The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 63

Chap 63
Right now was not the time to bicker about this messed up thing– Li Yu quickly straightened his
runaway thoughts and focused on looking at the “revitalize” main mission.

The next step: Be joined at the hip with the tyrant, stuck together like glue.

Hint: None.

Li Yu was just thinking that he will stop playing smart tricks and start to solve the main mission
seriously as quickly as possible. Upon seeing the update to the main mission, Li Yu: “…….”

System, you come out right now. I promise I won’t beat you to death!

Li Yu can mistake “wind, flower, snow, and moon” into drinking together, but how was he
supposed to “be joined at the hip” with Jing-wang? The two of them didn’t even start a pure and
innocent romance yet!

Furthermore, this main mission should be split into several steps. If It already required them to
be joined at the hip, then what will he need to do in the future?

Li Yu’s eyes twitched terribly. He kept feeling like this kind of development wasn’t a good sign.
This “joined together at the hip”……. can wait for now.

Li Yu left the System like his tail was on fire.

Whenever he was inside the system, his actual fish body would temporarily lose awareness.
When Li Yu returned to his body, he immediately saw an enlarged handsome face.

Jing-wang, who said he had urgent business, was back already and currently holding a jade
scepter, about to feed fish.

Li Yu: “……”
Just now when he was squished inside the carriage and kissed repeatedly, he didn’t notice, but
now that he was suddenly seeing the person he liked, fish actually started feeling somewhat
embarrassed!

With this embarrassment, his head and fish fins both started to crash; fish immediately started to
sink to the bottom of the water.

Jing-wang hastily reached in a hand to support fish.

Li Yu looked at him foolishly, heart feeling like spring water being blown by the breeze, creating
ripples and ripples of happy waves. No wonder he always felt that this person looked extremely
pleasing no matter from what angle or perspective. So it was because Li Yu liked him!

……. So this kind of feeling… was like.

Li Yu suddenly jumped up in shock. He randomly swam around two circles where he was and
then dove straight into a fake mountain cave, only revealing the tip of his tail. This speed this
time was even faster than when he was running away in anger.

Good thing fish was covered by fish scales all over. Or else, fish would have flushed visibly red
all over.

Fish was hiding inside the fake mountain cave again. Jing-wang was a bit worried that maybe
fish got stuck again or was throwing a temper at him again.

He attempted to flick the fish’s tail briefly. The fish’s tail trembled violently and then pulled
completely inside the cave.

Jing-wang: “…….”

These last few days, Jing-wang figured out that the rule here was to slowly coax the fish and not
act too hasty.

Recalling the kiss inside the carriage, Jing-wang smiled slightly.

Although Xiao Yu was still unable to say everything he wanted in the end, Jing-wang’s mood
was exceptionally good.
Li Yu hid inside the mountain cave, occasionally eavesdropping the activity outside. He also
continued to think about his future plans. When he still didn’t realize his own feelings, he might
have felt conflicted and indecisive. But once he realized it, all first timers were brave advancing
warriors. No matter how dangerous or difficult the future can be, it was nothing to the current
him.

When he finally realized that he liked Jing-wang, this was when he realized just how deep this
‘like’ was. Just reuniting everyday normally and seeing this person again made him feel
extremely delighted.

‘Like’ was what made him want to give this romantic relationship a try. Even if this road wasn’t
easy, without trying and walking down it, how was he supposed to talk about the future?

However, being a fish ultimately wasn’t enough for dating someone else. Right now, he only had
two short hours to be human. Using it to date probably won’t even be enough time to feel
embarrassed.

Therefore, it’s best to change back into a human as soon as possible and also not get too close to
Jing-wang before then. Even if he liked the other, he still needed to maintain a certain distance.
He definitely can’t allow Jing-wang to discover his secret.

…… got it. He can lay down 3 basic rules with Jing-wang! According to his observation of Jing-
wang in the last few days, Jing-wang would most likely agree to his requests!

Holding hands was fine. Going on dates was fine. Kissing…… it’s not like they haven’t kissed
plenty of times already, of course that’s fine too.

Then… then what about the unspeakable?

Li Yu, who had secretly peeked into the little yellow book before, felt a bit eager. He was only a
normal boy afterall. Of course he also had things he was looking forward to doing. To be honest,
he was not against Jing-wang’s intimacy towards him. Before was all a misunderstanding. He
didn’t realize his own feelings on time. Right now, not only was he not against this kind of thing;
he was secretly a little hopeful. Everyone was all adults here. Logically, with feelings, this kind
of thing came naturally as well.

With a reddened face, Li Yu uncontrollably thought about a certain exciting and intense activity
reaching a certain climax, and then himself in the middle of the xxxx process suddenly turning
back into a fish……
That scene definitely would be so beautiful, it won’t be able to be viewed directly. He and Jing-
wang might both have blood exploding everywhere.

In order to avoid that kind of accident, Li Yu ended up giving a big X to unspeakable activities
for now. With a regretful face, he thought. Men…should still control their lower half. But once
he finished doing the main mission, he won’t have anything to worry about!

Both excited and emotional, Li Yu laid on a small rock inside the cave and restlessly turned
around until his fish body practically polished the little rock smooth, before finally managing to
fall asleep.

After waking up, Jing-wang was no longer present. Apparently Jing-wang received the
Emperor’s summons bright and early in the morning. The Emperor had ordered Jing-wang to
enter the palace to discuss something.

Yesterday night when Jing-wang returned, fish was too embarrassed to leave the cave. When
Jing-wang got up this morning to receive the Emperial’s verbal orders, fish was sleeping soundly
and completely unaware. Jing-wang stroked the fish tail that was exposed outside of the cave and
thoughtfully entered the palace himself, afraid of waking the fish up.

Li Yu was pretty aware of the big picture. He understood that meeting the Emperor was
important. However, now that the novel plot has been completely messed up, Li Yu thought for
quite a while but still can’t think of what kind of event could be occurring right now. The 3rd
Prince and 6th Prince both received corporal punishments and were now learning to behave
properly with tails between their legs. The Emperor might be just feeling like a benevolent father
and wanted to catch up with Jing-wang. Also, it’s possible that there was finally results to the
investigation before regarding the nursery rhyme and fake monks. Maybe the Emperor was
giving Jing-wang something for compensation.

Li Yu felt this trip into the palace shouldn’t be a bad thing. His heart gradually calmed down.

He calculated the time for Jing-wang’s return and changed form. Placing the fish pillow inside
the crystal tank, Li Yu picked a silver colored robe that he liked a lot and put it on, tidying the
lapels himself.

He still had the hairpin that Jing-wang gave him. To use it, he had to wear his hair in a bun. Li
Yu didn’t really know how to do it. Wang-gonggong had also accompanied Jing-wang into the
palace. He didn’t feel comfortable asking others, so he could only improvise. Finding a silver
hair tie, he made a little pony tail and then stuck the jade hairpin into it, leaving the round fat fish
outside.

Li Yu nodded as he looked into the bronze mirror, feeling that he looked pretty good.

Jing-wang still didn’t come back. Li Yu sat in front of the table, spread a piece of paper and
wrote down everything he thought about during the night while he waited for Jing-wang.

Ganqing Palace.

Li Yu wasn’t wrong. The imperial guards of the Emperor just discovered that the people who
first spread the nursery rhyme used to defame Jing-wang were the 3rd Prince’s subordinates.
They also found many civilian witnesses and brought them in front of the Emperor for the
Emperor to question them personally. After a break of several days, the Emperor was once again
enraged by the 3rd Prince. At this time, the head divinator, Sun SiMiao, from the astronomy
department came forth and reported that according to their investigations, one of the members of
the astronomy department had received a bribe; meanwhile the person who provided the money
for this bribe was also the 3rd Prince, Mu TianMing!

The Emperor finally realized why the 3rd Prince would suspect the astronomy department that
day without any apparent reason. Was he trying to create an opportunity for the person that he
bribed?

The 3rd Prince attempted to use a nursery rhyme and fake monks to hurt Jing-wang. He also
attempted to extend his hands into the astronomy department. These actions pretty much violated
all of the Emperor’s taboos. The Emperor was just looking for a suitable chance to punish the 3rd
Prince again. At this time, the 3rd Prince practically asked for it by doing another stupid thing.

So after all of these days, the injury that the 3rd Prince had received from the beating got much
better. He started to order a personal servant to watch the reports heading towards the Emperor
everyday. The 3rd Prince was very unwilling to read and study together with the little princes.
The Emperor made it sound nice, saying it’s to let him study, but he wasn’t a little kid anymore.
In the royal family, adult Princes should help the Emperor share his burden and participate
politically. Yet he was only allowed to read. If the Emperor didn’t say anything, how long was
he supposed to read until? Wasn’t this the same as ordering him to never get involved in politics
ever again?
When the 2nd Prince made a mistake before, he was only sent to solitary confinement, but ended
up being confined until he went insane. Even then, the Emperor still didn’t let him out and even
stopped mentioning the 2nd Prince after that.

The 3rd Prince finally knew fear and felt extremely regretful. He went to ask the 6th prince for
help. The 6th prince, who also received the beating and was recovering, asked him to go into
hibernation. But the 3rd Prince was unwilling to keep wasting time. His birth mother, concubine
Zhang, frequently contacted several of the wifes of government officials who supported him.
Through this layer of relationship, Mu TianMing(3) asked those officials to beg for mercy for
him in court and ask the Emperor to allow him to take assignments again. He didn’t particularly
hope for any grand task. Whatever was fine, as long as it allowed him to appear before the
Emperor and prevent the Emperor from forgetting him.

The court officials discussed and then wrote a report stating basically: the 3rd Prince learned
from his mistakes and regretted sincerely. He was willing to help the Emperor share his burdens.
They even specifically invited an extremely articulate scholar from the HanLin academy to write
the 3rd Prince’s recent experiences extremely pitifully, in hope that their father-son relationship
would gain the 3rd Prince some tears of sympathy.

The officials didn’t know if the Emperor felt touched upon reading the report, however, the
Emperor was rather infuriated by the fact that several of his officials joined together to write and
sign this report. He had just received information that the 3rd Prince bribed a member of the
astronomy department. Now there were a bunch of officials in court begging mercy for him. One
of the Emperor’s specific taboos was regarding princes having personal dealings with his court
officials. The 3rd Prince wasn’t even near the crown prince position, yet he was already
attempting to pressure the Emperor?

The Emperor only ordered the 3rd Prince to go study and read for a few days to polish his
impatient personality. Did the 3rd Prince not even understand this? How was he supposed to
reflect on his mistakes then!?

The Emperor remembered all of the officials involved. The 3rd Prince waited left and right, but
didn’t manage to receive the Emperor’s pardon. The Emperor not only ordered him to study
together with the two little princes #7 and #8. He also ordered the 3rd Prince to copy the Book of
Filial Piety everyday, which was to be inspected by the imperial tutor.

The 3rd Prince lost all face. The officials that the Emperor noted were also either transferred or
demoted later on. After a long time passed, the 3rd Prince finally realized that he made another
mistake again. He went in search of his trusty advisor, the 6th Prince, again; the 6th Prince also
couldn’t do anything.
It’s easier to lose things than to regain them. I told you to hibernate, but you refused to listen.
Who let you make things worse until everything was useless?

Angered by the 3rd Prince, the Emperor thought, none of his capable sons had any proper
mindsets at all. His two small sons were still too young, so it’s too early to tell. The imperial
guards already confirmed that the 6th Prince was working for the 3rd Prince. The Emperor was
already disgusted with the 3rd Prince. But with some heavy pointers and stern guidance, perhaps
the 6th Prince can still be remedied. However, if he had to switch to grooming the 6th Prince, for
some inexplicable reason, the Emperor just couldn’t do it.

The Emperor inevitably thought of another one of his sons, Jing-wang. Thinking of Jing-wang’s
name, and the chess games they’ve had, the Emperor knew that Jing-wang was very talented. But
just because he was a naturally born mute, and also to protect Jing-wang, the Emperor has never
given Jing-wang any important positions.

But who can even understand all the troubles he’s gone through? The 2nd Prince and 3rd Prince
were all shortsighted, constantly attempting to hurt Jing-wang and people close to Jing-wang.
Perhaps they felt like the unimportant Jing-wang was someone who would be bullied.

These people didn’t consider showing respect to the Emperor. In return, he won’t consider their
feelings anymore. If Jing-wang wanted to establish a place in front of the new ruler in the future,
it didn’t have to be based on the pity of the new ruler. It can be something that he, the current
Emperor, builds for him.

In any case, choosing a crown prince was not urgent to the Emperor at the moment. Now that the
3rd Prince has done all those despicable things, he needed to appease Jing-wang again.
