King Jing was in a state of panic. He didn't know why Xiaoyu fell into the hands of the Sixth Prince, but he must take Xiaoyu back as soon as possible and rescue the emperor.

King Jing had previously paid attention to the distribution of guards in the palace, and now he had an idea.

"...I know Brother Wuhuang cares about this fish very much and wants to take it back. I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Mu Tianxiao played with the gold chain on the crystal bottle and chuckled like a winner. , the king of sight.

"However, since Fifth Brother had helped me when I was in prison, I am willing to help Fifth Brother. If Fifth Brother can bear all the suffering I have endured in prison, I will give it back to my fifth brother. "

The sixth prince grinned, as if he was moved by his own sincerity.

King Jing: "..."

Li Yu also Li Yu was very angry after hearing the Sixth Prince's words. Unfortunately, the fish fins were too short to point out the problem. The idiot Mu Tianxiao actually used him to threaten his old gong. Li Yu was afraid that King Jing would be upset. I will really do what the Sixth Prince says.

Ying, he doesn't want the old man to be wronged, and people like the Sixth Prince must not be trusted!

No, Yu must save the old man!

Li Yu lowered his body and pointed his tail at the Sixth Prince.

"Heaven knows, it's just a fish, why do you have to embarrass him?"

The Emperor couldn't bear it any longer and scolded the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Prince didn't even raise his head and retorted: "Father also said that this is just a fish. If Fifth Prince ignores me, what can I do to him? Father, I know you are partial to me and you are reluctant to let him suffer even this little grievance?"

The emperor was angry with the Sixth Prince . With such an attitude, and fearing that he might bring trouble to King Jing, he had no choice but to shut up.

The Sixth Prince looked at King Jing leisurely again and said, "Fifth Brother, please hurry up. If I'm not in a good mood, I might change my mind."

King Jing had already made up his mind. The emperor was threatened by Concubine Zhang, and the Sixth Prince threatened him with Xiaoyu. King Jing pursed his lips, his eyes were cold, he stretched his hands to the hem of his clothes, and slightly bent his knees.

This action looked like he was about to kneel down, and the Sixth Prince was extremely proud and shouted in joy. Because the King of Jing usually wouldn't let him look at the fish in the crystal bottle for more than a second, the Sixth Prince, with the intention of deliberately provoking the King of Jing, He opened the bottle cap and touched the soft tail of the fish with his fingers.

He wanted King Jing to experience firsthand that everything was under his control. Even King Jing's favorite pet fish had to listen to him. He loved it. Whatever happens.

However, just as his fingers were about to touch the fish, something strange happened. The fish jumped hard and broke through the crystal bottle. The Sixth Prince watched the fish fly away and then remembered that this scene seemed familiar. But it was too late. The silver light was wrapped in a strong wind. Before the Sixth Prince could react, his cheek was slapped by something as hard as iron. Stars flashed in front of his eyes!

The Sixth Prince covered his mouth in shock. When he looked at King Jing's face, he could see clearly that this was King Jing's fish. Not only did it break out of the crystal bottle unexpectedly, but it also slapped him fiercely - with its seemingly harmless and soft tail!

After the first flap, the fish did not stop, but still swam in the air. Taking advantage of the Sixth Prince's distraction, the fish flapped again with lightning speed!

The Qianqing Palace was originally very quiet, There were two consecutive "slap" sounds, and the Sixth Prince's cheek immediately swelled up visibly.

Everyone present heard and saw that the Sixth Prince was slapped by a fish for some reason. Concubine Zhang frowned, and the Emperor He tried his best to control himself and not let the corners of his mouth rise.

An Hou, who was a little further away, also saw it. An Hou's not very clear mind had some impression of this scene, and he actually applauded and laughed, saying, "Well done, well done!" "

Just as the Sixth Prince was about to rant, a figure flashed before his eyes, and the Sixth Prince secretly thought that something was not good. It turned out that when the fish broke out of the bottle, King Jing pulled out a sharp dagger from his boot and stabbed several nearby guards in succession. The Sixth Prince was still immersed in the anger and disbelief of being slapped by a fish. The king had put the dagger on his neck.

This was the skill of King Jing. In front of the public, he was controlled by King Jing.

"You...what do you want to do?" Mu Tianxiao swallowed his saliva. The cold gleam of the dagger frightened him.

He could chain his wife's throat without mercy, but when the dagger was placed on his neck, his legs became weak with fear

. How many people?

King Jing held the dagger in one hand, against the Sixth Prince's throat, and with the other hand he used his sleeve to block and catch the fish that was swinging its tail in mid-air.

Li Yu knew that the emperor was being coerced and that King Jing was in urgent need of an opportunity. He himself could not stand the Sixth Prince's touch, so he decided to create an unexpected chaos.

King Jing used to clean up the mess for him, and he was very dissatisfied with his behavior. It should be familiar to him. Before Li Yu broke the bottle, he also saw King Jing pause slightly, as if he was about to move. He wanted to help King Jing divert the attention of the Sixth Prince!

Li Yu spotted a thick carpet on the ground in advance and jumped. When he came out, he headed for the blanket, trying to protect his belly. He was going to hit the Sixth Prince twice and then fall onto the carpet. King Jing had weapons on him and would definitely seize the opportunity. He took advantage of the chaos to jump into a corner and then Transfer some of the clean water in your portable space.

Fortunately, he had stored a crystal bottle and a fish tank in the space this time, both filled with water. Now that the crystal bottle was broken, the fish tank was still there. He could move the fish tank out, and as long as he hid in the fish tank, he would be safe for the time being.

As Li Yu expected, he and King Jing had a tacit understanding and worked hard to create an opportunity, which King Jing seized. Not only did he use a dagger to restrain the Sixth Prince, he also caught the fish. Li Yu was very happy, but his tail was tight .

Even at the critical moment, King Jing's thumb still gently stroked the fish's head.

King Jing used his body and sleeves to block the fish. Li Yu seized the opportunity to get the fish out of the tank and jump . Go in.

My heart was pounding with fear

. Great! The old man was fine, and the little cotton-padded jacket was fine too. Oh, oh, oh, the fish did it! "Prince Jing, what on earth do you want to do?" The Sixth Prince was terrified and shouted. King Jing looked

at Concubine Zhang with a cold gaze, looking past the Sixth Prince.

"Release my father," King Jing said in a deep voice.

The Sixth Prince was Concubine Zhang's son. Since Concubine Zhang could support the Emperor, King Jing could also support the Sixth Prince. Negotiating with Concubine Zhang.

When the Sixth Prince heard the hoarse voice of King Jing, he was stunned and glanced at King Jing tremblingly.

Wasn't King Jing born dumb? How could he speak?

Everyone in the Qianqing Palace heard King Jing speak. They were all shocked.

It turned out that King Jing's muteness could be cured!

The Qianqing Palace is already full of Concubine Zhang's people, and all the concubines are actually supported by Concubine Zhang in disguise. If Prince Jing can rescue the emperor, the concubines will be very happy and secretly pray that everything will go well for Prince Jing.

The Eighth Prince's eyes were burning. He was a child, and his focus was different from others. King Jing restrained the Sixth Prince, but what the Eighth Prince saw was King Jing blocking a corner of the fish tank with his body. He didn't know how the fish tank came about, but the fish that slapped the Sixth Prince must have fallen into the fish tank.

The Fifth Prince wanted to fight with the Sixth Prince, what should the fish do?

The Eighth Prince wanted to help King Jing very much. He ignored his mother, Concubine Lu's repeated persuasion, and secretly ran out with his body bent, hugged the fish tank, and ran back.

Because he was small and a child, no one stopped him for a while!

King Jing: "..."

The Eighth Prince kept hugging the fish tank, and King Jing really looked at this younger brother differently.

King Jing no longer had any worries. He looked at Concubine Zhang and said again, "Release my father."

The dagger against the Sixth Prince's throat tightened, and a line of bright red blood came out.

The Sixth Prince immediately screamed in pain, "Mother, save me!"

The Sixth Prince was very afraid that King Jing would kill him, and hoped that Concubine Zhang could save him, but Concubine Zhang had a gloomy face and said nothing.

The Sixth Prince gradually became uneasy.

He was suddenly asked out of prison. The person who asked him out told him that his mother, Concubine Zhang, had gained power. Mu Tianxiao didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Zhang sitting steadily beside the emperor with his own eyes, and the emperor looked disgusted but could do nothing, Mu Tianxiao couldn't help but believe it.

This mother was no longer the useless, submissive woman he had always thought of.

Mu Tianxiao had no idea when this had happened.

But he was very glad for this change. He was the son of Zhang. Since Zhang had controlled the emperor, she would definitely help him ascend to the throne. He would just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

However, the Sixth Prince did not quite understand why Zhang, who was so secretive, refused to help him when he was plotting for the throne.

Perhaps this was Zhang's pattern. He had already fallen into King Jing's trap, and the emperor had long favored King Jing. His original plan would not have been successful.

Only when he was in a desperate situation could he survive. Just when the emperor and King Jing thought that his faction was completely defeated, Zhang had the opportunity to take action and hit the target with one blow.

Thinking carefully, even though she pretended to be ignorant in front of him, he didn't see it at all. In fact, the people around him who could be used were all from Zhang's side. It's not that Zhang didn't help him, but for the sake of this victory, she even successfully hid it from him.

The above are all the reasons that Mu Tianxiao could think of when he tried his best to convince himself to accept Zhang now.

He thought so much about Zhang, but Zhang never explained anything to him, not even a special explanation. Mu Tianxiao was afraid of this mother who could trick the emperor, and didn't dare to ask more. In other words, as long as he could be free and eventually ascend to the throne, what was there that he couldn't accept?

But now, King Jing took him as a hostage and wanted to take Zhang in return. Zhang didn't respond to his call for help for a long time, and Mu Tianxiao was inexplicably panicked.

Although he still called Zhang his mother, he could not see through her at all.

"Your Highness Prince Jing." The silent Princess Zhang suddenly smiled: "Why do you think I would exchange with you?"

"You only have a prince in your hand, but I have the ruler of a country in my hand."

Princess Zhang clapped her hands lightly, and the archers ambushed in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace shot an arrow on the spot. The

Sixth Prince was hit by an arrow without any preparation, and blood spurted out of his chest. The Sixth Prince stared at his wound with wide eyes. This was a cold arrow fired at the instruction of his mother.

"Mother, you, you..."

He finally called out with difficulty and fell forward.

Everyone in the Qianqing Palace did not expect that Princess Zhang would kill even her own son. For a moment, everyone was in danger and shuddered.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, why did you want to kill Tianxiao?!" The emperor couldn't believe it.

Even if the Sixth Prince had wanted to kill him, the emperor had never thought of killing the Sixth Prince.

But Concubine Zhang, in order to avoid being held back, easily got rid of the Sixth Prince who was reduced to a hostage. This woman was so vicious that the emperor felt ashamed of himself.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs? That's just a life lost. You destroyed Loulan, and 100,000 people lost their lives. Aren't you more vicious than a tiger?" Concubine Zhang chuckled.

In return, she was glared at by the emperor.

When King Jing heard what Zhang said, he frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "You are from Loulan - are you Concubine Mei?"

"Yes."

Concubine Zhang admitted without any hesitation. She had been hiding for half her life, and there was no need to hide anymore.

She reached out and wiped her face, pulling off a thin layer of skin.

Zhang was originally a maid, with a dark complexion and a kind face. But after removing the human skin mask, her skin was pale and her appearance was beautiful, which was definitely not Zhang's appearance.

"I am Mei Fei." She said, "But I personally don't like this title. I am the daughter of the king of Loulan. You can also call me Princess Langya."

Li Yu had previously speculated with King Jing that the forces that always assassinated King Jing and poisoned King Jing might be related to Loulan and Mei Fei.

However, the fact is that Mei Fei, who should have died, did not die. She was the leader of this force. She had been hiding in the palace for these years, living as the mother of the sixth prince and a little-known person in the palace, Zhang.

The purpose of her existence was probably for this moment, to take revenge on the emperor.
