After the disabled god of war became my concubine

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The pain from the palm of his hand shot through his central nervous system, and he was in such pain that his spirits cleared, but the picture in front of him did not change at all.

Due to the pain, his eyes even turned chilly for a moment, making the eunuch in front of him shiver in fright.

...He did seem to have somehow become a man from ancient times.

This man should be a royalty in the last years of the Jing Dynasty. As for the rest...he didn't know anything.

Oh, he knew one more thing.

This person was marrying a concubine today. But because he had now become him, the concubine, too, had become his.

That was all the information he got. The eunuch in front of him was still all smiles while standing here with a bow, waiting for him to go into the nuptial chamber.

Jiang Suizhou's head was on the verge of exploding.

...What was this all about?!

He was frantic deep inside, but none of it showed on his face.

The eunuch seemed a little anxious, and his smile turned somewhat bitter. He lowered his voice, and his tone grew painstakingly persuasive.

"Master, this servant knows you're unwilling, but it is the Emperor's decree after all..." He advised, "Even if you don't like it, just go through the motions! That person...I heard that his martial arts have been abolished earlier on, and he is now a cripple. It's very safe, so you don't have to worry."

...Someone's martial arts was abolished, and he became crippled?

Jian Suizhou's eyes showed bafflement.

Was this a game of power play?

He alone knew that at the end of the Jing dynasty, the dynasty was rotten, and the emperor was muddleheaded. In particular, Emperor Jingyou, the last emperor of Jing, was notoriously absurd and fatuous, a self-indulgent ruler. History recorded that he was obsessed with beauty and treated imperial affairs as child's play. He was especially partial to his relatives and allowed his uncle Pang Shao to run amok.

However, the Jing Dynasty had only a few heirs. By the time Emperor Jingyou came into power, most of the royal children of the same generation had died prematurely, leaving only Jingwang, an invalid who died in the prime of his youth.

Because of this, the Jing Dynasty fled south for a few years before it was wiped out by the rising Liang Dynasty.

But now...it seemed that he was also a part of this chaotic and despotic court.

Jiang Suizhou had a bitter taste in his mouth.

What evil deed did he commit that made him go from being a corporate with a comfortable life to being a noble aristocrat of a doomed dynasty?

Was it because he had just scolded his student a little too hard?

How was that possible?

Just then, there was a call from outside.

"Qianshan-gongong1, the bridal palanquin has already been carried into Yincui Pavilion," informed a maid.

The eunuch gritted his teeth and raised his voice, "What's the hurry!"

The maid immediately shut her mouth.

The eunuch turned his head and looked earnestly at Jiang Suizhou again, his eyes full of pleading.

Jiang Suizhou knew that in this situation, he was bound to face the nuptial chamber, and he'd die either way. But since the lady married him against her wishes and was also disabled, he thought he could easily muddle through today's wedding night.

As for the rest...

Wait until he survived today first, and then he could slowly figure out his identity and situation before making plans.

He mumbled a faint hum and stood up.

The eunuch's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to help him.

Jiang Suizhou was unaccustomed to being served. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he stood up, he felt weak, tired, and a little dizzy.

He could only let the eunuch support him.

He stepped off the platform. Next to him was a floor-to-ceiling western mirror. Jiang Suizhou glanced at it sideways and saw his reflection in the mirror.

...He actually looked exactly the same as himself, but looked two or three years younger. He appeared to be about twenty-four or twenty-five.

His students had previously complimented him on his good looks and said he looked like a villain. Jiang Suizhou originally denied it, but looking at the person in the mirror now, Jiang Suizhou agreed...

He didn't look like a good person.

He was already beautifully cold and appeared extremely heartless to begin with. Along with his long hair and wide sleeves, he looked even more exquisite and far removed from the masses. His eyes, in particular, were inherently cold. A faint glance at people could freeze their hearts.

Jiang Suizhou retracted his gaze, and out of the corner of his eye, he found a small vermillion dot adorning the tip of his upper left eyelid.

This mole was something he didn't have originally.

However, before he could take a closer look, the eunuch led him past the mirror and towards the door.
