Home/ There’s A Beauty / Chapter 101 (Part 1)
You Shu immediately accepted his master’s explanation, but on second thought, he felt that something was wrong. He asked in confusion, “I fell into the dung pit, so why is it that only my head and face are dirty?”
Meng Changye paused for a moment, and just as he was racking his brains to think about how to evade the question, he heard the other party say, “Yes, I must have fallen into it upside down, that’s why only my head and face were dirty. No wonder you pushed me into the water just now, it turns out you were helping me clean. Thank you!”
Facing the young man’s clear and grateful eyes, no matter how cruel and ruthless Meng Changye was, he felt a bit uncomfortable and even found it funny. He hadn’t said anything yet, but this person had already filled in all the details, thinking the best of everything. It’s really innocent. Even though he knew that this might be a deliberate trick of Emperor Chun to escape by pretending to be crazy and stupid, he still couldn’t harden his heart.
You Shu was completely unaware of his master’s struggle, and upon learning that the other party was not tormenting him, his gloomy heart instantly brightened. He was about to chat with him again to increase his favorability, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he smelled a foul smell and immediately began to vomit.
Could it be that he drank a few mouthfuls of feces when he fell into the dung pit? Thinking of this, he vomited even more fiercely, and a stream of sour water gushed out of his throat, splashing into the bushes.
Meng Changye stepped back reflexively, and just as he was about to pinch his nose, he found that what the other person vomited this time was just ordinary bile, without the pungent stench from before. What the hell is going on? Could it be that his eyes became clear, and his internal organs also became as clean as before?
While thinking, You Shu had already regained his composure and was digging into the bushes for a long time. Finally, he dug out a few chameleon plants, washed off the mud and sand with river water, and then stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing five or six in a row, he blew a breath into his palm and smelled it, and finally there was no bad odor.
“General, I’m done washing, we can set off.” You Shu’s cheeks turned red, and he was at a loss after making such a ugly scene in front of his master.
Meng Changye held him under his arm and slowly climbed up the official road, asking casually, “How do you know about the chameleon plants? I thought you pampered royals didn’t even know what cabbage and radish looked like.”
Being held upside down like this, You Shu’s head was slightly congested. He fluttered his limbs like a puppy and answered in a muffled voice, “General, put me down, I can walk by myself. As long as it’s something edible, I can recognise it. I’m not the kind of fool you think I am.”
He originally wanted to flaunt himself, but accidentally ended up poking Meng Changye’s heart and lungs, causing him to sneer and slap his elastic butt hard, “You are not the kind of fool I thought you were? Then tell me, how did the Jin Kingdom perish? How did the people rebel? How did the world become so chaotic?”
You Shu wanted to know the answer more than anyone else. If it were him in the past, he would at most only be able to do scientific research in the laboratory, not to mention govern a country. But after accompanying his master for four generations, he has learned a lot of skills. He dare not say that he has the ability to unify the world, but there is absolutely no problem in making the Jin Kingdom a peaceful and prosperous era.
However, there seems to be a heaven and a hell separating reality and ideals. Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, the people have rebelled, and the world is in chaos. All of this stems from the incompetence of Emperor Chun. You Shu thought hard, but still couldn’t retrieve those lost memories, but this body is clearly his own. He was extremely worried, but dared not show it. He said tentatively, “General, if I told you that I had no idea what you said, would you believe it? The day you slapped me, I just woke up and had no memories from before.”
Meng Changye’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t answer. He only put him down when he reached the official road and ordered, “Pick a horse to ride, we still have to hurry.”
“Your Majesty, come and ride this horse. This one is female and more docile. I will sit behind to protect you from falling.” The eunuch hurried to meet him.
You Shu wasn’t picky either. He stepped on the stirrups and got on the horse, then fell off, letting out a mournful cry.
It hurts so much! The inner thighs hurt as if there was a raging fire burning fiercely, and when the eyes turned black, the crackling sound of flesh exploding could be heard.
“I thought he was obedient just now, but he started acting up again in the blink of an eye.” Liu Chuanshan sneered and stepped forward, wanting to give the dog emperor a kick to let him know how powerful he is. However, the general grabbed his arm with great force, almost making him scream out in pain.
“The inner sides of his legs are worn out, he is not pretending.” Meng Changye pulled Liu Chuanshan away and stepped forward to check.
Covering his crotch, You Shu groaned in pain, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously. This body is too delicate, like a piece of tofu. A gentle touch can cause it to get injured, and the pain is very strong. It was clearly not like this before.
Seeing his master’s eyebrows furrowed in impatience, he struggled to get up and gasped for air while assuring, “It hurts too much, let me just take a breath. I’ll get on the horse right now.” He stepped on the stirrups and tried to climb the horse.
Meng Changye reached out and grabbed the young man from mid-air into his arms. His tone was fierce, but his eyes showed a hint of softness and helplessness. “Forget it, you can’t ride a horse like this. If you fall off the horse and break your leg, it will only delay our journey.”
Putting the man sideways on his horse’s back, he protected him in his arms, then waved his hand and shouted, “Let’s go!” Two thousand elite soldiers responded in unison and gradually faded away in the dust.
Sitting sideways, the thighs won’t rub against the saddle, and it was indeed much more comfortable. You Shu let out a long breath and habitually drilled into his master’s arms. He also consciously lifted half of his collar and covered his mouth and nose to avoid the invasion of cold wind and sand. His one hand went around and hugged the master’s thin waist tightly.
Isn’t this posture too natural? Meng Changye raised his eyebrows, intending to make the horse cross a ditch to startle him, but he saw that the other person’s eyelids were half-closed, as if he was very tired, and his heart softened inexplicably. And to be honest, he quite liked this person to curl up into a small ball and drill into his arms, like a puppy acting coquettishly with his master, looking very well-behaved and cute.
But what exactly is going on between him and Emperor Chun? Why are they so different? Thinking of this, Meng Changye asked casually, “Do you know where the Empress Dowager is now?”
Huh? Do I still have a mother? You Shu lost all sleepiness and said in confusion, “I really don’t remember. I only woke up when you slapped me in the face, and then we got on the road. Didn’t you find the Empress Dowager in the palace? Maybe she has already escaped.”
Empress Dowager clearly hanged herself in Cining Palace, and Emperor Chun saw it with his own eyes. So how could he not know? This person is either a different individual from Emperor Chun, or he is just pretending to be crazy and stupid, trying to escape when he relaxes his vigilance. It has to be said that he really grasped Meng Changye’s soft spot. His appearance is completely in line with Meng Changye’s wishes, as if he walked out of his beautiful and vague dreams.
If he doesn’t turn back into that violent and stupid Emperor Chun, even if it’s just pretending, Meng Changye is willing to keep him and provide him with delicious food and drink, as long as he is willing to pretend for the rest of his life.
Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, the master obviously didn’t believe him, and You Shu felt a bit frustrated. He then remembered the scar on his master’s face and quickly grabbed his sleeve, “How did you get the scar on your face?”
Meng Changye never talked about this matter with anyone, but for some reason, under the young man’s eager gaze, he couldn’t help but confide, “I was an orphan, wandering on the streets since I was a child, holding a broken bowl and following other beggars to beg for food. You don’t know, but beggars have their own territory, if you cross the border, there will be a fight. That year, my hometown was hit by a disaster, and there were more and more beggars on the street. A landlord was giving out porridge on the roadside. In order to grab the porridge, everyone was anxious and red-eyed. Somehow, a fight broke out. I was young and weak, and I don’t know who pulled me over to block the knife, leaving this scar. “
You Shu’s eyes turned red upon hearing this, and he realized that if it weren’t for him, his master wouldn’t have to suffer these hardships. His master is the Emperor Star, who should have sat high on the temple to accept the worship of the people, or even residing in the heavenly palace, overlooking the ever-changing world. It was he who dragged him into the mud and turned him into an ordinary person struggling in the mortal world.
For a while, he felt both heartbroken and guilty, choking with sobs and unable to speak.
Meng Changye found that his chest had become wet and warm at some point. He lowered his eyes to look and laughed softly, “What’s there to cry about? It’s all over. Everyone thought that this scar is left from fighting on the battlefield, and they are very respectful of me. My brothers were all bandits who joined me. If it weren’t for the scar on my face that made them think I was a ruthless character who killed people like flies, I really wouldn’t have been able to control the situation. Speaking of it, it could be considered a blessing in disguise. Men don’t need a very beautiful face, otherwise it’s hard to get along with rough men.”
As if he thought of something, he wiped the tears from the corners of the young man’s eyes with his fingertips and whispered in his ear, “Of course you are different. I just love your beautiful face. For it, I can reluctantly keep you.”
You Shu looked up, his face full of surprise. Is the master teasing him? Or is he hinting at something? He… he doesn’t want me to be his concubine, right? This seems pretty good?
Seeing the young man frowning and biting his lips, as if he was very conflicted and frightened, Meng Changye immediately changed the subject, “I’m joking with you, don’t take it seriously.”
While hugging his master’s arm, You Shu said hesitantly, “If you promise not to kill me, I will warm your bed.” Yes, that’s it! He finally found the right way to conquer the master! As the ruler of a fallen country, don’t you have to be the concubine of the rebellious general? Isn’t it exactly what’s written in novels?
You Shu had read too many novels without restriction when his moral values were not yet formed. Originally, he was actually a person without moral integrity and bottom line, but he had never had the opportunity to show it before. Even a cruel and ruthless person like Meng Changye was startled by his words and almost fell off his horse.
