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

Chapter 157

When Xiao Mingyi committed suicide, a palace maid passed by the garden and cleaned up the broken jade crown of Xiao Mingyi, even wiping away the winding bloodstains.

From the palace to the execution ground, Xiao Mingyi was helpless and was dragged all the way. From the execution ground back to the palace, Xiao Mingyi was still helpless and was carried back this time.

Qian Kun was extremely terrified and couldn't help but feel terrified even as he followed everyone else.

It was his sword that the Second Prince used to commit suicide!

Having his sword snatched away was already a dereliction of duty, not to mention that the Second Prince committed suicide in front of him. How could he explain this to the Emperor?

He returned to the palace with trepidation and searched the Qianqing Palace but couldn't find Emperor Xuan.

Hearing from the palace servants that the emperor was in Concubine Yu's palace at the moment, the group hurried to the Lianyan Palace.

Qingxi walked up to Emperor Xuan and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, Commander Qian has returned and is requesting an audience outside the palace."

"Outside the palace? Why not come in? Did the rebellious son realize he was wrong and apologize outside the palace?"

Qingxi hesitated, not daring to tell the truth directly, and could only say to Emperor Xuan in a tone that was almost pleading: "Your Majesty, please take a look yourself..."

Emperor Xuan also began to doubt Qingxi's attitude, as Qingxi had never been so indecisive in the past.

Suddenly Emperor Xuan remembered that when Xiaoliu got into trouble, Qingxi had the same reaction.

His heart skipped a beat. Could it be...that something happened to the second brother too?

Emperor Xuan didn't dare to think about it too much, and hurriedly let go of Wanqi's hand and walked out.

Wanqi opened his eyes a little, looked at Emperor Xuan's receding back, and then slowly closed them again.

Outside the hall, Qian Kun and others were kneeling, with Xiao Mingyi's body beside them.

Emperor Xuan saw this scene as soon as he stepped over the threshold.

His son is indeed gone...

Suddenly, Emperor Xuan's eyes turned red, and his heart ached as he looked at his silent son.

After seeing the hideous sword marks on Xiao Mingyi's neck, Emperor Xuan took a few steps back in disbelief.

He actually committed suicide!

"What... is going on?" Emperor Xuan questioned Qian Kun in a trembling voice: "How could my son become like this! He was clearly..." still alive in the palace. He just left the palace. How could a trip out of the palace take his life?

Qian Kun lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Emperor Xuan, and said with difficulty: "Your Highness... He couldn't bear to leave the Crown Princess... He snatched my sword... and committed suicide..."

"Waste!" Emperor Xuan was furious and kicked Qian Kun in the chest. "How could your sword be taken away by Yi'er?"

"Your Majesty, calm down! This was caused by my negligence..."

"Negligence? Oh, what an oversight!" Emperor Xuan was trembling with anger. "I think you've had enough of this commanding position! Qian Kun is immediately dismissed from his position as commander of the Imperial Guard. He is convicted of dereliction of duty and conspiracy to murder the heir to the throne and is imprisoned!"

Qian Kun widened his eyes in disbelief. Did the emperor abandon him just like that?

"Your Majesty!" he shouted, "Your Majesty! Qian Kun knows his crime! But I didn't murder the Second Prince! Your Majesty! I'm innocent!!!"

Emperor Xuan looked at Qian Kun as if his eyes were filled with poison and did not listen to his explanation.

He shouted, "Take him away!"

Qian Kun was escorted, dragged, and pulled farther and farther away.

But Emperor Xuan still felt empty in his heart, as he lost his three sons in the blink of an eye.

He wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. He felt sorry but not regretful.

Qingxi was a little frightened by Emperor Xuan's ever-changing expression. He opened his mouth, but could not utter any words of persuasion. He could only ask carefully, "Your Majesty... His Highness, what should we do?"

"Yier..."

"Ah!!! Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor? This concubine is in so much pain... Your Majesty, this concubine is in so much pain~"

Upon hearing Wanqi's screams, Emperor Xuan's face changed and he actually left Xiao Mingyi and ran back to the palace.

"My beloved, I'm here! Where does it hurt? Where's the doctor? Come here!"

A group of imperial doctors standing by huddled together and knelt down, apologizing one after another.

"Emperor calm down!"

"My concubine is crying out in pain! What are you all doing?" Emperor Xuan clenched his fists, his face ferocious and terrifying.

The Imperial Physician, head bowed, was the first to explain, "Your Majesty's wound is very deep, and the effect of the Ma Fei San has worn off, so it hurts... If Your Majesty can't bear it any more, I will go and boil two more pots of Ma Fei San..."

"Go quickly!"

"Yes! I will go right away."

At this time, Emperor Xuan was like a lion on the verge of rage because of fighting for love, and no one dared to provoke him.

As soon as the Imperial Physician heard Emperor Xuan's order, they ran away without stopping at all.

It’s just a pity that the remaining imperial doctors are still shrinking like quails.

Qingxi did not step into the Lanyan Palace, but from his perspective, he could see the tenderness and heartache on Emperor Xuan's face.

The Second Prince's body is still warm, but the Emperor seems to have forgotten him.

Qingxi sighed and thought of the time in the garden for no reason.

Did the Emperor really not see the Second Prince? No, that's not the case.

Emperor Xuan was facing Xiao Mingyi who was walking towards him.

Even though Qingxi was blocking some of his view in front, Emperor Xuan still saw Xiao Mingyi the moment he appeared.

It was just that Emperor Xuan was accompanying the beauty, and he didn't care, so he pretended not to know.

Rather than saying that Xiao Mingyi committed suicide for his wife, it would be more accurate to say that he lost himself and was completely devastated.

Xiao Mingyi did not commit suicide, but was murdered.

The emperor with tender eyes in the Lanyan Palace at this moment is the murderer.

..........

Xiao Mingyi was buried three days later, and he was never buried with Chu Lingle until his death.

Sinners are not worthy to be the wives of heaven.

But the prince is still a prince.

..........

When the news reached Jinyou, they had already entered Lizhou.

Lizhou is located in the south and is not very prosperous.

Jinyou and his entourage had a total of six carriages, one for people and five for goods.

The goods were all purchased from nearby states and counties, ranging from jewelry and porcelain to tea and cakes.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, dozens of horses were sent out for foster care, and everyone measured the land with their feet.

When they arrived at Guangling Prefecture, the capital of Lizhou, the group was reorganizing outside the city when two carrier pigeons suddenly swooped down from the sky and Cen Ye caught them, one in each hand.

Cen Ye grabbed the carrier pigeon and walked towards Jin You: "Prince, there is a letter from the capital."

Si Tong took a pigeon, pulled out the note from the mailbox, and then handed it to Jin You.

The note slowly unfolded, revealing densely packed small characters, with more than one message written on it.

The first one was from the palace, Wanqi's message: "Xiao Mingyi is dead. When can I see Wanyan Yu?"

The second one was from Xiao Que'er: "Wanqi was injured by the sword, and after Xiao Mingyi died, the Gu worm went slightly out of control."

The third one was from Wanyan Yu: "Where did you take Zhen'er? Emperor Xuan summoned me to the palace, perhaps it was related to military power."

That’s it for the first note.

The second one didn't contain much information, but it was from Bai Mo: "Xun Gongsheng said that Jin Jinjue had discussed with him about letting him take the exam for him. Xun Gongsheng refused, but Jin Jinjue discovered Yanxi's existence and went to Zuichunxuan to make a scene. Xun Gongsheng is very grateful to the prince for saving his life, and is willing to join forces with the other candidates to help the prince expose the conspiracy of the aristocratic families to sell official positions and replace the candidates."

The note ends.

Jinyou sighed. They had been traveling for less than ten days, and the news was sent out at least five days ago.

Even if the message is sent back at this time, there will still be information gaps.

The round trip takes at least ten days.

There was no way out, Jinyou accepted his fate and wrote back.

But in addition to the three people, Jinyou added another person in - Xiao Mingcheng.

It was originally thought that Wanqi's poisonous insect could control Emperor Xuan and make him temporarily forget Wanyan Yu, but now it seems that as long as the person with the child poisonous insect in his body dies, the mother poisonous insect will also be affected.

Now Emperor Xuan has set his sights on Wanyan Yu, this popular commodity. How could he let him go again?

If it weren't for the Yanzhi Kingdom in the southern border who was eyeing them covetously, no one except Wanyan Yu could suppress them. Otherwise, given Emperor Xuan's caution towards the military power in the hands of others, he would have taken it back as soon as he ascended the throne.

It has been delayed until now, and the peace talks between Yanzhi Kingdom and the princess have brought at least ten years of peace.

It's time to get rid of it.

Jinyou stuffed the two notes into the mailbox and then handed them to Cen Ye.

After the two pigeons have eaten and drunk enough, we can set off again.
