The shaking didn't stop until last night. Jing Li was thinking that he could finally have a good night's sleep, but why was there always someone disturbing his sweet dreams?

As soon as I looked up, I saw the scrutinizing gaze of the young man in dragon robe.

The current emperor looked at him for a moment, seeming a little hesitant. "This little guy looks silly. Do you think the Regent will really like him?"

...Who are you calling stupid!

The little koi fish swung its tail unhappily, splashing some water.

"Oh, this fish can understand human language?" Qi Xuan became interested. "Little koi, do you know why I brought you here from thousands of miles away?"

Of course Jing Li knew it.

He was bored these days trapped in this small fish tank, and his only pleasure was listening to the people around him chatting. From those people's gossip, he learned about his current identity.

He was a birthday gift from the current emperor to the Regent on his 28th birthday.

A koi that can bring good luck to people.

It's outrageous.

If he could really bring good luck to people, how could he have come here just by sleeping at home?

Jing Li reasonably suspected that the young emperor wanted to take advantage of his unlucky physique wherever he went to kill the regent.

The regent's surname is Qin and his name is Zhao. He is the only prince of a different surname canonized by the previous emperor and is also the teacher of the current emperor.

The current emperor succeeded to the throne at the age of twelve. At that time, the late emperor had been seriously ill for many years, and the court and the people inside and outside were in charge of their own affairs. Qin Zhao took over this mess.

After the Regent came to power, he spent several years cleaning up the court inside and outside, and personally destroyed the Queen Mother's ambition to usurp the throne, which brought about the current peace and prosperity.

But that doesn't mean everything is fine.

This regent, known for his murderous nature and ruthlessness, was clearly a more suitable candidate for the throne than the weak and timid current emperor. However, the regent had controlled government for many years and had never attempted to usurp the throne.

He was like a sword hanging over the little emperor's head, ready to take his life at any time.

At least that's what outsiders think.

In the three days since Jing Li came to this era, he heard the guards who transported him secretly discussing more than once that the emperor would do anything to please the regent and buy a way out, and he didn't know when the regent would seize the throne and give the little emperor a quick death.

Even his subordinates dared to talk like this. It can be said that the emperor must be very frustrated.

Now, the rumored little emperor stood before Jing Li, seemingly unassuming, and even coaxed him cheerfully, "Anyway, when the Regent arrives, you'll have to help me cheer him up. If you can convince the Regent to accept you, you'll have no worries about wealth and glory in the future. Do you understand?"

Jing Li actually didn't think that the Regent would accept him.

I heard that the Regent is not only unkind but also a complete workaholic. He doesn't seem to be associated with raising fish or walking birds. WwWx520xs.

Just as Jing Li was thinking this, he heard the little emperor say slowly, "But if the Regent Prince is unwilling to accept you... I will have no choice but to send you to the Imperial Kitchen."

"I usually love eating fish, but I've never tasted koi meat. I wonder what it tastes like?"

Jing Li: “…”

Isn’t it just to please the Regent? He can do it, he definitely can.

At this moment, someone outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, the Regent wants to see you."

The smile on the little emperor's face faded a little. He adjusted his hair, sat upright at the table, and coughed lightly, "Let him in."
