Ye Qinghuan put a stack of secret reports in front of King Jing with a cold face.

Ye Shizi was always enthusiastic and rarely looked so gloomy. When the secret reports were put down, the fish swimming in the fish tank also stopped, fearing that they would miss the news if they were not careful.

After the state banquet, the emperor kept Ye Qinghuan and his father, Cheng En Gong. Ye Qinghuan was cautious and self-disciplined at the banquet, and thought that he did not stand out. In the end, he was still selected by the emperor to marry Princess Jin Jue. It must be said that the incredible words in the letter at that time were being confirmed by reality bit by bit.

The emperor intended to let Ye Qinghuan marry the princess. Although he was also asking about the attitude of Cheng En Gong Mansion, the marriage was a state affair. Ye Qinghuan knew very well that his father, Cheng En Gong, was loyal to the emperor and would never say anything against it.

His marriage was arranged in this way, but Ye Qinghuan was not worried about his married life. The letter said that the second prince would frame him for killing Princess Jin Jue. Obviously, this princess was also among those being plotted. Ye Qinghuan was determined not to let the second prince succeed. As for whether Princess Jin Jue would accept his arranged marriage after dealing with the second prince, he would wait and see.

He began to keep an eye on the second prince and the sixth prince mentioned in the letter when he received the letter.

The second prince's mansion outside the palace, Mu Tianzhao's men have been coming in and out frequently since his marriage was arranged by the emperor.

The second prince must be planning something.

With King Jing reminding him from time to time, Ye Qinghuan did not fully believe the content of the letter. The closer it was to reality, the more he had to cheer up. Soon, his people found out the second prince's plan.

The second prince planned to lure Princess Jin Jue to the Misty Rain Pavilion and kill her on the day when Ye Qinghuan and Princess Jin Jue entered the palace to thank him, and then bring Ye Qinghuan over to take the blame. As soon as Ye Qinghuan set foot in the Misty Rain Pavilion, he would find his fiancée's body with his own sword stuck in her chest - the second prince was going to order someone to steal the sword from the Cheng'en Mansion in advance as evidence that Master Ye had killed the princess.

The second prince would lead a group of former guards into the Misty Rain Pavilion and take Master Ye "on the spot", which would be a double-edged sword, leaving Ye Qinghuan speechless.

The Second Prince's plan was to slander Ye Qinghuan for destroying the marriage and killing the princess. Most of what was said in the letter matched, but there were some inconsistencies. The letter said that the Sixth Prince also had a hand in it, and asked Ye Shizi not to trust the Sixth Prince.

But Ye Qinghuan only found out about the Second Prince, and the Sixth Prince did not make any move. Compared with the Second Prince who was used to acting, and the Third Prince who wanted to compete with the Second Prince all the time, this Sixth Prince was transparent. Even in such an important occasion as the state banquet, he did not even approach the Emperor. Ye Qinghuan even suspected that the letter was written incorrectly.

After all, there were too many wrong characters on it, and it was a miracle that Ye Qinghuan could read the letter patiently and understand it.

However, since the Sixth Prince did not do as the letter said, they had no way of knowing who the Sixth Prince would harm. After much discussion between Prince Jing and Ye Qinghuan, they decided to have someone keep a close eye on the Sixth Prince.

In addition, they also discovered that the Second Prince secretly prepared arsenic, which was obviously intended to poison, but it was not clear who he was going to target. Anyway, he was definitely not going to poison Princess Jin Jue, because the princess had to be killed by the sword of Prince Cheng'en in order to frame her, and poisoning was a superfluous act.

Ye Qinghuan had made the corresponding arrangements, and the Emperor's decree of marriage was soon issued on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. Soon, he would enter the palace to thank the Emperor.

At Prince Jing's place. It was agreed that he would enter the palace with Prince Ye. On the day of thanking the Emperor, Prince Jing changed into a light outfit early, wearing a black crown on his head, and a royal blue brocade robe with silver edges casually covered on the outside.

Ordinary people were not allowed to wear swords when entering the palace, but King Jing was a prince. In addition to the precious sword hanging from his waist, he also calmly stuffed a dagger into his cloud-patterned boots, as if he was ready to fight to the death with the Second Prince

. Li Yu swam anxiously in the crystal fish tank. He also wanted to go with them. Now that King Jing could not be with the little concubine, there was no premise that the Cheng'en Mansion had to help the Third Prince. He actually had no idea whether the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince would follow the original book, and what if there were some details that he did not pay attention to when reading the book?

In the original book, he couldn't remember the name of the royal princess who was harmed by the Sixth Prince. It was only mentioned in one sentence in the original book, and she was not even a cannon fodder. Therefore, he could only simply remind Ye Qinghuan to pay attention to the Sixth Prince. He believed that with the cooperation of Ye Shizi and King Jing, if the Sixth Prince really wanted to do something, he would be able to stop it in time. He

just wanted to stay by King Jing's side and get first-hand information just in case. He thought King Jing would take him with him, but King Jing never took out the crystal bottle.

Without the crystal bottle, it meant that he would not be taken away. If he could not enter the palace with King Jing, he would definitely not be able to enter the palace with his own strength.

Li Yu swung his tail and jumped from the crystal fish tank to the teacup. After jumping several times, he wanted to jump onto the crystal bottle placed horizontally on the table, but the bottle was polished and smooth. The little carp with water stains just jumped up, but before it could stabilize, it slipped off the bottle and almost hit the ground with its head.

King Jing was quick-witted and caught the fish and put it into the petal-shaped teacup nearby.

Li Yu: Oh, if you don’t put him in the bottle, is King Jing determined not to take him with you?

Li Yu jumped again. This time he bravely jumped onto King Jing’s shoulder and clung to King Jing’s robe with his fins.

He felt like he had turned into a handsome eagle, standing on his master's shoulder to protect him from the wind and rain. In fact, the wet fish fins soon rubbed King Jing's shoulders wet.

King Jing: "..."

Li Yu fluttered on King Jing's shoulder: Ah, that's not the case!

King Jing wiped the water drops on his cheeks and picked up the fish.

Li Yu had been King Jing's pet for so long, and he knew that King Jing was unhappy. King Jing rarely picked him up by the head of the fish, and every time he did so, it was when something unpleasant happened.

So was the master angry?

The little carp that made the mistake tried to hook the other's finger with the tip of its tail in a flattering way, but it couldn't hook it because its head was pinched, so it could only rub the other's palm instead.

King Jing: "..."

King Jing thought the little fish wanted to go out and play. Maybe it was because he took the fish with him wherever he went recently, so the fish thought that there was something to play with every day.

But he couldn't take it with him tonight. He and Ye Qinghuan were very likely to fight with the Second Prince's men. It would be inconvenient to take the fish with him, and the fish itself would feel uncomfortable. King

Jing originally planned to entrust the fish to Wang Xi temporarily, but the fish didn't just jump onto the crystal bottle, it also jumped onto his shoulder.

Humph, it seems that he is too pampered, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger...

King Jing complained about the fish in his heart, thinking that if he left the fish in the mansion, it might be stolen again when he left. Anyway, he had to use the palace manpower for this trip, and he had to go to Jingtai Palace. Why not take the fish to Jingtai Palace for a few hours and ask Wang Xi to go with him.

King Jing sighed silently, resignedly stuffed the fish into the crystal bottle, and changed his outer robe.

Li Yu, who was able to enter the palace despite making mistakes: Aaaaaa, the plan works!

King Jing brought the fish into the palace and met Ye Qinghuan at the palace gate. He took the crystal bottle and Ye Qinghuan also held Xiongfeng's chain.

Ye Qinghuan smiled and said, "I knew you would bring the fish. I also brought Xiongfeng. We will be busy with business later, so let Xiongfeng and Xiaoyu keep each other company."

Li Yu: ... No way? ?

He also has business to do, not to keep company with dogs!

Ye Qinghuan had just finished speaking when Xiongfeng excitedly stretched out his dog head and poked the crystal bottle with the tip of his nose.

Although the crystal bottle is larger than a teacup, it feels like Xiongfeng can still hold the crystal bottle with his mouth wide open. The crystal bottle is narrow and thin. When Xiongfeng licked the bottle, Li Yu always felt that the dog's teeth were suddenly much closer to him. Although he

was very familiar with Xiongfeng, Li Yu was still a little nervous.

Prince Jing handed the crystal bottle to Wang Xi, who had already cleared out the blue and white porcelain fish tank that the little carp had stayed in before in Jingtai Palace, and put the fish in it.

Li Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and only then did he feel safe.

Before entering the palace, Prince Jing and Ye Qinghuan had agreed to first ensure the safety of Princess Jin Jue, and not let the Second Prince really harm her.

But Princess Jin Jue had no friendship with the two of them, so it was not convenient to send someone directly. Inspired by the letter, Prince Jing simply wrote an unsigned letter to Princess Jin Jue, saying that someone was plotting to harm the princess, and the idea was from Prince Jing, and that Ye Qinghuan would deliver it personally. Anyway, Prince Ye was recently in charge of the safety of Prince Jin Jue and the little princess, so he could deliver the letter himself without anyone noticing.

It is said that King Jin Jue was furious when he received the letter and summoned his confidants to study the letter for a whole night. Because he did not know what the letter meant, King Jin Jue had to order the accompanying expert guards to guard the princess at all times, even when she entered the palace to thank the emperor.

The emperor did not know the reason and thought that King Jin Jue was too cautious and the palace was still quite safe, but this was just a small matter and the emperor was too lazy to restrict King Jin Jue on this.

Nowadays, Princess Jin Jue is often followed by 16 experts, and this is still visible. It is estimated that there are many more than this.

Once Princess Jin Jue is safe, the second prince's plan will not succeed.

A few days ago, the Second Prince's men sneaked into the Cheng'en Mansion under Ye Qinghuan's nose. In order to give the Second Prince a great gift, Ye Qinghuan picked a special sword and deliberately let the sword be stolen, so that the Second Prince would mistakenly believe that everything was planned.

After King Jing and Ye Qinghuan settled their pets, they were waiting.

Not long after, the confidant reported that someone of unknown origin tried to approach Princess Jin Jue, but was discovered by Princess Jin Jue's guards, caught and beaten.

King Jing and Ye Qinghuan looked at each other, and they both guessed that this must be someone sent by the Second Prince to lure Princess Jin Jue.

"It's time to go." Ye Qinghuan said softly.

It's time to go to Yanyu Pavilion to meet the Second Prince.

King Jing nodded happily, touched Xiao Liyu's head again, and walked into the night with his people and Ye Qinghuan.

Li Yu watched King Jing leave, and stopped in the fish tank, quietly analyzing the current situation. Why didn't the Sixth Prince take action?

It was probably because King Jing was not with Chu Yanyu. The Cheng'en Mansion was a help that the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince had not yet won, so there was no need to risk getting rid of it.

So this should be just the Second Prince's one-man show, although he didn't quite understand it. The Sixth Prince had retreated, so why did the Second Prince still implement this plan?

Perhaps narrow-minded and short-sighted people would make similar decisions at any time.

Li Yu was thinking that he could only wait for news in Jingtai Palace, when he suddenly heard a slight click. Xiong Feng, who was lying near the fish tank and seemed to be asleep, raised his head alertly.

...It's not Wang Xi.

Li Yu still had some impression of Wang Xi's footsteps, and the sound came from the window.

Wang Xi was in Jingtai Palace, and there was no way he could climb

through the window. With the help of a little candlelight in the room, he saw a black shadow jumping into the window.

Who is it?

Li Yu immediately thought of the female assassin from before, and his body trembled.

Xiong Feng was worthy of being a dog to protect fish, and he immediately barked. The black shadow lingered in front of the table for a while and was about to come over. Xiong Feng rushed up and bravely bit the man's hand, causing the man unbearable pain.

"What happened?"

Wang Xi's voice came over, and the surrounding guards were also alarmed. The black shadow saw that the situation was not good, and immediately covered his hands and turned back along the same route.

Wang Xi was very upset that he failed to catch the man. Fortunately, the fish and the dog were fine. Wang Xi took a box of fish food from the table with relief and wanted to feed the two masters.

Xiong Feng's tail was wagging so happily. Wang Xi poured the fish food into a jade plate. Xiong Feng was about to take it. Li Yu remembered that the black shadow had been touching the table for a while, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

Li Yu immediately swung his tail and hit a blue bead that he often played with in the fish tank towards the jade plate. With too much force, the bead actually knocked over the jade plate, and the fish food fell to the ground.

The little carp rarely "loses its temper" like this. Wang Xi was surprised and said, "My little fish master, what's wrong?"

Wang Xi's eyes immediately fell on the fish food on the ground. In a moment, he seemed to have seen something. Could it be...

Wang Xi quickly took out a silver needle from his pocket.

No one would specifically test pets for poison. Wang Xi was also afraid that something would go wrong, so he would rather think too much.

The silver needle was inserted into the fish food. After a while, it was pulled out. The tip of the needle was black.

Li Yu: !!!

The fish food was poisoned! Sob, sob, sob, I was almost poisoned to death. The fish was scared to death!!

Because most of this thing was for him to eat, Li Yu was sure that someone was going to do something to him.
