Chapter 71



In order to get some more clues, Li Yu leaned close to the crystal wall and listened carefully, but the emperor only mentioned this one sentence, and then there were many other preferences of Empress Xiaohui. Li Yu

understood that the emperor always had sympathy for his son, Prince Jing, because of Empress Xiaohui, and recently even began to let Prince Jing do errands, and he was quite willing to use Prince Jing. The secret cannot be completely revealed, maybe it is not the right time, Prince Jing can be alone with the emperor now, it is the right time to improve his favor.

Therefore, Li Yu did not make any more noise, and followed Prince Jing, listening quietly.

The emperor did not realize that he had been talking for a long time, and came back to his senses from the past, and smiled and said: "Tianchi, do you think I am too long-winded?"

Although the corners of the emperor's lips were hooked, his eyes were very lost.

As a father, he rarely showed such a sad expression in front of his son.

King Jing shook his head, hesitantly stretched out his hand, and covered the back of the emperor's hand.

This was also a rare time for King Jing to show his heartfelt concern for the emperor. This gesture alone made the emperor feel very relieved.

"Tianchi, you... you are very good, I know everything. Zheng Jing has told me about the errand of the Ministry of Works, and you have performed very well."

The emperor patted King Jing on the shoulder and was about to say a few more words when the chief of the guards in front of him came to report: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince came to congratulate."

The emperor glanced at King Jing who was standing beside him. The Cheng'en Mansion was King Jing's maternal family. King Jing should have come to the mansion for the marriage of the Cheng'en Prince and Princess Jin Jue, but what did this marriage have to do with the Sixth

Prince? The Sixth Prince was neither a relative nor an important official, so what kind of congratulations was he saying? Even if the Sixth Prince really came to congratulate, why didn't he arrive early like other guests, but arrived when the wedding was almost over? The emperor himself didn't want to alarm too many people, so he came here temporarily. Why did Mu Tianxiao come later than him?

I'm afraid the congratulations are fake, and the real reason is to show up in front of the emperor.

The emperor saw through the Sixth Prince and said lightly: "He is here, Lord Cheng'en will take care of him, let him go."

The emperor didn't want to go to see the Sixth Prince and meet him.

The emperor talked with Ye Qian for a while and planned to go back to the palace. The Sixth Prince sent a message again, wanting to escort the emperor back to the palace in person.

The emperor agreed this time.

The emperor took Prince Jing with him. Mu Tianxiao was slightly stunned when he saw that it was Prince Jing's companion.

Li Yu had been brought along by Prince Jing. Seeing that the Sixth Prince suffered a loss, he happily wagged his tail. What, I just won't give the emperor to you!

Li Yu was sharp-eyed and noticed that there was a slim woman in a pleated pomegranate skirt standing next to the Sixth Prince. The woman wore a cone hat and a long veil that covered her face. Through the veil, one could still see her watery eyes and a pair of smooth hands outside her long sleeves. Although they could not see her true face, it was enough to arouse the curiosity of the guests, and they could imagine how stunning she was under the veil.

Li Yu did not know who this woman was, but the Sixth Prince had a history of instigating the Third Prince to insert someone. It was clearly the wedding of the Prince of Cheng'en, but he brought a stunning woman, and she did not come earlier or later, but only after the Emperor arrived. This was obviously for the Emperor.

Maybe the Sixth Prince wants to present this woman to the Emperor...

Li Yu recalled that in the original book, when the competition for the throne reached a fever pitch, an unknown beauty concubine presented by the Sixth Prince to the Emperor had whispered a lot to the Emperor and said a lot of good things about the Sixth Prince, but King Jing did not have this advantage.

Now the plot is messed up, could it be that the Sixth Prince's presenting of beauty has jumped into this?

... We have to find a way to get rid of it! This is what Yu is best at!

While Li Yu was thinking of a countermeasure, he heard Mu Tianxiao say, "Father, the journey back to the palace is very tiring. I happened to bring a maid who is good at massage and would like to serve you."

Li Yu: "..."

It seems that Mu Tianxiao still has some shame. He did not directly say in public that this was a beauty to be given to his father and asked the emperor to accept it. He only said that it was a maid who was good at massage. It was up to the emperor whether to accept her or not. He was much smarter than the stupid third prince.

Li Yu followed King Jing and stood on the emperor's side. Under the emperor's nose, he had some concerns and could not rush out of the crystal bottle. He could only think about turning over his belly a little. King Jing would definitely ask the emperor to call people to visit him. When there were too many people around the emperor, he would not have time to care about the beauty brought by the sixth prince.

Li Yu made up his mind and acted. Who knew that his body was no longer the same after he became a koi fish? He had been raised too well recently, so it was more difficult for him to turn his belly up than to move it

back and forth. Li Yu held his breath and tilted the fish slightly. Before he could turn it upside down, the emperor said in surprise: "Tianchi, why is your fish a little crooked?" King

Jing: "..."

In fact, King Jing noticed the fish as soon as it moved.

But Xiaoyu had not drunk alcohol and had not had contact with anyone, so there should be nothing wrong. King Jing suspected that Xiaoyu did it on purpose, just like in the room where Empress Xiaohui had lived just now, the fish kept hitting the crystal wall, as if to make him pay attention. King Jing also thought that Xiaoyu might be reminding him of something.

But he didn't expect that the emperor was also watching his fish.

Before King Jing could say anything, the Emperor said, "I'm afraid King Jing's fish is not feeling well. Someone, come..."

The Emperor ordered the Chief of the Imperial Guard to immediately call the accompanying doctor.

Li Yu: ???

Why does it feel like the Emperor is more anxious than King Jing when he did this?

The fish didn't dare to turn over again, and tried to keep it tilted at the same angle, which was more difficult than lying on its belly.

The two accompanying doctors hurried over. No matter whether they knew how to treat fish or not, they had to know how to treat them in front of the Emperor. The doctors shook their heads and examined the fish for a long time, and then discussed privately for a long time.

After the Sixth Prince asked for instructions, he still smiled. Although he was more capable than the Third Prince, he also experienced the same indifference and embarrassment that the Third Prince had experienced.

The doctor finally said that the fish may have eaten too much, and it was not serious. Li Yu then cooperated and carefully laid the fish flat. The fish fins slowly paddled the water, and the gills puffed up, looking like it was really holding on, to confirm the doctor's words.

The emperor said: "Since the fish is fine, I should return to the palace. Prince Jing can send me off."

The emperor's face was not very good. He only mentioned Prince Jing and did not mention anything else.

Li Yu always felt that the emperor must be angry, but who was he angry with?

He was a little uneasy. Prince Jing took advantage of no one's attention and put his fingers into the bottle, gently touching the fish's spine, one by one, with a soothing intention.

... Yes, Li Yu thought, Prince Jing was right beside him, what else was there to worry about?

The emperor rode on the dragon chariot back to the palace, and King Jing rode his horse behind him to see him off. Before entering the palace, the emperor stopped to look at King Jing's crystal bottle and said with emotion, "Tianchi, I am so sorry for the fish you gave me today."

Li Yu, who had been eavesdropping, asked: What does that mean? Why did the emperor thank Yu?

Could it be that the emperor was indeed angry, but not at someone else, but at the Sixth Prince?

Why?

Thinking of the Sixth Prince's coming out to do something, presenting a beauty, and the time and place when the Sixth Prince presented the beauty, Li Yu suddenly had an idea!

If the Sixth Prince was just flattering the emperor, the emperor might not be angry. If he had sent a beauty to the emperor at ordinary times, the emperor might have accepted it. But the Sixth Prince should never, ever go to the Cheng'en Mansion, the mother's home of Empress Xiaohui, to send someone, and he should not send someone right after the emperor and Prince Jing had just reminisced about Empress Xiaohui. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?

The Sixth Prince's biological mother was not favored, and she had long wanted to offer the beauty to the emperor. She was afraid that sending the beauty directly to the palace would cause many twists and turns, and the emperor might not accept it. So she thought of letting the emperor see the half-covered beauty while the emperor was away incognito, so that he would be interested. However, she did not expect that the emperor would think of the late empress when he came to attend the wedding banquet, otherwise the Sixth Prince would never rush to offer the beauty at this time.

The emperor must be very upset, but he could not refuse the Sixth Prince openly. After all, the Sixth Prince did not offer the beauty openly, in front of the public, and the emperor also urgently needed an excuse to expose the Sixth Prince's behavior. The

only fish that could make a fuss around the emperor was King Jing's fish, so as soon as the fish tilted, the emperor insisted on summoning the imperial physician on this grounds, messing up everything.

Li Yu always thought that he had successfully disrupted the Sixth Prince's beauty trap, but in fact, it was the impatient emperor who seized the opportunity and messed with the Sixth Prince himself.

Looking back on his original plan, it was not without omissions. If King Jing had not discovered it in time, or if King Jing had discovered it but did not ask the emperor to summon the imperial physician, or if King Jing had asked the emperor but the emperor ignored it...

As long as the emperor wanted to marry a beauty, it would not have a good effect. It should be said that this time his luck was overflowing, and he even encountered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the emperor was in urgent need of an excuse.

Li Yu realized it later: Hey, could this be the luck given by the system?

I remember that the system gave him the luck in three things: slapping the villain in the face, having enough food and clothing, and hitting the target with one shot.

He has been working hard to have enough food and clothing, but his good luck is not obvious. It is easy to understand that he slaps the villain in the face. It should be this kind of time, right?

It seems that the brocade carp trait is still useful.

After seeing the emperor off, Prince Jing returned to the Cheng'en Mansion. It was late at night. The newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber. The guests had almost left, but the Sixth Prince had not left yet.

"Fifth brother, we meet again."

Mu Tianxiao never had a bad temper in front of others. He smiled and bowed to Prince

Jing. Li Yu found that the beauty with a cone hat and a veil was still beside the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince probably didn't realize why he was ignored by the Emperor. The reason why he greeted Prince Jing was probably to ask him about it.

The little carp immediately turned into a fighting fish, and its tail swept towards the Sixth Prince frantically: Oh, master, old attacker, don't pay attention to him!

Prince Jing nodded calmly to the Sixth Prince and walked closer. The Sixth Prince was about to bring up the topic of the Emperor's mood, but Prince Jing looked past him without even glancing at him.

Mu Tianxiao: "..."

Mu Tianxiao failed to call out to Prince Jing, and his eyes fell on the fish that was twisting and turning in the crystal bottle Prince Jing carried with him.

Li Yu also soon realized that Mu Tianxiao's cold eyes were on the fish.

Li Yu froze and quickly turned to the side where Prince Jing's sleeves could cover the fish.

As long as the fish didn't look at the Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince would not look at the fish either.

Li Yu held his breath and waited for a long while before secretly looking back. The Sixth Prince had turned around.

Li Yu wanted to look again, but suddenly the crystal bottle was blocked.

Prince Jing deliberately stopped and stretched out his hand to turn the fish around so that the fish could only see himself.
