After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22]

Jiang Suizhou felt that Huo Wu Jiu should not want to poison him.

But…what did he give himself medicine for?

He looked at Huo Wu Jiu suspiciously and did not move for a while.

Just at this moment, a breeze blew in from the open window. It was clearly a refreshing warm wind, but it blew the water vapor on Jiang Suizhou’s body, causing him to cough violently.

He coughed badly, thinking that it was because his immune system was already low, and he was tired again today, and his body was even weaker.

After a while, he stopped coughing, his voice was hoarse, and there was a layer of water mist in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his eyes, and through the hazy mist, he saw that the window had been covered by someone.

Huo Wu Jiu was sitting under the window reading a book without raising his eyes.

Jiang Suizhou let out his breath, went to the edge of the bed embarrassingly, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

…his bed is so comfortable!

The bed is spacious, the quilt is thick, and the brocade used is thick and soft. Just touching it, I feel that half of my soul is about to sink in.

Jiang Suizhou was a little moved for a while. After all, since he came to this world, he still didn’t know what it was like to sleep in a bed.

He originally wanted to refuse and let the disabled person come back to bed because of this.

——Since it was given to him by Huo Wu Jiu, then a night’s sleep is nothing, it’s not like he bullied others.

With that in mind, he pulled the quilt away. Following his movements, the small objects placed on the table came into his sight again.

His eyes fell on the medicine on the table.

What kind of medicine is this…?

Jiang Suizhou was at a loss, looked at the medicine, and then looked at Huo Wu Jiu who said nothing.

He didn’t really want to eat it, after all, he didn’t even know what it was. But he also knew that even if Huo Wu Jiu wanted to poison him, he would not use such a direct method.

What if the family is well-intentioned, and he doesn’t eat it, what if it makes him unhappy?

After weighing it for a while, Jiang Suizhou still believed in Huo Wu Jiu’s character, so he simply took the medicine and lay down on the bed.

It’s so comfortable, how can there be such a thing as a bed?

Jiang Suizhou was already tired and dizzy. After pulling the quilt for a while, he fell asleep.

He didn’t see it, when he fell asleep in a daze, Huo Wu Jiu, who was sitting on the couch, gave him a quiet look.

…Looking at the shrewdness, he dared to take the medicine given by the enemy without knowing what it was.

The medicine he put on the table was the one he brought out of prison. This herbal medicine is the most important for boosting Qi and nourishing blood. When he was in a state of confusion in prison, he would eat one to hang his life. A month later, there are not a few pills left in his hand. The last time he used it to intimidate Zhou Fuyi, he also used two pills.

He saw that Jiang Suizhou on the bed had fallen asleep.

…a bit stupid.

He raised his hand and extinguished the candle in front of the table.

For a time, the bedroom fell into a quiet darkness, and only the window paper blown by the breeze was quietly stirring.

Huo Wu Jiu glanced at the window.

…I don’t know how he could be so weak, a wind that he didn’t even feel could blow the man into a cough that made his eyes watery.

So, who do you want to protect?

——Waking

up the next day, Jiang Suizhou only felt refreshed and had never slept so well.

I don’t know if it was because he finally fell asleep on the bed, or because of the medicine Huo Wu Jiu gave him, in short, Jiang Suizhou woke up this day, only to feel that his breath was much smoother.

However, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites should still be done.

Jiang Suizhou had studied the ritual system of the Jing Dynasty and knew it was cumbersome, but he never thought that it would be so troublesome to do it.

All because of the extravagance of the latter master.

In the past few days, due to the comparison of various details, Jiang Suizhou obtained the records of the book that the Lord held the Qianqiu Banquet in the past two years.

When he held a banquet in the first year of his accession to the throne, the late emperor had just died less than a year ago, and the palace in Lin’an was only half-built. But even at this time, the Qianqiu Banquet of the Later Lord was extremely extravagant, twice as high as that of the previous Emperor.

In the past two years, Nan Jing has gradually settled down in Lin’an, and the size of the banquet has increased year by year.

The Ministry of Rites was also very busy because of this.

Under such circumstances, even if Jiang Suizhou received a lot of care from Ji You, he was only able to return home on time, and he didn’t have to be busy until midnight. But when he returned to the mansion every day, he was still so tired that his feet were fluttering, the top of his head was dizzy, and he was so sick that he wanted to fall down.

However, he rests well every day.

Huo Wu Jiu seemed to have forgotten that the bed was his place, every day when Jiang Suizhou was going to rest, he would occupy the couch and make Jiang Suizhou have to go to bed.

Jiang Suizhou reminded Huo Wu Jiu every day and asked him to exchange it with himself, but he was extremely tired every day and the bed was too comfortable, so his idea was delayed by him again and again.

It is precisely because of this that during this period, although Jiang Suizhou was tired, he was able to sleep well every night. When he woke up the next morning, he was able to replenish his energy somewhat, so that he would not be really exhausted.

Among them, there is a bit of Huo Wu Jiu’s credit, even when he sees Huo Wu Jiu every day, he feels that he is a lot more pleasing to the eye.

He also gradually formed a delicate balance with Huo Wu Jiu.

The two of them still didn’t communicate much, but because they were in the same courtyard, they would have two meals in the morning and evening together. After dinner, if it was getting early, the two of them would sit in the bedroom and do their own thing.

It’s quite stable.

Until the fifteenth of this month.

Although Jiang Suizhou was busy, he still remembered the account book he found in the study.

On the morning of the fifteenth, as soon as he had breakfast, he called Meng Qianshan aside.

“Have you brought back this month’s account book?” he asked in a vague and pointed way.

Meng Qianshan was really fooled by him. Hearing his question, he quickly took out a thin piece of paper from his arms.

“It was delivered last night, and the servant was thinking of giving it to you when the prince comes back from work today.” He said with a smile.

Jiang Suizhou took over the account, and saw that he remembered the details in it, and it was actually all the food and daily life of a family of two in January. Because these two never go out, the expenses are very small, and after a month, there is not much money.

Jiang Suizhou glanced at Meng Qianshan, and said tentatively, “This month’s expenses are a little less.”

Meng Qianshan hurriedly said, “Isn’t it? That little lady didn’t spend a lot of money at all, and the old lady’s cold was fine, so she even I don’t need the money for medicine anymore.”

Jiang Suizhou paused, then probed: “That’s good. If there is a place to spend money, there is no need to save it. These two are important and must be taken care of.”

Meng Qianshan really took the bait.

He smiled naively, and nodded repeatedly: “Master, don’t worry, the servants will save! Madam Gu’s family, the servants will definitely not let them miss the slightest!”

Jiang Suizhou was stunned.

… Mrs. Gu?

He didn’t even think that the original owner had detained his family members in the house in order to make Gu Changyun obey him.

It is no wonder that in the expenses of these two people, there is no travel expenses, but a large amount of money is spent on hiring guards. It’s no wonder that although Gu Changjun tried him, he didn’t resent him at all, as if he had no master-servant friendship with the original owner at all…

Jiang Suizhou paused and collected the bill.

“It’s good that you know.” He nodded lightly, then turned and walked out.

He probably figured out the details of Gu Changyun, and now, he really wanted to know how Xu Du was brought under the command of the original owner.

He hadn’t forgotten that on the fifteenth day of every month, he also had a money exchange with Xu Du. From this, he may be able to get a glimpse of Xu Du’s bottom line.

After returning from the Ministry of Rites tonight, I still need to go to Xu Du’s courtyard.

Jiang Suizhou, while planning in his heart, walked out of the yard and got on the chariot parked outside the yard.

There are still a lot of errands waiting for him in the Ministry of Rites, and he is holding important news from his staff at this time. So many things occupied his mind that he forgot to tell Meng Qianshan that he would not be going back to the courtyard for dinner tonight.

The author has something to say:

Hof people! The lord is not going home tonight! !
