With the tipsy feeling of inebriation, Li Yu requested it once in a completely inconceivable position. Because the system still didn’t give any notification, the impatient fish, who was desperate for a daughter, held onto Jing-wang and refused to let go, demanding for another round. Still without any notifications at all, Li Yu became infuriated and vowed to make it appear no matter what.
Perhaps this bath was not fated for a daughter, then he might as well change locations, and change back to human form to continue. He just really wanted a daughter that belonged to the two of them.
Like this, Li Yu forgot exactly how many times they’ve done it. In the end, Jing-wang looked apologetically at him. Li Yu shakily extended one finger. Sighed lightly, Jing-wang wrapped his hand around Li Yu’s finger, then put it into the blanket.
Li Yu: “……”
Jing-wang threw on clothes and got out of bed. Li Yu discovered that while the hubby’s back was still straight and upright, his footsteps staggered a little.
Li Yu wanted to laugh, but at the same time, felt a bit guilty.
It was he, who was too over the top just now. Pregnancy or whatever, how can this be achieved in such a short period of time. He couldn’t take advantage of the fact that he was a system fish to demand without limits. Although he really did want a daughter, he can’t completely ignore his hubby’s health.
Li Yu opened his mouth, wanting to call and stop the hubby. However, his voice was hoarse beyond use, unable to make any sound. He wanted to turn around and get up. Only now did he discover that while Jing-wang’s footsteps were only slightly weakened, he himself already didn’t have any feelings below his waist.
Looks like in this battle, he killed 800 enemy troops but lost 1000 of his own.
Struggling briefly where he laid, Li Yu quickly fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Waking up in the middle of the night, he discovered that had already changed back into a fish. Covered by the water grass blanket, he was laying inside the crystal fish tank on the silver stone bed. It must have passed the time limit, so Jing-wang settled him here.
The fish form can help relieve exhaustion. Who knows how long he had laid here, at least he returned to consciousness.
Li Yu reluctantly wiggled the water grass blanket off and swam to the wall of the crystal tank to look at the hubby. He was already a lot better now. How was the hubby?
The bright moonlight poured in from the windows. The room was quiet and tranquil. However, the bed was completely empty, without the person that Li Yu wanted to see.
Li Yu: ?
Did Jing-wang temporarily head out?
Li Yu waited for a while. Not seeing Jing-wang return, Li Yu couldn’t wait anymore and changed back into human to find him.
Yesterday night, they really did it a lot. Li Yu placed his two legs on the ground, feeling flabby and weak. Walking felt just like floating. If he was not careful, he could easily fall over.
Li Yu supported himself by holding onto the furniture nearby and scooted to the door. He was just about to push the door open when he suddenly heard someone say quietly outside: “Your highness, taking too much medication can be harmful. Please think about this carefully……”
“Yes, this subordinate understands. I won’t say anymore and I also won’t let wangfei know of this.”
Li Yu: ?
Li Yu already recognized that it was Jing-wang and a subordinate outside, discussing something. Normally, when he came across things he shouldn’t hear, he’d move away voluntarily. However, this sudden “won’t let wangfei know,” made him feel briefly awkward.
Not listening voluntarily and not letting him know were completely two different things. Plus, Jing-wang seemed to have been taking medication while concealing some knowledge from him, and this doesn’t seem like the first time?
This made him somewhat vigilant.
Li Yu silently opened the door minutely and immediately saw a shocking scene. Jing-wang was accepting a bowl from a black clad guard. Without even looking, he downed the bowl of pitch black liquid.
After drinking, Jing-wang coughed lightly a bit, wiped his lips, and waved his hand to order the guard to withdraw.
Li Yu gathered from the guard’s words and understood that Jing-wang was drinking medicine right now; however, what kind of medicine is it? And it’s the kind that would harm the body if he drank too much……
After just experiencing a huge battle, the fish, who had his head filled with trash, inevitably recalled some drugs used for sexual stimulation. Don’t tell him that he almost drained the hubby dry, and now the hubby needed to rely on drugs to maintain his vitality and vigor?
He and Jing-wang had a very good relationship, the husband-husband life was also very harmonious. Every time, they did it naturally without planning. Li Yu didn’t realize at all, could it be possible that Jing-wang normally had difficulties and needed to rely on drugs to endure?
Recalling Jing-wang’s staggering footsteps just now, Li Yu felt like this was really rather suspicious.

If this were true, no wonder Jing-wang would hide it from him. After all, a man can be incapable in front of anyone else, but he can’t be incapable in front of his wife; and it’s being incapable in that kind of manner.
Li Yu can no longer keep thinking down this train of thought. Jing-wang looked like he was just about to enter the room. Li Yu could lay back into bed immediately and pretend he didn’t know anything. However, this kind of thing can be hidden for a moment, but not hidden for a lifetime. He was more worried about the long term effects causing harm to Jing-wang’s body. If Jing-wang used the drug more and more in the future, would he become reliant and get more and more impotent?
Not allowed!
Although the husband-husband life and personal pride were important, the hubby’s body was also very important. Impotence was a type of illness. All illnesses have a cure. Dragging on and delaying healing would only make the illness more serious.
He definitely couldn’t keep ignoring this. He needed to persuade Jing-wang to receive medical treatment promptly.
Li Yu stood at the doorway, unmoving. Pushing open the door and entering, Jing-wang immediately saw him and froze.
From the location of where Li Yu was standing and his unusually serious expression, Jing-wang immediately connected the dots and realized something. His face color instantly turned unsightly.
“TianChi, I…… I saw everything. Don’t try to hide it from me.” Li Yu said nervously.
He needed to figure out the most tactful words to convince Jing-wang to accept treatment.
“This can be a very hard topic to discuss, but I’m even more worried about your body. You–”
Jing-wang: “……”
Jing-wang had a weary expression. Perhaps already prepared for the possibility of being discovered by Xiao Yu beforehand, Jing-wang hesitated a moment and then pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve to hand over to Li Yu.
Li Yu knew this was Jing-wang’s explanation and swiftly opened it to read it.
He felt like he understood Jing-wang’s temperament very well after being married for more than a year. The reason why Jing-wang would take medicine was most likely for his sake. Therefore, Li Yu definitely wouldn’t let Jing-wang feel like Li Yu felt any hints of disdain.
Actually, from the very beginning, he had already decided that the other was more important than anything else.
He should let Jing-wang understand that the correct path was to face this together.
Li Yu already had everything prepared internally. However, when his gaze touched the words on the piece of paper, he suddenly froze.
It was only a short sentence. He recognized every single word. However, connecting it all together, he didn’t really understand it.
“Because I was born mute.”
Li Yu: Huh??
What the heck was this? Jing-wang was mute; he already knew this. But what did this have to do with taking medicine?
Did being mute cause impotence? He’s never heard of that.
Li Yu looked back and forth between Jing-wang and the words on the paper and said in confusion: “What’s going on here?”
Jing-wang’s expression immediately changed from unsightly to flabbergasted.
The two people very quickly realized that something was not right here. In a small voice, Li Yu spoke aloud his suspicions towards Jing-wang’s impotence and even added some “this doesn’t really matter” for comfort.
Jing-wang: “…….”
Jing-wang rubbed the center of his brows. He thought Xiao Yu knew what’s going on, but actually, Xiao Yu misunderstood.
However, with the current situation, since Xiao Yu already discovered him taking medicine, he couldn’t keep concealing this.
Almost like he was afraid Li Yu would run away, Jing-wang held Li Yu’s hand tightly and led him to a table. He lifted the brush and wrote something.
This thing… was extremely different from Li Yu’s thoughts of ‘impotence.’
So the drug that Jing-wang took wasn’t used for sexual stimulation. Of course, it was also not for treating impotence. Instead, it was a contraception.
A contraception?
Li Yu abruptly realized this and, for once, he felt the indignance and fury of being deceived boiling in his chest. No wonder he hadn’t been able to get pregnant a second time despite all of his efforts. So all this time they were doing it, it was completely useless?
“Why? You know very well that I really want a daughter, yet you……”
Jing-wang held onto his hands firmly and glanced at the piece of paper with his gaze.
“Just because of this?” In a fit of anger, Li Yu resentfully picked up the piece of paper and read it outloud in front of Jing-wang’s face.
Jing-wang’s body shook heavily. When Li Yu recited those words, he closed his eyes almost in anguish.
Li Yu felt like he was struck in the chest viciously by a huge stick. Coming to his senses, he finally realized what he had read.
Because I was born mute.
Born mute……
Born…… mute……
Delayed understanding appeared at this moment. In this second, Li Yu finally understood.
“So… so you’re afraid……”
Trembling, Li Yu let go of the paper slip and fell back into the chair.
Jing-wang was born mute. Born, which meant that he was extremely likely to pass it onto his offspring. It was because of this that he intentionally chose to use contraceptives.
“But Bao#1 and the others are all fine. You didn’t……”
Saying this, Li Yu immediately realized that they weren’t the same. When he had become pregnant with the Baos, even he didn’t know; Jing-wang was even more in the dark. Furthermore, at that time, who could have predicted that a man could become pregnant?
At first, there was no need to use contraceptives. Therefore, he became pregnant. And not only did he become pregnant, he gave birth.
Actually at that time, there was also a risk; he just never even thought about it– if one of the Baos had inherited Jing-wang’s disability, then what?
This wasn’t something easily thought about.
Luckily, their current four kids were fine. But what about the future ones?
Because of this, Jing-wang took protective measures. That’s why Li Yu couldn’t receive a system notification no matter what. He wanted a daughter, but in reality, it was impossible for him to become pregnant again.
I’m sorry. Jing-wang wrote. I specifically asked the Imperial Physicians and also asked Liao Kong.
When he asked the imperial physicians, the physicians said that these four were healthy, but that didn’t mean his other children would also be healthy.
When he asked Liao Kong, Liao Kong said that even though the other was a carp demon, the kids were also Jing-wang’s kids.
There were ones that looked just like him, then naturally, there could be ones who would be mute just like him.
Jing-wang couldn’t make certain that his future child wouldn’t mute. He could only make certain that he won’t have any more kids.
He wrote silently: Not being able to speak is very painful.
Rather than having children inherit this kind of suffering at birth, why give them such a painful life in the first place?
Stunned, Li Yu was speechless. It was only a few sentences with tranquil wording, yet they exposed the wound hidden deep in Jing-wang’s heart, a pain that he had never spoken about.
Jing-wan, he…… just couldn’t speak. This kind of unique anguish, who else can understand better than him?
It was because he understood clearly that he was unwilling to allow his offspring to inherit it.
Even if there’s only a tiny bit of possibility, he was unwilling to take the risk. Because once Li Yu became pregnant, neither of them would willingly abandon this child.
Then the only possibility was to not have one and completely cut off all possibilities.
Seeing Li Yu without any response, Jing-wang’s inner chaos and worry practically became uncontrollable. In one breath, he wrote down even more “sorry”s. Li Yu looked at the increasing number of “sorry”s, vision gradually blurring.
Unable to have a cute daughter or more children in the future… was really a very despairing thing. However, Jing-wang’s apprehension wasn’t without reason. He was also thinking for the child’s sake.
Not to mention, Jing-wang himself was a victim, and extremely innocent in all this. How can he place all of these “sorry”s on himself?
Li Yu blocked his hand, not letting him write anymore. He said tearfully: “This is not your fault. Don’t think like this……”
“Tianchi, we have four kids. It’s already more than enough.” Li Yu said, choking with emotion: “It’s my bad, I didn’t know, all this time, that you’re actually in pain……”
Because Jing-wang never displayed any emotions relating to his disability, Li Yu automatically assumed that because Jing-wang had the protagonist aura, and also had a tyrant character setting, at most his personality was cold and solitary, that he wouldn’t be too distraught over his own disability. Li Yu interacted with him day in and day out, already accustomed so much that he unconsciously even forgot that Jing-wang was mute.
But this was merely the character setting of a novel. Because feeling pain itself was a kind of weakness, the main protagonist gong wouldn’t have this undesirable trait.
However, why wouldn’t the real Jing-wang feel pain?
He was also a real, live person.
Li Yu felt extreme heartache for Jing-wang. He pushed aside the page full of ‘sorry’ on the table and jumped into Jing-wang’s arms, bawling his eyes out.
“I’m sorry. I’m terrible. I should have noticed before……”
Jing-wang hastily hugged him in a flurry of arms and wrote words inside his palm with reddened eyes. You’re wonderful. With you here, I’m not in pain.
Li Yu cried so hard, he hiccupped several times. Legs still somewhat aching, he sat his butt completely on Jing-wang’s knees and glared at him with the ferocity of a rabbit.
This look– had no intimidation value at all.
“You’re not allowed to secretly drink drugs anymore.” Li Yu started to admonish the hubby relentlessly: “Is this the kind of drug to be taken casually? What if you become impotent, then what?”
Jing-wang: “…….”
Actually, Jing-wang ordered a subordinate, who knew medicine, to check the formula of the drug. It should be fine. However, Jing-wang listened to Xiao Yu’s words. Impotence was definitely not allowed. Jing-wang didn’t want to be impotent; therefore, he obediently nodded his head.
Xiao Yu already knew everything now anyways. In the future, they can also use other methods of birth control. As long as Xiao Yu was willing.
Eyes spinning in thought, unsurprisingly, Li Yu came up with one immediately. Burning hot lips pressed over and brushed against Jing-wang’s ear: “Tianchi, I have an idea……”
Enjoying the feeling, Jing-wang listened expectantly.
Li Yu said with a light chuckle: “Why don’t you just not enter in the future.”
Jing-wang: “…………………………..”
Not being able to enter… This definitely was no good!
Awww 🥺🥺
