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

Chapter 106 The Lost and Found Treasure

"Wait." Jinyou stopped Yingqi who was about to leave, "Send someone to keep an eye on Wang and see what she does every day. Also, find out how her two children died."

Yingqi took the order and left, but Jinyou still had many questions in his mind.

Was Wang really insane, or was there something else going on? The fact that she was not mute and never spoke made Jinyou suspicious.

However, Jinyou had no time to think about Wang's affairs at this moment, because he suddenly heard Xiao Yunzhen "shouting".

【ah! ! ! ! 】

Something happened! This was Jinyou's first reaction.

"Xiao Yunzhen!" Jinyou pushed the door open and shouted.

But what followed was a daze.

Wang was changing Xiao Yunzhen's clothes, and a puddle of water appeared on the bed.

[How shameful...Ah! Jinyou! Get out!]

Jinyou's forehead twitched. Why did he have such a strong sense of self-esteem? Who cared about this little kid?

However, even though he thought this in his heart, his body still honestly retreated.

"The clothes are in the cabinet on the left." After saying that, Jinyou left the room and closed the door.

Wang quickly changed Xiao Yunzhen's clothes, and when he appeared again, Xiao Yunzhen had turned into a clean and fragrant baby.

Wang knew that her mission had been accomplished, but she was reluctant to let go of Xiao Yunzhen's hand.

Jinyou stared at her, and she was also conflicted. In the end, she handed Xiao Yunzhen to Jinyou, then turned around and left.

[This person... is so strange...]

"What's weird?"

[It gives me a very familiar feeling.]

Jinyou caught the key words in his words and frowned, "Familiar? In the previous life?"

[I don't know, I can't remember clearly, but it doesn't matter. Who came just now?]

Xiao Yunzhen still remembered that before going to bed, some uninvited guests came uninvited. He didn't know what their intentions were. Why did they come to embarrass a child while He Qianzhao was away?

But what Jinyou said next stunned him.

"It's the eldest prince. He came to ask about Jixiang."

Auspicious...The unfamiliar name made Xiao Yunzhen's brain freeze for a moment.

"Xiao Yutiao." Jinyou explained.

Does the eldest brother know something? Why is he asking Tiao Tiao? Or does he have other thoughts?

Xiao Yunzhen's mind worked very quickly.

"I'm already dead, but he's still asking you, did he guess I'm alive? What about Father? Did he guess that too?"

As Xiao Yunzhen spoke, his emotions gradually became excited.

【Wouldn't it be that all our plans were in vain?】

"Please be patient. The Emperor may not be able to guess that you are still alive, but the eldest prince is different. He is far from being as simple as you think."

【What's the meaning? 】

Jinyou took him to the study and closed the door tightly.

Some things are safer to discuss in a more formal setting.

"First, tell me about your understanding of the eldest prince in your previous life."

Although this life is different from that life, people will not change much. Jinyou also wants to find some details and clues from his experiences in the previous life. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

[In the previous life... My eldest brother had a strained relationship with my father. After ascending the throne, my father wanted to compensate my brother by making him a prince. However, my brother refused and refused to participate in government affairs. He even stayed indoors. Throughout the year, he was only seen at family dinners. At the end of the seventh year of the Xuanwu reign, Tiaotiao was found and given the title of Princess. However, my eldest brother passed away in October of that year.]

"Died of illness?" Why did he die of illness again? From Xiao Yunzhen's description of his past life, the Empress died of illness, and now the eldest prince died of illness as well?

But at the moment it seems that the eldest prince has no signs of illness, which is really strange!

And the timing is also questionable.

He died of a sudden illness two months before Tiaotiao was found, as if someone was preventing the two from meeting.

[I also heard that my eldest brother died of illness. The illness came on very suddenly, and he passed away in less than two hours.]

Xiao Yunzhen was in a low mood, and even his voice was a little sad.

Jin You knocked on the table. "Do you think someone is trying to stop them from meeting? Didn't you say that Xiao Yutiao was the chosen relative in your previous life? If the eldest prince were still alive, Xiao Yutiao wouldn't have been chosen."

The eldest prince would rather break up with his father, the emperor, because of Xiao Yutiao. If his only daughter is really sent away to marry, is there anything he can't do?

"Once the eldest prince dies, no one will stop Xiao Yutiao from becoming the candidate for marriage. But..." Jinyou analyzed, "There is still one thing that is unclear."

【What? 】

Jin You hesitated for a moment and then said, "In this life, Xiao Yutiao is in our hands. It wasn't the Emperor who found her first. But if my speculation is correct and there's another hidden reason behind the eldest prince's death, then Xiao Yutiao shouldn't be here."

Jinyou couldn't figure it out, as if there was an important chain missing between the rings.

Suddenly Xiao Yunzhen said:

[Do you remember me saying that when I was two years old, He Qianzhao disappeared and then there were rumors of his death... I suspect all of this has something to do with Tiaotiao!]

Jin You's heart skipped a beat. "But now that my father is gone and Xiao Yutiao is in my hands, we've already changed most of the course of events. As long as we find the true cause of the eldest prince's death... No, perhaps we need to start with the cause of the queen's death."

[You mean, the Queen was also murdered? Who else in this world could murder...]

Xiao Yunzhen paused, and he thought of someone he had never imagined.

【Father?】The voice was also hesitant.

Jinyou remained noncommittal, but he still persuaded her, "All of this is just our conjecture now, and it's not reliable. Don't overthink it. The Queen's declining health might just be a sign of her passing. Now that we have the upper hand, we can always find a way to change the tragedy of the previous life."

"I understand, but what do you mean by 'Big Brother' isn't as simple as I thought?"

Judging from Xiao Yunzhen's memories of his previous life, his eldest brother was clearly a good father and brother who was not moved by fame and fortune and was not competitive. He might be a bit reserved, but he was definitely not complicated.

But why did Jinyou say that the eldest prince was not simple?

Jinyou only said, "Perhaps nothing we did could escape the eldest prince's surveillance."

[Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]

Xiao Yunzhen didn't believe it, and he couldn't accept this fact.

Jinyou shook his head. "Maybe he never paid attention to me before he heard your voice, but he happened to hear your voice. He also knew that you were not dead, and he was even investigating the official trafficking incident."

When these words came out, Xiao Yunzhen was shocked.

[What? But Big Brother doesn't have any help at all? Even in the last life...]

"Alas, Xiao Yunzhen, the events of the previous life are already in the past. Perhaps from the moment you appeared and were reborn, this life has become a new world. I have said this many times, why do you refuse to listen and accept it?"

[But many things are still proceeding along the same trajectory as in the previous life! The official sales incident did happen, and Princess Wanqi entered the palace. Clearly, nothing has changed!]

Xiao Yunzhen was still arguing, even though most things were still going in the same direction as in his previous life, except for him, nothing had changed.

"The Fifth Prince has become a commoner. Did you know? Did this also happen in the previous life?"

Jinyou rubbed his forehead and threw out a bombshell helplessly.

[Wha, what? How did Fifth Brother become a commoner? ]

Xiao Yunzhen was surprised. This incident did not happen in his previous life, and it was not even in the "complete version" he saw.

Jinyou could tell from his reaction that the fifth prince had not become a commoner in his previous life.

He said, "You see, this is inconsistent with your memory. Are you still immersed in your past life? Even if you believed in your past life before, from now on you should live in the present, right? Just find ways to avoid things that haven't happened yet, and don't worry about everything that hasn't happened yet."

It's good that Xiao Yunzhen cares about the people around him, but worrying too much is like being overly pessimistic and seeing enemies everywhere.

But he is obviously a baby now. Even if his mind is fifteen years old, his spirit is not fifteen years old. He will be tired, or even... too early!

Xiao Yunzhen was silent for a long time, so long that when Jinyou thought he had fallen asleep again, Xiao Yunzhen suddenly spoke.

[I know there's a gap between our two lives, and this life isn't the same as the last, but I've witnessed my mother's death, seen you being bullied, and seen the Regent's Palace destroyed. I dare not stop thinking about it. I'm afraid, afraid of all this happening again, afraid of losing again...]

"I've finally been reborn. Even though I'm a baby, I have everything again. You're all here. But what if I do nothing and the tragedy of my previous life happens again? Am I going to give away everything I've worked so hard to gain?"

[You are my lost and found treasures. I can’t bear to part with you, and I don’t want to give you up! ]
