After being a favorite concubine for several years, Qiu knew that the emperor always had a place for King Jing in his heart. She was more jealous of King Jing because of this. What if the emperor got angry with her for this matter and implicated the second prince who was about to become the crown prince!

Qiu couldn't watch herself and the second prince suffer, so she thought of an idea that she thought was smart!

"Zhao'er, come, don't make a sound, we have to... hide this fish quickly."

Mu Tianzhao: ???

Qiu didn't want others to handle it. The Qianqing Palace was not her territory. The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair not far away. If she called her confidants to deal with it, it might attract the emperor's attention. The fewer people who knew that King Jing's fish was dead, the better.

Qiu and the second prince blocked the bowl together and discussed in a low voice.

Qiu's idea was to hide the dead fish first, and then pretend to find that the fish was missing. The emperor would definitely order people to look for it everywhere, and she would have time to secretly prepare a live fish. If it was found by the right person at the right place, she could use it as a replacement.

"Will it be discovered?" Mu Tianzhao hesitated. He was about to become the crown prince, and he didn't want to make any mistakes.

"What are you afraid of?" Qiu sneered, "It's just a fish for stewing soup. They all look the same. King Jing himself might not recognize it."

Qiu was so determined that she dared to carry out this plan. Otherwise, was she waiting for King Jing to make trouble for her? Qiu

took another look at the fish floating on the water with its belly turned upside down. The fish had to be hidden well and no one could find it. So it was safest to hide it in her sleeves. No one would dare to search the body of a noble concubine!

Qiu suppressed her nausea and wrapped her fingers with a handkerchief to catch the fish. Just as she caught the fish, the tip of the fish's tail, which had been motionless, shook and struggled desperately.

Qiu and the Second Prince: !!!

Mu Tianzhao was stunned: "Mother, isn't this fish dead?"

How could a fish come back to life? This is too strange!

Qiu couldn't think about it anymore, and she couldn't care less to talk to the Second Prince. Although the fish was wrapped in a handkerchief, it was still very slippery, and now it was moving violently. If she accidentally dropped the fish on the ground, it would be in front of the Emperor of the Qianqing Palace...

Since she had taken this step, she couldn't turn back!

Qiu was sweating. She was a woman who had been pampered for a long time and had no strength in her hands. Li Yu was good at fighting with the tossing stick. This time, he was even more exaggerated. With a powerful tail, he easily escaped from control.

At this time, the small carp was closest to Qiu!

Li Yu had swung his tail several times and had some experience. He calculated the approximate distance and swung his tail neatly. He originally wanted to fly over and jump onto the imperial concubine to scare her, and then take the night pearl off in the chaos. Of course, if he accidentally failed to roll to the ground, he would shake his tail and jump a few more times, trying to jump back into the sea bowl. The sea bowl was very close to him, and it was not a big problem to leave the water at this moment, and there was enough clean water hidden in his space.

But he didn't expect that he used too much force, and he broke a new record with a somersault, and jumped onto the face of the imperial concubine.

Li Yu:!!!

Qiu suddenly felt a chill on her face, and King Jing's fish was flying towards her face! The imperial concubine's

eyes went dark, and she screamed in fear: "Ah——"

When she screamed, Li Yu also panicked. After all, this was the first time he climbed onto another person's body... face with his fish body. His tail twitched subconsciously, and he slapped the imperial concubine several times!

The second prince was stunned, and came back to his senses in a series of crisp slaps. He shouted, "Mother, mother, come quickly, save my mother."

"Quick, Zhao'er, help me take it down, it's on my face, it's on my face!!" Qiu's eyes were blocked, and she was frightened and screamed.

Mu Tianzhao wanted to help, but stopped halfway. He was afraid that the fish would fly onto him, and he couldn't explain it!

In the chaos, Li Yu took the opportunity to find a suitable position and swung his tail towards the bright pearl again. This time he carefully controlled the strength and hit the golden step-shake. The pearl rolled off the golden step-shake as he wished.

Concubine Qiu had put so much thought into her gait and used this priceless night-shining pearl in order to attract the emperor's attention at night. However, at this moment, Concubine Qiu was so frightened that she had no time to care about her hair ornaments.

Li Yu tried to scratch his fins a few times, but he couldn't reach the fallen night-shining pearl. The pearl was about to fall on the golden brick.

With the pearl, he could have the medicine to restore his human form. He risked his life!

Li Yu also jumped over to grab the pearl.

The emperor was drinking tea and waiting for King Jing in his room. Suddenly, he heard Concubine Qiu and the second prince yelling. He didn't know what happened. The emperor brought Luo, the chief steward, and hurried over. This was the scene he saw: Concubine Qiu's hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her hands were scratching around. The second prince stood aside, at a loss.

The emperor did not see Li Yu, the little carp was chasing the pearl on the ground, and in this situation, the emperor must have noticed the concubine and her son first.

"What's going on!" The emperor was furious.

Li Yu could not reach the night pearl. Seeing the pearl rolling after falling to the ground, he wanted to reach it, but - he could not reach it. A hand appeared above him.

This hand held him down when he was about to reach the pearl, but made him miss the night pearl.

Who disturbed him from doing his mission?

Li Yu raised his head angrily and met the angry face of King Jing.

It's over, it's over. He was having fun but was caught by the tyrant who had just changed his clothes.

Li Yu blew a bubble in a daze, wanting to hide and deny it, but he was in the palm of King Jing's hand, where else could he hide?

Just now, he whipped Qiu and snatched the night pearl. I don't know if King Jing saw it. He - in King Jing's eyes, he must have done something wrong, but he was not playing around. Qiu would definitely complain to the emperor. As long as he returned to the bowl before the emperor found him, the emperor would not believe Qiu's words. After all, how could a fish jump out of the bowl, tease Qiu, and then jump back?

Yes, I have to go back. It's so uncomfortable without water. I have to think about how to get back to the bowl from King Jing's hand without anyone noticing. But this is more difficult than scheming against Qiu. King Jing is not easy to fool. I have to be very careful...

Li Yu is still thinking wildly, but King Jing, who is not easy to fool, has already lifted him up and gently put him into the water.

Suddenly, he was moved back to the bowl, surrounded by water: !!!

Ah, the tyrant actually put him back!

Li Yu quickly twisted his body to please him, and King Jing glared at him again. The frightened little carp read the following dangerous meaning from the tyrant's eyes:

I will settle the score with you later.

Li Yu: "..."

No, is it because he didn't act up before that he wanted to settle the score later?

He didn't want to be made into fish soup, and he didn't want to die, so he might as well let the tyrant pinch him a few times. Li Yu was particularly servile and used his back to push King Jing's hand. Would it be okay for him to be pinched a few times to make up for it?

King Jing: "..."

"Your Majesty, please help me. I don't know why the fish raised by King Jing jumped onto my face..."

Qiu was still in shock and knelt down in front of the emperor crying. She hated King Jing to death. Did she fall into King Jing's trap? Maybe the fish came back to life just to trick her and make her lose face in front of the emperor!

After experiencing the panic just now, Qiu had completely lost her composure and everything seemed like a frame-up.

The emperor rubbed his forehead and looked at King Jing in confusion. King Jing sneered and his chin was not far from the bowl.

When he put the carp back, he also made sure that no one was paying attention. Since Qiu had hired someone to slander him, he should let Qiu taste the taste of being unable to defend himself.

King Jing glanced at the carp and thought that this little fish was very interesting. It actually helped him break out of this trap. It was a natural opportunity.

The emperor ordered Luo Ruisheng to check and saw that King Jing's fish was still swimming happily in the bowl.

The emperor was really angry this time: "Your Highness, you lied with your eyes open. The fish of King Jing is still in the bowl!" Qiu's

blood boiled, and she was angry and anxious: "Your Majesty, it's true, the fish just flew out!"

The emperor frowned: "You mean, it's a fish, it can fly, it flew out to bully you, and then flew back?"

This fish is a shadow to Qiu. Qiu nodded repeatedly: "It's true, Zhao'er saw it."

"Your Highness, are you crazy?"

The emperor sighed, with a look of disbelief. Qiu was fine at first, but suddenly she became troubled and lied. How could the fish fly?

If she wasn't crazy, how could she talk nonsense and mess up her hair?

"It's fine if you talk nonsense yourself, but are you going to drag Tianzhao into talking nonsense with you?"

Mu Tianzhao was originally planning to help Qiu, but he choked when he heard that. Qiu winked at him. Mu Tianzhao thought that the emperor didn't believe him at all at the moment, and if he tried to help Qiu, he might make the emperor unhappy, so why bother to show off his courage? Mu

Tianzhao would give up everything for the position of crown prince, and immediately said sensibly: "Father taught me that, but I... didn't see it clearly."

Qiu looked at his son in disbelief, and Mu Tianzhao looked away guiltily. He was going to be the crown prince, so what was wrong with wanting to protect himself?

The emperor said unhappily, "My noble concubine, even Tian Zhao is like this, what else can you say?"

"Your Majesty, it's...I am a concubine who is insane. I have spoken out of turn. Please forgive me."

Qiu bit her lips with hatred. Her own son didn't help her, what else could she say? She was confused for a moment. The emperor didn't believe her. It was useless for her to complain. The best thing to do now was to bow her head temporarily and let the emperor calm down. There was no need to fight a fish at this time. Just

when Qiu was aggrieved and admitted her fault, King Jing's cloud-climbing boots stepped on an embroidered handkerchief. Wang Xi, who had been following King Jing, rushed forward and leaned over to pick up the handkerchief.

Because he didn't know who the handkerchief belonged to, Wang Xi deliberately shook the handkerchief open and took a look, and exclaimed "Ouch".

"Wang Xi, what's wrong with you?" The emperor was confused by all these things.

Wang Xi said, "Your Majesty, I seem to have picked up... the handkerchief of the imperial concubine. Why is there fish scales on it?"

Wang Xi raised the handkerchief as he spoke so that everyone could see it.

The handkerchief embroidered with crabapples, even the emperor remembered, was used by the imperial concubine. As Wang Xi said, there were indeed a few fish scales on the handkerchief.

How could there be fish scales on the imperial concubine's handkerchief, and there was only one fish in the Qianqing Palace at this time!

King Jing glared at Concubine Gui with a sharp look. Wang Xi took advantage of the situation and said for King Jing: "Fish scales grow on fish and will not fall off easily. Could it be that Concubine Gui did something to my fish master while Your Highness was away?"

Poof! Eunuch Wang is worthy of being King Jing's spokesperson, and he is very capable. Li Yu was very happy. He was just a fish, how could he become a master?

What master? The emperor was stunned.

Wang Xi explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, I heard from Xiao Linzi that the cat raised by Concubine Gui is called cat master. Then I think that the fish raised by Your Highness is also fish master."

The emperor is the master of the world and the legitimate master of everyone, but Concubine Gui actually let people call a cat she raised a master. Is this putting the cat and the emperor together?

"Nonsense, don't make such noises again." The emperor glared at Qiu with dissatisfaction: "Qiu, what did you do to King Jing's fish? Why did the fish scales appear on your handkerchief?"

Qiu Guifei knew, because she was the one who caught fish with the handkerchief, but she could never admit it.

Since she came here to watch fish, the situation that was originally very favorable to her has been reversed unconsciously. This fish must have a grudge against her. How could she have done anything to the fish? It was clearly the fish that abused her!

Qiu sobbed and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Prince Jing? It was Prince Jing who abused my concubine Piaoxue first..."

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Xi knelt down regardless of everything and said loudly, "My prince cannot speak, but is framed for nothing. You know that the scars on his body since he was a child are not easy to heal. The entire Imperial Hospital knows it. When he was changing clothes just now, I saw bruises on his legs, and the position was consistent with the size of the cat. It was the cat of the Concubine that hit your prince first that day, and your prince taught him a lesson. I beg your majesty to do the same for your prince!"

Bruises caused by a cat?

Qiu's pupils shrank dramatically. Why didn't she think that Prince Jing had this scar on his body?

The emperor was very upset when he learned that King Jing was "injured". He immediately summoned the imperial physician to "treat" King Jing. When he learned from the imperial physician that there were indeed bruises, the emperor was furious: "It's just a cat, but it dared to bump into my prince. It really deserves to be taught a lesson."

Since it was the cat that took the initiative to bump into King Jing, it meant that Xiao Linzi was not telling the truth. Later, it was found out that Xiao Linzi was bribed by the imperial concubine. The Qianqing Palace was in a bloody storm.

The emperor was furious. He hadn't even appointed a prince yet, and Qiu dared to frame King Jing. If he became the queen mother in the future, would King Jing still have a way to live?

The emperor punished Qiu and confined her to Zhongcui Palace, and she was not allowed to come out without an imperial decree. He had originally planned to promote Qiu to the imperial concubine shortly after her birthday, but now he was not in the mood. The emperor and the future crown prince and second prince were no longer happy with him.

Qiu had never thought that his elaborate plan would end up like this because of a fish.

Li Yu had done a great job this time. He felt a little sleepy after hearing the noise outside. He remembered that there were two fish food left at the bottom of the bowl. Li Yu cheered up, swam over and ate the fish food. Just when he wanted to take a nap, he felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

...Wait, the bright pearl, I almost forgot about it!

Li Yu quickly jumped to the surface of the water and looked around.

He found it. The pearl was standing alone in a corner of the palace. No one had noticed that the night-shining pearl on the concubine's head was gone.

Li Yu was eager to try, wanting to sneak out again and take the pearl away. Even if he couldn't take it away, at least he could get a little bit of it. Maybe the mission would be accomplished.

Wang Xi came over at this time, picked up the bowl he was in with a smile, and walked out of the palace.

Li Yu: ???

It turned out that the emperor was still scolding Qiu. King Jing couldn't bear to listen any more, so he stood up and left. The little carp that accompanied King Jing to see the emperor should naturally be taken back.

Li Yu: "Hey, are you kidding me? The pearl is not taken away yet..."

Wang Xi was about to leave the palace with the bowl, and saw the little carp clinging to the edge of the bowl, staring at a certain direction reluctantly.

Wang Xi almost laughed out loud, shook his head, and thought he was thinking too much.

Li Yu saw that the bead was getting farther and farther away from him. He was afraid that this mission could not be completed. Li Yu was sad and a little depressed.

King Jing was standing by and saw that Xiao Liyu was listless. King Jing thought for a moment in that direction and pointed to an attendant to check. The attendant quickly brought a bead.

King Jing recognized that this was the night-shining pearl worn on Concubine Qiu Guifei's head. He was sure that Xiao Liyu was looking at this bead, because when he changed his clothes and left the side hall, he saw Xiao Liyu chasing the bead.

So you want this bead so much?

"Master, master, please give me the bead!"

Li Yu immediately became energetic, came over and shook in a flattering way, and circled around King Jing's hand, as flattering as he could be.

King Jing: "..."

There is still a bill to be settled. You want to twist the pearl twice and it's done? It's not that easy.
