When he heard Jin Wang's words, Ye Shu was the first to remember where he came from.

If he had a secret that no one else knew about, it would be that he was a book transmigrator.

But he didn't dare to say it.

Not to mention that Jin Wang wouldn't believe him, but more importantly...

Jin Wang treated him like this because of his old relationship with the original owner. If he knew that he was an imposter, would he still be able to live?

But other than that, what else could he say?

Jin Wang saw his hesitation and asked, "Do you not want to tell me?"

He wasn't asking if he wanted to or not, but if he wanted to or not.

Jin Wang had a keen eye for people. Lying in front of him was definitely not a wise thing to do.

The carriage slowly swayed as it moved forward. It was silent inside for a long time.

Ye Shu asked in a low voice, "... Can this official not tell you right now?"

Jin Wang raised his eyebrows, "Right now?"

"Yes... I'll owe you for now." Ye Shu pursed his lips and promised, "One day in the future, I will definitely tell Your Majesty."

Jin Wang stared at Ye Shu. The youth's eyes were clean and sincere, without any impurities.

A soft part of Jin Wang's heart moved slightly.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ye Shu moved to Jin Wang's side and lowered his head. His head went under Jin Wang's arm that was holding the tea, "Your Majesty, I don't want to tell you right now. Just let me owe you for a few days."

His position made the distance between the two very close. Jin Wang's expression changed, "Get out!"

Ye Shu didn't move.

After spending half a month together, he had already seen through Jin Wang's attitude towards him.

This person had a hard mouth but a soft heart. On the surface, he looked unapproachable, but in reality, he liked Ye Shu very much. He couldn't stand it when Ye Shu acted coquettishly towards him.

If this kind of person was in the real ancient times, he would probably be an incapable ruler who brought disaster to the country.

Fortunately, Ye Shu didn't want to bring disaster to the country. He just wanted to live well.

Ye Shu wrapped his arms around Jin Wang's neck and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, just promise me."

How could Jin Wang not see through her thoughts? He chuckled, put down the teacup, and pulled her into his arms. "My beloved official, it's not impossible for you to owe me, but if you let me pay you a visit in the carriage, I'll agree."

Ye Shu froze.

Naturally, no one dared to board His Majesty's carriage. However, this carriage was not soundproof at all, and the curtains on both sides of the carriage could not be closed. As the carriage moved forward, gaps would appear from time to time.

With so many experts outside, it was almost impossible not to be noticed.

Why did this dog Emperor have such a bad taste?

Ye Shu silently tried to move away, but Jin Wang held him even tighter, "What's wrong? You don't want to?"

"I … I haven't been feeling well these past few days …"

Jin Wang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Where do you feel unwell? Let me examine you."

"…"

Ye Shu and Jin Wang looked at each other for a moment. Then, he suddenly pushed Jin Wang away and lifted the curtains, "Retch —"

Jin Wang, "…"

Ye Shu vomited until he was dizzy, but he did not forget to turn around and explain, "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to vomit —"

Jin Wang, "…"

This nauseating feeling came without warning. Ye Shu only felt his stomach churn and vomit.

When he woke up this morning, he did not have much of an appetite. He was only half-forced to eat a few mouthfuls of porridge by Jin Wang, and now he vomited it all out.

After a short while, a pair of hands reached over and held Ye Shu's shoulders.

A cup of tea was placed in front of his mouth.

"Drink some water."

Jin Wang gently stroked Ye Shu's back and fed him some water. Then, he took out a brocade handkerchief and helped him wipe his face. He said with disdain, "You're dizzy from blood and motion sickness. Your body is so useless …"

Although he said this, he still pulled Ye Shu into his arms.

Ye Shu lay weakly in Jin Wang's arms. He did not have the energy to bicker with others. He only raised his red eyes and looked innocently at Jin Wang.

Was he willing to do this???

Moreover, he did not get motion sickness before!

… No matter how he thought about it, it was the original owner's fault.

.

When the carriage entered the Imperial City, it was almost sunset.

The Emperor's imperial carriage had already been prepared. The eunuchs on both sides of the road bowed and kowtowed.

The carriage stopped by the roadside, but no one came out.

A palace maid in the crowd dared to raise her head.

At this moment, the curtains of the carriage were pulled open. The Emperor walked out with a young man in his arms.

The young man in His Majesty's arms looked thin and weak. His appearance could not be seen clearly. From the palace maid's angle, she could only see half of his handsome and fair face.

He lay quietly in His Majesty's arms, as if … he had fallen asleep?

Jin Wang did not look sideways. He carried the young man out of the carriage and into the Emperor's imperial carriage.

The muslin curtains outside the imperial carriage fell down, completely covering the two figures.

The imperial carriage slowly left. Only then did the eunuchs begin to whisper.

"Is that the Emperor's imperial concubine that will be included in the imperial harem?"

"His Majesty actually personally carried her into the imperial carriage. I have never seen His Majesty dote on anyone like this before."

"I just don't know how long this favor will last. His Majesty used to treat Ye Xiang very well, but in the end, didn't he …"

Before they could finish speaking, the eunuchs looked at each other in dismay and did not dare to continue.

Ever since Left Prime Minister Ye Shu was publicly executed, this name had become a taboo.

Inside and outside the Imperial City, everyone who had discussed this matter had either quietly disappeared or suffered an unexpected calamity.

There was a rumor in the palace that Ye Xiang had died with grievances and had turned into a vengeful spirit to take revenge.

The eunuchs did not dare to continue their discussion and quickly dispersed.

Behind the crowd, only the palace maid who had raised her head earlier was still looking in the direction of the imperial carriage, deep in thought.

.

Inside the Emperor's imperial carriage, Jin Wang looked down at the pale face of the person in his arms and wrapped him in a blanket.

Ye Shu was suffering from severe motion sickness today. She vomited every hour. Even tea and plum juice were not enough to help her.

The short four-hour journey from the temporary imperial residence to the capital had taken them twice as long.

The Emperor's imperial carriage had always only been used by the monarch. It was not as spacious as a carriage, so it was naturally not comfortable to hold.

Ye Shu's brows furrowed tightly. He groaned and woke up.

Jin Wang comforted him in a low voice, "We're almost at the sleeping quarters. Bear with it a little longer."

"Oh …" Ye Shu raised his hand and pressed the space between his eyebrows. He said weakly, "I will never sit in a carriage again."

Jin Wang disdainfully said, "Isn't it because your body is weak? Why don't you take a look at who is like you?"

Ye Shu was silent for a moment, then explained, "… Your Majesty, motion sickness and blood sickness are innate. It has nothing to do with the strength of the body …"

Jin Wang raised his eyebrows.

Ye Shu immediately changed his words, "… Yes, you're right."

The imperial carriage quickly arrived at the sleeping quarters. Jin Wang did not let Ye Shu get out of the bed and directly carried him into the sleeping quarters.

Ye Shu had been tortured by the carriage for an entire day. As soon as he touched the bed, he immediately took off his shoes, socks, and outer robe. He rolled into the bed and pulled the blanket over himself.

Jin Wang took off his outer robe and turned his head to see that the young man had already arranged everything for him. He shook his head and smiled, "I will go to the imperial study to summon a few officials to discuss some matters. You can sleep for a while. If you're hungry, ask them to prepare food. There's no need to wait for me."

Ye Shu was covered from head to toe. His exposed head nodded, "Yes, yes."

Jin Wang changed into a black and gold dragon robe with the help of a servant. He walked to the bedside and removed the jade hairpin from Ye Shu's head, "You've been vomiting a lot these past few days. I'm afraid it has something to do with your stomach. Remember to ask Imperial Physician Feng to take a look at you next time."

Ye Shu was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes. He mumbled, "I know."

Jin Wang laughed and placed the jade hairpin at the head of the bed.

He ordered the windows to be closed and the lights to be extinguished. Only then did he leave the sleeping quarters with his men.

When Ye Shu woke up again, the sky was completely dark. The sleeping quarters were silent. Only the moonlight shone through the window and cast a cold shadow over the hall.

He raised his head and stared at the muslin canopy above his head. It took him a while to realize where he was.

After a while, Ye Shu sat up and called out in a low voice, "Chang Yuan?"

The unlatched window opened and a figure knelt in front of him, "Young master."

Ye Shu glanced outside the window. Chang Yuan understood, "Young master, don't worry. His Majesty was worried that you would be disturbed. He has already sent the palace servants far away and won't be able to hear us."

"Good." Ye Shu nodded and said, "I called you here to ask, what did Jin Wang say to you?"

Chang Yuan was the original owner's trusted aide and was absolutely loyal to him.

The original owner's conspiracy to rebel had never been hidden from him.

Chang Yuan immediately recounted the conversation he had with Jin Wang in the palace.

The more Ye Shu listened, the more shocked he became. When Chang Yuan finished, Ye Shu slowly said, "He … … still suspects me."

Chang Yuan lowered his eyes and did not reply.

Ye Shu asked again, "What about you? Do you suspect me?"

"This subordinate has never doubted you."

Chang Yuan said, "This subordinate has always been by young master's side. No matter what young master does or what decision you make, this subordinate will always obey.

The reason why I said those things to His Majesty before was to find out what His Majesty thinks of young master. "

Ye Shu nodded, "You've done well."

Chang Yuan asked, "What does young master plan to do next?"

Ye Shu was slightly taken aback.

These days, he had been staying by Jin Wang's side. Every day, he had been thinking about how to curry favor with that tyrant and how to survive in his hands.

But he had almost forgotten that he had originally wanted to escape.

"I … …" Ye Shu's voice was inexplicably dry, "Of course I want to leave this place as soon as possible."

Chang Yuan said, "This subordinate understands."

Ye Shu said, "But this matter is not urgent. His Majesty is keeping a close eye on me right now. We still need to plan for the long term."

"Yes."

The dark hall fell silent once more. Ye Shu's heart began to feel irritable for no reason.

He fell back onto the bed and raised his hand, only to touch the jade hairpin next to his pillow.

Ye Shu had just transmigrated to this world and did not know how to tie up his hair, nor did he remember how to remove hair accessories.

A few days before he arrived in this world, he had even been hit by hair accessories in his sleep several times.

Jin Wang was afraid that he would be hurt by the hair accessories, so every day before he went to bed, he would personally remove the hairpin for him. After a few times, it had already become a habit.

The hairpin was made of jade and felt cool to the touch. Ye Shu's mood gradually calmed down.

Forget it, the most important thing right now was to coax that dog of an emperor!

Ye Shu sat up and asked, "Where is His Majesty right now?"

"Perhaps in the imperial study."

"Have someone prepare a meal. I want to see him."

After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, Ye Shu carried the food box to the imperial study.

The imperial study was brightly lit. The head of internal servants, Gao Jin, was standing guard outside the door. When he saw Ye Shu arrive, he was about to announce his arrival, but Ye Shu indicated that there was no need.

Gao Jin understood and stepped aside to let him in.

Ye Shu pushed open the door and entered.

Inside the imperial study, Jin Wang did not even raise his head, "Didn't I say not to disturb me if there was nothing important?"

The person who came in did not say anything.

Jin Wang looked up and was startled.

A youth wearing plain clothes stepped into the hall under the moonlight. His long hair was untied and scattered behind him, reflecting a faint luster under the moonlight.

The door closed behind him. Ye Shu smiled and looked into Jin Wang's eyes, "It's boring to eat by yourself, so this official came to have a meal with His Majesty."
