The Scum Shou's Survival Guide

Chapter 44 The Emperor He Is My Bamboo Horse

Ye Ming opened his eyes in a daze, turned over, yawned, and suddenly heard a scream from the side.

"Young master is awake! Young master is awake!"

"Hurry up and tell Madam, Master, the young master has woken up!"

When Ye Ming woke up, he was scared out of breath, he was chattered, and looked at the little maid in front of him silly.

【Ye Ming: I'm going home!Brother, why don't you remind me?Scared me! 】

【888: Didn't you expect that Li Zechen would let you go home?It’s just the difference between one day earlier and one day later. Need I remind you?And how interesting and exciting is it?It's also very realistic. 】

【Ye Ming: ...】

【888: I just like to see you like this, haha. 】

His system is absolutely broken!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Ming's room was full of people. He looked at his parents, brothers, sisters and servants, showing a blank and innocent expression, as if he just woke up from a sleep.

Mrs. Qi's expression was the most excited, tears came down on the spot, she hugged Ye Ming and said, "My son, you finally woke up..."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Ye Ming felt a little guilty in his heart, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine."

Madam Qi wiped her red eyes, "You have been in a coma for several months, we all thought...we all thought you..."

Ye Ming stretched out his hand and gently hugged her, feeling saddened by the infection, "I'm sorry for making you worry, it's because my son is unfilial."

Grand Tutor Qi also looked excited, he sighed, and said, "It's good when I wake up, it's good when I wake up."

Soon another doctor came to check Ye Ming's pulse, and said that everything was fine for him, and he would be fine when he woke up.

After confirming that Ye Ming was fine, the crowd retreated out again. Mrs. Qi repeatedly told Ye Ming to rest well and not to think about other things, so she reluctantly left.

Ye Ming respectfully sent his mother away, and finally said: "Zizhu stay here, everyone else can go out."

Zizhu waited for the other servants to go out, stayed alone and closed the door, and said respectfully as usual: "What do you want, Master?"

Ye Ming looked at her with a complicated expression.

From the time when Li Zechen took him home, he knew that Zi Zhu was someone Li Zechen stayed by his side. She obviously knew that her identity had been exposed, but she still kept her face unchanged, as if she was the same as before. .

Ye Ming's voice was slightly cold: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

As her personal servant girl, she turned out to be a spy planted by others, even if she had no malicious intentions, she could not allow this kind of behavior.

Zi Zhu's voice was steady and respectful, "The servant is ordered by the emperor to protect the young master. In front of the young master, the slave is just your maid and will never do harm to the young master."

Ye Ming said: "But your master is not me."

Zizhu knelt down and said: "If the young master doesn't want the slaves, the slaves will leave now."

Ye Ming really didn't want to keep Li Zechen's eyeliner by his side, it would make him feel extremely uncomfortable, but seeing Zi Zhu like this, he thought about it and asked, "Where will you go after you leave here?"

Zizhu said: "The servant girl is not doing well, so I can only go back to receive the punishment. The dead who are exposed and expelled should be executed."

She didn't say a single pleading word, and her expression hardly changed, as if it was no big deal, she had already put life and death aside.

Ye Ming's expression changed.

Zizhu has been by his side for many years, she has always been stable and reliable, and she is someone he trusts very much, so she was so angry after knowing her identity.I can drive her away, but if I let her die or be severely punished because of this, I can't bear it... After all, I have feelings, and I have never hurt him.

Ye Ming's eyes struggled, and after a while he finally said, "Forget it, you stay."

If Li Zechen really wants to continue to persecute him, he doesn't need to use this maid at all, so it doesn't matter whether she stays or not, what matters is Li Zechen's attitude.

A look of surprise and surprise finally appeared in Zizhu's eyes, as if she hadn't expected Ye Ming to be willing to keep her, she kowtowed heavily, and said gratefully from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you, young master."

Ye Ming said a little tiredly: "Go out, I'm going to rest."

..............................

The next day Ye Ming woke up early to meet his mother.

Mrs. Qi was very happy to see Ye Ming coming over, she held his hand and didn't let go, she was worried last night, lest something might happen to her son when she woke up, now seeing him doing well, she finally let go of her heart.

Ye Ming thought for a while, and asked: "Mom... I have been in a coma for such a long time, my cousin has complaints." He said with a very guilty expression, after all, he was planning to marry his cousin at the beginning, but Who knows in the blink of an eye...

Madam Qi's complexion changed when she heard this, and said hesitantly: "Don't worry, there won't be anything to say..."

Ye Ming said repeatedly: "Why don't you worry? My boy is really sorry for my cousin, and I plan to choose a day to go to the Zuo Mansion to plead guilty."

Mrs. Qi pressed his hand and patted it, sighed, and said in a low voice: "My child... now there is no Zuofu, and there is no marriage, so you don't have to go."

Ye Ming was very puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Mrs. Qi said: "A few months ago, the former prince tried to force the palace to rebel and was killed by the emperor. Those who helped him ransacked their homes, and those who were convicted were convicted. The Zuo family was also involved in this matter... This is a conspiracy. The great crime of rebellion... Hey, speaking of it, it's a blessing that we didn't get married at the beginning, otherwise our family would also be involved now."

She said with a look of fear on her face, although she was very sad about what happened to the Zuo family, but this kind of crime is absolutely unacceptable.

Ye Ming finally turned pale with shock, of course he knew about the Prince's rebellion, but he did not expect that the members of the Zuo family were also the Prince's, and he said in shock: "This, is this true?"

Mrs. Qi nodded, "There is still turmoil outside, you have been sleeping these days so you don't know... After all, our family also had a marriage contract with the Zuo family, and they were close before. Although this time it was not involved by luck, we will go out to talk and act in the future You still need to be careful and don’t let the conversation go.”

Ye Ming doesn't know this truth, even if their family is innocent, if someone with a heart uses this matter to attack, it will cause harm to his father's career and the safety of his family.

Although Ye Ming knew that Li Zechen would not harm their family, it was right to be cautious in words and deeds.

What he is most worried about now is Zuo Yifang. He believes that Yifang is innocent, but after all, he is implicated by his family...

Mrs. Qi knew that her son had feelings for his cousin, and she was soft-hearted and kind-hearted, so she couldn't bear to persuade: "Don't think too much, we can't interfere with this kind of thing, it's fate."

Ye Ming's expression was complicated, he seemed to be in a state of confusion, and he left after sitting for a while.

【888: You're acting in a complete set. 】

【Ye Ming: Of course, after all, it is reasonable to say that I don't know what happened outside during this time, wouldn't it be too fake if I act like I know everything?Of course, this kind of simple mistake cannot be made, and I still have Li Zechen's eyeliner by my side. 】

[Ye Ming: He has to let go, he must read my messages every day to comfort his missing ^_^]

【888:...】

………………

Ye Ming rested at home for a while, then returned to the Hanlin Academy, and the days returned to calm, except for not being married, it was no different from before.

Seeing that Ye Ming finally woke up, his colleagues and friends invited him out to eat, drink, and gossip.However, Ye Ming showed lack of interest in these things, he was absent-minded, and when others saw him like this, they would tease him that it was a bad luck in his life. Not to mention that he had a strange disease, his good fiancée became a sinner like this.

Every time Ye Ming heard this, his expression remained silent, as if he was indeed a little sad.

After another period of time, at least on the surface, the turmoil subsided.

And Ye Ming didn't even have the chance to meet Li Zechen, his identity is not qualified to go to court, even though they are in the same city, but outside that palace, it's like a world apart.

[888: You can't even see Li Zechen's face now, but you don't seem to be in a hurry? 】

【Ye Ming: There's no need to worry, it's easy for me to see him, don't forget that his people are still by my side.As long as I want to see him, he will come within a few minutes if I give a word. He is just afraid of my embarrassment, so he just resisted not coming to see me. 】

【888: But Mr. Bai Lianhua, are you ashamed to send a message to tell him to come over? 】

【Ye Ming: Don't worry, he will come even if I don't tell you~】

[Ye Ming: I don't think he can bear it for long, he can still be a friend if he can't be a lover^_^]

Mrs. Qi would go to Hanshui Temple to offer incense every month, and Ye Ming would occasionally accompany her there.

He had nothing to do during this time, so he offered to go with Mrs. Qi. Mrs. Qi was very happy to have her son with him, and he also planned to talk to other wives about the blind date. The group set off early in the morning.

When everyone arrived at Hanshui Temple, Mrs. Qi and other female relatives went to the other side to offer incense, while Ye Ming stayed in the courtyard on the other side.

Although there are not many people at this time on weekdays, it is extremely deserted today.

Ye Ming walked in the plum forest, but he didn't see anyone. He knew that his mother would not be able to come out for a while, so he simply went out for a walk to see the scenery.This Hanshui Temple is located on the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, with beautiful scenery. Many literati and poets have written inscriptions and poems here.

When Li Zechen was not the emperor before, he also came with him.

As he walked deeper and deeper, he vaguely saw a figure in black clothes in front of him. Ye Ming thought it was another pilgrim, but who knew that person turned around and looked at him with deep eyes, but it was actually Li Zechen!

Ye Ming's footsteps stopped suddenly, and the expression on his face became complicated.

Li Zechen listened to his subordinates report Ye Ming's news every day, detailing everything, resisting the urge to see him.Until today, when I heard that he was coming to Hanshui Temple, I finally couldn't resist the impulse and came here anyway.

He just wanted to see him.

Ye Ming stood where he was, watching Li Zechen approaching step by step. Although it was not long since we parted, for some reason there was a feeling of a world away.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Li Zechen had already walked in front of him, Ye Ming seemed to have just woken up, and was about to kneel down to salute, but Li Zechen grabbed his arm.

Li Zechen bent down to support Ye Ming, and touched his arm through his clothes, as if some kind of impulse came from the contact position. The huge suction made him want to hug this person directly into his arms, but he still Restrained.

If he continued to indulge his mood, it would only break the peace he had achieved so far, which he didn't want to see.

"There's no one else here, Wen Qing doesn't have to worry, just pretend I'm not the emperor." Li Zechen let go of his hand slowly, and smiled slightly: "We used to have a good time with wine and look for plums in the snow, so... just treat it as good as before. ?"

Ye Ming was silent for a while, some things don't mean that you can go back to the past, but since this is the emperor's order, he respectfully said: "I obey."

Li Zechen's smile is a bit shy, he doesn't understand this truth, but the only thing he can hope for now is to get along with this person as before, at least to be a friend... After so much, even getting along like this is no longer enough became a luxury.

He whispered to Ye Ming, "Come with me for a drink."

Li Zechen turned around and sat down at a stone table with a jug of wine on it. He smiled lightly: "It's been a long time since we sat down and drank together like this."

Ye Ming sat down, he smiled, and lowered his eyes to hide the look of nostalgia in his eyes.

They used to be very good friends, they could talk almost everything, they could be trusted and relied on... But in the end, everything changed from the day Li Zechen became the emperor.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, just drinking one glass after another.

The wine was relatively light, but after drinking a few cups, Ye Ming's cheeks and ears still had a slight blush.

Li Zechen looked at the person in front of him obsessively, reluctant to get up, but there is always a banquet in the world, and he cannot stay after all.Li Zechen's jaw was tense, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm leaving, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Ye Ming pursed his lips, a look of struggle and hesitation appeared in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

During this period of time, he was worried every day, and he really wanted to beg Li Zechen for something, but this request was really too much, how could he take advantage of Li Zechen's feelings for him?

Li Zechen smiled, he always paid attention to Ye Ming, how could he not know what he was worried about?He said directly: "If Wenqing is worried about Zuo Yifang, I have already pardoned her."

Ye Ming suddenly raised his eyes, looking at him in disbelief.

Although Li Zechen said these words with a smile, no one knew what painful decision he had made for this.As long as you are happy, all the pain and unwillingness will be borne by me alone.

Li Zechen said slowly: "Although she is the daughter of a guilty minister, her identity is not suitable for you, but I can change her appearance and give you a marriage in a glorious manner. Are you willing?"

Ye Ming was finally shocked, his lips trembled: "Your Majesty..."

Li Zechen stared into his eyes, "I owe you too much... As long as you want anything, you can tell me as much as you want, and I will satisfy you."

Ye Ming's expression was moved, even though Li Zechen had always been kind to him and responsive to every request, but before that time he had to stay by his side.But now... he can even say such words as bestowing a marriage...

At this moment, he was convinced that Li Zechen had really let go, and the last trace of uneasiness in his heart completely dissipated.

It was replaced by guilt towards Li Zechen... In the end, I have failed Jun En.He is the emperor, whoever wants to live will live, and whoever wants to die will die, why bother to do this.

He didn't have to be so nice to himself.

Ye Ming was silent for a long time, and said, "No need...it's enough to know that she's okay."

After going through so much, how can he marry the woman he loves without any psychological burden?After all, I am not the same person I used to be. All the pains that those things brought to him can be erased just by erasing them.

He and Li Zechen can't go back to the past, and neither can Zuo Yifang.

Everything is different.

Li Zechen was silent for a while, and said: "If you change your mind, you can ask Zizhu to tell me."

Then he turned and left.

I'm sorry, although I can't make up for past mistakes, I still want to try my best to do something for you...

In fact, I should have understood this truth earlier, and understood that love should not be plundering and possessing, but just looking at you well, but I did something wrong because of my paranoid obsession.

This is the thing I regret most in my life.

[Ding, Li Zechen's blackening value -5, the current blackening value is 5]

Ye Ming looked at Li Zechen's leaving back, and it took a while before he left here.

Not long after, Mrs. Qi also came out, and the two returned home together.

Although the marriage with the Zuo family was abandoned, but now that Ye Ming has woken up, he should still marry a wife and have children, so Mrs. Qi was busy with various social occasions again, wanting to choose another suitable marriage.

Ye Ming showed neither objection nor enthusiasm for this, and obeyed his parents' arrangement in everything.

………………

[Ye Ming: Poor parents in the world, even if you go back to ancient times, you can't escape the end of being urged to marry, hey...]

【888: Then what are you going to do? 】

[Ye Ming: Cold salad, anyway, it won't make a knot hee hee. 】

[Ye Ming: Our emperor is really a very restrained and persistent person. Once a decision is made, he will implement it. He really looks like letting go. To be honest, if it wasn't for the favorability, I would have thought He let it go. 】

【888: Isn't this what you hoped for?After doing it for so long, I wanted him to let go. 】

【Ye Ming: It's right to let go, but what if we don't meet each other?No matter how powerful I am, I can't brush his blackening value across an imperial palace, sorry jpg]

【888: Hehe. 】

【Ye Ming: There's no other way. At this time, let him know how terrifying it is for a woman to turn black! 】

【888:? ? ? 】

[Ye Ming: Brother, you don't know what a terrifying existence human women are with explosive fighting power!In fact, the worst thing the emperor did was not to marry me by force, but to marry a group of women but not sleep with them!Although ancient concubines are also considered a profession, even if they don't want to be favored by the emperor, they can usually sleep with the emperor once in a while and give birth to a child to continue the palace fight, right?Li Zechen doesn't even give them this little hope, the boring boudoir and resentful wife are very scary! 】

【888: Are you referring to Concubine Liang?She does hate you. 】

[Ye Ming: Back then when I was in the palace, she hated me so much that she had nothing to do with me. Now that I’m out of the palace, Li Zechen still doesn’t look at them. Being rejected by Li Zechen, how could she bear it?As long as I let her know my identity, she will take revenge on me at all costs.If something happens to me, won't the emperor have a chance to see me again? ^_^]

[888: ...] This hot chicken is about to die again.

【888: How are you going to let her know? 】

【Ye Ming: I don't need to do anything.Back then when I was accompanying the prince, I often went to and from the imperial palace. Although I didn't enter the harem at that time, there were always court ladies and eunuchs who knew me. The concubine Liang has many eyes and ears, and sooner or later she will know my identity.Although Li Zechen is in control of the palace and won't give them a chance to reveal their secrets, but if a woman goes crazy, it's hard to tell... If necessary, brother, you can help her. 】

【888: Are you sure you want to do this?There is no turning back when you open the bow. 】

【Ye Ming: There are no eternal secrets in this world~】

【888:...】

Ye Ming lived his life step by step, he was not in a hurry, and after a long time, he heard that Concubine Liang went home to visit her relatives.

Rumors spread quietly among the rich and noble ladies.

Finally, one day Mrs. Qi came home, and as soon as she entered the house, she slapped the table angrily, and said angrily, "Mrs. He is really a deceit! But a mere wife of the fifth grade, dare to talk to me like that!"

Mrs. Qi has always been a kind person, she never flatters her superiors and tramples her inferiors, even she treats beggars with a pleasant face, it can be seen that she is really ruthless to say such words. Ye Ming happened to be at home, so he poured her a cup of tea with concern, and persuaded her Said: "Mother, don't worry, let's have a cup of tea."

Mrs. Qi took the tea and took a deep breath, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she said: "I think there is a third girl in her family who is of a suitable age, and I heard that she is very virtuous and gentle, so I have a few more words with her. It’s not bad if it’s suitable, after all, it doesn’t matter if you have a low family background, the key is your character... In the end, guess what she said? She said that you are the emperor’s favorite person, and you can go to the dragon bed. Neither she nor her daughter can climb high. Get up! What are you talking about!"

She slapped the teacup on the table angrily, and spilled all the tea, her chest heaving uncontrollably, "It's ridiculous! How could you be so humiliated!"

As soon as Mrs. Qi turned her head, she saw Ye Ming standing there, his face was pale, his body was on the verge of falling, his nervous expression changed, he couldn't even care about his anger, and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that you are not healthy?" Are you comfortable?"
