After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 38

It rained all night, and the sky only cleared up early the next morning.

Jiang Suizhou had slept peacefully all night.

When he woke up early the next morning, the clouds had already dispersed, and the sun reflected the blue sky and shone brightly through the window.

Jiang Suizhou's gaze immediately fell on the couch under the window.

He saw that the couch was already empty, and Huo Wujiu was sitting on his wheelchair beside it, tidying up his robe.

"Do your legs still hurt?" When Jiang Suizhou spoke, his voice was still raspy from just waking up.

Huo Wujiu looked up at him and said indifferently, "They’re fine."

With that, he picked up a white object from the couch and raised his hand to toss it.

Seeing that the object was flying straight towards him, Jiang Suizhou nimbly reached out to catch it. But the object was so soft that it passed straight through his hands and landed softly on his bed.

When Jiang Suizhou looked down, he saw that it was the hand warmer that Meng Qianshan stuffed in his blanket yesterday.

The hot water inside had long since lost its heat, except for the fluff on the surface, which carried a faint temperature, like someone's body heat.

Jiang Suizhou looked up and heard Huo Wujiu faintly say, "Many thanks."

—— Oh, he’s thanking me for this bed warmer.

The corners of Jiang Suizhou's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile.

He said it. This General Huo Wujiu was indeed a remarkable man. Yesterday, Meng Qianshan clearly gave him so many bed warmers, yet Huo Wujiu still remembered that he gave him this. He even thanked him for it.

"Don’t mention it." Jiang Suizhou's voice was tinged with smiles.

Huo Wujiu merely looked at him indifferently and withdrew his gaze coldly.

The sun was getting higher, so Jiang Suizhou rolled over and got off the bed.

Although yesterday was the emperor’s birthday banquet and officials of all ranks were to rest today, the Ministry of Rites could not rest. All the things prepared for yesterday's banquet needed to be sorted out and sent to the registry.

Ji You had said that Jiang Suizhou was not well enough to go, but Jiang Suizhou did not want Ji You to make an exception for him. He would just drop by to see if there was anything he could do.

While considering all this, he also thought of the books that Ji You lent him days ago.

The two books of unofficial history were not too thick, so counting the days, he could now return them to Ji You.

With this in mind, he stood up and intended to ask Meng Qianshan to come in.

But at this time, the door was opened in a panic.

Jiang Suizhou raised his eyes to see Meng Qianshan hastily stumbling in.

"Your Highness, something has happened, Your Highness!" Meng Qianshan immediately reported.

Jiang Suizhou frowned: "What's happened?"

Meng Qianshan was gasping for breath when he said, "Something has happened to the Ministry of Rites! Just now, someone from the court came to report that Lord Ji You was impeached and taken away by the Ministry of Justice!"

Jiang Suizhou was stunned.

"On what charge?"

He remembered Ji You's life, and there should not be such a thing. Although Ji You had no great achievements, his life could be considered smooth-sailing. After the fall of the Jing Dynasty, the Northern Liang originally wanted to recruit him, but he refused. After that, he resigned and returned to his hometown to enjoy the landscape to his heart’s content.

How could he be arrested out of the blue?

Just then, Meng Qianshan said, “An official from the Ministry of Justice said that Lord Ji embezzled the budget on the emperor’s birthday banquet, using second best material and cutting corners. Someone discovered it this morning!"

This was even more unlikely.

Jiang Suizhou frowned: "Has he already been arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice?"

Meng Qianshan immediately nodded.

Jiang Suizhou's face turned serious as he raised his hand and said, "Change my clothes."

Meng Qianshan was stunned: "Your Highness, you are..."

Jiang Suizhou interrupted, "I'm going to the Ministry of Justice."

Meng Qianshan stomped his feet anxiously when he heard his words: "Why on earth are you going there?! At present, all the officials in the Ministry of Rites are in hiding, fearing that the officials and soldiers will come to their doors. Why are you rushing to go there?"

Jiang Suizhou remained expressionless.

"Cut the crap."

Meng Qianshan did not dare to defy, so he could only step forward to change Jiang Suizhou’s robes.

Jiang Suizhou's gaze turned sullen.

He knew that since the Ministry of Rites was in trouble, after arresting Ji You, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were bound to be arrested and interrogated one by one. As a King, taking the initiative to clear himself of suspicion was nothing unusual and would not attract suspicion elsewhere.

But what he wanted to do, naturally, was not to clear his suspicion.

He wanted to know why Ji You, who had not met with a mishap so far, was arrested.

Was it because this was an unofficial history, which was different from the official history? Or because he translated and had contact with Ji You, which had become a variable in Ji You's life track?
