"Your Majesty, what does Eunuch Wang mean by that is that I have a bad smell and the fish is fumigated?"

Qiu couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the fish was mocking her for being smelly? How could it be possible? The fish was deliberately making things difficult for her.

The Third Prince Mu Tianming, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, exchanged glances with Concubine Qian. Concubine Qian took the opportunity to say, "Sister Qiu, why are you so excited? This fish has been following His Royal Highness Jing well, why did it start to... feel uncomfortable when it saw you?"

Concubine Qian was not like Wang Xi, who had the audacity to say that fish would sneeze. Concubine Qian herself had never heard of this before, so she changed to a more euphemistic word.

"Maybe, it really smelled a special smell. My sister was just injured, so why not ask the imperial physician to come and take another look, in case the injury has changed? It's always better to be cautious."

Qiu: "..."

Qiu felt that Concubine Qian had bad intentions and of course she had to refuse. The emperor felt that what Concubine Qian said was very concerned, and after thinking for a while he said, "What Concubine Qian said makes sense, why not let the imperial physician check it again."

The previous imperial physician was recalled, and Mu Tianming deliberately reminded him, "Especially check carefully to see if Concubine Qiu's injury has changed, or if there is any special smell."

The imperial physician agreed and checked more carefully than ever before. Qiu was panicked, but she herself didn't know what the problem with the injury was.

Previously, the imperial physician had said that Concubine Qiu needed to rest after the examination, but this time, the imperial physician knelt down and apologized, telling the emperor that Concubine Qiu was fine, but there was a cypress scent on the wound. The imperial physician had only examined the wound itself and failed to notice this in time.

Cypress scent?

The emperor could not understand it for a while, but this at least showed that King Jing's fish could indeed smell a special smell.

The emperor's favorability towards King Jing's fish increased a little.

The usually gentle Sixth Prince pondered for a while, and suddenly realized: "Father, I seem to remember that there are no cypress trees in the Zhongcui Palace where Concubine Qiu lives. The wound on Concubine Qiu's arm..."

The emperor turned to Qiu and said sharply: "Qiu, did you lie to me? Tell me, where did you get hurt?" When the

imperial physician mentioned cypress, Concubine Qiu's legs began to tremble. The emperor glared at her. Concubine Qiu's mind went blank for a moment, and she knelt down trembling.

How could she explain that her wound was stained with the scent of cypress that was not in Zhongcui Palace?

A eunuch hurried into the palace and whispered a few words to Mu Tianming. The third prince's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up and said, "Father, regarding the fire in Zhongcui Palace, I have new progress. I heard that Huanhua, a maid in Zhongcui Palace, has disappeared. My guards just accidentally found a female corpse in the Yu Garden. After investigation, it was this Huanhua."

What? ?

Little Liyu was bored with the palace fighting and was secretly playing the finger rubbing game with King Jing. He was having a lot of fun. He was stunned when he heard the words. This little character named Huanhua didn't die in the original book. How could she die now?

No wonder the third prince didn't make any progress at the beginning. It was his turn to take action...

The third prince didn't make it clear whether Huanhua committed suicide or he killed her in a few words.

If it was the former, it might be because the originally planned small fire turned into a big fire that burned down half of the Zhongcui Palace, and Huanhua was afraid that she would not be able to explain herself, so she ended her life; if it was the latter, who would have killed Huanhua? Li Yu couldn't guess it based on the words of the third prince, but no matter what, Qiu was the most suspicious one.

When Qiu heard the news, a look of surprise appeared on her face for a moment.

The third prince said in a voice full of hidden joy: "It is said that Huanhua was once a close maid of Concubine Qiu. Fortunately, she left a suicide note before her death, revealing the murderer who killed her."

Concubine Qiu felt very bad, and the emperor said with a frown: "Show them all."

Then it was time for interrogation. The third prince's guards confirmed that he killed Huanhua and left a suicide note before her death. The suicide note pointed to no one else but her master Concubine Qiu. Huanhua herself also mentioned in the suicide note that it was Concubine Qiu who ordered her to set the fire. It must be that Concubine Qiu was afraid that she would reveal the secret, so she wanted to kill her.

Generally speaking, if he killed someone and left a suicide note, it would not be simple. Li Yu felt that something was wrong, but the Qiu family mentioned in Huanhua's suicide note was true.

The emperor immediately ordered people to search Yaxin Terrace according to the suicide note, and found cypress branches, handkerchiefs and other physical evidence that were unfavorable to Qiu, and also found witnesses who had seen Qiu appear in Yaxin Terrace.

Regardless of the real cause of Huanhua's death, Qiu ordered people to set fire to the palace, burned herself and deceived the emperor, and may even have killed someone. With these charges, even if the emperor had a little sympathy for Qiu, it disappeared completely.

He had previously thought that Qiu was too arrogant to teach the Second Prince well, mainly because Qiu had revealed the idea of ​​establishing a crown prince, which made Qiu and the Second Prince ambitious. However, he had not expected Qiu to be such a treacherous person...

Qiu fell to his knees, facing the overwhelming evidence, and did not even have time to say a word of defense. In front of all the concubines, the emperor demoted Qiu to a commoner and sent him to the cold palace. He also sent Luo Ruisheng to the Marquis of An's mansion to reprimand Marquis An in person.

Qiu and Marquis An could not make any more trouble.

Mu Tianming glanced at Mu Tianxiao with pride. He just wanted this mother and son to never turn over, so that his throne could be stable.

The Third Prince showed off, and the Sixth Prince responded with a submissive smile.

King Jing couldn't bear to listen to Qiu's crying, so he said goodbye to the emperor. The emperor was still somewhat interested in the little carp, but now was obviously not the time to study auspicious signs. The emperor ordered King Jing to come to the palace to discuss it another day.

When King Jing left, the Sixth Prince stared at King Jing with his eyes, as if thinking about something. King Jing also noticed the Sixth Prince's gaze, and also found that the Sixth Prince had one hand hanging down, which had been tucked into his sleeve and had never been taken out.

King Jing raised his eyebrows silently.

Mu Tianxiao smiled, and both hands emerged from his sleeves. He raised them and bowed to King Jing, saying in a gentle voice: "Goodbye, Fifth Brother."

King Jing saw that his hands were flawless, and nodded to him politely.

Li Yu stayed in the crystal bottle and walked with King Jing for a while. King Jing had taken him in and out of the palace several times, so he could still recognize the road roughly. He could also see that they did not go in the direction of the palace since leaving the palace.

King Jing's resolute profile was like a knife, and behind him followed dozens of silent black-clad guards. Wang Xi, who was standing beside him, had a drooping mouth and a solemn expression.

What were they going to do? Little Liyu was confused.

Recalling the original book, the part where Qiu was slapped in the face was mainly a duel between the lineage of the third prince and the lineage of the second prince. King Jing was not present. The fire in the original book only destroyed one palace room, the fire was not big, Huanhua was not dead, Qiu was finally demoted, not sent to the cold palace, and could still survive for a while. But now the fact is that King Jing was not only present, but also passed the news to the third prince, and used the third prince to get rid of Qiu, Qiu's end is much worse than in the book...

On the surface, the third prince and the sixth prince won this fight, but in fact, King Jing won.

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of Huanhua's death. Huanhua didn't commit suicide, so who killed her?

Xiao Liyu stole a glance at King Jing. Why did King Jing have a murderous aura again? Did King Jing secretly kill Huanhua?

Soon, he found the answer himself.

It was late at night. King Jing took the crystal bottle and walked around. He stopped in front of a house and made a move.

Behind him, all the black-clad guards disappeared into the night. King Jing himself also found a hidden place and looked at the house quietly.

There was a lot of noise in the house, and from time to time, there were scolding and scolding, as if someone was arguing constantly. After a while, a man surrounded by his followers came out angrily.

Li Yu recognized this man, it was the eunuch general manager Luo Ruisheng.

Eunuch Luo's face was full of anger and he couldn't hide it. The eunuchs beside him were busy persuading him: "Even a former favorite like you dared to talk back. Marquis An is really brainless and it seems that he can never be helped again."

Luo Ruisheng was very angry. The eunuch said it so bluntly, and Eunuch Luo felt that it was not appropriate: "There is no need to squeeze Marquis An like this, after all, he is a prince." The eunuchs

on the left and right didn't care: "Well, eunuch, you have seen a lot of the world, so what if you are a down-and-out phoenix? If you lose the emperor's favor, you are worse than a chicken."

It was indeed the case. Luo Ruisheng sneered contemptuously and said no more.

Li Yu realized from their conversation that this was the courtyard where Marquis An lived. The emperor had just ordered Steward Luo to come and reprimand him, so Steward Luo was here.

Eunuch Luo and his gang soon left. After they left, King Jing ordered the black-clad guards to surround the house, and then he tightly wrapped the chain on the handle of the crystal bottle several times, held it tightly, took a deep breath, and jumped onto the roof.

Li Yu was taken to the sky without any preparation: !!!

Li Yu looked carefully and saw that it was pitch black all around. The tyrant monarch actually brought his pet fish and squatted on the roof of Marquis An's house.

Li Yu didn't know what King Jing was going to do. He couldn't escape from the crystal bottle anyway, so he followed King Jing out of curiosity. He saw that King Jing still held the crystal bottle tightly with one hand, and gently lifted a tile with the other hand. The dim candlelight in the room below leaked out in an instant.

Li Yu: "..."

The little carp quickly moved its head over. Was King Jing trying to peek at Marquis An's miserable appearance? He wanted to see it too!

I don't know if it was intentional, but King Jing moved aside. The little carp that was jumping around in the crystal bottle stopped and could see the situation in the room clearly.

Marquis An had been trapped in the house for many days. The floor of this room was full of all kinds of broken porcelain and tiles. There was basically no intact furnishings.

Mu Tianzhao sat in a rosewood chair, holding his head in a dejected manner. He had not been able to see the emperor since he was confined to his house. Now there was news in the palace that Qiu had been banished to the cold palace. The emperor even sent Luo Ruisheng to reprimand him. Mu Tianzhao was born a prince, so he had never suffered such grievances. He became more and more angry and started to quarrel with Luo Gonggong. It was too late to regret now.

He had been very uncomfortable these days, often beating and scolding people around him. His wife and children did not dare to approach him. Only one or two servants dared to come and take care of him.

An old servant brought a bowl of soup and whispered a few words to Mu Tianzhao. Mu Tianzhao waved his hands impatiently and cursed. The servant did not dare to stay any longer and quietly withdrew.

Li Yu was watching the movement below. Seeing the second prince, who usually had a clean face, now had a scruffy beard, Yu felt relieved. However, King Jing did not intend to just watch. He suddenly moved, reached into his arms, and took out an object.

Li Yu took a glance and was stunned. This object... turned out to be his long-lost fish pillow!

This fish pillow was a reward for a mission. It was made of special materials and looked exactly like the previous fish. Most people could not tell it apart without a careful touch. Moreover, he had forgotten when he lost it. How did it end up in King Jing's hands?

When he thought that King Jing had quietly taken his fish pillow and not returned it, Li Yu: "..."

King Jing took out a string as thin as a hair, tied the string to the tail of the fish pillow, and then winked at the little carp that were watching. Li

Yu: "..."

Li Yu sensed the evil smile in King Jing's eyes, and was wondering what he was going to do, when King Jing had already neatly thrown the fish pillow into the house along the string.

Li Yu: "…………"

Li Yu hurriedly chased to the house and saw the fish pillow quietly immersed in the soup bowl. Because of the thin string, King Jing also seized the opportunity and dropped it without making any sound, and Mu Tianzhao, who was cursing and complaining about everything, did not notice it.

After scolding the servants, Mu Tianzhao scolded Eunuch Luo. He felt thirsty, so he picked up the bowl on the table and drank a mouthful of soup without even looking at it.

After drinking, he suddenly saw a gray fish floating in the bowl.

A fish that always brought him bad luck.

Mu Tianzhao was so scared that he accidentally smashed the bowl on the ground.

"It's not me, it's not me, don't look for me!"

Mu Tianzhao shook his head desperately and stared at the fish that fell on the ground. The fish didn't move and seemed to be dead, but Mu Tianzhao was still scared and stepped back.

He remembered something, and he grabbed his throat with all his strength, and shouted miserably: "Come on, come on! Help, save me!"

Mu Tianzhao didn't dare to look at the fish on the ground again, nor did he dare to stay in the room alone, so he stumbled out.

Why was Mu Tianzhao so radical?

Li Yu was a little puzzled. He knew that Mu Tianzhao hated him, but he didn't need to be so frightened by the fish pillow, and even crawled and cried for help. It was too exaggerated. Can fish bite people?

Could it be...

Li Yu suddenly had an idea, and combined with Mu Tianzhao's weird behavior, could it be that it was Mu Tianzhao's idea to poison the fish food and almost swallow the poisonous fish food?

So once the fish pillow was found, An Hou, who had a guilty conscience, thought that it was a poisoned fish coming to claim his life, and even thought... that the soup he just drank was poisoned?

An Hou, who was cut off from the news, still didn't know that his food carp was living a good life.

Li Yu suddenly figured out Marquis An's thoughts, and also figured out why King Jing had to bring his pet fish to the roof of Marquis An's house and put the fish pillow down.

Li Yu took a deep breath. If Marquis An wanted to harm the fish, then King Jing... was probably seeking revenge for the fish.

The little carp looked at Marquis An who was yelling like crazy below, and then looked at King Jing who was quiet beside him, and couldn't help but want to rub against his master.

How could this person be so nice to fish?

He felt that Huanhua would never be killed by Prince Jing, because if he wanted to deal with the second prince himself, Prince Jing could just do it directly, there was really no need to beat around the bush and get rid of a palace maid who didn't have to die.

While Marquis An was looking for people, Prince Jing quickly put the fish pillow away, then held up the crystal bottle and floated down from the roof.

"Your Highness!" Wang Xi came running over, he was responsible for meeting Prince Jing downstairs.

Marquis An had completely lost his power, and it was time to pay back the debt he owed to Prince Jing's mansion.

Prince Jing first scared Marquis An, he still remembered that Xiaoyu was extremely scared when he killed the female assassin. Prince Jing learned his lesson and didn't need to let Xiaoyu see it if he was too direct, just let Xiaoyu see that Marquis An was frightened and vent his anger first.

Next, King Jing made a gesture to Wang Xi indifferently, telling him to do it cleanly after he left.

Wang Xi received the order, and King Jing took the fish back to the mansion first. Wang Xi estimated that his master had walked quite far, so he ordered the black-clad guards who were ambushing around to take action.

The next day, there was a big commotion in An Hou's mansion. It was said that An Hou was reprimanded by the emperor and was in a bad mood. He drank alone to vent his anger. After getting drunk, he walked around aimlessly and accidentally fell into his own pond. When he was found and picked up by the servants, he was already breathing more than breathing.

The emperor was furious. An Hou's behavior was simply expressing his dissatisfaction with him. The emperor still asked the imperial physician to diagnose and treat An Hou because he was a prince. The imperial physician was skilled in medicine and saved Marquis An's life. However, after Marquis An woke up, he became crazy and said "It wasn't me" and "It was me" at another moment. No one understood what he meant.

The emperor was extremely disappointed with his son and ordered Marquis An to be completely locked up to prevent him from being released and frightening others. However, as Qiu was banished to the cold palace, no one would be so stupid as to mention Marquis An in front of the emperor.

Each mansion had some loyal servants, and Marquis An was no exception. A servant of Marquis An's mansion found Steward Luo and gave him money, hoping to follow Steward Luo's path and ask for the emperor's sympathy. Luo Ruisheng smiled and agreed, but he took the money but did not do anything. Who made Marquis An offend him?

A criminal should look like a criminal.

Prince Jing's mansion.

As soon as King Jing brought the fish back, his subordinates reported a good news. The new fish tank in the palace took many days to build, and the craftsmen worked non-stop. Finally, it was repaired.

Li Yu was a little sleepy at first, but he immediately became excited when he heard the news. He kept acting cute and blowing bubbles to King Jing. What kind of fish tank did King Jing get for him? He had heard about it several times and was almost dying of hunger!

King Jing knew what the carp spirit wanted to do when he flicked his tail. He followed the fish's wishes and did not rush to release the fish from the crystal bottle. Instead, he took the fish to see the new fish tank.

The fences that originally surrounded the repaired area of ​​King Jing's palace were all removed, revealing the true appearance. Li Yu screamed and was stunned.

You wouldn't know it until you see it. The palace is closely connected to the courtyards. All the original ponds and lotus ponds have been dug through. The empty spaces without ponds have also been dug out. Together, they have become a huge fish tank. The new fish tank is almost as big as the palace.

No, this can no longer be called a fish tank. It would be more appropriate to call it a fish pond or fish pond. The fish pond is filled with clear water, and the water is gurgling. A small waterwheel has been built on the side. Guards are guarding every ten steps to prevent others from approaching.

Li Yu was stunned and his eyes were hot as he looked at the new fish tank that he couldn't see the end of.

It's so big, is it just for him to have one fish? He has grown a lot, but King Jing actually gave him such a big new fish tank...

Oh, the fish is so touched!

King Jing bent down and tilted the crystal bottle over, wanting the little carp to try to swim in the new fish tank.

However, the little carp refused to swim out of the crystal bottle, and King Jing had no choice but to take the fish out of the bottle himself.

The little carp looked at him with its dark eyes, and its head rubbed his hand obediently.

King Jing curled his lips, held the fish and put it into the water. This was his gift to the little fish, and he hoped the little fish would like it.

After dealing with Marquis An, King Jing, who had no ripples in his heart, all his strong murderous intent turned into a little embarrassment.

The little carp reluctantly turned a few circles under King Jing's feet, and then swam slowly, and then faster and faster. Behind the fish, the pool water emitted a string of crystal waves.

This was the first time that Li Yu had swum in the pond after traveling through the book, and he had swum such a long distance. He was a little reserved at first, but when he saw the spectacular scenery under the water, he immediately attracted the attention of the fish.

This was no ordinary fish pond. The meticulous and nitpicking King Jing had people carve out a world just for the fish under the water.

On the underwater stone wall, circles of night-shining pearls were embedded, illuminating the originally dim pond water as bright as day. The undulating bottom of the pond was paved with round stones of various colors, and in the center stood a pavilion, terraces, towers, mountains, rocks, and trees, all of which were scaled down according to the actual landscape and carved out of jade.

The little carp was stunned. He swam over to admire it slowly. He gradually recognized that this was the scenery outside the palace. The craftsman was skilled and the carving was very vivid. Even the roads, stalls, passers-by, carriages, and even cats and dogs were carved out.

Because he was always carried around in a crystal bottle by King Jing, he had noticed the lively scene outside the palace. He took a quick glance and was full of envy. Now all of it was collected in his new fish tank and belonged to him.

Li Yu swam all the way down proudly, touching this and poking that with his fins, and couldn't let go. Although he couldn't leave the palace, his love for joining in the hustle and bustle was greatly satisfied.

He finally swam to a separate house at the end of the pond.

Li Yu thought the house looked familiar. After thinking for

a while, he recognized that it was King Jing's house. He didn't expect that the tyrant monarch would carve the house he lived in. Li Yu swam around the house and found that the door could be opened outwards. The little carp clumsily pushed the door open with its mouth.

In the yard, there stood a jade-carved person wearing a crown and tied hair, dressed in a brocade robe, and a sword hanging from his waist.

Although the eyebrows and eyes were not carved specifically, Li Yu immediately recognized that it was the jade statue of King Jing, because among the people he knew, King Jing was the only one who would dress like this.

Why are you so pitiful? You are the only one.

Li Yu smiled and knocked the jade statue over and lingered around it unceremoniously.

After playing for a while, he picked up the jade statue and placed it carefully.

Li Yu remembered that he had seen a small stone with a fish-shaped decoration on the underwater rock wall.

There were many such stones, and Li Yu found one without any effort. He grabbed a corner and broke it off the rock wall.

Everything went smoothly. The fish dragged the fish-shaped stone back to the jade statue, placed the stone fish next to the jade statue, and then closed the door of the house.

Done, this way the tyrant master is not alone!

Li Yu turned around twice excitedly and went back to find the real owner.
