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

Chapter 129 List

Although Jinyou said it was just a private matter, everyone knows that there are no private matters in the royal family, even if Jinyou is considered half a royal family member.

It is not difficult to guess that it must be related to the Imperial Concubine Chen in the palace.

The two minor officials did not speak first. Although Cui Guangdao had become a cabinet minister, he had a deep connection with He Qianzhao.

Looking at Jinyou at this time, although he knew in his heart that this little kid was a clever kid, everything he said and did had a purpose.

But he was still willing to help, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at Jinyou.

So he spoke first to break the silence.

Cui Guangdao asked, "Are You'er worried about Concubine Chen?"

"Yes." Jin You said bluntly, "Since ancient times, there has never been a phenomenon of two imperial concubines in one palace. Now that the emperor has promoted Concubine Yu to imperial concubine, how will my aunt feel?

Now my aunt has first experienced the pain of losing her son, and now a princess has come to marry into the royal family and become her equal. As her nephew, I can't help her and can only watch my aunt being humiliated... You'er feels really sad.

"You'er handled this matter as a private matter because he was thinking, what if the emperor has a plan in mind? Wouldn't this be a betrayal of tradition and a precedent of having two concubines in one palace?"

Because I dare not jump to conclusion, I can only treat this as a private matter and ask everyone to come up with a solution.

Jinyou automatically omitted the rest of the words, blinked his deer eyes and looked at the few people, pretending to be cute, which made people suddenly remember that he was just an eight-year-old child.

Alas, what's wrong with an eight-year-old child just feeling sorry for his aunt?

It’s not a big deal!

Besides, it was indeed the emperor who violated the ancestral regulations first, so it’s no wonder that the children are worried.

People who don’t know Jinyou now just think that he is harmless and a good boy who always thinks about his aunt.

Wei Sinan, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, was also a true character. He immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely stand on your side in this matter."

Jinyou instantly gave him a look of gratitude, which made Wei Sinan overjoyed and filled with a desire to protect him.

He had been working in the Honglu Temple for three years and had received envoys from the Yanzhi Kingdom at least eight times.

Those envoys were so arrogant that they would trample on the reputation of the Honglu Temple every time they came.

If it wasn't his duty to receive the envoy, he would have lost control of his temper and beaten the man up.

Now the princess who was married to Yan Zhilai was acting arrogantly in the palace and bullying the aunt of such a lovely child. He could not tolerate this any longer.

How could he let go of the opportunity that came right to his door?

As soon as he patted his chest and made the promise, he was thinking about how to make a contribution when he went to court tomorrow.

Xiao Mingcheng pondered for a moment and asked Jinyou: "Tomorrow is the first session of the imperial examination. I'm afraid he won't care about these trivial matters."

This is to remind Jinyou that it is best not to cause trouble in the next few days.

Jinyou nodded in agreement. "I know, but I can't bear to let my aunt suffer... How about this, retreat in order to advance?"

Cui Guangdao became interested when he heard this. What kind of crazy idea did this little kid come up with?

"Would you like to tell me?" he said.

"The Emperor has always been wary of my father's power. If one of us were to initiate the proposal to promote Aunt, I'm afraid it would only make him even more wary. Since it would cause fear regardless of whether we bring it up or not, or whoever brings it up, why not let someone else do it? As long as the end is achieved, the means don't matter, right?"

Cui Guangdao frowned slightly. The method was a bit despicable, but feasible.

But he thought clearly in a moment.

Leaving a way out for political enemies in the court is blocking your own way forward.

Even if we can't capture them in one fell swoop, at least we can disgust them.

After thinking it through, he clapped his hands and said, "That's feasible."

Jin You smiled shyly: "I just don't want you to get hurt because of You'er. This is a private matter, and I can't let you uncles work hard and be feared for nothing."

"He's a good boy." Cui Guangdao touched Jinyou's head lovingly, "Just wait for good news at home for the next two days."

"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Cui!"

When Jinyou is not serious, his childish voice is so soft that it makes people feel soft in their hearts and want to give him the best.

At this time, Cui Guangdao's heart was filled with joy. He touched Jinyou's little head and rubbed it, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

Xiao Mingcheng took a sip of tea and looked at Jinyou's innocent look, which made him unsure for a moment.

His intuition told him that something was definitely wrong, but he couldn't see anything wrong with his eyes.

Jinyou spoke a few more words to the three of them, and then they hurried away, each going to find their mortal enemy to give hints.

After the three of them left, Jinyou breathed a sigh of relief. He was so tired. He was really tired of pretending.

"Do you really want the concubine to become the Imperial Concubine? Instead of harming her?"

The emperor is clearly wary of the He family's power. If he is forced to promote He Zhiyi, it will only hasten her death.

If He Zhiyi still had the prince by her side, everything would be possible.

But now that He Zhiyi has lost her prince, the emperor may have already planned when and how she would die.

And now, all that He Jinyou did seemed to be praising He Zhiyi, but wasn't it actually harming her? This was what Xiao Mingcheng was most puzzled about.

Jinyou didn't keep him in suspense.

"You've already guessed that Xiao Yunzhen is with me, so you can understand that I do all this just for him."

He said bluntly, "He Zhiyi could hear Xiao Yunzhen's inner thoughts, so she had the killing intent. If she had chosen not to know or to discuss it with me, it would have been fine, but she didn't. She shouldn't have thought of using someone else to get rid of Xiao Yunzhen."

"What?!" Xiao Mingcheng frowned, his face livid. "They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Isn't she Sixth Brother's biological mother? How could she have the intention to kill him?"

"Maybe she thinks she is still young and it is not impossible to have another child for the emperor." Jinyou shook his head and said no more.

Xiao Mingcheng also understood that He Jinyou was planning to gradually block her retreat route by flattering her, and he really wanted her to die!

He said, "But if this is the only way, it is not enough to make the emperor give up her."

After drinking a cup of tea and feeling a little better in his throat, Jinyou said slowly, "What if I add the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"Deceiving the king?"

Jinyou nodded, but did not explain, only saying: "Your Highness will know when the time comes."

Xiao Mingcheng wanted to ask more questions, but Ji Shuxiao happened to come back.

"Your Highness, Crown Prince, this is the list they gave away of all those who successfully bought official positions through their connections, with specific prices and positions. I have written two copies for you to review."

Jinyou took it and took a quick look. There were quite a lot of people.

He asked, "Where are they?"

"They went back in separate directions, and no one noticed them."

It was hard to pay attention to them. After all, Zui Chun Xuan was the largest prostitute house in the capital, and the prostitutes there were all extremely beautiful. Even if they didn't sell their bodies, they could still make the young masters of various families spend a fortune on them.

Even in the daytime, there was a constant stream of people in front of Zuichunlou.

A dozen people scattered into the crowd and were not conspicuous, not causing any waves at all, so there was no need to worry.

"Okay." Jinyou handed one list to Xiao Mingcheng and the other to Ji Shuxiao, saying, "Keep this list and hand it over to Lord Ji in person when you return."

"Yes, I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
