There are spies everywhere in the palace, and he has a way to kill the Fourth Prince.
Yan Jiyuan looked up at the chessboard in the pavilion. The black pieces had gradually eroded the chessboard. The Fourth Prince was a very useful chess piece.
If we act rashly, not only will the palace be on high alert, but the incompetent emperor will also be like a frightened bird.
By then, every movement he makes will be magnified, and it will be even more difficult to fatten the fish.
Gu Xu wanted to think of a good idea, not asking for perfection, but just to protect him.
His eyes were gloomy and his expression did not change at all. It was hard to tell that the Crown Prince was still feeling anxious.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a scale under Fat Fish's eye. Unlike the scale that changed from gold to red, this scale itself was red.
Red as drops of blood.
Yan Jiyuan's gaze remained fixed on this place for a long time, and suddenly a dull pain arose in his heart.
Perhaps it was the cold night that had caught his cold, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I cry in this life, and remember the next life. You, fat fish, look like you have a teardrop mole."
When he said this, he deliberately sounded joking, but his mind was filled with so many thoughts, mixed with dull pain and panic, that he couldn't hide it at all.
What happened to me? Why is my mood fluctuating so much?
Yan Jiyuan was deep in thought, the wind constantly picking up the hem of his clothes.
With the bright moon as a witness, he guarded the little fat boy all night until the fog rolled in and the east was not yet bright.

If you have something on your mind, you won’t be able to sleep for long.
The fourth prince finished washing up early and went to see his mother again.
In order to win the emperor's favor, Concubine Lin got up early every day to make health-preserving soup for the emperor. She was an excellent cook and had a gentle appearance, like a flower blooming in the wind.
The emperor loved her very much and gave her half of the power of the six palaces.
"Rong'er, the wind blew all night yesterday, why did you get up so early today?" Concubine Lin asked in a soft voice.
The Fourth Prince looked around, and the palace servants tactfully withdrew.
He bowed and said, "Mother, I would like to borrow a few men from you."
Concubine Lin's aura suddenly changed. She looked at her son and asked, "What do you want people to do? Aren't there enough people to serve you?"
"Your son thinks that the Crown Prince should be deposed..." Before he could finish his words, he was slapped by Concubine Lin.
The gold filigree armor left a scratch on his face, but Concubine Lin paid no heed. She sternly declared, "Calling him that for so long, it becomes a habit. Mother has been telling you for a long time now, no matter where you are, always call him Your Highness the Crown Prince! If you lack magnanimity and respect for others, the courtiers will not see you. His Majesty has many children, so how can you possibly rise to prominence?"
The Fourth Prince's eyes showed no emotion at all. He lowered his head and said, "Father does not like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Concubine Lin was finally satisfied. She sarcastically said, "No matter how much His Majesty dislikes it, it depends on the opinion of the Minister. And the Minister has to take care of the one at the border. We shouldn't care about how he treats the Queen and her son. We have performed the proper etiquette. What happens in the future? Mother is counting on you."
The Fourth Prince responded, "Yes."
Seeing him so obedient, Concubine Lin was also relieved and returned to her initial gentle appearance: "You child, you are so spoiled. Mother will assign you a few more palace maids."
The mother and son sang in unison, their voices neither too loud nor too low, just the right volume to be heard outside.
After talking for a while, the Fourth Prince walked out without looking around.
The stinging pain on his face was commonplace to him. As the glaring sunlight shone on his face, the Fourth Prince slowly moved his facial muscles, revealing a chilling smile.
"Someone come!"
The palace guards rushed forward like pugs.
"I want to go to Taiye Lake to play in the next few days. Send a few more people to watch over me. I don't want to be disturbed."
He whispered a few more words to his personal attendants, and the palace servants retreated.
The Fourth Prince stood in the outer hall with an unclear expression, filled with hatred and pleasure.
"Hide it well. If I find it..."
