King Jing wanted to put the little carp in a crystal bottle and take it with him. For Li Yu, this was both a blessing and a curse.

The tyrant was worried about the fish's safety, which was a sign of pampering. Li Yu was very touched, but it was carried with him, and in a bottle with a lid. It was impossible for it to become a human under such circumstances.

When Li Yu realized this, King Jing had been taking him around for most of the day. The outside world was too tempting. Li Yu really didn't expect that there would be a day for fish to wander around. He just stared open his eyes, swam around in the bottle, and looked around.

When the servants in the palace saw him, they all saluted. The little carp's small vanity was satisfied - well, it was actually saluting King Jing who was carrying him. It felt good to occasionally act like a bully.

King Jing also likes to carry fish with him because it is convenient. The fish tank is too heavy and needs to be lifted by someone. The teacup and bowl are too shallow and the fish can easily fall out. If you change to a crystal bottle, there is no need to worry about it. You can bring it with you even when you enter the palace.

King Jing tasted the benefits and wanted to keep the fish in the crystal bottle.

Li Yu was quite happy at first, but when he found out that King Jing had no intention of putting him back in the fish tank, he was actually trapped in the bottle, so he became a little unhappy.

Although the bottle allows him to stay with his owner all the time, he cannot complete the mission and cannot turn back into a human. He can only watch many good opportunities pass by, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

The life of a fish trapped in a bottle is as lonely as snow.

He had to let King Jing understand that although the bottle was convenient, for the fish's physical and mental health, it was best not to let the fish stay in the bottle for too long.

Originally, he wanted to show his dissatisfaction by showing his belly up, but when he saw King Jing order Wang Xi to tie a chain to the handle inlaid on the bottle, and then entangle the chain with his hand several times to prevent the crystal bottle from breaking if he didn't hold it, he didn't want to scare King Jing anymore. King

Jing's palm was red from being strangled. The little carp felt sour in his heart, and felt uncomfortable being trapped in the bottle, but he felt even more uncomfortable because King Jing did this because of him.

King Jing had never kept a pet, and didn't know what a fish wanted. Putting him in a bottle was also a kind gesture. He just needs to let King Jing realize that he doesn't like staying in the bottle, and he shouldn't deliberately turn his belly up to scare King Jing, as he doesn't have any grudge against King Jing.

Li Yu suppressed his curiosity about the novelty of the outside world and lay quietly at the bottom of the bottle.

The little carp is naturally lively and active, and it is very obvious once it is quiet.

King Jing took a look at the fish and was very puzzled. Why did the fish suddenly wilt when it was still so high-spirited just now?

Worried that the air hole on the bottle cap was blocked, King Jing checked it twice and found that there was nothing wrong with the crystal bottle.

The fish was still wilted and didn't get better for a long time. King Jing ordered the eunuch who knew how to raise fish to come over, fearing that the little fish would get sick again.

Every time the eunuchs came to "check the illness" of the fish, it was actually a false alarm every time. This time, they held the crystal bottle and studied it over and over again, but they couldn't see what was wrong with the fish.

King Jing's fish are fine.

However, the eunuch has many pets, and he knows that most pets don't like to be restrained, so he bravely told King Jing tactfully that it might be because the fish master is always sealed in the bottle and can't adapt well. After all, the crystal fish tank that originally kept the fish was very large. If it was moved to a narrow place, the fish would have a smaller range to swim, and over time they would definitely not like to move.

The eunuch felt a little regretful after he finished speaking. It was King Jing's idea to put the fish in the crystal bottle, and King Jing insisted that they tell the truth, so the eunuch was also embarrassed.

So that's it. King Jing nodded and understood what the eunuch meant.

Although the crystal bottle is convenient for bringing fish, the fish still can't stay in it all the time, or the fish will be depressed, and he has to take the fish's own situation into consideration.

But he couldn't leave the fish alone in his bedroom, where thieves would want to take advantage of it...

Prince Jing soon came up with a compromise. He placed fish tanks and larger tea cups in the places he often visited in Prince Jing's mansion. The fish still followed him. When he arrived at these places, he would immediately take the fish out of the crystal bottle and put it in the nearby fish tank or tea cup. This way, there was nothing wrong.

Li Yu only pretended to be listless for an hour, then he realized that his purpose had been achieved and he could return to the fish tank from time to time.

Prince Jing personally opened the bottle cap and sank the bottle into the fish tank. The little carp finally stopped being listless and jumped out of the crystal bottle like an arrow shot from a bow.

... Fish are indeed more suitable to stay in the fish tank.

Li Yu sighed as he swam comfortably in the tank.

Looking back at the bottle still immersed in the water, it’s not that he doesn’t like being with King Jing all the time. After all, this is the owner’s intention.

In order to express gratitude to the owner, the little carp specially danced a seaweed dance around the crystal bottle, trying to convey his meaning to King Jing.

The bottle is very good, and he is also happy to follow King Jing around, as long as he is not locked in the bottle all the time.

King Jing really noticed the fish’s preference, curled his lips and pinched the slippery fish spine, and the man and the fish reached a consensus. After

being happy for a while, Li Yu realized that he was still with King Jing in the fish tank:!!!

What can I do? I still can’t transform? Can it be that the transformation into a human can only change from once a day to a long time indefinitely!

Li Yu had a headache. Should he let King Jing know that the thief that King Jing feared was actually Yu himself?

However, compared with the distress of not being able to transform, the rescue plan was obviously more important.

Li Yu's plan to save Ye Shizi had been implemented. When he was in the crystal bottle these days, he heard Wang Xi report to King Jing that people in Cheng'en Mansion had begun to keep an eye on the movements of the second and sixth princes.

This was the same as Ye Qinghuan promised.

Li Yu sent the letter to alert the Cheng'en Mansion. In fact, even he himself did not know whether Prince Ye would still be engaged to Princess Jin Jue if the relationship between Prince Jing and Concubine Xiao Jiao was over. He tried to simply write the facts that happened in the original book in the letter. Even if it did not happen in the end, it would not matter if the letter was regarded as a fake. At least the Cheng'en Mansion would not be easily calculated by the second and sixth princes as in the original book.

Although he was almost blocked by Prince Jing again, and his vest was shaking from time to time, this rescue was generally smooth. However, the side quest "Copper Wall and Iron Wall" related to saving Prince Ye has not been completed yet.

No prompt means the mission is not completed, because Li Yu's main purpose is to save people. Whether the side quest can be completed or whether the reward can be obtained is secondary. But on the other hand, does this mean that it is not enough to rely on letters to alert the Chengen Mansion, and Ye Shizi may still experience the tragic fate in the original book?

Since he has decided to save people, he should not give up halfway. But if writing letters is not enough, what else can he do?

Li Yu remembered that in the original book, Ye Qinghuan was framed in the palace a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival. Although Li Yu mentioned it in the letter, he didn't know how Ye Qinghuan would deal with it. Li Yu felt that the most direct way was to not let Ye Shizi enter the palace during this period, and the farther away from the frame-up, the better.

But stopping Ye Shizi from entering the palace is more difficult than asking him to write or deliver a letter to Ye Shizi.

If he is asked to stop King Jing, maybe he can do it, but Ye Qinghuan is from Cheng'en Mansion, and the fish fins are too short to reach him.

Li Yu was so worried that his head hurt. He didn't know if the fish would lose its scales if it used its brain too much. He felt that the scales on his body were almost bald.

Fortunately, King Jing had the same idea as him. Wang Xi only said that Cheng'en Mansion had made preparations. King Jing didn't know what Ye Qinghuan was going to do, so he ordered people to bring Ye Shizi over. Wang Xi beat him up on behalf of King Jing.

Ye Qinghuan, who thought that King Jing finally cared about him, said: "..."

King Jing also meant that Ye Qinghuan should be avoided for a few days. Li Yu was listening in the fish tank, and he couldn't help but think excitedly, as expected of his master, he and he are in tune with each other, Ye Shizi should listen to King Jing's advice, right?

But Ye Qinghuan shook his head and refused.

"Tianchi, I can't not enter the palace because of what is said in the letter."

Ye Qinghuan understood that King Jing was doing it for his own good, but he knew very well that he would not enter the palace without reason, most of them were ordered by the emperor, and he could be asked to be vigilant, but if he really disobeyed the emperor's order or deceived the emperor because of a few words that could not be verified, Cheng'en Mansion, his father and his mother would not forgive him.

Ye Qinghuan smiled carelessly: "I will still be like this, and see how those people are going to harm me."

It's really... stupid.

Although King Jing disliked Ye Qinghuan for being so reckless, he still glanced at Wang Xi after pondering for a moment.

Wang Xi was so moved that tears were about to fall: "Don't worry, Prince, the prince has decided to enter the palace with you! With the prince watching, you will be fine!"

"Tianchi, thank you!"

Prince Jing was mostly indifferent to others. Ye Qinghuan was a little touched for a moment and wanted to step forward and pat his cousin on the shoulder, but was angrily slapped away by Prince Jing.

Li Yu always felt that Prince Ye's bright eyes and the look on his face when he wanted to poke Prince Jing but was rejected were familiar.

Thinking carefully, it was Xiong Feng. Xiong Feng often wanted to poke him with the tip of his nose, and he was so scared that he kept screaming and hiding, but Xiong Feng still wanted to poke him through the crystal wall. Looking

at Prince Ye again, it seemed that he had a tail exactly like Xiong Feng's behind him, swaying happily.

Li Yu: Phew, it is true that a dog follows his master.

In the original book, Prince Jing did not enter the palace with Ye Qinghuan. Now that Prince Jing is going, Li Yu feels more at ease that he and Ye Shizi can take care of each other.

And according to Prince Jing’s recent habit of taking him wherever he goes, he must be indispensable in the palace, so he can go and keep an eye on Ye Shizi in person!

Ten days later, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the monarch of the Jin Jue Kingdom, Prince Jin Jue, came to the imperial city for an audience. The emperor arranged for Prince Jin Jue to have a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the Ministry of Rites.

Because it was a state banquet, Prince Jing and Ye Qinghuan were both present. When they saw the 28-year-old, pretty and bright girl next to Prince Jin Jue come out to pay their respects to the emperor, the two looked at each other tacitly.

It turned out that this was Princess Jin Jue... As mentioned in the letter, the person who had nothing to do with them had already arrived!

Prince Jing and Ye Qinghuan both tightened their strings at the same time.

The emperor had recently received a letter from Prince Jin Jue, who was interested in an alliance and marrying the little princess into his dynasty. Considering the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the emperor readily agreed.

As for who the little princess should marry, the emperor went over the list of men of the right age in the imperial city.

The most noble ones are naturally his princes. But Princess Jin Jue is a foreigner after all, and it is not suitable for her to marry a prince as a principal wife. In addition, Prince Jin Jue mentioned in the letter that the little princess did not want to be a concubine.

The emperor thought of Prince Jing. Prince Jing was unmarried and could not inherit the throne. If he married Princess Jin Jue, it would be feasible.

But the emperor immediately rejected this idea. Prince Jing was mute, and Princess Jin Jue might not like him. Moreover, as long as he did not appoint a crown prince, Prince Jing would be the most noble prince. If he let Prince Jing marry a foreign woman, how would he arrange the wives of other princes?

The emperor decided not to choose from any of the princes, but to find other noble princes to match with Princess Jin Jue.

Soon, Prince Chengen came into his sight...

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor smiled and said, "Prince Ye, the safety of Prince Jin Jue and the princess in the imperial city is in your hands."

Ye Qinghuan felt that the blood in his body was running cold, and he gritted his teeth and knelt down to receive the order.

...

At the banquet, Prince Jing took out the crystal bottle from his sleeve after he sat down. The etiquette of the state banquet was complicated, and I don't know if Xiaoyu was bored.

When he entered the palace today, he originally didn't want to bring the fish with him, but the little fish took the initiative to get into the crystal bottle and refused to come out, staring at him with its black jade eyes.

King Jing smiled, and had to stuff the crystal bottle and the fish into his sleeve.

When he took out the crystal bottle, everyone around was stunned.

King Jing actually carried a fish with him?

Many of them had seen King Jing moving with a large crystal fish tank, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

The second prince, who was sitting among the princes, chatting and laughing with others, and had the demeanor of a prince, suddenly looked unhappy when he saw the fish.

Second prince, we meet again!
