Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 896 856: The Great Fish

This is the way to survive in the Royal Palace.

Some things are not meant for you to see; even if you see them, you must act as if you haven't, and even if you hear them, you must act as if you haven't.

Of course, these guards are all good men in the prime of their youth. How could they hear these sounds without having thoughts?

This makes some people begin to secretly complain in their hearts.

That damned Prince You is really worthless, doing such things here. How can they be at ease?

Not only do they think this way, but some are already wondering if they can kill Prince You outright, then everything he has would become theirs, wouldn't it?

Of course, these thoughts can only remain in their minds; if they really did such a thing, they definitely wouldn't live long.

After all, they are just the most lowly guards.

Trying to seize power with the identity of a guard is absolutely impossible.

Prince You is indeed just a leader.

If Prince You truly dies, countless nobles will rise, even without these nobles, the Grand Generals would never watch the throne fall into the hands of a guard.

Speaking fairly, these people are the most powerless.

Even if they were to kill Prince You directly, they might enjoy a brief comfort here, but afterwards? Don't they need to leave? As soon as they step out, death will be waiting for them.

Especially those truly aiming for the throne, they will make sure the guards take the fall, blaming Prince You's death entirely on them.

By then, they can righteously claim the throne.

Of course, these talks are somewhat redundant. In this secret chamber, in the reflection of the firelight, Prince You's laughter occasionally echoed along with the constant wailing of the 79 concubines.

As for why such wailing sounds occurred, it wasn't because the 79 concubines rejected him.

After all, she was Prince You's woman; being with him now is expected.

Soon, Prince You's accessory was thrown out.

The guards noticed the sword handle was covered in red blood.

Certainly, this wasn't Prince You using the sword to kill the 79 concubines; as to where the blood came from, it's unclear.

At this moment, the 79 concubines thoroughly hate the man before her.

She couldn't believe she would face this outcome, just the day before she had reveled in being untouchable, enjoying the feeling of controlling things in the harem.

She had set a goal to conquer the entire harem shortly and become its ruler.

But she never expected in just one day, everything would change so drastically.

All of it was caused by that person.

If it weren't for that person, how could she end up worse than death? Now, she utterly hates Lin Yi.

Poor Lin Yi, still busily transporting the lake water into his System Space, in the sky.

He sneezed loudly, causing him to frown and murmured helplessly:

"Who is thinking of me again? Ah, having good connections can be troublesome. Even in the dead of night, someone is thinking of me."

While muttering, he continued his actions without pause. Seeing two-thirds of the water gone, the lake bottom appeared before him, prompting him to quicken his pace, causing the water column to surge further.

After nearly half an hour, the once full little lake had emptied completely, revealing the muddy and sandy bottom beneath.

Moreover, the sudden disappearance of water had left many fish stranded at the lake's bottom, writhing and jumping endlessly.

Though some were drawn into the System Space, the quantity of fish in the lake was immense, leaving many behind, but fortunately, some depressions retained water.

This gave some fish a chance for respite.

At this moment, Lin Yi focused his gaze into his System Space, clearly seeing everything within it.

Looking at the newly formed fish pond, Lin Yi frowned slightly and lamented:

"Ah, it's such a shame about these fish; frying them will need a lot of scallions, ginger, and garlic."

With a thought, the fish floating on the small lake surface in the System Space were moved to an open area.

Among these fish were some over a meter long, surprising Lin Yi. He hadn't expected such large fish here.

This caused Lin Yi to exclaim again:

"The fish are so big, one pot isn't enough to cook them all."

With the lake water entirely gone, the lake surface had turned into a vast pit.

Lin Yi hovered above the red dot again.

Looking at the red dot flashing on the screen and the pitch-black silt below, Lin Yi's lips curled slightly upward, then with a wave of his hand, the mud on the ground began to disappear quickly.

Indeed, he used the same method as before with the lake water, putting the mud directly into his System Space.

However, he didn't place the mud back into the lake water; he let it float in mid-air within the space.

As for why he did it, he didn't want the mud messing up the space; after clearing these places, he planned to throw the mud out.

However, this is a matter for later. At this moment, the lake bottom mud kept disappearing.

One centimeter, five centimeters, ten centimeters, half a meter,

when the thick mud had disappeared by half a meter,
