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

The cold wind was howling outside the hall.

The hall is so lonely.

In such a huge palace, Chun Yurong was the only one waiting there.

The biting coldness froze her fingertips all the way to her heart, and her whole face was abnormally gray.

At midnight, there was finally a noise outside the palace. With the creaking of the palace door, Shuiyue entered the palace with a panicked look on her face and reported in a low voice:

"My lady, I brought the things back."

Chun Yurong's face lit up with joy, and he spoke very quickly:

"Show it to me quickly."

Shuiyue took out a tightly sealed lacquer bucket from her bosom and handed it to Chun Yurong, whispering:

"The master has sent your letter to the Second Prince for review. He did not reply, but sent this back."

Chun Yurong held the two-foot-long paint bucket in his hand, his eyes flashing with brilliance:

"What is this?

Same as last time, a deadly poison?"

As soon as she said this, Chun Yurong felt something was wrong. She felt something moving inside the paint bucket. She squinted her eyes and looked inside through the small air hole at the bottom of the bucket.

But when he saw the inside of the paint bucket for the first time, Chun's pupils suddenly constricted and he threw the paint bucket out.

The tightly sealed paint bucket rolled over on the ground a few times, making a tinkling sound. Shuiyue was startled by Chun Yurong and hurriedly said:

"Don't be afraid, Madam. I've checked. This paint bucket is sealed tightly. As long as you don't open the secret lock on the lid, the snake inside will never get out."

Chun Yurong's heartbeat was violent. He swallowed and then spoke to Shuiyue:

"Pick up the things and let me take a look at them."

Shuiyue nodded quickly, ran to pick up the paint bucket, avoided the secret lock, and carefully handed it to Chun Yurong.

The light and shadow in the hall fell on the lacquer bucket, making it look like a ghost floating in the air.

Chun Yurong looked at the secret lock on the paint bucket, took a deep breath, and held the paint bucket in her hand again.

After calming down, Chun Yurong looked into the bucket through the air hole again. Two slender colorful poisonous snakes were entangled and surging in the lacquer bucket, raising their heads and spitting out their tongues, looking very scary.

“The person sent by the Second Prince said that this snake is called the Half-Step Snake, comes from the Western Regions, and is extremely poisonous.

If an ordinary person is bitten by it, he will bleed from all seven orifices and die in less than half an incense stick.

Your Majesty, please be extremely careful when using it."

Shuiyue's reminder made Chun Yurong's eyes shine even brighter.

She looked at the colorful snake body in the paint bucket, narrowed her eyes, and her face was full of viciousness.

"If the Second Prince is willing to part with such a precious baby, then I must seize the opportunity and send Jiang Wumei to the west tonight!

So that she can go to the Yellow Springs Road and wait for His Highness first!

You must immediately hand this paint bucket to our undercover agent and instruct her to find a way to release these two snakes into Jiang Wumei's bedroom tonight!"

Shuiyue was very embarrassed after taking the paint bucket:

"Your Majesty, our people have been cleared out by Concubine Jiang.

Right now, there are many guards in Concubine Jiang's bedroom, so it might be difficult to take action.

Moreover, I just came back secretly from the corner gate and found that there were suddenly many more guards in the mansion.

Those guards were all strangers. If it weren't for our people helping to cover up, I would have been stopped and searched by them."

Chun Yurong was stunned for a moment, then frowned:

“Is there such a thing?

Did you see these guards when you left the house just now?"

Shuiyue shook her head and said firmly:

"No.

These people must have been added during the few hours between when I left the house and when I returned.

And it seems that he is not the guard beside His Highness."

Chun Yurong's expression became increasingly grim. After a moment of thought, he spoke:

"These people must be that Zhao Qi who came to protect His Highness.

It seems we must act tonight, otherwise, once they have arranged their personnel, I will have no chance to act."

Thinking of this, Chun Yurong gritted his teeth and said to Shuiyue:

"No matter what method you choose to use, I must get it done tonight.

Tomorrow morning, I will definitely hear the news of Jiang Wumei's death!"

Frightened by Chun Yurong's sinister expression, Shuiyue trembled all over and immediately said:

"I will go find those people and find a way to put this snake into Concubine Jiang's bedroom."

"and many more!"

Just as Shuiyue was about to leave with the paint bucket, Chun Yurong called her coldly.

Shuiyue shuddered, turned back to look at Chun Yurong, and said fearfully:

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Chun Yurong's sharp eyes swept over her from head to toe until Shuiyue trembled all over, then he suddenly stood up:

“It’s better for me to do it myself!

This venomous snake was hard to come by. If it is wasted by you idiots, we will have to find another opportunity.

I don't have the patience to wait any longer. While I'm holding Jiang Wumei back, you'll find a chance to release the snake. Do you understand me? "

Chun Yurong's last sentence was extremely cold and gloomy. Shuiyue jumped and nodded quickly:

"I heard.

This servant will remember your Majesty's instructions."

After tidying up her dress, Chun Yurong put on the silver fox cloak given by Xiao Tong, and walked quickly towards Jiang Wumei's bedroom with several maids.

It was already past midnight. Seeing Chun Yurong coming in the cold night, the guards outside Jiang Wumei's palace were very surprised and raised their hands to stop her without thinking.

"Concubine Chun, Concubine Jiang has gone to bed. If Concubine Chun needs anything, please come back tomorrow."

Chun Yurong raised her chin and shouted angrily:

"How dare you! I have something important to discuss with Concubine Jiang, and you dare to stop me!"

The guard bowed his head and pleaded guilty, but his attitude was very tough:

"Princess Chun, please forgive me. I am only following orders. Please don't embarrass me."

Chun Yurong stared at the bedroom not far away, her face as dark as ink. She didn't expect that she was outside Jiang Wumei's palace but couldn't even get in!

This bitch is so hateful that she is still showing off to her even when she is about to die!

Shuiyue, who was standing by, saw that the situation was not right and winked behind her. A sturdy maid immediately stood up and shouted at the guards:

"How dare you not see who you are talking to!

Concubine Jiang has the same status as my master, so why should my master come again tomorrow?

If you have the decency to do so, leave immediately. Otherwise, when His Highness wakes up, I will punish you for your disrespect!"

The maid was sharp-tongued, and the guard's face grew darker and darker as she scolded him. Just as he was about to speak, a figure appeared outside the hall, his face sullen and his voice stern, questioning:

"Who's making such a noise outside? You're disturbing my queen's sleep. I'm afraid you'll lose several heads!"

As the figure walked in, Qingzhi's solemn face appeared in front of everyone.

Behind her were two maids, both of whom stared unkindly at the maid who had made the noise just now.

When the maid was seen by the three men, her heart trembled instantly, and she couldn't help but hide behind them, fearing that Qingzhi would cause trouble for her.

Qingzhi retracted his gaze and walked in front of Chun Yurong. As if he had just realized something, he bowed slightly.

"It turned out to be Concubine Chun coming over. I didn't see clearly before and thought it was some vicious dog barking at the palace gate. I hope Concubine Chun will forgive me."

Chun Yurong snorted coldly, and just as he was about to speak in a pretentious manner, he saw Qingzhi's face darken and continued:

"Just now, the maid behind Concubine Chun spoke rudely to my queen, and it's obvious that she lacks discipline.

Such a rebellious servant would be a disaster if he stayed by Concubine Chun's side.

Concubine Chun is kindhearted and cannot bear to criticize me harshly. Today, I will play the villain and teach Concubine Chun a lesson."

Chun Yurong frowned and raised her eyebrows to stop him, but she saw Qingzhi striding forward and slapping the maid five or six times with a stern face.

The sound of the slap was crisp and sharp, just like the two slaps he had given Shuiyue last time. The maid was beaten until she saw stars and fell to the ground. Qingzhi finally stopped and returned to his original position, raising a decent smile towards Chun Yurong:

"It's late at night and the cold is so severe, so I won't invite Concubine Chun to the palace to rest. Your Majesty, please do as you please. I will take my leave now."
