The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 132
Chap 132
After learning that the Zhang-shi before them was a fake, all of the other Concubines said to
themselves: no wonder. Zhang-shi was normally a quail. How can she be so vicious to even kill
the 6th Prince. This was really exceeding their expectations. But this person was actually a fake.
They were also worried, since this person had treated the 6th Prince like that, how would she
treat them?
With victory within her grasp, Princess Langya felt pretty good and said with a smile: “Are you
guys thinking that I had taken advantage of a good moment to impersonate Zhang-shi and soft-
imprison the Emperor?”
The concubines didn’t dare to nod their heads, but they, including the Emperor and Jing-wang as
well, had all thought this.
Princess Langya said smugly: “Actually Zhang-shi died a long time ago. Recall back then, I had
entered the Imperial Palace not even three days, with a desire for death. After attempting to
assassinate the Emperor, I was discovered and bestowed death. Empress Xiao Hui had ordered
someone to bring me the poisoned wine. The person who brought the wine to me just happened
to be the maid from Changchun Palace, Zhang-shi.”
“That despicable Zhang-shi looked timid and afraid outwardly, but she was actually someone
who bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. She actually wanted to take advantage of my
misfortune to steal away my head jewelry. That was the last of my dignity. I was so furious, I
used a bracelet as bait and took her life instead. Originally, I could have disregarded everything
and left the Imperial Palace, going wherever I wanted. I was someone who had experienced life
and death at that point and should have let go of worldly affairs. However, I really couldn’t
figure it out.”
Princess LangYa loudly recounted her hatred and grudges durings these years. The fact that her
hands were covered with fresh blood made her tremble with excitement: “How come the person
who had made me suffer so, could sit firmly as ruler of a nation, living worriless and sleeping
soundly. Why do I, the legitimate daughter of a King, have to force on a smile and bear children
for my enemy?”
“I didn’t want to yield and fawn for favor. You eradicated Lou Lan and stole away my
everything. Why should I allow you to rule your nation so easily?” Princess LangYa glanced at
the Emperor and gave a laugh of contempt: “Your majesty, since ancient times, there’s the
saying, what goes around comes around. This is only fair.”
“Zhang-shi died in my hands. No one knew this. Then I started thinking perhaps I could
substitute her. I once had a loyal subject close to me that was good at changing their appearance.
Therefore, I had learned how to change my appearance when I was in Lou Lan. I changed my
face and became Zhang-shi, then served by Empress Xiao Hui’s side. She didn’t notice anything
at all. What an utter fool!”
Princess LangYa gave a profound smile. She actually knew how to change her face. This was the
crux of her impersonation of Zhang-shi. It was also something that Li Yu had never thought
about.
So after all the twists and turns, this world really did have a skill to change one’s face here.
After finally learning that Zhang-shi had been replaced a long time ago, the Emperor was so
angry his liver hurted. Returning from his thoughts, he asked accusingly: “So it was you who
poisoned Xiao Hui’s kids?”
The Emperor had ordered Luo RuiSheng to investigate the cause of death for the 1st Prince and
the 4th Prince. However, Luo RuiSheng had lost contact for many days already. Because the
Emperor had been imprisoned by “Zhang-shi” in the last few days, he deduced from this that
Luo RuiSheng had probably been captured as well.
Since Princess LangYa had deliberately impersonated Zhang-shi for so long with malicious
intentions, and the Emperor had already been suspicious of the 1st Prince and 4th Prince’s
deaths, he was feeling hot headed and blurted this question out.
Princess LangYa said with a cold smile: “The 1st Prince’s life was short. It had nothing to do
with me. However, his death helped me find a good way to torment you. The 4th Prince and
Jing-wang were indeed because of me.”
“Pu Liu and Zhang-shi were working together inside ChangChun Palace. She had trusted Zhang-
shi quite a bit. As the princes’ wet nurse, she had to drink nutrients everyday according to the
Imperial Physicians orders. I looked through the prescription of what she was drinking and
learned that there was ginseng inside. Therefore, I quietly placed a secret Lou Lan drug into her
tea.”
Li Yu was just hiding inside the fish tank, eavesdropping right out in the open. Upon hearing “a
secret Lou Lan drug,” he suddenly flicked his fin, thinking: Lou Lan had snowy mountains. This
secret drug should be Snow Crow which could only be found on snowy mountains. Princess
LangYa had mentioned the 4th Prince. Did the 4th Prince also die because of Snow Crow?
Sure enough, Princess LangYa said: “This secret drug was originally a strong supplement,
however, when encountering Ginseng, it’d become poisonous. Because a prince wouldn’t have
only one wet nurse, and the schedule of feedings can change. I built a good relationship with Pu
Liu and figured out when she was on duty. Everytime she was on duty, I’d feed her the drug.
When she’s off work and resting, I’d give her the antidote. The poison from this secret drug does
not have an immediate effect. Pu Liu was fine. The 4th Prince wasn’t quite so fortunate……
however, since the poison was given through breastmilk, the effect was slower. Nevertheless, the
4th Prince didn’t end up living for many days. Everyone all said that he had a frail body and poor
health. I was the only one aware that he had actually died of poison.”
Princess LangYa looked towards the Emperor, her tone containing unrestrained joy: “Watching
you suffering several times by the death of a child gave me such satisfaction from achieving my
revenge. Empress Xiao Hui felt so regretful about letting you down. Therefore, I persuaded her
to have another child and use this to torment you again. I thought giving poison through Pu Liu
all the time was too troublesome. Empress Xiao Hui’s nutritional tea also had ginseng, so I just
did what I did before, to try to make this unborn child die in her stomach. However, he was very
persevering.”
Princess LangYa suddenly glanced towards Jing-wang. “This child”– was clearly Jing-wang.
Princess LangYa continued to say: “I originally bribed the imperial physician and midwives,
wanting them to act while Empress Xiao Hui was giving birth. However, I unexpectedly
discovered that because this child was poisoned, he was born mute.”
“The Emperor and Empress Xiao Hui had wished for a son for so long. A mute son would
probably only torment the Emperor even more and not less. Therefore, I decided to keep him
alive for a few days longer and let him be like the 4th Prince, dying slowly due to “poor health.”
However, later on Pu Liu had discovered the secret drug. Thus I had told her– she was also
responsible for the 4th Prince’s death, that she had already unknowingly become my accomplice.
I also threatened her with the lives of her family members, forcing her to have no choice but to
take the secret drug and once again poison the 5th Prince through breastfeeding.”
“However, her conscience ultimately couldn’t take it. She wanted to arouse the Emperor and
Empress Xiao Hui’s vigilance, but ended up being banished from the Imperial Palace and dying
from the effects of poison. Her family also died tragically after her. This was the result of her
lack of appreciation for my kindness…… Nevertheless, because of this, the 5th Prince was
moved out of ChangChun Palace. The Emperor appointed him with a new wet nurse so I
couldn’t do anything more at that time.”
Princess LangYa’s words terrified everyone who was present. So this was the source of Jing-
wang’s disability. Meanwhile Pu Liu, who Li Yu had originally believed to be the culprit of Jing-
wang’s poison, was actually only a person with a very unfortunate life.
No wonder. That’s why she did her best to leave a clue inside the cloth tiger that she had made
for Jing-wang. She had hoped that Jing-wang would discover it in the future and use it to treat
his poison.
Li Yu finally knew the truth behind all of this and felt extremely sorry for Jing-wang. Jing-
wang’s mutism actually turned out to be a barrier that had saved his life. Just what kind of
malicious heart would commit such evil crimes? Li Yu only regretted that he was too far away
from Princess LangYa. He had slapped the bastard 6th Prince, but didn’t get a chance to give a
hard slap to the utterly deranged princess as well.
Princess LangYa had committed such numerous crimes. Yet she continued to say with a smile:
“The 5th Prince was ‘born’ mute. Empress Xiao Hui was in such agony she wished she were
dead. Therefore, I gave her a hand, so that she wouldn’t feel too sorrowful.”
“You–” The Emperor couldn’t take the sharp pain, feeling like a knife was being twisted in his
heart: “Who’d have imagined that Xiao Hui was also murdered by you!”
“So what?” Princess LangYa raised her chin proudly: “After experiencing everything with
Empress Xiao Hui, I also thought of a new plan to get my revenge. What does a deceased wife
and deceased sons count for? Only by taking away your nation, can I soothe the hatred in my
heart! When you entered ChangChun Palace to grieve for Empress Xiao Hui, I gave you a
drugged drink and made you mistakenly think that you had copulated with me. Then I became a
concubine inside the imperial palace once again. Having an offspring next was only expected.”
“I found a child that had Lou Lan bloodline and made him into the 6th Prince. If he were to
ascend the throne, then this nation would ultimately become Lou Lan’s nation. I was originally
worried that there’d be holes in this plan. However, because you had no feelings towards Zhang-
shi and only sat briefly whenever you visited YongFu palace, you never discovered the secret at
all.”
“All of these years, I did my best to impersonate Zhang-shi. Even Mu TianXiao(6), my nominal
son, didn’t know anything. However, the only issue was that he was not very reliable and
couldn’t even compete with a mute. Since he was seized by Jing-wang, then forget him.”
Princess LangYa looked directly at the Emperor and said in a heavy voice: “With my current
position, I can make you abdicate your throne directly to me, why the hell not!”
Li Yu, who was listening from the side, jolted up like he had just woken up from a dream: ???
Oh fck. Everyone thought that this princess wanted to place the 6th Prince on the throne. Who
could have imagined that after hearing to the end of this speech, she actually wanted to become
the female Emperor herself?
The 6th Prince was also not even the Emperor’s son, but was instead, a dispensable puppet?!
Villains all have an issue with talking too much. Princess LangYa shouldn’t have lied at a time
like this. She also didn’t have any reason to lie.
Abruptly hearing several truths, the Emperor was furious and heartbroken. He didn’t actually
respond to Princess LangYa’s blatant coercion.
Princess LangYa also didn’t care how the Emperor would respond. Having unburdened all of her
feelings in one breath, she proudly regarded everyone who was present, gaze landing on Jing-
wang.
She gave Jing-wang a slight smile and said: “Although I never expected you to be cured of your
mutism, you must have figured out Snow Crow. However, in the end, you were still one step too
late. I was even quicker than you and soft-imprisoned the Emperor. In these years, you have
always been like a fish that had escaped the net. Although I couldn’t manage to take your life, in
the end, I was still one step ahead of you. Now you have no chess piece to threaten me, what can
you possibly do about me?”
Jing-wang mumbled to himself for a moment, then glanced at the fish tank that the 8th Prince
was protecting with his body. Relaxing his hand, he let his dagger fall to the ground.
Li Yu knew that Jing-wang was looking at him.
According to Jing-wang’s original plan, he was going to use the 6th Prince as hostage, and force
Concubine Zhang to exchange with him. This was originally the best plan. However
unexpectedly, Concubine Zhang’s real identity was Princess LangYa, who didn’t care about the
6th Prince at all.
The 6th Prince wasn’t a good enough bargaining chip.
Jing-wang had captured the 6th Prince. Then Princess LangYa sent the 6th Prince to meet his
maker. Even in death, the 6th Prince didn’t know anything. In his whole life, he had used so
many people, but actually, he was the one who was exploited the most. How hilarious. How sad.
He had planned to frame the 8th Prince and Bao#1 for not being royal blood, but didn’t even
know that he was the one with the impure bloodline.
Meanwhile, Princess LangYa had focused wholeheartedly on toppling the Emperor. She had
denounced the Emperor for his abuse of human lives, but hasn’t she harmed countless innocents
herself as well?
Empress Xiao Hui, the 4th Prince, Pu Liu, Jing-wang, even the current 6th Prince.
She hated the Emperor, and with good reason too. However, didn’t the other people also become
sacrificial lambs for her revenge?
How nice she had made it sound, but in the end, it was only to satisfy her selfishness.
Now that Jing-wang lost his bargaining chip, it was impossible for his original plan to work.
He had released his weapon and was waiting to be captured, it was also because he was afraid of
implicating Li Yu.
The look that he had tossed over held a thousand unspoken words; Li Yu understood them all.
Princess LangYa ordered people to come over and take Jing-wang and the Emperor away
together.
The 8th Prince picked up the fish tank on his own and stood next to Jing-wang.
“I’ll give you one more day to think this through. If you’re smart, then abdicate quickly. Or else I
can also have someone replace you.” Princess LangYa urged the Emperor with a stern voice.
The Emperor felt a chill in his heart.
Jing-wang shook his head slightly at the Emperor. Although Princess LangYa can change her
face, she couldn’t impersonate the Emperor so easily. She also couldn’t pretend to have the royal
bloodline. If Prince Li and the royal clan joined forces and questioned this, Princess LangYa’s
puppet would be exposed easily. That’s why she needed the Emperor to abdicate willingly.
No matter how unreasonable transferring the throne to an irrelevant woman was, as long as the
Emperor said it from his own mouth, it’d be justified. If Princess LangYa wanted to ascend the
throne legitimately, this was the only way. If the Emperor agreed to be exploited like this, the
only path left for him would be death.
If Princess LangYa changed her mind and pushed the other two little princes onto the throne, it’d
be extremely disadvantageous towards the Emperor. However, since she hated the Emperor and
hated the Emperor’s bloodline, she shouldn’t take this step.
Therefore, even though they were all prisoners at the moment, they were still temporarily safe.
The Emperor also knew these crucial facts. After they were separated from the concubines and
taken to the side hall with guards standing in position outside, the Emperor said dispiritedly:
“TianChi, I was too careless.”
“When Li Yu had asked me if the harem had any foreigners, I immediately recalled Concubine
Mei. In my whole life, I only accepted this one foreign Concubine. At that time, I wanted to
search for clues at LuoXiao Palace where Concubine Mei had once lived. Unexpectedly, I
encountered Zhang-shi along the way. In a moment of carelessness, I fell into Zhang-shi’s hands.
I had never even imagined that she’d be Concubine Mei……”
“She was the one who had used my name to summon you guys into the palace, planning to
capture everyone all at once. In the end, I was the one who caused trouble for you.” The Emperor
had an extremely mournful expression. After learning the truth behind Empress Xiao Hui and the
4th Prince’s death and the reason for Jing-wang’s poisoning, the Emperor only regretted not
annihilating Lou Lan completely from the start.
The two nations were hostile towards each other anyways. The King of Lou Lan had once vowed
to fight all the way to the Imperial City. At that time, the Emperor was young and full of vigor.
How could he allow King ChangAn to rave such nonsense.
The two nations waged war. If he had been defeated in a fair and upright manner and died on the
battlefield, he’d have nothing to say. However, in the end, the one who lost was King ChangAn.
When King ChangAn had arrived at the Imperial City to present his daughter, the Emperor really
believed everything had ended.
Who would have thought that the presented Princess Langya was actually the true beginning of
all evil.
At that time, the Emperor wasn’t really particularly interested in Princess Langya. He only gave
her a title to placate the original Lou Lan citizens. Back then, he had planned to treat her the
same as his other concubines; however after Princess LangYa entered the imperial palace, she
was focused solely on assassinating him. He knew that he couldn’t keep this woman. Therefore,
he had unhesitatingly bestowed her death. He never even investigated the force that survived
behind this woman.
To be honest, ultimately it was because he had underestimated his enemy; and also because his
enemy was too crafty.
The Emperor was extremely regretful of his past actions. Jing-wang extended a hand and lightly
patted him on the shoulder.
“Save your sorrow, father. This is not the end.” Jing-wang said quickly: “If I may be so bold as
to ask you for an imperial order to summon troops for rescue.”
Ultimately, the Emperor was someone who had experienced great tumult before. He quickly
pulled himself together.
Jing-wang mentioned an imperial order to summon troops for rescue, Of course the Emperor
knew what this meant. Wanting him to write a summon edict was not hard, however, the edict
must be handed to someone who was completely trustworthy. Only through this can the soldiers
defending the Imperial City be gathered to besiege the Imperial palace and rescue out the
Emperor. However, if this edict fell into the wrong hands, the result was too horrible to
contemplate.
“TianChi, are you…… confident here?” The Emperor asked.
“Yes.” Jing-wang responded resolutely.
The Emperor looked at this son of his for a long time. When he had fallen into despair and
thought that it was impossible to turn the tide, Jing-wang still remained calm and composed. The
Emperor unconsciously believed in Jing-wang, that only Jing-wang had a plan to save him.
“Very well, I trust you.” The Emperor said.
The Emperor pulled out an emerald jade box out of his sleeve. This box was about the length of a
finger and was completely empty inside. This was probably why this item still remained on the
Emperor at this time.
The Emperor directly threw the emerald jade box on the ground and broke it into pieces.
From the pieces of broken jade on the floor, half of an iron seal was revealed from where it was
embedded in the jade. On the iron seal was carved the image of a ferocious tiger.
This was……
Jing-wang was startled.
“This is my Tiger Seal. It pieces together with the Tiger Seal in the hands of the General
guarding the city and can be used to mobilize the troops. This item was cleverly hidden. It’s
funny that Princess LangYa had ordered people to search me all over, but they still didn’t find
it.” The Emperor smiled and handed the tiger seal to Jing-wang.
“With this seal, you can summon troops for rescue.”
Jing-wang nodded and accepted it cautiously.
The Emperor asked curiously: “Ganqing palace is already under the control of that woman. The
security is tight. How do you plan to send the Seal out?”
Jing-wang’s gaze landed on the fish tank not far away and walked towards it holding the Tiger
Seal in his hand.
Li Yu was already on the same wavelength as him. He had already raised his fish head and was
waiting impatiently.
“Xiao Yu……”
Jing-wang crouched down.
Li Yu blew a bubble towards the direction of the Tiger Seal. he knew only he could leave here
without anyone realizing, and bring the Tiger Seal to mobilize the rescue troops.
“Give it to fish, no problem!” Li Yu wagged his tail energetically, ready to fight.
Jing-wang had planned just this. However, he didn’t immediately hand over the Tiger Seal.
Instead, he placed his fingers into the water and generally stroked fish’s back. Li Yu felt so
comfortable that the tip of his tail trembled. After getting his back stroked, he didn’t feel it was
enough and even flipped over, belly side up, also letting Jing-wang touch fish’s stomach.
There’s a little sweetie pie in here, although you can’t feel her yet hehehe!
Jing-wang halted, reluctantly caressing fish’s stomach.
“Everything will be fine!” Li Yu knew that Jing-wang was also feeling worried and hastily
wrapped his tail around Jing-wang’s fingers while he himself went to nudge the Tiger Seal
impatiently with his mouth.
Jing-wang finally nodded his head and found a string to tie the Tiger Seal to fish’s body.
“TianChi, you want this fish to deliver it?” The Emperor was dumbfounded.
To let a fish deliver the Tiger Seal, wasn’t this too…….
“Father, trusting him means trusting me.” Jing-wang said.
The Emperor saw that Jing-wang had a serious expression and was definitely not joking right
now. Plus, Jing-wang’s fish seemed very connected with humans and even knew how to slap the
6th Prince’s face. The Emperor had seen this just now with his own eyes.
The astronomy department and Liao Kong both praised this fish before. This fish should be
blessed.
The Emperor convinced himself and accepted Jing-wang’s arrangement.
There was a pond in the side hall of Ganqing Palace that just happened to connect to the outside.
People couldn’t pass through it but a fish can.
Jing-wang picked up Li Yu and gently placed him into the water. Li Yu entered the water and
gave Jing-wang a flying kiss from afar. Then, he waved his tail and quickly swam away.
After leaving everyone’s view, Li Yu immediately stored the Tiger Seal into his interdimensional
space.
Such a precious thing, express delivery fish will definitely hide it well and carry it where it
needed to go!
