Li Yu learned about Master Kong's visit to the palace, and was lying on the edge of the blue and white porcelain fish tank, staring at King Jing angrily.

King Jing's injury had just healed a little, so he took out an ancient book on cultivating immortals and read it in front of Yu.

Li Yu didn't know what was wrong with the tyrant monarch. The male protagonist of the palace novel was actually interested in cultivating immortals and read the book so seriously. Li Yu felt a sense of crisis in his heart, fearing that if he didn't pay attention, King Jing would become an immortal.

Anyway, he had to deal with the enemy and it was not the first time he disturbed King Jing's cultivation. He originally wanted to wet King Jing's book as usual. He had wet many books of this kind, and King Jing had never blamed him. Li Yu was always fearless. But at this moment, he saw that the hand wrapped in gauze of King Jing was a little hesitant. If Yu jumped directly, what would happen if King Jing's wound was accidentally touched by water?

The imperial physician repeatedly warned that the wound must not be touched by water. Li Yu did not want the tyrant monarch's injury to worsen and get a fever. It would be exhausting for the fish.

Otherwise, hide the book secretly when he turns into a human, or report directly to the prince? Wang Xi should not want his master to cultivate immortality, right?

Li Yu was planning to ruin King Jing's cultivation plan, when Chief Steward Luo came to Jingtai Palace to pass on the emperor's message, saying that Zen Master Liaokong had arrived, and the emperor hoped that King Jing could meet Liaokong.

Chief Steward Luo whispered something more in King Jing's ear, and King Jing glanced at Xiaoyu calmly and agreed.

Li Yu was a little flustered when he heard the name of Lekong. If he remembered correctly, Master Lekong was the abbot of Huguo Temple. In the original book, he was a high monk with a transcendent status. King Jing later became a tyrant. Lekong once came forward to persuade him. Although the blackened King Jing did not listen, he failed to kill Lekong. This shows that Lekong has some real skills.

However, Lekong in the original book came out to persuade King Jing. Now King Jing is fine, why does Lekong still want to see King Jing?

Li Yu did not consider his own reasons at all. He thought that King Jing had read a lot of introductory books on cultivating immortals. Could it be that he changed his mind and did not want to cultivate immortals, but wanted to see through the world and become a monk with Lekong?

For the male protagonist Gong Tingwen, who does not play by the rules and always intends to cultivate immortals, this is also possible!

Seeing that Prince Jing was about to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Li Yu immediately jumped out of the fish tank and jumped onto the crystal bottle. He wanted to follow him! Li Yu secretly made up his mind that if Prince Jing really asked Lekong to become a monk, he would dare to make trouble in the Palace of Heavenly Purity again and ruin his monastic life.

Prince Jing had no intention of leaving him behind. While he was putting the small fish into the bottle, he felt that the carp spirit was inexplicably murderous this time.

When Prince Jing arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the emperor and Lekong had just finished their greetings. Prince Jing saluted the emperor, and Lekong also stepped forward and nodded slightly to Prince Jing.

The crystal bottle was in the sleeve of Prince Jing. Li Yu also peeked out from his sleeve. Liaokong was over seventy years old, with white hair and beard, but he was still energetic and high-spirited. He was completely different from the fake monk that the Sixth Prince had found. He was the type of monk who was obviously an eminent monk.

Li Yu only took a look. Liaokong cast his sharp eyes towards Li Yu intentionally or unintentionally.

Damn, this is a real eminent monk. Will he see through him and turn into a book-crossing fish?

Li Yu was startled and dared not peek again.

Prince Jing subconsciously protected his sleeves to block Li Yu's sight.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, long time no see." Liaokong said with a smile.

Prince Jing frowned and nodded.

The emperor was very excited. Luokong's arrival reminded him of some old things. The emperor rubbed his hands and said, "Tianchi, do you still remember Luokong? When you were young, you accidentally fell into the water and had a high fever. It was very dangerous. The imperial physician was helpless. Luokong was in the palace at that time. I had no choice but to ask him to come and see you. Thanks to him knowing an ancient recipe that can reduce your fever. It was also he who told me that you lacked water in your life. So I thought about changing your name and praying for you. After that, you got better day by day and even recovered."

The emperor said with emotion, "It is said that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. I still remember the pool where you fell into the water. At that time, the pool was sparkling with golden light, which was very dazzling. And because of Luokong's words, I re-chosen the word "Chi" for you."

King Jing: "..."

This was the first time King Jing heard the emperor talk about the past. Before the age of three, his real name was Tianjing, and later it was Tianchi. After he became an adult, he was crowned as a king, and the emperor specially gave him the title "Jing", returning the word that originally belonged to him. But after a high fever that year, he no longer remembered the cause and effect, let alone this story.

Unable to peek, Li Yu, who had been eavesdropping: "..."

Li Yu was confused. Could it be that what happened in the illusion was not completely illusory, but also happened to King Jing?

According to the emperor's words, it should be true. The little fat boy did fall into the water when he was young, and then had a high fever.

But he was in the illusion, but the real King Jing was not so lucky. He probably drifted to the shore later. Li Yu recalled the fat boy's round body, which was really too difficult.

The situation must have been very dangerous at that time. Even the imperial physician was helpless to treat the high fever. For a two or three-year-old child, it was a matter of life and death. The emperor was afraid that he really had no other choice. In the end, he did not find a doctor but a monk. He changed King Jing's name and prayed for blessings. It was also a last resort...

At this time, Li Yu had not yet reacted to the pool of golden light that the emperor specifically mentioned. He was just thinking about how there could be light in the water. It was probably reflected from somewhere.

And King Jing's original name was Tianjing, which he actually guessed.

Fortunately, Kong reminded the emperor. Li Yu thought frivolously that if the emperor was too free and changed King Jing's name to Tianguang or Tianjin, it would be far less pleasant than Tianchi.

Although King Jing no longer remembered what happened that year, he still cupped his hands and thanked Kong after the emperor's deliberate reminder.

Liaokong said modestly: "I am just doing a small favor. It is the blessing of God that Prince Jing is a man of good fortune."

"Master, please do not be modest." After some pleasantries, the emperor finally got to the point: "Now I have to trouble you to take another look. Prince Jing has recently raised a fish. I think it is quite good."

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu realized later that it was not Prince Jing who wanted to become a monk. The emperor asked Prince Jing to meet Liaokong just for the fish.

The little carp suddenly felt a little uneasy. He was not afraid of other people, but would a monk like Liaokong find out that he was a fish who traveled through the book at a glance?

Li Yu decided to hide it if possible and tried his best to pretend to be an ordinary food carp, and never mess around under Liaokong's nose.

After the emperor spoke, King Jing calmly took out the crystal bottle from his sleeve and opened the bottle cap in front of the emperor and Liao Kong.

When Liao Kong saw the black fish with gold in the crystal bottle, he was lost in thought.

Under his gaze, the little carp was also very obedient and seldom swam. King Jing was afraid that the little fish would be nervous when seeing strangers, so he gently touched the fish's spine with his uninjured left hand.

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu pretended to be indifferent and did not cooperate at all, blowing a bubble in a haughty manner.

King Jing: "…………"

Lekong saw everything that King Jing and the fish did. Lekong pondered for a moment and said to the emperor: "Your Highness, this fish is indeed extraordinary in my opinion."

Lekong paused and was about to continue speaking when he quickly felt two burning gazes, one from the cold-faced King Jing and the seemingly ignorant little carp in King Jing's hand.

Pets really follow their owners.

Lekong smiled secretly and continued: "I have never encountered such a situation in my life. This fish..."

He deliberately kept it a secret, and as expected, King Jing's gaze was about to stun him.

Kong Kong, a man in his seventies, suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He smacked it slightly and said: "This fish should be after the koi carp. It doesn't look like it now, but it will look more and more like it in the future."

Li Yu:! ! !

Li Yu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the eminent monk to have such a wise opinion. If you say this person didn't see it, why did you just say that he will "become more and more like a koi"? If you say this person did, why didn't you expose him?

King Jing gave him a cold look. As long as he didn't say Xiaoyu was a monster or a dragon, it was all the same to him.

The emperor was stunned for a while, and asked, "Is this fish really a koi?"

"...Yes." Lekong nodded, and said seriously, "But this kind of koi is extremely rare. It is also very lucky for His Royal Highness King Jing to encounter it."

The emperor trusted Lekong. Lekong's words matched the calculations of Qin Tianjian. The emperor was finally relieved and said with a smile, "No wonder I think it is a good omen. It turns out that it is the koi queen."

The emperor was even more disdainful of the third prince who even framed a koi.

Li Yu still tried his best to pretend that he was an ordinary carp, secretly observing the movements of the emperor and Lekong.

Liaokong always paused between his words, acting like a senior monk, which frightened Li Yu several times. However, in the end, since he said in front of the emperor that he was a koi, it didn’t matter what he changed in the future, right?

This Liaokong looked scary to the fish, but in the end he helped the fish. Fortunately, he had passed the emperor and King Jing without knowing it, and felt that he was not far away from the reward of getting the koi branch line. The emperor and Liaokong had a

very pleasant conversation, and King Jing listened silently. When Liaokong said goodbye, the emperor ordered King Jing to see him off in person.

King Jing did not take the little carp with him this time, but asked Wang Xi to send the crystal bottle back to the bedroom first. He still had many questions that he needed to ask Liaokong, but he couldn't let the carp spirit know.

After dismissing his attendants, King Jing bowed deeply.

Liaokong smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I am glad to have fulfilled your mission."

King Jing looked up and smiled at Liaokong. It turned out that when King Jing found out that Mu Tianxiao intended to fabricate the rumor of "transforming into a dragon", he had already thought that things might get out of control. The longer this rumor dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be. The only way was to cut the Gordian knot and find someone who could convince the emperor and completely overturn the rumor.

But King Jing was a little unsure at first about who to find.

Although Sun Zhushi of Qintianjian was trusted by the emperor, there was no guarantee that the emperor would not be confused by rumors and waver, so he could not rely solely on Sun Zhushi. King Jing quickly thought of the Zen master Lekong, who was the abbot of Huguo Temple. Huguo Temple was established by the royal family, and the emperor had no doubt about Lekong's character. If he had any doubts, he would definitely find Lekong, so he might as well ask Lekong for help directly.

Everyone knew that Lekong did not care about worldly affairs and basically only obeyed the emperor, but they did not know that Lekong had a life-and-death friendship with King Jing's maternal grandfather, Lao Chengen. Although he was a person that only the emperor could summon, he would also run around for his best friend.

When Lekong accepted the emperor's request to help the seriously ill fifth prince, it was also partly out of consideration for the old Cheng'en. King Jing had known this for a long time. The reason why he could successfully ask Lekong for help this time was also due to the mediation of the old Cheng'en. King Jing had already decided on a response plan with Lekong. All the things he did in front of the emperor just now were just a show to dispel the emperor's suspicion.

There was no one else around, and Lekong praised again and again: "Your Highness is so shrewd, and you will have a bright future in the future."

King Jing thought he was just teasing, lowered his eyes and bowed.

The following conversation was top secret. King Jing took out a piece of paper and pen that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Lekong. Lekong picked up the pen and wrote quickly: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that something will go wrong if you keep him by your side?"

Lekong did not say who this "he" was, but King Jing and Lekong knew it well.

King Jing wrote without thinking: He won't hurt me.

Lekong nodded. He could also feel that King Jing's fish was no ordinary carp, but it was not a demon. Lekong didn't feel any evil thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to help King Jing and cover up this special fish.

Lekong said: "Your Highness, since your mind is as clear as a mirror, why do you need me to solve your doubts?"

King Jing wrote: Master, do you know why he came?

Lekong looked at King Jing deeply and said: "I may not know other things, but I know a little about this. A few years ago, when Your Highness accidentally fell into the water, I was in the palace and found that a black fish with golden color swam in the pond where Your Highness accidentally fell."

King Jing: !!!

King Jing's eyes surged, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, he hurriedly wrote something, and then crossed it out again.

King Jing calmed down, and finally wrote: What is this fish like?

Lekong said: "It is the same as the fish your Highness is raising now, all black, but with golden scales on the belly and tail, but it is slightly larger."

King Jing was silent, size was not a problem at all, his little fish had grown a circle not long ago, and what Lekong saw was probably the little fish.

Could it be that the little fish had come to find him when he was young?

Lekong continued: "The pond your Highness fell into was very deep, and it was impossible for a two or three-year-old child to swim out by himself... Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?"

"Let me put it this way." Lekong smiled and said, "I don't know what 'he' is, but 'he' must have come because of your Highness."

- Came for him?

King Jing was deeply moved, and suddenly remembered the scene when the little fish turned back to its original form and lay on his chest. He felt a sense of déjà vu, and also the first time when he picked up the dying fish abandoned by the cat.

What was he thinking at that time, and why did he stop for a fish?

Because he had heard something hitting the ground gently.

This was... the sound of the fish's tail hitting the ground. Don't ask him how he knew, these seemed to be in his memory.

The sound of the fish's tail hitting the ground meant that the fish was still alive, and then the sound disappeared, and the fish was about to die.

So he went to save the fish without thinking twice.
