The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 34 Undercurrent, Reaction
The news that Master Liaochen had visited the Prince's Mansion spread like wildfire, soon throughout the capital and even reached the ears of the Emperor and Empress of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
The Great Saint Emperor learned through secret orders that the prince was safe and sound, and was naturally very happy. He rewarded the prince's mansion with many precious medicinal herbs and ordered the concubines in the mansion to take good care of the prince until he woke up.
However, the situation in the Queen's palace was quite different. The Queen received the news that Xiao Tong would wake up in half a year at most. She was so anxious that she had a few white hairs on her temples and her temper became more and more irritable.
When Nanny Qin, her trusted servant, saw this, she quickly advised:
"Don't worry, Queen. Master Liaochen may be powerful, but he can't predict everything.
The Crown Prince won't wake up for another six months, and the ministers in the court don't know the specific situation. We can use the people in the Crown Prince's house to quietly..."
Nanny Qin whispered the rest of the words into the Queen's ear, and the viciousness that flashed in her cloudy old eyes was frightening.
After hearing her story, the Queen's restlessness subsided slightly, but the violent heaving of her chest still revealed her restless heart:
"Heaven has given me, the prince, an opportunity to aspire to the throne, and I absolutely cannot let it go.
For the sake of the prince, Xiao Tong must be put into a coma forever this time.
Nanny Qin, just do as you said just now. In addition to Xiao Tong's backyard, the front court should also find a way to put pressure on the ministers of the prince's lineage.
Force them to take sides as soon as possible and understand who will be the future crown prince of the Great Saint Dynasty."
During the more than half month that Xiao Tong was in a coma, the court was in uproar and basically divided into three factions.
One faction belonged to the prince's party. They were stubborn and firmly believed that the prince would wake up because of God's blessing. They repeatedly refused to agree to the idea of deposing the prince and appointing another one.
The second faction belongs to the power of the current second prince Xiao Yi.
The coma of Crown Prince Xiao Tong gave this group of people an opportunity. Adhering to the view that the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, nor can it be without a crown prince for a day, they kept submitting memorials to the emperor, begging him to appoint another crown prince to ensure the stability of the country.
The Great Saint Emperor was extremely annoyed by the disturbance. In front of all the civil and military officials, he threw the memorial to depose the crown prince and appoint another heir back in the face of the minister who submitted the memorial. He got so angry that he temporarily suppressed the unhealthy trend of appointing a new heir.
The third faction is composed of pure ministers of the neutral faction.
They did not get involved with either side and only obeyed the Great Saint Emperor. They followed whatever the Great Saint Emperor decided.
The three factions in the court were in a state of chaos and turmoil, which made the entire court a mess.
And this is exactly the effect the queen wants.
Ever since Xiao Tong fell into a coma, she had been constantly sending letters outside the palace. With the help of her natal family, many ministers in the court who had originally served under the crown prince waited and watched, and quietly switched to the second prince's side.
Even so, the queen was still not satisfied and ordered the previous court to continue to put pressure on the emperor.
In this way, as long as she finds a way to kill Xiao Tong, her son can successfully replace him and become the legitimate crown prince of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Nanny Qin took the order and went down to make arrangements. The empress also changed into palace clothes and tidied up her appearance. She brought the prepared tonic soup and went to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor.
The previous dynasty wanted to put pressure on the emperor, and she, as the master of the harem, also wanted to let the emperor see her determination and shake his mind as soon as possible.
Zhao Qi was relieved after receiving Master Chen's confirmation. Although he knew that the calls for abolishing the crown prince and establishing another one were growing louder in the court, Xiao Tong had not yet woken up, and he was powerless to intervene. He could only protect Xiao Tong tightly and wait for him to wake up.
Zhao Qi knew in his heart that if this happened, even if the prince woke up, half of the ministers on his side would definitely turn against him.
However, Zhao Qi was entrusted with an important task, which was to protect the prince's life. The power struggles in the court were not within his consideration.
Xu Junjun has been coming to the Prince's Mansion more and more frequently in the past two days. Every time she comes, she will tell Jiang Wumei some of the latest news in the court.
Old Madam Huo from the General's Mansion keeps abreast of current affairs and reads the court bulletin every day to ensure that the ups and downs in the court do not affect the descendants of the Huo family who are fighting outside.
Xu Junjun was influenced by her parents and every time she came to Jiang Wumei's place, she could talk to her about everything.
Poor Xiao Tong, every time he lay on Jiang Wumei's lap, listening to his power in the court being eroded and persecuted bit by bit by the Queen, he was so angry that he almost cried blood, but he had to endure it temporarily.
However, Xiao Tong had a cunning and unique idea. Although he knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to him, after the queen's purge, he could tell at a glance who were the gold sand and rubble of the prince's party.
Once he successfully turns around, he will be able to clean up the power in his hands with drastic measures, keeping those who should be kept and promoting those who should be promoted, without any worries.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tong's urgent desire to turn around faded a little. He turned his head to look at Jiang Wumei, who was smiling brightly under the window, and his heart trembled violently.
Compared to the despair and anger when he first entered the tiger cub's body, now, with Jiang Wumei by his side day and night, away from the court disputes, Xiao Tong seems to have found a place for his soul to rest.
If possible, he really wanted to regain his human body, accompany her day and night, treat her as an equal, without any exploitation or harm, and become a truly enviable couple.
I just don't know if she is willing to give herself a chance.
Thinking of the last time Jiang Wumei said she wanted to leave, the smile on Xiao Tong's face became bitter again. He lowered his head and buried his face in his front paws to prevent her from seeing his embarrassment and loss of composure.
Although Jiang Wumei was talking to Xu Junjun, her eyes were always on him.
Seeing it lying on the side in a depressed mood, Jiang Wumei smiled and continued Xu Junjun's words, reaching out and gently scratching the little thing's soft chin, trying to provoke its mood.
Xiao Tong was not a real white tiger cub. He could see that Jiang Wumei was deliberately trying to make him happy. He felt very comforted and could not help but put his face against her soft palm, humming with satisfaction.
Xu Junjun looked at the two of them spoiling each other and said jealously:
"Niao Niao, I've noticed that you're getting better and better to this white tiger cub. If you don't do that for a while, you'll only want it and not me."
The two of them have a very deep friendship in modern times. Xu Junjun has never seen Jiang Wumei care so much about anything.
Now the two of them depend on each other in this strange world. Seeing how much she loves a white tiger cub, Xu Junjun feels sad as if his own person has been taken away, and there is a hint of grievance in his words.
Seeing that she was serious, Jiang Wumei tapped her forehead with a mixture of laughter and tears:
"You are a human being, it is an animal, and you still have the nerve to be jealous of it.
Don’t you think about it? Wherever you come back, I will serve you with good tea and snacks.
If you continue to wrongly accuse me, I will send you to be a companion to Huo Qiming, so that you can experience what it means to be ignored."
Xu Junjun quickly begged for mercy, sticking to her arm and acting coquettishly:
“You can forgive me.
You don't know that in every letter Huo Qiming sent home during this period, he mentioned Chen Yue'er, and his words implicitly asked the old lady to take good care of his baby.
I really want to see how crazy he will be when he returns to Beijing and finds that his sweetheart has turned into a skeleton.
Hey, Niaoniao, what do you think Huo Qiming would do if he knew that the person he loved poisoned his dearest grandmother?
Should I dig up my loved one's grave and cry over the skeleton, or should I dig up the grave and whip the corpse?"
As the conversation went on, Xu Junjun's topic became increasingly off-topic, but her eyes suddenly lit up.
