The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 44
Chap 44
Jing-wang’s hand was injured. The imperial physicians rushed over like they had fire on their
heels in order to examine Jing-wang’s wound. Yet Jing-wang covered up his wound and used his
eyes to gesture at Wang Xi. Then he glanced at the crystal bottle that Wang Xi brought over.
He was only cut by the fragments of the crystal bottle. Xiao Yu was the first to slam into the
crystal bottle and break it. The fish needed to be examined for any issues first.
Gnashing his teeth, Wang Xi resigned to asking a physician to check the fish. The rest of the
physicians all remained by Jing-wang’s side. Seeing this, Jing-wang finally allowed the imperial
physicians to examine and treat him.
The physician examining the fish very quickly reported that the fish wasn’t injured. Jing-wang
nodded his head. His own injury, however, wasn’t so easily treated. The imperial physicians
needed to first pull out the fragments that were stabbed into his skin. This by itself used up an
incense of time. After cleaning up well, the wound needed to be washed and covered with a
healing ointment. The bloody gauzes had to be switched nonstop. Wang Xi watched with
extreme heartache.
Wang Xi couldn’t resist saying: “Your highness, does it still hurt? Do you want this old servant
to blow on it for you?”
Jing-wang actually didn’t feel much pain by now. Hearing Wang Xi’s nagging, his face almost
turned black.
The imperial physicians finished treating Jing-wang’s injury and then went to report to the
Emperor. Before they left, they instructed Jing-wang that his wound can’t touch water. Eyebrows
furrowed, Wang Xi cautiously moved the crystal bottle far away, afraid that his highness would
go play with the fish soon afterwards.
Exasperated, Jing-wang had to indicate Wang Xi to move the bottle closer. Although Wang Xi
listened, he still placed the crystal bottle at a location that Jing-wang couldn’t reach. Jing-wang
made him go outside and stand guard. Wang Xi walked out, looking back three times with every
step.
Not long after Wang Xi left, Jing-wang got up from the couch and walked to the side of the table
that the crystal bottle was on. The fish inside the bottle had already changed from the brave
fellow who broke out just now to currently looking at him very pitifully.
The little carp made an impressive show of its abilities, attacking the fake monk’s hat and then
falling to the floor. Then, it was taken away by Wang Xi. The new fish scales were really very
powerful. Even after all this ruckus, the fish was still lively and vigorous. It can even jump a few
more monks, no problems.
After causing such chaos, Li Yu still felt a bit like he wanted to do more. Unfortunately, he
wasn’t able to slap the 3rd Prince and 6th Prince as well. However, these two dared to bring fake
monks in front of the Emperor; The Emperor definitely will make them regret it.
Li Yu was just feeling pleased with himself. Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard Wang Xi’s
alarmed shout. When Li Yu turned his head and discovered Jing-wang injured, the fish was also
dumbfounded. Back then, he never imagined Jing-wang would be injured. Even if he broke the
crystal bottle with reckless abandon, the broken pieces didn’t fall towards Jing-wang’s direction.
Jing-wang should have only received a shock at most; he shouldn’t have been injured.
Furthermore, this time he really caused quite a disturbance right in front of the Emperor. Before
when he slapped Qiu-guifei, it wasn’t completely in his face. This time, the Emperor saw
everything, however, he didn’t punish Li Yu. This was also very strange.
Very quickly, Li Yu realized from the Emperor’s furious reprimanding that Jing-wang helped
him round out his abrupt actions. Li Yu had focused single-mindedly on exposing the fake
monks and jumped over without any regard for the consequences, completely not caring if he’d
expose himself– originally, this would have definitely have happened. However, because Jing-
wang purposely injured his own hand and announced the fish’s flying attack as something he
specifically planned, fish became safe yet Jing-wang himself……
Li Yu safely remained inside the crystal bottle, staring at Jing-wang from afar. He didn’t know
how serious Jing-wang’s injury was. He only knew that the Emperor’s face was all twisted; the
imperial physicians all rushed over like a swarm of bees to check on Jing-wang.
Despite all this, Jing-wang still insisted that a physician come check him first.
Actually, it wasn’t necessary. He was very well. What’s there to look at for a fish? However, he
still felt very touched by Jing-wang’s protectiveness over him; he just couldn’t say anything to
Jing-wang about it.
The crystal bottle separated him from the group of people. From the perspective of fish, he could
only see the back views of the imperial physicians running around. Li Yu couldn’t break through
this crystal bottle again and cause more trouble for Jing-wang. Therefore, he could only stick to
the wall of the crystal bottle, looking over frequently.
At this moment, he felt very remorseful that he acted without considering the consequences. If
only Jing-wang didn’t get injured.
One hand inconvenient, Jing-wang used his other intact hand to touch the crystal bottle, straining
to open the cover.
The little carp immediately swam to the opening of the bottle. Because he flipped over the bottle
with his weight before, fish wanted to move closer, but didn’t dare to. He only raised his head
and looked at Jing-wang, flatteringly wagging his tail.
Jing-wang stuck his uninjured hand into the water. The pitiful troublemaker fish immediately
swam over to rub against his fingers.
Although the imperial physician and Wang Xi both said that the fish was fine, Jing-wang can
feel this carp demon was a bit dispirited.
Perhaps this fish was frightened to death about what happened just now and is now feeling down.
Jing-wang stroked it on the head.
Because of losing blood, Jing-wang felt somewhat lethargic. Making certain that the fish was
unharmed, he returned to the couch and turned on his side for a brief rest.
Li Yu was very worried about the condition of Jing-wang’s injury. The side hall only had him
and Jing-wang. Fish form wasn’t convenient and also couldn’t talk. Seeing Jing-wang laying
down and turning away, Li Yu immediately used his skill to transform.
Because right now he had an identity inside Jing Estate, Jing-wang felt bad that he didn’t have
any possessions and bestowed him many old, unworn clothes. Li Yu wasn’t too familiar with this
kind of clothing. Picking two that he liked the most and placing them into his interdimensional
place, in the future, he no longer had to worry about having no clothes and needing to run around
naked.
Li Yu quickly changed into the clothes and came to the couch, lowering his head to look at Jing-
wang’s hand.
The imperial physicians wrapped it well. Jing-wang’s hand was covered by a heavy layer of
bandages. Yet in this short time, it was already oozing with the color of blood.
Li Yu felt extremely bad internally, biting his own lips tightly. Seeing Jing-wang was only laying
on his side without being covered by blankets, Li Yu was afraid he’d get cold while being
injured. He hastily pulled over a light blanket to place over Jing-wang, doing his best to take care
of him.
Jing-wang was secretly anticipating this fish for a long time. In order to trick the fish into
changing forms, he even purposely feigned sleep. When Li Yu leaned close, he immediately
turned around and looked at fish with a smile.
Li Yu suppressed the feeling of heat gushing out of his eyes and said in embarrassment: “Your
highness, you didn’t fall asleep yet? Does your wound still hurt?”
Li Yu already felt plenty of heartache himself. He thought that the other definitely felt even more
pain.
The ointment that the imperial physicians used had an analgesic effect. Jing-wang originally
hadn’t felt pain for a while, however, seeing Xiao Yu’s eyes full of worry, Jing-wang hesitated
for a moment and inexplicably nodded his head.
Jing-wang thought, if he were in pain, would Xiao Yu also be like Wang Xi and volunteer to
blow it for him?
There’s no need for Wang Xi to blow on it, but if it were Xiao Yu blowing, it can be considered.
Jing-wang waited for Xiao Yu to ask. However, Xiao Yu didn’t think this at all. Because Jing-
wang was still hurting, Li Yu hopped up and ran over to grab the jade box that held desserts and
brought it over, pulling out a few peach blossom cookies.
“If your highness is still in pain, then eat something sweet. With good food, your injury won’t
hurt anymore.” The carp demon forced a smile on his face.
Jing-wang: “……”
Jing-wang coughed lightly. No blowing, feeding was fine as well. However, he injured his right
hand. Moving was inconvenient.
Li Yu finally understood and said: “Let me help you.”
He pulled out a cookie and broke it into a size that can be easily swallowed. Royalty in ancient
times wouldn’t casually eat food from anyone’s hand. Li Yu swiftly swallowed a piece himself
first: “You can eat this. It’s not poisoned. It tastes fine to me. Your highness, please feel at ease.”
Jing-wang: “……”
Jing-wang trusted him anyways and felt this was superfluous. However, there’s no need to
mention it at this moment.
Li Yu picked up the remaining peach blossom cookie and held it next to Jing-wang’s lips. He
stared as the other slowly ate two pieces and couldn’t help but think, before master fed fish this
way, now fish was feeding master.
Li Yu’s eyes still burned. Originally, he was able to suppress it. The moment he lost focus, two
teardrops fell uncontrollably.
Jing-wang, Li Yu: “……”
Li Yu hastily rubbed his reddened eyes. Jing-wang didn’t know he was fish. To suddenly cry
tears would scare the other man!
Li Yu quickly said: “Sorry, your highness, sand got into my eyes. I–”
These words were easy to say, but his emotions were like a flood that breached the dam. Once it
broke through a weakened area, it couldn’t be held back. Similarly, what couldn’t be held back
were Li Yu’s tears. Li Yu actually didn’t really cry much. Nevertheless, he covered his face with
his hands, shoulders shaking for a moment. When he finally let everything out and calmed down,
his entire face was drenched.
Li Yu who felt like he just embarrassed himself to death: “……”
QQQ, he originally wanted to take care of his master, yet now it’s turned into letting his master
have a laugh.
Eyelids faintly swollen, Li Yu said with a hoarse voice: “Sorry. I saw you injured and got a bit
scared.”
Facing this extremely clumsy lie, Jing-wang paused for a moment and then patted Li Yu’s hand
with a smile.
Unfortunately, his hand was wrapped up and couldn’t hold a brush. So he couldn’t say what he
wanted to say.
Seeing Xiao Yu shed tears, he also didn’t feel very well inside. Ultimately it was his
powerlessness that made Xiao Yu worry.
Jing-wang pulled over a clean towel next to the pillow and silently handed it to Li Yu.
Li Yu switched to wiping his face with the towel. After wiping, he gave a smile: “Are you still in
pain, your highness?”
Jing-wang: “……”
His highness grumbled internally: even if he were hurting, you won’t blow on it anyways.
Afraid Xiao Yu would worry, Jing-wang changed to shaking his head this time.
Li Yu said: “Then you should sleep a little longer. Sleeping will help your injury get better
faster.”
Really?
Jing-wang never heard this before. Still he did what Li Yu said and laid down.
Li Yu sat right by the couch. After a while, he thought of something and wanted to get up. Jing-
wang immediately grabbed his arm.
Li Yu said awkwardly: “Your highness, I’m going to pour a cup of water for you.”
Originally, Li Yu saw Jing-wang’s lips looking dry and thought the other might need some water
to moisten his throat.
Jing-wang shook his head, refusing to drink. Li Yu couldn’t do anything about it and can only
give up his plan.
Because Jing-wang was holding his arm, Li Yu couldn’t walk away. Jing-wang needed to sleep;
he could only watch from the side. However, it wasn’t like sitting at the bedside was tiring or
anything.
Jing-wang quietly laid down for a while. Then his closed eyes opened again. A deep gaze full of
emotions landed on Li Yu.
Recently, the other always used this kind of gaze to look at him. Different from when he looked
at the 3rd prince, the 6th prince, and even Wang-gonggong. Li Yu always seemed to catch a faint
hint of a smile from it.
“Does your highness need anything else?” Li Yu asked with concern, not even noticing how
exceptionally gentle his own tone was.
Jing-wang pressed his lips together. His highness wanted intimacy, but this fish wasn’t self-
aware at all. He had no choice but to use some additional tactics.
Therefore, the warm and snug Jing-wang, who was bundled up by blankets, started to do his best
to shiver.
Li Yu: “…….”
“Does your highness feel cold?”
Jing-wang: Nod, nod.
Li Yu thought, losing blood does make people feel cold. This also applied to the tyrant.
However, there were no extra blankets on the couch. Li Yu hastily said: “Please wait for a
second, your highness. I’ll go find another blanket……”
Li Yu wanted to go find blankets, however, Jing-wang abruptly got up faster than him and pulled
him back down on the couch. He patted Li Yu on the shoulder, making him sit down properly.
Li Yu: ???
Li Yu didn’t understand, so he followed accordingly. Then, he watched wide-eyed as this large
and tall, blanket-wrapped man fall down feebly, head resting on his leg.
Li Yu: “…………….”
So. When someone’s cold, they just needed to sleep on another person’s leg to not feel cold
anymore?
Sounds about right. The human’s body produced heat. Perhaps this was even more comfortable
than being wrapped in another layer of blankets.
Before, Li Yu’s eyes were burning. Now, it was his face that was burning. Randomly stuttering
internally, he convinced himself. Jing-wang got injured because of him. What’s wrong with
using his leg as a pillow for a while?
Li Yu did his best to ignore the strange feeling on his leg.
Jing-wang closed both eyes in satisfaction, the corner of his mouth raising faintly. He did his best
to shiver again.
“Still cold, your highness?” Li Yu asked carefully.
Jing-wang nodded, nodded, and nodded again.
Li Yu thought that in the end, Jing-wang got injured because of him. So he held Jing-wang in
resignation.
“How about now?” Li Yu asked.
Jing-wang: “…….”
His highness was freezing to death. He really wanted to have his essence absorbed.
