After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 66

Jiang Suizhou was indeed disconcerted by the silver needles on Huo Wujiu's leg.

Before transmigrating, he was very healthy and hadn't even had a few IV drips before, let alone acupuncture. The injuries on Huo Wujiu's leg weren't healed, and after the needles were applied, they looked even more alarming.

With just one glance, Jiang Suizhou's eyes felt like they had been burned, and he hurriedly turned his gaze away.

How painful must this be, huh?

He felt as if he was in Huo Wujiu's shoes. Although he only took a glance, he felt like the needles were piercing his own body.

Beside him, Meng Qianshan helped him sit down on the couch beside Huo Wujiu. He then poured Jiang Suizhou a cup of hot tea and placed it in his hands.

However, Jiang Suizhou didn't spare him even a glance. His eyes only fell on Li Changning at the side of the bed.

He watched as Li Changning waited quietly at the bedside for a moment, until all the sand in the hourglass on his medical kit fell. Only then did he step forward and skillfully but quickly remove the needles on Huo Wujiu's legs.

After he wiped all the needles clean and stored them back into his medical kit, Jiang Suizhou opened his mouth and asked, "Is it over?"

Li Changning nodded and said, "I just need to serve Madam with the medicine, and then everything's done."

When Jiang Suizhou heard that, he asked, "Hmm. What medicine?"

Li Changning smiled and said, "They are for nourishing the body. Madam hasn't been active these days, so I'm worried that he won't be able to withstand the acupuncture. That's why I need to use some herbs to nourish his qi and blood."

Jiang Suizhou nodded and did not ask any further.

Li Changning turned around and ordered his disciple to take the medicine, but he didn't know what his disciple was thinking. His disciple remained unresponsive even after he called him twice.

Li Changning hurriedly went forward, brought the medicine over, and gave it to Huo Wujiu on the bed.

Huo Wujiu sat up on the bed and received the medicine bowl.

Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but look at him twice more.

But just like when he lived in his room, Huo Wujiu didn't lift his eyes. He ignored Jiang Suizhou as if he didn't exist.

Jiang Suizhou felt rather relaxed and warmed by it, as if something that had been missing this morning had finally returned to its place.

The corner of Jiang Suizhou's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and even he didn't notice it himself.

Seeing that Huo Wujiu had finished drinking the medicine on his own, Li Changning's thoughts turned. He turned around and knelt down in front of Jiang Suizhou.

"Your Highness, the treatment for Madam is done for today," he said. "If Your Highness has no other instructions, we'll be taking our leave first."

Li Changning was the most clear. His bowl of oral medicine worked quickly, and it would take but one incense stick at most to take effect.

This effect was naturally not only on the restoring of meridians, but also on the pain of flesh and bones.

Since he started his medical practice, he had treated several cases of the same patients. When the medicine took effect, the pain was always unbearable for them. He administered only half of the dose for the first few, but each grimaced hideously and tossed all around. Some were lucky enough to have fainted from the pain.

Jingwang, of course, mustn't witness this kind of scene, lest he'd be suspicious.

After all, what he told Jingwang was that he was only able to relieve the pain in Huo Wujiu's limbs. If Jiang Suizhou saw that the more he healed him, the more he was increasingly pained, it would be difficult to explain to him.

Therefore, he must be dismissed as soon as possible.

Li Changning had made plans. As soon as Jingwang let him go, he would immediately pretend to remember something and ask Jingwang to return to his room. He would then take his pulse and issue a prescription.

But then, he saw Jiang Suizhou, leaning against a throw pillow on the couch.

"Well," he said indifferently, "How is the treatment today?"

Li Changning was stunned.

Why didn’t Jingwang play his cards according to common sense?!

He carefully raised his eyes to look at Jiang Suizhou, then saw him leisurely sitting there, short of lazy and relaxed. However, his face was unfathomable, as he quietly looked at him.

...He didn't know if Jiang Suizhou really cared or if he was testing him.

Not knowing that Jiang Suizhou just wanted to stay in the room a little longer, Li Changning didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. He deliberated his wording, and carefully but quickly reported to Jiang Suizhou.

He reported in a roundabout way, but watertight and very concise. Even if Jingwang had suspicions, he couldn't possibly grasp at any clues.

After finishing his report, Li Changning lowered his head and counted the seconds secretly while begging Jingwang in his heart to leave quickly.

Then he saw Jingwang on the couch raise his hand.

Li Changning was prepped to go. He was just waiting for this master to swing his hand, so he could slip away, and while at it, fool this master away, too...

But Jiang Suizhou only picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip.

What was more, he went on to ask more questions.

From how long the medicine would take effect, to whether the acupuncture had side effects, and even what acupuncture points to pierce; he just had to ask.

Li Changning murmured to himself, It's over.

He answered Jiang Suizhou's questions with trepidation while counting the time.

An incense stick burned very fast, and the time was almost there.

Li Changning's heart jumped to his throat.

However, he watched an incense burning time pass, but the bed remained peaceful. The time passed little by little, but except for the sound of the two of them talking, no other movement was heard in the room at all.

Gradually, Li Changning relaxed.

Sure enough, this General Huo couldn't be judged by the standards of ordinary people.

Since he had the stamina, then there was no need to cover up.

So, Li Changning talked to Jiang Suizhou with confidence, answering his questions glibly and replying quite freely.

However, he didn't notice that Jiang Suizhou, who was sitting on the couch, was a little distracted.

His eyes drifted towards the bed from time to time.

Huo Wujiu indeed usually ignored him, but not as bad as today. He just laid there, as if there was no one else there but himself.

Since the showdown that day, Huo Wujiu seemed to have always shown such an attitude toward him. Jiang Suizhou didn't know where he had misspoken.

How about...finding an excuse to take care of him a few times?
