The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 72

Chap 72
Li Yu really felt like he should warn Jing-wang. Since in the original novel, the 6th Prince was a
formidable enemy for Jing-wang. Now that the 2nd Prince has been discarded and the 3rd Prince
lost favor, the 6th Prince shouldn’t be overlooked in this battle for the throne.

Li Yu once persuaded Jing-wang to “guard against” the 6th Prince. However, in actuality, Li Yu
knew very well that an opponent like the 6th Prince can’t be defeated just by passively
“guarding.” In the original novel, Jing-wang and ChengEn Place Estate suffered plenty as a
result. It would be better to defeat the 6th Prince before he had a chance to expand his power and
influence.

But how can Li Yu persuade Jing-wang to take action?

He– first, lived in the estate and didn’t really go out much; 2nd, was not a son of nobility. Even
though currently, he was dating Jing-wang and Jing-wang pampered him a lot, he still didn’t
believe that he had enough confidence to persuade Jing-wang in this matter.

To be honest, he wasn’t confident at all.

He wasn’t a good strategist. Analyzing the situation was also not his strong point. He could only
vaguely understand that guarding was being defensive and won’t change the current state of
affairs. Meanwhile, taking action meant going on the offense. This meant that Jing-wang needed
to abandon his usual steady style of doing things. But as a result, it would attract the 6th Prince’s
attention. Jing-wang probably still didn’t have any plans to fight for the throne. If he officially
crossed swords with the 6th Prince, even if Jing-wang didn’t plan to fight for the throne, he’d
have to fight anyways……

Alright. Actually, what’s even harder than making Jing-wang get rid of the 6th Prince was
convincing Jing-wang to fight for the throne.

Before, Jing-wang could guard against the 6th Prince just on Li Yu’s words. However, he
definitely wouldn’t fight for the throne without a proper reason.

Li Yu was also worried. If he started to shift the topic of their conversation to fighting for the
throne, would Jing-wang think Li Yu was harboring ulterior motives and trying to use Jing-
wang?
Li Yu, who was completely unaware that Jing-wang had already started to arrange things: QQ,
how to convince Jing-wang?

No matter what happened, he still had to give it a try. The 3rd Prince had a setback and was
unable to rise now, but the 6th Prince was still bouncing around cheerfully, even daring to
present a beauty to the Emperor– This just happened to indicate that the 6th Prince was already
trying to build support for himself inside the Emperor’s harem. Can’t let the 6th Prince prevail.

Setting aside free time, the human form Li Yu said to Jing-wang: “Your highness, the 6th
Prince……”

Li Yu thought for a moment and wanted to use Jing-wang’s status and identity as reason and
logic for taking action.

Hearing the 6th Prince’s name, Jing-wang narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Jing-wang didn’t like the 6th Prince, but Li Yu didn’t seem to notice at all and continued to
mention him nonstop. Not giving Li Yu any time to respond, Jing-wang tackled Li Yu onto the
bed and roughly blocked his lips.

Ever since the two people got together, in terms of intimacy, Jing-wang always followed along to
Li Yu, doing whatever Li Yu wanted, giving Li Yu whatever he wanted. Even though he
couldn’t do it until the very end, Jing-wang still waited very patiently and was never rough. On
the contrary, he was even extremely concerned with Li Yu’s feelings, really never getting angry
at Li Yu. Although Li Yu didn’t say anything outright, Li Yu also really liked being intimate
with Jing-wang, almost forgetting that the person that he was dating had a tyrant character
setting.

With this tackle, all of Jing-wang’s overbearing dominance and ruthlessness erupted outward.

Li Yu made muffled yells and hit the other on his chest. He liked mutual affections and sweet
nothingness. He didn’t like this rough messing around, he– he needed to talk about proper
business!

However, it was almost as if Jing-wang didn’t hear at all, and also didn’t care. He only pressed
against Li Yu’s lips even more viciously, easily stripping away all of Li Yu’s defenses.
Too used to the pleasure, Li Yu very quickly forgot to resist and yielded, melting into a puddle,
eyes watery, reduced to making tiny moaning sounds.

A thin layer of sweat covered the two people’s bodies. Jing-wang finally became more gentle.
When Li Yu regained a bit of energy, he fondly touched Jing-wang on the temple and said in a
hoarse voice: “Your highness, what… what’s the matter with you?”

To be honest, Jing-wang didn’t actually seem angry. It’s just he started kissing too viciously and
too forcefully, which startled the easily scared fish. Li Yu’s mouth was even swollen.

After Jing-wang vented, the ruthless aura around him dissipated. He softly kissed Li Yu’s cheek
and stuffed a sweaty piece of paper into Li Yu’s hand.

Li Yu opened it and read: “Not allowed to look at other men.”

Li Yu: “…….”

The fck. Where was this strange, yet sulky, overbearing CEO aura coming from!

Li Yu rubbed his forehead: “Your highness, are you misunderstanding something? I never
looked at any other men, I only–”

Li Yu’s heart skipped a beat. He only vaguely mentioned the 6th Prince. Maybe because he also
mentioned the 6th Prince a few times before, Jing-wang mistakened this as Li Yu having an
interest towards the 6th Prince!

The piece of paper looked like it had been prepared a while ago. How long has this big scoundrel
been drinking vinegar silently?

Li Yu smacked the bed in anger: “I want you to see him as a mortal enemy, not a love rival!”

Jing-wang: “…….”

“Ai, since I already blurted everything.” Making use of every second and inch, Li Yu said:
“Your highness, if the 6th Prince obtained the throne, it won’t be very good for you. Can you
stop him?”
Jing-wang: “…….”

Jing-wang slowly gave Li Yu a look, expression very odd, as if he didn’t really understand what
Li Yu meant, but it definitely wasn’t suspicion.

No worries. Li Yu basically didn’t count on being able to persuade Jing-wang with only a few
words. The misunderstanding just now emboldened him. Li Yu felt like other than reason and
logic, he could use another special skill– selling fish charms and tofu.

After Li Yu especially diligently and sincerely sold them several times repeatedly, and almost
fainted from exhaustion, Jing-wang finally smiled and ‘reluctantly’ promised he wouldn’t let the
6th Prince become the emperor.

The other mature Princes were already useless. After getting rid of the 6th Prince, only Jing-
wang would be left. This practically counted as agreeing to fight for the throne!

But this wasn’t considered stealing the throne, since his highness himself was the son of the first
wife!

Fish, who sacrificed greatly for this: QQQ making the tyrant do what he should be doing is too
hard! Why did the protagonist aura have to press down on fish’s body!

But if fish didn’t step forward, who would think for the tyrant’s future?

Li Yu finally resolved a big issue that’s been occupying his thoughts. Along the way, he also
needed to resolve some small issues.

One of these things was because he and Jing-wang often played around too much. Li Yu’s
accurate ability to count time was no longer as accurate. Although the System gave a countdown
warning, it was too short, too hurried. Li Yu almost got exposed in front of Jing-wang several
times, literally needing to roll off the bed to escape. Jing-wang’s state wasn’t much better
because of this. Li Yu kind of wanted to have something like a watch so he can properly remind
himself of the time.

In this era, there were no clocks. Most of the time, they used sundials and clepsydra. Basically
not very accurate or convenient. Li Yu thought about an hourglass and specifically asked Wang
Xi. Wang Xi listened to Li Yu’s description of it for quite a while and finally realized: “Li-
gongzi, you want an hourglass? This old servant knows where to find one and can get it for you.”
…… so hourglasses did exist!

Li Yu thanked the heavens and stuffed Wang Xi a few boxes of peach blossom cookies. Turning
around, he started to think about his second issue.

Last time, Li Yu went and bought gifts for Ye QingHuan and the JinJue Princess’s wedding. The
gifts were all sent, but the memory of encountering counterfeits was still vividly on his mind.

Clearly his luck for face slapping the 6th Prince was explosive, yet in terms of buying stuff, he
kept on buying fakes. Poor eyesight or terrible luck. What exactly was the real reason here?

Not wanting to admit to either of these things, Li Yu asked Wang Xi in a roundabout matter:
“Wang-gonggong, I just want to know, are there a lot of stores selling fake antiques around the
Jing Estate?”

Was there a lot? If this were the case, then it’s pretty normal for him to encounter one or two.

Wang Xi also went that day. The shopkeepers who were selling counterfeits were also arrested
by him and the guards he brought. Thinking briefly, he understood Li Yu’s meaning and laughed
uproariously: “Not that many, but gongzi, your luck…… cough cough, is really too good. You
managed to bump into them all. The justice department couldn’t thank you enough.”

This was the truth. Li-gongzi shopping on the streets was much more effective than when the
justice department sent their people out investigating.

“Since there are swindlers, buying fakes accidentally should be pretty normal.” Expression
stiffening, Li Yu did his best to regain some sense of dignity: “From what I can see, those rocks
inside the fish tank seem pretty real too.”

With a “pfft,” Wang Xi laughed nonstop: “Gongzi, please don’t tease this old servant. Any one
of those ‘rocks’ inside his highness’s fishtank are all genuine goods, all picked out from the
storage room and polished.”

“What?” Li Yu jumped in shock: “Everything inside the fishtank is all real?”

The red and blue stones that he loved to throw around when he was bored, the purple rock that he
randomly flipped and knocked over… were all ? ? ?
“All real.” Wang Xi nodded cautiously: “And they are all high quality gemstones. To call them
invaluable and priceless is no exaggeration.”

Li Yu, who played with invaluable and priceless gemstones without even realizing: “……”

Li Yu originally thought that for Jing-wang to get fish a silver stone bed and gold silk grass
blanket, it was already extravagant enough. Who knew that he was swimming on a pile of real
gems everyday. Because these gemstones weren’t very shiny, fish didn’t notice at all and thought
they were some normal colored rocks.

Looks like buying fake goods had nothing to do with his luck. It’s his eyesight that was the real
problem.

Li Yu feebly leaned against the wall: “Wang-gonggong, I want some quiet.”

According to Jing-wang’s orders, Wang-gonggong was supposed to give Li-gongzi whatever he
wanted. However, if Li-gongzi mentioned other people……

Before, for a while, Li-gongzi always talked about a little fatty. Jing-wang wanted Wang Xi to
investigate. Wang Xi just thought it sounded familiar. So far, he still didn’t find out who that
fatty was, but now, there was also a…… Jing Jing?

An alarm bell started ringing loudly in Wang Xi’s heart. He hastily asked for his master, Jing-
wang: “Gongzi, you have to speak more clearly. Who is Jing Jing? Why do you want him?”

Li Yu: “……”

It’s so hard to communicate with ancient people.

After letting Li Yu wait for two days, Wang Xi got Li Yu a silver hourglass.

Li Yu specifically tested the hourglass to his transformation time limit. After the sand ran out
inside the hourglass, it was basically two hours, just perfect for use. From then on, Li Yu placed
the hourglass into his interdimensional space. As soon as he changed into a human, he’d take it
out. That way, he didn’t have to be jumpy and on the edge all the time.
What he didn’t know was that after he went to get some quiet time, Wang Xi told Jing-wang
about Li Yu’s request for the hourglass verbatim. How could Jing-wang act perfunctory in
obtaining something Xiao Yu wanted? Although hourglasses weren’t particularly expensive, in
this dynasty, they were mostly for decorations and weren’t very accurate. The one that Li Yu
received wasn’t the same. Jing-wang had specifically asked the craftsmen from the imperial
palace to make it. The time was also specifically calibrated so it was much more accurate than
normal hourglasses. At the bottom of the hourglass in an inconspicuous place, there was even a
fish faintly carved there.

Jing-wang was used to scheming for Xiao Yu. Seeing the human shape Xiao Yu carrying the
hourglass everywhere he went, Jing-wang was in a great mood.

He just liked to leave his mark thoroughly, inside and out, on everything that Xiao Yu ate and
used.
