After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 79

Xu Du scrutinized his expression, and asked, “Your Highness, do you need this subordinate to steal the original?”

Jiang Suizhou pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

“If the letters are lost, their framing this time will definitely not succeed, but, what about next time?”

Saying this, he looked at Xu Du.

“We know Zhao Dunting is the perpetrator now, but if Zhao Dunting’s letters are gone, Pang Shao will definitely know. Never mind that Pang Shao might trace it back to us, let’s say he no longer uses Zhao Dunting, replaces him with other people, then does it again; what should we do then?”

Xu Du slowly nodded.

“Your Highness is right. It’s easy for us to check Zhao Dunting, but if Pang Shao is alert, then we can only prevent it this time, and it will be harder the next time. Then, Qi-daren is still in danger.”

Jiang Suizhou hummed, holding the letters as he pondered.

“But, if not stopped, in two days, Zhao Dunting will place this fabricated evidence in Qi-daren’s residence,” Xu Du said. “By then, once the court checks, Qi-daren will be beyond saving.”

Jiang Suizhou nodded.

“So…this Prince is thinking, what if we can satisfy both sides,” he said.

Xu Du mulled over his words, and suddenly froze.

“Your Highness means…” He hesitated.

Jiang Suizhou nodded.

“We’ll have to risk it,” he said.

That day, he and Xu Du discussed the whole morning. After the discussion was over, he properly hid the evidence and letters before seeing Xu Du out the door.

As soon as he was outside his place, Xu Du oddly gave out a surprise “eh?”.

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Suizhou asked.

Xu Du looked around.

“Why do I not see Changyun?” he said.

Jiang Suizhou was confused. “Gu Changyun is here?”

Xu Du nodded. They were now outside the door, and all around them were maids and servants. When he opened his mouth again, his form of address had changed.

“Your Highness, Changyun came together with this concubine this morning. Since this concubine needed to meet with Your Highness alone, he got angry and said he’ll wait outside.”

Hearing this, Jiang Suizhou was rather speechless with this drama queen Gu Changyun.

But it was also probably because Gu Changyun feigned this harem fight scenario too seriously. The residence’s higher and lower positions all knew he was haughty from the master’s indulgence, and especially that he was a rambunctious little devil, no one ever doubted the concubine status of the two people.

Much less doubting Jiang Suizhou being a cutsleeve.

Jiang Suizhou looked around. Not seeing the person’s figure, he said, “He might have gone back first. Leave him alone, just go.”

But at this moment, Meng Qianshan hastily rushed over.

“Your Highness!” He spoke in urgency. “What if you check Madam Huo’s room?”

Jiang Suizhou furrowed his brows.

“What’s happened?” he asked.

And saw Meng Qianshan’s face enveloping with worry.

“This…earlier, Madam Gu was insistent on visiting Madam Huo’s room. This humble slave couldn’t stop him, so…”

He stumbled over his words.

“So, Madam Gu has been sitting in Madam Huo’s room for a long time.”

Wei Kai’s face was ashen as he stood upright next to the medicine stove like a flagpole, staring fixedly at the small stove above the fire, wishing he could stare a hole right at that small mud stove.

Behind him, the beautiful childe clad in red was reclining on the divan, a small cup of tea in his hands.

It was Gu Changyun.

Today’s sun was truly bright, it shone scorchingly in the early morning. Gu Changyun was waiting for Xu Du in the courtyard, but he didn’t see him come out after waiting for a while, then realized he must have a matter to discuss with the master.

There would be no end in waiting, then. Since Gu Changyun didn’t want to suffer under the sun in the courtyard, and the chair Meng Qianshan brought out was also not comfortable. Thinking that going back at this time wouldn’t suit his status, he simply went to hide in Huo Wujiu’s room.

The room was extremely lively. Besides those ever-silent servants, there were four people in total including him.

However, Huo Wujiu never paid any heed to him, currently lying on the bed without uttering a word. The other two were doctors that had received entry to the residence. Last time, to make it more convenient for him to observe the skills of those doctors coming from different regions, and to scare off the fish in troubled waters*, he specially put forth a cunning look. So when these two came into the residence, they suffered a lot.

*fish in troubled waters (idiom) - to reap benefit from confusion

Hence, as soon as he came in a while ago, these two meekly saluted him, and as though he wasn’t there, they went about their own business.

However, Gu Changyun also wasn’t interested in them. Doctors merely used medicine to check on the ill, so he wasn’t interested in Huo Wujiu’s legs, nor was he inclined to know how they treated Huo Wujiu and what the result would be.

Gu Changyun merely felt extremely bored.

He held the tea and looked around, before finally landing his gaze on Huo Wujiu.

He recalled that when Huo Wujiu looked at him last time, there was murderous intent concealed beneath those serene black eyes.

Gu Changyun never feared death, and was instead interested in the meaning behind this.

If Huo Wujiu was fed up with him, he shouldn’t have such vehemence, but if he was jealous, then this person’s jealousy was too fierce, wasn’t it?

Last time, Jiang Suizhou was a part of the scene, so Gu Changyun didn’t have time to look carefully and only felt regrettable, but leaving it until now gave him a good opportunity to kill time.

With this in mind, Gu Changyun put down the cup of tea and smiled charmingly.

“This room is truly bright, it’s a bit more spacious than my main house.” Saying this, he looked at Huo Wujiu, smiling.

“Madam Huo has only been in the prince’s residence for a while, and receives such a special favor from His Highness, it really makes gege envious.”

Huo Wujiu indifferently raised his eyes. After giving him a glance, the tides in his eyes were calm, as light as still water.

Instead, it was Wei Kai in the corner whose eye rims turned bright red from anger. His hands even started trembling.

That’s pushing too far! Their General, how could this concubine treat him like this? This was simply a great humiliation!

But at this moment, he heard the General’s gentle voice.

“It’s just new people replacing the old.”

Gentle and calm. For a moment, it didn’t dawn that he was joking.

Wei Kai’s eyes went wide open.
