Chapter 143
When Chu Yanyu saw an unexpected face, he felt as if he had been dealt a fatal blow!
The wet nurse’s veil was taken off. This woman that he found baffling was actually the Crown Princess herself!
“You, you aren’t —”
He retreated in a panic and turned to look at the fish in the crystal bottle.
The fish swam lightly and lightly and blew a bubble at Chu Yanyu.
… Why would the Crown Princess appear with the fish? Wasn’t the fish the Crown Princess?
At this moment, Chu Yanyu’s brain could not process it.
“Noble Lady Chu.”
Li Yu said seriously, “Since you insist that I am a fish demon, then come and try to beat me back to my original form.”
“This is impossible, impossible, Your Highness the Crown Prince …”
Chu Yanyu’s expression was ugly as he turned to the Crown Prince. Mu Tianchi’s expression was indifferent and was not surprised at all.
Chu Yanyu then knew that the Crown Prince should know that the Crown Princess had disguised herself as a wet nurse, so this was … a trick. Allowing him to be happy alone, the Crown Prince treated him as a clown!
The Emperor watched a lively show, but the Crown Prince was calm and composed the entire time. When the Crown Princess appeared, the Emperor finally understood why the wet nurse looked so familiar and why the Crown Prince allowed Chu Yanyu to catch the demon.
Previously, the Emperor had arranged a show for the Sixth Imperial Prince. Now, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess worked together to put on a show for Noble Lady Chu.
If she did not have a guilty conscience, how could she become the main character of the show?
The Emperor looked at Noble Lady Chu with disgust.
The Crown Prince’s fish pet was a koi that even Master Liao Kong recognized, and the Crown Princess was a living person. She was slandered as a fish demon by a few random people?
Noble Lady Chu could even think of such distant words. The Emperor felt that any good things that Noble Lady Chu had left behind could be fake.
Gentleness and kindness were just methods that this person used to fight for favor. In reality, she was the same as the Sixth Imperial Prince, a scheming person. As expected of someone from the Sixth Imperial Prince’s side.
Also, Chu Yanyu was just a noble lady. What good would it do him to harm the Crown Princess?
The Emperor took a few turns and suddenly came to his senses. He trusted the Crown Prince now, so he wouldn’t have any problems with the Crown Prince because of this. However, he was disgusted by Chu Yanyu himself.
This male concubine was too ambitious.
Chu Yanyu faced the crown prince consort. His heart was filled with all sorts of guesses, but he didn’t dare to say another word.
Unfortunately, the Daoist priest he found didn’t have good eyesight. When the Crown Princess said, “Come and take me in,” Noble Chu didn’t move. The Daoist priest was certain that this was a fish demon and rang the golden bell in his hand.
The Crown Princess’s expression was calm, and she did not react at all.
“How dare you!”
The Crown Prince was furious. The Daoist priest dared to “offend” the Crown Princess in front of him. The Crown Prince immediately went forward to protect the Crown Princess behind him.
The Daoist was still frantically ringing the bell. The Crown Prince was annoyed and kicked the Daoist away. The Crown Prince’s strength was astonishing. The Daoist’s head hit a pillar and he fainted, bleeding profusely.
“Take him away,” the Crown Prince said.
The guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the unconscious Daoist away.
Chu Yanyu covered his mouth with all his might. He was truly frightened by the Crown Prince’s viciousness just now, but he couldn’t even scream.
Wang Xi walked over. The Crown Prince glanced at him. Wang Xi walked out of the hall. Not long after, a woman dressed as a palace maid was escorted in.
Chu Yanyu recognized this palace maid at a glance. It was the maidservant who served by his side and had witnessed the Crown Princess turn into a fish!
The Crown Prince said coldly, “I heard that there’s a palace maid in the side hall of Yongfu Palace who is always spouting nonsense. Noble Chu, you should investigate this matter first.”
The Crown Prince waved his hand, and Wang Xi came over to bring Chu Yanyu in front of this palace maid.
Chu Yanyu’s last hope ignited in his heart. He forced himself to say, “Hong ‘er, didn’t you say that the Crown Princess turned into a fish?”
“That’s right.” This palace maid called “Hong ‘er” smiled and said, “I saw the Crown Princess with my own eyes!”
Before Chu Yanyu could calm down, Hong ‘er tilted her head and continued, “I also saw His Majesty turn into a fish. Noble Chu also turned into a fish. We are all fish, heeheehee!”
Chu Yanyu’s heart turned cold when he saw that her eyes were turbid and her words were incoherent. Hong ‘er had probably really gone crazy!
However, when someone said that Hong ‘er was crazy before, it was because no one believed her words. In reality, Chu Yanyu knew whether Hong’ er was crazy or not after interacting with her.
It was definitely the Crown Prince …
He had offended the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince was too ruthless … In this way, he had deliberately framed everything. He didn’t even have the last witness.
“Noble Chu, what do you think?”
Mu Tianchi specially asked. The Crown Prince wanted to put an end to all the rumors that were unfavorable to Xiaoyu in front of the Emperor.
Chu Yanyu’s ruckus was not without benefits for him. In the future, if anyone spread rumors that the Crown Princess was a fish demon, they would be directly slapped in the face.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince …”
Chu Yanyu knelt down. The situation was stronger than the person. Everything was disadvantageous to him now. He couldn’t continue arguing with the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
“Noble Chu.” The Crown Prince sneered. “I remember you said that if the Crown Princess wasn’t a fish demon, you would be at my disposal?”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince … I, I misunderstood because of Hong ‘er’s words. That’s why I said something unpleasant … Your Highness the Crown Prince, please spare my life!”
Chu Yanyu panicked at the oath he swore and stuttered as he explained.
What should he do? Would the Crown Prince banish him to the Cold Palace?
The Cold Palace was not for people to live in. He didn’t want to be banished to the Cold Palace!
Chu Yanyu’s mind was in a mess. The Crown Prince looked down at him from above and said in a cold voice, “Flog him 200 times, demote him, and banish him to the Cold Palace.”
Chu Yanyu instantly collapsed to the ground. In a daze, he remembered that he was the Emperor’s concubine. How could the Crown Prince beat him above the Emperor and banish him to the Cold Palace?
“Your Majesty, I beg you. I beg you to save this subject on account of the fact that this subject has helped you before …” Chu Yanyu begged piteously.
He had been flogged before and knew that if he were to be flogged 200 times, he would either die or be injured. The Crown Prince definitely wouldn’t let him off. He could only beg the Emperor.
When the Emperor heard him mention the favor of saving him, the corners of his mouth slowly drooped.
As expected, Noble Chu had a motive.
The Emperor felt that he had been fooled and ignored Chu Yanyu. Instead, he ordered the Imperial Bodyguards to drag him further away during the execution.
Chu Yanyu begged miserably the entire way.
Li Yu turned his face away. He didn’t want to pity Chu Yanyu at all.
If Chu Yanyu had only offended him from beginning to end, perhaps he would ask the Crown Prince not to punish him too harshly.
However, not only did Chu Yanyu offend him, but he also offended the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Of all things, he shouldn’t have targeted the children.
When he looked at this farce as a bystander, he clearly saw that Noble Chu’s eyes were filled with malice as he looked at the children.
Li Yu was often soft-hearted, but this didn’t mean that he didn’t have a reverse scale. The children were his reverse scale. Whether or not Chu Yanyu was the original submissive, he definitely couldn’t harm the children.
Li Yu imitated Old Gong’s appearance and also put on a cold face.
He didn’t want to know what Chu Yanyu was like anymore.
After Noble Chu was taken away, the Crown Prince apologized to the Emperor. After all, he had dealt with the Emperor’s concubine and kept the Emperor in the dark at the beginning.
However, the Emperor didn’t plan to pursue the matter. The Emperor was more than happy to have one less concubine with ulterior motives.
“That’s right, Tianchi, your fish …” The Emperor paused.
Mu Tianchi listened respectfully on the surface, but his heart was in his throat.
After all, there was still a difference between a fish substitute and a real fish. Could it be that the Emperor could tell?
“Let’s … forget it. It’s nothing,” the Emperor said.
When the fish in the crystal bottle was brought into the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Emperor felt that this fish was much quieter than before.
However, the Crown Prince’s fish had its moments of silence. Moreover, Noble Chu had brought a Daoist priest to catch demons. Did he expect this fish to be happy?
The Emperor couldn’t tell the difference between fish and fish. Moreover, compared to Noble Chu’s hypocrisy, this fish was the one that really helped him through his difficulties. Was he still going to suspect this fish?
This was the number one fish in the world that he had personally conferred. Even the Emperor himself found it laughable.
“Raise this fish well and bring it into the palace more often. I still want to see what new tricks this fish has.”
The Emperor recalled that this fish had brought him flowers during the Emperor’s birthday and was looking forward to it.
The Crown Prince and Li Yu: “…”
This fish has many tricks. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied!
The Emperor didn’t suspect anything, and the Crown Prince felt relieved.
Suddenly, he realized that the Crown Princess, who was wearing a dress, was winking mischievously at him.
The Crown Prince: “…”
The Crown Prince felt that the Crown Princess was a little cute like this.
After everything was done, the group returned to the Crown Prince’s residence.
Li Yu dilly-dallied and found excuses for one moment and another. In the end, he didn’t have time to change out of his dress.
He had never worn women’s clothing before, so it was very refreshing to suddenly wear it. Moreover, he fooled the Emperor and the others as soon as he appeared. Li Yu felt that he was very successful in pretending to be a wet nurse. No one noticed that he was pregnant. At most, they would think that he was a little plumper.
The excitement lasted until the Crown Prince returned to his room. Under Old Gong’s teasing gaze, Li Yu became mischievous.
He still wasn’t in a hurry to change clothes. He wore his dress and went to tease the Crown Prince.
“Your Highness, don’t you feel good doing this?” Li Yu snickered and hugged the Crown Prince’s arm.
In order to act like a wet nurse, Li Yu stuffed a lot of cushions and tried to make himself look exquisite.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to let the Crown Prince experience his superb acting skills.
Mu Tianchi: “…”
The Crown Prince, who only felt the pile of cushions, silently pulled his hand out and didn’t say anything.
The Crown Princess thought that she had overreached herself. The Crown Prince was gay, so he probably wouldn’t like these …
Ugh, I’ve overdone it. What if, what if Old Gong is traumatized?!
Li Yu hurriedly took out all the cushions and threw them on the ground. Then, he went behind the screen to change out of his dress.
However, this dress was very tight and wasn’t easy to change out of. Li Yu had just unbuttoned the pearl button on his collar when the Crown Prince suddenly barged in and pushed him against the screen.
“Wet nurse?” The Crown Prince chuckled and called out.
Li Yu: “?”
Li Yu didn’t understand, but he mustered up his courage and answered.
The Crown Prince picked up the fish, walked out of the screen, and put it down on the couch.
He carefully avoided Li Yu’s stomach. When he came up, Li Yu narrowed his eyes comfortably.
The Crown Prince smiled and asked, “Is it really a wet nurse?”
Li Yu’s mind was filled with more and more useless things, so he nodded randomly.
He gave birth to these children, and he had also fed them. Of course, it was a wet nurse.
Then … there was no then.
The wet nurse, Li Yu, was cleanly taken care of by the children’s father.
In the first half of the game, they hammered and hit each other. In the second half, there was only sweet moans.
The husband and wife were talking about intimate things that belonged only to the two of them when they suddenly heard someone frantically banging on the door outside.
If the couple did this, they would usually lock the door. Li Yu hurriedly wrapped himself in the blanket and glared at the Crown Prince. It was just a bird’s nest hair, rabbit eyes, and sausage mouth that didn’t have much of a deterrent force.
The Crown Prince was in a good mood. He smiled dotingly and personally opened the door.
A fish cub stood outside the door hugging a small pillow.
“Father,” Da Bao said timidly, “I want to sleep with the wet nurse.”
The Crown Prince had already started to let the babies sleep by themselves and didn’t allow them to always disturb their father. However, Da Bao wanted to sleep next to his father and finally found an excuse.
Mu Tianchi: “…”
How could Li Yu bear to reject his son? He immediately had Old Gong take his son over.
Da Bao was very happy as long as he could be by his father’s side. He hugged the small pillow and took the initiative to sleep between his fathers.
“Da Bao, be good. Don’t be noisy.” Da Bao closed his eyes happily.
Li Yu gave Old Gong a comforting look, and the couple lay down together around their son.
Not long after, the door banged again.
In this way, the door banged a total of four times. In total, three fish cubs said that they wanted to sleep with the wet nurse, and one fish cub wanted to sleep with the Crown Prince.
What should she do? The wet nurse was dumbfounded.
“… This won’t happen again.”
The Crown Prince intimately scratched Li Yu’s nose and lay down with him hugging the children. They were all satisfied just like this.
Li Yu shouldn’t be fooled again, right? He was very careful.
The night was peaceful. The next day, the children went to the imperial study. The Crown Prince went to the Ministry of Rites and came back. He smiled and said, “Wet nurse.”
