The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
After a while, Ye Shu said hesitantly: "You... how long have you been here?"
... how much have you heard again
Jin Wang suppressed his smile slightly: "Not long."
He paused, and then said, "It's just following you."
"..."
That's all heard.
Ye Shu felt a chill rushing up his spine, making him shiver all over.
Jin Wang was pretending to be drunk tonight, as for why, he probably wanted to test whether he would go with Xiao Huan. His previous worries were not wrong, this person had indeed seen that there was a problem between him and Xiao Huan.
Jin Wang stepped forward step by step, stretched out his hand to pull Ye Shu, but the latter took half a step back as if frightened.
His hand only hovered in the air for a moment, and he easily pulled Ye Shu over.
"Is it cold?" Jin Wang held his hand, "His palms are sweaty, afraid of being alone?"
Ye Shu's lips were pale and pursed slightly.
Jin Wang took Ye Shu into his arms with one hand, stroked his back lightly with his palms: "I'm not angry, don't be afraid."
Jin Wang leaned against Ye Shu's cold forehead, his eyes were gentle, and he smiled softly: "Little fool, you are willing to stay for Gu, and it's too late for Gu to be happy, so how can you be angry?"
Ye Shu looked panicked: "I..."
"Go back first, it's too cold outside." Jin Wang said.
He called someone to bring the imperial chariot and helped Ye Shu onto the chariot.
Ye Shu hadn't woken up from the fright just now, and his expression was in a trance. He didn't wake up until he entered the room and Jin Wang reached out to take off the fox fur on his body.
He was brought back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation by Jin Wang.
Jin Wang put his fox fur aside and said with a smile: "Just now I asked you if you would like to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but you have no objection, now you are not allowed to go back on your word."
The servant brought ginger soup for dispelling cold, Jin Wang took it, scooped up a spoonful to feed Ye Shu, but the latter avoided him: "I, I will do it myself."
Jinwang didn't object.
He waved away the palace servants in the hall, and the two sat down side by side on the couch.
Ye Shu held the ginger soup and drank it in small sips, turning his head to look at Jin Wang.
Jin Wang still couldn't see anything, but the breathless oppression around him had disappeared, and he seemed really lifeless.
Instead... a little bit more happy
Ye Shu asked: "If I really left with Xiao Huan just now, would you kill me?"
Jin Wang paused and said, "No."
"Then will you lock me up?"
Jin Wang put the soup bowl aside, thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know."
"Gu has been thinking tonight, if you really want to leave, whether Gu will keep you or not." Jin Wang lowered his eyes, his expression darkened slightly, "It's easy to keep people, but it's hard to keep people's hearts. Your heart is not here in Gu , even if you stay this time, you will always find a chance to leave in the future."
"So... Gu Today went somewhere alone."
He went there, just wanted an answer.
Ye Shu understood what he meant, and her voice suddenly became a little dry: "You... why are you doing this, if I really leave today..."
"That Gu will chase you back again." Jin Wang smiled and stroked Ye Shu's hair, "Xiao Huan thinks everything will be fine if he takes you to the fief, he underestimates Gu."
"What you want alone, never give up easily."
Looking into Ye Shu's eyes, Jin Wang said seriously, "You taught me this too."
Ye Shu's eyes were sore, he lowered his head: "...it's not me."
Jin Wang asked, "What did you say?"
"I said, it wasn't me." Ye Shu didn't dare to look at him, but his voice was soft but clear, "Jin Wang, what I told Xiao Huan today was not a lie, I am not the Ye Shu you know, I... I have been lying to you .”
Jin Wang's hand behind Ye Shu froze, and then he slowly retracted it.
Ye Shu couldn't stop his trembling hands, he took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady.
But he couldn't do it, he couldn't even express clearly.
Ye Shu spoke incoherently, he stumbled and told the time travel, the original book, his true identity, and the lies he had told.
After speaking, Ye Shu's voice trembled more and more: "... that's it, I'm not the Ye Shu you know, I don't know where the real Ye Shu has gone, I... I don't deserve your kindness to me .”
The hall was silent for a while.
Ye Shu didn't dare to turn his head to look at the expressions of the people around him, but he could feel that the eyes of the latter kept falling on him.
The time became very long in the silence, Ye Shu seemed to be slowly roasted in the fire, tormented, almost driven crazy by this feeling.
"Have you finished?" Jin Wang suddenly asked.
Ye Shu nodded slowly.
Jin Wang sighed, leaned over and opened his arms towards Ye Shu, as if he wanted to hug him.
Ye Shu stood up reflexively, avoiding his embrace.
Jin Wang raised his eyes, and his tone of voice couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger: "Why, don't you let me hug you?"
"I..." Ye Shu caught Jin Wang's gaze anxiously, but the latter's eyes were not sullen.
Jin Wang stretched his body, sat on the small couch, and said leisurely: "Did you say earlier that after confessing, let me handle it?"
Ye Shu nodded: "...um."
"Then come over?"
Ye Shu couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and hesitantly took half a step forward, then another half step, and was directly pulled into his arms by Jin Wang.
Jin Wang let Ye Shu sit on his lap, hugged him tightly from behind, and rested his head on his shoulder.
"In the days before, I wronged you." Jin Wang suddenly said softly.
Ye Shu was taken aback.
"You came to this strange world with no relatives, and even your life was threatened. Are you afraid?"
Ye Shu's eyes suddenly turned red.
Jin Wang said softly: "You obviously didn't do anything, but you are responsible for the things you didn't do, and you were bullied like that. I'm sorry, I wronged you."
This is the second time Jin Wang apologized to him.
But why
Isn't he the one who did something wrong? Why does this person have to apologize
Ye Shu's mind was in chaos, he stared blankly at Jin Wang, until the latter stroked Ye Shu's cheek pitifully with his fingertips: "Don't cry, Ah Shu, I'm alone here, don't cry."
Did he... cry
Before Ye Shu could think about it, a warm touch came from his eyelids.
Jinwang kisses away his tears.
Ye Shu cried even harder.
He tilted his head to avoid Jin Wang's kiss, and did not speak, tears fell silently like beads.
Jin Wang had nothing to do with him, he didn't dare to touch him again, he just stroked his back.
This soothing was very effective, and Ye Shu's trembling body gradually softened.
Jin Wang carried him to the back room, called for hot water, and wrung out the silk handkerchief to help him wipe his face.
Ye Shu turned his head to hide, but Jin Wang said, "Don't move around, you're already crying like a cat, rub it."
Ye Shu pursed her lips and stopped dodging.
Jin Wang helped him wipe away the tears on his face, then took a warm handkerchief again and covered Ye Shu's eyes, and hugged him tightly.
"You really can't cry anymore." Jin Wang sighed, "If you cry any more, Imperial Doctor Feng will blame Gu for not caring for you, making you angry all day while pregnant with the child."
Ye Shu gasped slightly, and asked in a low voice, "You...why are you..."
Why not surprised at all.
Jin Wang's feelings for the original owner are self-evident, and he should be very angry when he learns that he is an impostor. But instead of being annoyed, he even apologized to him, comforting him like this.
unless…
Ye Shu pushed away Jin Wang's hand, raised a pair of red eyes, and asked, "Did you... guess it a long time ago?"
Jin Wang was silent for a moment: "I can't guess your identity, but I generally know that there is something wrong with your identity."
"Why?"
Jin Wang said: "The day Xiao Huan entered the palace, I told you that we went to the south to deal with floods and passed through the fiefdom of Lord Huguo. You suggested that I make friends with him, remember?"
Ye Shu didn't answer, Jin Wang continued: "It is true that you suggested that I make friends with him, but the place is wrong. We have never been to the fiefdom, and I met Lord Huguo when he went to Beijing to celebrate the late emperor's birthday several years ago. .”
Ye Shu suddenly realized.
No wonder Xiao Huan kept saying that he wanted to take Ye Shu out of the capital instead of letting him stay in the fief.
They didn't meet each other in the fief at all.
From then on, Jin Wang knew that he was not the real Ye Shu.
Or earlier, he already had doubts in his heart.
Ye Shu curled her fingers tightly, and continued to ask: "Then why...why are you still so kind to me, I am obviously not..."
There was still a cry in his voice, which sounded very aggrieved.
Ye Shu knew that he shouldn't be like this now, he was the one who lied to Jin Wang's feelings first, no matter what hidden secrets, it's wrong to lie to others.
He should apologize to Jinwang and explain the truth to him, instead of crying hypocritically, let others comfort him instead.
But he couldn't help it.
The better Jinwang treats him, the more he can't help it.
Ye Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly, filled with water droplets, wanting to fall but not falling.
Jin Wang raised his head and looked into those red eyes: "Ashu, we have known each other for more than ten years."
"Being together day and night and supporting each other for more than ten years, do you think it's not enough for Gu to understand you?"
Ye Shu didn't understand: "What are you talking about..."
"I said, I don't believe that you are a fake." Jin Wang said seriously, "I don't believe that you were replaced by someone, and I don't believe that you are two people from that person in the past."
"You are the Ye Shu I know, not someone else."
Ye Shu even forgot to shed tears.
He said so much about his feelings, this person thought he was lying
How did this man's brain grow? ?
He sat up and said anxiously: "I really didn't lie to you, I can't..."
"Don't worry, it's not that you don't believe what you said." Jin Wang interrupted him and asked patiently, "You said you had memory loss when you were young?"
"… yes."
Jin Wang asked again: "You said that your legs were disabled when you were very young, but suddenly recovered one day."
"… Um."
Jin Wang smiled lightly: "Look, you have already told me the answer."
Ye Shu still didn't understand.
"If you don't mention this matter today, Gu will almost forget it." Jin Wang put his hands on Ye Shu's legs, and said softly, "When Gu and Ah Shu first met, his legs were not flexible, so it's not impossible. use, rather than not."
"He was seven or eight years old, but he acted like a toddler."
"He said that his legs were disabled when he was young, and they were cured not long ago."
"Later Gu left the cold palace with him and resumed his status as prince, and asked the imperial physician to examine him." Jin Wang looked at Ye Shu and said seriously, "His legs are very healthy, and there is no trace of previous illness."
Ye Shu was stunned.
He cried too much just now, and now his mind is in a mess, and he seems to have lost his ability to think. Ye Shu was stunned for a long time, and said in a daze, "The original owner was also disabled? So I wear it here because I resemble him? That... that's quite a coincidence."
"..."
Jin Wang's eyes suddenly became speechless.
"What's the matter with you, when you should be smart, you are not smart, and when you shouldn't be smart, you come up with ghost ideas one after another." Jin Wang was quite helpless, and gently pinched Ye Shu's side face, "We can obviously have another guess .”
"Is it possible...you are him."
