After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine - Chapter 95
[Chapter 95]
Not long after Jiang Suizhou woke up the next day, he saw Huo Wu Jiu coming.
He was in good spirits, and seemed to have slept well the night before. But it was clearly summer, but when he came in, he brought a damp and cold air, as if he had rolled around in the imperial garden before sunrise.
Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help but glance at him more.
“What?” Huo Wu Jiu asked when he saw him staring at him.
Jiang Suizhou met his gaze, only to see a layer of dark blue looming under the burning eyes.
Jiang Suizhou’s brows twitched, and the uneasiness that had been close to nostalgia at first disappeared in a flash.
He couldn’t help but smile.
“Did you sleep well last night?” he asked.
Huo Wu Jiu subconsciously denied it: “Sleep well.”
Jiang Suizhou didn’t speak, but his eyes stopped on his dark blue eyes.
Huo Wu Jiu seemed to have noticed something, cleared his throat, and sat down beside his bed seriously: “It’s just something urgent at night, so I didn’t sleep for a long time.”
Jiang Suizhou smiled lightly and didn’t bother with him anymore.
At this moment, the people in and out of his palace are all servants who come in to arrange breakfast and tidy up the palace. The original palace servant Huo Wu Jiu didn’t dare to use them, so these people were all brought in from Jing Wang’s mansion. Fortunately, they were thin, and there were not many masters to serve, so they had enough manpower.
There are many people, and neither of them said anything else for a while.
The morning sunlight came in, Jiang Suizhou looked up and saw Huo Wu Jiu sitting on the chair beside the bed in the backlight, looking at him quietly.
His sitting posture is irregular, his legs are arbitrarily folded, and his body is leaning back, showing a very casual and relaxed appearance.
His eyes seemed to be hot.
Jiang Suizhou staggered his gaze subconsciously, and instead looked down at the gold thread on the quilt.
Then he heard Huo Wu Jiu’s deep laughter.
He didn’t know that, the early morning sunlight fell on his face, illuminating his eyelashes transparently, as if it would glow when it fell into Huo Wu Jiu’s eyes. He just felt that he had been standing outside the door all night, and getting this look early in the morning was the most valuable thing he had ever done in his life.
Jiang Suizhou cleared his throat, his ears were a little feverish, he lowered his eyes and changed the subject: “I don’t know yet, how is Lin’an now?”
Huo Wu Jiu responded and said, “It’s all right inside and outside the city, you can do everything. Don’t worry, just recuperate.”
Jiang Suizhou was about to ask again when he saw Wei Kai come in, holding a bowl of dark concoction in his hand.
It’s time for him to drink the medicine.
For a time, the aroma of the food wafting from the palace was covered by the smell of medicine. Jiang Suizhou’s eyebrows moved, and he sat up straight in resignation.
But before he could move, Huo Wu Jiu stood up first, one hand supported his shoulders, the other pulled the pillow beside him, and supported him against the bed.
“Be a snack.” Huo Wu Jiu said in a low voice. “Don’t tug on the wound.”
The clean smell of soap horns mixed with the iron smell unique to the armor, firmly caged Jiang Suizhou in place.
He lowered his eyes a little uncomfortably and let Huo Wu Jiu play with it.
He saw Wei Kai standing beside him and was about to hand over the tray in his hand when Huo Wu Jiu took the bowl away.
Then, Huo Wu Jiu sat beside the bed, and awkwardly scooped out a spoonful of medicine, blowing cold.
He couldn’t handle his breath well, and he blew a spoonful of medicine back into the bowl, leaving only a pitiful little bit on the bottom of the spoon.
Jiang Suizhou saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch, and he let out a very light laugh.
Seeing Huo Wu Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at him, he persevered and scooped up another spoonful of medicine.
Jiang Suizhou hurriedly said, “Forget it, I’ll do it myself.”
Saying that, he reached out to pick it up.
Huo Wu Jiu ducked to the side: “You are still injured.” Jiang Suizhou said warmly, “It’s not that you can’t move. When will you drink like this, give it to
me.”
I don’t know how much I drank the medicine, I’ve already gotten used to it. No matter what kind of medicine, it is extremely bitter, and it is better to drink it in one gulp than to be tortured one by one.
Huo Wu Jiu was obviously worried, and after a moment he reluctantly handed the bowl to Jiang Suizhou’s hand.
Jiang Suizhou put the jade spoon in the bowl aside, blew it, and slowly drank the warm concoction little by little.
His movements were careful but smooth, but his eyebrows were still involuntarily clenched with bitterness. He only focused on dealing with the bowl of medicine in his hand, he didn’t notice that Huo Wu Jiu followed his wrinkled brows a little bit.
Finally, when the bowl of medicine came to an end, Jiang Suizhou put down the medicine bowl and breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could relax, Huo Wu Jiu suddenly stuffed something into his mouth. For a time, a juicy sweetness spread in his mouth, as if to force away all the bitterness left in his mouth.
It’s a peeled grape.
Jiang Suizhou looked up and saw that Huo Wu Jiu had pulled a small table beside the bed at some point. The tribute fruits on the table are the grapes that were brought in tribute from the Western Regions a few days ago.
Huo Wu Jiu stuffed one and peeled off the second one.
His hands were obviously not as skilled in pulling the bow when peeling the grapes, as if he had a grudge against the grapes. When he tore off the skins, he had already crushed the grapes.
Before Jiang Suizhou could speak, another grape fell into his mouth.
Jiang Suizhou hurriedly swallowed the grapes, and hurriedly stopped him: “No, it’s not too hard.”
Where is it so precious? In the past, he drank the medicine by himself, and it was enough to take a cup of tea and drink it. He is such a big man, and he is not afraid of hardship.
But he heard Wei Kai, who was next to him, chuckle.
“My lord doesn’t know, our generals are the most afraid of hardship.”
Jiang Suizhou looked up and saw Huo Wu Jiu also raised his eyes from the plate of grapes, his hands dipped in grape juice, his eyes were fierce, and he was staring at Wei Kai like a warning.
Seeing Wei Kai smiling, he quickly continued: “General doesn’t get sick when he is a child, but once in a while, no one can put medicine in his mouth, so angry that the old marquis beat him, it’s useless, He has a fever and is running around the house trying to escape. Maybe he is afraid of hardship, so just take it as you are too?”
“The skin is tight, or do you think your head is sinking on your shoulders?” Huo Wu Jiu hit When he broke him, he was already gnashing his teeth. “Don’t get out!”
Wei Kai ran away with a smile.
Huo Wu Jiu turned his head with a gloomy face, and saw Jiang Suizhou looking at him with a smile.
“He’s talking nonsense.” Huo Wu Jiu blurted out.
But Jiang Suizhou looked like he didn’t believe it.
“I didn’t see it.” Jiang Suizhou said with a smile. “When you first came to the palace, I also saw you drinking medicine?”
Huo Wu Jiu only hated Wei Kai for being rude.
Who can like to drink medicine, such a bitter thing is a good thing? He was going to feel sick after taking a sip, but he was so big, he couldn’t be as foolish as he was when he was a child, right?
He didn’t like to drink medicine, but he didn’t like to be embarrassed.
But at Shangjiang Suizhou’s smiling face, he couldn’t get angry at all, instead, his anger turned softly into spring water.
…It’s just that the person in front of him is too attractive.
He was clearly fierce, but Jiang Suizhou was not afraid at all, just looked at him and smiled. Huo Wu Jiu gritted his teeth, and after a while, he leaned over and, as if ruthless, wiped the grape juice from his thumb onto Jiang Suizhou’s lips.
“Is it so fun, laughing!”
He was clearly gnashing his teeth, but he was also infected with a layer of inescapable smile.
——Jiang
Suizhou only had an illusion, as if a big dog suddenly appeared beside him.
Although he didn’t make a sound, he always circled around him quietly, licking him secretly from time to time, and he was happy to have fun.
He also doesn’t know where this illusion came from, after all, before this, he and Huo Wu Jiu had been together for a period of time, eating and living together, and it was no different.
Huo Wu Jiu stayed by the side of his bed that day, first drank the medicine with him, and then ate breakfast with him. Because of Huo Wu Jiu’s attention, Jiang Suizhou was also forced to use half a bowl of porridge, which made his stomach feel so hot that he wanted to doze off.
At this moment, Wei Kai turned back again.
“General,” he said. “General Lou has returned from Yangzhou.”
Huo Wu Jiu narrowed his brows.
Two days ago, the situation in Beijing was urgent. When the troops were divided yesterday, he was short of generals again. Yangzhou is very close to Lin’an, and the defenders of Yangzhou have an old relationship with Lou Yue. Yesterday, he asked Lou Yue to lead his troops to deal with Yangzhou and surrounding counties.
When he came back at this time, it must have been done. In this case, some private accounts of the two of them have to be calculated.
Huo Wu Jiu responded, then stood up, bowed to Jiang Suizhou and said, “I have some things to deal with, and come back at night.”
Jiang Suizhou saw the slight change in his expression.
Although he still looks as usual, the aura of his body is somewhat cold, and he is quite aggressive, looking for someone to settle accounts in autumn.
He hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter?”
Huo Wu Jiu only vaguely said, “Nothing.”
Jiang Suizhou had some vague guesses.
Before leaving, Huo Wu Jiu also told him that Lou Yue would protect him in the city. But Lou Yue’s hand couldn’t reach the palace after all, that day, the Lord suddenly got the news before them, and it was unexpected to detain him in the palace.
Jiang Suizhou was a little worried that what Huo Wu Jiu said was to be dealt with was this matter.
“You tell the truth.” Jiang Suizhou said. “What are you going to do with Lou Yue?”
Huo Wu Jiu didn’t say a word, as if he had acquiesced in Jiang Suizhou’s guess.
Jiang Suizhou sighed and explained warmly: “If it was because I was detained by Jiang Shunheng that day, it would be unnecessary. General Lou was also very interested in me, but the palace was heavily guarded, and his troops were outside the city again. In an emergency, he is helpless, and it is only natural. What’s more, he also threatens Pang Shao? If not, whether Jiang Shunheng can stay with me for a few days is uncertain.”
Huo Wu Jiu lowered his eyes, his voice was also down.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” he said.
“So, are you going to find Lou Yue to settle accounts?” Jiang Suizhou asked.
Seeing that Huo Wu Jiu’s fierce aura was all over his body just now, he weakened for a while, like a big wolf with its tail hanging down.
“…But he wasn’t careful.” Huo Wu Jiu said stubbornly.
Jiang Suizhou said, “Even if he took it seriously at that time, what would he do? Was he detained in the palace with me?”
Huo Wu Jiu did not speak.
He was very tall, standing there and had to lower his head to talk to Jiang Suizhou. He was a little dejected at the moment, and he looked a little pitiful with his head down, which made people want to pat his head for a while and give him a smooth ride.
“He is your elder no matter what.” Jiang Suizhou said. “Just talk to him properly, don’t reprimand him again. Without him, we wouldn’t be able to achieve today’s situation just by relying on you and me, right?”
Huo Wu Jiu was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.
“Like how scary I am,” he said. “I don’t want to kill him, I want you to beg for mercy like this.”
Jiang Suizhou laughed out loud.
In all fairness, who wouldn’t be afraid of Huo Wu Jiu’s appearance outside? With his attitude just now, he was really afraid that Huo Wu Jiu would take Lou Yue’s life on impulse.
When he smiled like that, Huo Wu Jiu was even more dissatisfied.
He turned his head to look at Wei Kai, and Wei Kai quickly ran away with a wink. Then, he turned around, leaned over, and put one hand on the pillow on the inside of Jiang Suizhou’s bed.
In an instant, the shadow fell, covering Jiang Suizhou under him.
A sense of oppression came over his face immediately, making Jiang Suizhou only feel some breathing difficulties for a while.
“…What are you doing?” His smile froze, and he was a little nervous when he spoke.
He saw Huo Wu Jiu leaning over, with his arms on his sides, when he lowered his head, his forehead was almost touching his forehead.
“It’s okay to listen to you.”
As soon as the aggrieved look on his face disappeared, the sense of oppression immediately climbed several dimensions.
In this sense of oppression, there is an indescribable ambiguity.
He spoke in a low voice.
“Then you have to give me some reward in exchange for it?”
The author has something to say: Everyone praised General Huo for having a virtuous inner helper, and he disciplined the murderous General Huo to be proficient in benevolence, righteousness, etiquette.
His Royal Highness Prince Jing scolded at the mansion while holding his waist.
How easy is it for you to tether a wolf?
