When Jiang Suizhou woke up the next day, he saw an unfamiliar beam.
He was about to turn over and sit up, but felt a splitting headache. The slightest movement made him dizzy.
He frowned and rested on the bed for a moment, and then slowly sat up until his vision was no longer spinning round.
Then he realized that it was bright everywhere. There was some familiarity in the strangeness. He was in Huo Wujiu’s room.
This is…?Jiang Suizhou felt disoriented for a while. He held his forehead for a considerable time before he regained some memories.
He had been drinking at Huo Wujiu’s place last night. The wine was strong, but his health was poor. Hence, halfway through the drink, he passed out drunk.
This time, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t recall what happened after.
So … did he sleep with Huo Wujiu last night and took up his bed?
Jiang Suizhou still felt light-headed when he heard the bedroom door open. It was Huo Wujiu, who had washed himself clean with clear moisture on his face. He rolled his wheelchair and entered.
“Are you awake?” He heard Huo Wujiu ask.
Jiang Suizhou looked up at him and saw the clear and fresh looking Huo Wujiu. Although the latter was poker-faced, he was sitting upright in his wheelchair. He, on the other hand, was leaning on the bed and leaning weakly against the headboard. Something was quite wrong with the atmosphere.“I drank so much last night that I didn’t know I spent the night with you,” Jiang Suizhou said, rubbing his forehead with one hand.
Huo Wujiu gingerly glanced at him and replied, “It’s okay.”
Then, he swung his wheelchair to the outer room and called Meng Qianshan in loudly.
Meng Qianshan had been standing outside all night. Upon hearing Huo Wujiu’s call, he quickly pushed in the door, and asked for someone to bring in the sobering tea that he had prepared earlier.
He waited on Jiang Suizhou as he drank the sobering tea. Finally, Jiang Suizhou didn’t feel dizzy anymore. Jiang Suizhou got up and changed his robe. He saw Li Changning with Wei Kai coming in from outside.
The two were both stunned to see him sitting on Huo Wujiu’s bed and drinking tea. Li Changning promptly bowed his head and feigned ignorance to his presence, not forgetting to motion to Wei Kai who was following behind him, staring outrightly at Jiang Suizhou.
“This lowly servant went to the main house earlier but didn’t see Your Highness. I didn’t expect that Your Highness is actually here with Madam,” Li Changning stepped forward and bowed.
Jiang Suizhou gently hummed and replied, “It doesn’t matter. If there is no adjustment to the dosage of decoction today, just ask someone to boil it as written.”
Li Changning responded.
Meng Qianshan helped Jiang Suizhou up, but when he got up, dizziness struck his head, and he almost lost his footing.
He thought to himself, I need to go back and catch up on my sleep.
He raised his hand and ordered, “Do what you have to do. This Prince is leaving.”
The two men hurriedly sent Jiang Suizhou off at the side.
Jiang Suizhou nodded at Huo Wujiu and turned to go.
Jiang Suizhou moved sluggishly, and he walked out with a fluttering pace. Once the door of the room closed from the outside, only three of them remained in the room.
Wei Kai raised his head to look out alertly without delay and watched as Jiang Suizhou walked farther away before glancing back at Huo Wujiu. His eyes were wide open: “General, he’s…!”
Huo Wugou glanced at him faintly and could work out what the kid was thinking.
He frowned and said, “Don’t think nonsense.”
Only when Wei Kai heard this from him did he hastily let out a sigh of relief.
Although he was inexperienced, alarms still kept ringing in his heart when he looked at Jingwang’s appearance.
How could he spend the night at the General’s place and look a little bit weaker than usual? Could it be that something happened between him and the General last night?
But fortunately, since the General told him not to think of nonsensical matters, then he could set his mind to rest.
Wei Kai had been on edge for a long time, but at this moment, he finally breathed in relief. He no longer watched his language and blurted out, “This subordinate understands! What kind of person is the General? How can you be like him!”
As he stated that, he raised his eyes and looked at his general with shining eyes.
However, when he met his General’s eyes, Wei Kai suddenly felt cold all over.
When Wei Kai was feeling disconcerted, the general frowned and said coldly, “Keep your mouth shut.”
Wei Kai hurriedly shut his mouth and nodded.
The General stopped looking at him. He stood up from his wheelchair and walked slowly to the bedside. He stepped aside with a wink, took out the medicine bag that Li Changning brought, and boiled the medicine for Huo Wujiu.
Wei Kai was more than aware that he had just said something wrong and made the General angry.
It was just that …
He was puzzled.
He hadn’t said anything wrong just now, so what was the General angry about?
In the main room of Anyin Hall, Meng Qianshan supported Jiang Suizhou as he slowly lay down on the bed.
He was used to sleeping on his own bed, and he didn’t expect Huo Wujiu’s bed to be so hard. It made his back ache all night. Meng Qianshan waited for him to eat something before lowering the bed curtains and allowing him to go back to sleep.
Jiang Suizhou still couldn’t figure it out.
He pondered for a long time, but still had to ask, “How did I fall asleep there yesterday?”
Meng Qianshan replied when he heard his question, “Ow, Your Highness, how could this servant know? Yesterday, this servant kept watch along the corridor until the third watch when Madam came to the door and said that you wanted to sleep there.”
Jiang Suizhou frowned: “Madam Huo said so?”
Meng Qianshan nodded.
“Doesn’t Your Highness remember?”
Jiang Suizhou replied with a faint hum. After a moment, he said, “I drank too much. Indeed I don’t remember much.”
Meng Qianshan hummed in response.
He heard Jiang Suizhou pause and then say, “It’s just…”
Meng Qianshan prodded, “Just what?”
Jiang Suizhou frowned and pondered.
Hearing Meng Qianshan’s answer, it seemed like Jiang Suizhou had asked to stay there on his own initiative, but he couldn’t remember saying such words. Instead, he remembered brief moments. It seemed like someone carried him over and put him on the bed.
But that memory was like a dream. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, so he simply rubbed his temples and said softly, “Forget it, it’s nothing.”
It must be a hallucination, Jiang Suizhou thought to himself. Huo Wujiu’s legs were still disabled. And even if they weren’t, why would he carry him?
