After the Disabled God of War Beca My Concubine Chapter 27
...Don’t be afraid?
This was the first ti Jiang Suizhou heard soone say such a thing to him.
He didn't know where Huo Wujiu got his confidence. Even if he was considered a War God that killed gods and Buddhas, he was now just a clay statue. Any hot-tempered person with rough hands and feet could smash him to bits.
However, when these words ca out of his mouth, they sounded extrely convincing. For a while, Jiang Suizhou felt that Huo Wujiu was really trying to keep him safely behind him.
Jiang Suizhou was a bit overwheld for a while.
Under his grip, Huo Wujiu felt Jiang Suizhou stop struggling. When Huo Wujiu looked up, he found that the man's expression was still cold, but his eyes were a bit empty.
He couldn't help but sigh deep inside.
This man; he was obviously harmless, but he just had to wear the mask of a vicious tyrant.
He let go of Jiang Suizhou's wrist and took away the jade bowl he was holding in passing.
Only when Jiang Suizhou’s hand was emptied did he snap back to his senses.
He found that Huo Wujiu had taken his bowl away, and was now holding the dicine in one hand. He raised a pair of cold, calm eyes and regarded him quietly.
"Go back to bed." He heard Huo Wujiu speak.
His tone was still brusque and cold, quite like giving orders to his soldiers.
That was when Jiang Suizhou realized that he was wearing only thin pajamas with his ankles exposed.
It was not too cold in early spring, but it was much for his sickly body to endure. In just a while, he was completely frozen.
Jiang Suizhou could only return to the bed and sit in embarrassnt.
Huo Wujiu rolled his wheelchair with one hand and moved to the bedside. He placed the dicine bowl on the low table beside him.
Huo Wujiu put down the dicine, but did not leave. When Jiang Suizhou looked at him, he saw Huo Wujiu looking at him indifferently. Although he was silent, his stance told him that he was waiting to see him drink the dicine before withdrawing.
Jiang Suizhou secretly gritted his teeth.
...Are you the King or am I?
In any case, Huo Wujiu was only a concubine. His arrogance was evidently an offense to his superior.
Jiang Suizhou muttered his grievances in his heart, and pursed his lips. He took the dicine bowl, tilted his head and drank it.
...It’s bitter as hell.
Jiang Suizhou's illness had really been cured.
After that day, he also thought it through. Anyway, Huo Wujiu had already known what the emperor wanted to do and also said he was not afraid. No matter how the emperor courted death, it was none of Jiang Suizhou’s business.
After all, what he really feared was that Huo Wujiu would settle accounts with him later. With this arrangent, he naturally could sleep in comfort.
However, he and Huo Wujiu shared the sa room day after day, and sotis when Jiang Suizhou raised his eyes, he could see Huo Wujiu in the room.
Recently, when he t eyes with Huo Wujiu, he couldn't help but contemplate. What would General Huo do on the day of the emperor’s birthday banquet?
The emperor’s birthday was a big day for him, so no blood would be shed at the banquet, and Huo Wujiu was unlikely to be hurt physically.
The emperor was a fool with no brains. Once Huo Wujiu was really in front of him, the emperor would co up with so humiliating slurs, but the harm would only be superficial.
But Jiang Suizhou didn't forget that Pang Shao, who was beside the emperor, was treacherous, and had a belly full of evil tricks.
Needless to say, Jiang Suizhou knew that he would definitely suggest to the emperor a dirty trick or two.
Of course, all these tricks were aid at Huo Wujiu. Since Jiang Suizhou had already chosen to wash his hands off of it, he didn’t have to be afraid. But he was still a little worried. The closer the birthday banquet approached, the more unsettled he was.
Jiang Suizhou could only attribute this ntality to the fact that he and Huo Wujiu were grasshoppers on a rope. They were bound together for good or ill.
What other reason could there be?
Three days passed quickly. When Jiang Suizhou's wind chill had recovered, it was close to the day of the emperor’s birthday banquet.
A day prior, Jiang Suizhou once again welcod the imperial doctor that Pang Shao sent.
When the doctor arrived, Jiang Suizhou was no longer bedridden. He was already dressed properly, draped in a thin cloak and sitting in the main hall reading a book. The doctor stepped forward and diagnosed his pulse, then took two steps back and knelt down.
Jiang Suizhou withdrew his hand, picked up the cup of tea on the table and glanced at him lightly.
Then I heard the imperial doctor kneeling on the ground say, "Congratulations, Your Highness. Your health has improved greatly. I can report to His Majesty when I return to the palace that you can attend tomorrow's banquet without any delay..."
Jiang Suizhou raised an eyebrow.
The next mont, the teacup in his hand shattered in front of the imperial doctor with a resounding clang.
The servants in the room were frightened. Even Huo Wujiu, who was by the window, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Suizhou.
He saw Jiang Suizhou sitting crookedly on a spacious wooden armchair. His arms were resting on the armrest, and his overcoat spread out. He was quite relaxed and indolent.
Jiang Suizhou was born extrely delicate with an ice-cold countenance. When he was looking down at soone, he looked arrogant and aloof, but also exuded an inexplicable poppy-like attraction. Once people laid eyes on him, they would be scared, but at the sa ti, wouldn’t be able to resist the desire to get closer.
In front of him, the teacup shattered into pieces on the ground, and hot tea splashed onto the doctor's robe, making him tremble with fright. Even the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
Jiang Suizhou’s voice slowly reverberated: “The emperor’s birthday banquet...His Majesty’s birthday banquet. Why are you reminding one after another? Do you think I am reluctant to go?"
He knew that this doctor was the dog that Pang Shao kept. While monitoring his health in the na of consultation, Pang Shao instructed him to annoy him even further, one way or another.
The first ti, Jiang Suizhou couldn’t rebel, but the next ti...Pang Shao thought Jiang Suizhou was easy to bully, so he deliberately let others flaunt his power.
Of course he couldn’t leave it alone.
