After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 90

When Jiang Suizhou stepped into Huo Wujiu's room, he saw him sitting on the bed reading a book.

When he entered the room, Meng Qianshan discerningly took off his cloak and withdrew.

Jiang Suizhou walked straight into Huo Wujiu's bedroom and sat down by his bed. Huo Wujiu had just put down the book in his hand when he saw Jiang Suizhou sitting there looking at him.

"What?" Huo Wujiu asked.

Jiang Suizhou frowned and replied, "I just think they've treated you for so long, but you still don't look well."

Huo Wujiu paused and skirted around the topic.

"Did Jiang Shunheng summon you to the palace?" he asked.

Jiang Suizhou smiled at his question. He took Huo Wujiu's book and casually flipped through it.

"Hmm," he replied smilingly, "Recently, the imperial doctors who entered the manor has never stopped. I've recovered somewhat these days, so naturally, he wants to confirm with his own eyes whether I'm dead or not."

After saying that, he looked down at the book, unable to resist releasing a soft sigh.

Before he transmigrated, he was in good health and never knew what it was like to be a sick child. After staying here for so many days, although he had tried his best to change the fate of being killed by Huo Wujiu, he also knew that his naturally frail body would never get better.

His lifespan perhaps was still uncertain.

But just then, he heard Huo Wujiu's voice.

"I won't let anything happen to you," he promised.

Jiang Suizhou raised his eyes and saw Huo Wujiu looking at him quite seriously

He burst out laughing.

"That's for sure," he said. "With General Huo protecting this Prince, I believe that even if Jiang Shunheng was old friends with King Yama, there was no way he could take my life."

He just thought Huo Wujiu was kidding and he didn’t take him seriously —— After all, it was all too easy not to get killed, but it was another story when it came to dying due to illness.

Nevertheless, Jiang Suizhou had always been broad-minded, only thinking of taking one step and looking around before taking another.

In front of him, Huo Wujiu's lips moved inaudibly, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it.

Jiang Suizhou did not notice his abnormality. After the quip, he continued, "However, this Prince did see Pang Shao today."

When Huo Wujiu heard these words, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Suizhou quietly, waiting for his next words.

He heard Jiang Suizhou say, "Today, when I came out of the palace, I happened to run into him. I spotted a eunuch next to him, so I think the Emperor doesn't want to see him just yet. He went there on his own initiative."

Huo Wujiu nodded in response: "Did you speak with him?"

Jiang Suizhou smiled and said, "Yes, I did. I feigned complete ignorance, mocked him a couple of times, and acted the part of a villain intoxicated by success."

Huo Wujiu hmmed. He didn't say anything, but when he raised his eyes to Jiang Suizhou, the corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly.

This man didn't often smile, but every time he smiled, even the tiniest hint of it made him look radiant. He was especially dazzling.

Jiang Suizhou was rather stunned.

When he spoke again, he almost stammered.

"What's wrong?" He asked with a trace of lump in his throat.

Huo Wujiu replied, "Nothing. I just recalled the birthday banquet at the palace that day. You performed remarkably in front of Pang Shao."

Jiang Suizhou was rendered speechless, and actually blushed a little.

Even if Huo Wujiu didn't say it outright, the two of them knew it by heart. As a last resort that day, he had to play a tenth of a pervert in front of Pang Shao.

However, he did not expect that Huo Wujiu would one day joke about this matter.

His blush receded, and he actually found it quite funny. He cleared his throat and gave Huo Wujiu across him a glance, a condescending posture.

"Madam Huo," he said with an accent, "This Prince doesn't like people who are arrogant because they're favored."

Huo Wujiu knew that he was joking and knew that he should have laughed along at this time.

However, when he let this man give him a look across from him, a single glance at his arrogant posture instantly drew his heart taut and rendered all his meridians a bit numb.

His throat rolled, and he couldn't help but chant a heart cleansing mantra deep down.

Jiang Suizhou failed to notice his strangeness. He burst out laughing, then sternly continued, "However, on the way back from the palace today, this Prince was thinking about one thing."

Huo Wujiu suppressed his thoughts and replied, "What is it?"

Jiang Suizhou said leisurely, "The rift between Jiang Shunheng and Pang Shao is a foregone conclusion, but will they one day reconcile?"

Huo Wujiu fell silent for a moment, then answered, "It's inevitable."

Jiang Suizhou nodded.

"This Prince thinks so too," he said, "First of all, Jiang Shunheng is simple minded and has been coddled by Pang Shao and Empress Dowager Pang since childhood. He trusts them very much. Secondly, although several of the Pang Shao related incidents hoodwinked Jiang Shunheng, they did not infringe on his throne. It won’t take long for Pang Shao to please him again."

Huo Wujiu hummed in response.

"Then what do you think?" he asked.

Jiang Suizhou replied, "It takes more than one cold day for the river to freeze three feet deep. It's impossible to accomplish something in one step. For the following days, it's enough for us to take a breather and a chance to expand our power and suppress Pang's party. Afterward... we need to counter every trick."

Huo Wujiu said, "By all means, make up your mind."

Jiang Suizhou nodded thoughtfully.

But Huo Wu Jiu, who slowly retracted his gaze, had a complicated expression.

Jiang Suizhou was right. Pang Shao would definitely regain the Hou Zhu's trust, but it would take some time. And the best way for him to gain trust...

Huo Wujiu raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Suizhou.

It was to attack the hated Jingwang.
