After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 67

Jiang Suizhou was talking to Li Changning casually, but he couldn't help thinking about Huo Wujiu on the bed.

A few moments later, he made up his mind.

I'm already here. What else is there to be ashamed of?

With this in mind, he raised his hand, stopping Li Changning from speaking.

Li Changning was describing to Jiang Suizhou what blood vessels his acupuncture method could penetrate and what effects it would have, when he was interrupted. He looked up at Jiang Suizhou.

He saw Jingwang stand up and walk over to the bed.

"How are you? Do you feel better?" He heard Jingwang ask.

Li Changning couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but he felt that when Jingwang spoke to General Huo, his tone was a little milder than just now.

Then he heard General Huo on the bed giving a hum. His voice was a little mute, but it sounded smooth.

At this turn, Jingwang must definitely not see what kind of pain the General was enduring at this time.

Sure enough, Jingwang followed with a response.

Li Changning heaved a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, he saw Jingwang's back stiffen.

Immediately after that, he heard Jingwang's voice, like falling into an ice cellar.

"Why is his face so pale?"

It wasn't until Jiang Suizhou walked closer that he discovered how abnormally white Huo Wujiu's lips were. The latter’s forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat. Huo Wujiu's eyes were shut at the moment, and only when he walked in did he realise it as an afterthought, struggling to open his eyes to look at him, still with that expressionless look.

But Jiang Suizhou could see at a glance that he was holding out despite the pain.

Jiang Suizhou was so startled that he hastily dragged Li Changning over. Li Changning stepped forward trembling, checked Huo Wujiu's pulse and said, "Your Highness, there will be some pain after the acupuncture. This is normal."

Jiang Suizhou didn't believe a word of it.

"Normal?" He questioned in a cold voice. "Then why didn't you tell me just now?"

What was more, he didn't believe that this was only a 'little pain'. Huo Wujiu was a person who could endure a lot. If he was sweating from the pain, it was by no means a pain that ordinary people could withstand.

Before Li Changning could reply, he stepped forward, grabbed Li Changning's lapel, and threatened in between gritted his teeth, "If something happens to him, this Prince will kill you."

Jingwang was weak, and his hands had little strength. But facing that pair of cold frightening eyes, Li Changning still couldn't help but shiver.

Doesn't this Jingwang detest the General? Why does he look like he really will kill for the General...

He shivered and said, "Your Highness, don't be angry! It will indeed be painful when the needles are first applied to unblock the meridians, but after a period of treatment, the pain will be greatly relieved..."

But Jiang Suizhou asked again, "How long will this last?"

Li Changning replied, "About a month..."

Jiang Suizhou flung him away and laughed coldly: "So you're going to torment him for a month in a row? Your acupuncture is only to relieve the pain, but now it not only can't relieve it, it even worsens it. Yet, you still dare to swindle this Prince with such words?"

Li Changning trembled, unable to speak, and scrambled to find words in his head to deal with the situation.

Just then, a hoarse voice rang out from the bed.

"It doesn't matter."

It was Huo Wujiu's voice.

Jiang Suizhou raised his eyes and saw Huo Wujiu supporting himself to sit up on the bed.

"That's how I'm supposed to be treated. No need to make things difficult for him," Huo Wujiu added.

Li Changning thought he was finished.

He was worried about arousing suspicion of Jingwang. He just explained it himself moments ago, and now even the General was helping him. This was probably only adding fuel to the fire...

Li Changning's legs went limp.

He didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Jingwang and only waited for him to hit the roof.

Instead, he heard a slow, deep breath.

"Get lost," Jingwang said, "If after one month, it doesn't match what you said, this Prince wants your head."

Li Changning knelt down on the ground, his face full of disbelief.

Er...the exposure's just like that?

Li Changning took Wei Kai and fled. In a blink, the room fell into silence, leaving only Jiang Suizhou, who was standing by the bed, and Huo Wujiu, facing each other.

Huo Wujiu raised his eyes and looked at him.

Jingwang seemed truly enraged just now, but at this time, his cold and ferocious appearance was completely gone. He stood in front of the bed against the light, and although his expression was still cold, Huo Wujiu captured traces of helplessness in his eyes.

Those eyes, one after another, glanced at his legs.

For some reason, the irritation that had been pent up in Huo Wujiu's heart for a few days gradually dissipated at this point, turning into some compromise-like helplessness.

...No wonder I thought wrongly. Is this Jingwang confused about how to treat his collaborators and someone he admires? Obviously, he got involved with me because of his own interests. However, is it necessary to feel so genuine? It made him feel as if his anger for his supposed bullying was his care for him.

After a pause, Huo Wujiu spoke indifferently, "Do you need anything else?"

Standing at the side of the bed, Jiang Suizhou came back to his senses with an, "Oh," then said, "This Prince...I just came to see if you're okay."

"I'm fine," Huo Wujiu's reply was dry and sharp.

Jingwang moved, as if subconsciously leaving obediently, but his feet stopped in the same place.

After a pause, he lowered his eyes and looked arrogantly at Huo Wujiu, saying in a cold voice, "Do you think you'll be fine if you say you're fine? That day when it rained, you also said you were fine, but what happened?"

After saying that, he didn't wait for Huo Wujiu's response, then he looked sideways at Meng Qianshan who wasn't far away.

Meng Qianshan understood and hurriedly brought a chair for him and placed it by the bed.

Jiang Suizhou sat down on that chair with an unrelenting look on his face.

"This Prince will watch over you," he said.

Huo Wujiu glanced at him. "As you wish," he said indifferently.

Jingwang no longer spoke, but took the booklet handed to him by Meng Qianshan and sat straight where he was, reading it.

Huo Wujiu's gaze faltered, and then he withdrew his eyes.

There was no question that Jiang Suizhou was unlikeable and even extremely annoying, but he brought him doses of sweetness from nowhere. Huo Wujiu felt annoyed with the mere thought of Jiang Suizhou, but after seeing him, he couldn't control the corners of his mouth.

It was very strange.
