Chapter 72
Li Yu felt that he should remind King Jing that the Sixth Prince was King Jing’s rival in the original novel. Now that the Second Prince had been deposed and the Third Prince had fallen out of favor, the Sixth Prince would definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the fight for the throne.
Li Yu had once advised King Jing to be “wary” of the Sixth Prince. In fact, he knew that against an opponent like the Sixth Prince, just being “wary” of him would put him in a passive position. King Jing and Duke Chengen’s Mansion had suffered enough in the original novel. It would be great if they could completely bring down the Sixth Prince before he became too powerful.
But how could he persuade King Jing to take the initiative?
He – – was a young master who lived in the mansion and never stepped out. Even if he was currently in a relationship with King Jing and King Jing doted on him a lot, he didn’t think that he had enough confidence to persuade King Jing.
It should be said that he had almost no confidence.
He wasn’t a good counselor, and analyzing the situation wasn’t his strong point. He could only roughly understand that being wary was the same as being on the defense, and it wouldn’t affect the situation. Taking the initiative to take the initiative was an attack, which meant that King Jing had to give up his usual style of doing things. But in this way, it would also attract the Sixth Prince’s attention. King Jing probably didn’t have the heart to fight for the throne. If he and the Sixth Prince had a formal confrontation, he would have to fight for it even if he didn’t want to …
Well, in fact, compared to how to make King Jing deal with the Sixth Prince, the more difficult thing was how to make King Jing have the heart to fight for the throne.
King Jing could be wary of the Sixth Prince without asking for the reason, but it was impossible for him to fight for the throne without asking for the reason.
He was also worried that if he tried to lead the topic to the fight for the throne, would King Jing think that he had ulterior motives and wanted to use him?
Li Yu, who was completely unaware that King Jing had already started to make arrangements, thought, How can I persuade King Jing?
No matter what, she had to try her best. The Third Prince was unable to recover from the setback, but the Sixth Prince was jumping around happily and even dared to flatter the Emperor. This showed that the Sixth Prince was already cultivating the support of the Imperial Harem. She could not let the Sixth Prince succeed.
Li Yu still managed to find an opportunity to speak to King Jing in his human form, “Your Highness, the Sixth Prince…”
Li Yu brewed his emotions. He wanted to use King Jing’s status and identity to move him emotionally and reason with him.
King Jing narrowed his eyes dangerously when he heard the Sixth Prince’s name.
Li Yu was still unaware that King Jing did not like the Sixth Prince. He was still rambling on and on.
Before he could react, King Jing threw him onto the bed and violently kissed him.
Ever since the two of them got together, King Jing had always been very accommodating to Li Yu when it came to intimacy. Li Yu did whatever he wanted and gave him whatever he wanted. Even if he couldn’t get to the last step, King Jing was very patient and never used force. On the contrary, he cared a lot about Li Yu’s feelings. He really had never been angry with Li Yu. Although Li Yu didn’t say it out loud, she liked being close to the other party very much. She had almost forgotten that the person she was dating was a tyrant.
With this pounce, King Jing’s long-lost plundering and ruthlessness all came out.
Li Yu whimpered and kept hitting the other party’s chest. He liked being intimate with each other when they were in love, but he didn’t like to be rough. He – he wanted to talk about serious matters!
However, King Jing acted as if he didn’t hear him and didn’t care. He only fiercely crushed Li Yu’s lips and easily made Li Yu throw away his helmet and armor.
Li Yu was used to enjoying herself, and soon she forgot to resist. Ruan turned into a pile of mud.
Her eyes were watery, and she could only moan in a low voice.
Both of them were covered in a thin layer of sweat. King Jing finally softened. Li Yu waited until he had some strength. He lovingly stroked his temples and said in a hoarse voice, “Your Highness, you, what’s wrong?”
Although he said he was angry, he actually wasn’t. It was just that he kissed too hard at the beginning and easily scared the fish. Li Yu’s mouth was already swollen.
After King Jing thanked him, the ruthlessness around him dissipated. He gently pecked Li Yu’s cheek and stuffed a sweaty note into his palm.
Li Yu opened it and read, “You’re not allowed to look at other men.”
Li Yu, “…”
Damn it, what’s with this inexplicably wronged domineering aura!
Li Yu rubbed his forehead, “Your Highness, did you misunderstand? I didn’t look at other men. I just -“
Li Yu’s heart thumped. He only briefly mentioned the sixth prince. He might have mentioned him a few times in the past, but King Jing actually mistakenly thought that he was interested in the sixth prince!
She had prepared the note long ago. How long had this bastard been jealous?
Li Yu angrily punched the bed, “I want you to treat him as an enemy, not a love rival!”
King Jing, “…”
“Alas, I’ve already said it.” Li Yu seized the opportunity and said, “Your Highness, if the sixth prince takes the throne, it will be very unfavorable for Your Highness. Can Your Highness stop him?”
King Jing, “…”
King Jing slowly glanced at Li Yu. His expression was very strange, as if he didn’t understand Li Yu’s meaning, but it was definitely not suspicion.
It didn’t matter. Li Yu didn’t expect to persuade King Jing with just a few words. The misunderstanding just now had also inspired him. Li Yu felt that in addition to moving his emotions and reasoning, he could use another unique skill – selling out fish and tofu.
He was especially sincere and tireless in selling out the sixth prince several times. He was so tired that he almost fainted. Only then did King Jing curl his lips and “reluctantly agree not to let the sixth prince take the throne.
The other two princes were obviously not going to make it. If the sixth prince was removed, only King Jing was left. To round it up, he agreed to fight for the throne!
It wasn’t a fight for the throne. His Highness himself was the heir!
Fish, who had sacrificed a lot for this, thought, “It’s too difficult for the tyrant to do what he should do! Why does the hero halo have to be placed on Fish! “
But if Fish didn’t show up, who else would think about the tyrant’s future?
Li Yu finally solved a big problem that had been hovering in his mind. At the same time, he also had to solve a few small problems.
One of the small problems was that because he and King Jing often fooled around in the dark, the time that he could estimate accurately in the past was no longer accurate. Although there was a countdown reminder from the system, the system’s reminder was too short and rushed. There were several times when he almost exposed himself in front of King Jing and almost rolled out of bed to escape. King Jing’s situation was not much better. Li Yu wanted something like a clock that could formally and effectively remind him.
In ancient times, there were no clocks. Most of the time was measured by sundials or hourglasses, which weren’t very accurate and convenient. Li Yu thought of an hourglass and specifically asked Wang Xi. Wang Xi listened to Li Yu’s gestures for a while and suddenly understood, “Young Master Li, do you want an hourglass? This old servant knows where to find one. I can get one for you. “
… That means there is an hourglass!
Li Yu thanked him profusely and stuffed a few boxes of peach blossom cakes into Wang Xi’s hands. Then, he turned around and thought of the second small problem.
Last time, when Li Yu went to buy wedding gifts for Ye Qinghuan and the princess, he had already given all the gifts. However, the scene of him always running into fake goods was still vivid in his mind.
The sixth prince was obviously very lucky, but why did he always buy fake things? Which was the main reason? Bad taste or bad luck?
Li Yu didn’t want to admit to either of these. He asked Wang Xi sneakily, “Eunuch Wang, let me ask around. Are there many people who buy fake antiques near King Jing’s mansion?”
Could it be because there were many people selling fake antiques? In that case, it was quite normal for him to run into one or two.
Wang Xi also went with him that day. He was the one who led the imperial bodyguards to catch the shop owner selling fake antiques. After thinking for a while, he understood Li Yu’s intention. He laughed until he was out of breath, “Originally, there weren’t many, but young master’s luck … cough, cough, it’s too good. Didn’t you run into them? The magistrate’s office can’t wait to thank young master.”
This was the truth. The effect of Young Master Li wandering around the streets was much better than the magistrate’s office sending people to personally go.
“Since there are people who sell fake antiques, it’s normal to buy the wrong antiques.”
Li Yu’s face stiffened. He tried to regain some of his face, “I saw that the stones in the fish tank seemed to be real.”
Wang Xi burst out laughing, “Young master, don’t tease this old servant. Every stone in His Highness’ fish tank is real. They were all picked from the warehouse and polished.”
“What?” Li Yu was shocked, ‘The whole tank is real?”
The red and blue stones that he liked to throw in his free time, and the pile of purple stones that he casually kicked over, were all real???
“They’re all real.”
Wang Xi nodded seriously, “And they’re the best gemstones. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they’re priceless.”
Li Yu, who played with the priceless gemstones every day without knowing it, “…”
Li Yu originally thought that the silver stone bed and golden silk seaweed quilt that King Jing made for the fish were extravagant enough. Who knew that he swam on a pile of real gemstones every day? Because these gemstones were not very shiny, the fish did not notice them at all. They thought that they were ordinary colored stones.
It seemed that it was not luck that he always bought fake antiques, but his taste was really bad.
Li Yu weakly leaned against the wall, “Eunuch Wang, I want to be alone.”
Eunuch Wang was ordered by King Jing to give Young Master Li whatever he wanted. But if Young
Master Li mentioned someone else …
In the past, Young Master Li always talked about the little fatty. King Jing asked Wang Xi to investigate thoroughly. Wang Xi felt that the name was familiar, but he still could not find out who the little fatty was. Now there was one more person… Jing Jing?
Wang Xi was alarmed and hurriedly asked on behalf of his master, King Jing, “Young master, please make it clear. Who is Jing Jing? Why do you miss him?”
Li Yu, ” …”
It was difficult to communicate with ancient people.
Wang Xi asked Li Yu to wait for two days, and then he brought back a silver hourglass for Li Yu.
Li Yu specially tested the hourglass according to the time limit of his transformation. It basically took two hours for all the sand in the hourglass to fall out, so it was just right for him to use it.
From then on, Li Yu also put the hourglass into his portable space. Whenever he transformed into his human form, he would take it out so that he would not always be on tenterhooks.
He did not know that after he went to be alone, Wang Xi reported to King Jing that he wanted the hourglass. King Jing would not be perfunctory about what Xiaoyu wanted. Although the hourglass
was not expensive, it was mostly used as a decoration in the current dynasty. It was not punctual.
However, the hourglass that Li Yu received was different. King Jing had specially asked the skilled craftsmen in the palace to make it. The timing was also specially calibrated, so it was naturally much more accurate than an ordinary hourglass. At the bottom of the hourglass, there was a shallow engraving of a fish.
King Jing was used to planning for Xiaoyu, so he was very happy to see Xiaoyu carrying an hourglass wherever he went.
