After sending off the imperial physician, Jin Wang returned to his bedchamber alone.

Ye Shu was leaning against the couch, reading a book.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Shu raised his eyes and glanced at him, then coldly retracted his gaze.

He still hasn't calmed down.

Jin Wang, who didn't know what he had done wrong, was speechless.

Kun Jun's mood changes during pregnancy. Gu must not get angry. Gu must coax him.

Jin Wang repeated this sentence countless times in his heart. He walked over to Ye Shu and sat down beside him, "A Shu, you must be tired today. Go take a bath first, then rest early."

"I'm not going."

Ye Shu turned his back to him and even wrapped himself in the blanket, making himself look like a white furry ball.

Jin Wang continued to coax him patiently, "You caught a cold today. You must take a bath to dispel the cold. Otherwise, you will get sick tomorrow."

Ye Shu was silent for a moment.

He threw the book in his hand onto the couch and opened his arms, "Then carry me there."

Jin Wang, "…" When did this person become so good at ordering Gu around?

This is too much.

Jin Wang was already a little depressed at the imperial physician's place, but now he suddenly got angry, "Walk on your own."

Ye Shu decisively said, "Then I won't go."

The two of them, one sitting and one standing, looked at each other for a moment.

Jin Wang, "… Carry."

… He is Gu's Kun Jun. He is pregnant with Gu's child. Gu must coax him.

Jin Wang carried him to the side chamber.

Under Jin Wang's instructions, the bathing pool was already filled with herbs to dispel the cold. The temperature of the water was higher than usual, and the room was filled with steam.

When the servants saw that His Majesty had personally carried the imperial concubine, they all calmly bowed in greeting.

— — Even the servants were used to this.

Jin Wang dismissed his servants and placed Ye Shu beside the bathing pool. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Ye Shu looked at him suspiciously, "Why hasn't Your Majesty left yet?"

Jin Wang cleared his throat and said calmly, "I want to be with you today."

Ye Shu: "…"

Jin Wang reflected on his actions over the past few days and finally felt that it was inappropriate.

He had overindulged the man.

This person wasn't trying to ride on Gu Xijiu's head, he was already having fun on Gu Xijiu's head.

This won't do.

His Majesty decided to get back at them.

Jin Wang said, "Today, you will serve me as I bathe."

Ye Shu narrowed his eyes.

Jin Wang met Ye Shu's gaze and added in a low voice, "... my hand is injured, so it's inconvenient."

Ye Shu: "… Oh."

His reasoning was irrefutable.

Anyway, she had bathed with Jin Wang more than once, so there was nothing to be shy about.

Ye Shu didn't say anything else. He took off his coat and went into the water.

A moment later, the water beside him rippled, and Jin Wang sat beside him.

The bathing pool carved from white jade was big enough to accommodate a few more people. The two of them sat side by side on one side of the pool, their faces blurry from the reflection of the water.

Jin Wang's injured hand rested on the edge of the pool. Ye Shu scooped some water and helped him wash his hair.

For a while, only the sound of water could be heard in the bathing pool.

But gradually, it was Jin Wang who couldn't hold himself back anymore.

He grabbed Ye Shu's hand, and his ears reddened imperceptibly. "Don't come any closer!"

Ye Shu said innocently, "Didn't Your Majesty ask me to serve you?"

"…" I didn't ask you to spread so much incense.

Jin Wang felt the air in the bathing pool become thinner and thinner, and even breathing became difficult.

If this continued, something bad would happen.

Jin Wang got up to leave, but Ye Shu grabbed him. "Where is Your Majesty going?"

"I'm going …" Jin Wang's palms were very warm from the water, and the places where their skin touched were so hot that they almost burned. Jin Wang's ears immediately turned red. "I'm going out to get some fresh air!"

Jin Wang said this, then hastily got up, wiped himself dry, and ran off.

Ye Shu burst out laughing.

He really was an idiot.

Ye Shu took a deep breath and sensed the green plum blossom incense lingering in the air.

He had been learning how to control the incense for the past few days, and although he still hadn't mastered it well, it wasn't difficult to release a little bit to tease this person.

Releasing was always easier than controlling it.

Who told this dog emperor to lie to him? Serves him right.

Ye Shu stretched her body in the water. Soon, she was drowsy.

Jin Wang stood outside for a full ten minutes in the cold wind before he finally calmed himself down.

When he returned to the side chamber feeling refreshed, Ye Shu had already fallen asleep in the water.

The youth was lying on the edge of the bathtub, his black hair spread out and his head resting on his bare arms. He was sleeping soundly.

Jin Wang's heart immediately softened.

… Why was he angry with him?

He was clearly the one who had let him down.

He walked to the edge of the bathtub, then lowered his head and stroked Ye Shu's hair. "A Shu, go back to your room and sleep."

Ye Shu was still in a daze. He resisted by burying his face in his arms and said in a gentle and seductive voice, "… Don't be noisy."

Jin Wang: "…"

This person was definitely doing this on purpose.

Jin Wang scooped him up from the water.

Ye Shu was extremely obedient after falling asleep and allowed Jin Wang to fiddle with him.

Jin Wang expended a great deal of self-control before he was finally able to help him put on his clothes, dry his hair, and carry him back to his room.

Jin Wang hugged Ye Shu as he laid him down on the bed and tucked him in.

Ye Shu was half-asleep and half-awake from his antics and began to squirm about in his arms.

"Ye Shu!" Jin Wang's blood was boiling from Ye Shu's rubbing, and he restrained Ye Shu's limbs. "Don't move around anymore."

"… Bastard Jin Wang." Ye Shu's entire body was restrained and he couldn't move. He closed his eyes and scolded, "You're really annoying."

Jin Wang was already used to this person spouting nonsense after he fell asleep, so he laughed instead. "I'm treating you so well, yet you're still annoyed. Can you be reasonable?"

Ye Shu was unreasonable. "You're just annoying."

Jin Wang asked, "How am I annoying?"

Ye Shu was silent for a while, then he said in a low voice, "… I won't tell you. Think about it yourself."

"But I can't think of it." Jin Wang leaned closer and said in a soft voice, "A Shu, how did I make you unhappy?"

"You make me angry in every way."

Ye Shu rubbed his head against Jin Wang's chest and said vaguely, "… You're always lying to me. You don't treat me well at all."

"… Dog Emperor."

The smile on Jin Wang's face faded. "When have I ever lied to you?"

"… Why should I tell you?" Ye Shu's voice gradually weakened. "I'm not telling you."

Ye Shu's breathing gradually stabilized, and he quickly fell asleep.

Jin Wang pulled him into his arms and frowned slightly.

Could it be … that he had guessed it?

.

For the next few days, Ye Shu obediently rested in his bedchamber. It was rare for him to be so peaceful.

Jin Wang also didn't bring up the previous matter with him again.

On this day, when Ye Shu woke up, Jin Wang had already gone to attend morning court.

He slowly finished his breakfast, and a chamberlain announced that Imperial Physician Feng had arrived.

After the previous incident, Imperial Physician Feng deeply felt that it wasn't easy for the imperial concubine to survive in the harem. After returning to the imperial hospital, he didn't close his eyes for several days. He worked day and night to prepare the medicine, and today, he finally finished it.

He couldn't wait any longer and immediately came to Yangxin Palace Hall under the pretext of examining the imperial concubine.

Ye Shu poured out a pill from the jade bottle and examined it with his fingertips. "This is the abortion medicine?"

"Yes."

Imperial Physician Feng leaned closer and lowered his voice. "This medicine dissolves in water and is colorless and tasteless. It can also be mixed in with food. I guarantee that it won't be discovered by anyone."

Ye Shu put the pill back into the bottle and said with a serious expression, "I'll have to trouble the imperial physician."

"It's fine. It's fine as long as this official can help gongzi."

Imperial Physician Feng thought about it and said seriously, "That's right, this medicine is extremely harmful to the body. It must not be used by normal people. Gongzi, please don't eat it by mistake."

"…"

Of course, the imperial physician had to remind him not to eat it by mistake. After all, he was also pregnant.

Ye Shu played with the jade bottle in his hand, while his other hand unconsciously fell to his lower abdomen. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Ye Shu smiled and said, "Alright, I'll remember."

Ye Shu hid the pill well and said, "I hope that the imperial physician will keep today's matter a secret for the time being. You must not let His Majesty know about it."

"This official understands."

Imperial Physician Feng nodded in response. When he saw that Ye Shu was about to get up to send him off, he hurriedly said, "Gongzi, please stay in bed and rest. This official can leave on his own."

Ye Shu was about to nod when he suddenly heard a voice from outside the door.

A figure dressed in black and gold walked in with his entourage. There was a dangerous smile in his eyes. "What is it that you can't let me know?"
