Jiang Wumei didn't know what Jun Xiaochen did to her during the hour that Xu Junjun disappeared.

When Xu Junjun was sent back to the room, her face looked much paler and there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

Thinking that Jun Xiaochen had tortured her, Jiang Wumei quickly stepped forward and took Xu Junjun into her arms, warming her trembling body and nervously asking:

"What happened? Did Jun Xiaochen torture you?"

Pressing down Jiang Wumei's nervously checking hand, Xu Junjun's pale face showed a comforting smile:

"Don't worry, I'm fine.

It's just that Jun Xiaochen, that bastard, was so mean. He made me so angry that I felt dizzy and my hands were shaking. I just need to rest for a while."

Holding Xu Junjun's cold hand, Jiang Wumei's eyes welled up with tears:

"Just bear with it for a while. Once we get ashore, I'll find a way to get out."

Xu Junjun pursed her lips and remained silent for two seconds before nodding:

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements then.

Niao Niao, I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while."

Jiang Wumei felt a lump in her throat and hummed softly. She helped her to the bed, bent down to take off her shoes and socks and let her lie down to rest.

Xu Junjun closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep. Jiang Wumei sat beside the bed, staring at her overly pale eyebrows and eyes. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes, exactly the same as Xiao Tong in the palace.

The next day, the sky was bright.

The group met again on the deck with a new ship owner.

Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun went to the bow of the boat to get some fresh air, while Jun Xiaochen sat in a wide chair and looked through some letters.

Jiang Wumei's eyes swept over the letter in his hand that was engraved with the secret code of Apocalypse. Her eyes darkened slightly. She basked in the sun with Xu Junjun for a while, then went into the cabin to rest.

To Jiang Wumei's surprise, Jun Xiaochen didn't bother them for the next two days.

During this period, he only asked Xu Junjun to prescribe an antidote for him, as if he was not worried at all that she would do something tampering with the medicine. As soon as the prescription was ready, he ordered someone to get the medicine.

Jiang Wumei saw everything, and her heart was in turmoil. She looked at Jun Xiaochen with a gaze as cold as a pond, and there was a rare hint of murderous intent.

On the third day, the ship docked safely.

Whether it was accidental or intentional, Jiang Wumei and Jun Xiaochen were taking the same route.

After being surprised, Jiang Wumei quickly calmed down. Before leaving, she stayed by Xu Junjun's side all day to prevent her from being alone again.

After two days of traveling together, Jiang Wumei proposed to part ways with Jun Xiaochen.

Jun Xiaochen did not stop him, but when they left, he stared at Xu Junjun intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Junjun clenched her hands, and looked at him with astonishing hatred. She secretly swore in her heart that one day she would trample this bastard under her feet and savage him!

After successfully separating from Jun Xiaochen and others, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun changed their luggage, hired another carriage, and rushed to Jiangnan.

Two days had passed since they left Jun Xiaochen, the evil star. When Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun were resting at an inn, they finally asked that question:

"Junjun, tell me the truth, did Jun Xiaochen threaten you a few days ago on the boat?

What did he threaten you with?

My life?

Or something else?

A spark suddenly ignited in Jiang Wumei's eyes, and she grabbed Xu Junjun's slightly cold hand tightly.

Xu Junjun was eating with big mouthfuls of food. When she heard Jiang Wumei's words, her chopsticks froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and she started picking out dishes.

"Niao Niao, what are you talking about.

How could that bastard Jun Xiaochen threaten me?

I was just afraid that if he died, those men would chop us into pieces, so I was kind enough not to poison him."

After stuffing a mouthful of shredded pork into her mouth, Xu Junjun picked up another piece of beef for Jiang Wumei and urged her:

"Don't mention that bastard, it's unlucky.

Niaoniao, please eat quickly. I took your pulse yesterday and found that your mood has been fluctuating greatly in the past two days, and your fetus is a little unstable.

After dinner, I'll go get two doses of pregnancy-maintaining medicine, boil them back, and give them to you to drink for two days."

Jiang Wumei stared at Xu Junjun with half belief and half doubt. She knew that Xu Junjun must be hiding something from her, but if Xu Junjun didn't tell her, she had no way of knowing the whole story.

However, she remembered the grudge against Jun Xiaochen.

If she has the chance in the future, she will definitely avenge Junjun.

……

Knowing that Jiang Wumei was alive, but still receiving no news, Xiao Tong's face was always gloomy and his whole body was filled with frightening low energy.

Zhao Qi was ordered to keep an eye on the father and son of the Jiang family for ten days, but he didn't find anything unusual. When he returned to the palace to report that day, he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that the emperor would be angry with him for his poor performance and punish him with fifty lashes of the cane.

After Zhao Qi finished his trembling report, Xiao Tong threw the memorial in his hand aside. His dark eyes fell coldly on his back, which was bent like a shrimp, and he scolded him angrily:

“We’ve been searching for so long, but there’s not a single clue.

What a bunch of rubbish! "

Thinking that this was indeed the case, Zhao Qi made a bitter face and dared not say a word.

God knows how he got through this period of time.

Killing, killing, killing.

Then I kept looking for people, looking for people, and looking for people.

Out of the twelve hours in a day, he spent ten hours busy like a top, running around the capital.

He felt like he was about to become a badger in a melon field, jumping up and down and making people laugh.

Now, he missed the days when he was a secret guard in the Prince's Mansion very much.

At that time, although there were occasionally a few foolish assassins who came to assassinate the emperor, after killing them, he at least had a chance to breathe.

Unlike now, he was a secret guard whose main job was to protect others, but was sent by the emperor to find someone.

It's really tiring and uncomfortable.

Just when Zhao Qi could no longer withstand the threat of Xiao Tong's death, Chen Yu, the leader of the Qilin Guard, appeared and saved him from danger.

"Your Majesty, I have found some clues about the Imperial Concubine."

Chen Yu walked quickly into the imperial study, knelt down with Zhao Qi, and reported calmly.

Xiao Tong was overjoyed and stood up to ask:

"What clues? Report immediately!"

Chen Yu clenched his fist and nodded:

"Your Majesty, about half a month ago, the Imperial Concubine went to a clothing store in Liuzhuang, a suburb of Beijing, with a woman, purchased two sets of dresses, and left."

woman?

Dress?

Xiao Tong's dark eyes darkened, and he felt bitter in his heart, but he still insisted on asking:

"What was the Imperial Concubine's expression at that time?

Is there any danger of being coerced?"

Chen Yu paused and shook his head:

"I, your subordinate, took the portrait of the Imperial Concubine and searched every shop and inn one by one until I found the owner of this clothing store.

According to the boss, after the imperial concubine arrived at the store, she and the other woman behaved intimately, like sisters, and did not show any sign of asking for help.

Xiao Tong's heart sank as he suddenly remembered the fire in Zhongcui Palace. He slammed the imperial desk and said sternly:

"Zhao Qi!"

"Chen is here!"

Zhao Qi's heart trembled, and he immediately lowered his head and responded loudly.

"Did you discover anything unusual when you were rebuilding Zhongcui Palace?"

Xiao Tong's black eyes were filled with murderous intent. The teacup shattered under his palm, cutting his palm open.

His palm was covered in blood, but it was far less painful than the pain he felt at the moment.

Niaoniao abandoned him on purpose.

She doesn't want wealth and glory.

She also doesn't want him anymore!

"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual.

When the craftsmen rebuilt the Zhongcui Palace, they laid all the walls and tiles with new materials and found nothing wrong with them!"

Zhao Qi answered quickly, fearing that if he answered too slowly, he would be kicked out of the imperial study by the emperor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tong's face became even darker, and he looked at him as if he were looking at a stupid pig:

"I originally ordered that Zhongcui Palace be dug up three feet deep to search for clues to the Imperial Concubine's disappearance!

How dare you turn a deaf ear to my words!"
