Marked by a Tyrant After Transmigrating
Chapter 22
Ye Shu reached out and tugged at the golden chain around his ankle, making sure that the other end of the chain was completely locked shut.
"..."
Jin Wang's method of preventing him from running away... was really simple and crude.
The dog was still Jin Wang's dog.
This was the first time Ye Shu had encountered such a situation. For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he sat on the bed in a daze.
The golden chain was scattered between the plain white silk quilts. The end of the chain was clasped around Ye Shu's ankle, making it seem even fairer and more slender. For some reason, it gave off an indescribable feeling of ambiguity.
... This way, it seemed like it was especially easy for something bad to happen.
Thinking about what had happened before, Ye Shu shuddered.
Suddenly, a warm body covered him from behind. "You're awake?"
The voice was deep and hoarse, making one's ears tingle.
"Do you like the present I gave you?"
Jin Wang rested his head on Ye Shu's shoulder and tilted his head to look at him. There was a smile in his eyes. "I specially ordered it for you."
Ever since Ye Shu had escaped, he had begun to order this item. Seven days was neither too long nor too short, just enough time for the golden chain to be completed.
"..." Ye Shu laughed dryly. "Your Majesty, I won't run away again."
Jin Wang smiled. "I don't believe you."
Ye Shu said pitifully, "Your Majesty..."
Jin Wang was concerned. "Are you hungry? I'll have Gao Jin bring food."
"Jin Lingyuan!"
"I'm here."
Ye Shu sighed helplessly. "How long are you going to lock me up for?"
"Until you stop thinking about leaving."
Jin Wang held Ye Shu's hand as he stood up. His voice was extremely gentle. "This golden chain is long enough for you to move about in the bedchamber. Be careful not to trip when you walk."
Jin Wang helped Ye Shu put on his shoes and put on a coat. "Let's eat first."
Jin Wang went out and ordered the servants to bring food.
Ye Shu was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. He had no time to argue with Jin Wang and sat down to focus on filling his stomach.
Ye Shu ate happily. Jin Wang glanced at him from time to time. Finally, when Ye Shu finished six pieces of pastries, two bowls of soup, and three bowls of rice and was about to have another bowl, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Didn't Duan Chengzhi feed you these days?"
When Jin Wang asked this question, his tone was not very pleasant. He thought that as long as Ye Shu said yes, he would immediately make up for the 100 beatings.
Ye Shu ate until his cheeks were puffed up. He blinked innocently and shook his head.
Jin Wang frowned. "Did he really abuse you?"
"No, no …" Ye Shu quickly pulled her back and said, "He treats me quite well, really."
For the past few days, Ye Shu's consciousness had been hazy. He only ate when he was asleep.
However, that person did not treat Ye Shu unfairly. He always took good care of Ye Shu and even fattened him up a little.
But today, in order to enter the palace, Ye Shu did not have the opportunity to eat since the afternoon.
Jin Wang was skeptical. While he was thinking, Ye Shu quickly grabbed another piece of cake and finished it like a whirlwind.
… This was the seventh piece.
Jin Wang coughed softly and vaguely advised, "A Shu, it's not good to eat too much."
"…" Ye Shu looked at the bowl in front of him and then looked at Jin Wang. He was a little unhappy.
It was bad enough that he was locked up and not allowed to go out, but now he was not even allowed to eat?
Even Duan Chengzhi did not treat him like this.
The more Ye Shu thought about it, the angrier he got. He put down his chopsticks. "… Hmph."
Jin Wang: "…"
Jin Wang facepalmed. "You eat, you eat."
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Ye Shu lay down on the small couch and rubbed his stomach contentedly.
Jin Wang concentrated on reading the memorials under the lamp.
… How boring.
He wanted to do something.
Ye Shu said, "Jin Wang."
Jin Wang did not raise his head. "What's the matter?"
"I want to admire the moon."
Jin Wang got up and opened the window for Ye Shu. The cold moonlight shone in.
Ye Shu said, "Admiring the moon in the house is not good. I want to walk around the imperial garden."
"…" Jin Wang controlled his temper. "It's already nine o 'clock."
"So what?" Ye Shu sat up. "Admiring the moon is not at night. When else can it be?"
Jin Wang did not answer.
Ye Shu stood up and walked over to Jin Wang without putting on his shoes.
He was still not used to having a chain around his leg and almost tripped when he reached the table. Jin Wang hurriedly caught him.
"You — —" Jin Wang was still in shock and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you to be more careful? What if you fall?"
"Who told you to make me wear this? I'm not used to it."
Ye Shu paused and said unconcernedly, "Besides, if you fall, then so be it. The floor of Yangxin Palace Hall is covered with carpets. Even if you throw a porcelain doll on it, it won't break. How can I break it?"
"…"
Jin Wang was so angry that he wanted to hit him.
But he could not hit him.
This person could not be touched or knocked on, but he did not know that.
The effect of angering him was doubled.
Jin Wang took a deep breath and smiled. "But I'm worried that you'll fall.
In order to not make me worry, why don't you shorten the length of the chain and just stay in bed every day? What do you think? "
Ye Shu's expression froze and he shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, no …"
Jin Wang's tone was very considerate. "Didn't you say that you're not used to wearing it?"
"I'm used to it. I'll get used to it very quickly." Ye Shu said timidly. "There's no need to shorten it."
Jin Wang smiled with satisfaction and pulled Ye Shu into his arms. They sat down at the table. "If you're not tired, then accompany me to look at the memorials."
"No, I want to admire the moon."
"Then go to sleep."
"I'm not sleeping."
Ye Shu hooked his arm around Jin Wang's neck and said gently, "I just want to go out for a walk. Let me go, Gege Jin Wang."
Jin Wang's hand that was holding the memorial trembled.
Ye Shu noticed his reaction and secretly laughed. His voice became even sweeter. "Gege Jin Wang, is there really no way?"
Jin Wang's ears turned red and he said uneasily, "You … don't call me that."
"Then what should I call you?" Ye Shu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Whatever you want to hear, I'll satisfy you."
Jin Wang's ears turned even redder.
However, Ye Shu refused to let him go. He called him "Gege Jin Wang" again and again, each call softer than the last.
Jin Wang couldn't bear it any longer. He threw Ye Shu back onto the bed and kissed him fiercely.
After a while, Jin Wang let him go.
Ye Shu couldn't breathe properly and didn't dare to mess around anymore.
Jin Wang looked up at him with a hint of desire in his eyes. "A Shu, don't force me."
Ye Shu couldn't detect the fragrance of his incense, but Jin Wang could smell it.
The fragrance of the plum blossoms never completely dissipated. It was constantly teasing him, making it difficult for him to calm down.
If it weren't for the child in his stomach …
Jin Wang's eyes darkened and his chest felt stuffy. He straightened up and turned his head to avoid looking at Ye Shu. "It's too late today. You should rest first. I'll take you to admire the moon early tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he walked out. Ye Shu asked, "Where are you going?"
"To take a bath."
"… …"
.
The next day was a break. After the two ate lunch, Jin Wang summoned an imperial physician to examine Ye Shu.
Ye Shu sat on the small bed and let the imperial physician take his pulse.
After a while, Imperial Physician Feng said, "Young Master's pulse is stable. His body is … … cough, in short, his body is healthy and unharmed. Your Majesty can rest assured."
Ye Shu, "?"
That pause in the middle was too suspicious.
Imperial Physician Feng asked again, "Has Young Master's body been feeling unwell recently?"
Ye Shu thought for a while and said, "Yes."
He didn't know if it was because he had been eating too much recently, but Ye Shu's stomach often felt bloated, as if something was hanging from it.
Ye Shu reported this to the imperial physician. The physician replied, "This is a normal phenomenon. I'll prescribe some medicine for Young Master. After taking it, it should be alleviated."
Ye Shu asked, "Is it related to stomach problems?"
"… …" Imperial Physician Feng said, "Yes."
… … Why did he pause for so long?
Ye Shu looked at him suspiciously.
Imperial Physician Feng turned a blind eye to his gaze and said seriously, "Young Master should not sit or lie down for too long. Walk slowly for at least two hours every day and bathe in the sun more."
Jin Wang nodded, "Alright, I'll remember."
The more Ye Shu listened, the stranger he felt, "I just feel bloated. What does it have to do with bathing in the sun?"
Jin Wang interrupted him, "Listen to the imperial physician."
Ye Shu, "… … Hmph."
Imperial Physician Feng looked at the golden chain tied to Ye Shu's leg. He had an expression that said, "This old man doesn't understand the interests of you young people."
The golden chain extended from the head of the bed to the small couch outside. It couldn't be hidden, and Ye Shu had no intention of hiding it.
His leg that was tied to the golden chain dangled by the side of the couch, making the chain creak.
Jin Wang still cared about his face. He turned his head uncomfortably, "Does the imperial physician have anything else to say?"
"This … …"
The news of Ye Shu's escape had not spread, so Imperial Physician Feng naturally did not know. He only thought of it as the Emperor's special hobby.
But it was not appropriate to treat a pregnant husband like this.
Imperial Physician Feng deliberated over his words and tactfully said, "Young Master's body … … is not suitable for sexual intercourse. Could Your Majesty … … exercise some restraint?"
"… …" Jin Wang almost choked on his tea. He tried to explain, "This Prince actually … …"
Imperial Physician Feng looked into the hall with a strange gaze. The more he thought about it, the more he pitied Ye Shu. He said in a low voice, "This official is bold, but young master needs to maintain a peaceful and happy mood. I hope that Your Majesty can understand."
This time, even Jin Wang did not understand, "How can this Prince not understand?"
"… …" Imperial Physician Feng said, "This official heard that Your Majesty brought back the beauties that the Taichang Temple officials presented to you yesterday to Yangxin Palace Hall.
Your Majesty enjoys the blessings of having two wives. This official does not dare to dissuade you, but Your Majesty should understand young master's feelings. At the very least … … "
Imperial Physician Feng's face turned red. He said in a low voice, "At the very least, don't let two beauties serve you at the same time. This is … … not good."
"Cough, cough, cough … …"
Ye Shu was lying on the couch drinking water. When he heard this, he almost choked to death.
Two beauties serve him at the same time???
Last night's matter had already spread to this extent?
He looked at Jin Wang in shock. The latter's expression was also blank.
This could not be blamed on Imperial Physician Feng.
Yesterday, Jin Wang directly brought the beauties that were presented to him to Yangxin Palace Hall and did not send them out for an entire night. Anyone would have thought that the Emperor had already taken care of the beauties.
In addition, Jin Wang had previously lied that the Imperial Concubine was still living in Yangxin Palace Hall.
Combining these two together, wouldn't that mean that he had taken care of two beauties in one night?
After figuring out the ins and outs of this matter, Jin Wang was silent for a moment.
Enjoying the blessings of having two wives? He clearly did not meet any of them.
Jin Wang had no way of explaining. He could only kindly agree and let someone send Imperial Physician Feng away.
Ye Shu finally could not hold it in anymore. He rolled around on the couch, laughing, "Your Majesty is hugging two beauties in each hand. Enjoying the blessings of having two wives is really enviable. Hahaha … …"
"Ye Qianan." Jin Wang grabbed the golden chain on his leg and shook it threateningly.
Ye Shu quickly stopped laughing.
Jin Wang asked, "Do you want to go to the Imperial Garden?"
Ye Shu turned around and leaned on the other side of the couch. He turned his head and did not look at him, "No."
He did not allow him to go yesterday, so he really did not want to go today.
"… …" Jin Wang's expression froze for a moment. He bent over and untied the golden chain on his leg. He asked patiently, "Then where do you want to go? This Prince will accompany you."
Ye Shu's eyes lit up, but he still did not turn his head, "Anywhere is fine?"
"Yes, anywhere is fine."
Ye Shu said, "I want to leave the palace."
Jin Wang fell silent.
Ye Shu looked at him for a moment, then looked away dejectedly, "As expected, it won't work. Then forget it.
I'm not going anywhere. You can continue to chain me up. "
He curled up his legs and curled up into a ball on the couch. He looked very aggrieved.
However, Imperial Physician Feng had just said that he wanted to make him happy.
Jin Wang sighed and compromised, "Fine, this Prince will accompany you out of the palace."
Ye Shu's expression changed in a second.
He stood up from the couch and quickly walked into the inner room to change his clothes.
… … He did not even bother to continue acting.
Jin Wang felt very frustrated.
He originally wanted to lock this person up in Yangxin Palace Hall and not let him go anywhere. He wanted to teach him a lesson.
How could he be tricked by this person into wanting to take him out of the palace after just a few words?
Jin Wang looked into the inner room, speechless. He reflected on when he had spoiled this person to the point that he wanted a yard after giving him an inch.
This won't do. If this continues, he will ride on this Prince's head.
I shouldn't have agreed to let him out of the palace. This Prince is still angry.
As Jin Wang thought this, he stood up and walked towards the inner room.
He wanted to tell Ye Shu that they were not going out of the palace. No matter how much they cried and begged, it would be useless.
Before he could enter the inner room, he saw Ye Shu striding out. The two of them almost bumped into each other.
Jin Wang instinctively caught him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ye Shu broke free from his arms and raised his hands with a smile.
He held the human skin mask in his left hand and the white veil covering his face in his right hand. He looked up at Jin Wang and smiled, "Your Majesty is going out of the palace today. Do you want an imperial concubine to accompany you or a new beauty?"
Jin Wang was dazzled by his smile. He suddenly forgot what he wanted to say and said absentmindedly, "Both … … both are good."
