Huo Wujiu went back very late that night.
Even if he didn't want to face it, he still had to deal with the trivial matters that were sent to him.
Many things could happen in a single day in Lin 'an, not to mention the entire Nanjing. No matter how perfunctory Huo Wujiu was, by the time he finished all the documents on the table, the moon was already high in the sky.
When he stood up, he felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.
He rarely felt this way. Even if he had been marching and riding for several days, he had never felt so tired.
But he didn't expect that sitting motionless for an entire day would also kill him.
He stood in place with some annoyance. He stretched his sore shoulders and neck a few times before turning around and leaving the imperial study.
The night outside was very cold.
The carriage had been parked outside the hall for a long time. The palace was big, and everywhere was far away. If he walked alone, an ordinary master who lived like a prince wouldn't be able to walk.
But Huo Wujiu only glanced at it, then bypassed the carriage and walked back.
He had been sitting all day, and his waist and back were sore. At this moment, he felt a little disgusted when he saw the chair. If he really let them carry him back, he was afraid that all the bones in his body would fall apart.
Huo Wujiu strode back.
The people behind him couldn't keep up with his footsteps, so they all trotted along. When Huo Wujiu finally walked back to the palace where he lived, the people behind him were already panting.
Huo Wujiu walked all the way to the gate of Jiang Suizhou. He stopped, but didn't go in.
Wei Kai, who was behind him, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General?"
Huo Wujiu frowned. "What time is it?"
Wei Kai said, "There's still half an hour before the third watch period."
Huo Wujiu clicked his tongue in annoyance and turned to leave.
Wei Kai hurriedly followed. "General, where are you going?"
Huo Wujiu didn't even turn his head. "Back to sleep."
His voice sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.
Wei Kai hurriedly said, "Didn't you say this morning that you were going to visit His Highness Prince Jing tonight?"
Huo Wujiu gritted his teeth and thought to himself, 'This kid really knows how to touch a sore spot.'
Of course, he wanted to see Jiang Suizhou. He spent the whole day in the imperial study for nothing. The booklet was filled with words, making him dizzy and his back sore. He had been enduring the pain of being cut by a blunt knife. Wasn't it because he wanted to take a few more glances at Jiang Suizhou?
But now that it was so late, he was afraid to disturb his rest in Jiang Suizhou.
Huo Wujiu's body was weak to begin with, and the illness he had left behind had not been completely cleared. Now that he was injured, Huo Wujiu could not sit still when he thought about the suffering he had suffered all day.
At this time, he would rather go back and toss and turn all night than go to Jiang Suizhou and wake him up.
Hearing Wei Kai's inconsiderate words, he was a bit annoyed. He turned around and was about to say something when he saw Meng Qianshan pushing open the door and coming out of the hall.
Meng Qianshan was carrying a basin. He was about to come out and do some work, but he was startled when he saw Huo Wujiu standing at the bottom of the stairs and about to leave.
"General Huo?" Meng Qianshan quickly called out to him. "Why aren't you going in?"
Huo Wujiu turned around and looked up at Meng Qianshan. "I'm not going in. Help your prince sleep."
Meng Qianshan was a bit confused.
"His Highness is still awake. He's waiting for you!" He said.
Wei Kai was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and was about to call out for the general, but he felt a gust of wind in front of him. It was cold and sharp.
He looked over and saw that their general had already walked into the hall.
The general's figure was still steady. From behind, he looked dignified and reliable. He was not in a hurry at all.
However, if he were to walk up the stairs a little slower, instead of running like this, he might be able to show a more stable aura.

Huo Wujiu walked into the hall and turned into the sleeping quarters. He saw Jiang Suizhou leaning against the bed and reading a book. He was yawning again and again.
He was holding a book loosely in his hand, but the book was already tilted to the side. It was obvious that he was sleepy and dizzy.
Huo Wujiu took a few steps forward and took the book from his hand.
"What are you reading when you're so sleepy?" He seemed a bit unhappy, but his tone was soft.
Jiang Suizhou jumped in fright when the book in his hand was suddenly taken away. He looked up and saw Huo Wujiu wrapped in the cool night air.
He laughed softly.
"No, didn't you say this morning that you were coming back tonight?"
He slowly reached out and took the book from Huo Wujiu's hand. He tidied it up and put it to the side. "Why are you back so late? Did you just finish?"
The candles in the room burned brightly, giving people a warm feeling. Jiang Suizhou was so sleepy that his voice was a bit hoarse. His tone was also softer than usual.
It was just a few simple sentences, but a strange feeling rose in Huo Wujiu's heart. He had never felt this way before. After all, he had been fighting outside for many years. He had never experienced the feeling of being waited for to come home.
It actually made the tiredness and irritation that he had felt for the entire day disappear like smoke in thin air.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to search for Jiang Suizhou's hand.
"I had a lot of things to do, so I'm a bit late." He held Jiang Suizhou's hand in his palm and rubbed it. "I only said that I was coming. I didn't say that I didn't want you to sleep. What's there to wait for?"
His tone was serious, but Jiang Suizhou could tell that he was not speaking from his heart.
Jiang Suizhou did not reply. Instead, he leaned on the bed and laughed. His eyes were full of smiles as he looked quietly at Huo Wujiu.
Huo Wujiu's heart thumped wildly.
He gritted his teeth, leaned forward, and gently bit Jiang Suizhou's lips as if he was familiar with the first time.
"What's so funny?" He said in a low voice.
Jiang Suizhou dodged to the side, which allowed Huo Wujiu to catch up. It was just a simple bite, but it gradually turned into a tangle of lips and teeth.
Huo Wujiu had no experience at all. He only followed his instincts. He did not know how to hold back and was very reckless. After a while, Jiang Suizhou could not catch his breath. He raised his hand and pushed Huo Wujiu.
Huo Wujiu knew that Huo Wujiu was injured, so he did not dare to be stubborn. He let Huo Wujiu push him twice and sat back down.
Jiang Suizhou was busy trying to catch his breath. Huo Wujiu sat there and stared at Huo Wujiu. The corners of his mouth were curled up, and he looked proud and arrogant.
Jiang Suizhou glanced at Huo Wujiu. He felt lucky that Huo Wujiu did not have a tail. Otherwise, Huo Wujiu would be very proud.
However, he could see that Huo Wujiu's expression was completely different from when he entered the room.
Jiang Suizhou could guess what was going on.
Seeing that Jiang Suizhou was looking at him, Huo Wujiu reached out for a yard after getting an inch and leaned forward to bite him.
Huo Wujiu was addicted to this kind of thing the first time.
Jiang Suizhou could not push Huo Wujiu away, so he let Huo Wujiu kiss him again. After the kiss, Huo Wujiu leaned against Huo Wujiu's shoulder and was firmly held in his arms.
"Don't mess around anymore," Jiang Suizhou reprimanded him softly while panting.
Huo Wujiu agreed seriously. Before he finished speaking, he had already lowered his head and kissed Huo Wujiu lightly on the lips.
He was very presumptuous and looked as if he had nothing to fear.
Jiang Suizhou could not be bothered to argue with Huo Wujiu, so he let Huo Wujiu hug him.
After a while, he asked, "Were the things you handled today very troublesome?"
Huo Wujiu paused.
Of course they were troublesome. Huo Wujiu had never dealt with civil officials in his life. These people were not prisoners of war, so they could not be killed. Moreover, they might be of use in the future.
However, a change of dynasty had always been the most unacceptable thing for them. Even if they did not die, they would never settle down. Speaking of Lin 'an alone, within one day three urgent letters were sent, all from Tai Chang Fu, saying that when Qi Min daren heard that the Emperor was killed by Huo Wujiu, he wanted to ram the swords and sabers of the defending army, asking them to give the civil and military officials a quick death. If they wanted to kill or cut, they could do it, but there was no need to keep them alive to be humiliated.
Huo Wujiu naturally felt a headache coming on.
But at this moment, he was holding Jiang Suizhou in his arms. There were only a few thin clothes between the two of them.
Huo Wujiu's warm body temperature and undulating breathing were continuously transmitted to him. This made Huo Wujiu feel that these messy things were not so difficult to deal with, and there was no need to bother Jiang Suizhou.
"It's just a little trivial," he said. "Nothing else."
Jiang Suizhou only felt that he was stubborn.
He was about to look up at Huo Wujiu, but Huo Wujiu seemed to have noticed his intentions. He raised his hand and pressed him back into his arms, hugging him tightly.
"What, you still don't trust me?" Huo Wujiu asked.
Jiang Suizhou said, "No, it's just that they are a little difficult to deal with, and you are from Beiliang …"
Hearing what he said, Huo Wujiu was alarmed.
Jiang Suizhou's words meant that he wanted to help him deal with it.
Really … he had just been injured for two days. Why did he care about these messy things?
Huo Wujiu refused.
"It's fine," he said. "Even the old officials of Nanjing are just a group of scholars. I kept their lives because I could deal with them. "
Jiang Suizhou hurriedly said, "You can't kill people randomly."
Huo Wujiu clicked his tongue.
"Am I that kind of person in your eyes?" He lowered his eyes and asked.
Jiang Suizhou laughed gloomily.
"Of course not," he said. "It's just that those scholars tend to speak harshly when they are anxious. I'm afraid that you will be angry with them."
Huo Wujiu gently pinched his face.
"Then don't worry," he said. "I'm afraid that if I accidentally kill someone, I won't be able to explain it to you when I come back."
At this point, he lowered his head, and his lips gently touched Jiang Suizhou's hair.
"Anyway, don't worry. Just focus on recovering," he said. "If I can conquer this place, why can't I take care of it? If I can't, I'll just fight again. "
The latter half of his sentence was clearly a light joke. Jiang Suizhou laughed.
"Okay, I know you can fight," he said.
The two of them talked in bits and pieces, and the night gradually deepened. Jiang Suizhou got tired easily after drinking the medicine. As they talked, he gradually became sleepy again.
Huo Wujiu acutely sensed it.
He didn't say anything, and only gradually lowered his voice. After a while, the sound of even and subtle breathing came from his arms.
Huo Wujiu carefully lowered his head, and what he saw was Jiang Suizhou's sleeping face.
He quietly leaned in his arms, sleeping soundly.
This realization made Huo Wujiu's entire heart go numb, a little itchy, and a little limp.
This was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his twenty-odd years of life. He had always been arrogant, but for the first time, he had the thought of taking someone for himself, but he didn't dare to move forward.
And now, all of his dreams and fantasies had become reality.
He had finally taken this person into his arms, and naturally, he couldn't bear to let him suffer even a little bit more.
He would block all of it behind him, whether he was good at it or not.
