After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 27

...Don’t be afraid?

This was the first time Jiang Suizhou heard someone 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 came out of his mouth, they sounded extremely convincing. For a while, Jiang Suizhou felt that Huo Wujiu was really trying to keep him safely behind him.

Jiang Suizhou was a bit overwhelmed 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 medicine 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 embarrassment.

Huo Wujiu rolled his wheelchair with one hand and moved to the bedside. He placed the medicine bowl on the low table beside him.

Huo Wujiu put down the medicine, 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 medicine 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 medicine 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 arrangement, he naturally could sleep in comfort.

However, he and Huo Wujiu shared the same room day after day, and sometimes when Jiang Suizhou raised his eyes, he could see Huo Wujiu in the room.

Recently, when he met 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 come up with some 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 aimed 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 mentality 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 welcomed 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 moment, 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 extremely delicate with an ice-cold countenance. When he was looking down at someone, 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 same time, 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 me 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 name of consultation, Pang Shao instructed him to annoy him even further, one way or another.

The first time, Jiang Suizhou couldn’t rebel, but the next time...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.
