Since they didn't have to travel with the honor guards of the future emperor, their return journey was much faster.
When night fell, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the prince's estate.
Jiang Suzhou was already sleeping soundly.
He was already sick, and the carriage was shaking violently. He was dizzy all the way back to the prince's estate and couldn't differentiate between north and south.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Meng Qianshan hurriedly ran inside and asked someone to call for a doctor. Huo Wujiu sat in his wheelchair and watched as the servants helped Jiang Suzhou out of the carriage and placed him on the carriage.
Huo Wujiu felt a little empty.
Perhaps it was because he had been hugging someone in his arms all day, but he felt warm. Moreover, that person was nestled in his arms like a little beast. Her warm breaths were all on his chest.
Now that the night wind was blowing, the warm half of his body suddenly felt a little cold.
Huo Wujiu sat in his original position and didn't move until Wei Kai came forward to push his wheelchair.
He heard Meng Qianshan's voice in front of him, "Your Highness?"
Huo Wujiu immediately looked in that direction.
He saw Jiang Suzhou on the carriage say something, and Meng Qianshan repeatedly looked in Huo Wujiu's direction. Then, Huo Wujiu heard Meng Qianshan say, "Your Highness, don't worry. Madame Huo is here."
Huo Wujiu's hand on the wheelchair tightened.
… What an idiot.
The group hurriedly sent Jiang Suzhou back to Anyin Hall. Wei Kai pushed Huo Wujiu into the courtyard behind them.
Anyin Hall was already brightly lit. The servant girls in the courtyard hurriedly walked to and fro, all of them heading towards the main room.
"Li Changning has already gone. General, don't worry," Wei Kai saw that Huo Wujiu kept looking in that direction and comforted him in a low voice.
However, Huo Wujiu said, "Let's go and take a look."
Wei Kai knew where he wanted to go, so he didn't object. He just obediently pushed Huo Wujiu's wheelchair into the main room.
Everyone in the room was busy. Because the Prince was always sick, the servant girls and manservants were all experienced. At this time, they were orderly.
Huo Wujiu raised his hand and waved Wei Kai away. He then pushed his wheelchair back to his bedroom in Jiang Suizhou.
The servants didn't bother to greet him, and he didn't want to add to the chaos. He just quietly stopped in a corner near the bed and watched Li Changning treat Jiang Suizhou.
The room was brightly lit, much brighter than the carriage. Therefore, Huo Wujiu could clearly see that Jiang Suzhou's face was burning red.
For some reason, Huo Wujiu suddenly remembered the day when he first arrived at Prince Jing's Estate.
At that time, he was covered in injuries. No one in the prison could treat his injuries, so he could only hang on to his last breath in the cold and damp prison. He was sent to Prince Jing's Estate. He knew the reason and was prepared to be humiliated again.
However, what he expected didn't happen. Instead, he met Prince Jing, who was watching over him under the lamp when he was injured and had a high fever.
… … He was really stupid.
He never asked him to do anything for him. Even if the two of them were on opposing sides, he had always been the type of person who wouldn't offend others unless they offended him. He wouldn't really blame Jiang Sunheng, an idle prince who couldn't resist Jiang Sunheng's orders.
However, this person insisted on giving him everything. He was also very naive. He didn't know that if he put in too much effort, the other party would have feelings that he shouldn't have.
Huo Wujiu quietly looked at him for a moment.
However, it wasn't that he shouldn't have these kinds of feelings.
After all, when he looked at this person right now, he only felt that this person was very lovable. No one would dislike him. It served him right that he fell for him.
Huo Wujiu couldn't take his eyes off him at all.
Li Changning straightened up and quickly glanced at him in the corner. Then, as if he didn't see him, he turned around and looked at Meng Qianshan.
Meng Qianshan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Doctor Li, how is the Prince?"
Li Changning sighed and said, "Don't worry, Gonggong. The Prince just caught a cold. It's been a while, so he's unconscious. Let this old man prescribe some medicine for the Prince. He'll be fine after a few days of rest. "
Meng Qianshan let out a long sigh and repeatedly chanted Buddha's name.
Then, he asked Li Changning to go to the side and prescribe the medicine. The servants in the room gradually retreated after helping Jiang Suizhou tidy things up.
Huo Wujiu slowly moved to the side of the bed. He reached out and touched Jiang Suizhou's face with the back of his hand.
It was still hot. It was very hot and very pitiful.
Huo Wujiu didn't say anything for a moment. However, Meng Qianshan, who was next to him, had sharp eyes and came forward.
"Madam Huo?" He said. "Don't worry, the Prince is fine."
Huo Wujiu responded.
Meng Qianshan looked at him for a moment and knew what he was going to do. Madam Huo was staying by the bed until the prince woke up, wasn't she?
Although Meng Qianshan was happy for the Prince, he didn't dare to trouble his master.
He hurriedly said, "The Prince's medicine is about to be boiled. Madam, don't worry. However, the Prince ordered this morning that he would ask Doctor Li to take a look at you when he returned. It's late now. Madam, why don't you go back to your room and wait for a while? There's a servant here. "
Huo Wujiu silently looked at Jiang Suizhou for a while.
Normally, he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to Meng Qianshan. However, he had no choice but to listen to him.
It was all because of the person in front of him.
He had made himself sick just for the small wound on his shoulder.
There were many people in the main room. If others saw his injury, they would be suspicious. Therefore, if he didn't go back, he wouldn't have a chance to bandage it. When he woke up the next day …
He would be unhappy.
Huo Wujiu's stubbornness, which no one could persuade, silently disappeared when he thought about it.
After a while, Meng Qianshan's heart was in his throat. He was waiting to persuade Huo Wujiu again when he heard Huo Wujiu's voice.
"Let's go," he said.
There was a subtle hint of compromise in his tone.

After this day, Wei Kai suddenly understood his general's feelings towards Prince Jing.
He had only heard rumors about men having that kind of relationship with each other. However, he only treated it as a joke. He never thought that there would be a man who would fall in love with another man. Moreover, it was his general who fell in love with Prince Jing.
Wei Kai was greatly shocked. However, after returning to Lin 'an from the hunting grounds, he couldn't bring himself to dislike Prince Jing.
After all, Prince Jing treated his general very well. That day, when his general was humiliated by Pang Shao, it was Prince Jing who saved him in time and covered up the fact that his legs had recovered. After that, Prince Jing suddenly fell ill and their general happened to be able to go back to Lin 'an for treatment. He also knew that it wasn't a coincidence.
Although Prince Jing was the younger brother of that dog of an emperor, Wei Kai also knew that he should repay his kindness.
Secondly …
In his opinion, it was obvious that Prince Jing had no interest in his general at all! It was his general who had charmed tens of thousands of young girls at Yang Pass. When he looked at Prince Jing, it was as if he wanted to eat him up.
In all fairness, Wei Kai felt that his general was quite inhumane.
Prince Jing treated him as a friend, but what about him? He actually had that kind of … that kind of feeling towards Prince Jing!
However, although Wei Kai criticized him in his heart, he still protected his general and felt sorry for him.
Their general had been single for more than twenty years. It was the first time he had fallen in love with someone, let alone getting married. However, he saw that ever since his general returned to the prince's estate, he had been looking forward to the stars and the moon. He sat in his room with a cold face and didn't say anything. However, Prince Jing didn't even come to see him.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have come to see him.
After all, they had returned to the prince's estate. He and Li Changning naturally wouldn't let their general get hurt. However, it wasn't a matter of whether their general needed someone to take care of him or not. It was a matter of whether their general … could see his sweetheart.
However, Prince Jing didn't come for a long time. Only Prince Jing's eunuch came once. When he saw that their general was fine, he was about to leave.
Their general finally opened his mouth to speak.
"How's your prince doing?" the general asked.
The eunuch hurriedly replied, "He's doing well! Doctor Li's medical skills are excellent. After a few doses of medicine, the prince has almost recovered! Right now, his foundation is still a bit weak, but he can already move around freely! "
Huo Wujiu paused for a moment.
"That's good," he said slowly, pausing between each word.
Wei Kai was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
His general almost had the words "Then why didn't he come to see me" written all over his face.
However, the eunuch seemed to be busy with something and didn't notice their general's expression. He smiled, bowed, and left.
The moment the door closed, a shadow fell on their general's face. Wei Kai's heart also turned cold.
He hurriedly went up to them.
However, before he could say anything, he saw their general sitting there. After a long silence, he frowned and rubbed his forehead.
"Wei Kai," he said.
Wei Kai hurriedly replied, "General?"
His general paused, then said hesitantly, "… Help me think, how did I make him angry?"
His tone was actually 20% doubtful and 30% careful, making Wei Kai feel that his general had been taken over by someone else.
He couldn't hold it in any longer.
"… General," he said. "If you really want to see him, why don't you take the initiative to look for him?"

Jiang Suzhou did have some thoughts of avoiding Huo Wujiu.
He didn't forget the thoughts he had when he was sick that day after he woke up. He woke up early in the morning, and his fever had subsided. However, when he stared at his bed curtains, his mind was filled with thoughts of Huo Wujiu.
He actually … he actually had feelings for Huo Wujiu.
Jiang Suzhou felt that he had pretended to be gay for so long that it was an illusion. However, no matter how he thought about it, he still didn't have any feelings for men. Only Huo Wujiu, when he thought of him, seemed to make his heart beat faster.
… What a sin!
For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He only felt guilty and panicked. For a moment, he didn't know how to face Huo Wujiu. He also didn't dare to face himself. When he thought of him and saw him, his heart beat wildly. He simply pretended to be an ostrich, closed the door, and didn't see him for a few days.
Although running away was useless, it could at least delay and allow him to temporarily not face the problem directly.
It was soon May.
In these few days, he didn't go. As expected, Huo Wujiu didn't come looking for him.
It had always been like this. Huo Wujiu's personality was cold, and his legs were "inconvenient," so he stayed in his room all day. It was always him who took the initiative to look for him. Now that he was also avoiding him, the two of them really couldn't see each other.
Jiang Suzhou rejoiced, but he also felt a little sour.
After all, the feeling of unrequited love was uncomfortable no matter how one looked at it.
Therefore, Jiang Suzhou was also tired these few days. He didn't need to go to the yamen, so he shut himself in his room and slept. The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May was considered a big day. However, because he was sick, the estate was deserted. The festive atmosphere in the city also didn't drift to Imperial Prince Jing's Estate.
Until this day.
He was almost fully recovered. After waking up from his afternoon nap, he leaned against the headboard and read a book. The servants in the room had all been dismissed. For a moment, it was quiet and peaceful. Only the rustling of the trees in the courtyard could be heard.
Gradually, the sun began to set.
At this moment, he heard the sound of the room door opening. He thought it was Meng Qianshan. He flipped through a page of the book and didn't even raise his head.
"What's the matter?" He asked lazily.
Then, he heard Huo Wujiu's voice.
"It's me."
Jiang Suzhou's entire body froze.
He froze in place and didn't dare to raise his head.
For a moment, he just wanted to immediately bury his head in the quilt so that he could hide all his secret thoughts and not let Huo Wujiu find out.
