The door was opened and then closed again.

Jiang Suizhou left.

Gu Changyun walked back slowly and sat down beside Xu Du, and picked up his teacup.

"It's still early, why don't you go back after playing a game of chess?" He said lazily, blowing on the floating leaves on the water.

Xu Du didn't make a sound.

Gu Changyun raised his eyes and saw Xu Du was sizing him up.

The two of them have worked together for a long time, and with just one look, Gu Changyun understood what he was thinking.

Holding the tea, he chuckled.

Xu Du said, "You can see it too." It's not a question, but a statement.

Although that person is clearly the prince, he is definitely not the prince.

The lives of both of them are tied to the prince, so the prince is never worried that they will rebel, let alone pretend to be in front of them... and he has never treated the two of them so calmly.

Especially when Pang Shao snatched away what he got, he was so peaceful.

And about that Huo Wujiu...

The emperor decreed to grant the marriage, even though the prince had never seen him, he still hated him extremely.The lord transferred all the hatred towards Pang Shao and the emperor to Huo Wujiu, and wished that Huo Wujiu would die suddenly in his mansion like those spies, and be dragged to a mass grave.

After all, to the prince, Huo Wujiu is a symbol of the emperor wantonly humiliating him.Huo Wujiu's stay in his house for a day means that he is trampled underfoot by the trash he has always looked down on.

Therefore, Xu Du saw at a glance that Gu Changyun's proposal was just a test.

Gu Changyun put down the teacup by himself.

"What do you see? The one who just came, isn't he the prince?"

He spoke briskly, and while talking, he took out the chessboard and two chess baskets from under the table where he was sitting, one black and one white, and one of them was placed by Xu Du's hand.

"Anyway, the lives of my whole family are in the hands of the prince." Gu Changyun was speaking, and his subordinates moved the chess pieces slowly.

"As long as you obey the prince, we don't need to worry about other things, do we?"

As he spoke, he dropped a piece on the chessboard and looked up at Xu Du.

Those delicate and charming eyes were so cold that they shone with excitement.

-

Jiang Suizhou was fooled by those two people talking to each other, after weighing the pros and cons, he still went to Huo Wujiu's residence.

After all, those eyeliners sent on the grounds of concubines are not only endless, but the more they kill, the more suspicious they become.What's more, as a modern person, he can't send one to kill another.

Now...he can only rely on Huo Wujiu.

Along the way, Jiang Suizhou was very upset.

He hated himself for speaking so deadly.

Last night, he also warned Huo Wujiu not to obstruct his eyes, today, he rushed to his residence to obstruct his eyes.

Before seeing Huo Wujiu, he had already started to embarrass himself.

After walking for a long time, they came to a dimly lit courtyard.

Jiang Suizhou sat on the chariot, only glanced at it, then looked away.

In the courtyard next to it, there was a place of darkness, but there was some light, it must be the house where the servants lived.

Unexpectedly, the walking chariot stopped in front of the courtyard gate.

Jiang Suizhou looked sideways, and saw Meng Qianshan coming up to him with a smile on his side, trying to help him get off the chariot.

As Jiang Suizhou walked down, he frowned and asked, "Are you there?"

Meng Qianshan nodded hurriedly: "Here we are! This is the yard specially ordered by the prince to be assigned to Mrs. Huo. Did the prince forget?"

Jiang Suizhou stood still and looked up.

From a distance, the yard and the surrounding houses are integrated into one, and nothing special can be seen.

But when I got closer, I saw that the courtyard was completely deserted.There are weeds everywhere, and a few big trees that have never been pruned grow in the yard, and there is a layer of leaves on the ground, which should be the leaves that fell last autumn.

Through the dim light from the window, one can vaguely see the broken window lattice and window paper, trembling in the breeze.

...Where is this place to live!

Drive him to the corner of the palace and give him such a broken house to live in. One can tell at a glance that the original owner wished that Huo Wujiu would not appear in front of him for the rest of his life, and even deliberately made things difficult for him, so that he would not have a good life in the palace. Pass.

Presumably, even though the original owner was struggling in Nanjing, he was limited to seizing power with the later owner and Pang Shao.To him, Huo Wujiu is a traitor, an enemy he would never consider wooing.

—— How does he know what Huo Wujiu will do three years later.

Jiang Suizhou was in a complicated mood for a while, and couldn't help thanking his two "concubines" in his heart.

If he hadn't come in time today, he would have to bear the blame of the original owner again and be credited to Huo Wujiu's account.

He sighed in his heart, hummed, and said: "I mentioned it casually, I can't remember clearly."

With that said, he walked towards the courtyard.

Meng Qianshan next to him was amazed.

How could it be impossible to remember?A few days ago, when I asked the prince where Mrs. Huo lived, the prince's eyes were frighteningly cold, and he specifically said to keep Huo Wujiu away so that he would not see it.

but……

Thinking about the prince's appearance in the morning, Meng Qianshan also had a bottom line in his heart.

The prince used to hate Mrs. Huo because he never saw Mrs. Huo.

Now that the prince and Mrs. Huo spent the night, his attitude has changed this morning. The previous disgust, in front of such favors, naturally cannot be counted...

Meng Qianshan trotted all the way, following behind Jiang Suizhou.

This courtyard is not only low-lying, but also the running water in the mansion is brought in from here.As soon as he entered the yard, Jiang Suizhou felt a burst of clamminess, and even the wind blowing on his body was a few degrees colder.

...It's because this weak body is too sensitive.

He went straight to the room in the middle, but saw that there was no one in the corridor.

Before he could speak, Meng Qianshan spoke first.He raised his voice, "Where have all the people in this courtyard gone?"

After a while, I saw two maids rushing out from the side room, and they looked like they had already rested.

As soon as they saw them coming, both of them showed surprise and fear on their faces. They hurried forward and knelt down in front of Jiang Suizhou: "...My lord!"

Jiang Suizhou frowned.

Although he is not used to the ancient concept of superiority and inferiority, he knows that he has to do things when he is paid, let alone bully his employer.

They are clearly bullying Huo Wujiu.

Meng Qianshan, who was next to him, saw his expression, and said in a sharp voice: "Why is there not even a night watchman at the door, so you just leave the master and go to sleep like this? Are you assigned to serve the wife, or come to be the wife of the lady?" Master's?"

The two maids did not dare to raise their heads, and kowtowed to admit their mistake.

Jiang Suizhou raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

He could see that the death of the original owner in the unofficial history was not only because of his own lack of desire to survive, but also because the whole family was flattering others, forcing him to forge a deep hatred with Huo Wujiu before it was over.

He waved his hand and said lightly, "You take care of it." Then he turned and entered the room.

Meng Qianshan hurriedly agreed, and then said: "Come here, drag the two of them down, give them a reward first, and return them together with the deed of sale tomorrow to Yazi. Sell it wherever you want!"

The two maids were dragged away crying.

Jiang Suizhou didn't care about them.

Because as soon as he entered the room, he was choked and coughed violently.

There was dust all around, and it had already diffused into the air.After only one breath, Jiang Suizhou felt that his fragile lungs had been hit hard. He coughed for a while and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north, south, and east, and tears flooded his eyes.

The servants who followed were terrified and hurried in, helping and pouring tea.But there was not even a place to sit in this room, and there was only half a pot of cold water in the pot on the table.

Everyone was busy.In the chaos, Jiang Suizhou vaguely heard the sound of the wheelchair, which was extremely low and hoarse, and was drowned in the human voice in an instant.

He was supported to sit on the side, coughed for a long time, and took down the hot tea that people had found hard to find, and finally stopped coughing.

Only then did he open his tear-filled eyes, and saw Huo Wujiu who was sitting obliquely in front, turning his head to look at him.

Thick black eyes, like whirlpools.

He coughed again involuntarily, and physiological tears fell from his eyes.

With the tears falling, Jiang Suizhou also saw Huo Wujiu clearly.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but the gloomy eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.

But the next moment, those eyes moved away and didn't look at him again.

Jiang Suizhou naturally didn't know how pitiful his appearance was in the eyes of the other party.

An overly cold and beautiful sickly man, with red eyes, teary eyelashes, and a thick cloak wrapped around his body, looked at others with tears in his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he was a bit spoiled.

Jiang Suizhou didn't realize it, he only waited for the coughing to end, he closed the cloak that Meng Qianshan had wrapped around him, sat up straight, and said lightly: "Meng Qianshan, is this the arrangement you said?"

Now that he has recovered from his cough, he knows that he has to throw the pot out first, so that he can logically decide to change Huo Wujiu's place.

Hearing the words, Meng Qianshan didn't care about other things, and confessed tremblingly: "Small negligence, it's a small negligence! Tomorrow... ah no, right away! The little one will let someone clean up another yard and come out. Let Mrs. Huo move in!"

Jiang Suizhou hummed and took another sip of tea.

He thought to himself, it's better to move closer to him.After all, he just adopted the advice of those two staff members, and these days he will always go to Huo Wujiu's place...

He paused for tea.

Doesn't the Anyin Hall where he lives have many spare rooms?

Not only can he see Huo Wujiu every day, he can prevent others from secretly bullying him, and he can sneak back to his room to sleep.If it reaches the ears of the Empress and Pang Shao, their goals can also be achieved... Is there anything more perfect than this!

Jiang Suizhou's eyes lit up.

He put down his teacup and opened his mouth lightly.

"There's no need to tidy up," he said. "Move directly to the king's place."

For a moment, the servants around who heard this were stunned.

Jiang Suizhou remained motionless.

Anyway, I don't need to explain to them the decision made by the lord of my house, I just need to pretend to be unfathomable.

only……

He turned his gaze nonchalantly, and carefully glanced at Huo Wujiu from the corner of his eye.

But was stunned.

He saw that under the dim light, Huo Wujiu's expression was a little abnormal.

He wasn't listening to what he said at all, one arm was resting on the armrest of the wheelchair, and he was struggling to support his drooping head.

……sick?
