Jiang Suzhou's gaze turned from astonishment to anger. He felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and his ears turned red from anger.
In the next moment, he clenched his teeth and said in a low voice, "Meng Qianshan!"
He felt that Meng Qianshan should be glad that he wasn't the original owner of the body. Otherwise, he would have died a quick and painless death on the spot.
Meng Qianshan stared blankly for a moment before he realized that his flattery had hit the nail on the head.
He jumped in fright and stuttered as he explained, "This servant … this servant saw that master didn't want servants to serve him, so I thought that the pool was quite big and convenient, so … so …"
He couldn't continue to explain himself.
His exposed skin was a bit cold. Jiang Suzhou pulled his clothes together and took a deep breath. He tried to keep his voice calm, "Two days ago, the doctor changed his bandages. Did you forget? Then he was soaked in hot water. Meng Qianshan, if his brain doesn't work, this prince will find someone to dig it out for you. "
His body was weak, and he was so angry that his voice was trembling.
Meng Qianshan didn't care about anything else. He was so scared that he pushed his wheelchair and ran away.
Even if he ran, he didn't dare to bump into Huo Wujiu. He stumbled all the way and pushed Huo Wujiu back to his bedroom.
Jiang Suzhou let out a sigh of relief and took off his clothes again.
After being scared by Meng Qianshan, his train of thought was suddenly disrupted. However, the pool was exquisitely prepared, and the temperature of the water was also very suitable. Soaking in it was still an extremely enjoyable thing.
Jiang Suzhou focused on soaking in the pool until he was a bit tired. Then he changed into a new set of clothes and returned to his bedroom.
Meng Qianshan had been scared away long ago. At this time, only Huo Wujiu was left in the bedroom. He was sitting in his wheelchair and reading a book.
Jiang Suzhou was a bit embarrassed.
It was all because of that stupid Meng Qianshan … who insisted on pushing Huo Wujiu into the pool while he was bathing.
He walked to the couch and sat down while drying his hair.Perhaps it was because Huo Wujiu rarely answered his question, so he relaxed a lot. At this time, he directly opened his mouth.
"It's Meng Qianshan's fault." He said.
Huo Wujiu put down the book and said indifferently, "It's fine."
He then went to the back room to wash his face and rinse his mouth.
Jiang Suzhou quietly let out a sigh of relief.
It really wasn't his imagination … Even though Huo Wujiu was still cold towards him, he was already willing to pay attention to him.
— Even though he was was was rejected.
However, this also proved that his efforts were useful — at least, Huo Wujiu felt that he was taking care of him.
Jiang Suzhou watched his back disappear in front of the screen. He retracted his gaze, picked up the book he was reading, and leaned on the couch to continue reading.
As soon as he lay down on the couch, he felt the difference.
The cushion was a whole layer thicker, the pillow was changed, and there was even a very comfortable quilt.
At first glance, he knew that Meng Qianshan believed his lies in the morning. He was afraid that he would suffer because of it, so he specially arranged this for him.
Jiang Suzhou immediately forgave Meng Qianshan for his rashness just now.
Was there anything happier in the world than being able to have a good sleep?
At present, there was no such thing.
— —
However, he didn't know that when Huo Wujiu went to the back room, the wheelchair stopped in place.
His hand slipped almost imperceptibly.
In front of him, hot and humid steam hit his face. In the middle of the dense white steam, there was an empty pool and traces of water left on the ground.
The flower petals in the pool gently rippled with the water. The clothes that the man had changed out of were still hanging on the copper rack next to him.
This kind of scene would always easily remind people of the scene they just saw.
For example, that man's black hair was loose, and his inner garment was half undone. When he turned around, it suddenly revealed a smooth and glossy chest.
Huo Wujiu had been in the army for many years, so he had seen too many men's bodies. During the summer, a group of men would even go to the river to take a bath together.
However … he had never seen a man like this.
He didn't know if it was because he had never been exposed to the elements, or because his appearance was too outstanding, but Huo Wujiu hurriedly averted his gaze after just one glance.
He had never seen such a … man. For a moment, he couldn't even think of an appropriate adjective that didn't have any erotic connotations.
When he thought about it, it made sense. The men he had met before, even if they were being honest with each other, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with each other. There had never been a man like Imperial Prince Jing, who hurriedly wrapped up his clothes before even saying anything. He even blushed because of embarrassment.
… He was like a big girl.
Although Huo Wujiu's impression of girls was also blank, when he thought of Jiang Suizhou, he suddenly had such a nasty thought.
Even his heart beat a little faster.
— —
Jiang Suizhou slept very soundly that night. He slept all the way until the morning of the next day. He felt refreshed and his body felt lighter.
Meng Qianshan had prepared breakfast early in the morning. He didn't know if it was because he had angered Jiang Suizhou last night, but the dishes on the table today were especially sumptuous. They were all arranged according to Jiang Suizhou's favorite dishes.
Jiang Suizhou glanced at Meng Qianshan indifferently and saw him smile awkwardly and fawningly.
He didn't say anything and coldly withdrew his gaze.
It was good to scare him a little, so that he wouldn't do something like this in the future and cause trouble for him.
Therefore, Jiang Suizhou didn't speak to Meng Qianshan until they finished eating.
"Is it time for Madam Huo to change her dressing?" He asked.
Meng Qianshan nodded repeatedly. "The mansion doctor will be here later today. Your Highness, don't worry."
Jiang Suizhou made a sound of acknowledgment, paused, and then asked, "What's the date today?"
Meng Qianshan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's the eighth day of the lunar month."
Jiang Suizhou nodded.
"It's the fourth day. Send someone to Madam Gu's courtyard and tell her that this prince will be there for dinner tonight. "
Meng Qianshan was dumbfounded.
Your Highness! You … how could you say that in front of Madam Huo!
Meng Qianshan stared at Jiang Suizhou in a daze for a moment. When Jiang Suizhou didn't respond, he looked at him and nodded blankly. "Yes … this servant will do it in a moment …"
Jiang Suizhou glanced at him and frowned.
What's with this kid's expression? In front of Huo Wujiu, he stared at him as if he was a heartless man!
What if Huo Wujiu saw this and misunderstood?
Jiang Suizhou hurriedly stole a glance at Huo Wujiu.
He saw that Huo Wujiu was focused on eating, as if he didn't hear anything.
— — Well, ever since he married Huo Wujiu, he had always been at peace with him. He hadn't done anything out of line. Huo Wujiu probably knew that his relationship with him was different from his relationship with Gu Changyun and the others.
… Although his relationship with Gu Changyun and the others was also very clean.
With this thought, Jiang Suizhou felt relieved. Seeing that it was about time, he got up and went to the Ministry of Rites to continue slacking.
Meng Qianshan was the only one left. He looked at Huo Wujiu with a worried expression.
He finally understood what it meant when the emperor wasn't worried, but the eunuch was.
This man's upper and lower halves were really separated.Just like the prince. Yesterday, he had told him with deep affection that he loved Madame Huo so much that he couldn't bear to ruin her. Today, he wanted to go to another concubine's room in front of Madame Huo.
Meng Qianshan looked worriedly at Madame Huo, who had a cold and indifferent expression on her face.
How about persuading Madame Huo? Although Madame Huo still looked like she didn't care, he couldn't let the prince leave a bad impression of him as a playboy.
After thinking for a while, he left the room and found a servant girl. He had her deliver the prince's order to Madame Gu's room. He then returned and stood in front of Huo Wujiu.
"Madame Gu entered the estate early. Master, you know that." He forced a smile on his face and said carefully.
Meng Qianshan addressed Huo Wujiu as "Master".Usually, it was the servants who served the concubines in the inner courtyard who addressed their own concubines.As the eunuch by the prince's side, Meng Qianshan naturally wouldn't lower himself like this.
Huo Wujiu lifted his eyes and glanced at Meng Qianshan.
Meng Qianshan smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Madame Gu has a delicate personality. She will make a fuss when she doesn't see the prince for a few days. The prince is impatient with her because he's afraid that she will make a fuss. It doesn't seem like he really dotes on her. "
Huo Wujiu frowned.
Why was he telling him this? What did it have to do with him what Prince Jing wanted to do?
Meng Qianshan spoke as if he was a housewife who was vying for the prince's favor.
Meng Qianshan continued, "Moreover, that Madame Gu isn't a reasonable person. Even though the prince protects you in the courtyard every day, he might not be able to stop that woman from vying for the prince's favor and coming to make trouble for you, right? The prince spent the night there for your own good … "
Huo Wujiu felt that Meng Qianshan was too noisy. He was about to tell Meng Qianshan to shut up when he suddenly heard the words "spent the night".
The scene he saw last night replayed in his mind for a moment.
He remembered that person's smooth and slender waist, and his ears that had turned slightly red when he was embarrassed and angry, and his clear and magnetic voice that day when he had said in a low and gentle voice that he had been in love with him for a long time through the door.
What would a man like that look like when he spent the night with another man?
He was stunned.
… What was he thinking about?
That thought came very suddenly, catching him off guard after he came back to his senses, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He looked up and coldly glanced at Meng Qianshan.
That one glance scared Meng Qianshan so much that he choked and immediately shut his mouth.
He looked at Huo Wujiu in fear.
Huo Wujiu looked up at him. Even though he was looking up at him, his malicious gaze made people want to kneel down in front of him.
Huo Wujiu paused.
Why was he competing with a eunuch who lacked a single thread in his brain?
He withdrew his gaze.
Even though he was a concubine in Jiang Suizhou in name, to him, it was just a change of prison. Since he wouldn't have his spine broken in Nanjing's prison, he naturally wouldn't be tortured and assimilated in a place like this.
Naturally, he wouldn't be so fierce with a eunuch because of something like this.
With that thought, Huo Wujiu looked up at Meng Qianshan.
"Get out," he said.
He didn't seem to be gentle at all. Instead, he seemed even more fierce.
