After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 55
The man in the wheelchair slowly raised his eyes, a pair of pitch-dark eyes calmly fell on his face.
The smile on Gu Changyun's face involuntarily froze, and his hand gently let go of the book. After retracting his hand, he subconsciously placed his hands behind his back.
For a moment, Gu Changyun had an inexplicable suspicion.
He felt that if Jiang Suizhou was not watching from behind them, the man in front of him would have snapped his neck.
He embodied a ferocious beast ready to strike, and the only thing that confined him was Jiang Suizhou's eyes behind him.
For the first time, Gu Changyun acutely realized that he had played with and touched someone he shouldn't have.
He stood frozen in place for a moment, motionless.
Just then, Jiang Suizhou's cold voice rang.
"This Prince is fine. If there's nothing else, go back," he said indifferently.
Only then did Gu Changyun gradually regain his strength. He felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.
He was about to take a step back when he heard a soft snap.
He looked up and saw that the book was tossed lightly on the side table. The person sitting in front of him lowered his eyes, pressed the wheelchair with one hand, turned a bit, and headed straight out.
It was only when the sound of the wheelchair faded away that Gu Changyun managed to withdraw his gaze.
Then he saw Jiang Suizhou, who was sitting on the bed, looking at him disapprovingly.
"Do you have nothing better to do than to provoke him?" Jiang Suizhou lowered his voice and asked.
Gu Changyun returned to the bed and sat down, his expression a bit pensive.
Jiang Suizhou was far away and did not see the lightning bolt eye-contact held between them just now. But Gu Changyun sat down slowly beside his bed, his eyes a little empty.
Jiang Suizhou raised his finger and pointed at him.
"I won't be responsible for saving you if you provoke him." Jiang Suizhou gnashed his teeth.
But Gu Changyun shook his head.
"I feel that Huo Wujiu wasn't angered by this servant." Gu Changyun muttered.
Jiang Suizhou frowned: "What?"
Gu Changyun raised his eyes and looked straight at him.
"It's not like that," he said, "Madam Huo is not so small-minded. I usually provoke him a few times, but as long as I don't touch him, he treats me as if I'm non-existent."
Jiang Suizhou glanced at him.
Gu Changyun looked back at him and suddenly chuckled a couple of times.
"Today, however, he's..." he paused.
"He's like jealous of me."
Jiang Suizhou was stunned.
The next moment, he raised his hand without mercy and landed a smack on Gu Changyun's head.
"You're crazy," he said.
That day after, some doctors gradually visited Jiang Suizhou's residence one after another.
Whatever skills the doctors had, Jiang Suizhou needn't investigate; everything was handed over to Gu Changyun. Gu Changyun drove some of those who were not talented and were looking for fame and fortune out of the house early on, and he also contrived some excuses to send the ones who were inept at treating disabilities and injuries out.
For a few days, Jiang Suizhou met several people one after another. After testing them, they didn't have any dependable skills.
He also knew that the doctors around Lin'an who had some actual skill all ran to the Imperial Hospital. To find an excellent doctor, he needed to wait a little longer and see the results of the people he dispatched to the field to investigate.
Little by little, the flowers and trees outside the window gradually withered and turned into lush green leaves.
Every two days, Gu Changyun would report the results of the search for doctors to Jiang Suizhou. In the past few days, his reports gradually turned more into complaints. He said that there was a doctor who sent himself to the door, claiming to be the living Hua Tuo and saying that he could eliminate all diseases, like a charlatan.
Just look at the tall and strong apprentice who resembled a hired thug behind him, and one would think he was unreliable.
But this man seemed to have some deceptive skills. Gu Changyun wanted to expose his lies, but after several days, he couldn't find any flaws in him. He merely listened to the man's hype and also his insistence on seeing his master.
Gu Changyun told Jiang Suizhou that he couldn't stand it, so he asked him to meet him. It would also be better if he could drive this charlatan away quickly, so that he could return to quiet. Jiang Suizhou's interest was piqued. He wanted to see with his own eyes what this charlatan looked like.
So, he agreed. The next morning, someone brought the doctor over to Jiang Suizhou’s room.
He was an old man in his sixties with gray hair.
Because of Gu Changyun's news in advance, Jiang Suizhou's eyes couldn't help wandering around behind the old man.
Then he saw the disciple behind him. He was in his twenties. He was tall and broad-shouldered. He looked powerful. His facial features were sharp and hard. He didn't have the making of a medical apprentice, but rather a soldier.
Jiang Suizhou felt inwardly amused, so he took another look.
The two kneeled down in front of him and bowed. Jiang Suizhou casually waved his hand to let them get up and asked lightly.
"I heard Changyun say that you have the ability to eliminate all diseases. Is that right?" He lazily lifted his tea and said indifferently, "You should be aware, this Prince hates being cheated."
After saying that, he glanced at those two. His gaze swept and actually found that the apprentice behind that old doctor looked backwards, seemingly looking at Huo Wujiu.
Jiang Suizhou frowned: "What are you looking at?"
The disciple hastily withdrew his gaze and lowered his head, as if he was suddenly reprimanded and frightened.
But Jiang Suizhou's frown deepened.
In that moment when the apprentice quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head, Jiang Suizhou seemed to have caught a glimmer of tears in his eyes.
He had the appearance of a person trying to hold back tears, his eyes reddening from the restraint.
