Chapter 49： (1/2)
King Changlu was assassinated outside the palace, but fortunately he was treated in a timely manner and there was no major problem.
The moonlight hung high, Ye Shu walked out of the prison and looked up at night.
The blood-stained fox fur on his body had not had time to be replaced, and it was embellished in a piece of snow like a winter plum, looking shocking.
Ye Shu took a deep breath and calmed down the nausea in his lower abdomen.
He returned to the palace with Jinwang today, and after guarding the imperial physician to deal with his arrow wounds, he came to prison with the token Jinwang gave him.
The assassin who was in the Ye Mansion was killed by the guards on the spot, and when he was arrested, he committed suicide partly. In the end, only a few people were put in prison.
But it is enough.
Ye Shu was escorted back to the Hall of Nourishment by the guards. As soon as he walked in the door, he saw Jin Wang leaning lazily on the small couch, holding the notebook and reviewing it.
Except for his pale face, his spirit looked good.
No one could see that it was someone who almost lost his life half a day ago.
This person's recovery ability is truly breathtaking.
”I'm back, come here and hiss--” Seeing Ye Shu's return, Jin Wang was about to sit up, accidentally involving the wound, his face turned pale with pain.
There were several servants around him, and they were so scared to help him.
Ye Shu walked quickly and frowned, ”Why don't you go to bed and lie down?”
”Waiting for you to come back for dinner.” Jin Wang put a pillow behind him, barely propped up his body, and smiled at him, ”You are tired, sit down and rest for a while.”
Ye Shu hesitated and said, ”I'm going to take a bath.”
He just came out of the prison, where there is no sunshine all year round, it is humid and cold, and the heavy smell of blood lingers. Ye Shu stayed in it for several hours, and the smell on his body was hard to describe.
Ye Shu went to bathe and change clothes. When he came back, several servants were putting food on the table.
Gao Jin is helping Jinwang serve the soup.
Jin Wang was injured in his shoulder, and his entire arm could not be lifted until the injury healed.
However, as an emperor, most people can take care of him.
Ye Shu took the soup bowl in Gao Jin's hand and sat down beside Jin Wang: ”Go down.”
In the past, two people did not need to be served for meals, but today is a special situation. Gao Jin glanced at His Majesty's expression and saw that the latter had no objection, and then he waved back from the servant in the hall and withdrew from the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Ye Shu fed Jinwang soup with spoonfuls.
He suddenly remembered that he didn't like to serve this person before.
In this era, the imperial power is supreme, and this one in front of him is the emperor, and his identity is destined to surrender to and serve each other.
Ye Shu has never been accustomed to, and doesn't like this unequal relationship.
But now I no longer have such thoughts.
He moved meticulously and carefully, Jin Wang couldn't help but smiled: ”Be good at eating by yourself, not so weak as you think.”
Ye Shu ignored him, and took another spoonful of soup to blow cold, and fed it to Jinwang's mouth.
He didn't believe what the man said.
For the first time today he saw Jin Wang look so weak.
When the carriage returned to the palace, Jin Wang was covered in blood, but his face was whiter than the snow on the eaves, and there was no blood.
As long as he remembered that his appearance was caused by himself, Ye Shu was almost out of breath with pain in his heart.
Jin Wang asked again, ”How are the assassins doing?”
Ye Shu paused and lowered his eyes: ”Did the Forbidden Army come back to report?”
”Thank you.” Jin Wang chuckled, ”They said you were a good man, and a little interrogation would make those people truthfully confess.”
”How can it be such an exaggeration.” Ye Shu shook his head and said, ”I have verified that those people are not the leftist party.”
After all, Ye Shu is still nominal left.
It may not be so simple to find out the details of those people, but it is not difficult to find out if they are part of the original owner.
He just asked a few questions, and those people were full of errors and omissions, admitting that they just wanted to use the name of Ye Xiang to justify the real employer.
Just who the real employer is is currently unknown.
If it were in the past, Ye Shu would be very happy if he was eluded of the assassination, but he was a little disappointed today.
Lost another clue about the original owner.
Jin Wang naturally knew what he was thinking, and didn't mention it. He changed the subject and said: ”Those assassins are well-trained, most of them are killers who make a living on this. Such people will never easily betray their employers and find them. It’s easy to break, but it’s hard to pry open their mouths.”
”...It's actually not difficult.” Ye Shu whispered.
He raised his eyes to Jin Wang, and said, ”You give me three more days and I will find out the truth.”
Jin Wang: ”Ashu, you don't have to...”
Ye Shu interrupted: ”You have given me all your tokens. There is nothing you can do if you don't agree. I will definitely check.”
”...”
Jin Wang was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed: ”Fool, I've said that, I don't blame you for today's things.”
Ye Shu was startled slightly, his lips pressed lightly.
Jin Wang raised his uninjured hand and touched the other side's face: ”Gu was injured for you, and you feel uncomfortable in your heart, so I want to find out the truth for Gu, right?”
”But in Gu's opinion, those are far less important than you.” Jin Wang said, ”Ashu, in Guxin, everything combined is less important than your safety.”
He said that he was very emotional and wanted to straighten up and hug the person in front of him, but his face became stiff because of the injury involved.
The brewing atmosphere was swept away.
”I'm not trying to be strong.” Ye Shu didn't pay attention to his movements at all, but seriously said, ”You believe me, it only takes three days, three days is enough.”
”...” Jin Wang gave up fighting the injury and lay back on the pillow, ”Then you must promise to be lonely, not to be tired, not to encounter danger, and not to do anything harmful to the body.”
”Well, I promise you.”
”After three days, no matter what the result is, you can't pursue it anymore.”
”it is good.”
Jin Wang pondered for a moment: ”There is one more thing...”
”what?”
Jin Wang gritted his teeth and said annoyed: ”Sit here, I can't hold you alone.”
”...”
Ye Shu's auricle was a little hot, put down the soup bowl, and leaned against Jinwang. Thinking again, simply lowered his head and leaned into Jin Wang's arms.
He controlled his strength carefully, tried not to touch Jin Wang's injury, and gently put his head on the opponent's shoulder.
”is this okay?”
Jin Wang raised his uninjured hand and encircled Ye Shu's waist.
