The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 22: Shocked by the Truth
In the end, Jiang Wumei still let the white tiger cub go.
She led everyone out of the bedroom, leaving the white tiger cub busy in the litter box alone.
Finally, he finished defecating smoothly. Xiao Tong was in a good mood. But when he realized that he was happy about having to go to the toilet, his face turned dark again.
After another five or six days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still had not woken up in his bedroom, and the entire Crown Prince's Mansion was in turmoil.
Jiang Wumei's heart was even more tense, and she always felt uneasy. Every day when she held the white tiger cub to amuse herself, her eyes were filled with worry.
At noon, snow began to fall again in the capital.
The wind and snow were howling outside the bedroom, but it was warm like spring inside.
Jiang Wumei, wearing a thin skirt, was lying on the couch holding the white tiger cub. She looked at the tiger arching its little butt and sniffing back and forth on a pile of white papers, with a smile on her face.
She and Qingzhi were the only ones in the hall. Looking at her master, Qingzhi recalled the rumors she had heard this morning and lowered her voice.
"Your Highness, His Highness has not woken up for many days, and the servants in the mansion are inevitably uneasy.
Would you like me to gather everyone in the mansion together so that Your Majesty can come out and give them a good scolding?"
Jiang Wumei was in charge of the household affairs in the Prince's Mansion. In the past, when Xiao Tong was not doing anything, the servants all followed the rules and did not dare to have any bad thoughts.
At this moment, seeing that Xiao Tong had not regained consciousness for half a month, the servants began to spread rumors that the Crown Prince might have been poisoned. Rumors arose in the mansion, and no one knew where they started, and they could not be suppressed.
Looking at the yellow plum blossoms blooming proudly in the courtyard under the wind and snow, Jiang Wumei raised her hand and stroked the white tiger cub's smooth back, chuckling softly:
“What are you hitting them for?
Chun Yurong wants to use these rumors to trip me up. She underestimates me.
Later, you will take a team of guards and capture the most troublesome women these days. Tomorrow, you will beat them to death in front of everyone. Those who value their lives will naturally not dare to cause trouble for me again."
Qingzhi smiled and spoke sincerely:
"Your Majesty has been very thoughtful. It is I who have been worrying too much."
Then, Qingzhi changed the subject, speaking with confusion:
"But it's been ten days, and His Highness has been in a coma. Aren't you worried, Your Majesty?"
After Qingzhi said this, Xiao Tong, who was sniffing the paper, stopped and looked at Jiang Wumei.
Looking at her beautiful face, Xiao Tong also wanted to know how she would answer.
Jiang Wumei caressed the white tiger cub's head intermittently, with a distant smile on her lips:
"Your Highness and I are only bound together by mutual interests. Whether he is unconscious or awake does not make much difference to me."
Qingzhi was stunned. He had never heard his master explain the relationship between himself and His Highness in this way. He was confused and shocked.
"Your Highness, how could it be that His Highness dotes on you so much, it's just purely about personal gain?
Did you misunderstand His Highness?"
Jiang Wumei snorted and laughed, her tone mocking:
“I hope it’s a misunderstanding.
It is true that His Highness favors me, but all of this favor is for another person.
If I could choose, I would rather be a quiet and free concubine of the Crown Prince, without being burdened by him or enduring the hardships that other women endure."
"My lady, I don't understand what you are saying?
His Highness's favor is his love and affirmation of you, how could it be for another person?"
Even though Qingzhi was Jiang Wumei's confidant, she was still confused by what she heard.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. You just need to understand that in the future, don’t provoke Chun Yurong unless necessary.
In the near future, the person who will accompany His Highness to the throne will surely be this usually gentle, demure, and pure Concubine, not this Concubine Jiang, who is favored by the Crown Prince."
Jiang Wumei warned Qingzhi not to have too high expectations, so that she would not target Chun Yurong in the future. After she left, she would be taken to Chun Yurong and tortured.
"Your Highness, according to you, the person His Highness truly loves is Concubine Chun?
As for you, is it just a temporary choice made by His Highness out of helplessness?"
Qingzhi's face was filled with shock.
She is worthy of being the personal maid specially selected by Madam Jiang for Jiang Wumei. She is smart and sees everything.
Jiang Wumei nodded with satisfaction.
"exactly.
Therefore, you must be careful when facing Concubine Chun with me in the future.
Chun Yurong is sweet-mouthed but treacherous, and she's vindictive. If you target her too much, you'll be in trouble once she gains power."
Qingzhi's face turned pale with anger. Thinking of the Crown Prince's identity, he could only speak up for his master:
"My Lady, Qingzhi is your slave for one day and will be your slave for the rest of her life.
Regardless of whether you are favored or not, Qingzhi will abide by her duties and serve you loyally.
It's good to have His Highness's favor, but it's no problem if you don't. As the Crown Prince's concubine, you can live a prosperous life to the end of your life."
Qingzhi burst into tears as she spoke. Jiang Wumei felt a pang of pain in her teeth and said quickly:
"Okay, stop crying. I've known about your highness's affairs for a long time and I don't care about them anymore. You don't have to take it to heart."
Qingzhi was unhappy, and said with red eyes and gritted teeth:
"My Lady, aren't you angry that His Highness is using you like this?
Since you already know the truth, why do you still want to cooperate with His Highness in acting?
Moreover, we already broke off relations with Concubine Chun last time. Your Majesty, why should you torture yourself and continue to be a shield for this abusive person? "
Jiang Wumei smiled:
"I have my own considerations, don't worry about it.
Just remember one thing: don't mess with Chun Yurong in the future, or I won't be able to protect you in front of His Highness."
Qingzhi felt mixed emotions after hearing this, and suddenly remembered the reminder the Empress had given her last time.
No wonder the Queen repeatedly warned herself not to set her sights on Concubine Chun. It turned out that the Queen knew that Concubine Chun was the Prince's true love.
Thinking of this, Qingzhi's eyes began to turn red again.
Xiao Tong, who was standing by, was so shocked that his pupils widened after hearing the conversation between the two.
Jiang Wumei actually knew!
When did she notice?
Why didn't she argue with me after she found out, but instead endured everything silently?!
What does she want to do?
Xiao Tong froze in place. His usually wise and brave mind was completely unable to think straight. He just stared blankly at Jiang Wumei's delicate and beautiful profile, his heart aching.
That day outside the prince's bedroom, he had already recognized Chun Yurong's face and knew that she was not as simple as he thought.
It was his past preference and trust that blinded his eyes and made him realize that she was a good match.
Now that the fog had cleared away, Xiao Tong could clearly sense that the two most important women by his side were completely different from what he had expected.
Jiang Wumei’s arrogance is fake!
Chun Yurong’s obedience and compliance are also fake!
A myriad of tangled threads were swirling in Xiao Tong's mind, making it impossible for him to tell who was truly treating him well.
Or perhaps, because of his misplaced promises and behavior, no one in the entire Prince's Mansion was sincere to him.
As soon as this guess suddenly emerged in his mind, Xiao Tong froze in an instant, and boiling anger and regret continued to burn his entire mind.
