Chapter 47
King Jing discovered that the carp spirit was especially enthusiastic towards him after he finished his “meditation”.
Earlier, when he saw him wake up, he immediately abandoned him and went into “meditation”.
King Jing had recently read some books on cultivation and knew that he would gain some enlightenment during meditation.
So this carp spirit must have gained some enlightenment?
In reality, Li Yu was very pleased with himself: You found out that King Jing used to be a little fatty.
Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Hehehe!
Li Yu knew that what happened in the dreamland wasn’t real, but the “little fatty” joke could be used for a long time.
The little carp wrapped himself in the golden silk seaweed quilt and laughed until he was twitching.
The tyrant’s master was baffled.
Because King Jing was still injured, the emperor felt guilty and wanted to let King Jing recuperate before leaving the palace. However, King Jing only agreed to stay for three days before leaving.
The emperor thought about how every time King Jing entered the palace, he would encounter a troublesome situation. After a moment of silence, he agreed. After experiencing this unforeseen event, the emperor was more or less uneasy. It wasn’t that he still suspected King Jing, but he was worried about King Jing’s fish. Was there something wrong with it that even the Imperial Astronomer couldn’t see?
The emperor meditated in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for two hours. In the end, he ordered the chamberlain, Luo Ruisheng, to invite Monk Liao Kong from the Huguo Temple.
The reason why he invited Liao Kong was because this great master was different from ordinary monks. When he was young, he had wandered the world. He had broad horizons and extraordinary conversational skills. Now, he was the abbot of the Huguo Temple. If the emperor trusted Manager Sun of the Imperial Astronomer very much, then Liao Kong was equivalent to three Manager Suns. However, Liao Kong had been in power for three dynasties. He was old and didn’t care about worldly affairs. Other than the emperor, he wouldn’t give face to anyone else.
Speaking of which, if the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince could win over this Liao Kong, they wouldn’t have created a fake monk. The situation wouldn’t be like it was today.
Steward Luo rushed to Huguo Temple with the imperial edict. King Jing soon found out. During these few days in the palace, King Jing still moved back to Jingtai Hall. When Wang Xi handed over the secret report, King Jing glanced at the fish that had been following him and had also moved into the blue and white porcelain fish tank. He nodded calmly.
Li Yu was a fish, so it didn’t matter where he lived. However, there was a large pond built for him by the King Jing in the Prince’s Mansion, so he had more freedom. He liked the Prince’s Mansion more, but it didn’t matter if he stayed in the Jingtai Hall for a few days.
When Wang Xi placed him into the blue and white porcelain fish tank, Li Yu looked around in surprise. He had originally thought that the fish tank in Jing Tai Hall was a bit too small for the current him, but he had not expected that King Jing had also adjusted the fish tank that he had almost no use for. He swam around in it comfortably.
Li Yu thought flatteringly that if one were to talk about the most considerate person who raised fish, it would be none other than the tyrant master.
On the first day that they stayed in Jing Tai Hall, the birth mothers of the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince sent people to visit them.
Because the two princes had offended King Jing and were punished, the Third Prince’s birth mother, Consort Qian, and the Sixth Prince’s birth mother, Consort Zhang, wanted to plead with King Jing. They had already pleaded with the Emperor, but Consort Qian was only a little proud because of the Third Prince. Consort Zhang, like the Sixth Prince, had always been transparent.
Their words had no weight in front of the Emperor. The Emperor did not agree, so they were even more afraid that if they pleaded too much, it would make the Emperor even angrier and harm the two princes. Consort Qian thought it over and over again and decided to pull Consort Zhang along to plead with King Jing. Consort Zhang didn’t have much of an opinion. Her son being beaten had already made her cry, so she would do whatever Consort Qian said.
However, since the two of them were imperial concubines, it wasn’t appropriate for them to meet the princes in private. Consort Qian originally had the idea of letting the Emperor know, so with great fanfare, she sent many palace servants and eunuchs to visit King Jing first with gifts.
Who knew that after these people waited outside Jing Tai Hall for several hours, King Jing still had no intention of receiving them. When the news reached the Emperor’s ears, he was very dissatisfied that Consort Qian and Consort Zhang still dared to disturb King Jing’s recuperation at this time, so he simply had the two concubines join in the ranks of confinement. At the same time, he punished the chicken to warn the monkey and intimidated the harem. As a result, everyone in the harem began to walk around Jing Tai Hall, and the surroundings of Jing Tai Hall became much quieter.
The imperial physicians would come to Jing Tai Hall in the morning and evening to change the medicine on King Jing and take his pulse. King Jing had a fever that night. At that time, there was no one else in the room. When Li Yu woke up, he habitually wanted to take a look at King Jing.
Because the fish had returned to the blue and white porcelain fish tank, it wasn’t convenient to look at people, so Li Yu swam to the edge of the fish tank and carefully placed his fins on it, causing the entire fish to tilt up.
He discovered that King Jing was lying down and didn’t seem to have moved all night. Li Yu felt that it was strange. He then glanced at King Jing’s face and saw that his breathing was also very short. Li Yu now knew that this was a symptom of a fever, so he quickly transformed into a human and ran over to check King Jing’s forehead. He felt that the fever wasn’t low.
When the imperial physicians diagnosed King Jing, they also mentioned that it was very likely that he would have a fever. Cold water and a handkerchief were all prepared in the room. Li Yu quickly dipped the handkerchief in some water and applied a cold compress on King Jing. Then, he hurriedly went to find Wang Xi. Wang Xi had been waiting outside the room all this time. When Li Yu called for him, he immediately came over. When he saw the situation, he decided to immediately call for the imperial physicians and ask Li Yu to take care of King Jing.
Li Yu, “…”
The transformation could only last for two hours. Eunuch Wang should be able to rush back in time!
In any case, he would just take care of King Jing for now.
Li Yu sat down beside King Jing. As soon as the handkerchief became warm, he immediately changed it. King Jing was still burning. This couldn’t go on. Li Yu recalled that he had heard of physical cooling methods in his previous world, so he decided to give it a try. He untied King Jing’s inner garment and used warm water to continuously wipe a few of his joints. This method was quite effective. King Jing’s fever soon subsided.
However, Li Yu himself was unbearably tired. He was doing the koi mission. What happened in the illusory realm wasn’t real, but the great effort he put in to save little fatty King Jing wasn’t for nothing. After completing the mission and leaving the illusory realm, he still had to take care of King Jing, who had a fever and was sick in the middle of the night…
Li Yu didn’t want to complain. Deep in his heart, he always felt guilty for not being able to help little fatty who had a fever. Now, he could finally make up for it.
Before the imperial physician arrived, King Jing’s fever had already subsided thanks to Li Yu’s method. Li Yu covered him with the brocade quilt again. He was afraid that King Jing would have a fever again, so he still put a wet handkerchief on his forehead.
The fish was too tired. He wanted to stay awake until he turned back into a fish and jumped back into the fish tank to sleep. However, the remaining time was too unbearable. Li Yu’s upper and lower eyelids were fighting. Before he could finish his transformation, his body slowly fell to the ground.
King Jing was in a deep sleep. When he woke up, he felt weak all over and his chest was stuffy.
The human-shaped fish was lying on his chest, snoring loudly.
King Jing was speechless.
King Jing thought that he was dreaming. He was both happy and confused. He couldn’t help but touch Xiaoyu’s face gently.
… It was real.
Although King Jing didn’t know what had happened, he subconsciously held the fish tightly when it was caught off guard.
King Jing moved his injured hand. The wound on his palm was throbbing with pain. The wound might have relapsed.
King Jing raised his eyebrows nonchalantly and used his other hand to press the sleeping carp into his arms.
Li Yu, who thought that he was still a fish, squirmed and mumbled in his sleep, ‘Little fatty, you’re so heavy.”
King Jing was speechless.
King Jing was a little angry. He had been keeping the fish right under his nose all day long. Where did this fatty come from? How dare he try to steal his fish!
King Jing wanted to wake Xiaoyu up and ask him about it. However, just as he got up, a handkerchief rolled down from his forehead. As the handkerchief had been warmed by him, he didn’t notice it at first.
King Jing held the wet handkerchief in his hand. Xiaoyu was sleeping soundly in his arms. Coupled with the fact that he was feeling unwell when he woke up, it didn’t take much to figure it out.
He was probably running a fever. Xiaoyu was so tired that he fell asleep while taking care of him.
When King Jing realized this, he was a little angry. However, he couldn’t bear to wake the fish up.
He didn’t care if he was a fatty or not. As long as he didn’t let go, no one could take Xiaoyu away from him.
King Jing was worried that the carp spirit would catch a cold. He carried the sleeping Xiaoyu back to the quilt and lay down.
Xiaoyu leaned over and rubbed his shoulder in a daze. King Jing was speechless when he suddenly realized what he had done.
He was sharing a bed with the carp spirit.
King Jing held his breath. Was he trying to suck money?
As the snake spirits and fox spirits in the novels were all started by them, King Jing could only wait.
However, this fish was an anomaly. No matter how long he waited, he still slept like a log.
King Jing had mixed feelings. He covered the carp spirit’s mouth and nose evilly as if he was taking revenge.
Li Yu whimpered and flopped around unhappily.
King Jing let him go. When Li Yu could breathe again and became quiet again, King Jing suddenly leaned forward and kissed Xiaoyu’s slightly opened lips.
Wang Xi led the imperial physician back to Jing Tai Palace. Eunuch Wang wiped off the sweat on his forehead and asked the imperial physician to wait for a while. According to the rules, he had to check the situation in the room first.
Wang Xi pushed open the half-closed door. Wang Xi was a little surprised when he didn’t see Young Master Li. He looked at the bed and froze.
The two figures under the quilt … Wang Xi recognized them. They were King Jing and Young Master Li.
Wang Xi was extremely conflicted at this moment.
His Highness had always been pure and simple. He should be happy for his master that he suddenly encountered such a situation. However, didn’t His Highness have a fever? Why, why would he suddenly …..
The imperial physician was already here. Should he inform his master or not? It wasn’t easy for his master to enjoy himself. If he delayed his master, he would be in big trouble. However, if he didn’t inform his master, his master was still sick and his body might not be able to take it.
Wang Xi closed his eyes. Even if his master blamed him in the future, he had to take the blame!
Wang Xi knelt down and said with a trembling voice, “Your Highness, the imperial physician is already outside.”
As Wang Xi spoke, King Jing suddenly kissed empty air on the lips that he had kissed several times.
King Jing lowered his head. The little fish in his arms had changed back to its original form.
King Jing didn’t plan to do anything else because he knew that the fish wouldn’t change for long.
However, when a black and golden fish was lying on his chest, King Jing was stunned for a moment and felt that this situation was familiar.
However, he didn’t have time to think about it. He had to settle the fish down first.
King Jing took out a jade bell from under his pillow and rang it. Wang Xi heaved a sigh of relief. His Highness was willing to see the imperial physician and asked him to wait outside.
After all, Young Master Li was still here. He had to tidy up first. He couldn’t just let the imperial physician in like this.
Wang Xi respectfully retreated and closed the door for King Jing.
After Wang Xi left, King Jing immediately got up with the fish. He had similar experience before. He placed the sleeping fish safely into the fish tank and wrapped it with a gold-threaded seaweed quilt. He even smiled and gently touched the fish’s head.
The carefree sleeping fish spat out a bubble.
After doing all this, King Jing laid back down on the bed and rang the jade bell to let Wang Xi and the imperial physician in.
After Wang Xi entered, he looked around. He was very confused. Why was His Highness still here, but Young Master Li had disappeared?
At this moment, he was still waiting outside. Where could Young Master Li have gone?
King Jing glanced at Wang Xi and he immediately stopped his wild thoughts.
When Li Yu woke up again, he was already sleeping in the blue and white porcelain fish tank.
Li Yu recalled that he was too tired to take care of the patient and fell asleep. “…”
He was too careless. What if King Jing and Eunuch Wang found out?
Fortunately, King Jing was sleeping with a fever and couldn’t see him. He woke up in the fish tank because he turned back into a fish beside King Jing’s bed. When Eunuch Wang came back and saw the fish, he put him back into the fish tank.
After the imperial physician left, Li Yu heard Wang Xi whispering to the other servants that King Jing’s wound showed signs of cracking. Fortunately, it was treated in time and he was carefully taken care of. It shouldn’t be a big problem.
That’s good, Li Yu’s worries lessened a lot.
