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

"Madam, should we send someone to rescue Miss Xu?"

The emperor had to return to the capital a month ago due to urgent matters. Before leaving, he called her to the next room and told her in a deep voice to take good care of the empress and the little prince.

At this moment, Miss Xu suddenly got into trouble, and Qingzhi was a little worried about his wife and wanted to go and rescue her herself.

Jiang Wumei didn't say anything, but looked up and glanced at Qingzhi.

After a moment, in the silence of the room, Jiang Wumei suddenly spoke:

"Go and call the Qilin Guards."

"..."

Qingzhi was so frightened that he didn't react for a moment.

After a moment of shock, Qingzhi realized what his wife had said. He was shocked and knelt down in front of Jiang Wumei, saying in panic:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean to deceive you."

Qingzhi never expected that his own queen actually knew everything.

She thought she had kept it a secret very well. After the Empress gave birth, those in the palace who knew the inside story were warned and dealt with by the Emperor.

Qingzhi didn't understand how his wife had figured out the clues.

Jiang Wumei looked at Qingzhi's lowered head, and various ways to save Xu Junjun quickly emerged in her mind.

Ultimately, only the fastest and most direct method is used.

Jun Xiaochen is the regent of Apocalypse, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Even if she takes her child to Apocalypse, she will not be able to compete with the powerful Jun Xiaochen.

If she wants to save Junjun, she has only one choice.

Lowering her eyes to hide the coldness in them, Jiang Wumei spoke softly:

"Get up. You were just following orders. I don't blame you."

"Thank you, empress."

Qingzhi kowtowed vigorously, quickly got up, and whispered:

"Before the Emperor left, he left behind a group of Qilin Guards to protect you and the young prince.

If your Majesty needs anything, I will call someone in immediately."

Jiang Wumei nodded, and waited for Qingzhi to turn and leave before turning to look at the lush osmanthus tree in the yard.

Junjun is her only sister here, and she must rescue her no matter what.

Jun Xiaochen, if he dares to touch a hair on Jun Jun, she will definitely retaliate a thousand times.

Revenge has always been Jiang Wumei's life creed. If someone crosses her line and crushes her, she will make him regret what he did today.

Soon, a man in black followed Qingzhi back to the room.

As soon as he entered the door, the man half-knelt down in front of Jiang Wumei and said respectfully:

"Qilin Guard Chen San greets the Imperial Noble Consort."

Jiang Wumei raised her eyes, her sparkling gaze falling on the man in front of her.

"How many people do you have in Yunzhou?"

"To your Majesty, there are sixty-seven Qilin Guards remaining in Yunzhou, all at your disposal."

Sixty-seven.

Jiang Wumei was a little surprised. This number was not as simple as the Qilin Guard that Qingzhi mentioned.

If she remembered correctly, there were only 106 officially registered members of the Qilin Guard.

Excluding the leader Chen Yu, there are only 105 people left.

After removing the personnel who could not be transferred to important positions, Xiao Tong kept almost all the members of the Qilin Guard in Yunzhou.

It seems that he really cares about his first child.

Yes, Xiao Tong had no children, so no matter whether this baby was a boy or a girl, it would be the Great Sage's first prince or princess. No wonder Xiao Tong cared so much about it.

Jiang Wumei smiled coldly and looked at Chen San:

"I want you to personally lead the thirty Qilin Guards to reunite with Chen Liu and ensure Junjun's safety in Tianqi. Can you do it?"

Chen San lowered his head and responded:

"Your Highness, it is my duty to protect you and the young prince. Without the Emperor's order, I would not dare to leave my post."

This answer was within Jiang Wumei's expectations. Xiao Tong had a strong desire for control. When she was still the prince's concubine, he sent people to monitor her day and night.

It doesn't make sense that after she fled the capital and brought him such humiliation, he would still let his subordinates obey her orders.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wumei's eyes became more solemn, and she spoke lightly:

"Where is the emperor now?

This palace wants to see the emperor."

This is the first time Jiang Wumei calls herself "this palace" since leaving the palace.

Her eyes were slightly downcast, and she carried a majesty and solemnity that had been absent for a long time, as if she were in a magnificent palace, rather than a mansion in a corner of Yunzhou.

Chen San didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Wumei's face, which was as beautiful as a lotus. He bowed his head deeply and replied respectfully:

"Your Highness, when the Emperor left Yunzhou, he said that if you wish to see him, you can simply send a message. You don't need to travel that far."

Jiang Wumei hummed and nodded:

"Go down."

After Chen San left, Qingzhi looked at Jiang Wumei hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Jiang Wumei look sideways.

"Ask anything you want to ask."

After putting the letter paper away, Jiang Wumei took out a piece of letter paper and pretended to pick up a pen.

Qingzhi hurried forward to grind the ink and spoke carefully:

"My lady, when did you find out?

Why, why have you never asked me?"

Jiang Wumei picked up the pen, lowered her head and wrote as she said:

“I realized something was wrong a few days after giving birth.

But I was really sure about it when a cat entered the house ten days ago."

When Jiang Wumei said this, Qingzhi remembered everything.

On that day, the little prince was sleeping in the room. One of his two wet nurses was going to the toilet, and the other was taking a nap in the room. A tabby cat came out of nowhere and ran to the little prince's cradle, ready to hit the little prince's face with its sharp claws.

At that time, she and the empress were just coming from the main hall. When they saw the scene, they were about to shout loudly to scare away the wild cat, but they never expected that the Qilin Guard who was secretly protecting the little prince would take the initiative to attack and use a small stone bullet to fly away the wild cat.

At that time, the Qilin Guards acted quickly, and the stones were very small and inconspicuous. At first glance, it looked like a wild cat that was frightened by something and suddenly fled away. It was impossible to tell that it was man-made.

Qingzhi didn't expect that the Empress could determine what she was thinking just based on a scene that had no signs at the time.

The Queen was indeed still the same as she was in the palace, taking in the overall situation and being careful and alert.

Qingzhi's face was filled with deep shame. He walked to Jiang Wumei's side and knelt again:

"My lady, it is not that this servant intentionally deceives you.

When you gave birth that day, you were in a panic and the Emperor suddenly appeared in your residence. I was also very surprised.

But that night, the emperor only ordered the servants to serve the empress well and showed no intention of punishing her.

I know you don't want to return to the palace, but thinking that you and the little prince also need care, I took the initiative not to tell you about this.

My Lady, I have failed to live up to your trust. Please punish me!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wumei turned her head and looked at Qingzhi's tearful face. She sighed in her heart and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​returning to the palace to replace her.

However, this incident also sounded a wake-up call for Jiang Wumei.

Here, apart from Junjun, she cannot truly trust anyone, not even Qingzhi.

No matter from which angle, Qingzhi chose to conceal the matter and did not explain the situation at the first time, which shows that Qingzhi did not fully believe in her ability.

Jiang Wumei couldn't trust someone who doubted his own abilities.

But at the moment, Jiang Wumei temporarily believes that Qingzhi is loyal. With this feeling, Jiang Wumei is willing to give her another chance.
