Jin Wang narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at the two people in the room who were hugging each other.

His Prime Minister was throwing a tantrum today. He had been summoned several times, but she refused to enter the palace. He had sent Gao Jin to personally invite her, but they had all been sent back.

Perhaps it was because the two of them had been sticking together recently, but Her Majesty could no longer stand being alone.

He hurried to deal with the matters at hand and drove here without taking a break.

Then he saw this scene.

The two little Kun Lords in the room were a little stunned. They stared blankly in Jin Wang's direction. Xiao Huan's hand was still on Ye Shu's arm.

Ye Shu was the first to recover. He hurriedly pushed Xiao Huan away. "No, it's not like that. Listen to me!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Huan didn't let go. Instead, she held on to Ye Shu even tighter. "Your … your stomach …"

"Let go!"

"Why did you …"

Before Xiao Huan could finish speaking, a hand reached out from the side and forcefully pushed his hand away.

Jin Wang pulled Ye Shu into his arms and looked at him with a faint smile. "No wonder Ye Xiang didn't listen to the summons today. It turns out that he was meeting someone in private."

Ye Shu: "…"

Was it too late for him to put it back on?

A moment later, the room was brightly lit. Jin Wang sat in the main seat. Ye Shu carefully brought him a cup of tea.

Xiao Huan stood to the side and glared angrily at Jin Wang.

It was close to falling asleep. Ye Shu wasn't wearing much. His waist was slender, and the outline of his bulging abdomen was even more obvious.

How could Xiao Huan not see what it was at this time?

Dog!

Emperor!

Emperor!

Xiao Huan's eyes were red. She looked as if she wanted to fight Jin Wang to the death right there and then.

The atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was hard to breathe.

Ye Shu hung his head like a quail. He looked down and tried his best to minimize his presence.

"Why are you still standing? You can't stand for too long. Come and sit down," Jin Wang said indifferently as he sipped his tea.

Ye Shu replied with an "Oh." Just as he was about to walk past Jin Wang to stand in front of him, he was forcefully pulled into an embrace.

Jin Wang chuckled as his warm breath brushed against the back of her ear. "I meant to sit here."

Ye Shu shuddered and his waist went limp. "Let go..."

"I'm not letting go," Jin Wang hugged his waist and said softly, "Don't you like it when I hug you like this?"

Xiao Huan's knuckles cracked.

Ye Shu: "…"

Oh no, I forgot that there was someone else in the house.

Ye Shu's ears were burning red. He didn't dare to raise his head.

Jin Wang asked leisurely, "The Lord Protector left the capital a few days ago. Why did Young Master Xiao return?"

Xiao Huan didn't know how many times he had cursed Jin Wang in his heart. He replied in a muffled voice, "This subject heard that Ye Xiang had been reinstated and came to visit."

"Since you came to visit, why did you enter through the window in the dead of night?

What kind of scandal is this? "

Xiao Huan looked at him, speechless.

[You didn't enter through the window???]

Jin Wang calmly looked at Xiao Huan. He didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with the monarch of a country entering his subject's bedroom in the middle of the night.

Ye Shu quietly pulled on Jin Wang's sleeve. "Your Majesty..."

Jin Wang tilted his head and looked at him. "Hm?"

"Today's matter was a misunderstanding. I didn't know that Young Master Xiao would come here. Also... also, he didn't mean to..."

Xiao Huan had only come here because he was worried about him. He didn't want this person to be punished because of him.

Jin Wang calmly moved closer and lowered his voice. "Beloved subject, are you begging for mercy on his behalf?"

Ye Shu pursed his lips and nodded.

The smile in Jin Wang's eyes deepened. "Then, beloved subject, do you know what price you have to pay if you want me to let him go?"

Even Ye Shu's neck turned red.

Jin Wang's heart was tickled by his words.

Ye Shu was always particularly sensitive when there were outsiders around. He was even easier to bully than usual.

Jin Wang was no longer in the mood to tangle with Xiao Huan. He called out, "Guards."

The door was immediately pushed open and two imperial bodyguards walked in.

Jin Wang ordered, "Take him away and watch over him."

Xiao Huan didn't want to stay here any longer.

As a martial artist, his hearing was extremely good. He could clearly hear what the two were saying in low voices.

Xiao Huan's tongue was sore. He glared fiercely at Jin Wang and coldly said, "I can walk on my own!"

The door was closed again. Jin Wang picked him up in his arms and carried him to the bed. He leaned over and pressed himself against him.

Ye Shu didn't have time to care about where Jin Wang had taken all the servants in his residence. He subconsciously hooked his arm around the back of Jin Wang's neck. Soon, his entire body was trembling.

Jin Wang supported himself with one hand by Ye Shu's side. His other hand slowly moved down.

But at this critical moment, his movements stopped. "You didn't come to the palace tonight because you wanted to see Xiao Huan?"

Ye Shu was completely teased by him and almost bit his tongue. "No, that's not it."

Jin Wang gazed at the person beneath him. The evil thoughts in his heart were satisfied like never before.

The eyes of the person in his arms were red and misty. He seemed to want to pull on Jin Wang's hand but gave up in grievance.

His fingers opened and curled up impatiently. He helplessly grasped the quilt beneath him.

It was so soft that it didn't look good.

Who would have thought that this was the high and mighty Prime Minister who was the head of all the officials during the day?

Jin Wang originally thought that Ye Shu had never truly been the Prime Minister before. Perhaps he would encounter some trouble in the beginning and be a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't expect that this person's ability to adapt was beyond Jin Wang's imagination.

But the more this person appeared to be at ease outside, the more Jin Wang wanted to see him sink into lust.

"Jin … Jin Wang …" Ye Shu finally couldn't take it anymore and called out to him in a low voice.

His voice was very suppressed. It was soft and hoarse, like a kitten gently scratching.

Jin Wang suddenly came back to his senses. He softly said, "Sorry," and finally let him go.

A moment later, Ye Shu curled up on the bed. His eyes were red as he complained, "… You only know how to bully people."

"I see that you still haven't had your fill."

Jin Wang casually threw the silk handkerchief that he had just finished wiping on the floor. "No matter, it's too late today. We'll continue tomorrow."

Ye Shu was stunned. "You're still doing it tomorrow?"

"Do you think that's the end of today?"

Jin Wang raised his eyebrows. "You left me in the palace and secretly met with another man in your residence. Ye Xiang, do you think this punishment is enough?"

Ye Shu buried half his face in the quilt and didn't answer.

"Tomorrow is your rest day. I'll allow you to sleep until the afternoon."

Jin Wang lay down beside Ye Shu and lowered his head to kiss his forehead. "When you wake up, come to the imperial study to see me. Remember to wear your court robes."

.

When Ye Shu woke up the next day, Jin Wang was no longer in the residence.

It was already close to noon. Ye Shu didn't ask anyone to prepare a meal. He directly changed into his court robes and took a sedan chair to the palace.

He couldn't think of any other way that Jin Wang could punish him.

He was still pregnant. At worst, he would just be slept with. He didn't believe that Jin Wang had any other tricks up his sleeves that he hadn't experienced before.

But …

Ye Shu looked at the immaculate black court robes she was wearing and felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

Changlu's court robes weren't thick and heavy. Only the back and collar were embroidered with complicated patterns. A jade belt was tied around his waist and his hair was tied up in a crown. It looked dignified and solemn.

But who would have known that he wasn't dressed like this to discuss official business with the monarch. Instead …

Ye Shu pulled the fox fur cloak tightly around him to cover his bulging abdomen.

The dog emperor still knew how to play.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Jin Wang was in the middle of a discussion with someone.

After being notified by an attendant, Ye Shu entered the main hall.

Inside the imperial study stood a tall young man wearing light armor.

Ye Shu bowed to Jin Wang, then looked at the man. "Left General."

The man hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Ye Xiang."

This man was called Zuo Yan. He had met Ye Shu once before.

Back then, Ye Shu had planned to escape during the imperial family's ancestral worship ceremony. He had coincidentally met this man and the Taichang Temple official patrolling outside.

At that time, he still didn't know how to control Xin Xiang and was caught red-handed. Afterwards, he was presented back to Jin Wang as a beauty.

It had been a long time since that incident. Ye Shu didn't care about that small grudge anymore. Moreover, the latter didn't know anything about it.

He nodded to Zuo Yan and asked, "Left General and His Majesty are in the middle of a discussion?"

"It's West Xia," Jin Wang replied. "West Xia has been invading our borders repeatedly. I'm afraid that war will break out soon."

Jin Wang gestured for Gao Jin to take a seat. After Ye Shu sat down, he asked, "What do you think?"

Ye Shu said, "If it's a battle, then let's fight. Are you going to be a coward?"

Jin Wang's lips curled up in satisfaction.

Zuo Yan said, "West Xia people have been nomads for generations. They are brave and good at fighting. If we rashly send out troops, I'm afraid …"

"Left General, you worry too much. They have an army, but so does Zhanglu," Ye Shu gently interrupted. "Moreover, winning a war doesn't depend on martial strength, but brains."

If it was just West Xia, Jin Wang alone was more than enough to deal with it. Moreover, he had Ye Shu's help now.

The young prime minister leisurely leaned back in his chair, his eyes flashing with a confident smile.

Zuo Yan originally wanted to say something, but the moment he saw this smile, his mind suddenly went blank.

He stared at Ye Shu in a daze, but then he heard Jin Wang suddenly say, "I still have important matters to discuss with Ye Xiang. Let's end it here for today."

"But …" Zuo Yan opened his mouth, but he saw that His Majesty's chamberlain had already come over to open the door for him.

He could only bow and leave.

Before he left, Zuo Yan couldn't help but glance into the hall.

His Majesty had already walked to Ye Xiang's side through the unclosed door, as if he was about to lean over and say something to him.

After the door closed, Jin Wang pinched Ye Shu's cheek. "Seductive spirit."

Ye Shu immediately retorted, "Vinegar jar."

Jin Wang was expressionless. "Xiao Huan."

Ye Shu immediately cowered. "I was wrong."

"It's good that you know you were wrong." Jin Wang smiled with satisfaction and led Ye Shu to the side hall.

There was a warm room next to the imperial study for His Majesty to rest in.

There was a soft couch in the room, and a wooden brocade box was placed on a small table next to the couch.

It looked … a little familiar?

Ye Shu remembered where the box had come from, and his expression instantly changed.
