The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Jiang Wumei touched her lower abdomen, her heart was in turmoil and shock, not knowing what to do.

Sensing her panic and uneasiness, Xu Junjun slightly tightened the hand holding her arm, waited for her to glance sideways, blinked and smiled:

"Niao Niao, you should be happy. This is a great gift specially prepared for me by God."

"Big gift?"

Jiang Wumei was still in shock and kept repeating her words.

Xu Junjun nodded vigorously:

“Of course it’s a great gift. Think about it, we’ve both suffered at the hands of men, and when we go to Jiangnan, we’ll definitely not marry anyone again.

God must have seen that we wanted to live out our lives alone, so he sent such a little life to us.

With this little guy, our future life will be wonderful and we will never be lonely again."

As he spoke, Xu Junjun waved his hand and said proudly:

"Niao Niao, just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy, and give birth to the baby safely.

From now on, we are all the little one's mothers and will never let him suffer any injustice! "

Xu Junjun's determined attitude gave Jiang Wumei great courage.

The panic in her eyes completely faded away, and a bright light flashed in Jiang Wumei's peach blossom eyes, and she gradually became firm:

"Yes, since the child chose me, I can't give up on him.

From now on, the three of us will face the storm together."

Xu Junjun nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice, and helped Jiang Wumei back to the table as if she were a national treasure.

After pouring her a glass of warm water and moving the fishy fish away, Xu Junjun sat down next to her and stared at her belly with amazement.

"It's hard to believe, Niao Niao, you're actually going to have a baby!

You and Xiao Tong are both good-looking, and the baby you give birth to will definitely be very beautiful."

Counting the months, Jiang Wumei has been pregnant for less than two months, but Xu Junjun is already imagining how cute the baby will look after it is born.

Jiang Wumei was about to have a new identity, and she looked forward to it, with a smile on her lips:

"No matter whether the child is beautiful or not, he is my treasure."

Xu Junjun giggled and agreed:

"Yes, as long as it's your child, it's our child. No matter what it looks like, I like it.

hey-hey. "

Looking at her silly look, Jiang Wumei was in a good mood and urged her with her chopsticks:

"Stop smiling like an idiot and eat your meal quickly.

After dinner, we will wash up and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the city to buy medicinal herbs and make medicine."

"Yes, yes, yes. Now that you are pregnant, we must be careful and must not let you get a miscarriage."

After being reminded by Jiang Wumei, Xu Junjun also became serious and began to think about which poisons to refine in the next few days that would be most suitable for him.

The next morning, Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei got up early.

The two of them first went to a clothing store to buy two sets of dresses, let their long hair down, and dressed like unmarried girls. Then they went to the drugstore with veils on to buy medicinal herbs.

Xu Junjun was born with a knack for bargaining. He bought more than thirty kinds of medicinal herbs at the pharmacy, but relied on his eloquence to bargain down the price to ten taels of silver.

Jiang Wumei stood aside, watching her silently. Only after she successfully bargained did she come forward and help her carry the herbs back to the inn.

Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei stayed in this city for five days.

During these five days, Xu Junjun worked almost non-stop to refine the poison, just because he wanted to set off early and was afraid of any accidents.

Jiang Wumei felt sorry for her, so she rolled up her sleeves and helped grind the medicine into powder. During this time, she heard a lot of gossip about herself from outside.

For example, the new emperor's favorite imperial concubine died in the fire and turned into charcoal. The new emperor actually stabbed Princess Luo Ling with a sword and killed several groups of palace maids in the harem.

For example, the Imperial Noble Consort's brother, the Minister of Revenue Jiang Yuanzhou, personally wrote a petition requesting that all the staff in Princess Luo Ling's mansion be beaten to death with sticks. The new emperor approved it, and the princess's mansion was flooded with blood that day.

What's worse, the new emperor angered the deposed queen in the cold palace and ordered her to be executed, ending her life with a cup of poisoned wine.

The death of the Imperial Noble Consort triggered a series of major events that could shake the government. People in the court and the harem were in a panic and felt insecure.

In just a few days, when Jiang Wumei heard the news from the palace again, she felt as if she was in another world.

Especially when she heard that Jiang Yuanzhou was willing to offend the family of his deposed empress for her, and personally wrote a letter to kill all the staff of Princess Luo Ling's mansion, her heart was filled with warmth.

She recognized Jiang Yuanzhou as her brother.

If there is a chance in the future, I will repay him.

But there has been no chance in recent years.

Xiao Tong was a suspicious person by nature, and a charred corpse was probably not enough to convince him that he was completely dead.

Only by completely disappearing from this world for ten years can he ensure the safety of the Jiang family and himself.

Before that, she must not contact anyone from the Jiang family. Otherwise, once Xiao Tong finds out, she will face an even more miserable ending than being deposed first.

With a chill in her heart, the day after Xu Junjun finished refining the medicine, Jiang Wumei disguised herself as siblings with her, found a team of bodyguards, and immediately set off for Jiangnan.

Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun lied that they were a group of siblings from a merchant family in Jiangnan who were out for fun and had unfortunately been separated from their servants. As long as the escort could safely send them to Jiangnan, they would offer him a thousand taels of silver as a reward.

This team of bodyguards had traveled extensively for many years and had seen a lot of the world. Seeing that although the two men were dressed in ordinary clothes, they had an unattainable aura that was not comparable to ordinary people, they immediately believed their words, accepted a deposit of two hundred taels, and gathered people.

Hua Yitian gathered twenty men and horses, and the escort protected Xu Junjun, who was dressed in men's clothes, and Jiang Wumei, and set off for Jiangnan.

……

Ever since he was rescued from Zhongcui Palace by Zhao Qi that night and saw the charred corpse in Zhongcui Palace, the new emperor seemed like a different person, violent, ruthless and irritable.

Any minister in the court who committed any dereliction of duty would be removed from his post by the new emperor, thrown into prison, and await trial.

If the circumstances were serious, the new emperor would show no mercy and directly order the execution.

The new emperor's way of governing was very similar to that of a cruel official, which made all officials in the court feel insecure. They acted more cautiously in the officialdom, fearing that they would be caught and have their heads and bodies separated.

Zhao Qi has been suffering terribly these days.

On the night when Zhongcui Palace caught fire, it was he who carried the emperor out.

After the emperor regained consciousness, he learned that he had failed to save the imperial concubine, and immediately dismissed him from his post and investigated him.

However, he was not allowed to return home to rest. He was required to wait for punishment every day to thoroughly investigate the truth behind the fire in Zhongcui Palace.

After he finally found out that the fire was related to the princess, the emperor asked him to follow Jiang Yuanzhou to the princess's mansion to kill someone.

Over the next few days, countless staff members, palace maids, and eunuchs died at his hands.

When he returned home yesterday, the little black dog in the mansion did not wag its tail when it saw him, but barked at him non-stop. Zhao Qi sighed to the sky. If he continued to kill like this, he would probably have to go to Master Chen to ask for an exorcism talisman.
