Although Huo Wujiu was a young and inexperienced boy, he more or less knew how to make a man happy.
There were many ways.
Jiang Suzhou didn't expect that he would be aroused. He hurriedly tried to escape, but was firmly held down. Although he didn't have anything important to do at this time, it was still broad daylight. It wasn't the time to do that kind of thing.
However, while he wanted to save face, Huo Wujiu didn't want it.
— Especially when he was stubbornly fighting for a breath of air, and when the two of them were tossing around, he was also aroused.
Therefore, by the time Huo Wujiu finally let him go, it was already more than two hours later.
The smell of the ambergris was mixed with some other smells. Just smelling it was enough to make people's ears burn. However, Jiang Suzhou didn't have the strength to burn. Leaning in Huo Wujiu's arms, he only felt that his hands were very sore.
Even his wrists seemed to have lost all feeling.
Jiang Suzhou weakly cursed in his heart.
It really didn't seem like something that could be produced by a human. Fortunately, he was only tasting it now. Otherwise, it would really take away his already weak life.
He didn't have any strength, but Huo Wujiu was very energetic.
Hugging Jiang Suizhou with one arm, he sat there with his head tilted to one side, looking very satisfied. He was not particular about it, and those messy turbid things were scattered all over the place by him, making a mess of things.
He lowered his head and only smiled with narrowed eyes as he kissed Jiang Suzhou.
"Prince, how am I serving you as a concubine?" He asked.
Jiang Suzhou closed his eyes and didn't bother to respond to him.
Serving? He was really a good concubine. Halfway through serving him, he was the one who got excited. He grabbed his hand and didn't let him escape. In the end, who was the one serving who?
Jiang Suzhou's sore and numb hands rested on his body. His eyes were full of disdain.
However, Huo Wujiu did not wait for his response.
He only cared about laughing, his voice low and cheerful. He held Jiang Suizhou in his arms and carelessly rubbed Jiang Suizhou's hands one moment, then moved his waist the next.
"Behave yourself." Jiang Suizhou finally opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse.
"Very well behaved." Huo Wujiu lowered his head and kissed the corner of his eyebrows.
Jiang Suzhou lifted his eyelids and turned his head away, too lazy to move.
He was indeed tired. Even though this was not a big movement, it was enough to exhaust his sickly body. On the other hand, Huo Wujiu, who was next to him, was full of energy. After a while, he carried him to the back of the room to rest. Then, he turned around and went to the imperial study to clean up the remaining memorials for him.
The ambergris in the palace hall was extremely soothing. Jiang Suizhou soon fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already late.
There were a few palace maids and eunuchs standing beside him. The one leading them was Meng Qianshan.
Seeing that Jiang Suzhou had woken up, Meng Qianshan hurriedly went forward and helped him sit up.
"Your Highness, you're awake?" he asked. "Before General Huo left, he instructed us to bring you back when you wake up."
"Leave?" Jiang Suzhou was still not fully awake. He rubbed his temples. "Where did he go?"
Meng Qianshan said, "Something happened outside the palace. He said it was very important. However, General Huo also said that he would not be back too late, so Your Highness did not have to wait. "
Jiang Suizhou chuckled softly when he heard that.
"He sure knows how to flatter himself." His words were not polite, but his tone was very gentle.
"Who wants to wait for him?"
— —
Huo Wujiu's matter was indeed very important.
After all, over the past few days, Pang Shao and his remaining accomplices had finally cleaned out everything. The amount of gold and silver that they had not confiscated was enough to fill up half of the national treasury.
The huge amount of gold and silver left everyone dumbfounded. With such a huge amount of gold and silver, no one else would dare to handle it except for Huo Wujiu.
That was why the ten thousand households had come to Huo Wujiu today. When Huo Wujiu received the news, he took care of the documents on Jiang Suzhou's table and left the palace. He went to the Pang residence to take inventory of the treasures.
Gold, silver, pearls, jade, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques almost filled the entire Pang residence.
Throughout history, corrupt officials did not dare to be too obvious. Even if they were extremely wealthy, they would still hide it.
However, the Pang residence was different.
Pang Shao was so fearless that he had piled up all the treasures in his residence and in a few storerooms. After all, at that time, other than the Emperor, no one else had more power than him. Not to mention, the Emperor was so close to him that he obeyed his every word. Naturally, he had nothing to fear.
Huo Wujiu went through all the accounts until the sky turned dark.
Therefore, after he had accounted for all the gold and silver, he used a portion of it as military expenditure and put the rest into the national treasury. Now, the national treasury had become his personal property. His future was uncertain, so all the gold and silver were to be used for the future of himself and his soldiers.
Apart from these, he waved his hand and set aside a huge sum of money to reward the soldiers. He had always been generous to his soldiers. In terms of money and food, he would give them the best they could get. He was never stingy.
Wei Kai was also very familiar with his style of doing things.
Huo Wujiu was very precise in his calculations. He helped Huo Wujiu distribute the gold and silver.
Wei Kai was very efficient in his work. He watched as the gold and silver in the accounts decreased bit by bit. Gradually, there was a place for the gold and silver to go.
In the end, there was still a sum of money left in the accounts.
This sum of money was only a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Pang residence's wealth. However, it was still a staggering sum of money. Huo Wujiu's hand stopped there. He muttered to himself for a moment and did not say anything.
However, Wei Kai asked excitedly, "General, what should we do with this sum of money?"
He was already used to it. Their general had never cared about money. All the spoils of war were used to make the best use of them. Their general never left a single cent behind.
When Wei Kai asked this question, he did not receive a response from their general.
Instead, he saw their general raise his head and look at him with a cold expression, his gaze unkind.
Then, their general flipped his hand and closed the account book.
"I have a use for the rest," Huo Wujiu said calmly.
Huh?
This was the first time this had happened since the beginning of time.
Wei Kai did not understand. "General?"
Huo Wujiu clicked his tongue impatiently.
"What? You don't want me to take advantage of this opportunity?" Huo Wujiu asked. He did not look worried, but he sounded very righteous.
Wei Kai was a little confused by his question. While he was still in a daze, his general stood up.
"Send someone to search the city later. Find out where there are book stores, auctions, and antique shops. Ask around," Huo Wujiu said.
This made Wei Kai even more speechless.
He hurriedly said, "This … General, we can only recognize a few words. We are not blind … What kind of books do you want? How are we supposed to find them?"
His question stumped Huo Wujiu.
He had kept the money purely for some unspeakable reasons.
He had always regarded money as nothing. After all, he had never been short of money since he was young. He had no concept of money and had no interest in it.
However, just now, when he saw all the rare treasures in Pang Shao's residence flowing past his eyes, he was tempted for the first time.
He wondered how that old thing, Pang Shao, was capable of gathering all the rare treasures in the world into his hands. On the other hand, Jiang Suizhou, who was clearly a relative of the imperial family, paled in comparison to this old thing.
He felt indignant. He felt that all these treasures should belong to Jiang Suzhou.
However, he also knew that Jiang Suzhou did not like these things.
He had spent all his money. The rare treasures, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques naturally went to the national treasury. Huo Wujiu began to feel anxious as the pile of treasures in front of him gradually emptied out.
The national treasury was full, and the soldiers' salaries were abundant. Even his soldiers were going to have a good meal tonight and get a share of the rewards. However, his family in Jiang Suzhou still had nothing!
Thus, Huo Wujiu grabbed the last sum of money in his hand.
He had to buy something for Jiang Suzhou.
What did he like? Huo Wujiu immediately thought of Jiang Suzhou's attentive, quiet, and tranquil appearance when he usually read books.
It was also because of this that he had made such a request to Wei Kai.
However, when Wei Kai asked, he had no idea.
What book did he want to buy? Wei Kai did not know. Did he know?
Huo Wujiu was silent for a long time. Finally, he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry about the content," he said. "Pick the most expensive one. Pick the most expensive one in the world."

That night, when Huo Wujiu returned to the palace, it was just past the second night watch period.
He went straight to Jiang Suzhou's sleeping quarters. When he entered, he saw Jiang Suzhou sitting under the window with a robe draped over his shoulders. He was deep in thought as he faced a game of chess. Light smoke curled up from the tea beside his hand. Amidst the dense aroma of the tea, Jiang Suzhou's peaceful and quiet eyes could be seen.
Huo Wujiu felt as if his breathing had stopped.
Jiang Suzhou heard the sound of footsteps. He raised his head and looked at him. "You're back?"
When their eyes met, Huo Wujiu's mind untimely thought of Jiang Suzhou being pressed into his arms today. Her face was red and her eyes were watery.
He cleared his throat. He was a little hesitant to move. After a while, he walked forward with an ulterior motive and sat across from Jiang Suzhou.
"Yes," he said. "I'm done."
Jiang Suzhou saw Huo Wujiu sit down in front of the chessboard as soon as he entered. He lowered his eyes and focused on the game. He thought that Huo Wujiu was interested in the game.
He raised his hand to let Meng Qianshan serve Huo Wujiu tea. He continued, "You like this too? It just so happens that I don't have a clue about this game. Help me take a look. "
Huo Wujiu stared at the chessboard.
Of course, he wasn't interested in it. In the past, his father had beaten him half to death in order to force him to learn how to play chess. Even then, he hadn't succeeded.
He stared at the chessboard purely because he couldn't look at Jiang Suzhou. That person was extremely seductive. Huo Wujiu had just tasted two mouthfuls of meat. If he looked at her one more time, he would be in trouble.
However, it was useless not to look.
Huo Wujiu stared at the intertwined black and white chess pieces on the chessboard. What appeared in his mind was Jiang Suzhou's white, jade-like neck under the heavy black dress.
Huo Wujiu's breathing became heavy.
Opposite him, Jiang Suzhou's eyes were fixed on Huo Wujiu, who was staring at the chessboard and deep in thought.
Huo Wujiu's eyebrows were sharp to begin with. At this moment, his expression was solemn. His eyes were focused and serious. Under the shadow of the lamp, he was full of fierceness and solemnity. He had a fatal attraction.
He always looked good when he was serious. Jiang Suzhou thought to himself.
Huo Wujiu was silent for a long time. His hand landed on the black chess piece cup. He picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard with a clack.
He clearly looked indifferent, but he had the aura of a person who was full of vigor and vigor.
For a moment, under Huo Wujiu's hands, the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were like mountains and rivers beyond the Great Wall where two armies faced each other.
As soon as the chess piece was placed, it was like a general in front of a battle array waving the commander's flag. Immediately, thousands of soldiers and horses galloped past.
Jiang Suzhou hurriedly looked at the chessboard.
The black and white chess pieces were in a stalemate. The two sides were biting at each other as if they were strangling each other's throats. At this moment, every move was extremely crucial and exciting. Often, the difference of one chess piece could take the opponent's life and seal the victory … Hmm?
Jiang Suzhou was taken aback.
He saw that the black chess piece on the chessboard, which was originally fierce and fierce, changed its momentum because of Huo Wujiu's chess piece. It plunged into the encirclement of the white chess pieces and surrendered.
Jiang Suzhou was dumbfounded.
He looked up at Huo Wujiu, only to see that Huo Wujiu also looked up at him.
Huo Wujiu was stroking a chess piece with one hand. His expression was calm and his eyes were calm. However, the words that came out of his mouth were extremely confusing.
"It's time to sleep," Huo Wujiu said.
Jiang Suzhou was taken aback. Then, he looked out the window. It was indeed late at night.
"Yes," he said and looked at Huo Wujiu.
However, he saw that Huo Wujiu was still sitting there, motionless.
Jiang Suzhou was even more confused.
What was wrong with this person … He urged him to go to sleep, but refused to leave?
