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

Zhao Qi suddenly retracted his moving legs and looked at the white tiger cub with an hesitant look, wanting to say something.

He opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed it and turned to walk out of the hall.

Staring at Zhao Qi's back, Jiang Wumei frowned deeply, picked up the white tiger cub on her knees, and looked into its eyes.

"Xue Tuan'er, what was Zhao Qi looking at you for just now?

He wants to eat tiger meat?"

Even though Jiang Wumei was so smart, she had not expected that her beloved pet carried the soul of Crown Prince Xiao Tong.

Seeing that Zhao Qi was staring at the white tiger cub with a strange look just now, he thought that Zhao Qi was curious about the white tiger cub and looked at it a few more times out of curiosity.

As soon as Zhao Qi left, Qingzhi entered the hall to serve him.

Sending the snacks and tea to Jiang Wumei, Qingzhi whispered:

"Your Majesty, I see that Lord Zhao looks unhappy, but is the deal settled?"

Jiang Wumei rubbed the white tiger cub's head, feeling very cute. She lowered her head and kissed it hard on the face a few times, then said slowly:

"Whether we've reached an agreement or not is pointless. I've already told him everything. It's up to him to decide how to proceed."

Playing with the white tiger cub's soft paw pads, Jiang Wumei continued to instruct with a calm expression:

“After meeting with Junjun tomorrow, I will announce to the public that I am ill. Until His Highness regains consciousness, the Prince’s Mansion will be closed to all visitors.

Also, clear out the maids in the palace. Besides you, I will only keep a few trustworthy maids to serve me."

Qingzhi understood his master's intention after a moment's thought, and hurriedly bowed and agreed, then went down to make arrangements.

The cold wind was still howling outside the hall. Jiang Wumei played with the white tiger cub for a while, then sat down beside the couch with a distant look in her eyes.

Looking at the maids and servants busy sweeping the yard, Jiang Wumei's inquiring eyes swept over each of them one by one, with layers of dark waves in her eyes.

Among these people, some are the queen's spies in the palace, and some are spies planted by Chun Yurong.

In the past, she wanted to use these people to establish the image of a stupid and arrogant concubine, and let them jump around under her nose.

Now, since it concerns Xiao Tong's life and death, she can no longer be lazy.

After a careful observation, Jiang Wumei had a rough idea in her mind. She withdrew her gaze and held the white tiger cub in her arms, sighing deeply:

"Xue Tuan'er, I have to fight you even if I don't want to."

Xiao Tong felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he was unable to give Jiang Wumei any substantial comfort. He could only stretch out his front paws and press hard on the back of her hand, silently giving her warmth.

Zhao Qi returned to the prince's bedroom. Seeing that he looked unhappy, two of his confidants immediately came up to him and asked:

"Sir, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Qi shook his head, unwilling to say more. After thinking carefully for a while, he gave a deep instruction to his confidant:

"Immediately dispatch a group of people to Chun Mansion to stake out for twelve hours. If you find Chun Weiguang interacting with the Second Prince's followers, report immediately.

Also assign another group of people to keep an eye on the Jiang residence, and report back immediately if there are any unusual movements."

One of the confidants was stunned, but quickly reacted:

"Yes, my subordinate will do it right away."

After saying this, the man flew away and disappeared from the sight of Zhao Qi and the others in an instant.

Seeing this, another confidant asked:

"Sir, have you found any clues?"

The secret guards knew everything His Highness did for Concubine Chun when he was conscious. His Highness sent them to handle many of these matters in secret, as they knew best how important Concubine Chun was in His Highness' heart.

Seeing that his leader had returned from meeting Concubine Jiang, he immediately ordered surveillance of the Jiang and Chun families. His confidants were puzzled and couldn't help but think too much.

The man in front of him was brought up by Zhao Qi, and Zhao Qi trusted him very much. When he asked about it, he thought for a moment and then revealed something:

“Someone has received news that the Chun family intends to betray His Highness and pledge allegiance to the Second Prince.

In order to prevent the Chun family from harming Your Highness, we must make all necessary preparations during this period.

His Highness has someone by his side at all times, and all medicines he takes must be tested for poison by two people to ensure they are absolutely safe."

Zhao Qi was not sure whether Jiang Wumei's words were true or not, but with the idea of ​​rather killing someone by mistake than letting him go, he planned to surround the entire prince's bedroom like an iron barrel from now on, leaving no one with a chance to take advantage.

"Also, from today onwards, all secret guards will rotate, with one guard every ten steps and one sentry every twenty steps. They must completely control the entire bedroom until His Highness wakes up."

The confidant was shocked when he heard this and said quickly:

"Sir, do you need to send a message to the palace about the Chun family's affairs?"

Although Zhao Qi did not explain it in detail, his confidants quickly understood the seriousness of the matter. If the Chun family secretly murdered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in order to surrender to the Second Prince, it would be a serious crime punishable by the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire family.

The Chun family has plotted to murder the crown prince and shake the foundation of the country. If the charges are proven, the only thing waiting for them is the extermination of all nine generations of the family.

For such a major event, prevention alone is probably far from enough.

Zhao Qi frowned and shook his head after a long while:

"Right now we don't know whether the news is true or not, so we can't act rashly.

Concubine Chun is His Highness's beloved. If the Chun family has no intention of betraying us, and we report this matter, His Highness will definitely hold us accountable when he wakes up.

To be on the safe side, let's wait and see for a few days before discussing the follow-up.

But during this period, everyone must be on full alert to protect His Highness. If His Highness is harmed in the slightest, you and I will both be killed."

"Yes, my lord."

After hearing what was said, the confidant quickly took the order and went down to make the arrangements.

In the evening, darkness fell.

The entire Prince's Mansion fell into a deep sleep. Qingzhi, under Jiang Wumei's order, took the guards to visit General Huo's Mansion.

Xu Junjun finished reading the medical book and was about to go to bed when she heard Qingzhi Louye coming in person, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

After ordering the maid to bring Qingzhi in and listening to Qingzhi's detailed account of the whole process, Xu Junjun breathed a sigh of relief and promised to go to the Prince's Mansion to see Jiang Wumei early the next morning.

After receiving Xu Junjun's affirmative answer, Qingzhi bowed and left. As soon as he left the general's mansion, he turned around and went to another house according to Jiang Wumei's instructions.

The cold wind slapped against the window lattice. After Qingzhi left, Xu Junjun sat on the bed, looking at the darkness outside the yard and thinking constantly.

After a while, she got out of bed, put on her clothes again, and walked quickly towards Mrs. Huo's yard, following the swaying shadows of the lanterns in the corridor.

Mrs. Huo had already gone to bed, but because Xu Junjun suddenly arrived, she had to get up again while wearing her outer robe.

The candlelight was relit, and Mrs. Huo and Xu Junjun chatted until midnight.

It was not until dawn that Xu Junjun came out of Mrs. Huo's courtyard with dark circles under her eyes, and returned to the courtyard feeling dizzy to catch up on some sleep.

Meanwhile, in the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Wumei, who had planned everything, slept soundly all night holding the white tiger cub.

In the morning, Xiao Tong woke up from his dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw a peaceful sleeping face without any makeup.

Strands of soft black hair fall from Jiang Wumei's chest, and under her white swan neck, a large area of ​​her chest is exposed, which is very tempting.

The alluring body fragrance lingered around his nose. Looking at the woman's moist red lips, Xiao Tong's tiger eyes flashed with a hint of pampering, and he couldn't help but stretch out his tiger tongue to lick it gently.

A faint lotus fragrance emanated from the woman's lips, and Xiao Tong couldn't help but fall deeper and deeper into her.

By the time he reacted, Jiang Wumei's beautiful red lips had been sucked until they were slightly swollen and a slight tingling pain seeped out.
