Chapter 67
Sucking money?
Li Yu was a little unsure. He asked slowly and softly, “Your Highness, what do you mean by this?”
King Jing had originally written this note to relieve his emotions. He had never thought that Li Yu would steal it from him. Seeing that his hidden thoughts were all exposed in front of Xiaoyu, he was even more worried that Xiaoyu would think that he already knew the identity of the carp spirit.
King Jing made up his mind and simply shook his head indifferently.
As long as he refused to admit it, it would be fine.
Li Yu was speechless.
Li Yu clenched his fists and coughed softly. “Your Highness, do you mean that you don’t know either and that this has nothing to do with Your Highness?”
King Jing hesitated for a moment and nodded his head heavily.
Li Yu laughed inwardly. He had read a lot of romance novels with King Jing in the past. He knew that in romance novels, all fairies had to suck money, which meant that they had to have indescribable relations with scholars. Did King Jing …… want to do that with him?
This bastard’s mind was full of dirty thoughts. He was discovered and yet he still refused to admit it. He didn’t expect King Jing to have such a childish side.
Li Yu cursed King Jing for being a bastard in his heart. He curled his lips and deliberately said,
“Was it really not written by Your Highness? But this is clearly Your Highness’s handwriting.”
King Jing was speechless.
King Jing was anxious. It really wasn’t me!
“Okay, okay, I know. It wasn’t written by Your Highness.” Li Yu tried hard not to laugh out loud. He rolled his eyes and continued to tease King Jing. “Then, does Your Highness know what sucking money means?’
Li Yu laughed wildly in his heart. That’s what you get for taking advantage of me in the past. Nov you’ve been scalded by my tofu!
King Jing was speechless.
King Jing begged for mercy. He smiled and took out a small pure gold fish from his sleeve and silently handed it to Li Yu.
Xiaoyu liked real money. King Jing had prepared some coarse fish. He had personally drawn this little gold fish and had just caught it not long ago.
“This fish is so cute. Is it for me?”
Li Yu was immediately attracted by the shiny little fish. He was pleasantly surprised as he held the little goldfish in his hands.
The little goldfish was charmingly naive, and its tail was curled into a circle. No matter how Li Yu looked at it, he felt that it looked like his fish body. There was a specially woven lanyard on the fish’s spine. It was also the seaweed green that Li Yu liked.
Li Yu lovingly stroked the string on the fish and asked, even though he already knew the answer, “Where do you want to tie this?”
King Jing hugged him with a smile and tied the little goldfish to the colorful silk belt around his waist.
Li Yu fiddled with the fish on her waist for a while, then glanced at King Jing with her bright eyes.
“Your Highness, don’t change the topic. Tell me what it means to make money.”
King Jing: “…”
Xiaoyu was a little difficult to deal with. King Jing was annoyed, but he liked it.
Li Yu was pressuring him step by step. King Jing was worried that he couldn’t find an excuse to get away. Wang Xi stood outside the room and carefully knocked on the door.
In fact, Eunuch Wang didn’t want to disturb them at this moment. His master had instructed him to be alone with Young Master Li at this time. However, the Sixth Prince had arrived and had been waiting for half a day in Ninghui Hall. Wang Xi knew that the Sixth Prince had harmed his master before, so he didn’t treat the Sixth Prince well. However, the Sixth Prince said that he had visited the
Emperor before coming to King Jing’s residence, so Wang Xi couldn’t ignore Sixth Prince for too long.
“Your Highness, Sixth Prince, came from the Emperor’s residence. He said that he came to apologize to you.”
Wang Xi said apologetically. He was careless and disturbed his master and Young Master Li again.
Young Master Li and his master had a big fight last time. Wang Xi and the servants were very worried. Later, the situation had changed. Wang Xi couldn’t wait for the two to get well.
However, did his master and Young Master Li get together?
According to Wang Xi’s silent observation, his master and Young Master Li had slept in the same bed before. They were always pulling and pulling, so there must be something between them.
Later, he saw that Young Master Li and his master were talking, reading, and writing. The two of them were very polite, but it didn’t seem like it.
Later, Young Master Li didn’t want to sleep with his master and ran away. Eunuch Wang couldn’t bear to see the words carved on his master’s life wall. Young Master Li was finally willing to let his master get close to him. Now, they should be together, right?
However, every time his master saw Young Master Li, he had to take a shower. Young Master Li didn’t know, but Wang Xi, as his personal attendant, knew clearly. If they were together, how could it be possible?
Therefore, Eunuch Wang could only describe the relationship between his master and Young Master Li as indescribable and vague.
Wang Xi was afraid to disturb King Jing, but after he braced himself and asked for instructions, he felt that his master seemed to be relieved.
Wang Xi: “…”
King Jing patted Li Yu’s hand and planned to drive the Sixth Prince away. In fact, he was afraid that Xiao Yu would continue to ask. He was too embarrassed to answer, so he wanted to use the Sixth Prince to avoid the limelight for a while. Xiao Yu liked to play. Perhaps he was waiting for him to come back, so he stopped asking.
“Your Highness, you, you’re going to see the Sixth Prince?!”
When Li Yu heard the Sixth Prince’s name, his originally teasing expression suddenly became nervous. He unconsciously grabbed King Jing’s sleeve.
The Sixth Prince… In the original novel, he was King Jing’s biggest rival. After the Second Prince and the Third Prince were useless, the Sixth Prince caught the Emperor’s attention. This person had always been hiding behind the Third Prince. He was cunning and ruthless. King Jing had suffered many losses from the Sixth Prince. Because of Chu Yanyu, he almost died at the hands of the Sixth Prince. When the Sixth Prince was completely defeated, he also created a lot of trouble for King Jing.
Even if the plot had changed beyond recognition, the Sixth Prince’s character shouldn’t have changed too much, right?
Li Yu knew the Sixth Prince’s background, but he didn’t know how to warn King Jing.
In the past, when Ye Qinghuan was schemed against, he said that he got the news by accident. It was difficult to cover up the lie. Fortunately, King Jing believed him and didn’t ask too much.
If it was the Sixth Prince, it would be too fake if he said that it was an accident.
Li Yu frowned. He wanted to think of a reason to ask King Jing to be wary of the Sixth Prince.
King Jing saw that Li Yu was deep in thought and reached over. His slightly cold fingertips smoothed out the wrinkles between Li Yu’s eyebrows.
“Your Highness, if I ask you to be wary of the Sixth Prince…..”
King Jing was so gentle that Li Yu immediately said it out loud.
King Jing looked at him and nodded.
Li Yu: “…”
“Your Highness, aren’t you going to ask why?” Li Yu asked.
King Jing pointed to the wall. Next to the painting of the fish, there were three rules that were deliberately hung there.
King Jing was afraid that he would forget the agreement between him and Xiaoyu, so he deliberately hung it up to remind him.
Li Yu understood what he meant. According to the agreement, King Jing believed him. If he didn’t say anything, King Jing wouldn’t ask about it.
But the agreement only asked King Jing not to ask where he was going. He didn’t expect King Jing to spontaneously think that he wouldn’t ask about anything that he didn’t want to say.
.. Wasn’t this good?
It was very good, very good. There was nothing better than this.
Li Yu’s heart felt warm, but he still found a reason to persuade him. “Your Highness, the Sixth Prince has harmed you. Your Highness, please don’t believe him.”
Li Yu actually didn’t know why the Sixth Prince was here, but it was always right to be cautious.
King Jing nodded and smiled as he touched Li Yu’s cheek, telling him not to worry.
King Jing left with Wang Xi. Li Yu didn’t want to show his face in front of the Sixth Prince, and he was also afraid that he wouldn’t have enough time to transform, so he decided to stay in the room and wait for King Jing.
King Jing’s note was still there, and the “evidence” hadn’t been taken away. Li Yu looked at the flamboyant handwriting on the note alone.
They were both men, so he could understand King Jing’s feelings. Although King Jing had feelings for him, he didn’t do anything to him because of the three rules. At most, he would only say a few words on the note.
His Highness was so nice.
He couldn’t let go of His Highness who was so nice to him.
Li Yu’s lips curled up mischievously as he thought about it.
The Sixth Prince waited for a long time, and King Jing finally came out to meet him.
Mu Tianxiao stepped forward and wanted to say some polite words, but King Jing just glanced at the things he brought over and nodded coldly. He didn’t even ask him to sit down, which was equivalent to driving him away.
Mu Tianxiao touched his nose and said warmly, “I’ve offended you in the past. Please forgive me, Imperial Brother.”
Mu Tianxiao didn’t mention the Third Prince at all. He had originally come for himself.
The Sixth Prince apologized to King Jing, but the Third Prince didn’t. It was clear at a glance who was superior and who was inferior.
Mu Tianxiao wanted to get rid of the Third Prince as soon as possible. The biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne had never been the arrogant Second Prince or the Third Prince, who was simply played in the palm of his hand.
“… Fifth Imperial Brother, I was deceived by a scoundrel and almost misunderstood you and your fish.” Mu Tianxiao changed the topic and said, “I heard that Fifth Imperial Brother dotes on this fish very much and takes it with you wherever you go. Why haven’t I seen it?”
Mu Tianxiao also felt that King Jing’s fish was a little strange, so he wanted to take the opportunity to test it out.
King Jing’s face was sullen as he glanced at Wang Xi. Eunuch Wang immediately said, “Fifth Prince, His Highness’ fish is very delicate and doesn’t like to see irrelevant people.”
Mu Tianxiao, who had been inexplicably slapped in the face by a fish,”…”
Mu Tianxiao wanted to ask more, but King Jing didn’t want to listen to his long-winded words.
Since he was here to apologize, he could leave the things behind and leave, right?
The Sixth Prince didn’t even have a sip of hot tea. King Jing gave Wang Xi a look and directly motioned for Wang Xi to see him out.
Mu Tianxiao, “…”
Mu Tianxiao excused himself and left Ning Hui Hall. Just as he was about to step out of the palace, a person with disheveled hair pounced on him.
“Your Highness, Your Highness!”
This person wailed and was about to plunge into Mu Tianxiao’s arms.
Mu Tianxiao vigilantly pushed this person away, wondering if King Jing was plotting against him.
When this person raised his tear-stained face, Mu Tianxiao was shocked.
“Your Highness, don’t you recognize me?” This person cried.
“You … you’re Yu ‘er?”
Mu Tianxiao couldn’t believe that this person with a pale face and eyes swollen like walnuts was actually the former bright and upright Chu Yanyu. If it weren’t for the fact that there were still some similarities in appearance, he definitely wouldn’t have recognized him.
“Yu ‘er. why are you like this?”
Previously, it wasn’t easy for Mu Tianxiao to contact Chu Yanyu. It was more and more difficult to deliver letters to King Jing’s palace. Chu Yanyu only vaguely mentioned in the letters that he wasn’t favored. Mu Tianxiao didn’t expect this to be the case.
Chu Yanyu bit his lip and cried. How was he supposed to tell the Sixth Prince that King Jing didn’t even look at him properly? He didn’t succeed in drugging King Jing, and in the end, the drug was returned to him.
No one humiliated him. He was tied up and couldn’t move. When he lost his mind, he cried and screamed crazily, doing everything he could to twist his body and make a fool of himself.
He was tied up for three whole days before the drug finally wore off. However, his body was also tortured to the point that it couldn’t take it anymore.
What was even more unbearable for him was that everyone in Qingxi Park seemed to have heard his screams when he lost his mind. They looked at him with eyes full of contempt!
Chu Yanyu came back to his senses from the unbearable memories and knelt down in front of the Sixth Prince.
“Your Highness, I really can’t stay in King Jing’s palace any longer. I beg you to take me away!”
Chu Yanyu didn’t want to stay in Qingxi Park, didn’t want to stay in King Jing’s palace, and didn’t want to see King Jing again.
Now that the Sixth Prince was here, he liked the Sixth Prince, and the Sixth Prince liked him too.
He still wanted to be with the Sixth Prince!
If it was in the past, Mu Tianxiao would definitely comfort the beauty with soft words. However, they were in King Jing’s palace now. Mu Tianxiao was afraid that this was King Jing’s conspiracy.
He quickly scanned the surroundings and felt that there were spies everywhere. He was shocked by Chu Yanyu’s appearance. Mu Tianxiao was afraid that King Jing would deliberately create a scene of him having an affair with Chu Yanyu. He just had hope of being valued by the Emperor, so he definitely couldn’t ruin his reputation because of Chu Yanyu. He had to quickly distance himself from Chu Yanyu!
“Young Master Chu, you and I have only met a few times in the past. Since you’ve entered Imperial Brother’s palace, you’re Fifth Imperial Brother’s man. Why do you have to say these things to me?”
Mu Tianxiao deliberately berated him loudly and pretended to be angry as he pushed Chu Yanyu away.
“If Young Master Chu dares to pester me again, be careful that I won’t be polite!”
The Sixth Prince’s ruthlessness also rose. He slapped Chu Yanyu’s cheek and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Chu Yanyu had found out that the Sixth Prince had come to King Jing’s palace. He had escaped with great difficulty and met with the Sixth Prince. He didn’t expect that the Sixth Prince, who had doted on and loved him the most in the past, would actually hit him. Chu Yanyu was completely stupefied by this slap, and he could also hear the sound of his heart breaking.
King Jing was hidden in the distance, watching all of this indifferently.
“Your Highness, this, this …”
Wang Xi didn’t dare to make a sound. His Highness had never cared about Chu Yanyu’s life or death. Why did he order him to secretly lead Chu Yanyu to the Sixth Prince’s side this time?
However, he could also see that although the Sixth Prince had hit Chu Yanyu, Chu Yanyu’s reaction … these two were probably old acquaintances!
King Jing glanced at him. Wang Xi understood what his master wanted him to do next, so he nodded and went to work.
Because of this matter, King Jing felt that he had delayed going back to see Xiaoyu, so he hurried a few steps.
The room was already dark. Most of the lit candles had been extinguished, leaving only a dim yellow lamp on the bedside table. There was no one in front of the bed or in the room.
Xiaoyu had probably changed back. King Jing was very upset. Perhaps he shouldn’t have confirmed the relationship between Chu Yanyu and the Sixth Prince.
When he saw the Sixth Prince hit Chu Yanyu, King Jing had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He didn’t know why he had such a feeling, but he actually felt a faint sense of pleasure when Chu Yanyu was hit.
However, it was a pity that he coulan’t see Xiaoyu again because of this. He was afraid that he would have to wait until the next day to see him again.
As King Jing was thinking about this, the tightly closed curtains on the bed suddenly opened.
Xiaoyu’s head popped out from the curtains, and he even rubbed his sleepy eyes.
King Jing was speechless.
“Your Highness, why are you only back now? I was about to fall asleep.” Li Yu giggled.
King Jing was pleasantly surprised. He stared at Li Yu without blinking.
The young man put on his clothes and got up. He lit an oil lamp at the bedside table, which also lit up the only warm light in his heart.
“Your Highness, you …”
Li Yu’s face was red. There was a hint of slyness in his embarrassment. “You haven’t told me what it means to suck money.”
