Marked by a Tyrant After Transmigrated

Chapter 36

The young man beside him, pale and with downcast eyes, said nothing.

Jin Wang stared at him without prompting.

Whether this defense map was true or not, he had his own way to put it to the proof and confirm if what Yu Yan said was really what it was.

But he wanted to hear Ye Shu's explanation more than anything else.

In his view, Ye Shu's move was too daring and dangerous. Being in long-term contact with a foreign prince, one careless move could lead to a fatal disaster. However, he could also see that he had nothing to lose yet everything to gain from the arrangement.

Ye Shu didn't betray him, not on this matter at least.

Jin Wang breathed a silent sigh of relief, then asked again patiently and softly, "Can't say it?"

Ye Shu didn't respond.

He didn't know how he should explain it.

Making a deal with Yu Yan and persuading him to surrender to them wasn't a bad thing at all, but rather a great feat. Of course, he could directly admit that he did it, but he couldn't explain the following three years, couldn't explain why the original owner still ended up betraying him.

Ye Shu hesitated for a long time, then he slowly said, "...I can't say it for the time being."

Jin Wang asked, "When can you say it?"

"Ju...Just not now," Ye Shu involuntarily tightened his sleeves and hardly dared to look at Jin Wang. "Your Majesty, give me some more time. Wait for me... When the time is right, I will definitely tell Your Majesty."

Jin Wang was silent for a moment, then he said, "Alright, I believe you."

Ye Shu looked up and saw that the latter's eyes showed gentleness, without a hint of accusation. He brushed away the sweet cake crumbs from the corner of Ye Shu's lips and softly said, "Anyways, I feel quite elated."

You're not here to harm me, I feel quite elated.

Ye Shu's heart gently quivered, suddenly feeling somewhat touched.

This man, as usual, was so easily satisfied.

"But..." Jin Wang's tone shifted suddenly, his eyes slightly narrowed. "You've been in contact with him for many years?"

Ye Shu, "......"

Jin Wang mused, "Since before Gu ascended to the throne?"

Ye Shu, "......"

Jin Wang, "And you also made an appointment to meet him in Chang Lu."

So this man hadn't yet finished!!

Ye Shu coughed lightly and averted his eyes. "I-I'm tired. Let's go back."

Jin Wang smiled. "Okay."

Jin Wang called the servant to bring the imperial palanquin. Ye Shu was about to get up, but was pulled to stop by Jin Wang.

Jin Wang bent down with his back to him. "Come up."

Ye Shu was taken aback.

Jin Wang looked back at him, urging, "Hurry up."

Jin Wang then carried Ye Shu out of the pavilion.

Ye Shu leaned on Jin Wang's shoulder and tilted his head to look at Jin Wang's profile, "How come Your Majesty's so good to me today?"

"Was I bad to you in the past?" Jin Wang seemed to be in a good mood, chuckling, "You deserve to be rewarded for helping Gu so much."
