The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 41: Southern Xinjiang Poison
Jiang Wumei curled her lips and said concisely:
“Simply put, Xiao Tong is in a coma, and the Chun family can’t wait to cause trouble.
Chun Yurong was persuaded by the Chun family to take action against Xiao Tong."
Even though Xu Junjun had heard Qingzhi's brief explanation last night, when he heard Jiang Wumei repeat it now, he still felt that it was off the mark.
"If this Chun Yurong were to be put aside...
Well, if it were put in the future, she would definitely be a devilish female boss.
Putting her here to play palace fighting with a bunch of women is really a disgrace to her."
Qingzhi was still standing beside her, and Xu Junjun took several turns to finish the words.
Jiang Wumei leaned against the couch and glared at her:
"You still feel sorry for her. Have you finished what I asked Qingzhi to convey to you yesterday?"
Chun Yurong is clear-headed and decisive. She is a woman with strong self-control. Facing such an opponent, she and Xu Junjun have to be extremely alert, otherwise one wrong move will cost them the rest of their peaceful lives.
Xu Junjun patted his chest, very confident:
“Once I take action, there is nothing I can’t accomplish.
As soon as I heard about you last night, I spent half the night begging my grandmother, explaining the pros and cons to her. After much persuasion, I finally got her to agree to temporarily lend you two thousand guards."
Jiang Wumei looked at the dark circles under her eyes and laughed, knowing that Xu Junjun must have put in a lot of effort to convince Mrs. Huo last night.
Mrs. Huo is a champion of house fighting, one in a hundred. Her vision, mind and even planning are incomparable to ordinary people.
It was a great thing that Xu Junjun was able to persuade her successfully.
Of course, Jiang Wumei knew in her heart that Madam Huo agreed to Xu Junjun not only because she loved her, but also partly because of Xiao Tong.
The Huo family has inherited the throne for six generations, and they have been loyal ministers and loyal to the emperor alone.
It was precisely because Xiao Tong was the crown prince designated by the Great Saint Emperor and the rightful next Great Saint Emperor that Madam Huo was willing to wade into this mess.
"Alright, I'll give you a credit for this time, and I'll reward you together next time."
After praising Xu Junjun, Jiang Wumei lowered her eyes and drank a sip of scented tea, then continued her arrangements:
"The Empress, the Second Prince, and the Chun family are all eyeing the Crown Prince's Mansion covetously. Now that Chun Yurong has turned against us, I'm afraid Xiao Tong's secret guards alone won't be able to protect us.
Starting tomorrow, I will close my house and refuse visitors to minimize the danger.
Your mission is to send me 1,500 guards after nightfall, and I will command them at my disposal."
Xu Junjun nodded vigorously:
“No problem, I’ll go back to the house and ask my grandmother to make arrangements.
Do you want the remaining few hundred people?"
There are a total of two thousand guards for the Huo family. Qingzhi was talking about all the guards for the Huo family last night. Now her best friend has only used fifteen hundred. What should she do with the remaining five hundred?
Jiang Wumei wanted to laugh when she saw her silly look, and couldn't help but lean forward and hook her finger at her.
Xu Junjun immediately rushed over and whispered excitedly into Jiang Wumei's ear:
"Why are you being so mysterious? What do you want to do?"
Facing her excited gaze that seemed to be threatening the world, Jiang Wumei raised her hand and gave her a slap on the head. She looked at her with satisfaction as she covered her forehead and grimaced, then she smiled and elaborated:
"From the remaining five hundred, select one hundred to closely monitor Chun Weiguang, and another hundred to monitor the Second Prince's residence and his cronies.
The remaining 300 people formed a temporary information transmission station, responsible for analyzing and reporting information and dealing with emergencies.
The monitoring personnel in various places and the information transmission station must be completed and operational within one day. When Xiao Tong wakes up, these two thousand people will withdraw to the Huo Mansion.
Of course, all expenses for the Huo Mansion's two thousand guards during this period will be paid for by the Crown Prince's Mansion."
When she said the last sentence, Jiang Wumei winked at Xu Junjun and gave her a look that only they two understood.
Xu Junjun suddenly understood and gave Jiang Wumei a thumbs up, praising her sincerely.
Great, Niaoniao’s move is really great!
No wonder Niao Niao asked me to get two thousand guards from the Huo family. It turned out that they were waiting for Xiao Tong here!
The daily cost of food, clothing and other necessities for two thousand people is an astronomical figure, and there is a lot of profit to be made from it!
Although the small treasury she and Niao Niao had hidden was rich, life was so long. Who knew if the small treasury they had saved was enough for them to squander after they escaped from the capital!
For the happy future of their two best friends, it is not excessive for Niao Niao to cheat Xiao Tong of his gold!
Xu Junjun smiled like a cat stealing fish, and she pulled Jiang Wumei and kept praising her for her intelligence. The two of them were tightly hugged and intimate, which made Xiao Tong's forehead veins jump and his tiger face as black as the bottom of a pot.
He always felt that Xu Junjun and Niao Niao were playing a game of charades, but from the surface, he didn't find any clues.
This inexplicable sense of crisis was too maddening. Xiao Tong sharpened his claws and stared at Xu Junjun with sharp eyes.
I inexplicably feel that the matter of returning to the soul is imminent!
He was worried that if he allowed Niao Niao to continue to stay with Xu Junjun, Niao Niao would become more and more distant from him in the future.
He would never tolerate this happening!
As he thought about it, Xiao Tong became anxious again and paced back and forth restlessly on the soft couch.
Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun had no idea what Xiao Tong was feeling at the moment.
After laughing and joking, the two of them started to discuss the details.
After lunch, Xu Junjun left a few bottles of self-defense poison for Jiang Wumei, and then left the Prince's Mansion with their preliminary plan.
……
Chun Yurong sat in the hall all night, recalling every detail of her acquaintance with Xiao Tong over and over again in her mind, tears streaming down her face.
The cold wind blew into the hall through the window lattice. Chun Yurong's fingertips trembled, her whole body was cold, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, and even breathing felt extremely painful.
She has feelings for Xiao Tong.
As the crown prince, Xiao Tong has a noble and powerful status. He has treated her like a treasure and protected her over the years. If she said she was not tempted, it would be a lie.
But what could he do even if he was moved? Without the position of crown prince, Xiao Tong could not help her become the queen.
The imperial physician's comments on Xiao Tong's health doomed him to miss the throne. For the sake of a glorious future, she had to make a painful choice.
Therefore, at the moment of dawn, Chun Yurong made a decision.
Shuiyue personally carried a letter written by her and sent it out of the Prince's Mansion.
With the departure of this letter, it also marked that she personally severed her past with Xiao Tong and buried all the affection between them.
Shuiyue quickly brought back Chunfu's reply.
Along with Chun Weiguang's handwritten letter, a jade pendant belonging to the second prince Xiao Yi was also delivered to Chun Yurong.
After reading the letter, Chun Yurong touched the delicate patterns on the Panlong jade pendant. The sadness in her body gradually faded away, and a cluster of flames ignited from her pupils until it occupied her entire eyes.
“My Lady, the Master has ordered this servant to give this to you.
If you have made up your mind, please add this medicine to His Highness's medicine.
This medicine comes from southern Xinjiang. It is colorless and tasteless, dissolving in water without a trace. Even if you use a silver needle to test for poison, you won't detect any problems."
Shuiyue lowered her voice, took out a crimson jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to Chun Yurong's palm.
The jade bottle was cold to the touch, and Chun Yurong's palms ached as she gripped it. She closed her eyes for a while and spoke in a cold voice:
“I understand.
Tomorrow I will go to His Highness's bedroom to serve him medicine."
