The second prince would never care about a fish before, but he had to be careful with the fish in front of him. He had suffered from this fish before, and it was almost certain that this fish, which looked dead, was very likely playing tricks again.

After being confined by the emperor, Qiu had accused him hoarsely that this fish was the conspiracy of King Jing, and the second prince had also suspected it. But if he wanted to save his image in the emperor's heart and his position as the crown prince was foolproof, he could not get around King Jing and could not do anything rude to King Jing in public.

King Jing had a special status, and it could be said that he was a test left by the emperor for the next crown prince. He must make the emperor feel that he was kind and would treat all his brothers well, especially King Jing, who was of a nobler birth than him, so even if Qiu and himself were to suffer a little injustice at the moment, he would accept it.

Qiu's previous experience told him that no matter what the fish was like, he should not act rashly and should remain unchanged in the face of all changes. He thought that since he had come with Wang Xi, as long as he pretended to be unaware, King Jing would not be able to blame him.

He did so, but he still couldn't control his eyes and secretly looked at the evil fish. After a long time, the fish still did not move.

The second prince's eyelids jumped, and this time the fish was afraid that it was really dead.

It would be better to leave as soon as possible.

The second prince said to Wang Xi, "I have something else to do in my mansion, so I'll take my leave first. If you find the night pearl, just send someone to deliver it."

Wang Xi smiled and shook his head, "Look at what you said, you asked my prince for it in person, so of course I want you to look at it in person first..."

Wang Xi has been with Prince Jing for many years and has met Mu Tianzhao many times. It is the first time that Mu Tianzhao feels that this old guy is so difficult to deal with. The more he wants to leave, the more he can't leave. The eunuch in charge of taking care of the fish came over to inspect and suddenly realized something was wrong. Pointing at the fish in the fish tank, he anxiously said, "Eunuch Wang, why don't your prince's fish move for so long?"

The second prince: "..."

Mu Tianzhao cursed him in his heart.

Wang Xi ran over and took a few looks. He knew that the little carp had a "problem" of often "oversleeping". Lately the little carp had not been very active. Wang Xi saw the fish lying neatly and tidy and did not think much about it at first. But after being reminded by the eunuch, he thought they were too quiet. Could something have happened to the fish?

Wang Xi carefully looked at the fish for a while, and said uncertainly: "Guard it well, and invite

Your Highness right away." Wang Xi looked solemn, and turned to Mu Tianzhao and said: "Second Prince, my prince will be here soon, please wait."

Mu Tianzhao was tricked by the fish, and he was still frightened. Wang Xi did not let him go, so he was a little angry: "What do you mean, what does Prince Jing's fish have to do with me, my prince, I have never touched this fish!"

"Hey, Second Prince, I didn't say anything, why are you so anxious." Wang Xi said with a smile, "You probably don't know yet, this fish is my prince's darling, and the emperor knows about this fish, not just you, but everyone who has come to this room has to wait for Your Highness to come and take it." He

is really relying on the power of others, even the emperor is brought out!

Mu Tianzhao's eyes turned cold, a servant in Prince Jing's mansion dared to treat him like this, what would Prince Jing's attitude be towards him?

But think about his position as the crown prince... Let this dumb guy be proud for a while, and when he ascends the throne, I guarantee that this dumb guy will not even cry.

Mu Tianzhao forced himself to soften his expression and said, "Then let's wait until the fifth prince comes."

Ninghui Hall.

As soon as the second prince left, Mu Tianming suggested that the dancers continue. The third prince was unwilling to accept it, and his careful preparations were disrupted by the second prince.

King Jing was dispensable, and it was okay to continue, but the sound of stringed instruments had just begun, and a familiar little eunuch ran over, facing King Jing from a distance, scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety.

King Jing had some impression of this eunuch, remembering that he always followed Wang Xi, and waved to the eunuch.

The eunuch immediately approached after receiving the order and whispered to King Jing.

The eunuch didn't know what happened, and was hurriedly sent by Wang Xi. According to the instructions of the eunuch, something went wrong with the fish master, and he needed to ask King Jing for instructions. The eunuch couldn't explain the details. King Jing remembered that the second prince went to get the night pearl, and he was afraid that it was related to the second prince. Wang Xi couldn't say it clearly.

Did the second prince hurt his fish?

King Jing's expression immediately turned cold, and he waved his sleeves to dismiss the singing and dancing. The third prince wanted to persuade him, but King Jing directly waved away the third prince and went to the back hall.

Soon they arrived at the residence. Wang Xi and the eunuchs were all there, and there was also a second prince who looked unhappy.

King Jing didn't care about the second prince, and before Wang Xi said anything more, he went to see the crystal fish tank.

On the white stone bed, his fish lay quietly.

King Jing looked at it carefully for a moment, then reached his hand into the water and touched the fish's back. His face suddenly changed after touching it, and he immediately pulled the small carp out.

Wang Xi went over and saw from the corner of his eye that King Jing actually... flattened the fish's body? ? ?

"Your Highness, this... this is not a real fish!" Wang Xi reacted quickly.

King Jing threw the fake fish to Wang Xi, who held it in his hand and looked at it over and over again. If you look at this fake fish from a distance, it is no different from a real fish, but it feels soft and has no bones. I don't know what it is made of!

The small carp is not in the fish tank, but there is a fake fish in the fish tank. This is a big problem!

"Your Highness, who could have done this?"

A fake fish was placed in the fish tank, clearly to deceive them. Who is so bold?

The key is, where is the real fish?

Mu Tianzhao originally wanted to clarify that the dead fish had nothing to do with him this time, but he didn't expect that the dead fish was actually a fake fish. Mu Tianzhao was shocked, but unfortunately, he was the only outsider who had been to King Jing's room.

King Jing cast a heavy gaze over, and the second prince felt that he had been fooled again, this time by a fake fish!

He dared to say that he had nothing to do with the real fish or the fake fish, but the key is, does King Jing believe him?

The second prince was about to argue, but his eyes blurred, and King Jing's sword was already on his neck.

"Fifth brother, what are you going to do? This has nothing to do with me..."

The second prince felt that King Jing's sword was about to cut his throat, and he was almost scared. He didn't expect King Jing to threaten him for a fish!

King Jing glanced at Wang Xi with a sharp look, and Wang Xi said for him: "Second prince, please tell the truth."

"I really told the truth. I just came to get the night pearl. I... Although I don't like this fish, if it was really me, why would I deliberately put a fake fish in? Wouldn't it be better to just throw the fish away?"

In order to survive, the second prince didn't care too much.

King Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at the second prince for a while, wondering if his words were true or false. The second prince broke out in a cold sweat.

King Jing finally put down his sword and ordered the second prince to be escorted out of the house. At this point, Mu Tianzhao must have told the truth. There was no need for this man to go through so much trouble. And if there really was something, King Jing was looking for the second prince, so there was no need for Mu Tianzhao to do such a stupid thing.

Therefore, it should not have been done by Mu Tianzhao.

But the fake fish was actually to divert his attention and prevent him from quickly discovering that the fish was missing. Who would make such an arrangement for what purpose?

King Jing was in a hurry just now and actually used force to force Mu Tianzhao to tell the truth. Now he was calmer and began to order people to check if there was any change in this room.

After checking, the eunuch said that there was a window open on the south side. This window overlooked the garden of King Jing's mansion, but King Jing did not usually have the habit of opening this window.

There were originally many tea cups on the ground, which were convenient for the little carp to wander around. King Jing had a good memory and remembered the location of each tea cup. After counting them, he found that one was missing.

This easily made people think that someone took the fish away in a tea cup and then escaped through the window.

King Jing pondered for a moment, and then asked someone to search the house to see if there were any other objects missing or moved.

Wang Xi came back soon and reported: "Your Highness, nothing else is missing or moved, but the closet has been searched, and one of your...a set of underwear and underwear is missing."

King Jing: "..."

Wang Xi was puzzled. Could it be that there was a thief who not only stole your fish, but also your underwear and underwear?

The thief's vision is too strange.

King Jing ordered Wang Xi to check all suspicious people in the direction of the garden, especially those holding tea cups, and to dig three feet deep to find the small carp.

King Jing was busy looking for fish, and at the same time, a young man fell down from the rocks of the rockery.

Half an hour ago, Li Yu drank the transformation potion and lost consciousness. When he woke up, he found that he had regained his human form. Li Yu was very happy. He looked in the bronze mirror and found that his face was his own, which made him even happier. But then he encountered an unprecedented crisis - after turning back into a human, he didn't have any clothes on!

Because he was a fish body before, and scales are part of the fish, Li Yu didn't think about the problem of clothes. As a result, when he turned into a human, his clothes were gone! And such an important thing, the Fish-Trapping System didn't even mention it!

Li Yu:... Well, otherwise why is it called the Fish-Trapping System.

The most urgent thing was to find clothes to wear.

Li Yu changed his body in King Jing's room. When he was still a fish, he spent every day with King Jing, so he knew where King Jing's clothes were. King Jing's clothes were the only ones in this place, so Li Yu went to the closet to look around.

King Jing's closet had all kinds of clothes, but King Jing was taller than Li Yu, and in ancient times, most people wore long robes with wide sleeves. Li Yu looked bad in King Jing's outer robe, and it was empty inside. He had to be careful when walking, as it was easy to expose himself...

This was secondary. Many of the servants would recognize the master's clothes, and Li Yu was afraid of being discovered and arousing suspicion, but he had to wear them. After a while of consideration, he picked out King Jing's inner clothes and underwear.

Close-fitting clothes are always much smaller than outer robes. The inner garment has no embroidery or marks, so you can't tell anything. Moreover, the cabinet where King Jing took out his clothes had hardly been used. It should be newly made or spare. It wouldn't be too disgusting to borrow it and wear it.

Even if King Jing had worn it before, he would have to grit his teeth and bear it. A pure boy can't run around naked!

There was no way to change the shoes. King Jing's feet were bigger than his. It would be better for him to not wear big shoes, so that he could move more conveniently.

As for his hair, he had short hair in the original world. The system was a little conscientious in this detail and adjusted it to a medium-length length that just reached his shoulders. In the ancient world, it shouldn't be too abrupt.

Li Yu casually put his hair behind his head, changed his clothes quickly, and then filled the teacup with water and put some fish food in it, effectively combining the three things into one and storing them in the space. He

took another look at the life-size fish pillow, which was perfectly replacing him in the fish tank. It would not be discovered unless he touched it. All preparations were complete.

Li Yu deliberately opened the window close to the garden - he certainly didn't want to go out through this window, there would definitely be many guests in the garden, he just wanted to divert his attention.

Then he opened the window on the other side that was unguarded because it was against the rockery. After climbing onto the windowsill, Li Yu carefully wiped off his footprints and hid in the rockery cave.
