The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 32 Reaping the consequences
Those who betray others will always be betrayed.
Xiao Tong swallowed the bitter fruit and felt pain all over his heart, liver and lungs.
Listening to his closest woman recounting the past in his ear, Xiao Tong felt that he had really gone crazy.
For Chun Yurong, he not only made an exception and kicked out his opponent for Chun Weiguang, allowing him to be successfully promoted to the Minister of Revenue, but also paved a smooth road for her brother, so that Chun Yurong could stay under his wing without any worries.
Unexpectedly, the woman whom he was willing to protect even at the cost of offending the emperor's younger brother turned out to be a beautiful snake. She appeared fresh and calm on the surface, but was so filthy inside. She was a world apart from the open-minded, cheerful and intelligent Jiang Wumei.
Thinking of the suppression he had inflicted on Jiang Wumei's father and brother in order to check and balance her, Xiao Tong was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head and lay on the couch full of remorse.
Seeing the white tiger cub shivering on the couch, Jiang Wumei thought it was cold, so she quickly took out its small quilt and covered it with it.
Finally, I patted its little head and joked with a smile:
"You, you have such thick tiger fur, yet you're afraid of the cold.
Qingzhi, tell them to make two small sets of clothes for Xuetuan tomorrow and put them on after he takes a bath."
Since she had raised the white tiger cub, Jiang Wumei devoted herself to everything. Looking at the attachment and closeness to herself in the white tiger cub's eyes, Jiang Wumei's empty heart was filled up by it, and she felt unprecedented satisfaction.
Seeing her master smiling again, Qingzhi was also happy. She felt that since Xuetuaner came, the queen's face had smiled a lot more. Qingzhi couldn't help but show her love for Xuetuaner and began to pay attention to her.
"Yes, Madam. I will arrange it right away."
After Qingzhi left, only Jiang Wumei and Xiao Tong were left in the palace.
Putting aside the complicated thoughts that had accumulated in her mind, Jiang Wumei put down the account book, leaned over, held the white tiger cub in her arms again, and gently stroked its fur.
"Xue Tuan'er, if I have to leave the Crown Prince's Mansion in the future, would you be willing to leave with me?"
Xiao Tong, who was rubbing her soft palm lovingly, was stunned. Then his face changed drastically. He raised his head anxiously and asked loudly:
"Why do you want to leave the Prince's Mansion?
I said, I will definitely compensate you well!
You must not leave!"
The panicked humming of the white tiger cub reached Jiang Wumei's ears, giving her the illusion that he was agreeing with her.
He picked up Xuetuan'er, kissed her hard on the mouth, and said to himself with a smile:
"Then we have a deal. If I ever leave, I will take you with me."
Two people and a tiger, waiting to die and escaping from the capital, this is a good combination. Jiang Wumei is really tempted.
"You can't leave. I won't let you leave!"
A strong sense of crisis enveloped his heart. Xiao Tong retorted loudly, his tiger pupils trembling violently involuntarily.
Xiao Tong thought that he was Jiang Wumei's husband and had done the most intimate thing between husband and wife. Even if he had made her sad before, she would still stay where she was and give him a chance to forgive him.
Unexpectedly, the reality was so piercingly painful. When he was full of fantasies, Jiang Wumei raised her hand and slapped him loudly, which made him confused and uneasy!
She actually wants to leave me?
Does she hate herself so much that even her husband doesn't want to continue with her?
Xiao Tong was extremely confused. He held his head high and hummed continuously, his tiger face full of anxiety and urgency.
In the Great Saint Dynasty, women have a high status.
Especially in the capital, if a woman divorces a man, she can still live like a normal person.
Therefore, there are indeed many examples of wives of high-ranking officials who had unhappy marriages but no worries about their future and divorced their husbands. Moreover, after the divorce, most of these people lived a carefree and unrestrained life and were rarely criticized.
But even so, Xiao Tong never thought that Jiang Wumei would have the idea of leaving him.
She didn't care about his compensation or guilt. She was tired of being used and just wanted to escape from the bottomless cage of the Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Tong had difficulty breathing. For the first time, he felt that he, the crown prince, was such a failure.
From Jiang Wumei, he experienced for the first time what it meant to be trapped in one's own web and suffer the consequences.
Now, his only hope is to return to his body as soon as possible.
Only by possessing a human body could he truly make it up to her and undo all the mistakes he had made in the past, instead of suffering in regret and being a useless beast.
Xiao Tong's mood was overturned like a huge wave, but Jiang Wumei's sparkling eyes were full of smiles.
She touched the nose of the white tiger cub in her arms, kissed it twice, buried her face in its soft and warm belly and sucked hard twice, then withdrew contentedly and took the small toy prepared for it to tease it.
Xiao Tong was shocked and tried his best to deal with Jiang Wumei, but as she teased him, he was completely attracted by her bright and radiant smile and slowly became stunned.
When Qingzhi entered the hall, she saw a happy scene between a man and his pet, but when she thought of the people waiting outside the hall, she had to step forward to break this warm scene.
"Your Majesty, Lady Xie and Lady Chen have come to pay their respects to you and are waiting outside the palace."
Jiang Wumei: ???
Lady Xie, Lady Chen?
Who are these two people? Why have I never heard of them?
Seeing Jiang Wumei's puzzled expression, Qingzhi coughed and whispered a reminder:
"My lady, have you forgotten?
These two beauties were brought into the Prince's Mansion by the Empress shortly after you married into it. Your Highness has never accepted them, so the people in the mansion continue to call them beauties."
Jiang Wumei suddenly realized:
“It turns out he’s the Queen’s spy.
These two have never fought or competed with each other since they entered the mansion, and I almost forgot about it.
However, when His Highness was conscious, they did not come to me to seek favor. But after His Highness fell into a coma, they came instead. They must have been ordered by the Queen to come to me to investigate the situation.
Invite the two of them in. I want to see what the Queen wants to do next."
The emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty had few offspring, only three sons and one daughter.
Among them, Crown Prince Xiao Tong was the legitimate son, born to the late queen.
The second prince Xiao Yi and the eldest princess Xiao Luoling are both children of the current queen.
The remaining third prince Xiao Yun's biological mother was just a lowly palace maid, so he was not favored by the emperor since he was born and his status was awkward.
When the late queen was alive, she had a deep affection for His Majesty Aidi, and Xiao Tong was made the crown prince early on, becoming the heir to the throne of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Unfortunately, the former queen was beautiful but had a tragic fate and passed away early. Her son and husband were replaced by the current queen, and more than ten years passed.
Over the past decade, as the second prince gradually grew up, the current queen's desires grew, and she had long been dissatisfied with Xiao Tong sitting on the throne of the crown prince.
However, due to the emperor's high regard for and cultivation of Xiao Tong, he was unable to take action and could only use some shady means in secret to control the continuation of Xiao Tong's descendants.
Outside the palace, the two ladies, Concubine Xie and Concubine Chen, were the empress's spies planted in the prince's mansion.
Xiao Tong had also noticed this a long time ago. In order to protect his beloved, he created Jiang Wumei as a shield and she enjoyed the emperor's favor for a whole year.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wumei's eyes were indifferent. She picked up Xiao Tong and sat him down beside the couch. She raised her eyebrows and shoulders, and her whole temperament suddenly became cold and solemn.
