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

Jiang Wumei's calm and objective analysis turned into a blunt knife in Xiao Tong's ears, constantly cutting his flesh.

During the time when his soul traveled through time to the White Tiger, Xiao Tong saw Jiang Wumei open her heart.

She knew that in the entire Great Sage, only Xu Junjun could truly make her happy.

And in her heart, I am probably just a person in power who has to curry favor with her.

Staring at Jiang Wumei's calm and rational eyes, Xiao Tong's mouth was full of bitterness.

After he came back to life, he tried to change his image in Niao Niao's mind.

Even though she would rather fake her death to get away from him, he didn't dare to blame her at all after learning the truth.

He was just afraid that his anger and unwillingness would push Niao Niao further and further away. Even though his heart was torn apart by emotions, the moment he stood in front of her, he suppressed all his anger, leaving only caution and tenderness in his heart.

He thought that as long as he persevered, he would be able to make Niao Niao change her mind sooner or later.

But now it seems that everything was just his delusion.

Enduring the dull pain in his chest, Xiao Tong kissed Jiang Wumei's face, his voice hoarse:

"Niao Niao, can you look at me?"

Xiao Tong's words sounded strange. They were clearly sleeping on the same pillow, in an intimate position, but his words, which contained a plea, made people feel confused.

But Jiang Wumei understood the meaning of his words, her whole body stiffened and her face turned pale.

It seems that Xiao Tong has long known that he is not important in her heart.

Xiao Tong said this with such a weak look, as if he was begging her with his bleeding heart. Jiang Wumei lowered her eyelashes to hide the complex emotions in her eyes.

Jiang Wumei raised her eyes and looked into the man's deep, bottomless black pupils.

"Your Majesty, why do you say that?

Haven't I been watching you?"

Jiang Wumei pretended to be ignorant, and the hope in Xiao Tong's eyes was instantly extinguished, but even so, he was reluctant to say a harsh word to her.

Xiao Tong caressed the woman's thin and fragile back with his big hand, his face full of helplessness:

"Niao Niao, you know what I am talking about."

A fake death and a hostage-taking were enough to make Xiao Tong face his own heart. He could no longer wait for Niao Niao to change her mind.

He wanted to make Niao Niao understand that she was the woman who could accompany his soul forever.

Only she is qualified to be his queen.

For the next few decades, she could only be with him.

Jiang Wumei lowered her head and lay on Xiao Tong's chest without saying a word. Xiao Tong's voice continued:

"Niao Niao, if I say that you will be my only queen in this life, can you give me another chance?"

Give him another chance to open the door to her heart.

This time, he will never be fooled and mistake fish eyes for pearls, letting the real treasure be covered in dust.

Jiang Wumei had heard Xiao Tong hint at this kind of thing many times since they met again.

But in the past, Xiao Tong always kept his distance and didn't say it so clearly, which would embarrass the two of them.

Xiao Tong knew very well that the position of queen was not important to Jiang Wumei.

Perhaps rather than being a queen, she would rather be a free wild crane, wandering among mountains, seas, rivers and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. You are the Great Sage Sovereign. How can you have only one person in your harem?"

After an unbearable silence, Jiang Wumei gave her answer.

Xiao Tong's brows darkened, he helped the person up and looked at her.

The sadness in his eyes stung Jiang Wumei's eyes, but Jiang Wumei knew very well that people's hearts were fickle, so how could she dare to trust someone easily?

"That's all."

Xiao Tong sighed softly. In the emotional contest between the two of them, he was never the winner:

“Are you hungry?

I asked them to bring food over."

Xiao Tong's back disappeared from her sight. Jiang Wumei slowly covered her chest, trying to hide her overly heavy heartbeat.

The doctor just took Jiang Wumei's pulse. She has not recovered yet and has been tossed around for days. She is overthinking and has caught a cold. She needs to rest for a few days before she can continue her journey.

The meals that Xiao Tong ordered to be prepared were light and easy to digest, which would help her to warm her body.

After having lunch with Jiang Wumei, Xiao Tong went to do some work.

Jiang Wumei only felt completely relieved when she learned that Qingzhi and An'er had already returned to Beijing under the escort of secret guards.

At two hours in the afternoon, Jiang Wumei was resting in the room. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi brought two people she didn't expect.

"Commoner Qin Fang greets Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

The maid brought the mother and daughter into the house. Qin Fang looked at the distinguished man sitting on the couch by the window, her eyes red with excitement.

Yaya was so surprised when she saw Jiang Wumei, who looked like a fairy, that she opened her mouth wide and pulled Qin Fang to whisper:

"Mom, mom, my beautiful sister has become much more beautiful now?

Isn't she a fairy from heaven?"

Children have short memories and strong ability to accept new things. She had forgotten the fear she had experienced when she saw the dead body a few days ago. Now she could only marvel at Jiang Wumei's new and beautiful look in her new embroidered dress.

Jiang Wumei put down the book in her hand and stood up from the couch. She walked over and touched Yaya's rough little face, helped Qin Fang up, and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you look so strange, Sister Qin? Please take a seat.

How we got along in the past is how we should get along in the future. Sister Qin, please don't be so formal.

Serve tea and some snacks that the children like."

She turned around and gave an order. After the maid bowed and left, Jiang Wumei turned around and looked at Qin Fang again.

"No, no, Royal Concubine, please sit down. Please sit down and don't worry about us."

Qin Fang looked at Jiang Wumei's exquisite long dress and saw the golden silk threads woven on the hem of the skirt. Her movements became very restrained.

Just now, when she was led around a corridor that was half the length of their village, Qin Fang finally realized what a remarkable person she had saved.

Imperial Concubine.

The Great Saint Imperial Consort.

In the past, she had heard that the highest-ranking official was the county magistrate, but she had never seen one.

Now, having suddenly met such a distinguished person, she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Seeing through Qin Fang's embarrassment, Jiang Wumei personally led her to sit aside and waved to Yaya.

During the time they spent together, Yaya really liked the beautiful and gentle Jiang Wumei.

Now, seeing Jiang Wumei dressed so beautifully, she waved and Yaya immediately came over.

Jiang Wumei really likes Yaya's innocence. She touches her little head and asks with a smile:

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Yaya, do you miss me?"

Yaya nodded quickly, glanced at Qin Fang carefully, and seeing that her mother didn't stop her from talking, she immediately said:

"Yes, Yaya and mother both miss our beautiful sister very much.

My beautiful sister was kidnapped by bad guys. My mother cried secretly for a long time and said she would find someone to save my beautiful sister.

Fortunately, my beautiful sister was very capable and was rescued before my mother could find anyone."

"Yiya."

The little girl spoke crisply, but Qin Fang was frightened. She was afraid that Jiang Wumei would misunderstand that they were here to ask for favors, so she quickly pulled the child back to her side.

"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. Yaya is ignorant and just talks nonsense.

We came here today just to see if you are safe, nothing else.

Don't worry, we'll be on our way soon and won't keep you too long."

Jiang Wumei kept smiling as she took Yaya from Qin Fang's arms.

Looking at Yaya's nervous eyes, Jiang Wumei was helpless:

"Am I an ungrateful person in Sister Qin's eyes?"
