Chapter 109



Luo said: "That's right. The reason why the emperor sealed that place was because he didn't want Empress Xiaohui, who was already in a very bad condition at the time, to be upset again after seeing it."

It turned out that the emperor was thinking about the late empress...

He had originally thought that the palace in his memory was the sealed one. Since this was Pu Liu's residence, then Pu Liu should be the woman he saw in his memory.

This wet nurse was driven out of the palace, and even her residence had to be sealed. It can be seen that a big mistake was made.

There are many secrets in the royal family, and I don't know if I can find out, but it should be okay to just ask Luo privately, right?

Li Yu asked tentatively, "Eunuch Luo, I wonder what specific mistakes Pu Liu made?"

Steward Luo was silent for a moment, then said, "It happened many years ago. If the princess wants to know, you can tell her. This wet nurse was found to have not taken good care of the little prince, causing the newly born Prince Jing to catch a cold. The Queen Xiaohui was very angry, but considering that she was also the wet nurse of the late eldest and fourth princes, and had no merits but had worked hard, the Queen Xiaohui was kind-hearted and just kicked her out of the palace."

Li Yu: "What?!"

Why was it completely different from what he thought? Li Yu thought the mistake the wet nurse made was related to the bag of medicine powder she had swallowed, but that was it? ?

"She did it because she didn't take good care of Prince Jing..."

Steward Luo nodded and said, "Because it happened before Empress Xiaohui passed away, I remember it very clearly. His Royal Highness Prince Jing was born weak and...cannot speak. The imperial physician had always told him to take good care of himself, but this wet nurse opened the window in His Royal Highness Prince Jing's room a little and forgot to close it. It was cold at the time, and His Royal Highness Prince Jing fell ill soon after. Empress Xiaohui was already in poor health at that time, and she was busy taking care of the little prince, so her health became worse. "

Li Yu was stunned: "So...that's what happened in that palace?"

Pu Liu was originally punished and expelled from the palace because she did not take good care of the young Prince Jing, but in his memory, Pu Liu would sew toys for Prince Jing by herself, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Prince Jing several times.

Li Yu is a person who has Yu's son, and he can feel that Pu Liu's love for Prince Jing is not fake.

A person's personality will not change easily. Pu Liu, who had been the wet nurse of the eldest and fourth princes, must not be a clumsy person. She should be very clear about what to do and what not to do. Why did she make such a low-level mistake when she came to King Jing?

Moreover, if the window was really open, it would not be cold for a while. The window is a distance from the bed. Children are usually wrapped in swaddling clothes. If they are cold, they must have been exposed to the cold wind for a long time. Even if Pu Liu forgot to close the window carelessly, didn't she find it later?

It feels that what Pu Liu did is somewhat contradictory to her love for King Jing.

However, what does this have to do with the powder?

Li Yu's mind was in a mess. He kept pursuing this secret. It couldn't be that this secret had no practical significance at all. It was just a scene that King Jing saw when he was a child. The wet nurse Pu Liu had a quarrel with someone and was driven out of the palace shortly afterwards.

Li Yu thought of another question: "Since Pu Liu had been King Jing's wet nurse, why can't we find her in the list of Changchun Palace?"

"What?" Luo, the chief steward, didn't expect him to say that. He was stunned and said, "Impossible, how could she not be in the list?"

Li Yu was also surprised. He euphemistically mentioned the loss of the list. Luo, the chief steward's reaction didn't seem to be false. This meant that even Luo, the chief steward, didn't know that the list of Changchun Palace had been lost, and Pu Liu's name would not have been erased by the emperor's order.

This is even more strange. Even if someone is expelled from the palace, they would usually leave a trace. Why can't we find even a single word about Pu Liu? If the cloth tiger she made had not been torn to pieces by the children, Li Yu might never have known about the existence of Pu Liu.

Since being expelled from the palace, it was as if this person had never existed.

Manager Luo answered many of Li Yu's questions. Although there were still some strange points, Li Yu did not want to pursue them further. After all, it was a bit of an exaggeration.

Pu Liu was only expelled from the palace, and the sealed palace was not a crime scene.

Yes, Pu Liu is not dead, she is still alive in the world. If Li Yu wants to know more, why not just go find Pu Liu and ask her?

But is it necessary to get to the bottom of an old matter that has long been settled?

If he really found it, how would he tell the other party how he "saw" and "knew" that Pu Liu swallowed a packet of powder?

Maybe it was just medicine for treating discomfort?

Not every secret is beautiful. Even if this secret may not be what he thought, there is no need to be too disappointed.

Li Yu finally asked: "Eunuch Luo, where did Pu Liu go after being driven out?"

Luo Ruisheng said: "I heard that she went back to her hometown."

Li Yu still asked Luo Zongguan to help him find the address of Pu Liu's hometown. If a woman leaves the palace, she usually returns to her hometown.

If there are any new discoveries later, we will talk about it later.

Luo Zongguan took his leave, and King Jing and Li Yu also returned to the palace with the children.

Due to the sudden situation in Changchun Palace, Li Yu decided to start training a few treasures.

"Remember, you must not let anyone know that you were fish." Li Yu said to the children.

This is too important. Think about it, King Jing spent so much effort to cover up for them, but the fish cubs almost got killed because of a box of fish food. It's too much of a loss.

Li Yu was still frightened and thought that the children should know how to protect themselves.

Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao didn't quite understand. It was so good to be a fish. Why couldn't they say that they were fish cubs?

Li Yu was looked at by the children with pairs of star-like shining eyes, and he felt a little reluctant.

He could understand his parents' feelings more and more.

The fish cubs were protected too well by King Jing and him, but they would eventually have to face the day alone. It is necessary to let the innocent fish cubs understand the evil of human hearts as soon as possible.

The young fish father said seriously: "Only you and your two fathers know about being a fish. You must not tell anyone else, because other people can't turn into fish like us. If they find out, they will do many terrible things to you."

Erbao tilted his head: Terrible?

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu said: "Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao will be locked up as strange people, and you will not be allowed to eat or see your father." Dabao, Erbao

, and Sanbao sat up straight and nodded their heads wildly. They would be locked up, have no food, and not be able to see the fish father. It was too terrible.

Li Yu was very satisfied with their reaction. In addition to not letting the fish cubs' identities leak out, they also had to prevent them from being easily fooled by bad people.

This other point, Li Yu was deeply touched.

Li Yu combined his own experience and said earnestly: "What if Daddy has something and can't be with you, and someone calls you in Daddy's name... then it is very likely that they are lying to you, and you must not pay attention to them."

Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao: "..."

Fish life is too difficult. What does it mean that Daddy is not around and others call you in Daddy's name?

The fish cubs don't quite understand.

Li Yu said: "Anyway, remember Daddy's words first. Unless Daddy says you can believe it, ignore it."

Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao understood this sentence and nodded.

Sibao held his chin with his hand, nodded his head, and then slid down.

"Sibao." Li Yu smiled and woke the fish cub, "Remember what Daddy just said, copy it ten times."

Sibao: !!!

Sibao felt wronged and trembled: Oh, I accidentally made Fish Dad angry. Fish Dad's face is so scary, but he can't write yet!

With the help of Dabao, Sibao pasted a whole page of rice, held it in his little claws, and handed it to Fish Dad.

Fish Dad now knew what Dabao's rice meant, and every time he saw it, he wanted to smile gently, but when he saw Sibao's rice, Fish Dad wanted to beat him.

Never allow any fish cub to be confused in this regard, Li Yu gave him instructions whenever he had time, and finally made Sibao, who was a beat slower in reaction, remember Fish Dad's words.

Soon, it was the hundredth day since the birth of Princess Qinghe, the daughter of Prince Ye and Princess Jin Jue. Ye Qinghuan held a banquet at the Cheng En Mansion. Li Yu had agreed to take the children and a nest of fish to the party. He planned to congratulate them first, and then after meeting the princess and the prince, he could not bear it anymore and then changed into a fish. By then, he would be a real fish, and the small fish beside him would be fish pillows. It would be difficult to tell the real from the fake. King Jing would be responsible for covering up his human form, and still say that he would return home early.

This was also an old rule, and King Jing did not object. Before leaving, Li Yu strung the fish pillows together and was about to put them in a crystal bottle, but King Jing already had another bottle that was exactly the same in his hand.

Li Yu felt strange and looked at the bottle in King Jing's hand. There was a koi fish in it that looked very similar to him, with a silver bottom and gold, and very similar in size to him.

How could another fish live in the territory that should belong to him?

Li Yu's heart was alarmed, but King Jing put the crystal bottle in his hand. Then he took out a slightly smaller bottle from his sleeve and poured several smaller fish in the bottle into it.

Li Yu found that the colors of these fish were very close to those of the fish cubs.

Why did King Jing have other fish that looked so similar to him and the fish cubs?

Li Yu thought slowly and came to his senses. This is... a substitute that King Jing prepared for him and the fish cubs.

It is not convenient to always carry a fish pillow with you when you go out, as you need to be on guard all the time to see if it will be discovered.

But if you bring a live fish, it is a substitute that looks very similar to him and the fish cubs, so what is there to worry about?

Li Yu quickly took the crystal bottle and carefully examined the fish.

There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, and naturally there are no two fish that are exactly the same.

The larger substitute has a pattern similar to his, and the golden scales are sparser than his. If the two fish are placed together, it is still easy to find the difference. But if it is just this one fish, it is almost impossible to tell it apart unless you are particularly close to it.

Ye Qinghuan and Princess Jin Jue mostly observe the fish through the fish tank and the crystal bottle, and they are not too familiar with the fish, so this substitute can always cover it up. It is estimated that this will not work if it is King Jing.

With a substitute, he doesn't have to turn into a fish specifically - he can turn into a fish to save the situation, but the fish can't turn into a fish before they are seven years old. Wang Xi has grumbled several times, saying that the little fish in the fish tank often keep the same posture and fall asleep collectively. Li Yu fooled around and thought that Eunuch Wang was a little suspicious. King Jing's move solved this problem that was bothering him.

Li Yu was very happy: "Your Highness must have spent a lot of effort to find these fish."

Even he himself felt that they looked like fish, so it must have been very difficult.

King Jing shook his head. He didn't have much effort, but he started looking after the little fish told him about their identities. He searched for more than a year, and later he also put the search for substitutes for the little fish on the agenda.

The people in charge of this matter said that it was something that could only be found by chance, but King Jing thought that as long as he cast a wide net and kept looking, he would definitely find it.

Li Yu held the bottle proudly and blew a kiss to King Jing, thinking that he had been jealous of himself before. Well, it was indeed a bit confusing, but now there were a few more fish substitutes, not the real him. Did King Jing still have to treat the fish substitutes as pets in front of outsiders?

This alone might not be enough. Did he still have to rub the fish?
