Death is such a terrible thing, so terrible that the little fat boy shudders at the mere mention of this word.
Separation is a burden in life that he cannot bear.
The fat baby endured for so long and finally waited for a reincarnation, but the fork in fate required him to make another choice.
Fish are not stupid.
The father's earnest admonitions and the otomo's tearful pleas all indicate the grave consequences that will befall the fish if its miraculous manifestations are revealed.
Will he die? The little fat boy was a little stunned.
In this world, he came to be the boy of his father, although there were many differences.
But in the dead of night, when the little fat cub turned over on his belly and floated with the waves, he would also inquire about the situation of his loved ones.
The hated emperor had many sons, and Xiao Yuan was the one who was hated.
Otomo said that his father's youth was difficult.
My father said that people must have rights to protect others.
However, now they have nothing, like clay Buddhas.
The little fat cub, with tears in his eyes, hid behind a mossy rock and stopped wagging his tail.
Otomo, please stop looking at the fish like that—with such a heartbreaking, fish-suffocating look.
Wu Zhonghe's hair was grabbed, and his forehead was covered with tears, cold sweat and blood.
In severe pain, he kept his eyes open.
His bloodshot eyes were filled with pleading.
The little fat kid swallowed a big mouthful of water. What should I do? I can't just lash out at him.
So many people, too many people.
I don't want Otomo to die.
The little fat cub's scales were burning hot, as if he was sweating. He clung tightly to the cold stone, as if this could ease the heartache a little.
Others are the butchers and I am the meat.
The little fat boy realized this with despair. He had never felt this way before.
Because he was born at the top of life, the tyrant that everyone feared built up momentum for him, the people built a shrine for him, and the system he carried with him helped him with all his might.
Being powerless in the face of death and being unable to resist are two completely different choices.
They have well-equipped guards, but my father doesn't even have a palace servant to serve him, and I am just a fish.
"Tell me, where is this thing?" The fourth prince kicked Wu Zhonghe, pinching the scales and exposing him to the sunlight.
The brilliant colors are dazzling.
Something the Crown Prince uses to please his father?
The Fourth Prince thought so, but the next moment he rejected this idea without hesitation, because a man as arrogant as Yan Jiyuan would not bother to do such a thing.
That is the beloved thing you raise.
Although he couldn't understand how a lame eunuch was related to the crown prince, he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.
His only answer was a weak gasp.
"Keeping your mouth shut?" The Fourth Prince smiled, his mouth wide open. "Do you think you can hide it? Look at how many people are here. Are the charges of plotting to murder His Majesty enough to fill up the entire Taiye Lake? I am a servant, and you lowly people think that the Taiye Lake can stop me."
"Hehe——" Wu Zhonghe opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
The Fourth Prince thought he had compromised, and approached him happily, but was spat on by someone with blood.
A strong fishy smell filled his nose. The Fourth Prince's face was covered in blood, and his handsome features instantly became distorted.
He clenched his fists and looked around. Seeing that there were too many people around, he suppressed the urge to cut off the man's tongue.
If you want to ascend the throne, you cannot have any connection with violence.
The noble families and the court officials would not need a king like this. He needs to be patient and kind...
However, there was always someone to do the dirty work for him. The Fourth Prince glanced at his younger brother, and the Fifth Prince rushed up and started punching and kicking him.
Disdainful glances were cast at the Fifth Prince from time to time. The Fourth Prince finally spoke slowly, "Fifth brother, he's just a servant. Is he worthy of your personal action? Hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment. They will naturally find a way to punish him."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to his brothers and said, "Fifth brother is straightforward. We are brothers, please forgive us."
A gentle and elegant demeanor.
However, some people didn't buy his story. The Sixth Prince, Yan Chang, touched his slightly round belly and said to the Seventh Prince, Yan Changsui, in a sarcastic tone, "Some people, in one word, are just pretending!"
They are all smart people in the palace. Everyone can see that the fourth prince Yan Rong is a good-for-nothing. It’s just that the fifth prince Yan Xu is not very smart and is fooled by him.
Yan Changsui smiled heartily, revealing his white teeth: "Even wearing a rabbit skin can't hide the smell of a fox."
The two of them sang in unison. The Fourth Prince took a deep breath and stopped looking at them.
He would not argue with these two people who were destined not to sit on the throne.
"Things like this can't be hidden." The Fourth Prince continued speaking as if nothing had happened, occasionally forcing a friendly smile.
"I hope you've hidden the thing you're protecting with your life. If I find it—"
Before he could finish his words, the exhausted Wu Zhonghe suddenly jumped up and made the fourth prince Yan Rong stagger, catching everyone off guard.
Because a lame eunuch like them couldn't pose any threat.
Especially in order to watch the fun, the princes didn't even bring their personal guards with them.
When a bird of prey is about to strike, it flies low and folds its wings.
Wu Zhonghe didn't say a word, but it was just for this moment.
He wanted to give that stupid fish a chance of survival.
The princes underestimated the enemy so much that he would risk his life to drag the Fourth Prince into the water, and by then he would be dead.
Fish are so smart that they will naturally understand that the matter is done and will hide well.
