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

Jiang Wumei heard the sound of breaking air behind her but didn't care. She walked steadily to the big bed and stretched out a hand to lift the gauze curtain.

Beneath the heavy veils, Xiao Tong's handsome face instantly caught the eye.

Jiang Wumei glanced at his tightly closed eyes and slightly heaving chest, then looked at Zhao Qi intently.

"Order someone to boil another bowl of medicine and send it over. After testing the poison, I will personally serve the medicine to Your Highness."

Xiao Tong, who was in her arms, looked at his body on the bed. His tiger hair instantly exploded and his eyes became sharp and difficult to read.

This experience of the soul leaving the body and entering the body of an animal happened to Xiao Tong himself. When he thinks back on it now, he still finds it surprising and bizarre.

Looking at his own body lying unconscious on the bed, the strong sense of unease and separation made Xiao Tong feel angry. He couldn't help but lean closer to Jiang Wumei, using the familiar lotus fragrance on her body to dispel the depression and anger in his heart.

Zhao Qi took the order and left. He walked to the door of the palace and gave a few instructions. Immediately, a black shadow appeared and jumped away.

Returning to the palace, Zhao Qi saw Jiang Wumei had taken off her cloak and was sitting beside her, holding the white tiger cub. He hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and asked:

"May I ask, Your Majesty, how did you know there was a spy among the secret guards?"

Xiao Tong also wanted to know this question. He suppressed the discomfort boiling in his heart, raised his head and stared at Jiang Wumei, his tiger eyes shining with doubt.

He was very puzzled. Since entering the hall, Niao Niao had arranged everything in an orderly manner, as if she had anticipated what would happen tonight.

Moreover, when Zhao Qi was racking his brains, she pointed out that there was something wrong with the secret guard.

How did Niao Niao know about this thing that even he didn't know?

Jiang Wumei, who was being stared at by the man and the tiger, smiled faintly.

She sat aside, gently patting the white tiger cub's back, and looked at Zhao Qi with eyes full of disgust:

“Isn’t it obvious?

The only people in the Prince's Mansion who have access to His Highness's medicine now, apart from the secret guards, are the two beauties mentioned earlier.

I have sent people to keep an eye on them every day, but have not found any of them planning to take action. The problem must be with the secret guards.

Moreover, from the fact that he poisoned people tonight, it can be confirmed that this traitor does not hold a high position among the secret guards.

He didn't even know that His Highness needed to test the medicine for poison twice a day. He was obviously a marginal figure among the secret guards.

Even Master Zhao can't grasp such a simple truth. I'm really worried about whether Master can truly protect His Highness."

Speaking of the latter part, Jiang Wumei stared at Zhao Qi with a smile, an amusement on her face.

Zhao Qi was numb, kneeling on the ground with a dead face to plead guilty:

"I am a fool, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Jiang Wumei waved her hand, not feeling guilty at all about borrowing the book to predict the spy. Instead, she pretended to be a good person and gently persuaded Zhao Qi:

"No problem.

Ever since His Highness got into trouble, Lord Zhao has been taking care of him every day. As time goes by, he has been sleep deprived, so occasional omissions are understandable.

However, I hope that Lord Zhao can find out the spy among the secret guards within a day.

Otherwise, if news of tonight's events spreads outside the palace, Your Highness will be in even greater danger."

Zhao Qi frowned and responded in a low voice.

He could hear that the Concubine Jiang in front of him was scolding him, saying that he had stayed up too many nights and his brain was damaged. He couldn't even handle such a small matter and was bringing shame to His Highness.

Zhao Qi was speechless, it was not that he was not vigilant enough.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be the first to notice if there was a spy among the secret guards.

But this time His Highness fell into a coma suddenly. He had to investigate the cause, find a famous doctor, and ask Master Liaochen from Huguo Temple to come down the mountain to treat His Highness. It was really tiring.

Afterwards, he had to be on guard against those who might plot against His Highness secretly. He wished he could split his brain into three parts. In addition, he had been working non-stop for more than half a month, which led to his subordinates becoming lax and allowing the spies to take advantage of the opportunity.

However, what happened tonight also sounded a wake-up call for Zhao Qi, making him more cautious in employing people in the future and not daring to make any mistakes.

The medicine was quickly boiled and brought over. After two checks to confirm that it was non-toxic, Jiang Wumei fed it to Xiao Tong personally.

"First, let the two men outside kneel for a full night, then take them to the prison tomorrow and interrogate them after His Highness wakes up."

After feeding the medicine, Jiang Wumei gave an instruction, picked up the white tiger cub, and led everyone to leave.

"Congratulations, my dear wife."

As soon as she left, Zhao Qi's expression changed immediately. He called two confidants into the hall and issued five or six instructions in succession before letting them leave.

When the hall was finally quiet, Zhao Qi looked at his master sleeping behind the bed curtains, and a sinister look flashed across his wooden face.

Suddenly, he remembered the warning Master Chen gave him.

Only by discerning people's hearts and seeing through falsehood can you protect yourself!

Discern the Heart of Man…

Master Lechen also wanted to warn him, is there a spy among the secret guards?

If he hadn't discovered the spy among the secret guards today, would he have been careless and killed by this person tomorrow?!

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi's pupils suddenly shrank, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but respect Jiang Wumei even more for pointing out the truth.

In fact, Jiang Wumei knew that there was a spy among the secret guards because she learned about the assassination of Xiao Tong after he ascended the throne in the book.

At that time, the previous emperor passed away and Xiao Tong ascended the throne smoothly. The queen, who had become the empress dowager, held a grudge and wanted to take advantage of the unstable political situation. She ordered spies to assassinate Xiao Tong when he was not prepared and then support her own son to take the throne.

Unfortunately, the assassination failed. The assassinating secret guard was caught by Xiao Tong and tortured. He followed the clues to find out the culprit behind the incident, the Queen Mother. He used this incident to undermine her power, intimidate the court, and confine her to the cold palace forever, allowing Chun Yurong to bully and trample on her.

The secret guard who assassinated him was also punished by Xiao Tong with the punishment of disembowelment, which brought disaster to his entire clan as a warning to the second prince Xiao Yi.

As for why Jiang Wumei was so sure that the two beauties did not take action, it was because in the later part of the book, the two of them obeyed orders and took action, using poison to deal with Chun Yurong, who was already the imperial concubine, rather than using poison.

Moreover, Jiang Wumei was sure that under Zhao Qi's personal supervision, these two people would not be so hopelessly stupid as to dare to poison openly.

Of course, the beauty's fate in the later part of the book was also extremely miserable. When the matter was exposed, she was skinned alive by the tyrant Xiao Tong in front of the entire harem. The concubines were so frightened that no one dared to set their sights on Chun Yurong again.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a beautiful woman with a tragic fate.

Jiang Wumei walked out of the prince's bedroom, recalling and lamenting that Xiao Tong was a bloodthirsty tyrant.

Anyone who touches his reverse scale will not even be able to keep a complete corpse. This was the case with the original owner and these traitors as well.

Fortunately, she doesn't have to spend her whole life with this kind of man, otherwise she would be worried every day, and sooner or later her heart would fail prematurely and she would die of a heart attack!
