The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 131
Chap 131
Jing-wang felt shocked and tumultuous inside. He didn’t know why Xiao Yu would end up in the
6th Prince’s hands. However, he needed to take Xiao Yu back as soon as possible and save the
Emperor at the same time.
Jing-wang had previously taken note of the distribution of the guards inside the hall. Now, he
already had a plan.
“…… I know 5th elder brother cares about this fish very much and really wants to take this fish
back. However, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.” Mu TianXiao(6) continued to fiddle and play
with the gold chain on the crystal bottle, smiling like a victor and looking down at Jing-wang
with contempt.
“However, seeing how 5th elder brother had “helped” me into prison before, I am also willing to
“help” you back. If 5th elder brother can experience all of the suffering I had experienced inside
the Imperial Prison as well, who knows, maybe I might be lenient and return this fish back to
you.” The 6th Prince opened his mouth wide and grinned, as if even he was touched deeply by
his own sincerity.
Jing-wang: “……”
Li Yu also speechlessly listened to the 6th Prince’s words. Li Yu was very indignant. However,
his fish fins were too short. He couldn’t make a middle finger with it. Trash Mu TianXiao(6),
how dare you use him to threaten his hubby. Li Yu was only afraid that Jing-wang might take it
seriously and really end up doing what the 6th Prince said.
QQ, he didn’t want his hubby to get bullied. Someone like the 6th Prince definitely can’t be
trusted!
This won’t do. Fish must save hubby!
Li Yu flattened his fish body and targeted his tail angrily at the 6th Prince.
“TianXiao(6), it’s only a fish. You don’t need to trouble him.” The Emperor really couldn’t take
it and scolded the 6th Prince lightly.
The 6th Prince didn’t even look up and replied sarcastically: “As Father said, it’s only a fish. If
5th elder brother doesn’t pay any attention to my words, what can I do to him? Father, I know
you’re biased. Yet you’re not even willing to let him feel this little injustice?”
The Emperor was angry at the 6th Prince’s attitude, but was also afraid to make things worse for
Jing-wang. He can only stop talking.
The 6th Prince looked towards Jing-wang leisurely again: “Please decide quickly, 5th elder
brother. Or else my mood might go bad and who knows, I can change my mind.”
Jing-wang already confirmed that the Emperor was being coerced by Concubine Zhang. The 6th
Prince was also threatening him with Xiao Yu. Jing-wang pressed his lips together, gaze ice cold.
He reached his hand to the bottom of his robe and slightly bent his knees.
This movement made him look like he was about to kneel. The 6th Prince was extremely pleased
and laughed smugly. Because normally Jing-wang wouldn’t even allow him to have a 2nd glance
of the fish inside this crystal bottle, the 6th Prince deliberately wanted to infuriorate Jing-wang.
Therefore, he opened the cover of the bottle and reached his fingers towards the fish’s soft tail.
He wanted Jing-wang to experience personally that everything was under his control now. Even
Jing-wang’s favorite pet fish needed to listen to him and endure whatever he wanted to do.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the fish, a change occurred abruptly. This fish
forcibly jumped and actually broke through the crystal bottle. With wide eyes, the 6th Prince
watched this fish fly up and immediately thought this scene seemed deja vu. However, there was
no time. One silver light wrapped up in a strong gust of wind later, the 6th Prince had no time to
react and he was already slapped firmly across the face by something that felt hard as steel.
Instantly, he saw stars exploding before his eyes!
The 6th Prince held his sharply throbbing face in shock. He was finally able to see clearly that,
not only did Jing-wang’s fish break free the crystal bottle unexpectedly, it even dared to slap him
vigorously– and while using that seemingly harmless and soft looking fish tail!
After one swing, the fish didn’t actually stop. It was still flailing in midair. Taking advantage of
the 6th Prince’s distraction, this fish used an unavoidable lightning speed to slap him a second
time!
Ganqing Palace was originally very quiet. After two clear, crisp “pa pa” sounds later, the 6th
Prince’s cheeks started swelling immediately to the naked eye.
Everyone present all heard this and saw this. The 6th Prince had, for some reason, been slapped
in the face by a fish. Concubine Zhang furrowed her brows. The Emperor desperately controlled
himself to not let the corners of his mouth curve upwards.
Marquis An(2), who was slightly further away, also saw this. Marquis An’s befuddled mind had
a slight impression with this scene. He actually started clapping and saying with a laugh: “Well
done, nice job!”
The 6th Prince was just about to curse out loud when he saw a shadow of a figure flash before
him. The 6th Prince said to himself: not good. As it happened, when fish broke out of the bottle,
Jing-wang had pulled out a snow white dagger out of his boot and stabbed several nearby guards.
While the 6th Prince was still immersed in the fury and incredulousness of being slapped in the
face by a fish, Jing-wang had already pressed the dagger against his neck.
This was a testament to Jing-wang’s skills. Right in front of everyone, the 6th Prince actually fell
under his control.
“What……what do you plan to do?” Mu TianXiao(6) swallowed his saliva. The cold dangerous
light of the dagger made him utterly terrified.
He was capable of mercilessly wrapping a chain around his own wife’s throat. Yet having a
dagger pressed against his neck was enough to scare him so much that his legs turned weak.
However, who wouldn’t be scared in this kind of situation?
Jing-wang held the dagger and pressed it against the 6th Prince’s throat with one hand. With his
other hand, he caught the fish that was still flailing in midair and hid it behind his sleeve.
Li Yu knew that the Emperor was being threatened; Jing-wang needed an opportunity. He
himself was also unable to stand being touched by the 6th Prince. Therefore, why not just create
an unimaginable chaos himself.
Jing-wang often cleaned up after his messes previously. He wasn’t unfamiliar with Li Yu’s
method of doing things. Before Li Yu broke out of the bottle, he also saw Jing-wang move
slightly, as if he was about to act. Li Yu needed to distract the 6th Prince’s attention for Jing-
wang!
Li Yu glanced around and found an area on the ground with a thick heavy rug ahead of time.
When he jumped out, he headed towards the direction of the rug, doing his best to protect his
belly. Originally he had planned to land on the rug after slapping the 6th Prince twice. Jing-wang
had a hidden weapon on him. He would definitely seize this opportunity. Li Yu could take the
chance to randomly jump into a corner somewhere and pull out some of the freshwater from his
interdimensional space.
Fortunately he only stored a crystal bottle and fish tank in his interdimentional space. The rest of
the space was all filled with fresh water. Currently, the crystal bottle was already broken.
However, the fish tank was still present. He could transfer the fish tank outside. As long as he
hid in the fish tank, he’d be temporarily safe.
Not out of Li Yu’s expectations, he and Jing-wang’s hearts were connected. Jing-wang was able
to take control of the chance that he had desperately created. Not only did Jing-wang use a
dagger to seize the 6th Prince, he also caught fish. Delighted, Li Yu wrapped his tail tightly
around Jing-wang’s fingers.
Although it was a crucial moment between life and death, Jing-wang still used his thumb to
gently caress fish’s head.
Jing-wang used his body and sleeve to block the view. Li Yu seized the moment to pull out the
fish tank and hop into it.
His heart still pounded in the aftermath, but thank god, hubby was fine. The little sweetie pie was
also fine. QQ fish did it!
“Jing-wang, just what exactly do you plan to do!” The 6th Prince was extremely terrified, yelling
and screaming nonstop.
Jing-wang glanced past the 6th Prince and looked at Concubine Zhang in the eye with his ice-
like gaze.
“Release father.” Jing-wang said in a heavy voice.
The 6th Prince was Concubine Zhang’s son. Since Concubine Zhang can use the Emperor as
hostage, Jing-wang naturally can also use the 6th Prince as hostage to negotiate with Concubine
Zhang.
Hearing Jing-wang’s hoarse voice, the 6th Prince was briefly stunned. He glanced towards Jing-
wang with fear and trepidation.
Wasn’t Jing-wang a naturally born mute? Why can he suddenly speak?
Everyone in Ganqing Palace all heard Jing-wang talk out loud. They all turned pale in shock.
So Jing-wang’s mutism was actually cured!
The people at Ganqing Palace were all Concubine Zhang’s subordinates. The fellow concubines
were actually all seized as hostages by Concubine Zhang as well. If Jing-wang were able to save
the Emperor, the concubines would be pretty happy with that outcome. They secretly prayed for
everything to go smoothly for Jing-wang.
The 8th Prince’s gaze was burning. He was a child. His line of sight was not the same as
everyone else. Jing-wang was in control of the 6th Prince. However, the 8th Prince’s eyes were
only on the fish tank that was blocked behind Jing-wang. He didn’t know where the fish tank
came from, however, the fish that just slapped the 6th Prince in the face must have fallen inside
the fish tank.
If 5th elder brother and 6th elder brother started fighting, what about the fish?
The 8th Prince really wanted to help Jing-wang. Ignoring his mother, Concubine Lu’s, repeated
warning, he bent down and secretly ran over there. Grabbing the fish tank, he ran back again.
Because he was small in stature and also a kid, no one was able to stop him in that moment!
Jing-wang: “……”
The 8th Prince was hugging the fish tank without letting go. Jing-wang decided he really needed
to view this little brother in a new appreciative light.
Now Jing-wang had nothing to worry about. He looked towards Concubine Zhang and then said
again: “Release father.”
The dagger pressed more firmly against the 6th Prince’s throat. A stream of bright red blood
poured out.
The 6th Prince instantly yelled out in pain: “Mother, save me quickly!”
The 6th Prince was very afraid that Jing-wang was going to kill him and hoped Concubine Zhang
would save him. However, Concubine Zhang only had a dark expression on her face, and
remained wordless.
The 6th Prince gradually started to feel unease in his heart.
He had suddenly been invited out from the Imperial Prison. The person who freed him had told
him that his mother, Zhang-shi, had gained power. At first, Mu TianXiao(6) didn’t believe it.
However, when he saw Zhang-shi sitting comfortably next to the Emperor’s side with his own
eyes, while the Emperor held a loathing but helpless expression, Mu TianXiao(6) had no choice
but to believe it.
This mother was no longer the completely useless, meek and obedient woman that he had
disdained in his memories.
Mu TianXiao(6) didn’t know when this change had occurred.
However, he was very thankful for this change. He was Zhang-shi’s son. Since Zhang-shi
controlled the Emperor, she was definitely going to help him seize the throne. All he needed to
do was sit back and wait for his prize.
However, there was only one thing that the 6th Prince didn’t really understand. Zhang-shi had
hidden herself this deeply without revealing anything, why did she still refuse to help him when
he was scheming for the throne?
Or perhaps, this was all part of Zhang-shi’s grand plans. Seeing how he had fallen for Jing-
wang’s schemes from the very beginning, seeing how the Emperor was already biased towards
Jing-wang, it was basically impossible for his original plans to have succeeded.
The only choice was to save a trump card for the last critical moment. Just when the Emperor
and Jing-wang had thought that he had failed completely. Then Zhang-shi would have a chance
to act and destroy them with one strike.
The 6th Prince had considered this carefully again. Actually, even though Zhang-shi had feigned
ignorance and he didn’t notice it at all, all of his subordinates had originally come from Zhang-
shi. It’s not that Zhang-shi didn’t help him. However, for the sake of victory, she had to hide
even from himself.
With the thoughts above, Mu TianXiao(6) did his best to convince himself to accept the fact that
Zhang-shi had possibly prepared for all of this to happen.
He had made all of these excuses for Zhang-shi, however, Zhang-shi never actually said anything
to him, not even one sentence of explanation. Mu TianXiao(6) grew apprehensive of this mother
of his, who had managed to successfully trick even the Emperor himself, and didn’t dare to ask
too much. In other words, as long as he was free and could ascend the throne in the end, what
couldn’t he accept?
But right now, Jing-wang was holding him hostage in order to threaten Zhang-shi in return. Yet
Zhang-shi was unresponsive to his pleas for help. This made Mu TianXiao(6) strangely start to
panic.
Although he still called the current Zhang-shi, mother, he actually couldn’t figure her out at all.
“Your highness Jing-wang.” Zhang-shi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled:
“Why would you think I would exchange with you?”
“You only have a prince in your hands, while in my hands, I have the ruler of a nation.”
Zhang-shi lightly clapped her hand. A hidden archer inside the main hall of Ganqing Palace
immediately shot out an arrow.
Without any warning at all, the 6th Prince was hit by the arrow, blood spurting out of his chest.
The 6th Prince’s eyes widened as he looked at his own injury. This was a cruel arrow, sent out
under his mother’s approval.
“Mother, you… you…….” He called strenuously in the end and then pitched over head first.
No one in Ganqing Palace had expected Concubine Zhang would kill even her own son.
Instantly, everyone felt like they were all in peril, and trembled all over.
“Even malicious tigers do not eat their young! Why did you kill TianXiao(6)?!” The Emperor
couldn’t believe it.
Even though the 6th Prince had once attempted to kill him, the Emperor never thought about
killing him.
However Concubine Zhang, in order to avoid being dragged down, easily exterminated the
captured 6th Prince. The Emperor was no match for the ruthlessness of this woman’s actions.
“Even malicious tigers do not eat their young? That’s just one life. You eradicated Lou Lan. A
hundred thousand peasants lost their lives. Aren’t you far more malicious than a tiger?”
Concubine Zhang chuckled.
What she received in return was only the Emperor’s furious glare.
Hearing Zhang-shi’s words, Jing-wang faintly furrowed his brows and asked experimentally:
“You’re from Lou Lan– you’re Concubine Mei?”
“That’s right.” Concubine Zhang admitted it without hesitation. She had hidden for half of her
life. Now there was no reason to hide anymore.
She reached up and wiped her face, pulling off a thin layer of skin.
Zhang-shi was originally born from a family of servants. Her skin was slightly dark, with an
honest face. However, after the face mask was removed, a deathly pale skinned and beautiful
countenance was revealed that was obviously not Zhang-shi’s face.
“I am Concubine Mei.” She said: “However, I don’t personally like this title. I am the daughter
of the King of Lou Lan. You can call me, Princess Langya.”
Previously, Li Yu had already speculated with Jing-wang that the force constantly trying to
assasinate Jing-wang and had poisoned Jing-wang was somehow related to Lou Lan and to
Concubine Mei.
However, the reality was that Concubine Mei, who should have already died, was still alive. She
was actually the leader of this force and had been hiding inside the Imperial Palace all of these
years as the 6th Prince’s mother, surviving using the identity of the transparent little Zhang-shi.
The reason for her existence was probably just for this moment, to get revenge on the Emperor.
Then just how did Concubine Mei– Princes Langya– become Concubine Zhang?
