Li Yu wanted the other party to take Dabao over, but the other party couldn't make Dabao appear, and kept persuading Li Yu to go over by himself.
Li Yu was more certain that this was a trap, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
He analyzed quickly in his mind that the children were not in danger. He and King Jing were now trapped in the palace and were temporarily separated. Judging from the fact that the other party kept deceiving him in the name of Dabao, the other party did not intend to completely break up with him, and was trying to find a way to make him completely get rid of the guards left by King Jing and leave alone.
Maybe the existence of these guards makes the other party jealous. Li Yu intuitively feels that this mysterious force may not be able to control the entire palace at will, so these people only dare to use deception and dare not directly confront King Jing's guards.
But if he is fooled, he might be caught and threaten King Jing...
Now, can he only wait?
King Jing went to the Qianqing Palace alone. Although he has the aura of the male protagonist, Li Yu is still very worried.
If he can think of a way to spread the news for King Jing and inform Ye Qinghuan and others, maybe the old Cheng Engong can find a way to enter the palace. Even if he can't, it will be okay to cause some trouble to the mysterious force on the opposite side.
But he is now left in Qianqiu Palace, and there are many guards outside. How can he pass the news out?
Li Yu thought about it. Since the opponent was still trying to deceive him, he might as well take advantage of the opponent's trick and use the opponent's hand to escape and inform the other party. The opponent would definitely not expect it!
As for how to borrow...
there is still a small cotton shirt in his stomach. Li Yu is not very brave and does not know if it will work.
"Host." The system interrupted at this time and gave a prompt: "The main line task 'Tyrants and the Country' is in progress. The strength of the fish scales has doubled, which can form an effective protection. Please pay attention to safety, host."
Li Yu: "..."
The system gave a prompt at this time, and the attributes were doubled. Originally, his fish scales were very hard, and he would not be injured even if he broke through the crystal bottle. If it doubled again, it should not be a big problem with the small cotton shirt! And it can also form a protection!
The system that tricks fish can trick him again, but it is still more reliable at critical moments. Not to be missed, Li Yu decided to trust the system and himself, and said to the eunuch decisively: "Dabao is crying loudly, but I can't leave for the time being. I am really worried. But I brought a pet fish from the mansion. Dabao likes this fish the most. If you bring the fish over, he might be obedient."
The eunuch never expected that Princess Jing would be so difficult to talk to. Not only did she refuse to go with him, but she also asked him to send the fish. The eunuch hesitated and did not dare to agree rashly, for fear that Princess Jing was lying.
Li Yu pretended not to notice his confusion, and smiled and said, "This fish is also the apple of your eye, so be careful."
King Jing was famous for his love of raising fish in the imperial city. The eunuch had also heard that if the fish pet fell into his hands, he might be able to use it to force King Jing to submit in the future. The eunuch nodded and agreed to "send the fish." Li
Yu immediately said that he would pack up and return to the palace. He whispered a few words to the guards beside him and asked the guards to wait outside the door.
Not long after, the door opened, and the guards were ordered to go in and hold out a large crystal bottle. A koi with silver and gold was swimming happily in the bottle.
The guard came over with the crystal bottle and told the eunuch that this was the fish that the princess wanted to send to the young prince.
The eunuch took the bottle, glanced at it, and did not allow the guards to follow him. He took the crystal bottle and left.
The young prince of King Jing was not in the palace at all. It was impossible to send it to the young prince, nor to the Qianqing Palace. It would be better to detain the fish first and then deal with it.
Li Yu knew that the eunuch must be dishonest. There were many places with water in the palace. He originally thought that if he got closer to the water, he would break the crystal bottle and take the opportunity to jump into the water. As long as he entered the water, he could swim away. Why was he afraid of these people!
Li Yu quietly waited for the opportunity in the crystal bottle. Suddenly, a man came towards him and stopped the eunuch with suspicious behavior.
"Wait, what is in your hand?" the man asked.
The eunuch saluted and called out, "Sixth Prince."
Li Yu: !!!
Li Yu was shocked. Where did the Sixth Prince come from in the palace at this time?
Li Yu turned around and swam closer to the crystal wall. As expected, he saw Mu Tianxiao's face with scars still on.
The Sixth Prince had once assassinated the emperor. From the emperor's perspective, he would never forgive the Sixth Prince. However, the Sixth Prince had escaped from the prison and was able to walk around the palace. This showed that the emperor was definitely in a state of being unable to control himself. Moreover, the forces related to Loulan were indeed related to the Sixth Prince who had been released.
No matter how impossible he thought it was before, the Sixth Prince's appearance here was a conclusion.
The Sixth Prince...what did he want to do? Li Yu looked at this man nervously.
Mu Tianxiao admired the fish in the crystal bottle for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is this King Jing's fish?"
The eunuch nodded.
Mu Tianxiao no longer had to pretend to be good-tempered, and smiled cruelly: "I'll take it over."
Mu Tianxiao snatched the crystal bottle without saying anything.
His cold gaze fell on Li Yu, and Li Yu froze.
He knew that the Sixth Prince had asked about the fish several times, would he be suspicious of the fish?
He had to pretend to be a stupid fish as soon as possible! A stupid fish couldn't understand what the Sixth Prince said, let alone feel afraid.
Li Yu gritted his teeth and faced the Sixth Prince's inquiring eyes, still swimming around in the crystal bottle foolishly.
Mu Tianxiao couldn't see anything unusual, but an idea came to his mind. He picked up the crystal bottle and strode towards the Qianqing Palace.
Li Yu: “…”
Oh, fish can’t control their lives, so I have to change my battle plan and reunite with my old gong!
Li Yu’s old gong, Prince Jing, has been sitting in the Qianqing Palace for a stick of incense.
He hasn’t been able to see the emperor yet. The concubines are all there, as are the seventh and eighth princes. Although there are many people, no one talks. They only sit with people they are familiar with, looking at each other uneasily.
Prince Jing has a cold temperament and has no close friends.
“Fifth brother, can I sit next to you?” The eighth prince walked over eagerly.
After experiencing a disaster in the hunting field, the eighth prince felt that it was safest to be next to Prince Jing.
Prince Jing smiled faintly and nodded for him to sit.
After a while, the seventh prince came running over and sat next to the eighth prince.
There was a noise in the inner hall, and a eunuch said, "The emperor is here!"
King Jing concentrated, and soon the emperor came out surrounded by a group of eunuchs.
King Jing looked very carefully and found that the emperor's face was pale and he was not in a good spirit. Concubine Zhang was standing not far from the emperor, and behind Concubine Zhang was Noblewoman Chu.
The emperor seemed to be really seriously ill. He needed help to walk a few steps and was panting.
The emperor quickly sat in the dragon chair, and the eunuch handed the brewed tea to the emperor.
The emperor waved his hands a little impatiently and did not take it.
The eunuch put the tea on the table in front of the emperor and stepped aside.
Not long after, Concubine Zhang came over, still holding the cup of tea, and personally handed it to the emperor's lips.
The emperor drank some tea this time, and Concubine Zhang called for a cloth towel and carefully wiped the water stains that accidentally fell on the dragon robe for the emperor.
Chu Yanyu and Noblewoman Chu, then brought a soft pillow and placed it behind the emperor's waist.
The concubines present all realized that this was probably the lineage of Concubine Zhang who had risen to the throne and had been favored by the emperor. Noble Chu was originally recommended by Concubine Zhang and the Sixth Prince, and was in the same group as them, so it was natural that she would rise to the throne with them.
However, the Sixth Prince had already been thrown into prison, and Concubine Zhang was usually a quail. What tricks did she use to make even a quail be favored?
When King Jing saw Concubine Zhang and Chu Yanyu accompanying the emperor, he realized that something was wrong.
The emperor also noticed King Jing, his eyes moved, and his lips moved.
But Concubine Zhang smiled lightly, and the light in the emperor's eyes dimmed immediately, and he nodded indifferently to King Jing.
The emperor's expression changed slightly, and King Jing saw it all. He understood that the emperor was probably jealous of Concubine Zhang. After not seeing the emperor for a few days, Concubine Zhang suddenly "gained favor", which made people suspicious.
"Tianchi, you are here too." said the emperor.
Because Prince Jing had a private appointment with the emperor, it was inconvenient to reveal that his muteness had healed. As usual, he saluted the emperor without saying a word.
The emperor was a little surprised when he first saw him, which showed that the imperial edict was not the emperor's intention.
In addition, there were many more guards and eunuchs inside and outside the Qianqing Palace than usual, and Luo, the chief steward, was still missing.
Prince Jing quietly memorized the distribution of the guards in the palace, which might come in handy in an emergency.
The emperor glanced at Zhang and said to a nearby eunuch, "Go and invite the Sixth Prince. I have something to announce."
The eunuch verbally agreed, but looked at Concubine Zhang. Zhang smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing is here, how can Marquis An and Marquis Ping be missing?"
Marquis An and Marquis Ping had actually been invited into the palace in advance like King Jing, and had been staying in the side hall.
The emperor immediately changed his words and said, "Well, go and invite Marquis An and Marquis Ping over. I have something to announce."
The concubines looked at each other when they heard this conversation. With the addition of the two marquises, all the princes were here. What news was the emperor going to announce?
Marquis An and Marquis Ping entered the palace one after another. Marquis An was still confused, and the eunuch helped him to a slightly farther position. Marquis Ping had been out of favor for a long time, and finally waited for the emperor to summon him, so he hurried to the emperor.
"Father is not feeling well. If you need me to do anything, I will do it for you."
Ping Hou wanted to show his heart to the emperor.
"Tianming, go sit over there with An Hou." The emperor rubbed his brows and pushed Ping Hou a little further away.
Seeing that his hope of recovery was dashed again, Ping Hou accepted the order awkwardly.
"Go and invite the Sixth Prince." The emperor said again.
This time, Concubine Zhang also nodded. The eunuch went quickly and came back soon. He said that he saw the Sixth Prince rushing over halfway.
Mu Tianxiao entered the palace. He had changed his dirty clothes in prison. Although there were still wounds on his face, he could not hide his pride in his every move.
When entering the palace, the Sixth Prince deliberately looked at King Jing with an aggressive look.
King Jing looked at him and watched him walk to the emperor with no expression on his face.
Mu Tianxiao didn't bother to pretend to be an emperor at this moment, and casually bowed his hand.
Without waiting for the emperor to give him a seat, he found a seat nearby and sat down.
The emperor looked at him coldly but did not stop him.
How could the Sixth Prince be so rampant in front of the Emperor, and how could the Emperor forgive the Sixth Prince?
King Jing had already guessed that it was Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang's aura was completely different. Judging from the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Zhang, it seemed that Concubine Zhang had held the emperor hostage, so the Sixth Prince naturally had no problem.
Many concubines also guessed it one after another. They had never seen such a scene before, and they were all frightened, and they did not dare to say anything easily.
"Brother Five Emperors, long time no see, how about I give you a greeting gift?" The Sixth Prince challenged King Jing with a smile.
Several eunuchs responded and came in, holding something in their hands.
Even King Jing, who had managed to calm down in the face of danger, was a little surprised when he saw this thing.
The eunuchs were holding a crystal bottle, and in the crystal bottle was a koi with a silver bottom and a golden hue.
The fish was originally wagging its tail, and after seeing King Jing, it wagged its tail especially vigorously.
