When Chu Yanyu learned from his confidant that there were only crystal bottles and fish in the Crown Princess' sedan chair, he bit his lower lip hard.
The Crown Princess was indeed a fish demon, he guessed correctly.
At first, there was a palace maid beside him who always said that the Crown Princess was a fish, Chu Yanyu did not believe it, after all, how could a living person be a fish, but during the Princess Langya incident, he saw with his own eyes that King Jing's fish jumped up and slapped the Sixth Prince. He had seen this fish many times, but it was the first time that it slapped people, so he couldn't help but be concerned about this fish.
Later, he learned that this fish also helped the Crown Prince send the tiger talisman out. It was said that it was sent to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess was able to contact the garrison. Chu Yanyu felt that this fish was too human.
In a flash, he remembered a few things.
One was that he had heard Mu Tianxiao talking about King Jing's fish in the Sixth Prince's Mansion before. The Sixth Prince thought there was something wrong with the fish, but he was suspicious and didn't find out anything.
The other was that he found out by himself. An Hou's mother, Qiu, also said that King Jing's fish was unusual, could fly, and slapped her.
And An Hou himself would often talk about fish when he was crazy.
If only one person said there was something wrong with the fish, Chu Yanyu might have laughed it off, but two or three people said so, and even he could taste something wrong. When
the maid mentioned the Crown Princess turning into a fish again, Chu Yanyu's heart sank. Could this be the truth? The Crown Princess was not a human, but a fish?
He immediately asked the maid to describe the situation in detail.
During the hunting festival, Chu Yanyu himself went to the hunting grounds. He knew that the prince was unwell at the time and the imperial physician was treating him. The time and place matched what the maid said. Moreover, the fish that the maid said the princess turned into was the one that Chu Yanyu thought was problematic.
If the princess really turned into a fish, then this fish must be a demon, which can indeed explain its spirituality.
Moreover, the princess is the former Master Li of the Jingwang Mansion. Others don’t know, but Chu Yanyu still knows this Master Li. However, Master Li suddenly appeared in the Jingwang Mansion, which is also very strange.
The princess’ name... is Li Yu.
Could it be - really a carp?
Chu Yanyu wanted to confirm his guess. He had read a lot of books and knew that there was a folk method that could use black dog blood to make demons return to their original form.
Chu Yanyu decided to give it a try. He did everything he could to get some black dog blood, but how to let the Crown Princess touch this blood, Chu Yanyu was in trouble.
He has been in the palace for some time. Although he is still just a small nobleman, he can use money to get some information. The news about the Crown Prince's Mansion in the palace is very tight. There is a piece of news that seems to be irrelevant, but it makes him think of a way.
It is said that the eunuch Wang of the Crown Prince's Mansion often goes to the cold palace to deliver dried fish to Qiu's cat Piaoxue.
Chu Yanyu secretly hid and saw it with his own eyes when Wang Xi was feeding Piaoxue. While feeding
, Wang Xi told the cat that this was the kindness of the Crown Princess, and Chu Yanyu knew that he had a way.
He caught Piaoxue when she was out looking for food, and tied her up in a side hall of Yongfu Palace where he lived for a few days.
When he learned that the prince's wife had entered the palace, he personally wrapped gauze around Piaoxue's legs, and underneath the gauze was a cloth ball soaked in black dog blood, which was not easy to detect.
It is said that the Crown Princess is very caring, and the Prince's Mansion has ducks and rabbits, so what will happen if they encounter an "injured" Piaoxue?
The answer is certain...
Just like that, Chu Yanyu ordered his confidant to put Piaoxue somewhere in the Yu Garden, and then stare at her from a distance.
The prince and his entourage really took Piaoxue away, and they did not go to the Qianqing Palace, but returned to the Jingtai Palace halfway!
Chu Yanyu asked his confidant to investigate again, and learned that there was only one fish in the Crown Princess's sedan chair. Chu Yanyu curled his lips.
As he thought, the Crown Princess was a fish demon!
Originally, he wanted to be the emperor's favorite concubine one day, and use him when he was useful, and kick him away when he was not useful, and trample the Sixth Prince under his feet. However, things are unpredictable. The Sixth Prince plotted against King Jing in the hunting ground, but was plotted against and thrown into prison by the emperor.
Later, he learned that the Sixth Prince's mother, Concubine Zhang, was actually Princess Langya of Loulan, and Chu Yanyu's plan was completely disrupted.
Putting these aside, after entering the palace, he realized how difficult it was to be a concubine. Concubine
Zhang - Princess Langya drugged the emperor's wine and made him drunk, so that he could get on the dragon bed.
In fact, the drunk emperor did not do anything to him. Chu Yanyu knew it very well in his heart, but he would never clarify it.
After becoming a noble, he found out that the emperor really had no interest in male concubines. When he was young, he had other male concubines, but no men were selected in the selection in recent years.
Chu Yanyu was eager to enter the palace, but he didn't know the deep meaning. He hurriedly became a noble, and stayed alone in an empty room every day. Only then did he realize that concubines were different from concubines.
Concubines of low rank, regardless of gender, had to be carried into the emperor's bedroom by eunuchs.
He felt ashamed at first, but since he became a noble, he had never been carried once, and even the people serving around him looked at him with subtle eyes.
It is true that he would have a seat next to the emperor at every important banquet, and people who were not aware of the situation would think that he was very favored, but he knew that this was just the emperor's way of pretending to be harmonious with the six palaces, and he might have even forgotten his name.
It is said that good wine needs no bush, but the emperor's favor is different.
The emperor has seen too many beauties, and his appearance is not in the emperor's eyes.
He is proficient in poetry and singing, but the emperor will not ask him to perform.
The most aggrieved thing is not that he is not as good as others, but that he has no chance even if he enters the palace.
Chu Yanyu realized that before he could take revenge on the Sixth Prince, he must first have the emperor's favor, and he also took action.
But this is more difficult than attracting the attention of King Jing in King Jing's Mansion.
The means he can think of have been used by others.
He was in an awkward situation, unable to advance or retreat.
With the fall of the Sixth Prince, he lost his target of revenge and his backer.
Later, Zhang turned out to be Princess Langya, a native of Loulan. Chu Yanyu was shocked.
Princess Langya also told him a secret, that he also had Loulan blood in his body. Princess Langya originally chose him and put him next to the Sixth Prince as a backup.
Chu Yanyu was afraid of being exposed, so he had to obey Princess Langya.
He had been in the palace for many days and knew that people sometimes had to have a way out. He also knew that adding flowers to the brocade is far less than sending charcoal in the snow, so he deliberately hid Princess Langya and took care of the emperor. This "goodwill" finally fell into the eyes of the emperor and saved his life.
Princess Langya died. Only he and Princess Langya knew the secret that he was from Loulan. The threats he faced were gone.
The emperor treated him better than before, but Chu Yanyu still felt it was not enough.
The purpose that once kept him alive was shattered. He could only work hard to be a favorite concubine and climb up.
At this time, the emperor established a crown prince.
Chu Yanyu suddenly realized that the emperor was old. Not to mention that he was not a favorite concubine, even if he was, in the end he would probably have to become a monk for the emperor or be buried alive.
Knowing that there was no way out, what could he get by fighting?
He was still young, how could he bear to bury his best years on the emperor? He felt unwilling in his heart.
Until he set his sights on the prince.
Compared with the emperor, the prince was the rising sun.
Everyone in the palace knew that the prince and his wife were in love, and Chu Yanyu had actually seen this.
Once, there was a banquet in the palace to listen to an opera, and the pregnant princess fell asleep halfway through the performance. The prince confessed to the emperor and personally carried the princess back to the palace.
This was just a small matter, but Chu Yanyu was very concerned.
Once upon a time, all he wanted was such a kind of care. Why was he still a humble nobleman after suffering so much, and no one treated him sincerely, while the princess went smoothly, did nothing, but had everything.
Even though the princess' rank was much higher than his, he still had to kneel down to her.
Chu Yanyu's mood was not right until he found out the secret of the princess.
He knew that his chance had come.
"Go and deliver the letter to the prince." Chu Yanyu instructed his confidant in a good mood.
He straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and on a whim, he took some lipstick from the dressing table and put it on.
He was not satisfied until his lips were rosy and tempting.
"Chu Yanyu - he wants to see you?"
Li Yu held down the secret report passed by the guard and almost couldn't sit still.
What the hell, he thought that after deceiving Chu Yanyu, Chu Yanyu would complain to the emperor and expose him. Isn't this usually the routine?
But Chu Yanyu didn't do that. She secretly delivered a letter to the prince, and simply treated him, the crown princess, as air!
Damn it, what did he think Chu Yanyu's purpose was, it turned out that she wanted to seduce him. Li Yu became a jealous fish again in a blink of an eye!
"…Are you going to meet him? Are you going to meet him?" Li Yu asked sourly, not realizing that he had become a parrot.
He hugged the prince's arm, opened his mouth and bit a piece of meat, grinding it gently with the tip of his teeth.
If the other party gave him an answer he hated, he would bite him hard!
Mu Tianchi laughed. In his heart, he really wanted this fish to be jealous, but he was afraid that he would get angry and hurt himself, so he rubbed his head and comforted him first.
"I'm not going." The prince said decisively.
Li Yu: "..."
That's better!
Li Yu said "Oh" proudly, changed his mouth shape, and changed to a "boji" kiss where he was going to bite.
He kissed so loudly that the prince's ears turned red.
The prince said he would not go, and that was all. The messenger sent by Chu Yanyu did not even see the prince.
Wang Xi came out to pass on the prince's message, and he did not even look at him straight in the eye.
The prince was of noble status, how could a small nobleman see him whenever he wanted?
Wang Xi could guess what Noble Chu was thinking with his toes, and he almost pointed at Noble Chu's nose and scolded him for being shameless.
The messenger left in disgrace, and Chu Yanyu waited with hope, but what he got was that the prince refused to meet him.
"How is it possible? Didn't you say that I have very important news on hand, which is related to the Crown Princess?"
Chu Yanyu did not believe it at first.
The confidant said helplessly: "I have said it, and I have said it several times, but Eunuch Wang only said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not
see him." ...The prince refused to see him!
Chu Yanyu's heart was full of resentment. When the prince was still King Jing, he never looked at him straight in the eye. Even though he might have a very important handle, the prince still looked down on him.
How could this person be so indifferent to him?
He just wanted to save him from the fish monster, but in exchange, he wanted a place by the other party's side.
Although it was incredible according to his identity, as long as the other party became the emperor, there was nothing impossible.
Yes, when he saw the prince and the princess in love, he was not only envious, but also crazy jealous.
He also wanted someone to treat him like this.
Once, he was very close to the prince, but the prince never gave him any chance.
Since he can't get it, then destroy it.
"You asked for it!"
Chu Yanyu's eyes were slightly red, and he swept the bronze mirror in front of him to the ground.
He lay in front of the desk for a long time before getting up, re-arranging his hair, and then took his confidant and went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Chu Yanyu finally moved!
Li Yu was also excited. What if the villain doesn't follow the routine?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince replied: Just force him to follow the routine.
Since Chu Yanyu went to ask for an audience with the emperor, Li Yu had to leave as soon as possible.
"Who do you think I should pretend to be?" Li Yu looked at the old attacker with interest.
Before in the hunting ground, Mu Tianchi pretended to be a guard to protect him, and now it's his turn to pretend!
- In fact, just put it in the sedan chair, there is no need to dress up as the Crown Princess. It is obvious that the Crown Princess wants to play.
The Crown Prince thought about it, and his eyes were dotted with smiles.
It was impossible to pretend to be a guard. There were no guards with big bellies in the world. There was only a wet nurse who accompanied the prince to the Qianqing Palace.
