Chapter 79
Li Yu slept for a whole day. This was the most carefree sleep he had ever had since he had transmigrated. When he woke up, he thought he was in a dream.
Fortunately, the note and food that King Jing had placed beside the fish tank reminded him that King Jing had already known his identity and accepted him. King Jing had even prepared a lot of local snacks for him.
Li Yu happily transformed into his human form to eat. Once he had nothing on his mind, he ate a lot. King Jing was working in the office next door. When he heard the sound of the fish getting up, he smiled and asked Wang Xi to call for a doctor.
King Jing had brought a few good doctors with him. They had followed Li Yu all the way from the Imperial City to the Western Frontier. It was better to be safe than sorry. After Li Yu finished eating, he was asked to leave the room for a doctor to take his pulse.
Li Yu looked confused. He could eat and sleep well, so why did he need to see a doctor? However, when he saw that King Jing was also there, Li Yu felt more confident. He walked over obediently, sat down next to King Jing, and stretched out a hand to the doctor.
The doctors were secretly surprised. They were originally wondering what kind of background this Mr. Li had and were afraid that they would say something wrong and offend him. Looking at his posture, it was not wrong to think that he was King Jing’s family member.
After the doctor’s diagnosis, they all said that Mr. Li was fine. King Jing even specially asked Wang Xi to ask if he was frightened. Li Yu was scared at first, but now the thing that worried him the most had been resolved. Li Yu didn’t even have a nightmare. However, his boyfriend was so worried about him that Li Yu grinned happily. Just as he was about to tell King Jing not to worry, King Jing touched his hand under his sleeve and gently squeezed it.
Li Yu: “…..”
Li Yu recognized this as a hint. Mr. Li, who had slept and drunk enough, paused and said against his will, “I can’t sleep well, and I can’t eat.”
The doctors gathered together and discussed. They felt that Young Master Li might have really been frightened. After all, it was hard to tell if he was frightened. King Jing cast a leisurely glance at Wang Xi. Wang Xi understood. Since he was in shock, he mentioned it to the Imperial Bodyguards in passing in the memorial he sent back to the Imperial Palace. There was no need to mention Young Master Li’s name. His Highness doted on Young Master Li like he was his favorite.
If Young Master Li was frightened, wouldn’t it be the same as His Highness being frightened?
Wang Xi hinted several times, and the news that was sent to the Imperial City finally became true.
King Jing encountered a large number of killers when he first arrived in Maple Town. He was frightened and bedridden.
When the Emperor received the news, he was very anxious and sent more people to the western border. He also ordered the Imperial Bodyguards in the western border to investigate the origin of the killers. He only wanted to test King Jing, not take King Jing’s life. King Jing was his only legitimate son, and he was assassinated the night he arrived at the western border. The Emperor couldn’t help but think that there was a conspiracy. He also ordered the Imperial Bodyguards to investigate the recent correspondence between the Imperial City and the western border. The Emperor suspected that all these disputes might be related to the fight for the throne.
The Palace of Heavenly Purity was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The Emperor’s gaze drifted to the list of princes in his hand.
The Second Prince was already unconscious. Who could have done this to King Jing?
“Your Highness, you must be careful of the Sixth Prince.”
Li Yu took advantage of the Carp Spirit’s influence and once again knocked on the small blackboard for King Jing.
He had no choice but to knock on the blackboard. Since King Jing had never been to the western border in the novel, Li Yu couldn’t determine who sent the killers. However, the Sixth Prince was the most suspicious because he was the boss. Li Yu was afraid that King Jing would underestimate this person.
King Jing could finally ask, “Why?”
Although they were all princes, Xiao Yu basically didn’t mention the Second Prince and the Third Prince. The reason that the Sixth Prince was obstructing them was too far-fetched.
Li Yu had already thought of an excuse. The identity of the Carp Spirit was indeed useful. He cleverly linked the book’s golden finger and the cultivation’s ability to foresee the future. He said, “I know a little bit of foresight magic. I know that the Sixth Prince will be Your Highness’ greatest enemy in the future. Your Highness has suffered losses several times.”
King Jing, “…”
King Jing silently said to himself, I’m afraid that in the future, the Sixth Prince will have to be removed.” He knew that the Sixth Prince was ambitious enough to make a move on his birthday gift.
Now that he had left the Imperial City, on the surface, the Sixth Prince would enter the Emperor’s sight. He would be valued by the Emperor and have a promising future. However, as long as there was a slight movement in the western border, the Emperor would keep an eye on the Sixth Prince.
Moreover, King Jing wouldn’t let the Sixth Prince be too complacent. Just based on the fact that the Sixth Prince had repeatedly tried to make a move on Xiao Yu, King Jing wouldn’t let him go.
The debt of the birthday gift hadn’t been settled yet.
Li Yu saw that King Jing had indeed become serious. He smiled and said, “But Your Highness, don’t worry. He definitely won’t be able to win against you. The reason why I reminded you is that I don’t want you to take the wrong path.”
King Jing nodded. So the Sixth Prince was just a paper tiger.
King Jing asked again, “What kind of foresight magic do you have? Did Ye Qinghuan use the same magic last time?
Li Yu said, “Naturally, Crown Prince Ye also has foresight magic. This magic … uh, it’s called a golden finger.”
King Jing pondered for a moment. “Can your golden finger predict the future between you and me?”
Li Yu hurriedly shook his head. “No, it can’t. A golden finger might not be accurate. It’s just a possibility. “
Because the plot had already been messed up.
Li Yu beat around the bush and told King Jing about the Sixth Prince’s actions in the book.
However, he didn’t mention that King Jing would definitely ascend the throne. This was because it might affect King Jing’s judgment of the situation. Although the outcome wouldn’t change, it would be bad if the process was too tragic. Right now, it was best to be cautious.
King Jing asked again, “Can I learn this magic?”
Li Yu: “…”
Li Yu felt helpless. Why didn’t King Jing care more about the Sixth Prince? Why did he only ask about cultivation? Wake up, you’re the male lead of a palace novel!
Why couldn’t King Jing change his interest in cultivation?
Li Yu suppressed his urge to roar and tried his best to persuade him. “Your Highness is a noble. Cultivation isn’t suitable for Your Highness. Your Highness, please reconsider. Don’t waste too much time on it.”
King Jing lowered his eyes and his expression became gloomy. He asked again, “After the tribulation, how long will you stay?”
Li Yu made a sound. Then he remembered that the tribulation was the reason he made up to appear beside King Jing. King Jing’s meaning was equivalent to asking how long Li Yu would stay in the ancient world.
The system didn’t mention this question, and Li Yu didn’t think much about it. At first, he couldn’t wait to transmigrate back, but now that he had a tie in this era, Li Yu thought that if he could choose, he would stay with King Jing for a long time. In the book, King Jing was in his forties and was still in good health. There were still many years before the present. Li Yu was only 18 years old, but he already felt that it was a lifetime.
However, he had no choice when transmigrating. Would he also have no choice when it came to how long he would stay?
Li Yu thought seriously for a while and said honestly, “I’m not sure.”
Unexpectedly, he didn’t want to lie to King Jing about this.
After hearing his words, King Jing’s face suddenly turned ashen. He gripped Li Yu’s hand so tightly that it hurt a little.
“Your Highness, what’s wrong?” Li Yu asked in surprise. He didn’t know why King Jing was in such a bad mood.
King Jing squeezed him into his arms and said silently over and over again, “Don’t leave me.”
“Your Highness?”
Li Yu didn’t understand. He tried to hold King Jing’s shoulder to calm him down.
The two of them hugged each other and fell into silence.
After a long time, Wang Xi came to invite King Jing. He said that the assassin had confessed and needed King Jing to deal with it. This was something that couldn’t be avoided. King Jing let go of Li Yu and his face softened.
‘Take good care of him.” King Jing glanced at Wang Xi.
Wang Xi nodded vigorously. At least there was one good thing about being an assassin. Mr. Li and His Highness were visibly closer!
Li Yu coaxed Wang Xi out in a flash and turned to break into the spiritual space.
He remembered that when the assassin came, the prompt of “Sharing Joys and Sorrows” had been completed. He hadn’t been able to check it because he had dropped his horse. Could he directly receive the reward now?
Li Yu entered the system and immediately checked the main quest. Sure enough, “Sharing Joys and Sorrows” had ended. The reward was still one of King Jing’s secrets.
Li Yu looked at the four options for a while and suddenly asked, “System, can I go back and look at the secrets I chose?”
With the cloth tiger, the secret related to Changchun Palace always popped up from time to time.
Because he still couldn’t figure it out, his subconscious couldn’t let it go.
The system was silent for a while, as if it was considering. Li Yu thought that it was hopeless.
Among the four secret options for him to choose, one of them refreshed to a dark palace.
… It was Changchun Palace! Okay!
The system said, ‘The host is allowed to change the reward. Please make your choice. “
Li Yu understood. The system meant that he could choose the other three secrets that he didn’t know about or choose Changchun Palace.
Anyway, he could still receive the other secrets of King Jing if he completed the mission in the future. He wasn’t in a hurry. He should solve this one first.
Li Yu chose Changchun Palace and immediately arrived at the place where the secret happened. It was a palace room in Changchun Palace.
This time, he was mentally prepared and looked carefully. He memorized the woman’s specific appearance, including the very short melody that she hummed softly while waiting for the servants. He also noticed that there was a bundle of cloth on the bed behind the woman. Li Yu didn’t pay much attention to it last time, but this time he took a closer look. The bundle of cloth looked a little like a swaddling cloth. When the woman and the servants were arguing, he noticed that the swaddling cloth moved a little and a pair of black grape-like eyes appeared, curiously looking at everything.
It turned out that there was a baby in the room. At first, the baby was covered by the woman’s body. Later, when the woman and the servants were arguing, Li Yu’s attention was focused on the two people arguing and didn’t notice the baby on the bed. In fact, the baby had been there all along …
Wait, this baby made Li Yu suddenly think of something!
This was King Jing’s secret. Why did King Jing have no impression of it when he went to test King Jing? And since it was King Jing’s secret, why didn’t King Jing show up?
In fact, King Jing was there. It was just that he didn’t realize it before.
Because King Jing was this baby.
This was probably the scene that King Jing saw when he was a baby. No wonder King Jing didn’t have any impression of it when he grew up. However, this memory existed objectively!
Li Yu had seen the little fatty before, so he quickly recognized the baby version of the little fatty.
Besides confirming his guess, there were more and more mysteries.
Since King Jing was a baby, Li Yu didn’t notice the mourning cloth hanging everywhere in Changchun Palace. This meant that Empress Xiaohui in this memory wasn’t dead yet. Then why would Empress Xiaohui allow a woman to be alone with the little prince? According to the woman’s age, she didn’t look like an ordinary palace maid …
Li Yu caught a glimpse of the woman’s figure, which was fuller than that of ordinary women. He was suddenly startled. Could she be King Jing’s wet nurse?
Her age, figure, and the fact that she could be alone with the little prince. It all matched.
So this secret meant that when King Jing was a baby, he accidentally saw his wet nurse being killed by the servants?
But there were many people who were executed by King Jing. How could this be called a secret?
Just after a small breakthrough, he immediately fell into another bottleneck.
Li Yu left the memory illusion. The System promptly reminded him, “Host, the ‘revitalization’ storyline has been updated. Before the next step, please confirm the information.”
Li Yu responded with a hum. His thoughts were blocked again. He’d better continue with the
The System immediately popped up a notification box.
“Host, please confirm your relationship with the tyrant.”
Li Yu:???
The System said to confirm the relationship, but in fact, it was another choice. He had to choose between the fish pet and the lover.
Now that the fish pet had been upgraded, Li Yu couldn’t help but choose the lover.
The System said, “Host, please complete the next mission as the lover you just chose.”
The System synchronously refreshed the next step of the revitalization family with the tyrant.
Li Yu:”…”
System, come out. I promise I’ll beat you to death!
“Share joys and sorrows” can only be completed by sacrificing one’s life for the other. What about “love”?
It would be troublesome if the feelings were too deep in the early stages.
Li Yu smiled wretchedly. Didn’t this mean that even the System wanted him to do DOl?
