The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 90
Chap 90
Li Yu couldn’t believe it. When Jing-wang mentioned that he needed Li Yu’s collaboration
before, it was for him to pretend to be pregnant.
“This…… Isn’t this not very appropriate?” Li Yu felt a bit distressed. Wasn’t this lying to the
Emperor?
Not at all.
Jing-wang found him a pile of pillows of various sizes and then handed him a piece of paper.
Did you not give birth to Bao#1, Bao#2, Bao#3, and Bao#4?
We’re only making everyone believe that you gave birth to them in human form, what’s so
inappropriate about it?
Li Yu felt like he was shot in the knee. Jing-wang’s thought process… seemed correct.
More or less, he was the one who gave birth to the kids. He also wished that the babies can
properly and legitimately call him daddy in the future.
Ao! Wasn’t this just… pretending for a bit?
He just agreed; a slightly flat, little pillow was immediately stuffed into his clothes. There was a
cloth bandage around the pillow which was wrapped around him and tied behind his back.
Jing-wang specifically tested how tight it was, looking towards Li Yu continuously, as if asking:
is it heavy?
Li Yu: “…….”
Alright. He was probably the most pampered, fake pregnant person ever.
Li Yu happily shook his ‘stomach’ and said softly: “No, it feels fine.”
Although he said this, Jing-wang was still somewhat worried because he knew this batch had
four babies. In the later part of the pregnancy, the stomach must be very big, which was a type of
burden.
Originally, Jing-wang wanted to hide Xiao Yu away, only allowing himself to look at him.
Currently, he was even more resolute in this notion. If not necessary, it’s better to not allow Xiao
Yu to appear in front of others casually……
As before, Jing-wang sent a report to the Emperor. Wangxi was Jing-wang’s personal servant
and head manager; naturally they couldn’t hide this from him.
After being told that Li-gongzi was pregnant, Wang-gonggong dazed off for quite a while.
Li Yu was terrified that Wang Xi might discover the strangeness. Unexpectedly, after Wang Xi
blanked for a while, he actually started crying right on the spot.
“His highness is going to have a child. This old servant is so incredibly happy.” Wang Xi rubbed
his eyes and said in a trembling voice: “This old servant was thinking that if I were able to see
his highness’s child with my own eyes, I would have lived a life without regrets.”
Although Wang Xi doubted at first about the truthfulness of this situation– a man becoming
pregnant was something never heard of; however, his highness was personally holding and
supporting Li-gongzi. Li-gongzi’s stomach was faintly bulging, looking very much like he was
pregnant. How can this be fake?
So what if a man got pregnant? It was still his highness’s bloodline!
After Wang Xi was done crying, he wanted to tilt his head back and laugh heartily. He just knew
that Li-gongzi was very lucky. Master Xiao Yu having fish babies was an extremely auspicious
sign. Just look now, his highness was about to have a kid as well!
Wang Xi was really too emotional. Jing-wang had no choice but to touch Wang Xi’s shoulder, as
if in comfort. Li Yu thought to himself, Wang-gonggong was already this happy because of one
child; if he learned later on that there were actually four children in this batch, wouldn’t he faint
with joy?
Jing-wang waited until Wang Xi calmed down a bit, then informed Wang Xi that he had high
hopes for Li-gongzi’s pregnancy and everything related to this will be done by himself
personally. Wang Xi nodded, expressing his understanding. His highness had already treated Li-
gongzi with extreme importance. Now that Li-gongzi was pregnant, it’s understandable that his
highness wanted to do everything himself.
Since the pregnancy was all left for his highness to deal with, then what can he do?
Wang Xi smacked himself on the head. How could he have forgotten. His highness wanted him
to get the wedding ready. He needed to be even more meticulous and careful now to ensure that
his highness and Li-gongzi will be satisfied.
After informing Wang Xi, Jing-wang also summoned the physicians that came with him on the
journey to the West Frontier to assess Li Yu’s pulse. However, now that Li-gongzi has clearly
become a member of Jing-wang’s household, and will definitely have a title in the future, the
physicians naturally couldn’t directly see Li Yu. Instead, the physicians were separated by
several layers of curtains with “Li-gongzi” sitting behind them. All of the physicians diagnosed
that Li-gongzi was already two month pregnant. After a moment of surprised astonishment, they
congratulated Jing-wang.
Meanwhile, Jing-wang faintly nodded. All of this was proceeding as planned. He was only using
the physicians’ assessments to let the distant Imperial City know this. The imperial physician
that the Emperor trusted won’t be able to arrive in the West Frontier for quite a while. Therefore,
the Emperor would definitely first ask these physicians that came with Jing-wang. At that time,
the physicians’ medical record would come in handy.
Before checking pulse through the curtains, Jing-wang had first secretly found a woman who had
been pregnant for two months to sit behind the curtain for Li Yu. The physicians originally
didn’t really even know how the pulse of a pregnant man should feel like. To be able to make a
pregnancy diagnosis was already impressive enough.
All of the assessments that followed were done just like this. As for the time of labor, Jing-wang
was well aware of the situation and had gotten prepared ahead of time.
The news traveled back to the Imperial City. The Emperor didn’t expect that his response to
make Li Yu the side wife would cause Jing-wang to say “Li Yu is pregnant. Requesting sincerely
for him to receive the main wife position.” The Emperor was so shocked his jaw dropped; he
repeatedly read Jing-wang’s letter again and again.
The imperial guards that the Emperor had sent to the West Frontier also sent back a report,
telling the Emperor the same thing. They also attached the result of the physicians’ diagnosis.
The Emperor looked at the medical record repeatedly again, almost afraid to have missed
something.
Can men really become pregnant?
If it were before, the Emperor would definitely have thought, how could this be? But now that he
saw the medical record, the Emperor himself was not very certain either.
After all, “special body constitution” was the justification.
Overnight, the Emperor summoned all of the Imperial Physicians and ordered them to analyze
the medical record. The physicians discussed for an entire night without results. None of them
knew Li Yu’s real circumstances so naturally, no one could pat themselves on the chest and
guarantee that men absolutely couldn’t become pregnant.
The Emperor sent a specialist in childbirth to the West Frontier to assess Li Yu. Thinking for a
moment, he also picked up his brush and wrote a letter to Liao Kong.
Liao Kong was full of experience and knowledge about the world and should give him an
accurate answer.
For Li Yu to be pregnant, there were only two possibilities. It’s either real or Jing-wang was
pretending.
Although Jing-wang was continuously paving the way for Li Yu, the Emperor still didn’t believe
that Jing-wang would do such a stupid thing. Feigning royal blood was something that could be
very easily exposed.
But, what if it’s real?
Li Yu himself was of humble origins. He really wasn’t the optimal choice for wangfei. However,
at the same time, this person had repeatedly shown unique talents and had made Jing-wang fall
in love. The Emperor had already granted him the title of side wife, which meant that Jing-wang
was already somewhat successful in his endeavor. But for the sake of Jing-wang’s future
children, the Emperor didn’t actually agree completely.
If Li Yu really can become pregnant, then even the last excuse was no longer appropriate. How
could the Emperor be so stingy to withhold a mere wangfei position from him?
Looking at the pile of reports that Jing-wang sent, the Emperor suddenly realized. Jing-wang
waited until now to reveal this, was probably also because he already made the Emperor unable
to refuse using any other justifications.
The Emperor smiled in exasperation. Stinking brat. Such a completely impossible task, yet he
actually managed it……
Liao Kong’s reply very quickly arrived.
The high monk was, as expectedly, a high monk. He didn’t actually answer directly. Instead, he
only said: The world is grand. Nothing is too bizarre.
The Emperor understood. According to Liao Kong’s wisdom, he believed that it was possible
that men can become pregnant. This settled the Emperor’s heart.
Now, he only needed to wait for the physician’s diagnosis.
The Emperor first pacified Jing-wang, saying that if the physician was able to diagnose it, then
he will change Li Yu’s title into main wife.
Jing-wang saw the dawn of victory and occasionally helped Li Yu outside to walk around in
front of the people inside the Estate.
Right now, the entire West Frontier treated Jing-wang as their absolute leader. When they heard
that someone in Jing-wang’s household was pregnant, the civilians were all very happy.
For safety reasons, Jing-wang didn’t announce publicly that the person pregnant was a man. Also
despite all the discussion, the people who knew the situation weren’t actually many. The
peasants were just giving him blessings out of kindness.
At the same time, the bandits wanted to use this opportunity to get revenge, but they were
discovered by the patrolling guards.
Ever since discovering that the bandits were also human, and also very easy to fight against,
plenty of the young and strong youths of the West Frontier volunteered to join the guards. The
people under Jing-wang’s wing grew more and more. Thanks to the day in and day out practice
drills from the imperial guards, their fighting strength also grew stronger constantly. Meanwhile,
Jing-wang had also expected that the bandits would attempt a sneak attack and got prepared
ahead of time. In the end, the bandits came aggressively and was once again defeated utterly by
tunnels and traps.
Externally, Maple’s Landing was like an iron fortress that was guarded securely by Jing-wang.
Internally, taking care of the ‘pregnant’ Li Yu was Jing-wang’s top priority.
Jing-wang remained guarding by Li Yu’s side everyday without leaving a single step. Although
it was a fake pregnancy, he was always making Li Yu rest and often took over all the tasks
himself, which consisted of a lot of trifles that occurred during pregnancy. Jing-wang seemed
engrossed in this in an almost abnormal fashion, however, his mood was extremely well.
Li Yu felt like Jing-wang was using this opportunity to make up for all of the care that he wasn’t
able to give to Li Yu before. Meanwhile, for Li Yu, other than accepting the other’s care and
concern, what can he do?
In the end, Jing-wang was even too reluctant to let Li Yu hold the crystal bottle. The task of
taking care of the fish babies was completely handed over to Wang Xi.
Wang Xi looked at the lively and vigorous fish babies and couldn’t help but exclaim: “If Li-
gongzi can also give birth to four, how good would that be.”
Li Yu, who noticed that Wang-gonggong unintentionally hit the truth of the matter: “…….”
The fish babies also became aware of the two daddies’ changes.
The first to notice was Bao#1. Later on, even the mentally slower Bao#4 felt the difference.
Jing-wang daddy always supported fish dad while walking. They knew that fish dad can change
a person just like Jing-wang daddy. However, fish dad’s stomach… it was even rounder than
Bao#2!
From the daddies’ words, Bao#1 already guessed something and was waiting in expectation. The
innocent and cute Bao#2 and Bao#3: was daddy going to give birth to another younger brother?
The simple and stupid Bao#4: “QQ, daddy definitely ate lots and lots of peach blossom cookies.
He didn’t even give any to me. I want to eat also!
The physician that the Emperor sent was still rushing along on the road. The “grow big and
become human” task was getting closer and closer to the last of its days. This day, Li Yu just
took out the little pillows to secretly make time to feed the fish babies fish food. The usually
well-behaved Bao#1 suddenly froze blankly for the first time ever.
Li Yu didn’t really think too much about it. But as he turned around, he saw Bao#1 disappear in
thin air. Then, on the bed, there was the addition of a white and chubby little infant waving and
kicking.
Li Yu: “…….”
Li Yu realized that Bao#1 must have been the first to finish the system’s task. As expected of the
smartest Bao#1……
No wait no wait! Bao#1 must be very scared.
Li Yu hastily picked Bao#1 up and wiped the water off his body. Fortunately, the System didn’t
make Bao#1 change directly in the water, else that would have been tragic.
In the last few days, Jing-wang had already prepared little swaddling clothes ahead of time. Li
Yu randomly wrapped Bao#1 up and held him in his arms.
At first, Bao#1 was very brave and also very curious about the novelty of being human. With a
pair of large, grape-like eyes, he did his best to look all over the place.
Was this the feeling of growing big and becoming human?
Bao#1 reflexively moved his legs, wanting to swim around. However, his arms and legs didn’t
want to listen to him.
He wanted to call his fish dad, but when he opened his mouth, he actually started to wail.
The brave Bao#1 finally started getting a bit scared. After changing into a human, he couldn’t
speak or swim around. Bao#1 sobbed even louder.
Outside, Jing-wang heard the sound of crying and rushed in. What greeted him was the view of
Li Yu holding an infant in his arms while coaxing the child in a flustered manner.
Before, Jing-wang had often seen Li Yu and the fish babies biting onto each other’s tails and
forming a chain. Also he already recognized the fish babies as his children. But they were all still
in fish form after all. The impact wasn’t as forceful as seeing the current scene of Xiao Yu
coddling an infant with his own eyes.
Jing-wang’s vision gradually became somewhat blurry. He walked over extremely carefully,
terrified of disturbing Xiao Yu.
“Your highness, come take a look at Bao#1!” Li Yu handed over the child in his arms.
It was hard to tell the appearance in fish form, but now that Bao#1 changed into a human, it was
possible to see. He looked exactly the same as when Jing-wang was a kid, also another little
fatty.
Li Yu finally saw the little fatty that he hasn’t seen for a long time. With a smile, he felt his eyes
turning slightly red.
How strange. He seemed even more emotional now than when the fish babies hatched out of
their eggs.
Jing-wang accepted the child from his hands and looked at Bao#1 over and over, as if he
couldn’t get enough.
Don’t cry. He gently helped Li Yu wipe his eyes. His own eyes, however, were completely
drenched as well.
Currently, Bao#2, Bao#3, and Bao#4, who have discovered that Bao#1 suddenly changed into an
infant: “……”
The fish babies were so scared that they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. In unison, they all
sank to the bottom.
