After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

He put down his cup of tea and looked towards them.

Xu Du, who was sitting on the side, unhurriedly opened his mouth and asked, “Although the ancestral hall repair isn’t a big deal, several officials in the Ministry of Rites won it with difficulty…Now, Pang Shao took it away?”

He looked calm, and his expression was also bland, but in just a few words, he gave off the feeling of a spring breeze.

Jiang Suizhou could not help but relax a little. “His Majesty asked for it. There is no other way.”

Next to him, Gu Changyun spoke, “Since he has borrowed the mouth of His Majesty, it is indeed difficult for Your Highness to refuse. It’s just a pity that the money will fall into Pang Shao’s hands again.”

Xu Du said, “There is still a chance later on, so just wait. But the Ministry of Rites’ officials, can Your Highness appease them?”

Gu Changyun nodded. “Indeed. Those lords have done a lot of work for Your Highness this time. If we annoy them, your agreements with them recently will become a threat against you in their hands.”

After speaking, the two of them turned sideways and looked at Jiang Suizhou.

They were straightforward, clear and logical. It was easy to discern that all the information the original owner usually obtained was shared with them. These two people were extremely trustworthy to him.

But the premise was…They didn’t find out that another person swapped over Jingwang.

Hence, Jiang Suizhou was quite cautious. After taking down what they said, along with the names of those ministers discreetly, he nodded and said concisely, “I know. I’ve also advised Lord Qi today.”

The two nodded.

Then, Jiang Suizhou briefly told them about the rest of the memorials in the courtroom. Fortunately, the Huo Zhu was a consummate fatuous ruler and nothing useful was discussed during the early morning court session, so Jiang Suizhou didn’t have much trouble.

Both naturally discussed with him.

What they considered was what Pang Shao would do under this dynasty, and what chances they had to interfere and reap profits by the way. Jiang Suizhou gradually realized that these two people must be the original owner’s think tank. They would analyze and deduce for him, and then it was up to him to make the decision.

It was mainly because the original owner had a weak single power that his means in fighting against Pang Shao were not so glorious. —— For example, in the case of repairing the ancestral hall, the original owner’s intention was to also embezzle from the inside. The difference with Pang Shao was in whose hands the money would fall.

Jiang Suizhou understood him. After all, the imperial court has reached such a point. It was simply useless to blindly remain upright and clean.

Jiang Suizhou then listened carefully to the two’s discussion and wrote down the useful information for future use when fishing in troubled waters.

Time flew by. When they finished discussing things, half of the lamp oil was used up.

They stopped. Jiang Suizhou said he was somewhat thirsty and again picked up a cup of tea, drinking two sips of tea.

Then Gu Changyun spoke again.

“Master…how do you feel about Huo Wujiu?” he asked.

Jiang Suizhou froze.

…What do you mean, feel? Don’t tell me you’re still competing with him for favor?

He looked at Gu Changyun. He wanted to say something but stopped and did not speak for a moment.

Then he saw Gu Changyun rubbing his wrist and puffed out a laugh.

“Master, don’t think too much. I have discussed with Xu Du today, and I think on Huo Wujiu’s side…There are still things that you must do yourself.”

Jiang Suizhou did not understand, so he inclined his head, signaling him to continue.

Xu Du and Gu Changyun exchanged glances.

Gu Changyun then expounded, “In the last couple of years, Pang Shao and His Majesty haven’t stopped planting spies on you. However, you’ve disposed of all those people, and none of them were left. Now, there are only two of us in the house, and you brought both of us in yourself…Therefore, when Pang Shao proposed the plan to His Majesty to give Huo Wujiu to you as a concubine, I think it must have been with the intention of testing you.”

Jiang Suizhou frowned: “You mean…”

Gu Changyun nodded. “His Majesty doesn’t care about it for the time being, but Pang Shao still has doubts about your homosexuality. The people he sent in before were all spies, but this time, Huo Wujiu is different…He is neither His Majesty’s nor Pang Shao’s. He was born with outstanding looks, so Pang Shao must have sent someone to secretly spy to see if you…will still favor Huo Wujiu.”

Jiang Suizhou: “…”

Ah, let me spoil Huo Wujiu to prove that I am a gay? Why don’t you guys just cut off my head and hand it over to Huo Wujiu?

He immediately refused, “If I don’t spoil Huo Wujiu, will that prove that my homosexuality is fake? That’s an inappropriate move.”

But Xu Du, who has been silent, seconded.

He said, “But if you pamper him several times, that can prove that you’re gay 一 Otherwise, I think it will not be long before Pang Shao’s party will still send people in. If you kill anyone who enters one by one…I think it won’t be long before it’s exposed.”

Gu Changyun nodded, “We discussed and felt that this is the most appropriate way to go. Your Highness does not need to worry. Just spend more nights at Huo Wujiu’s place during this period of time.”

They implied that it didn’t matter whether he did or didn’t do something to him.

It was enough to physically let Pang Shao know that he, Jiang Suizhou, could bear to sleep with even the most loathsome men as long as they were good looking.

Xu Du then added, “Today is quite good. Changyun has just clashed with Huo Wujiu, and it makes sense for you to visit him today.”

For a time, two pairs of extremely serious eyes looked at Jiang Suizhou one after another.

Jiang Suizhou looked at them and fell into silence.

He had made a lot of preparations, just so he could not sleep with the original master’s concubines.

It never occurred to him that the original owner’s concubines would look at him eagerly and ask him to sleep with Huo Wujiu.
