The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 130
Chap 130
Li Yu wanted the other to bring Bao#1 over. The other obviously couldn’t magically make
Bao#1 appear and began trying to persuade Li Yu to go over himself again, talking nonstop.
Li Yu was even more certain that this was a trap. The two sides reached a stalemate.
He quickly analysed this situation in his head. The kids weren’t actually in any danger. Right
now he and Jing-wang were trapped inside the Imperial Palace, temporarily separated. Seeing
how the opposition was continuously attempting to trick him using Bao#1, it looked like the
other didn’t plan to shed all pretense with him yet. Instead, they were trying to use every scheme
possible to extricate him from the guards that Jing-wang had left behind and make him leave on
his own.
Perhaps the opposition was apprehensive about the existence of these guards. Li Yu instinctively
felt that this mysterious force still didn’t have complete control over the entire Imperial Palace
yet. That’s why these people were only trying to trick him instead of going head on with Jing-
wang’s guards.
However, if he fell for this, perhaps he’d be used to threaten Jing-wang……
Then right now, should he just keep waiting?
Jing-wang went to Ganqing Palace alone. Although he had the protagonist aura, Li Yu was still
very worried.
If he could think of a plan to help Jing-wang send a message outside to let Ye QingHuan and
everyone know what was happening, perhaps Old ChengEn Gong can figure out a plan to enter
the Imperial Palace. Even if he couldn’t enter, he can still be a hindrance to the opposing force.
However, right now, Li Yu had been left behind at Qianqiu Palace with many people guarding
him. How was he supposed to go out to send the message?
Li Yu thought briefly. Since the opposition still wanted to trick him, he might well beat them at
their own game and used this opportunity to escape and send messages. The other definitely
wouldn’t expect this!
However, how is he supposed to do it……
He still had a little sweetie pie in his stomach. Li Yu was slightly afraid and didn’t know if this
was possible.
“Host,” The System interrupted at this time and gave a hint: “The main mission ‘share the nation
with the tyrant’ is currently in progress. During this time, the strength of your fish scales has
doubled and can be used as an effective shield. Please pay attention to your safety, host.”
Li Yu: “……”
The System made this suggestion at this time. In addition, his attributes had doubled again.
Originally his fish scales were already very hard. Breaking through a crystal bottle wouldn’t
even cause him injury. If it doubled again, then the little sweet pie should be fine! And plus and
plus, it can act as a shield!
No matter how much the shitty System had screwed him over previously, it was still rather
reliable in the crucial moments. There was no time to lose! Li Yu decided to trust in the System
and also believe in himself. He decisively said to the personal servant: “Bao#1 is crying terribly,
yet I’m unable to leave right now. This is really worrisome to me. However, I had brought over
our pet fish from the Estate. Bao#1 normally loves this fish the most. If you bring the fish over,
perhaps he’ll become more well behaved.”
The personal servant never expected Jing-wangfei to say this. Not only did he refuse to leave, he
even wanted the servant to send a fish. The personal servant hesitated for a moment, not daring
to agree recklessly, afraid that Jing-wangfei was tricking him.
Li Yu only pretended he didn’t see the servant’s conflict and instructed with a smile: “This fish
is actually his highness’s sweet darling, so please make sure to take the utmost care of it.”
Jing-wang’s love for raising fish was famous in the capital. This inner servant had also heard of
it before. If the pet fish landed in his hands, they might be able to use it to force Jing-wang to
comply in the future. The personal servant unconsciously nodded and agreed to “bring” the fish
over.
Li Yu immediately said he needed to get it ready. Returning to his room in the palace, he
whispered a few words to the guard by his side and ordered the guards to wait outside.
Not long afterwards, the door opened. The guard entered inside according to orders and carried
out a rather big crystal bottle. A silver mixed with gold Koi was currently swimming happily
inside the bottle.
The guard carried the crystal bottle over and told the personal servant that this was the fish that
wangfei wanted to bring to the little heir.
The personal servant accepted the bottle and gave it a glance. He didn’t actually allow the guard
to follow and left with the crystal bottle himself.
Jing-wang’s little heir wasn’t even in the Imperial Palace. Therefore, it was impossible to bring
the fish to the little heir. He also couldn’t bring the fish to Ganqing Palace. He might as well first
detain this fish and then deal with it later.
Li Yu already knew that this personal servant was being dishonest. There were plenty of water
sources inside the Imperial palace. Originally, he had planned to break through the crystal bottle
as soon as they got near one and jump into the water. As long as he entered the water, he could
swim away and have no fear of these people!
Li Yu was just quietly waiting for the opportunity inside the crystal bottle when someone
suddenly came over and blocked this suspicious looking personal servant.
“Hold on, what do you have in your hands?” This person asked.
The personal servant bowed and said: “6th Prince.”
Li Yu: !!!
Li Yu received quite a huge shock. How come the 6th Prince was inside the Imperial Palace?
Li Yu turned around and swam near the wall of the crystal bottle. Sure enough, he saw Mu
TianXiao(6)’s partially wounded face.
The 6th Prince had once attempted to assassinate the Emperor. From the Emperor’s standpoint,
he definitely wouldn’t forgive the 6th Prince. Yet the 6th Prince actually managed to leave the
Imperial Prison and had the ability to stroll around inside the Imperial Palace. This indicated that
the Emperor was definitely in a state where he couldn’t make decisions. In addition, the Lou Lan
force really was somehow related to the freed 6th Prince.
No matter how impossible Lu Yu had thought this was previously, the appearance of the 6th
Prince here was the final verdict.
What did the 6th Prince…… want to do? Li Yu nervously looked at this person.
Mu TianXiao(6) enjoyed the view of the fish inside the crystal bottle for a while and then asked
suddenly: “This is Jing-wang’s fish?”
The personal servant nodded.
Right now Mu TianXiao(6) didn’t have to pretend to be nice and smiled cruelly: “I’ll bring it
over.”
Mu TianXiao(6) didn’t allow any objections and snatched over the crystal bottle.
A cold gaze landed on Li Yu, making him feel stiff all over.
He knew that the 6th Prince had made inquiries about fish many times previously. Has the 6th
Prince become suspicious of fish?
He needed to pretend he was a dumb fish as quickly as possible! A dumb fish was one that
wouldn’t be able to understand the 6th Prince’s words. Nor would it feel afraid.
Li Yu forced himself to continue swimming around inside the crystal bottle simple-mindedly
while under the 6th Prince’s probing gaze.
Mu TianXiao(6) couldn’t see anything strange. However, an idea popped up in his head. He held
the crystal bottle in his hand and strided towards GanQing Palace with large steps.
Li Yu: “…….”
QQ, the life of a fish was not going as fish wanted. He needed to change his battle plans now.
Reuniting with the hubby should be fine too!
Li Yu’s hubby– Jing-wang, had already sat for an incense of time inside GanQing Palace by
now.
He still didn’t manage to see the Emperor yet. The other concubines were all present. The 7th
and 8th Princes were also here. Although there were a lot of people, no one spoke. They sat next
to people they were familiar with and looked at each other with unease.
Jing-wang had a cold and distant personality and wasn’t close to anyone.
“5th elder brother, can I…… sit next to you?” The 8th Prince walked over pitifully.
After experiencing what happened at the hunting grounds, the 8th Prince felt like the safest place
was by Jing-wang’s side.
Smiling faintly, Jing-wang nodded his head and allowed him to sit.
Not long afterwards, the 7th Prince also skipped over and sat next to the 8th Prince.
The sound of activity came from the inner palace. A personal servant said: “The Emperor is
here!”
Jing-wang focused his attention. Not long afterwards, the Emperor walked over escorted by a
pile of servants.
Jing-wang looked very carefully. He discovered that the Emperor’s face was pale, looking like
he was lacking in energy. Not far from the Emperor stood Concubine Zhang. The person
following behind Concubine Zhang was Chu-guiren.
The Emperor really seemed like he was severely ill. Even walking a few steps made him pant for
breath, requiring someone to support him.
The Emperor very quickly sat into the dragon’s chair. The personal servant placed a well
prepared cup of tea next to the Emperor’s hand.
The Emperor clearly waved his hand in irritation and didn’t accept it.
The personal servant placed the tea on the table in front of the Emperor and retreated to the side.
Not long afterwards, Concubine Zhang came over and picked up that cup of tea again, placing it
by the Emperor’s lips herself.
This time, the Emperor drank some of the tea. Concubine Zhang then took out a handkerchief
and carefully wiped away the water that the Emperor had accidentally dropped on his dragon’s
robes.
Chu YanYu, Chu-guiren, brought over a soft pillow afterwards and placed it behind the
Emperor’s back.
All of the concubines present realized that this probably meant Concubine Zhang and her group
had advanced in rank and received the Emperor’s favor. Chu-guiren was someone originally
recommended by Concubine Zhang and the 6th Prince. He was in cahoots with them, so
naturally at a time like this, he advanced in rank as well.
However, the 6th Prince had already been sent to the Imperial Prison. Concubine Zhang
normally had a quail-like personality. What method did she use to gain favor as a quail?
As soon as Jing-wang saw Concubine Zhang and Chu YanYu appear with the Emperor, he
realized that there was something wrong with this situation.
The Emperor also noticed Jing-wang. Something bubbled forth in his gaze as he moved his
mouth slightly.
However, with a light laugh from Concubine Zhang, the light in the Emperor’s eyes instantly
dimmed again. He nodded towards Jing-wang indifferently.
All of the minute changes in the Emperor’s expression were seen by Jing-wang. He understood
that the Emperor might hold some fear towards Concubine Zhang here. He hasn’t seen the
Emperor for a mere few days, yet Concubine Zhang suddenly “gained favor.” This was highly
suspicious.
“TianChi, you came as well.” The Emperor said.
Jing-wang had a private agreement with the Emperor to not reveal to others that his mutism had
been cured. He continued as before and greeted the Emperor without saying a word.
When the Emperor first saw Jing-wang, he looked somewhat surprised. This meant that the
imperial edict wasn’t from the Emperor himself.
And also, outside of Ganqing Palace, the guards and personal servants were much less than
usual. Head manager Luo continued to be missing.
Jing-wang calmly memorized the distribution of guards inside the palace. Under an emergency,
it will definitely come in handy.
The Emperor looked at Concubine Zhang and then said to a personal servant nearby: “Go invite
the 6th Prince. I have something to announce.”
The personal servant acknowledged it verbally but glanced at Concubine Zhang. Concubine
Zhang said with a smile: “Since even his highness Jing-wang has arrived, how can we be lacking
Marquis An(2), and Marquis Ping(3)?”
Marquis An(2) and Marquis Ping(3) were actually just like Jing-wang and had been invited into
the palace ahead of time. They’ve been waiting at the side hall all this time.
The Emperor immediately corrected himself and said: “Very well. Go invite Marquis An(2) and
Marquis Ping(3) over. I have something to announce.”
Hearing these words, the concubines all looked at each other with unease. Adding these two
marquises, all of the Princes would be present. What kind of message did the Emperor plan to
announce?
Marquis An(2) and Marquis Ping(3) entered the hall one after the other. Marquis An(2)’s head
was still confused. The personal servant helped him into a somewhat further seat. Marquis
Ping(3) had lost favor a long time ago. He finally managed to receive a summoning from the
Emperor and hastily started moving himself close to the emperor.
“Father’s health is unwell, do you need this son to do something? I won’t even hesitate if you ask
me to go through water and walk on fire.”
Marquis Ping(3) practically wished he could dig out his heart for the Emperor to see.
“TianMing(3), why don’t you go sit next to Marquis An(2)?” The Emperor rubbed his brows and
sent Marquis Ping(3) further away as well.
Marquis Ping(3) saw his revived hope fall to the ground again and followed the order
awkwardly.
“Go invite the 6th Prince.” The Emperor said once again.
This time Concubine Zhang also nodded her head. The personal servant left quickly. Not long
afterward, he came running back, saying he saw the 6th Prince rushing over along the way.
Mu TianXiao(6) entered the hall. He already changed out of the filthy clothes he had worn in the
Imperial Prison. Although he still had a wound on his face, his every movement and gesture were
brimming with unrestrained smugness.
When he entered the palace, the 6th Prince specifically used an aggressive gaze to give Jing-
wang a look.
Jing-wang crossed gazes with him and expressionlessly watched him walk in front of the
Emperor.
At this moment, Mu TianXiao(6) was even too lazy to pretend in front of the Emperor anymore
and just casually greeted him.
Not waiting for the Emperor to grant him a seat, he autonomously found a close spot to sit down.
The Emperor gave him a cold look of disdain, but didn’t stop him.
How could the 6th Prince act so rampant right in front of the Emperor? And why would the
Emperor forgive him?
Jing-wang already guessed it. It was because of Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang’s presence
was not quite the same right now. Seeing the Emperor’s attitude towards Concubine Zhang, it
must have been Concubine Zhang who had seized control of the Emperor. Thus, the 6th Prince
naturally did whatever he wanted.
Plenty of concubines also guessed this one after the other. They’ve never seen this kind of
situation before and all were terrified, not daring to say anything rashly.
“5th elder brother, long time no see. How about I give you a welcoming present?” The 6th Prince
provoked Jing-wang with a smile.
Hearing this, a few personal servants entered the hall, holding something together in their hands.
Even the extremely unperturbed Jing-wang had a somewhat astonished expression on his face
after seeing this thing.
The servants held a crystal bottle. Inside the bottle was a silver based Koi that had tints of gold.
This fish was already waving its tail. After seeing Jing-wang, it wagged its tail even more
energetically.
Ao! Hubby! Good thing you’re fine. After making such a big circle, we finally meet again! Li
Yu happily blew out a chain of bubbles.
