The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 134
Chap 134
Li Yu had changed back and forth in the water, his clothes were pretty much drenched.
Leaving the lotus pond, he walked with the kids to the swimming veranda nearby. He discovered
that Gale was standing guard there. Seeing Li Yu coming over, it happily wagged its tail at him.
Leading the way, Gale guided Li Yu to a nearby room. Inside the room was a lot of clean
clothes, not to mention there weren’t anyone else there. Li Yu understood that Ye QingHuan had
arranged this and felt very appreciative. He quickly changed into the clothes.
There were two doors in this room. Li Yu walked out using a different door than the one he had
entered. Very quickly, a servant came over to guide him to see Old ChengEn Gong.
Ye Qian already invited Prince Li over. Previously, Prince Li thought the Old ChengEn Gong
was overthinking too much and didn’t want to recklessly enter the palace. However, after seeing
the Tiger Seal in Ye QingHuan’s hands with his own eyes, Prince Li immediately knew that
things really didn’t look good.
Prince Li examined the Tiger Seal back and forth, inspecting it.
“Where did you get this Tiger Seal?” Prince Li asked.
Li Yu said: “It was retrieved from an emerald jade box that the Emperor had smashed.”
Prince Li had wanted to verify the hiding place of the Tiger Seal and use it to determine the
trustworthiness of Li Yu’s words.
Looks like Li Yu wasn’t lying.
Prince Li asked Li Yu to explain again what had happened at Ganqing Palace.
Li Yu cooperated and explained. When he reached the part about Princess LangYa, Prince Li
asked about it several times. This foreigner princess had concealed herself inside the Imperial
Palace for so many years, and even impersonated someone else. Prince Li was shocked.
Naturally, he had to make sure to ask about it clearly. Li Yu understood this, and revealed
everything that he had heard.
Prince Li then asked: “Since Princess LangYa had controlled GanQing Palace, how did you
bring the Tiger Seal out?”
This was an area of suspicion to Prince Li. In regards to the Emperor’s safety, he can’t allow any
room for error.
Li Yu was briefly stunned. How was he supposed to explain this?
Li Yu thought for a moment and said: “His highness raised a fish. He hid the Tiger Seal with the
fish…… inside the fish tank’s fake mountain and then found an excuse to send the fish tank to
me. I was originally staying at Qianqiu Palace, not in the same place as him. The guards of
Qingqiu palace weren’t as strict as those at GanQing Palace. Perhaps they didn’t think I was a
threat to them. After I found the Tiger Seal, I secretly slipped out to bring the news.”
This explanation pretty much completed Li Yu’s lie. There were still holes all over. Prince Li
still wanted to ask some more, but Ye QingHuan scrambled to help Li Yu out: “He already put
himself in great peril to bring the Tiger Seal. In such an urgent situation, he might not have been
able to remember everything clearly. Why continue questioning nonstop. Saving the Emperor is
more important. Let’s first discuss our attack plan.”
Li Yu gave Ye QingHuan a grateful look.
Prince Li agreed with this suggestion. He immediately brought the Tiger Seal with ChengEn
Gong to the General guarding the city to summon the rescue soldiers. Ye QingHuan was in
charge of gathering the manpower inside the estate to support the rescue troops. Ye Qian was
elderly. Moving around was inconvenient for him. Therefore, he oversaw the entire operation
and commanded from ChengEn Palace Estate.
Li Yu definitely planned to participate in the operation to save his hubby. There’s no doubt about
this. He still entrusted the kids to Wang Xi’s care.
Dressed in a little riding outfit and holding a little slingshot in hand, Bao#1 marched his little
short legs and walked over unsteadily; he clung to Li Yu’s pant leg.
“Bao#1, save grandpa.” Bao#1 said resolutely.
Li Yu’s eyes felt somewhat moist. He picked up Bao#1 and nuzzled the child’s soft cheek.
“Bao#1, be good.” Li Yu comforted him with a warm voice: “Grandpa will definitely be fine
very soon.”
Li Yu returned Bao#1 back to Wang Xi. From the bulging little riding outfit that Bao#1 wore, Li
Yu recalled one thing and went in search of Ye QingHuan again.
“You want us all to wear heavy armor, helmets and shields?” Ye QingHuan was shocked.
Attacking the Imperial Palace was extremely urgent. If they specifically got those ready, there
might not be enough time. Plus, usually only troops had armor. The guards from the estate didn’t
have those.
Li Yu explained with hand gestures: “Princess LangYa has a certain… liquid on her that
would……”
Not knowing how to say ‘corrode’ to ancient people, he thought for a moment and said: “If
touched, it would cause people to rot all over and die. It’s very powerful. I saw it once with my
own eyes. We have to be extremely careful.”
…… so that’s why. Ye QingHuan has been educated by his own father since young. Although he
wasn’t afraid to die, it was still best to be as careful as possible. He ordered people to spread this
news to the troops. All of the guards of the estate obtained shields. Those who had armor wore
their armor. Those that didn’t have armor wore heavy padded jackets. All the skin that was
exposed outside was wrapped in heavy bandages. When possible, the plan was to kill using bow
and arrow from afar.
Ye QingHuan had his own gold armor. Old ChengEn Gong also had a set. Before departure, he
found it and gave it to Li Yu. Li Yu gave a thousand thanks and then put it on. Everyone else had
all gotten pretty much ready.
Last, Ye QingHuan hugged his worriless and carefree daughter for a while. Looking back, his
wife, the JinJue Princess, watched him with reddened eyes. For a second, Ye QingHuan thought
she was going to stop him. Unexpectedly, the Princess said in a choked voice: “Be careful on the
road. Come back quickly.”
Feeling warmth in his chest, Ye QingHua nodded his head firmly.
The Princess was so conscientious of priorities, Ye QingHuan can only choke down the words of
comfort that he had prepared beforehand.
“Don’t worry, I will be back soon.” Ye Qinghuan was convinced that the two of them would
definitely see each other again soon.
Prince Li and ChengEn Gong, along with the prestigious Tiger General in charge of guarding the
city, led the troops together and hurried off majestically to the Imperial City.
Outside of the gates of the Imperial Palace, the Tiger General pulled out the two halves of the
Tiger Seal and joined them together seamlessly. Seeing the person who held the Tiger Seal was
equivalent to seeing the Emperor. The guards at the gates all knelt down and bowed respectfully.
Those with ill intentions, the Tiger General gave orders to kill on the spot. Princess LangYa had
to use over ten years to build her Lou Lan force inside the Imperial Palace. Because she couldn’t
reveal her true identity, despite their expertise, there weren’t actually a large number of people
within this group. They had relied on a surprise attack to take over GanQing Palace and sent
false Imperial edicts all over. On the contrary, most of the guards inside the Imperial Palace
listened to the Emperor’s orders. When they saw the Tiger Seal, they immediately stopped
resisting. The troops advanced unimpeded, like a hot knife through butter, winning every fight.
Li Yu was still not very good at riding a horse. Ye QingHuan found a short little donkey for Li
Yu to ride. He also arranged for a squad of guards to station on the left and right side of Li Yu to
protect him.
Li Yu, who was impatiently swinging his little whip: feels like I’m the safest fish in this world.
When the rebel army attacked back, Ye QingHuan brought the guards of ChengEn palace Estate
and got mixed into the fight. It just happened that some of the escaping Lou Lan soldiers
surrounded Ye QingHuan.
In terms of combat skills, Ye QingHuan wasn’t any inferior to Jing-wang. He used his sword to
block and occasionally counterattacked. Not long afterwards, he injured one of them. This
soldier pretended to be invincible and stabbed himself a few times, then charged towards Ye
QingHuan.
Li Yu was too familiar with this series of movements and hastily said: “Watch out!”
Ye QingHuan raised his shield and blocked in front of his chest, completely stopping the ‘corpse
dissolving liquid’ that this person had sprayed out. This liquid couldn’t go through a heavy
shield. Ye QingHuan remained uninjured.
The guards all imitated him and used their shields whenever they encountered the liquid.
Nevertheless, some still accidentally splattered on people. However, since they were all wearing
heavy clothes, they’d just immediately get rid of the clothes to avoid being injured by the ‘corpse
dissolving liquid’.
When they encountered Lou Lan forces again, Ye QingHuan directly drew a bow and shot
arrows, not giving them the time to play any more dirty tricks.
The unique Lou Lan battle tactic was completely suppressed. Very quickly, the rescue troops
arrived outside of GanQing Palace.
Princess LangYa never expected that the rescue troops would arrive so quickly. She had wanted
the Emperor to consent to abdication. The Emperor said he needed to consider it. Several hours
later, he still replied that he needed time to consider it.
Princess LangYa practically wished that she could directly kill the Emperor, but she couldn’t.
With the Emperor’s death, this nation would still land in the hands of a prince or grand-prince.
Wouldn’t the strategy that she had been fermenting all of these years just end up being a stepping
stone for someone else?
After learning that the Imperial City’s defenders had sieged into the palace, and figuring out who
were leading the charge, Princess LangYa’s expression darkened.
She ordered her subordinates to bring the Emperor, Jing-wang, and the two little Princes outside
of the side hall of GanQing Palace.
If she couldn’t obtain the throne, then she’ll just make the Emperor and all of his bloodlines are
eliminated!
When Prince Li and ChengEn Gong rushed over, Princess LangYa still used the Emperor as her
hostage and screamed madly: “If you guys dare to take one more step, I’ll kill the Emperor
without even leaving a corpse for you!”
Prince Li was worried about the Emperor’s safety. The rescue troops stood by right outside of
GanQing Palace, not daring to enter the main hall. The archers on the two sides waged battle,
causing the death of another wave of soldiers.
Princess LangYa’s troops were far less in numbers than the rescue soldiers. Very quickly, her
few remaining archers were also worn down.
Princess LangYa pulled out her sword and swung at the Emperor, wanting to take the Emperor
down with her.
Not too early and not too late, Jing-wang blocked right in front of the Emperor, pulling out a
sharp dagger with his hand. He knocked away Princess LangYa’s sword and directly pressed it
against her throat.
Princess LangYa’s beautiful face lost color: “Weren’t, weren’t you already weaponless?”
Jing-wang’s sword was already taken away before he entered the Imperial Palace. The dagger
that was hidden in his boot was also seized. That’s why she had felt it safe to lock Jing-wang and
the Emperor together in the same place. So where did Jing-wang obtain another weapon?
Jing-wang smiled faintly: “I was already carrying a dagger for protection. Before coming here,
wangfei gave me another one.”
If he didn’t relinquish his weapon once, how was he supposed to make Princess LangYa lower
her vigilance? How was he supposed to get close to the Emperor and obtain the Tiger Seal?
When Jing-wang pretended to give up his dagger, he had already figured out a plan to take down
his enemy.
Princess LangYa laughed out loud at the top of her lungs. Seeing the Emperor free from danger,
Ye QingHuan seized the moment and shot an arrow towards Princess LangYa.
Jing-wang’s dagger also struck at the same time. Princess LangYa was hard pressed. If she
dodged the arrow, she couldn’t dodge the dagger, and vice versa.
Princess LangYa revealed an odd faint smile. She dodged the arrow, and slammed right into
Jing-wang’s dagger.
“There’s no time to kill the Emperor. No time. Then I might as well kill Jing-wang, who should
have died a long time ago……” Princess LangYa mumbled.
“Those of us from Lou Lan usually hid our most powerful ‘move’ within our bodies. Snow Crow
is nothing. The most powerful poison from Lou Lan, is called ‘Annihilation’…..”
She smiled despairingly and sorrowfully and then suddenly used her sword to break the trigger
within her body, shooting out spurts of liquid.
“TianChi–!” Li Yu was far away, surrounded tightly by Ye QingHuan’s subordinates. He
couldn’t run over and can only yell loudly.
Princess LangYa’s movement was swift, however, Jing-wang was vigilantly guarding against her
at all times. Seeing her hold her sword like she was about to cut her own throat, Jing-wang
already knew it was a trap. Unphased, he extended a leg and kicked over a table that was to the
side, effectively blocking the ‘corpse dissolving liquid’ — Annihilation, that was heading towards
him.
Princess LangYa didn’t dare to believe it. The move that the Lou Lans were extremely proud
of… was made useless just like this.
Immediately afterwards, Jing-wang sent her off with his dagger.
Before Princess LangYa died, she continued to stare at the Emperor with a hateful gaze, still
mouthing curses that only she could hear.
Very quickly, under the effects of Annihilation, she disappeared completely.
The rescue troops broke through GanQing Palace and wiped out the surviving members of the
Lou Lan force. A flock of Imperial Physicians rushed over and scrambled over each other to
assess the Emperor’s health.
Head manager Luo, who had been imprisoned for several days now, was rescued from a nearby
palace and ran over to kowtow to the Emperor and pay his respects, laughing and crying at the
same time.
Jing-wang forced himself against the tide and through the wave of people, searching relentlessly
for that familiar figure.
With a fleeting glance just now, he seemed to have seen Li Yu and also heard Li Yu’s voice.
However, after dealing with Princess LangYa, and the arrival of all of these people, he couldn’t
find Li Yu no matter what.
Jing-wang continued to search relentlessly.
A few guards noticed him and made a path for him. Jing-wang immediately saw a donkey
restlessly spinning around in circles. On the donkey sat a person. It was Li Yu.
“TianChi, you’re here? Come help me, quickly! This donkey won’t stop.”
Li Yu, who discovered that after waving his little whip, the donkey refused to stop: “……..”
Seeing Li Yu scratching his head in frustration, Jing-wang couldn’t resist smiling.
Xiao Yu didn’t know how to ride a horse. It looks like a donkey didn’t work out very well either.
