Chapter 115: No Ambiguity (Thanks to Squirrel Baby for the reward)
In fact, Gu Changxiao is a very good roommate. When there are no outsiders around, he will not rely on his status as the True Li King to be harsh to Jinsui.
There was only one bed in the hut, and Jinsui took the initiative to ask to sleep on the floor at night. As a result, Gu Changxiao lay down on two benches without saying a word and gave the bed to Jinsui.
The main reason was that it was inconvenient for her to enter the space since she lived in the same room with him. Although it would not affect the time after entering the space and coming out, at most Gu Changxiao would find that she had been in a state of soul-transportation for one or two breaths.
But it was impossible to guess what Jinsui was doing, but she couldn't explain why she changed into clean clothes and re-bandaged her wounds in the blink of an eye.
She couldn't even go to the toilet in the space.
It was so embarrassing to talk about this! She was used to going to the bathroom and taking a shower in the space. She slept in the same room with Gu Changxiao for the first two nights and didn't think about this problem at all.
It was Gu Changxiao who suggested: "Your wound cannot be exposed to water. Just bear with not taking a bath for the next few days."
Gu Changxiao had heard from the soldiers that the first order issued by the King of Li upon arriving at the border town was that everyone must take a bath every day, wash their hair every three days, and must not be dirty, smelly, or infested with bugs.
What he understood was that Taoist Master Xiao Ji was used to cleanliness in the Taoist temple, so naturally he couldn't stand seeing others being dirty and smelly.
She could still fool him about taking a shower. On the first night, Gu Changxiao discovered that she did not get up to sleep, so he paid special attention to her during the day. Because they were busy with various post-war issues, the two of them hardly touched the ground.
But Gu Changxiao still noticed that Taoist Xiao Ji drank a lot of tea but never went to the toilet.
The next night he put a chamber pot under his bed.
Seeing that Jin Sui was still useless, he reminded her in a subtle way: "I know your body... has many inconveniences. If you need to get up at night, tell me I'm leaving, don't force yourself."
At that moment, Jin Sui's heart was filled with alarm bells, and only one sentence was circling in his mind: "He knows my physical condition!" What condition? Did he find out that I was a woman dressed as a man? He stuttered and asked, "You, do you know what inconvenience I have?"
Gu Changxiao originally wanted to fool them. After all, they were all men, and matters of that nature were a matter of dignity and a sore spot for men.
But he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Taoist Xiao Ji and they could become close friends, so it was better for him to talk it out at once.
He sat up on the bench and looked at Jin Sui on the bed in the dim candlelight: "Master Gu told me everything. I didn't expect that it would be so difficult for you, Master Ji."
"Don't worry, I won't look down on you. Sima Qian was also castrated, but he also became famous throughout the ages. Taoist Xiao Ji has great talent..."
Jin Sui sat up suddenly, raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, slow down your compliments, tell me first, what did my grandfather say to you?"
He is a man of great talent. I am embarrassed to hear that! In this era, bosses can say anything that goes against their conscience to keep their employees. When the rumor that the King of Li had robbed the beautiful concubine of the Zheng family and had an affair with the noble lady of the Yan family spread throughout Yan, Gu Changxiao was angry that she had ruined the reputation of the King of Li, and Grandpa Ling told him.
Ji Sui lost his penis since childhood and became a eunuch.
Jin Sui couldn't see his own expression. If he looked in the mirror, it would be very interesting! He is indeed my grandfather! Our ancestors have similar brain circuits! I just said that I am inhumane, and you said I am a eunuch! Inhumanity is at most a disease, but eunuchs are just tools.
Grandpa, you really don't take your grandson's reputation seriously! I guess Grandpa Ling thinks the same as me. Ji Sui did something shameful and his reputation was ruined. What does it have to do with me, Ling Jin Sui! Seeing Jin Sui's expression was wrong, Gu Changxiao wondered: "Could it be that what Taoist Ji said was false?"
Jin Sui said hurriedly: "No, no, no, I have indeed been... that thing since I was a child.
I wanted to enter the palace but didn’t. If I had, I might be your eunuch now!"
Seeing that he did not feel inferior due to his disability, Gu Changxiao chuckled and said:
"So, Taoist priest Xiao Ji, don't worry that I will laugh at you. It is indeed inconvenient for you to use the toilet, but you also have to take care of your body."
Jin Sui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What am I now? From a woman dressed as a man to a man dressed as a eunuch? Gu Changxiao, you are a prince, aren't you a little too boring? You even paid attention to me when I didn't go to the toilet!
She suddenly realized that Gu Changxiao was so lenient with her and didn't mind at all that she had ruined his reputation.
Others came to the border town and allowed him to continue to be the King of Li.
Is it because he thinks that since he is a eunuch, he will not be a threat to him no matter how much he does, so he is so indulgent?
Look at the people that those in power fear. There are those who fear military generals and civil officials, and those who are overlords. Have you ever heard of anyone who fears eunuchs?
On second thought, if he were not a 'eunuch', Gu Changxiao would not trust the fake King Li who had made great contributions and had a very high prestige in the army.
Then he is the one with a mental problem! He would have died in the palace coup in Chang'an and would not have lived to the border town.
Jinsui was soon relieved. Anyway, he wouldn't be the King of Li for long. He just had to do his last bit and fight for more rights for the soldiers at the border. Then Jisui could retire with honor.
In order to fool Gu Changxiao, Jinsui had to go into the space less often. Of course, the chamber pot could not be used, so we used the public toilet.
When I read novels in my previous life, the male and female protagonists were in the same room, it was so ambiguous and romantic!
What about the slightly exposed shoulders, the two rolled over face to face in their sleep without realizing it, the heroine talked in her sleep and was heard by the hero...
In her case, Gu Changxiao truly regarded her as a disabled person, and she was truly on guard against being discovered by Gu Changxiao.
There is no ambiguity at all.
Jin Sui consoled herself that it could only mean that Gu Changxiao was not the male lead! How could there be any romance in a laborer and a startup boss living in the same room?
Because ever since that night when Gu Changxiao saved Jinsui from the Tartars' knife, the two have been inseparable, eating and sleeping together.
Heihu once carefully asked Jinsui if he could still be the prince's personal guard after he recovered from his injuries.
Jin Sui hurriedly promoted Hei Hu to the rank of eighth-rank lieutenant while he was still the King of Li. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you will be responsible for training new soldiers and leading the team well."
Heihu glanced at Gu Changxiao and didn't react at the time, but Jinsui heard later that Heihu had sought out Gu Changxiao for 'practice'.
They said they were afraid that his ability was not enough to protect the prince, but needless to say, from the horse riding and archery competition to weapons, and to bare hands, Gu Changxiao won in every competition.
The two competed in the military camp, attracting many soldiers to watch, and Gu Changxiao's kung fu was admired by all the soldiers.
Han Xing, Cheng Yu and others had no doubt about Gu Changxiao's identity, and had nothing to say about the fact that he and the prince were inseparable.
However, Yan Shiyilang, who came to the border frequently, noticed something was wrong and asked Hei Hu, "Don't you want the big black guy to follow you?"
Jin Sui smiled and said, "Hei Hu got promoted. You miss him so much, why don't you give him a gift?"
Yan Shiyi raised an eyebrow at Gu Changxiao: "What is the name of this soldier? How come the two of you eat and live together? The big black guy didn't do this before."
After he finished speaking, he motioned for Jin Sui to lean over and lower his head. Jin Sui did not doubt him and leaned over to listen, only to hear the man say in a very mean tone: "This guy is quite handsome! Could it be that the prince is no longer a womanizer, but a manizer? Hehe."
Before Jin Sui could kick out, he saw Gu Changxiao stretch out his arm, grab Yan Shiyi by the collar and throw him away.
