The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 129
Chap 129
After Jing-wang left, Li Yu ordered his guards to stand in formation inside the palace while he
calmly organized everything that has happened in the last few days.
Perhaps because the 6th Prince was sent to the imperial prison, Jing-wang’s mutism was also
cured, in addition to his pregnancy with the little sweetie pie. All of this made Li Yu’s mood
rather relaxed. Meanwhile, the force that had poisoned Jing-wang just started to reveal itself
recently.
Jing-wang was still investigating and verifying information and didn’t have time to make any
arrangements. Li Yu had subconsciously trusted in Jing-wang’s protagonist aura, that even
though this force never revealed itself in the original novel, Jing-wang would definitely be able
to control it.
However, from the looks of it right now, it was extremely likely that he and Jing-wang were
caught completely off guard by this secret force.
Recalling for a moment, when they had first realized when this force was related to Lou Lan and
wanted to warn the Emperor, that was when the Emperor started to avoid meeting them.
Could it be that instead of avoiding them, the Emperor had already been under the control of that
secret force by then?
When he mentioned that Snow Crow grew on snowy mountains, the Emperor’s expression back
then clearly showed that he knew something.
Head manager Luo had also been missing from the Emperor’s side for a long time. Li Yu
suddenly realized his negligence. Perhaps head manager Luo had been detained as well.
Without Luo RuiSheng, the Emperor was missing one layer of protection. Even though he had
Imperial Guards by his side, this force had been hidden in the palace for all of these years and he
still didn’t notice them. If there was really a revolt, the Emperor might also fall to the schemes.
No…… he should have already fallen.
Even the guards at the Cold Palace had all been changed. This showed that the opposition
probably already controlled the guards inside the Imperial Palace. They were even able to use the
imperial edict to summon Jing-wang Li Yu into the palace.
The more Li Yu thought about it, the more regretful he became. Why didn’t he realize something
earlier?
Who knew how the Emperor was right now. Jing-wang went to Ganqing Palace. Please don’t let
anything happen to him.
Although according to the System’s rules, Jing-wang definitely will be fine in the end. But Li Yu
didn’t want any mishap to happen to the Emperor of this world, who had treated Jing-wang
pretty well.
In the original novel, the Emperor died because of the 6th Prince’s schemes, passing away after
being bedridden. Li Yu had thought the 6th Prince was the main culprit behind everything, and
that as long as Jing-wang successfully defeated the 6th Prince in this world, the Emperor would
be fine.
Who would have expected the current situation. That there was actually a hidden BOSS.
Did this BOSS…… also exist in the original novel?
The answer was definitely. In the original story, Jing-wang was mute. Inside the System, Li Yu
had seen that Jing-wang’s offsprings can speak. It wasn’t a coincidence. The original Jing-wang
should have also been poisoned. Therefore, this force must have existed to do that.
But how come in the original novel, this force never contended against Jing-wang?
Perhaps it was because…….
In the original novel, Jing-wang and the 6th Prince fought each other fiercely. The 6th Prince’s
influence expanded throughout. Later on, when Jing-wang took over, he purged the entire
Imperial Palace. This hidden force that had been concealed all along…… was probably
unintentionally eliminated by Jing-wang.
It was also possible that the force had joined forces with the 6th Prince and was mistaken as the
6th Prince’s subordinates by Jing-wang. The outcome was still the same.
However now, Jing-wang already smoothly eliminated the 6th Prince without any issues. The 6th
Prince didn’t really have any influence. Jing-wang also wasn’t a real tyrant and wouldn’t purge
the Imperial Palace.
Therefore, this gave the hidden force a chance to emerge. What did they plan to do to the
Emperor?
Jing-wang and he had found Lou Lan, and Concubine Mei from years ago. Regardless of Lou
Lan or Concubine Mei, both should hold grudges towards the Emperor.
This force… should have plenty of people. How do they conceal themselves normally?
Li Yu had deduced previously that the person who poisoned Jing-wang must have at least
somewhat of a high ranking.
They can exclude the members of the Royal family. After all, the royal members all lived outside
of the Imperial Palace. To detain the Emperor in such a short period of time was impossible for a
royal relative to do.
Then inside the palace– the only people that Li Yu could think of were still the imperial
concubines. Inside the Emperor’s harem, exactly which one was related to Lou Lan, to
Concubine Mei?
Was this person from Lou Lan themselves, or had a friendly relationship with Lou Lan or
Concubine Mei?
The latter didn’t seem quite possible. Concubine Mei only entered the Imperial Palace for a short
few days before she was forced to commit suicide by the Emperor……
Li Yu was just busy speculating when the personal servant, who had separated him from Jing-
wang, came back to find him.
“Wangfei, the little heir is currently crying nonstop at the Imperial Study. Please go take a look
over there quickly.”
Li Yu’s heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to calm down and asked: “When I left the Jing
Estate, he was still at home. How come he’s suddenly in the Imperial Palace?”
The personal servant said with a smile: “It’s because the Emperor had ordered to bring the little
heir into the palace. He just arrived a step later than you, wangfei.”
The personal servant was afraid Li Yu didn’t believe him and even pulled out a silver bracelet
from his sleeve.
The guards beside Li Yu were Jing-wang’s subordinates. One accepted the bracelet first. Making
sure there was nothing wrong with it, they handed it over to Li Yu.
Li Yu carefully examined this bracelet. This bracelet was very smooth and round, one fitting for
a small child’s wrist. There weren’t any abrupt designs but on the inner lining, there were small
tiny fish markings. The fish was painted with a gold powder.
Bao#1’s coloring when he was a baby fish was gold. Li Yu was very familiar with the fish
marking on the inside of the bracelet because it was something that he had drawn himself; Jing-
wang had ordered people to carve according to his design.
This was indeed Bao#1’s silver bracelet.
Li Yu felt a chill crawl upward from the bottom of his feet, making him almost unable to stand.
Jing Estate.
Jing-wang and wangfei entered the Imperial Palace. Wang Xi was left behind to take care of the
kids.
Wang-gonggong loved these little masters very dearly and played together with them. Even if he
had let the kids ride him like a horse, he didn’t feel arduous.
Not long after Jing-wang and wangfei left, someone came from the Imperial Palace again. This
time, they transmitted the Emperor’s verbal decree to bring Jing-wang’s heir into the Imperial
Palace.
The little heir was extremely used to entering the palace. This time, the personal servant even
had a command signal for entering the palace gates. Therefore, Wang Xi started ordering
someone to gather the things that the little heir needed while pouring that person a cup of tea.
However, the person stated that this was an urgent summon from the Emperor, that there was no
need for Wang Xi to bother with the other stuff.
How was getting the little heir prepared a “bother”?
Wang Xi didn’t really like the wording of this personal servant. When he went to pick up Bao#1,
Bao#1 glanced at this personal servant that he’s never seen before and hid behind Wang Xi in
terror. He hugged Wang Xi’s arm and said quietly: “Bao#1 is not going!”
Wang Xi hastily patted Bao#1’s back in comfort. The personal servant said with a coaxing smile:
“Little heir, behave. Wangfei is waiting for you inside the Imperial Palace. This servant is
bringing you to unite with him.”
Bao#1 shook his head like a rattle drum. Before grandpa Emperor had always sent head manager
Luo to come pick up Bao#1 in person. Or the two daddies would bring Bao#1 into the palace
themselves. Fish dad had said before, strangers will try to trick them using daddy’s names. They
will…… lock them up and not give them food to eat, and also not let them see fish dad!
“Bao#1 is not going!” Bao#1 was extremely willfully and resolute.
The other Baos all pitched in: “Daddy said, very scary!!”
Bao#4, who was normally the most confused fish baby, said without the slightest hint of
hesitation: “You’re a bad guy!”
The personal servant looked awkward and wanted to try persuading Wang Xi again.
Wang Xi said coldly: “Since his highness and wangfei is not here, this old servant only listens to
the little heir. The little heir is unwilling. This old servant will just accept punishment.”
Discovering that even using the verbal decree as an excuse was not useful, the personal servant
angrily stated that he was going to return to the Imperial Palace for instructions. Then he left in a
hurry.
Wang Xi placated the kids as the expression on his face gradually turned grave.
Recently, the people from the Imperial Palace were all very unfamiliar. It was likely that the oral
decree might actually be fake. To dare to fake an imperial order from the Emperor. How
audacious.
Right now, Wang Xi was very worried about his two masters’ safety. If the verbal decree might
have been fake, then could there be an issue with that written imperial decree as well?
Something big might be happening in the Imperial Palace!
Wang Xi was worried that the departed personal servant might return with more people. He
made a bold decision. He brought the kids to ChengEn Palace Estate to seek the protection of
Old ChengEn Gong.
The ChengEn Palace Estate often answered all of the requests from the Jing Estate. After
learning that Wang Xi had brought the kids over, Ye QingHuan personally went out to welcome
them. He carried the Baos to see Old ChengEn Gong.
In front of Ye Qian, Wang Xi didn’t dare to exaggerate. He explained how two waves of people
had come from the Imperial Palace back to back and how Jing-wang and wangfei went to the
Imperial Palace.
Holding Bao#2 and Bao#3, Ye Qian mumbled to himself for a while. He also recognized an
issue from Wang Xi’s words and hastily ordered Ye QingHuan to make inquiries.
Ye QingHuan quickly returned and reported to Ye Qian that the gates of the Imperial Palace had
been closed. The guards at the door had said directly that without the Emperor’s orders, no one
was allowed to enter the Imperial Palace. This was also the Emperor’s orders.
Looks like something really did happen in the Imperial Palace.
Ye Qian didn’t dare to waste more time. He ordered ChengEn Gong to accompany him and
headed to Prince Li’s place.
Although the Emperor didn’t allow anyone to enter the Imperial Palace, Prince Li was the head
of the Royal Clan. He was also the Emperor’s younger brother, so he had special privileges. If he
insisted on barging through the palace gates, the guards shouldn’t be able to stop him.
Ye Qian also needed the support of the Royal clan and Prince Li as well.
The Imperial Palace, Qianqiu Palace.
Li Yu saw Bao#1’s little silver bracelet.
For a moment, his heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom. However, with the previous
experience from the West Frontier’s private residence, he continuously told himself that he
needed to calm down. He definitely couldn’t make the same mistake again.
Li Yu did his best to level his breathing and pretend that he didn’t recognize the bracelet at all.
Not waiting for the other’s reaction, he threw the bracelet back and ducked inside a room in the
palace.
He ordered the guards beside him to guard the door and swiftly entered the System. So what if
they had a silver bracelet? He had another way to make certain of the kids’ safety.
In this era where communication depended on yelling, he had the System as his gold finger!
Li Yu clicked open the option to see the “fish babies’ status” and examined the current situation
of each of the kids.
Fortunately, he discovered that all of the kids were together. They were surrounding a pretty
little girl, laughing and talking. Wang Xi was silently guarding them to the side.
This little girl…… Li Yu recognized her. This was the little QingHe princess!
Immediately afterwards, he also saw Old ChengEn Gong and the Ye QingHuan couple!
The kids were inside ChengEn Palace Estate!
Although he didn’t know why they’d run off to the ChengEn Palace Estate, realizing that old
ChengEn Gong was present, Li Yu had no need to worry at all!
Wanting to use a mere silver bracelet to trick him, keep dreaming! Bao#1 must have lost his little
bracelet……
It didn’t take long for Li Yu to remember himself. The 6th Prince, Mu TianXiao, had once sent
his loyal subordinate to infiltrate the Jing estate through the wet nurse, Qin-shi.
At that time, he not only mistakenly obtained the blood of the guard impersonating Bao#1, he
also took away a small silver bracelet.
It should be the one that was just brought over!
However, the 6th Prince had already been locked up inside the Imperial Prison. How did the little
silver bracelet stolen by the 6th Prince’s subordinate get into the hands of the mysterious force
related to Lou Lan?
If they were on the same side, this really didn’t make sense. How come when the 6th Prince was
facing troubles, the other didn’t come out to assist him and instead waited until now to act?
Li Yu felt like he was almost touching the truth of this matter.
The servant outside continued to rush Li Yu relentlessly. With a smile, Li Yu dug a hole for the
other and threw in a handful of dirt.
“Sorry, but I need to wait for his highness to return. I can’t just leave on my own. Since Bao#1
has been crying nonstop, then I’ll trouble you to carry him over for me.”
Let him see, just how the other will continue this lie!
