Marked by a Tyrant After Transmigrating
Chapter 24
The two quickly brought the youth out of Spring River Pavilion. Ye Shu wanted to give him some money so he could leave freely.
"How can I do that?" The youth refused to accept it. "Benefactor saved me, so I can't accept any more money from him."
Ye Shu asked, "Do you want to go home?"
"I... I don't want to go home."
The youth shook his head. "I've lived with my father since I was young, but my father gambled heavily and sold me to a brothel. I won't go back.
I want to find a place to stay in the capital and find a way to make a living. "
The youth's eyes were clear and bright. "Benefactor, can you tell me your name? When I earn enough money in the future, I will definitely repay you."
Whether it was Ye Shu or Jin Wang, it was not convenient for them to reveal their names.
Ye Shu said, "We also live in the capital. If you continue to live here, we will have a chance to meet again."
Ye Shu insisted on not telling him his name, so the youth did not ask any more questions. He could only nod. "I look forward to our meeting again. I hope that by that time, I will have enough money to repay you."
Ye Shu smiled and nodded.
The youth looked at Jin Wang, who was standing not too far away.
The latter was dressed in black and stood under a tree. His figure was tall and slender, and his aura was extraordinary.
The youth asked in a low voice, "Is that... your husband?
He's really good-looking. "
Ye Shu instinctively wanted to deny it, but the youth hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else.
I just... I just envy you. He must be very good to you. "
"He..." Ye Shu paused, then said softly, "he is indeed very good to me."
To be honest, Jin Wang was indeed very, very good to him.
The ruler seemed to be naturally sensitive and suspicious, not to mention that Jin Wang had experienced all that when he was young.
It was already not easy for him to treat him like this under all these circumstances.
If that dog of an emperor stopped causing trouble, he would treat him better when he returned.
The youth smiled. "I wish you and your husband happiness forever."
The two parted ways in front of Spring River Pavilion.
Ye Shu returned to Jin Wang's side.
"What took you so long? What did you say?" Jin Wang asked.
"I'm talking about you."
Ye Shu raised his head and smiled gently at him. "You said that he was so handsome, and Your Majesty had spent a lot of money to buy him back. You really don't want to add him to your harem, so you let him go just like that?"
Jin Wang reached out and pulled her into his arms. "I already have two beauties in my harem, why would I need more?"
"Furthermore..." Jin Wang lowered his head and stared into his eyes. He said in a low voice, "He's far inferior to you. I don't like him."
"I only have eyes for you."
Ye Shu's heart trembled slightly.
Jin Wang rarely said such things to him. Or perhaps in the past, he had said it with a teasing tone, but Ye Shu did not take it to heart.
But it was different this time.
His eyes were sincere and passionate. He wasn't trying to coax him, nor was he trying to tease him.
Ye Shu suppressed the unfamiliar throbbing in his heart. He tilted his head and smiled. "Your Majesty's sweet talk is truly becoming more and more powerful."
Jin Wang's eyes were smiling. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ye Shu say faintly, "It's just that the Imperial Concubine is pitiful. Not only can she not come out to play with Your Majesty, she can't even hear your sweet talk.
Your Majesty only has eyes for me, so where does Your Majesty place the Imperial Concubine? "
"... It's true that when you see the new person smile, how can you hear the old person cry?"
Jin Wang's expression froze on his face.
Was this person addicted to playing harem fights with himself?
"Of course I also have eyes for the Imperial Concubine. Don't — —" Jin Wang instinctively tried to explain himself, but when he saw Ye Shu's shoulders shaking from trying to hold back his laughter, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Jin Wang gritted his teeth. "Ye!
Qi!
An! "
"Hahaha, I was wrong, I was wrong. Your Majesty, please spare me — —!"
.
The sky gradually darkened. Ye Shu and Jin Wang returned in a carriage.
Ye Shu remembered the question he had at Spring River Pavilion.
"Kun Jun?" Jin Wang's eyes narrowed slightly as he frowned. "You don't know what Kun Jun means?"
Ye Shu said uncertainly, "I... should I know?"
"..."
Ye Shu clearly remembered that there was no such setting in the book.
Moreover, from the original owner's remaining memories, there was no mention of this word.
However, the plot of this world was already very different from the book. If there was any new setting, Ye Shu wouldn't find it strange.
Jin Wang remained silent.
He originally thought that Ye Shu hadn't noticed his own differentiation because he was muddle-headed and slow.
But now, it seemed that he didn't know the difference between heaven and earth.
The difference between heaven and earth was like the difference between men and women. Was there anyone in this world who didn't know this?
Jin Wang's intuition told him that there was something strange about this, but he couldn't come to a conclusion.
He was silent for a moment, then replied, "Kun Jun is just a title that the brothel gave to the youth."
"The brothel has always had a distinction between heaven and earth. Heaven Jun is good at his skills and sells his skills but not his body. Kun Jun is beautiful and uses his looks to serve others." Jin Wang began to speak nonsense. "As for the differentiation... you can just treat it as a title."
Ye Shu looked puzzled. "That's it?"
Jin Wang said firmly, "That's it."
"Alright..." Ye Shu didn't doubt him and said, "Let's continue discussing the topic from before. Has Your Majesty decided on what position to give me?"
Jin Wang: "..."
Ye Shu had only said this to tease Jin Wang. Who would have thought that on the second day after they returned to the palace, Jin Wang would actually issue an edict?
The beauty sent by the Taichang Temple was conferred the title of An Bin. Her position was slightly lower than that of the Imperial Concubine. Just like the Imperial Concubine, the chamberlain had to address him as "Gongzi".
As one of the few imperial concubines of the current emperor, one was given the Eternal Longevity Palace and the other was given the Chengqian Palace. They were on the left and right sides of the Yangxin Palace Hall. It could be seen how much His Majesty favored these two imperial concubines.
However, the wedding ceremony that had been put on hold was not mentioned again.
At this point, no one in the imperial court objected to the matter of taking in an imperial concubine.
As long as His Majesty took in Kun Jun, it was only a matter of time before they would have a prince. There was no need to be too anxious.
As for Ye Shu... he didn't go to the Eternal Longevity Palace or the Chengqian Palace.
He returned to the Yangxin Palace Hall and locked himself in the small, dark room.
"I don't think this will work." Ye Shu stood by the bed and said to Jin Wang in a serious tone, "You can't continue to lock me up."
The chamberlain was helping Jin Wang change his clothes. Jin Wang heard this and raised his head. "Why?"
Ye Shu said angrily, "I've put on weight these past few days!"
Ye Shu's figure was thin, but when he changed his clothes today, he discovered that his waist and abdomen were rounder than before.
No matter how he thought about it, it was all Jin Wang's fault.
When Jin Wang heard this, his eyes lit up. "Come over here and let Us take a look."
Ye Shu walked over angrily and was hugged by Jin Wang to sit down.
He gently placed his hand on Ye Shu's abdomen.
His flat abdomen had not yet become obvious, so it wasn't obvious from the outside. However, when he touched it, he could clearly feel that it was rounder than before. It was soft to the touch.
Jin Wang restrained the smile in his eyes and deliberately said, "How have you put on weight?
There doesn't seem to be any difference. "
Ye Shu said angrily, "In any case, you can't lock me up anymore. I want to go out."
Jin Wang said, "No."
Ye Shu said, "... Hmph."
Jin Wang knocked his forehead. "Who told you to be disobedient earlier? If I only let you out after locking you up for a few days, would I still have any dignity left?"
Bastard Jin Wang.
Ye Shu was so angry that he didn't want to bother with him.
When it was time for the morning court session, Jin Wang left with his people, leaving Ye Shu alone in his chambers.
Ye Shu was bored and began to fiddle with his disguise tools again.
These days, Jin Wang would take Ye Shu out for a walk after the morning court session.
Ye Shu was now addicted to playing the role of two imperial concubines. Every day, he would change into a different identity, saying that he wanted to let His Majesty have equal access to both.
Not only that, he also tried to develop other people's disguises in an attempt to bring Jin Wang into the imperial harem.
However, during his first attempt, Jin Wang discovered that there was an unfamiliar man on his dragon bed after the morning court session. He was so angry that he almost dragged the man out and beat him to death.
… … It was an extremely tragic experience.
Ye Shu had just finished disguising himself when a servant came in to report, "Young master, Imperial Physician Feng is here for a routine examination."
"Have him wait outside."
Ye Shu responded and was about to remove the disguise on his face when he suddenly stopped.
Imperial Physician Feng would come every few days to check Ye Shu's pulse. However, every time, he would come to the conclusion that his body was in good health and that there were no abnormalities.
However, he was tired and sleepy, his stomach was bloated, and he would occasionally vomit. All these symptoms had not completely disappeared.
Could it be that the imperial physician was in cahoots with Jin Wang and was hiding something from him?
Ye Shu thought of this and put down his hand. He turned around and walked to the side of the bed. "Let him in."
When Imperial Physician Feng came in, he didn't see Ye Xiang, but a young master.
The young master was leaning against the side of the dragon bed with a tired expression. He looked at Imperial Physician Feng through the opened bed curtains and seemed to be feeling unwell.
Imperial Physician Feng naturally recognized that this was An Bin.
Imperial Physician Feng immediately bowed to him. "Greetings, young master."
Ye Shu softened his voice and gently said, "Imperial Physician, you don't need to be so courteous."
Imperial Physician Feng stood up. "Young master, this official is here to check the imperial concubine's pulse. I wonder if he …"
"The imperial concubine is not here today. Imperial Physician Feng can come later."
Ye Shu lay down weakly and said in a gentle voice. "It just so happens that I am not feeling well today. Can the imperial physician also check on me?"
A hand stretched out from the bed curtains.
