It was not until the sky gradually dimmed that Chang Yuan left the imperial study.

The door of the imperial study opened and closed, and the chief personal attendant, Gao Jin, advanced into the hall, only to see Jin Wang leaning back in the dragon chair, exhaustedly pressing the space between his brows.

Gao Jin walked over. "Your Majesty is tired. Shall this humble servant press it for you?"

"Don't mind it," Jin Wang waved his hand and asked, "What is Minister Ye doing now?"

"Minister Ye is still asleep."

The exhausted look on Jin Wang's face somewhat dissipated, and a trace of warmth spread across his eyes. "Sleeping the entire afternoon—this guy..."

Gao Jin tentatively said, "This humble servant saw that Minister Ye was not in good spirits these days. Perhaps he......was overworked and......harmed his body."

Jin Wang swept him a glance. "Are you saying that Gu does not know moderation?"

"I don't dare."

The chief personal attendant bowed, but the phrase, "Don't you know it in your heart?", was written all over his face.

Jin Wang was pissed. "These past several days, Gu has simply—"

......simply not touched him.

After that fizzled out service, Jin Wang had euphemistically asked the imperial physician.

The imperial physician had said, "A Qianjun's faith incense is incorporeal, but it can have a great impact on the Kunjun, an impact which is far more powerful than ordinary distilled spirits. Additionally, the suppressant taken by Minister Ye suppresses his faith incense, making it impossible for him to resonate with his Qianjun."

"To be able to smell and react, but unable to absorb, that was the cause of his drunkenness."

To put it briefly, unless Ye Shu stopped taking that pill, it would be impossible for him to face Jin Wang's faith incense soberly.

Of course, there was another way to painstakingly control a Qianjun's faith incense from being released whenever they were swept away by

clouds and rain.

However......it was even worse than abstinence.

Jin Wang neither wanted to misuse himself, nor did he want to fiddle with an unconscious person. Thus the past few days, intimacy between him and Ye Shu was there, but not once did they really go any further.

Jin Wang felt dejected at the thought of all this. Alas, there were always people who threw themselves

in front of the muzzle of a gun.

Gao Jin had been following Jin Wang for many years and knew best how to observe his speech and behaviour. Seeing that His Majesty was already about to flare, he hurriedly said, "This humble servant has just asked the imperial kitchen to make Minister Ye's favorite pastry. Evening meal time has arrived. Does Your Majesty want to wake Minister Ye up to dine?"

Sure enough, at the mention of Ye Shu, Jin Wang's complexion eased up quite a bit, and he said, "Gu will personally go and call him. Prepare the meals."

Ye Shu couldn't stand the light whenever he slept, therefore the bedchamber was lit only with a dark glazed lamp. When Jin Wang entered, the young man was still sunken in the soft bed, sleeping soundly.

He had asked Chang Yuan a lot today. Every point of dissimilarity concerning Ye Shu in the past three years, every strange occurrence, every little thing; all matters, whether important or trivial.
