The hall fell into silence once more.

Ye Shu clutched the soft silk blanket, his knuckles turning white as he barely managed to stop himself from fainting again.

He even asked him what he wanted to say?

Was there any point in saying anything now?

This dog of an emperor.

Jin Wang, on the other hand, was very patient. He sat on the edge of the bed and watched him quietly without rushing him.

The two were in a deadlock for a while before Ye Shu asked with a trembling voice, "If... if I said that I did all this for your own good, would you believe me?"

Jin Wang clearly did not expect him to say this and nodded slightly, "I would like to hear the details."

Ye Shu quietly sized him up.

Jin Wang had always been a person who did not show his emotions on his face. Even the attendants who had been by his side for many years found it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

He was unpredictable. One second, he might be chatting and laughing with someone, and the next, he might start a massacre because of a single sentence that did not go his way.

Accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. This saying was not false.

Ye Shu was so nervous that his stomach spasmed. He rubbed his abdomen and braced himself to say, "I... I discovered that Western Xia had secretly sent spies into the capital, so I pretended... pretended to cooperate with them.

I did all this to lure them out and help Your Majesty eliminate foreign enemies. "

"Oh?" Jin Wang calmly said, "Continue."

"As for the commander of the imperial guards, he had long had thoughts of rebelling. Naturally, I did all this to catch all the rebels in the court in one fell swoop."

Perhaps he was too nervous, but Ye Shu's thoughts became clearer the more he spoke. He made it up to the point that he almost believed it himself, "Also, didn't Your Majesty receive news from spies beforehand that there would be an assassination attempt last night?"

Jin Wang raised his eyebrows, "Ye Xiang wants to say that this matter was related to you?"

"Of course!"

Ye Shu's expression was incomparably sincere, "I was afraid that news would leak out, so I did not dare to inform Your Majesty of the plan. I could only use this method to pass on the information.

Fortunately, Your Majesty is resourceful and cooperated seamlessly with me, so... "

Someone gently knocked on the door of the hall.

Jin Wang raised his hand to stop Ye Shu from speaking and called out, "Come in."

Several maids carried trays into the hall.

Ye Shu immediately smelled the aroma of the food and his stomach rumbled.

Jin Wang smiled. "Hungry?"

"… Yeah."

Ever since Ye Shu had transmigrated into this world, he had not eaten a single grain of rice. He had a chronic stomachache, and it was easy for the stomachache to relapse when he was too hungry. If the stomachache got serious, he would have to be sent to the emergency room.

Jin Wang stood up and said in a gentle tone, "Come, let's talk while we eat."

Ye Shu followed Jin Wang to the table. The servant who tested the poison had already finished testing the dishes.

Jin Wang dismissed everyone and pulled Ye Shu to sit down.

Most of the dishes on the table were bland. Jin Wang personally scooped a bowl of soft millet porridge and pushed it in front of Ye Shu.

Ye Shu glanced at him suspiciously.

What a scene of deep brotherly love, a scene of a sage monarch and virtuous minister.

If he hadn't read the book, he would have thought that he was in a socialist bromance novel.

What was Jin Wang acting out with him?

The stabbing pain in his stomach became more and more obvious. Ye Shu did not intend to make things difficult for himself and obediently ate the porridge.

Jin Wang did not move his chopsticks. He tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then said in a gentle voice, "Ye Xiang just said that you were the one who leaked the news of the assassination to my spy?"

Ye Shu paused for a moment, then said naturally, "Yes."

Jin Wang frowned slightly, as if he was considering whether he was telling the truth or not.

In the book, it was actually the original owner's subordinates who did not keep their mouths shut. When they passed on the information, the spy in the capital found out about it.

Now, he was trying to take advantage of the situation and make it sound like he had deliberately exposed a flaw.

If Jin Wang continued to ask, he could even tell him which spy had received the information and at what stage.

Ha, he wanted to fight with him.

You didn't expect that this young master had transmigrated into this world.

Ye Shu was very pleased with himself. Even the porridge that he was drinking became more fragrant and sweet.

Jin Wang only supported his chin and asked curiously, "Then can Ye Xiang tell me how you were able to investigate my spy so clearly?"

Ye Shu's hand trembled and the spoon fell into the bowl of porridge.

Fuck.

In order to consolidate his power, Jin Wang had set up 300 spies in the capital when he ascended the throne.

The spies wandered in the dark and helped Jin Wang do all the things that were inconvenient for him to do in the open.

Of course, he knew this from reading the book. But in the book, this was the number one secret of Changlu.

If he knew this secret, he would die a more miserable death than if he killed his own master.

Ye Shu's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat. His voice unconsciously trembled as he said, "Your Majesty …"

Jin Wang smiled slightly, "I am here. Speak slowly."

Ye Shu had nothing to say.

He felt like he was dancing in a minefield. If he jumped, he would die. If he didn't jump, he would also die.

Ye Shu's stomach was in pain. He gave up and said, "Just give me a quick death."

Jin Wang asked, "My dear minister, why do you say that?"

"Look at your attitude towards me. Did you really believe me?"

Ye Shu pushed the bowl of porridge aside and stood up. He shouted, "Jin Wang, we have known each other since we were seven. Don't you know how I have treated you in the past ten years?"

Jin Wang was stunned.

"Suspecting me and testing me. Since you are so sure that I did it, then just kill me. Just treat it as if my sincerity over the past ten years has been fed to the dogs!"

Ye Shu's eyes were red, "Last night … last night, you still treated me like that …"

Ye Shu's voice was choked and trembling. He couldn't say anything.

Jin Wang fell silent.

For a moment, only Ye Shu's rapid breathing could be heard in the large hall. He seemed to be unable to stand. He held his stomach and slowly squatted down.

Jin Wang subconsciously went to help him up.

"Don't touch me." Ye Shu's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He said weakly, "Just let me die from the pain."

Jin Wang's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything. He quickly picked up Ye Shu and strode into the inner room.

Jin Wang placed Ye Shu on the bed and went out to order someone to call for an imperial physician.

Ye Shu raised his eyelids and quietly looked outside.

It seemed that this dog emperor was amenable to coaxing, but not coercion.

The book didn't go into detail about Jin Wang's feelings for the original owner, but it did mention a little.

Jin Wang was born in the cold palace. His mother died of an illness when he was young.

The previous emperor was greedy for beauty and indulged in pleasure. He didn't care about his own son.

For a long time, Jin Wang and the original owner could only rely on each other for survival.

During the most difficult times, the original owner had to use all sorts of methods to get even a mouthful of food.

Jin Wang was young and weak. The original owner always left the little food for him. Because of this, the original owner developed an old illness in his stomach.

Coincidentally, Ye Shu also had stomach problems.

That made things much simpler.

He was too good at pretending to be sick.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached. Jin Wang returned to the bed.

Ye Shu deliberately turned over to avoid looking at him. His thin back arched like a shrimp and he weakly trembled.

Jin Wang filled a bowl with porridge, "Your old illness is acting up. Drink some porridge."

Ye Shu didn't even turn his head, "No."

Jin Wang narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Ye Shu, don't challenge my patience."

Ye Shu's fingers curled up and he nervously pursed his lips.

He really did want to challenge him today.

The inner room was silent. It was as if a silent undercurrent was surging between the two.

After a moment, Jin Wang sighed.

"Fine, it's my fault." Jin Wang said, "Get up and eat something. The imperial physician will be here soon."

Ye Shu loosened her grip, and her anxious heart finally calmed down.

He had passed this hurdle.

Jin Wang was still able to coax him to eat and was willing to invite an imperial physician to treat him. This meant that he didn't want him to die for the time being.

Ye Shu turned over and sat up. His face was still somewhat pale, "Give it to me."

Jin Wang ignored him.

He scooped up a spoonful of porridge and blew on it to cool it. Then, he brought it to Ye Shu's mouth, "Drink."

Ye Shu hesitated for a moment, then obediently lowered his head and drank a mouthful.

Jin Wang's expression finally relaxed.

Jin Wang was actually very handsome.

His facial features were handsome and deep. His eyes were sharp and carried a sense of aggression.

But when he looked at people with a smile in his eyes, the darkness in his eyes would disappear. Instead, one could vaguely see some affection and gentleness.

It made people unconsciously indulge in it.

"Do I look good?" Jin Wang asked.

Ye Shu suddenly came back to his senses. His ears were burning, "No, I wasn't looking at you."

Jin Wang smiled and didn't say anything.

Jin Wang fed Ye Shu spoonful by spoonful of porridge. He had just finished half a bowl when the imperial physician arrived.

In reality, the old imperial physician's legs were inconvenient. When Jin Wang sent someone to summon him, he had just walked to the palace gates.

The imperial physician, who had done nothing the entire day other than go back and forth between the monarch's chambers and the palace gates, "..."

The imperial physician stepped forward to take Ye Shu's pulse. Jin Wang didn't move aside and continued to feed Ye Shu the porridge in a seemingly leisurely manner.

The imperial physician didn't seem to notice and quickly took Ye Shu's pulse, "Ye Xiang has a stomach problem. It's not good for him to be in a state of great joy or sorrow or be nervous.

He must be calm and eat regularly to relieve his symptoms. "

Ye Shu, "..."

Was there anyone who could remain calm while following this tyrant?

Ye Shu obediently said, "I understand."

The imperial physician nodded and went outside to prescribe medicine.

After finishing the bowl of porridge, Jin Wang took out a silk handkerchief and gave it to Ye Shu to wipe his mouth.

Ye Shu finally couldn't take it anymore and tilted his head to avoid it, "I can do it myself."

Jin Wang smiled, "Are you shy?"

Was this person addicted to acting?

Ye Shu took the silk handkerchief from his hand and wiped his mouth carelessly.

The outer doors opened and the imperial physician left after prescribing medicine.

Ye Shu raised his eyes to look at Jin Wang. The latter looked at him with an expression that couldn't be discerned whether he was happy or angry.

This was actually very strange.

With Jin Wang's petty and suspicious personality, he should have flown into a rage and thrown him into prison when he found out that the original owner had betrayed him.

Instead of sitting here and calmly listening to his sophistry.

Moreover... Ye Shu vaguely felt that Jin Wang didn't seem to be too angry right now?

Jin Wang calmly looked at him and softly said, "What you said just now... made some sense. In the past ten years, you have treated me very well."

"Even if I don't care about the relationship between monarch and subject, I should still take into account the many years of friendship."

Ye Shu was moved, "Does Your Majesty believe me?"

Jin Wang faintly smiled, "I don't believe you."

"I don't believe a single word."

Ye Shu, "..."

This person really was crazy!!!
