Jin Wang had previously mentioned to Ye Shu that he wanted to restore his identity, but he didn't expect this person to have already drafted the imperial edict so quickly.

Furthermore...

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Ye Shu pointed at the imperial edict, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "My rebellion was just an act to catch the spies hidden in the capital?

You faked your death to make the traitors in the imperial court lower their guard, so that you could catch them all in one fell swoop? "

"How is that nonsense? Isn't that the truth?"

Jin Wang said, "After the assassination at the hunting grounds, all the spies hidden in the capital were caught, and the intelligence network that they had built up over the years was also uprooted.

As for how you caught all the traitors in the imperial court in one fell swoop, all the officials saw it for themselves. "

Ye Shu was stunned by his nonsense with a straight face.

Furthermore, the first reason seemed to be something that he had casually made up, yet this person was using it just like that???

Ye Shu said, "But the original owner's rebellion is a fact..."

"But that wasn't done by you." Jin Wang calmly looked back at him.

After that day, Ye Shu found time to bring the little yellow dog back to Yangxin Palace Hall and explained everything clearly.

After learning the truth, Jin Wang wasn't too surprised.

After all, this person was able to accept that he was just a character from a book without any difficulty. His mental fortitude was so strong that Ye Shu couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"A Shu, I've already told you that you don't need to take responsibility for something that you didn't do. That would be unfair to you," Jin Wang said warmly.

Ye Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he looked away. "Do you think anyone will believe this reason? Isn't it too far-fetched..."

Jin Wang chuckled softly. "Do you think everyone is the same, so impudent in front of me?

Who would dare to not believe an imperial edict that I personally issued? "

Oh, I almost forgot. This person was the Emperor.

No matter how outrageous the Emperor's words were, no one would dare to question them.

Jin Wang took the imperial seal from the side and handed it to Ye Shu. "If there are no objections, then seal it."

Ye Shu's expression froze.

He didn't take it. Instead, he placed his hand on the back of Jin Wang's hand, intertwined his fingers, and pressed down hard at the end of the edict.

Unlike Ye Shu's cold limbs, Jin Wang's hands were very warm. His fingers were slender and strong, and his joints were clearly defined.

That warmth turned into scalding heat when their skin touched, and it was transmitted through their palms.

Ye Shu wanted to retract his hand, but Jin Wang grabbed it instead.

He gently rubbed Ye Shu's hand with his fingertips and said, "I forgot to mention just now, the Right Prime Minister is already very old. Before the end of the year, he had already submitted his resignation letter to me.

I approve. "

It was the same in the book.

Changlu had left and right ministers. The left minister was a trusted aide of the monarch, while the right minister was an elder of three dynasties.

In the same year that the Left Prime Minister rebelled, the Right Prime Minister retired and returned to his hometown. Jin Wang decided to remove him from the post of Prime Minister and never set him up again.

However, Jin Wang clearly did not mean that.

He had been tricked by him again.

Ye Shu smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, please be more humane. You haven't even been born yet, and you're already in such a hurry to make me work for you?"

Jin Wang's expression was calm, and his tone was neither fast nor slow. "I will naturally share your burdens. I won't let you be burdened."

Ye Shu turned around, and their gazes met. They both laughed at the same time.

Jin Wang kissed Ye Shu on the lips.

"Welcome back, my Ye Xiang."

The next day, the monarch announced to the world that the true identity of the imperial concubine was actually the Left Prime Minister Ye Shu.

The imperial edict explained in detail that the Left Prime Minister had faked his death to put on a show, and that the case of the Left Prime Minister had been overturned. It also used a long speech to describe how Ye Xiang had worked hard for Changlu and was loyal and devoted to the emperor.

The imperial edict was written in a moving manner, and all the rumors among the people were dispelled.

As for why Ye Xiang had pretended to be the imperial concubine after faking his death, the imperial edict did not mention it at all. All the officials had their own thoughts.

The disagreement was fake, the falling out was fake, and the substitute was also fake. Could the display of affection in front of all the officials also be fake?

Everyone was unsure.

Once the imperial edict was released, the entire court was immediately divided into two factions.

Those who were certain that the emperor and Ye Xiang had cooperated previously to put on a show. To use the word 'love' to guess the relationship between the two of them was simply a disgrace to the brotherly love between them.

On the other hand, the other side believed that there was true love in the world, and that there was true love between the emperor and his minister. The two of them having feelings for each other did not affect their secret cooperation.

The two factions were at odds. As for Ye Xiang's fake death, not many people cared.

Not to mention Ye Shu, even Jin Wang did not expect this result.

"We're all too free. Just do more work." Ye Xiang, who had been reinstated, said.

After the imperial edict was released, Jin Wang completely renovated the Ye residence.

After another half a month, the Ye residence was completely renovated, and Jin Wang's injuries were basically healed.

Jin Wang picked a day and personally sent him back to the residence.

On the day Ye Xiang returned to the residence, a long line of carriages carrying the imperial bestowed treasures lined the streets of Chang 'an. The common people lined the streets to welcome them. It could be said that the scenery was boundless. It was even more magnificent than when the Ye residence was first completed.

"What a waste of money and manpower." Ye Shu lowered the curtain of the carriage and shrunk back resentfully.

Jin Wang placed a hand on Ye Shu's shoulder and smiled faintly. "I've already removed most of the treasures as you wished. Are you still not satisfied?"

"… …" Ye Shu said, "Satisfied, very satisfied."

Jin Wang smiled and kissed him.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, all of Ye Shu's servants were waiting in the residence.

These days, Jin Wang actually did not make things difficult for them. After being imprisoned for a few days, he found a manor outside the city and put them under house arrest.

It was just that previously, they all thought that Ye Shu was dead and were on tenterhooks day and night, afraid that they would be implicated.

Seeing their master return to the residence in such a glorious manner, they all shed silent tears. Some of the elderly and weak even fainted on the spot.

Jin Wang had Gao Jin read out the imperial edict. Ye Shu bowed and received the edict. In front of everyone, the two of them acted out a virtuous and virtuous monarch.

After dismissing the officials who had come to join in the fun, the gates of the Prime Minister's residence were closed. Ye Shu was unhappy.

"Why are you still here?" Ye Shu walked into the central room and glanced at the person beside him.

A maid was about to serve the two of them tea. When she heard Ye Shu's tone, she was so frightened that she almost fell to her knees.

Jin Wang was not angry. He hugged her and sat down on the main seat. "Are you really not coming back with me tonight?

After all, this place is not as good as the palace, and … … "

He glanced at Ye Shu's abdomen.

It was still winter, so Ye Shu's abdomen could still be covered with an outer garment. However, spring was coming soon, so his abdomen would not be able to be hidden.

According to Jin Wang's intentions, he naturally wanted to announce his relationship with Ye Shu to the public as soon as possible, so that he could openly marry him into the palace.

However, he had his doubts.

Previously, he had thought that Ye Shu was plotting a rebellion. This series of actions had almost destroyed the foundation that the original owner of this body had built in the imperial court over the years.

If he wanted to restore Ye Xiang's former prestige, it was far from enough to just reward him with some wealth.

He still needed some time.

At this time, announcing to the public that Ye Shu was pregnant with his child and then bringing her into the imperial harem would make it meaningless for him to restore Ye Shu's official position.

He did not want Ye Shu to become his subordinate.

As for Ye Shu himself, he did not care about these things at first.

He was not from this world, so he did not pursue power. He also did not have any ambitions. Whether or not he could clear his name and restore his official position, he did not particularly care.

However, he could not resist Jin Wang's constant nagging.

One moment, he felt that he should let Ye Shu return to his normal life as an official, so that it would be easier for him to do things. The next moment, he felt that it was not safe for Ye Shu to leave the palace, so he could not be at ease.

After struggling for more than half a month, Ye Shu finally came to a decision.

— — He would return to his residence and stay there for a few days.

Jin Wang muttered to himself for a moment, "Why don't we stay at your residence tonight?"

"… …"

The two of them looked at each other. Ye Shu was expressionless.

"Ye Xiang has just been restored to his official position, so we still have many things to discuss with Ye Xiang personally." Jin Wang put on a righteous appearance, "Ye Xiang must prioritize the overall situation."

Ye Shu, "… …"

Prioritize the overall situation my ass.

Thus, on this day, after His Majesty personally sent Ye Xiang back to his residence, Ye Xiang not only hosted a banquet in his residence to entertain His Majesty, he also discussed state affairs with His Majesty for an entire night.

The news spread throughout the country the next day, and everyone sighed with emotion. Ye Xiang was truly a wise minister of the dynasty.

In the following days, Ye Xiang and His Majesty frequently discussed matters.

His Majesty would visit the Ye residence almost every day, and the two of them would talk for an entire night. In the end, even the servants in the residence began to worry.

The young master and His Majesty discussed matters every night. It had been a long time since he had a good night's sleep. If this continued, how could his body endure?

Fortunately, as winter came to an end, Jin Wang finally became busy and no longer had the time to run to the Ye residence every day.

Thus, he could only summon Ye Xiang to the palace in the name of discussing matters.

"I'm not going."

Ye Shu glanced at Gao Jin, who had come to summon him, and said in a cold tone, "Eunuch, report to His Majesty that this official is not feeling well tonight and cannot discuss matters."

Gao Jin was a little troubled, "This …"

Ye Shu said, "My original words were, if he blames you, I will take responsibility."

After sending Gao Jin away, Ye Shu leaned back in his chair and rubbed his abdomen through his clothes, "I've never seen your father so clingy. Let's ignore him today. You don't have any objections, right?"

The cub moved slightly under his skin.

The adult and the child reached a consensus.

It wasn't that Ye Shu wanted to cause trouble for no reason, but recently … he had been a little restless.

Ever since the wet period, Jin Wang had not touched him.

In addition, now that his abdomen was gradually growing, Jin Wang was worried that he would hurt the child, so he rarely even comforted him.

Ever since he transmigrated to this world, he had never abstained from sex for such a long time.

Normally, he could still restrain himself, but once he got close to that person …

It was all because that bastard kept seducing him.

It was already late at night. Ye Shu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

When that person was by his side, he couldn't stand it. But when that person wasn't by his side, it was a different story.

If there really were evildoers who could bring disaster to a country, Jin Wang would definitely be one of them.

Ye Shu thought angrily.

It was quiet outside the room. Suddenly, a strange sound came from outside the window.

Ye Shu hadn't been asleep to begin with, so he immediately opened his eyes.

He was all too familiar with this sound.

His Majesty the Monarch's ability to climb over walls and windows was getting better and better.

Ye Shu didn't make a sound as he closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

In the darkness, he felt someone slowly approach him and lift the bed curtains.

But that was it.

That person seemed to only be standing at the head of the bed, quietly looking at him without moving or making a sound.

… Did Jin Wang change his nature tonight?

The two of them were in an invisible stalemate for a moment. Ye Shu couldn't take it anymore and quietly opened his eyes to clearly see the silhouette standing in front of the bed.

It wasn't Jin Wang.

Ye Shu suddenly sat up. Just as he was about to speak, someone covered his mouth, "It's me."

This voice was still somewhat young and inexperienced, but it sounded particularly familiar.

Ye Shu's eyes flickered, and the latter said, "Xiao Huan."

It was actually Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan had clearly left the capital a few days ago, so how could he …

The moon was obscured by dark clouds, so Ye Shu couldn't clearly see Xiao Huan's expression. He could only feel the dense cold air emanating from his body.

He didn't know how long he had been running around outside, but his body was so cold.

As if worried that the cold air would spread to his body, Xiao Huan let go of his hand and took half a step back.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I just … I heard some things on the way here, so I came back to confirm …"

The youth seemed to be at a loss, "You … You really are …"

"It's me," Ye Shu said, "I lied to you before. I'm sorry."

Xiao Huan's voice paused.

"I knew it …" After a long time, Xiao Huan said softly, "I knew you wouldn't do something like that. That's great, Ye Shu gege. It's great that you're fine …"

Ye Shu asked, "If you wanted to see me, why did you come through the window in the middle of the night?"

"I …" Xiao Huan rubbed his nose, "I just arrived in the capital. I didn't expect it to be this late already, but I was too impatient and couldn't wait until dawn."

"…"

Why was this child so silly?

Ye Shu sighed, "Forget it. I'll have the servants arrange a bedroom for you. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow."

He got up and was about to walk out the door when someone suddenly tugged on his sleeve.

Ye Shu turned around and saw the pitiful expression in the other party's eyes.

"What's wrong now?" Ye Shu's heart softened as he asked patiently.

Xiao Huan felt wronged, "You're Kun-jun …"

"…" Ye Shu said, "Yes."

Xiao Huan felt even more wronged.

Ye Shu felt helpless and said honestly, "Xiao Huan, even if I'm not Kun-jun, it's still impossible for us to be together."

"Is it because Ye Shu gege has someone he likes?"

Ye Shu said, "Yes."

The youth's eyes reddened, "Is it Jin Wang?"

Ye Shu didn't answer.

Little Kun-jun looked very wronged and couldn't help but feel pity for him.

He reached out and gently patted the youth's head, "Xiao Huan, you're still young. You don't understand that worship and love are two completely different things.

When you understand, you'll find someone you truly like. "

Xiao Huan suddenly hugged him, "But I'm …"

His voice stopped abruptly.

A martial artist's senses were extremely sharp. He could clearly feel a slight bulge under the other party's thin clothes.

This is …

Xiao Huan's expression went blank for a moment.

Suddenly, there was another sound outside the window.

The two of them subconsciously turned around.

A familiar figure was leaning against the window with his arms crossed in front of him. His expression was hidden in the darkness and couldn't be seen clearly.

Ye Shu's heart skipped a beat.
