The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?

Wanyan Yu had a serious look on his face. Although he was a little hesitant in his heart, he believed in Jinyou. Besides, he had no other choice now.

My homeland is three thousand miles away, but I don’t know where to return home.

Jin You obviously saw through his concerns and said, "Uncle, you must be exhausted from all the traveling. You can rest for a while in the palace. If the Emperor Xuan sends someone to look for you, I will have my own way. Uncle, just rest assured."

"Okay." Wanyan Yu did not refuse anymore. He also wanted to see what Jinyou was capable of.

"Wenyan, take my uncle to Huayang Garden to rest."

Wen Yan had been listening outside the front hall for a long time and naturally knew Wanyan Yu's identity, so he did not dare to neglect him.

"Yes, Prince. General, please follow me."

Wanyan Yu stood up, took Ah Si and followed Wen Yan across the front hall, then turned to look at Jinyou and suddenly asked a question.

"When did Ah Zhao get married? Why haven't I received any news from him? When will your mother return home?"

Wanyan Yu thought that Jinyou's mother was not at home, so he let Jinyou take charge of receiving the guests. However, he never thought that Jinyou had no mother and He Qianzhao was not married.

Jinyou was surprised for a moment. Given the relationship between his father and his uncle, he should not have hidden anything. He just didn't know why his uncle didn't know everything about him.

Why did my father keep it a secret? Did he not want to or could he not?

But he did not express his doubts directly, but only tried to clarify them for Wanyan Yu.

"Uncle, my nephew was adopted by our father. He has no mother, and our father is also unmarried."

Wanyan Yu frowned slightly, his sword-like brows slightly furrowed, and he was puzzled but did not continue to ask.

"Forget it. Where is Huayang Garden? I'm going to rest for a while. When I have some free time, could You'er help my uncle solve his doubts?"

Jinyou nodded. He naturally knew what Wanyan Yu meant by "solving the doubts".

During this period of time, he also has to think of some ways to deal with it, whether to continue to test or choose to cooperate and seek help.

But Wanyan Yu's words made Jinyou understand instantly.

Wanyan Yu said, "A Zhao and I have known each other since childhood. You are A Zhao's child, just like my child. If a child is bullied outside, he or she will naturally seek help from his or her elders."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Lead the way."

Jin You's heart was touched. He looked at Wan Yanyu's solid back and bowed deeply. "You'er understands!"

After seeing Wanyan Yu off, Jinyou rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired, but the matter had not been resolved yet, and Ji Zhonghuan was still waiting in the study!

There is always a mountain higher than the other, and there is still a long way to go!

When Jinyou came to the study, Ji Zhonghuan had not left yet.

"Your Highness has taken the time out of his busy schedule to come. It is truly an honor for me to meet you, Your Highness!"

Ji Zhonghuan's words were too sour, so Jinyou forced a smile.

"Master Ji, what are you talking about? Isn't this palace open to you as you please? If you don't want to discuss this with me, I won't stop you from leaving now."

Ji Zhonghuan glared, shaking his beard and snorting coldly, "Humph, I don't know where you learned this from, little kid, to have so many thoughts!"

Jinyou took it as a compliment and bowed, "Thank you for the compliment, Master Ji."

"Alright." Ji Zhonghuan interrupted Jinyou's smooth talk and got down to business. "I won't ask you about the Sixth Prince for now. The official trafficking case is a bit difficult to investigate."

"what happened?"

Ji Zhonghuan pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Ever since your people started investigating the official trafficking case, the clue leading to Zhao Zhener has suddenly been cut off.

Zhao Zhen'er was found hanged outside the Zhu Mansion gate while pregnant. There were no witnesses, but after Chen Xuan performed an autopsy, he discovered a tiny pinhole in an inconspicuous area behind Zhao Zhen'er's ear.

"Why didn't Chen Xuan find it during the first autopsy?"

"Your Highness cannot help but wonder, but the pinhole is extremely tiny and hidden by the hair, making it difficult to detect. Chen Xuan also stayed up all night examining the corpse before discovering the pinhole."

Jinyou frowned in thought, "Are you trying to say that Zhao Zhen'er didn't commit suicide, but was assassinated before her death and then hung on the door?"

Ji Zhonghuan nodded, "It's a possibility that can't be ruled out. It's just a pity that Madam Zhu didn't finish her words and didn't know whose child Zhao Zhen'er was carrying."

"It seems like there's something fishy going on here, but judging by the current situation, none of this is working in our favor," Jinyou analyzed. "With Zhao Zhen'er's death, we've lost a crucial clue. We need to take a long-term approach and search for a new breakthrough, but we don't have much time."

Jin You looked at Ji Zhonghuan and asked, "Master Ji, do you have any good ideas?"

Ji Zhonghuan stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "In my opinion, we should send someone to thoroughly search the Zhu Mansion. Perhaps we can find some clues. Zhao Zhen'er's maid is currently missing. I'm afraid she has already died."

Jinyou nodded in agreement. "Well, Master Ji, what you said makes sense. However, the maid is probably not an insider of the official trafficking case. She was most likely silenced by Madam Zhu..."

Silencing...

Jin You paused, then stood up in a hurry. "If the maid was really silenced, then her body must still be in the Zhu Mansion, Master Ji, you must send more people and dig three feet underground to find her!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll take care of this matter." Ji Zhonghuan looked at Jinyou's expression and asked tentatively, "Did Your Highness suddenly think of something?"

Jinyou nodded slowly. "Perhaps we were going in the wrong direction from the beginning. Madam Zhu might not be unaware that Zhu Xun was secretly selling official positions. What if she killed Zhu Xun not because of Zhao Zhener?"

Ji Zhonghuan also stood up, "You mean...?"

"Well, I have some guesses in my mind, but I don't have any evidence to prove my guesses are correct. But if the deaths of everyone in the Zhu Mansion were all part of that person's plan, then everything we do cannot escape his plan."

Jinyou stood in front of the desk and hastily drew a chessboard on the rice paper.

Ji Zhonghuan also leaned over to take a look.

"If we are here now, then the person behind this would be here." Jinyou pointed to a chess spot and raised his hand to draw a big cross with a cinnabar pen.

"Here, as long as we can find the clues first, we can break through the blockade and reverse the situation in one fell swoop!" Jinyou said in a firm tone, with a determination in his eyes.

Ji Zhonghuan frowned and said, "But Prince, we have no clue right now. How can we break through this chess game and find the person behind it?"

Jinyou raised his eyes slightly, "Who said we have no clue?"

The person who knew the clue was still unconscious in Qingfei's yard.

Before leaving, Qing Fei said that as long as Ying Shisan could wake up before dawn, she could save his life from the underworld.

I just don’t know if Ying Shisan has woken up at this moment.

Before, there was only one genius doctor, Qing Fei, in the mansion, and it was inevitable that he would be stretched to the limit with his own strength.

But perhaps with Pei Qingfan's help, it would be difficult for Ying Shisan to die now!

Unfortunately, Ji Zhonghuan had no idea there was such a person as Ying Shisan. He was completely bewildered and asked Jin You, "All the clues are gone. What else can we expect? It's too late to look for clues now. There are only ten days left until the autumn imperial examination begins!"

Jin You shook his head. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he gave Ji Zhonghuan some peace of mind. "Ten days is enough time. Someone will definitely pay the price in this year's Autumn Examination."

"Prince, are you talking about the Second Prince? But we don't have the evidence to bring him down all at once..." Ji Zhonghuan stopped talking halfway, as if he realized something.

I forgot about the Yan Zhiren I saw in the Zhu Mansion last time. If the second prince really colluded with Yan Zhiren, I am afraid that even the emperor would not tolerate him!

Jin You showed a mysterious smile on his face. He walked up to Ji Zhonghuan, clapped his hands and said, "Master Ji, I'm afraid you're overthinking it. The Second Prince is very likely unrelated to the case. It's true that there are people from Yan Zhi in his mansion, but whether he knows about it or not is unknown. This prince never does anything without confidence. If I catch him, I only hope to nail him to death in an instant and never let him turn over!"

"Then the most urgent task right now is to find clues about the Zhu Mansion and the person behind the scenes so that we can take advantage of the autumn exam..." Ji Zhonghuan swallowed the rest of his words and pointed his finger to the sky, his meaning was self-evident.

Jinyou teased Ji Zhonghuan, "Yes, after this, Master Ji's status will soar. Don't forget your friendship with me when the time comes."

"What are you talking about, Prince? As the Minister of Justice, I will only be the Minister of Justice for the rest of my life. As for you, Prince... you should think more about the consequences you will face if He Qianzhao returns to the capital and discovers that you have plotted against Xiao Yunzhen! Is the Sixth Prince truly dead?"

"Oh? Why do you ask this, Master Ji? The Sixth Prince was held hostage by the nanny and accidentally fell off a cliff and died. Now his body is in the palace. Why don't you believe it, Master Ji?"

Jinyou narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with dangerous warnings.

Ji Zhonghuan's heart skipped a beat. He had already tried to figure out what he wanted, so he stopped asking questions and said, "Since the Sixth Prince is dead, I will be responsible for investigating this matter. However, there are no survivors among the bodies in the palace, and I am helpless. I just want the Crown Prince to give me some clear instructions."

Jinyou frowned, feeling confused for some reason.

Jin He coughed lightly and asked Ji Zhonghuan, "Master Ji, do you want absolute fairness or do you want to give the emperor an explanation within three days?"

Ji Zhonghuan remained silent and asked him, "What do you think I should do, Your Highness?"
