King Jing often silently called Li Yu in his heart, but this time he actually spoke. Obviously, he didn't quite believe it, and he stayed where he was for a while.
Li Yu rushed up and cried with joy: "Tianchi, you woke up! You... spoke, right!"
Even though he had guessed it from the silence of the system a few days ago, guesses were just guesses after all. King Jing would definitely recover. This thought always supported him. Even though King Jing never woke up after taking the medicine, he was full of hope in his heart.
And he should have really heard King Jing speak just now, because -
Li Yu pinched his thigh hard, because his thigh really hurt.
King Jing himself didn't know why. Although he couldn't wake up these days, he could clearly hear the noises from the outside world. Xiaoyu had been talking in his ear, and he heard it all.
Every time Xiaoyu talked to him, he would answer in his heart, but Xiaoyu had no way of knowing. In order not to let Xiaoyu worry, he tried his best to wake up. When he finally opened his eyes, he followed his heart and called Xiaoyu's name unconsciously.
The sudden strange sound, hoarse and broken, like the tip of a sword grinding on gravel, King Jing himself did not expect, this is... him?
Why can he suddenly make a sound?
His throat was itchy and painful. The days when he could not wake up were like burning fire.
King Jing himself did not believe it. He froze his body and tentatively said, "Xiao..."
He stopped talking suddenly. The sound was indeed coming from his chest.
This was him.
King Jing was stunned.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hugged him tightly, tears on his face and eyes, but he shouted happily: "Tianchi, Tianchi!"
King Jing hugged Li Yu back and wanted to say something, but he was powerless. He realized that he could speak, but it was not easy to express what he was thinking. Many words that he knew and heard countless times suddenly didn't know how to say.
He could only hug Xiaoyu, his chin resting on Xiaoyu's shoulder affectionately, and said "um" heavily.
King Jing could speak, Li Yu was overjoyed, and notified Wang Xi first. Wang Xi was even more exaggerated than Li Yu. He fell to his knees with a thud, crawled over, and looked up at King Jing.
"Your Highness?" Wang Xi said tremblingly.
King Jing closed his eyes: "Wang..."
Wang Xi. Of course he knew who it was, but he was not used to speaking. However, just this one word made Wang Xi burst into tears.
"Your Highness is a blessed person. This old slave has no regrets in this life!" Wang Xi cried and laughed.
The old doctor was hurriedly invited to the Jingwang Mansion. After hearing the Jingwang say a few words in person, the old doctor was also shocked. After examining the Jingwang, he said that this was an unexpected surprise.
"Your Highness's poison has been cured now, but I didn't expect that the muteness was..."
Because everyone said that Jingwang's muteness was congenital, the old doctor didn't think about it at all.
But the muteness disappeared with the detoxification, which means that Jingwang's muteness was actually caused by poisoning, not congenital.
This old doctor has been working in the Imperial Hospital for several decades. He knew that King Jing was unable to speak since birth. But if it was because of poisoning, King Jing was poisoned at least not long after he was born.
Only a few people can do it.
The old doctor only treated the disease. The poison was cured and the muteness was unexpectedly cured. He was too happy to think about the meaning.
"Doctor, my prince has been cured of the poison and can speak. Does that mean that no matter whether it is muteness or poison, it will not be passed on to his descendants in the future?" Li Yu remembered something and asked the doctor loudly, and gave the old doctor a look.
The old doctor didn't really understand what the princess meant, but she followed Li Yu's words and said, "Since the muteness is caused by poisoning, once the poison is cured, the offspring will not be infected. Please rest assured, princess and Your Highness."
Li Yu smiled particularly brightly, blinked and looked at King Jing. King Jing's heart trembled. He understood what Xiaoyu meant. The poison was cured, the muteness was cured, and there was no need for contraception in the future.
Okay, I promise you.
King Jing nodded silently.
In fact, he wanted a daughter just like Xiaoyu.
The king and the princess exchanged glances. The old doctor felt that the atmosphere around them was inexplicably warm. He coughed lightly and said, "Although your highness has been cured of the poison, he is still weak and needs to continue taking medicine for a while. The health-preserving prescription given by the princess is very good in my opinion. I will also add some throat-soothing medicine to your highness, hoping to help your highness recover as soon as possible..."
The old doctor was in high spirits and talked a lot. He also wanted to explain the medical principles to them in detail. Li Yu and King Jing looked at each other and held each other's hands. Their hearts were overwhelmed by great joy and they could hardly hear anything.
Wang Xi brought the old doctor to the palace to report the good news to the emperor. When the emperor got the news, he immediately went to King Jing's mansion in plain clothes. When King Jing knelt down with the help of Li Yu and tried to call him "father", the emperor felt extremely complicated.
There was both the joy and happiness of regaining what was lost, and the anger and regret of realizing that he had been deceived by a traitor.
The emperor did not say much, so he asked King Jing to stand up and patted King Jing on the shoulder. All his feelings turned into a long sigh: "Tianchi, get well soon, I still have a lot of things for you to do."
The emperor stared at King Jing for a long time, and there were tears in his eyes.
King Jing was able to speak, and now he could hardly speak except for a few words, and the emperor was very satisfied. However, King Jing's muteness had been cured, but it could not be spread out to let outsiders know, because even the "congenital muteness" was fake, so what else was true?
Pu Liu was found dead and there was no evidence, but there was the midwife who delivered King Jing for Empress Xiaohui and the imperial physician who diagnosed King Jing. The emperor did not hear King Jing cry when he was born, so there must be something else going on.
King Jing was not born dumb. This belated fact was like a sharp stone that shattered the false peace in the harem for more than ten years.
Luo Ruisheng and the former guards were following up and investigating the cause of Pu Liu's death. Before finding out the truth, the emperor still needed King Jing to pretend to be dumb and must not make any surprises.
King Jing and Li Yu could guess the emperor's plan and agreed.
The children went to school in the palace these days. The emperor learned that King Jing's poison had been cured. While visiting King Jing, he also brought the children back.
Li Yu had only told them that their father, Prince Jing, was unwell and could not meet them for the time being. The children did not quite understand the danger, but their father's refusal to see them had made them depressed for several days. The emperor ordered them to study in the study room, partly because the children were indeed very smart, and partly to help divert the children's attention.
Now that they heard that their father, Prince Jing, was getting better (already), the children were so excited that they rushed into the room and grabbed Prince Jing's trousers.
King Jing smiled and held them one by one. Li Yu was worried that King Jing's body couldn't take it, but King Jing shook his head at him.
During the days when he couldn't wake up, King Jing missed his children very much.
When he held them, the four treasures who hadn't been hugged for a long time had red eyes.
"Sibao misses daddy so much."
Sibao lay on his father's chest, and his soft voice expressed his longing for father King Jing.
King Jing touched his soft head. He couldn't pronounce Sibao's "Si", so he could only mumble: "...Bao, daddy, I miss you."
Father King Jing suddenly spoke!
Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao all raised their ears.
The fish cubs have gotten used to the fact that King Jing can't talk. Fish Daddy didn't teach them what disability is. Instead, when they were still little fish, he kindly told them that King Jing couldn't talk because he was sick.
Fish Daddy didn't want the children to classify King Jing as a disabled person. He has always been committed to making the children feel that King Jing is no different from him. Unexpectedly, his words came true. King Jing was "sick", and naturally he would get better!
"Daddy is getting better!" Dabao suddenly realized.
Before the babies jumped up, Li Yu hurriedly told them that King Jing had not fully recovered yet and couldn't tell everyone. This was a little secret between the fathers and the babies. Li Yu hooked his little fingers with them one by one and asked them to keep it secret. Dabao,
Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao all liked to keep the secret for Fish Daddy and rushed to hook their fingers with Fish Daddy.
Sibao even made a pinky promise with King Jing.
"Daddy, Sibao, same." Sibao had a new discovery, and smiled as he pointed at King Jing, and then at himself.
Sibao was the least able to speak among the children, and King Jing, who had just recovered, was also not very able to speak. In terms of the degree of inability to speak, the two were probably about the same.
Little Sibao was now a fish who had been to school, and knew about teachers, and hurriedly said, "Sibao will teach Daddy!"
King Jing smiled, and was about to respond, when Li Yu picked up Sibao.
"Well... let go of King Jing, Daddy, and let me do it!" Li Yu pouted at King Jing and smiled at Sibao.
Sibao was suddenly frightened by the twisted smile of Fish Daddy:!
Sibao was confused and couldn't understand why he was eliminated by Fish Daddy when he hadn't done anything yet.
Li Yu really taught, because he had taught the fish cubs to speak before, so teaching King Jing was very familiar with it.
Teacher Yu quickly prepared the lesson, holding a peach blossom cake with a smile on his face: "Tianchi, you can eat only if you say it right."
King Jing: "..."
King Jing smiled and nodded. Is Xiaoyu trying to enlighten him? It's not bad to have a reward.
Li Yu couldn't teach King Jing how to recognize his father. King Jing had been out of touch for too long. He actually recognized many characters, but he sprained them when he said them. This was because King Jing had no real reading experience. Li Yu planned to start teaching from pinyin. This was the case everywhere he went when he came here.
Teacher Yu quickly filled a piece of paper with words: "Tianchi, do you know the music of Bopomofodete?"
King Jing: "…………"
King Jing didn't know, and begged for mercy with a smile: "Little...fish."
His hoarse voice was still very unpleasant, and the old lady doctor would continue like this for a while, but every time she read Li Yu's name, it became particularly magical, stirring the heartstrings of the fish and making the fish's scalp numb.
Teacher Yu was almost distracted, and blushed and knocked on the blackboard: "Don't interrupt, read with me!"
The student King Jing was instilled with initials and finals by Teacher Yu.
As the first person in ancient times to learn pinyin, King Jing, who had no basic knowledge, did not find it difficult to accept it because he listened to Li Yu's words and had good comprehension. He soon found that what Xiaoyu taught was like a foundation. After he learned the initials and finals, Xiaoyu wrote the pinyin for commonly used characters and taught him how to "spell" them.
King Jing stumbled and learned to "spell", although he still made mistakes from time to time. Li Yu asked him to take it slowly, and King Jing really learned to say a word, a short sentence, and began to adapt to the names
of people. Maybe it was really fate. Among all the names, he knew how to call Xiaoyu at the beginning, and the one who never made mistakes was still Xiaoyu.
In order to make King Jing speak like an ordinary person faster, Li Yu also assigned him a task to read aloud.
The time for reading aloud is usually set in the morning. Li Yu said that people are most energetic and their learning state is most stable in the morning, so it is the best time for studying. He called it morning reading.
Morning reading should be carried out every day. Teacher Yu asked the student King Jing to start with the simplest "When a man is born, his nature is good", and then to various later stories. He often demonstrated in person and conducted surprise inspections.
"Tianchi, how do you read this?" Teacher Yu turned to a certain page of a certain story, pointed to a certain title, and pretended to casually inspect the results.
The student King Jing glanced at him and said with emotion: "Husband, sir."
Teacher Yu was stimulated by his cold face and the voice that touched her heart, and continued to point and point: "What about this one?"
King Jing: "Husband, sir."
Both husband and sir are so handsome, Teacher Yu was overjoyed, thinking that she was secretly taking advantage of the student without knowing it.
In fact, King Jing knew how many times he had read it, and he would ask Teacher Yu for it in the future.
The treatment of the student King Jing and the student Yuzi was still different. Teacher Yu was stricter with King Jing. Even if the Yuzi blew a bubble, they would have peach blossom cakes to eat. King Jing's mouth was dry after reading for a day, and Teacher Yu would only give him a peach blossom cake when she was in a good mood.
King Jing did not complain, and smiled and ate the peach blossom cake from Li Yu's hand. As he ate, he would always eat Teacher Yu's fingers.
Teacher Yu really couldn't stand it any longer.
