The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 27: Summoning the Soul for Me!
The white tiger cub buried his head in Jiang Wumei's waist, and Xiao Tong's emotions were surging.
Jiang Wumei, what kind of person are you?
Why, when Chun Yurong forced you into such a situation, you only thought about protecting yourself and didn't even have the slightest intention of looking for me?
Could it be that you are only disappointed and hypocritical towards me, with no sincerity at all?
Xiao Tong felt mixed emotions.
The gentler Jiang Wumei's voice was above his head, the more uncomfortable he felt like a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart.
Xiao Tong couldn't accept that he, who had always been decisive and clear-headed, was deceived by the women in the harem and became so confused!
He didn't even dare to imagine how many wrong decisions he would make and how many lives would be lost if he had already taken control of the country but still believed Chun Yurong's words!
Perhaps, God struck him into the body of the white tiger just to clear his eyes and awaken his mind, so that he would no longer live blindly!
Thinking of this, Xiao Tong was furious and his disgust for Chun Yurong reached its peak.
Jiang Wumei teased the white tiger cub for a while, and seeing that it kept burrowing into her arms without making a sound, she lifted it by the scruff of the neck and looked at it intently.
Their eyes met, one pair of sparkling watery eyes, one pair of round and shining golden tiger pupils, one bright and one dark, each containing emotions.
Jiang Wumei blinked in surprise, thinking that she must be exhausted.
Otherwise, how could one see the obvious pain in the eyes of the white tiger cub?
Outside the hall, the cold wind was howling.
The hall was as warm as spring.
Jiang Wumei blinked and looked again, but only saw a pair of round and clear tiger eyes.
The white tiger cub raised its head and looked straight at her, its eyes full of attachment. Jiang Wumei breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that she was being too suspicious. She hugged the white tiger cub in her arms, stood up and walked out of the hall.
"Miss."
The maid guarding the palace gate saw Jiang Wumei coming out and hurriedly bowed to her.
Jiang Wumei nodded and handed the little cub in her arms to her:
"Take Xuetuan to the greenhouse to play for a while. Tell the servants to be careful and make sure he doesn't jump around too much and break his hind legs."
"Yes, ma'am."
After the maid saluted, she carefully and respectfully extended her hand. Jiang Wumei was about to hand the little cub in her arms over, but she found that the white tiger cub's eyes suddenly changed, and it looked at the maid opposite with a ferocious look and began to bare its teeth.
The look on its face clearly shows that it is very reluctant to be held by anyone other than Jiang Wumei.
The maid shuddered and spoke cautiously:
“My Lady, Xuetuan’er has not allowed the servants to get close to her during this period.
In the entire palace, besides you, only Sister Qingzhi dares to hug me occasionally.
It could be a dislike for everyone except you.”
Jiang Wumei was surprised. She lowered her eyes and looked at the white tiger cub's head. She didn't think it was so ferocious at all.
"Why, are you acting like a bully here?
If you don't obey me, I'll pull out all your teeth."
Jiang Wumei lifted the white tiger cub up and gently touched its soft little nose with her pink fingertips, speaking with a reprimand.
Xiao Tong turned his head away awkwardly, really disliking the feeling of being taught a lesson like an animal.
If the person teasing him wasn't Jiang Wumei, he would have bitten off her finger long ago.
Last time, Xu Junjun was the best example.
On the other side, the leader of the secret guards, Zhao Qi, stayed by Xiao Tong's side every day.
Xiao Tong had not woken up for many days. As a secret guard, Zhao Qi was more anxious than anyone else.
Every time a crown prince is enthroned, they will become the sharpest hidden blades by his side.
Not only do they have to protect the crown prince from many hidden dangers, but they also have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of eliminating the hidden dangers around the crown prince.
This is the case with Zhao Qi.
When he was bestowed by the current emperor on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the leader of the secret guards, it was decided that his life and property would be firmly tied to the Crown Prince's.
Once Xiao Tong died, no matter what the cause and effect was, only death would await him.
Therefore, during the period when Xiao Tong was in a coma, in addition to the imperial doctors sent by the palace many times, Zhao Qi also secretly sent people to various cities to find famous doctors to take Xiao Tong's pulse.
Unfortunately, the results were disappointing.
Just when Zhao Qi was considering whether to send people to the foreign land of southern Xinjiang to look for talented people, he suddenly found the note that Xiao Tong had sent to the secret compartment.
In the prince's bedroom, Zhao Qi's brows were knotted.
In his hand, he tightly grasped a crumpled piece of paper.
The paper was damp and wrinkled, with teeth marks on it, as if someone had crumpled it up and bitten it deeply for a while.
"Are you sure this letter was taken from the secret compartment?"
Zhao Qi looked at the ball of paper in his hand as if facing a great enemy, and looked at his confidant with distrust.
If this person had not followed him for more than ten years, Zhao Qi would have suspected that he was an undercover sent by other princes!
After all, who would dare to believe that the wrinkled piece of paper in his hand, which looked like it had been bitten by a dog, actually contained His Highness's cry for help!
Summon the soul for me!
Zhao Qi opened the paper again and looked at the four big words written on it like a dog's crawling. His expression was indescribable!
"My Lord, I personally took this letter out of the secret compartment.
Yesterday I went to the secret compartment to get the letter, and I am sure that this letter must have been put in there within a day.
In addition, I found several footprints near the secret compartment..."
Zhao Qi frowned:
"Footprints? Man or woman? How tall?"
The subordinate shook his head in denial:
"Neither, what I found were dog footprints.
and……"
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Zhao Qi showed impatience:
"If you have something to say, just speak up. If you keep nagging, you'll be punished with twenty lashes in the torture chamber!"
After Zhao Qi finished speaking, his subordinates no longer hesitated:
"And I have a feeling that this letter was placed there by the dog that left the footprints."
Zhao Qi slowly tightened his grip and looked at the messy characters on the paper. An incredible guess emerged in his mind.
"How many people know about this letter?"
Zhao Qi looked serious, carefully observed the expressions of his subordinates, and asked in a deep voice.
The subordinate noticed the leader's seriousness, clasped his hands together, and said firmly:
"Don't worry, sir. I took out the letter and didn't tell anyone.
Apart from me, you are the only one who knows about this letter."
Zhao Qi nodded, looked back at the prince lying deep in the bed curtains, and ordered in a deep voice:
"I will write a letter later, stamped with the Crown Prince's seal, and you will deliver it to the Huguo Temple overnight and hand it to the abbot personally."
……
In a blink of an eye, it had been two days since Xiao Tongxin was sent out, and he was eager for Zhao Qi to take action.
But after two days, he was trapped in the bedroom all day and couldn't leave the palace. He couldn't get any news and became more and more anxious.
That day, Jiang Wumei came back from the prince's bedroom, and Xu Junjun came looking for her.
Jiang Wumei sent someone to bring Xu Junjun her favorite cakes and tea, and after sending everyone away, the two best friends started chatting in private.
Xu Junjun picked up a piece of cake and fed it directly into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a hamster hoarding food:
"Niao Niao, I went back home these past few days and looked through dozens of medical books, but I couldn't find any disease similar to Xiao Tong's.
Otherwise, why don't you send someone to the palace to find some imperial doctors to check on him?
Maybe he was poisoned by some strange poison, and our medical skills are not good enough to find out the cause."
Jiang Wumei held the white tiger cub in her arms and poured her a cup of scented tea, shaking her head.
"For the past half month, His Majesty has sent dozens of imperial physicians to the palace to check Xiao Tong's pulse. These physicians are all highly skilled. If Xiao Tong had truly been poisoned, they would have noticed it long ago.
Now, all the imperial doctors agreed that Xiao Tong was in good health and had a strong pulse, which meant that the cause of his coma was not the poison.
In this situation, even if we invite more doctors into the palace, it will be of no use."
Xu Junjun bit into the cake and was dumbfounded:
"What should we do? Should we just let Xiao Tong remain unconscious like this?"
Jiang Wumei moved the teacup with her fingertips, her radiant eyes filled with coldness:
"Xiao Tong's unexplained coma is extremely strange. If this continues, we will suffer more harm than good.
I wanted to find another way to wake him up, but when I went to Xiao Tong's bedroom today, I found that someone was quicker than me."
Eating too much cake can cause choking. Xu Junjun took a sip of tea and asked:
"Who? Chun Yurong?"
Jiang Wumei shook her head and uttered a name that was very unfamiliar to Xu Junjun:
"Do not.
The leader of Xiao Tong's secret guards, Zhao Qi! "
