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

"My lady, what should we do?

Should we inform the Master, the Madam, and the Young Master about this matter and ask them to help us deal with the Chun Family?"

Qingzhi asked anxiously.

Jiang Wumei shook her head:

“The Jiang family is not as powerful as the Chun family, and coupled with the intentional or unintentional suppression by His Highness over the past year, the Jiang family can’t help at all.

Although my brother is talented and loves me, this journey is dangerous and I do not want to involve him."

Xiao Tong, who was filled with joy, suddenly froze, as if a bucket of ice water was poured down on his broken chest. The ice water seeped into his bones, causing him pain and regret.

Niao Niao actually knew about his suppression of the Jiang family. How would he face her after he came back to life?!

Xiao Tong's heart, which was already full of cracks, was completely shattered into pieces with Jiang Wumei's words, and could not even be picked up.

Qingzhi turned around and complained to Xiao Tong:

"It's all your fault, Your Highness, for being so confused that you mistook a fish eye for a pearl. Now that the Master, the Madam, and the Young Master are unable to help, what can you, Your Majesty, do alone?"

Xiao Tong felt bitter after hearing this. Yes, it was all his own fault that he had come to this point.

Niaoniao is isolated and helpless in the Prince's Mansion, so how can she compete with the Chun family?

Rather than letting Niao Niao take the risk and put herself in danger, he just hopes that she will stay alive and well without any accidents.

As for the Chun family, with Zhao Qi around, it won’t be so easy for them to succeed.

If he faces a desperate situation and something really happens to his body, he will stay in Baihu's body and accompany Niao Niao for the rest of his life.

Just watching her and accompanying her like this makes my life worthwhile.

Xiao Tong felt mixed emotions, and his tiger eyes stared at Jiang Wumei, unwilling to move away even a little.

"I'm alone? Who said I'm alone?

Immediately send someone to His Highness's bedroom and order Zhao Qi to come and see me.

Later, go to the General's Mansion in person and invite Junjun to visit you tomorrow."

Jiang Wumei straightened her back and gave orders calmly.

Chun Yurong has the support of the Chun family, and she also has Zhao Qi's well-trained secret guards at her disposal.

Zhao Qi is the amulet bestowed by the emperor on the crown prince. Each of his secret guards can fight against a hundred people at once. Together with the guards left in the capital by the Huo family, they can completely surround the prince's mansion like an iron barrel. No matter how much Chun Yurong schemes, he can't do anything to Xiao Tong.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Tong understood Chun Yurong's purpose. His heart burned even hotter. He stretched out his head and rubbed Jiang Wumei's waist, and the tenderness in his tiger eyes almost overflowed.

In the prince's bedroom, Zhao Qi heard that Jiang Wumei wanted to see him, so he arranged for a few confidants to guard Xiao Tong before striding over.

Jiang Wumei had already made preparations, and as soon as Zhao Qi entered the hall, she ordered people to guard outside the hall.

Qingzhi knew that the two had something important to discuss, so she personally led her maidservant to stand outside the hall to ensure that no third person could hear their conversation.

Seeing Jiang Wumei's seriousness, Zhao Qi became serious, took two steps forward, and saluted:

"I wonder what the Concubine wants to see me about?"

Zhao Qi's understanding of Concubine Jiang was still that she was arrogant and domineering and took advantage of her favor.

Although these brief encounters made him realize that Concubine Jiang was not as beautiful as the rumors said, Zhao Qi still looked down on her from the bottom of his heart.

After all, he was an abandoned child that His Highness had decided to abandon, so Zhao Qi felt that he didn't need to care too much about it. Unexpectedly, Concubine Jiang's next words made his face change drastically.

"Master Zhao, if someone in the Crown Prince's Mansion wanted to assassinate Your Highness, what would you do?"

Jiang Wumei's earth-shattering words made Zhao Qi's head spin. Fortunately, Zhao Qi had undergone years of rigorous training and reacted quickly. He clasped his fists and knelt down.

"I do not understand what your Majesty means by this. Please explain it to me."

Jiang Wumei looked at him with satisfaction, the eagerness in his eyes. She stroked the fur of the white tiger cub in her arms and said slowly:

“I have received news that Concubine Chun and others such as Chun Weiguang have secretly defected to the Second Prince and intend to harm His Highness.

Since Lord Zhao is the secret guard bestowed upon Your Highness by the Emperor, he must shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting Your Highness's safety.

I hope that, with Lord Zhao's utmost protection, Your Highness can safely weather this crisis."

Zhao Qi almost bit his tongue:

"Pure concubine?"

How is it possible? Concubine Chun is someone that His Highness has always protected. How could she want to plot to murder His Highness?

Zhao Qi looked at Jiang Wumei with suspicion. He thought to himself that Concubine Jiang had seen that His Highness had been unconscious for too long and wanted to use him to get rid of Concubine Chun. When His Highness woke up, she would put all the blame on him to protect herself.

Zhao Qi knelt on the ground, his wooden face twitching slightly, and all kinds of conspiracy theories were rapidly turning in his mind.

As master and servant for many years, Xiao Tong knew Zhao Qi very well. When he saw Zhao Qi's hesitation and changing expression, he knew that not only did he not believe what Niao Niao said, but he also suspected that Niao Niao had impure motives.

Xiao Tong was furious and could not help but arch his back, baring his teeth at Zhao Qi and letting out a few threatening growls.

Seeing that the white tiger cub was losing its temper again, Jiang Wumei reached out to cover its little head and rubbed it twice before raising her eyebrows and looking at Zhao Qi.

As a doctor of psychology, Jiang Wumei is well aware of all kinds of human micro-expressions and movements.

As soon as he saw Zhao Qi, he knew that he didn't believe him and was still suspicious.

Jiang Wumei was not angry, she just said calmly:

“I know that Lord Zhao has doubts.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Lord Zhao sends people to monitor Chun Yurong and the others day and night, they will eventually find clues."

Zhao Qi hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and responded:

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will protect you with my life."

Regardless of whether what Concubine Jiang said was true or not, for the sake of His Highness's safety, Zhao Qi had secretly made a decision to arrange for people to monitor Chun Weiguang and others after returning.

If the Chun family really intended to kill the king, he would collect all the evidence and make a decision after His Highness woke up.

"Lord Zhao is a wise man, so I will not interfere.

I still have things to attend to, Lord Zhao, please do as you please."

Seeing a hint of determination flash in Zhao Qi's eyes, Jiang Wumei knew that her goal had been achieved, so she stopped talking nonsense and started to see the guest off.

Zhao Qi saluted and stood up. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly met the white tiger cub in her arms.

Seeing the anger burning in the white tiger cub's eyes, Zhao Qi froze and suddenly remembered the four-character letter of unknown origin.
