Afraid that King Jing didn't trust him, Li Yu took the initiative to raise his hands to show him: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have no bad intentions. Are your eyes uncomfortable? You need to clean them up as soon as possible..."
King Jing hesitated. This was the first time they had officially talked to each other. For some reason, he always felt that this young man had an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Even if he thought that this young man was a thief at first, this idea faded a lot after several chases.
Speaking of which, the other party did not have an obvious intention to harm him. If the letter warning Ye Qinghuan was written and sent by this young man, it could even be considered as helping them.
But why did he take Xiaoyu away the first time...
King Jing was about to go see the fish, and Li Yu was frightened. He originally had a pillow that was exactly the same shape as a fish, but it disappeared at some point, and Li Yu never paid attention to it, so - there was nothing in the fish tank now, would the food be exposed?
He also looked at the fish tank with concern, and it happened that Xiongfeng was in front of the fish tank, and the dog's body covered the fish tank tightly.
Li Yu: ...Finally saved.
Because of Xiongfeng's obstruction, and King Jing's eyes were uncomfortable, he could only see a black shadow. Realizing that he could not see the fish clearly now, he changed direction.
Li Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, but King Jing remained unmoved. Li Yu was afraid that he still doubted him, so he hugged King Jing's arm in a hurry: "Don't doubt me, I'm really not a bad person, I just want to help you get the things in your eyes out."
When he was still a fish, he often jumped into King Jing's hands. It was normal to have contact with King Jing. For a while, he thought that the other party was a tyrant monarch and couldn't be persuaded. Hugging his arm was nothing to him. He
was afraid that King Jing would think he was a bad person and wanted to kill him...
Li Yu, who was acting like a fish, hugged him tightly.
King Jing: "..."
It was the first time that King Jing met such a person who didn't play by the rules. He was uncomfortable for a while but couldn't push him away.
Li Yu tempted him, "Let me try it, if it doesn't work, what will you do to me?"
King Jing: "..."
King Jing thought that he shouldn't be able to play any tricks in front of him anyway, so he just gave it a try.
He groped his way to the table and sat down. Li Yu wiped his hands carefully, found a dry towel again, and after making sure there were no water stains, he sat down beside him, gently opened his eyelids, and picked out the powder that had spilled into his eyes bit by bit.
Fortunately, there was not much powder, and Li Yu was quick and quick, and soon picked it all out.
He could see clearly that it was indeed lime powder. Li Yu had learned in the real world that quicklime would dissipate a lot of heat when it melted. If lime powder got into the eyes, it would be very likely to burn the eyes if washed directly with water.
It seems that it was timely for him to become a human to stop King Jing this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fearing that there were still undiscovered remnants, Li Yu blew into King Jing's eyes again with concern.
King Jing was much more relaxed and could see the boy in front of him clearly.
He was so close to him that he could clearly see the boy's drooping eyelashes, the tip of his nose slightly smeared with sweat, and his lips pouting earnestly, the color of his lips was bright red. A
warm breath brushed past, and King Jing realized that he was blowing his eyes, and he immediately looked away, thinking it was rude, but he caught a glimpse of the boy's bare feet, with some water droplets on his round toes.
King Jing's curiosity about this boy was growing like a snowball.
Li Yu was in the room, and he confirmed again and again that there was no more lime powder in King Jing's eyes, and only then could he rinse them with plenty of clean water.
He remembered that there was a washbasin in this room, and the water in the washbasin prepared by the servants was usually dried water, which could be used.
Li Yu wanted to get the wash basin, but King Jing mistakenly thought he was going to run away, and when he stood up, he grabbed his arm tightly.
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu instantly understood what he meant, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Just go get some water, the powder has been taken out, you can wash now."
Who knew that despite such consolation, the other party still refused to let go. King Jing, whose eyes had almost recovered, stood up by himself, grabbed Li Yu, and walked to the wash basin together.
When King Jing stood up, Li Yu could only reach his shoulders. Li Yu was thinking about how to get King Jing to sit back, but King Jing lowered his head slightly at this moment, looking at Li Yu with his dark eyes.
...This should be letting him wash, right?
Li Yu also experienced King Jing's stubbornness firsthand. In this awkward posture, he didn't use a wet towel, but kept scooping up water, pouring it into King Jing's eyes, and washing King Jing with the water flow.
After repeating this several times, although the redness and swelling of King Jing's eyes had not subsided, he no longer felt any discomfort.
Li Yu said to him out of caution: "Your Highness, please ask the imperial physician to take a look later. You may still need to apply medicine."
King Jing nodded.
Li Yu looked at him for a moment, and then realized that he had completely exposed his human form in front of King Jing - this was actually nothing, it had happened before anyway, the key was that King Jing was holding him tightly, and he tried to pull his hand out several times but failed. He could only maintain his human form for half an hour. What if he turned into a live fish in a while?
He had to find a way to get King Jing away quickly, or get himself away!
As soon as King Jing's eyes recovered, he kept observing the young man in front of him, moving his gaze from his face to his clothes. This time, the young man showed off his two white arms, and was wrapped in circles of strange cloth, almost covering his knees. His calves were bare, and his delicate ankles dangled casually.
King Jing couldn't help but wonder, why does this person always dress so...strangely?
Who are you?
King Jing dipped the water in the nearby basin and wrote on the table. There are many questions to ask, and this is the first and easiest one.
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu shook his head, pretending that he didn't understand.
It's not that he didn't want to say it, but that he didn't exist in the book. Anyway, there was no such person. If he lied, he would have to go through the trouble of making up for it, so it would be better not to say anything.
Maybe, Li Yu suddenly had an idea, maybe if he remained silent, King Jing would lose his patience and leave the room?
He was worried that he would hear the countdown to maintain his human form in the next moment, which would be terrible.
Li Yu's heart was actually in a mess, but he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
Seeing that he did not answer, King Jing continued to write questions instead of questions.
Why are you here?
Why did you save me?
...
Li Yu repeatedly resisted the urge to talk to King Jing and continued to shake his head.
King Jing frowned. He asked so many questions, but Li Yu didn't answer any of them. Could it be that he couldn't understand?
Yes, King Jing recalled the letter Ye Qinghuan received. The handwriting on it was very bad. He was originally wondering how there could be such bad handwriting in the world. It turned out that this person...
couldn't understand, so he couldn't write?
King Jing glanced at Xiong Feng. Xiong Feng didn't react much to the appearance of this young man. He must be very familiar with him, so he could use Xiong Feng to send the letter...
King Jing was comparing and analyzing bit by bit in his heart. The constant scrutiny from him made Li Yu's scalp numb.
He felt that he could no longer pretend and was about to run away. At this moment, Eunuch Wang Xi, who had gone to summon the imperial physician, came and knocked on the door.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the imperial physician is here!"
There is always a way out. Hearing Wang Xi's call, Li Yu's eyes lit up.
Prince Jing was very sensitive and caught his suddenly relaxed expression, and immediately thought that he was planning to escape.
Prince Jing smiled. It had come to this, how could he let someone escape again?
The imperial physician was outside the door, and no one dared to enter without the king's order.
When Wang Xi entered the room to ask for instructions, he saw Prince Jing sitting leisurely in a chair, next to him was a strange boy wrapped up like a tube.
Because Li Yu was dressed very boldly, Eunuch Wang was so shocked that he mistook the tube for a quilt, and he couldn't recognize him at first.
Eunuch Wang was roaring in his heart, but he was just looking for the imperial physician, how could another little devil come to seduce His Highness? But looking at His Highness's face, it seemed, as if, he was not too angry?
- Prince Jing was not only not too angry, but he was also being plotted against, and his mood was strangely good at the moment.
Eunuch Wang, who always puts King Jing first in everything, thought quickly. In fact, as long as His Highness is happy, it’s not a problem for the little demon. It’s better not to ask too much.
Wang Xi pretended not to see Li Yu and said to King Jing respectfully: "The imperial physician is waiting outside. Does Your Highness want to call him?"
King Jing did not nod, but stood up, straightened his clothes and was about to go out. Wang Xi followed King Jing closely to take care of him.
Before King Jing went out, he deliberately glanced at Li Yu.
Li Yu did not understand for a moment. He thought he was freed and breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally change back with peace of mind.
He walked to the door worriedly and pried open the crack to look out. The door was not closed tightly, and he saw that Wang Xi had set up a seat outside the door, only one step away from the door. King Jing sat steadily, and the imperial physician lowered his head beside him, examining King Jing’s pulse and checking his eyes.
Li Yu: “…”
Damn, can this guy be any more confusing? He transformed to save him, not to let him trap himself in the house!
He had seen this house before, there was not even a window, only a door. It was supposed to be the safest place, but now it has become the most inescapable cage!
Li Yu turned to Xiong Feng and sobbed: Good Xiong Feng, now only you can help me...
Xiong Feng, who was completely at a loss:? ? ? After
the imperial physician checked the pulse of King Jing and looked at his eyes, he praised: "Fortunately, Your Highness handled it properly. The eyes are no longer affected. I will prescribe a prescription for improving eyesight and detoxification later. Your Highness will have nothing to worry about after taking it."
King Jing curled his lips. He also felt that the young man had handled it very well before.
King Jing ordered Wang Xi to reward the imperial physician. After the imperial physician left, King Jing wanted to go back to his room. Wang Xi thought he was anxious to meet the little goblin in the room, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Highness, your Highness is not here today, and someone broke into Jingtai Palace and poisoned the house."
Wang Xi told him everything, including how the intruder sneaked into Jingtai Palace, how he was bitten by Xiong Feng, how the fish food was poisoned, how the little fish master knocked over the jade plate, and fortunately the fish and the dog were fine.
Wang Xi not only informed King Jing, but also feared that the little goblin in the house came from unknown sources, so he wanted to use this opportunity to remind his master to be more vigilant.
King Jing would have listened to it, but when he heard it, his face was covered with frost and snow, and he was more angry than if he had been ambushed.
When Wang Xi mentioned the silver needle changing color, King Jing immediately remembered the arsenic hidden by the second prince in the mansion. It might be that this guy was not satisfied with framing the Cheng En Mansion, and he even spared the fish he raised!
This account must be settled sooner or later.
King Jing also remembered the masked man who attacked him when he returned to Jingtai Palace. This man's hand seemed to be injured. Could it be the same person who was bitten by Xiong Feng as Wang Xi said?
...It should be Mu Tianzhao's minions.
After returning to Jingtai Palace, he has not seen Xiaoyu in person for various reasons. I think the fish and the boy are still in the house...
Since the boy wiped his eyes, he subconsciously didn't think that the other party would do anything to the fish.
Wang Xi called "Your Highness", and King Jing motioned him to wait a moment and walked into the house.
Before opening the door, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling, even though he knew that it was impossible for anyone to escape this time.
King Jing didn't think any more and pushed the door open decisively, only to see that
the room was empty, with pieces of cloth scattered all over the floor. The young man who was supposed to be waiting for him had disappeared again.
This was not right.
King Jing's temples were throbbing. Although he had left, he had been guarding the door. There were no windows here, so where could he escape to?
After experiencing similar situations several times, King Jing felt it necessary to change his thinking, no matter how ridiculous this idea sounded...
since he couldn't escape, then it was there, but... it should be in a place he couldn't think of for the time being.
King Jing walked to the piece of cloth, recalled the various things he had encountered with the young man, and suddenly found many terrifying things to think about carefully.
When the young man appeared to help him, he did not hear the door ring, which meant that the young man did not enter through the door. Could it be that this man had been in the house for a long time, but he did not notice him, just like now, he could not find him?
In fact, it was not that there was no sound at all at that time. King Jing's hearing was always very good. What he heard at that time was...
the flapping of the fish's tail.
The small fish often jumped in front of him, and he was confident that he would not mistake the sound of the tail
swinging. King Jing could not help but look at the fish tank. The blue and white porcelain fish tank of Jingtai Palace was not as clear as the crystal fish tank of King Jing's Mansion. To his surprise, the small fish that should have stayed at the bottom of the tank was lying on the edge of the tank, with its back to him, and its tail swinging back and forth.
Thinking that his fish was almost gone, King Jing's mood became a little gloomy again.
He walked over and was about to touch the fish, but the fish hurriedly jumped into the water.
King Jing: “…”
King Jing still reached out and touched the fish's back. Normally, the fish would wrap the tip of its tail around his fingers, but today it just raised its head and looked at him listlessly.
King Jing thought that the fish must have been frightened.
While comforting the fish, King Jing continued his interrupted thoughts and pondered the whereabouts of the boy.
This room is cramped, and everything is clearly visible, so it is impossible for him to hide no matter what.
King Jing's mind moved, and he counted the places where the boy had been. Why was it always...
in his room?
This time when he returned to Jingtai Palace, only his confidant and Ye Qinghuan knew why this boy would also... meet him in Jingtai Palace, and the boy was dressed like this, it was impossible for him to come in through the palace gate.
King Jing stood up, and his cloud-patterned boots stepped on the cloth on the ground again.
He picked up the cloth, and after moving it away, a pool of water stains was revealed underneath the cloth.
He remembered that the boy's feet were wet, and thought of tracking whether there were any watermarks in the house. After careful identification, he found some that went to the washbasin, some to the desk, and some that were left by the door, but back and forth, the wettest traces gathered to form a path.
He continued to search along this path, and finally saw a large black-haired dog.
Ye Qinghuan's dog barked excitedly and wagged its tail at him. The place with the most water stains was sat under Xiongfeng.
King Jing was stunned, thinking that he was really confused, and these were the traces left by Xiongfeng.
Li Yu kept staring at King Jing's figure, very anxious, until King Jing left the room, Li Yu felt that he was going to be nervous.
But there was really nothing he could do, for fear of being noticed by King Jing, he had no way to remove the water stains on the ground, and could only let his masculinity take its toll.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you... The little carp silently apologized to his master.
King Jing walked out of the room, his expression solemn.
He took away the cloth that the boy was wrapped in, on which there were several pieces of fish scales glittering.
This was not the first time that fish scales were found on the boy's clothes.
King Jing remembered a detail, when he saw the boy's ankle, he also saw a flash of silver light on his foot.
