Huo Wujiu didn't know why this Imperial Prince Jing, who had obviously suffered a setback outside and came home drunk, would have the time to care about whether his leg hurt or not.
However, at this moment, this person was lying limply in his arms. His eyes were unfocused as he stared at him drunkenly. This immediately made his heart soften, as if someone had gently poked him in his ribs.
It was as if this person had also made him a little drunk.
He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Jiang Suizhou was still staring at him, "But it's raining outside."
Huo Wujiu took a deep breath.
This was the first time he felt that a drunk person could be so difficult to deal with, but it was also the first time he felt that this person was so difficult to deal with, yet not annoying at all.
He patiently said slowly, "That's why you're wet. Get up and change your clothes. "
Jiang Suizhou paused for a moment, then said in hindsight, "Oh … I'm wet."
He casually pressed down on Huo Wujiu's shoulder and tried to stand up with all his strength. However, once a drunk person lost their strength, it was difficult to regain it. Thus, he tried several times, but it was all in vain.
He went back and forth, but it was as if he was acting coquettishly in Huo Wujiu's arms.
Huo Wujiu's expression gradually became a little unsightly.
Suddenly, Jiang Suizhou felt his arm being forcefully grasped. The person lifted him up and directly lifted him up.
Then, the person supported him with one hand and used the other hand to control the wheelchair. He supported him all the way to the bed, then held him up with one hand and pressed him down to sit on the bed.
"Change your clothes first," the person said.
Jiang Suizhou was carried by the person all the way. He felt dizzy, and when he sat down on the bed, he couldn't tell north from south.
However, he was obedient. When he heard Huo Wujiu's words, he clumsily took off his wet robe and casually threw it on the ground.
"It's not that wet …" He muttered softly as he took off his clothes.
After doing this, he had no more strength left. He leaned to the side and leaned weakly against the bedpost.
Huo Wujiu saw that his inner clothes were dry and assumed that he wouldn't catch a cold, so he didn't force him any further. His hand pressed the wheelchair and he was about to return to his own couch.
Jiang Suzhou, who was leaning against the bed, sighed softly.
It was very soft, but one could hear the tiredness and blankness that he wanted to hide.
Huo Wujiu's hand paused, and the hand that was about to shake the wooden wheel also stopped in place.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Suizhou.
She saw Jiang Suzhou lying on his side with his forehead resting on the bed frame. His eyes were downcast, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Under the warm lights, the surroundings were extremely quiet. This person was clearly sitting in his territory, but he seemed to be floating in the void, with no one to rely on.
"… What's wrong?" Huo Wujiu, who never liked to meddle in other people's business, suddenly asked.
Jiang Suzhou paused for a moment before he realized that Huo Wujiu was talking to him.
He opened his eyes. Under the candlelight, his eyes were glistening.
"I harmed someone." When he said this, his voice was a little choked up. "He was framed because of me."
Huo Wujiu probably knew who he was referring to. After all, he was also present when Meng Qianshan ran in this morning.
"It has nothing to do with you." Huo Wujiu said.
Even though he had been in the military for many years, he knew that there would always be some innocent people who would be sacrificed in the struggle to frame people in the imperial court. Even if that person wasn't sacrificed because of Jiang Suzhou, it would be extremely difficult for him to always protect himself.
Jiang Suzhou shook his head.
"It's my fault." He said. "I must save him."
When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He blinked his eyes, and a tear suddenly rolled down from his eye.
Huo Wujiu panicked for no reason. His hands and feet were a little cramped.
As the tear fell, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed tightly. His hands, which had been resting on his knees, clenched into fists.
"If you want to save him, then save him. Why are you crying?" Huo Wujiu said.
After a pause, he said, "Don't tell me you don't know how to save him?"
Although he didn't know much about the imperial court in Nanjing, cases of corruption had always been very flexible. After all, the flow of money had to pass through many people's hands. It wasn't too difficult to save a person who had been slandered.
Jiang Suzhou shook his head and looked up at Huo Wujiu.
He didn't seem to notice that he was crying. At this moment, he looked at Huo Wujiu with teary eyes. He didn't even wipe away the tears on his face.
Huo Wujiu's chest felt a little stuffy from being stared at like this. However, for some reason, his heart became inexplicably active. One beat after another, it was beating especially fiercely.
After staring at Huo Wujiu for a while, Jiang Suzhou sighed softly.
"Huo Wujiu, when will your leg recover?"
Huo Wujiu's face was expressionless. Only his clenched jaw revealed some emotions.
… A person who drank too much spoke incoherently.
One moment, he said that he wanted to save an unrelated person. The next moment, he wanted his leg to recover. When this person drank too much, it was as if he wanted to meddle in the affairs of the world.
However, when it came to meddling in other people's business, he didn't find it annoying.
He seemed to have gotten used to this silly rabbit's stupidity of putting himself first in everything.
After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and used his rough knuckles to wipe away the tears on Jiang Suzhou's face.
It was as if he wanted to wipe away all the things that worried him.
"That's enough," he said. "Go to sleep."
— —
After drinking too much, Jiang Suzhou was very obedient even though he was a little dizzy. Huo Wujiu told him to sleep, so he lay down obediently. He allowed Huo Wujiu to pull down the bed curtain for him and turn off the lights in the room.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Suzhou's mind was still in a mess. How great would it be if Huo Wujiu's leg recovered immediately?
He would be able to kill Pang Shao quickly and change the course of history so that this person's death would come sooner.
With this thought, Jiang Suzhou fell asleep dizzily.
He slept quite deeply. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.
The sunlight shone on Jiang Suzhou's face, causing him to squint his eyes. He only felt a slight headache. When he sat up, he was still a little dizzy.
… … He really did drink too much yesterday.
His memory stopped at the time when he was still in the wine shop. When the cold wind blew at him when he went out, his memory was blacked out. He sat on the bed and rubbed his head. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember how he returned to the residence yesterday.
At this moment, Meng Qianshan came in.
Seeing that Jiang Suzhou was awake, Meng Qianshan hurriedly ordered a maid to bring him some hangover soup. He hurriedly went forward to welcome him, "Your Highness, you're awake?"
Jiang Suzhou rubbed his temples and nodded.
Meng Qianshan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? It's still early. You can sleep a little longer. The Ministry of Rites is currently investigating the case. The officials from the Ministry of Justice came early this morning to report that Your Highness doesn't need to be on duty today. "
Hearing the words' Ministry of Rites', Jiang Suzhou paused and shook his head.
"I'm not going to sleep." He said.
Meng Qianshan hurriedly complied. He took the hangover soup from the maid beside him and brought it to Jiang Suzhou's side.
"Your Highness, drink this soup first." He said.
Jiang Suzhou complied and took the hangover soup.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of the soup, his mind became clearer and his vision wasn't as blurry as before.
He began to quietly think about Ji You's matter.
Ji You was imprisoned because of him, so he couldn't ignore it. However, he was weak now and didn't have many people he could rely on. Now that Pang Shao's spearhead was pointed at Ji You, the enemy was strong and he was weak. This was a very difficult matter to deal with.
Therefore, he had to find an advantage that he could use. He had to try his best to strike from the shadows and catch the enemy off guard.
If that was the case … he might have to use the two 'concubines' in his residence.
Gu Changyun seemed to be very smart. Although he wasn't loyal, he had something on him. Xu Du had already talked to him frankly and even helped him raise some men of sacrifice. If he wanted to strike from the shadows, these people might be useful …
At this moment, Jiang Suzhou heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling around.
He looked up and saw that Huo Wujiu had just finished washing up and was coming out from the back room. There were some water droplets on his forehead. Under the sunlight, they looked shiny.
Seeing that Jiang Suzhou was looking at him, Huo Wujiu turned his head and calmly looked him in the eye.
"You're awake?" He heard Huo Wujiu ask.
Yes … when he came back drunk yesterday, he didn't even know what he had done. However, Huo Wujiu had been in this room the whole time. Presumably, he knew what he had done yesterday.
Jiang Suzhou felt a little uneasy and uncertain. He cautiously looked at Huo Wujiu's expression.
He didn't say anything that he shouldn't have, right?
Perhaps it was because the sun was good today, but when he looked at Huo Wujiu's expressionless face, he felt that he was in a good mood.
Presumably, he didn't provoke him yesterday.
With this, Jiang Suzhou felt relieved. Meng Qianshan helped him change his clothes and wash off the smell of alcohol on his body. Only then did he sit down comfortably at the table.
Huo Wujiu sat across from him.
The two of them had lived together for a few days. They had developed a natural tacit understanding on such small matters. The sun was shining brightly outside the window. The two of them silently ate their breakfast. For a moment, there was a sense of tranquility and warmth.
Because Jiang Suzhou had drunk wine, his appetite wasn't very good. He only ate half a bowl of porridge, then put down his chopsticks.
Meng Qianshan hurriedly came forward and handed him a copper basin to wash his hands with. He asked, "Your Highness, will you be going to the yamen or the study later?"
Jiang Suzhou muttered to himself for a moment. He remembered his plan this morning.
There was no time to lose.
"I'm not going to either." He said. "Send someone to Gu Changyun's room right now. Tell him that this prince will go to his room in a moment and have him prepare."
This … this early in the morning?
Meng Qianshan cautiously glanced at Jiang Suzhou, then his gaze drifted to Huo Wujiu's face. He cautiously responded and left.
Jiang Suzhou picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
But before the tea could enter his mouth, he heard a crisp "dang" sound. The sound wasn't loud, but it was very sudden. Jiang Suzhou's hand trembled in fright.
He looked up and saw Huo Wujiu expressionlessly put down his bowl. He turned his wheelchair around and walked away expressionlessly.
… He's not eating anymore?
Jiang Suzhou looked at the bowl on the table.
Huo Wujiu's appetite had always been good. Usually, he would never waste the rice in his bowl. But today, more than half of the porridge was left in his bowl. The main dishes and dishes on the table were also clearly only half eaten.
He turned his head in surprise and looked at Huo Wujiu, who had just entered his bedroom.
Just now, he thought that he was in a good mood. Why did he suddenly pull a long face and look like someone had provoked him?
