After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine - Chapter 122

[Chapter 122]

A few days later, Huo Wu Jiu and Jiang Suizhou set foot on the road north.

Now that Jiangnan and Jiangbei are considered unified, this road has gone quite smoothly. When he arrived in Yecheng, it was already July. Yecheng was in the north, and it was much cooler than Lin’an, but it taught him and the two to escape the sweltering heat.

Compared with Lin’an, Yecheng is much heavier. From the beginning of the previous dynasty, Yecheng was the capital of the country, and until now, it has been three or four hundred years.

When entering the city, through the brocade curtain raised by the carriage, Jiang Suizhou looked up and saw the dark black city wall, quietly spreading out under the blue sky. Ye City is not as shady as Lin’an’s green willows. Outside the city are all drought-tolerant cypresses, with darker branches and leaves, hidden from the city walls.

The carriage entered the city sparklingly, and there were thick and tall houses and pavilions, and a wide and straight road. When the city of Ye was built, it was built in a wide and square shape, and the road was straight. Compared to this, Lin’an looks much more graceful.

On both sides of the road are people passing by, and their robes are not the same as those in Lin’an.

Seeing that he kept staring outside, Huo Wu Jiu who was beside him also came forward.

“What are you looking at?” Huo Wu Jiu asked.

Jiang Suizhou looked out the window.

“It’s very different from Lin’an,” he said.

Huo Wu Jiu followed his gaze and looked out. He didn’t live in Yecheng for a few years, but he didn’t see anything new. He followed it for a second, then withdrew his gaze and asked, “Do you like it here?”

Jiang Suizhou nodded and shook his head again.

“It’s not because I like the scenery of Yecheng,” he said. “It’s just emotion, the scenery is different from north to south, east to west, it’s really interesting.”

Huo Wu Jiu’s eyes moved from the window to his face.

He remembered that Jiang Suizhou liked to read travel notes very much, and he didn’t know what the idle people who wrote books meant. But now it seems that Jiang Suizhou likes not those literati who wrote books, but the lakes, seas and mountains written by those literati.

Thinking like this, he suddenly raised his hand and pulled down the curtain of the carriage.

“What?” Jiang Suizhou turned his head and was about to ask when he met Huo Wu Jiu’s kiss.

“There will be more to see in the future.” Huo Wu Jiu said. “If you like to turn around, we don’t want this throne. I’ll take you out to play.”

His tone was serious, and his expression didn’t seem to be joking. At first glance, he knew that it was serious.

Jiang Suizhou burst out laughing.

“Don’t fool around,” he said. “If you didn’t support me here, the imperial court would be in chaos sooner or later.”

Huo Wu Jiu frowned.

Although he wouldn’t say that this mess has nothing to do with him, but thinking of delaying Jiang Suizhou’s preferences for these foreign things, he was a little unhappy.

Jiang Suizhou saw his mind.

“I like to see these scenery.” He said warmly. “But what I like to see is how peaceful and peaceful they look.”

Huo Wu Jiu looked at him.

Seeing Jiang Suizhou leaning over with a smile, he asked.

“If there is such a day, I don’t know if General Huo would like to go on a tour with me to see our peaceful and prosperous world?”

Huo Wu Jiu’s Adam’s apple moved up and down.

“Very happy,” he replied in a low voice.

——When

they returned to Yecheng, they got news that Emperor Zhaoyuan’s health was getting worse during this time.

Huo Wu Jiu settled Jiang Suizhou in his mansion in Yecheng, and hurriedly entered the palace.

The physical condition of Emperor Zhaoyuan is indeed not optimistic.

His body was not healthy at all, and a few days ago, Huo Yuyan’s assassination of Huo Wu Jiu reached his ears again.

That’s when he started to get sick.

When Huo Wu Jiu entered the palace, Emperor Zhao Yuan had just finished taking the medicine. The imperial doctor who came out shook his head at Huo Shu, who was standing in front of the door, and said that His Majesty had only taken half of the medicine today, so he couldn’t take anything.

Seeing Huo Wu Jiu coming, Huo Shu looked up at him and nodded slightly at him.

Huo Shu is only two years younger than Huo Yuyan, and about the same age as Huo Wu Jiu. She had a dignified and quiet personality since she was a child, but now when she looked at Huo Wu Jiu, her eyes were a little red.

Huo Wu Jiu also knew why.

He stepped forward, stood in front of Huo Shu, saluted her, and said, “Second sister.”

Huo Shu nodded, answered, then turned sideways, and said, “Go in and have a look, For the past few days, the royal father has been looking forward to you.”

Huo Wu Jiu nodded and walked towards Emperor Zhao Yuan’s bedroom.

Just after taking a step out, Huo Shu stopped him again.

“No fault.” She called.

Huo Wu Jiu turned his head and saw Huo Shu looking at him, hesitating for a moment before asking, “Big brother… where is he now?”

Huo Wu Jiu replied, “We came back together, I didn’t kill him. .”

Huo Shu sniffed and said softly, “Thank you.”

Huo Wu Jiu nodded.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Huo Shu say, “This matter… it’s the big brother who is sorry for you.”

Huo Wu Jiu didn’t say anything, he lifted his legs and entered the bedroom of Emperor Zhaoyuan.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Huo Wu Jiu smelled a strong medicinal smell. The smell of this medicine is strong and heavy, with a kind of strength that makes people unable to breathe, and there is a deep dead breath that diffuses in this medicine smell.

Huo Wu Jiu’s brows furrowed tightly and his steps quickened.

As soon as he walked to the bedside, he heard a few hoarse coughs and was weak.

When he left, Emperor Zhaoyuan was not so sick.

Huo Wu Jiu stepped forward in a hurry, and just stopped by the dragon bed, when he heard the person on the bed coughing hoarsely and asking, “Is Wu Jiu here?”

Huo Wu Jiu paused, and after a while, he finally calmed down. Responded.

“Uncle,” he whispered.

He heard a rustling sound on the bed.

Huo Wu Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and saw Emperor Zhao Yuan on the bed, thin and bony, almost out of shape, struggling to sit up. The maids and eunuchs on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and after a while, they helped Emperor Zhaoyuan to sit firmly on the bed.

“Wu Jiu.” Emperor Zhao Yuan shook his head and looked at Huo Wu Jiu.

Huo Wu Jiu did not speak.

Seeing that Emperor Zhaoyuan raised his hand, he waved back all the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall.

After a while, the door of the room closed, and in the entire bedroom, only Huo Wu Jiu and Emperor Zhao Yuan were left.

“This child Yuyan… I didn’t teach him well.” As soon as Emperor Zhaoyuan’s words came out, he was already a little choked up.

Huo Wu Jiu knelt down in front of his bed quietly.

“It’s the unfilial nephew.” Huo Wu Jiu said in a deep voice. “If something like this happened, my uncle

is worried.” Emperor Zhaoyuan waved his hand.

“Where’s your fault?” he said hurriedly.

Huo Wu Jiu did not speak.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Zhaoyuan asked again: “Then you are trapped in Nanjing because of Yuyan?”

Huo Wu Jiu looked up at him, paused, but still did not make a sound.

Emperor Zhaoyuan sighed.

“You don’t have to feel guilty, and you don’t have to be afraid of angering me,” he said. “I know this in my heart. Even if I don’t cause so many troubles, I won’t be able to last long.”

Huo Wu Jiu pursed his lips.

Emperor Zhaoyuan looked at him.

“I just want to find out why,” he said.

Huo Wu Jiu was silent for a moment, then took out a few bloody letters from his arms and put them on the bedside of Emperor Zhaoyuan.

Emperor Zhaoyuan stretched out his jagged hand and picked up the letter tremblingly.

For a while, in the entire dormitory, there was only the rustling sound of flipping letter paper.

After a long time, a click was heard. Huo Wu Jiu raised his eyes and saw that it was Emperor Zhao Yuan who was holding the letter, already bursting into tears.

“Uncle.” Huo Wu Jiu stood up with a frown, went forward and took the letters away.

“This is a matter between me and my eldest brother.” Huo Wu Jiu frowned. “Uncle just takes care of his illness.”

Emperor Zhaoyuan raised his head when he heard the words.

“I didn’t teach Yuyan well.” He trembled and choked, his words were a little broken, and he even forgot the emperor’s self-proclaimed name. “I only told him to be quiet and thoughtful, but I didn’t expect him to get into the horns. I also know that he is filial. Since I was seriously injured, he has always felt distressed, but I didn’t expect him to complain to the eldest brother and you. On his body. He… This makes me have no face to see my elder brother after I die?”

Having said this, Emperor Zhaoyuan choked and was speechless.

Huo Wu Jiu stood there, holding the letter in one hand, looking down at him, silent for a long time, the letter in his hand was wrinkled.

Then, he crouched down in silence, raised his hand clumsily to wipe the tears from Emperor Zhaoyuan’s face.

“I don’t blame you.” Huo Wu Jiu said slowly.

Just when he was about to withdraw his hand, Emperor Zhaoyuan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Huo Wu Jiu’s hand.

That hand, jagged and withered, had no strength left. But Huo Wu Jiu couldn’t move, he was deadlocked for a moment, and let Emperor Zhao Yuan hold it.

“Uncle now, he shouldn’t have said that.” Emperor Zhaoyuan let out a sigh of relief, with a bit of pleading in his tone. “No blame, I won’t let Yuyan inherit the great line again. He is not in good health, and his mind is heavy. He sits on the throne, and I neither trust him nor you.”

He said, and shook his hand . Huo Wu Jiu’s hand.

“I know you don’t care about this throne, but I have to give it to you. Uncle trusts you, and I want to make amends for you. Uncle will not live long, and after I die, everything in this world will be lost. It’s yours.”

Huo Wu Jiu was silent for a moment without speaking.

“These were originally yours.” Emperor Zhaoyuan said.

Huo Wu Jiu suddenly said, “It shouldn’t have been.”

Emperor Zhao Yuan looked at him. The eyes of the sick are always cloudy, and now they are covered with a layer of water mist, which looks a little pitiful.

“This battle is not for the world, not for fame, but for my brothers in the Huo family, to have a place and enjoy peace and happiness.” Huo Wu Jiu said slowly. “This is what my father said when he started an uprising.”

Emperor Zhaoyuan’s tears fell again.

“Big brother, he…”

“Father’s wish has come true now.” Huo Wu Jiu said. “Uncle, I understand what you mean. If you are worried, I will do it for you, but these things were not what I wanted to take.”

Emperor Zhaoyuan nodded with tears.

“Then, you should only accept your uncle’s compensation, okay?” Emperor Zhaoyuan said. “Then… Uncle has another unkind request.”

Huo Wu Jiu knew what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, Emperor Zhaoyuan continued.

“Uncle only wants to leave Yuyan alive after he dies. For the rest of his life, even if he is deposed as a commoner and placed under house arrest in the palace, it will be good,” said Emperor Zhaoyuan. “You should only give him a chance, and give him a punishment, and let him reflect on it, okay?”

Huo Wu Jiu kept his mouth shut, after a while, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Then, in exchange, I also want to make a request to my uncle,” he said.

“You said.” Emperor Zhaoyuan said.

“This throne is a gift from my uncle, so I want to use it as a gift and give it to another person, okay?”

The author has something to say: Huo Wujiu: The throne is a man’s best dowry 😀
