The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 49: Slap the evidence in his face
Seeing the bloodstains on Jiang Wumei's cloak, Xiao Tong, whose claws were entangled beside the bedpost, his tiger eyes turned red with shock and anger, his tiger hair exploded and he kept growling, arching his back and began to struggle violently again.
Just now, there was a noise outside the hall, and Xiao Tong and Niao Niao woke up and got out of bed together.
As the noise outside intensified, Xiao Tong realized that Chun Yurong had brought her maid to cause trouble. He became even more furious and wanted to leave the hall with Jiang Wumei.
Unexpectedly, he had just taken a few steps when Jiang Wumei grabbed him and tied him to the bedpost with a soft cloth, making it impossible for him to break free.
All they could do was watch Jiang Wumei, wearing only a thin nightgown and a cloak, walk quickly out of the palace gate against the cold wind.
Having been tied up in the hall, Xiao Tong listened to the conflict between Jiang Wumei and Chun Yurong outside the hall, and even drew swords. His eyes were as cold as fire, his mouth was filled with the smell of blood, and he was full of mania. He wanted to rush out and kill all those who had troubled Jiang Wumei!
Seeing Jiang Wumei coming back with blood stains on her body, anger and fear filled his whole body, making it impossible for him to think quietly. He could only struggle and roar towards Jiang Wumei.
Jiang Wumei's mind was still filled with the image of Shuiyue's face, which looked as if she had died with her eyes open. Coupled with the cold wind outside the palace, she felt a little weak in the knees.
At this moment, warmed by the heat in the hall, she felt like she was alive again and didn't notice the movements of the white tiger cub for a while.
After calming down and pushing Qingzhi's arm away, Jiang Wumei raised her hand to untie her cloak, threw it to the maid beside her, and ordered in a cold voice:
"Burn it."
Just now, the long sword in Chun Yurong's hand was kicked away, and a lot of blood was splattered on the cloak. Jiang Wumei was worried about having nightmares, so she simply burned it to clear her sight.
After a fight with Chun Yurong's gang, Qingzhi and the other two had their hair in disarray and their clothes were stained.
Jiang Wumei looked at them, feeling both headache and heartwarming, and ordered:
"You have done a good job tonight, and I will reward you.
In the future, if Chun Yurong dares to come to provoke me again, just treat them like you did tonight.
If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility!"
Qingzhi and the other two were so moved that they knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Thank you for the reward, my queen."
After all this trouble, someone even died. Jiang Wumei felt very unlucky and waved her hand towards Qingzhi, saying:
"Tell someone to bring in hot water. I want to take a bath.
The three of you should hurry down and wash up, as you are all covered in blood. Tell someone to find some pomelo leaves to wipe your bodies to get rid of the bad luck."
Qingzhi and the other two bowed and left. The hall became quiet, and Jiang Wumei then remembered the tiger cub that she had tied to the foot of the bed.
"Oh, oh, my little darling, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't tie you up like this next time."
Running to the bed, Jiang Wumei saw the white tiger cub struggling with its fur flying and its claws swollen. Her heart ached. She quickly untied the soft cloth, held it in her arms, kissed it and apologized to it.
Feeling Jiang Wumei's strong guilt and pity, Xiao Tong's heart, which was filled with murderous intent and about to explode, gradually calmed down as if being brushed by a gentle rain.
He raised his head, hummed, and licked Jiang Wumei's lips eagerly and restlessly. His front paws clung to her body tightly, and he was reluctant to let go for a moment.
God knows how terrified and frightened he was when he heard the sound of the long sword breaking through the air outside. He felt like he was being fried in a frying pan, and his whole body was filled with severe pain. He was afraid that something might happen to her.
If it weren't for her familiar scolding voice that pulled him back from the pain of death, Xiao Tong didn't know how long his heart would stop beating.
Realizing that the white tiger cub was overly frightened, Jiang Wumei's heart softened. She let it lick and kiss her face all over, patted its little back, and hugged it tighter.
"It's okay, it's okay.
I tied you up in the temple just now because I was afraid that you would get stepped on if you went out. This won’t happen again in the future.
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”
After explaining a few words, seeing that the little guy was still clinging to her tightly and refused to let go, Jiang Wumei stood up with a headache, held it in her arms, stood in front of the window and looked out.
There were crowds of people outside the hall. In the bright lights, the Huo family guards who were guarding the bedroom and the maids who were cleaning the floor were constantly coming and going.
Jiang Wumei held the white tiger cub and looked at it coldly for a while, until the maid in the palace brought hot water, then she lowered her eyes and turned around.
Listening to the sound of dripping water coming from behind the screen, Xiao Tong's irritable and depressed mood gradually calmed down.
He lay on the couch and stared out the window, thinking of everything that had just happened, his tiger eyes flashing with fierceness.
Chun Yurong is extremely utilitarian. He must have an ulterior motive for coming to see Niao Niao at this hour.
What on earth could have happened that made her unable to wait until tomorrow and had to come and provoke in the middle of the night?
He even mistakenly killed a trusted maid he brought from Chun Mansion in order to meet Niao Niao?
Could it be that she wants to harm Niao Niao?
There was a darkness in Xiao Tong's tiger pupils, and the violence in his chest that had finally calmed down began to churn again. He carefully scanned every inch of the courtyard, fearing that he would miss anything.
After staring for a long time without finding anything unusual, Xiao Tong's eyes turned cold and he planned to go outside the hall to investigate.
Just as he jumped off the couch and was about to leave the hall himself, Jiang Wumei changed into a goose yellow nightgown, with wet hair, and walked out from behind the screen.
Seeing the white tiger cub running out of the hall, Jiang Wumei leaned over and took it into her arms, gently patting its furry little head and saying softly:
"The outside of the palace is now stained with blood and is very dirty. If you want to play, tomorrow I will accompany you to the warm room to play for a while."
Qingzhi and the others had already finished washing up and came to serve.
After Jiang Wumei leaned on the soft couch holding the white tiger cub, Qingzhi took out a warm dry towel, walked forward, gathered a strand of black hair, and wiped it carefully.
The farce ended, and the master and servant took a bath and changed their clothes, and both regained their composure from the tension just now.
Jiang Wumei held the white tiger cub in her arms, waved her hand to let the extra people leave, and enjoyed the massage of Qingzhi's fingers running through her hair, her eyelids drooping little by little.
Qingzhi saw that she was getting sleepy, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, tell me, what is the purpose of Concubine Chun coming to our palace tonight to cause trouble?"
Jiang Wumei paused while stroking Tiger's fur, opened her eyes, raised her eyebrows and said:
"Whatever her purpose is, I have no interest in exploring it.
However, her coming to my place to cause trouble tonight gave me a legitimate reason.
Tomorrow morning, you will ask Zhao Qi for fifty guards to put Chun Yurong under house arrest in the bedroom.
Before Her Highness wakes up, no one is allowed to release her without my order."
Qingzhi paused:
"My lady, is this appropriate?
After all, Concubine Chun's rank is equal to yours, and...she is the one that His Highness truly loves.
If you punish her now, what will happen if His Highness wakes up and asks you for punishment?"
When mentioning Xiao Tong, Jiang Wumei's face turned cold and she sneered:
“If I don’t imprison Chun Yurong and allow her and the Chun family to continue their plot, I’m afraid Your Highness will die before he wakes up.
I am trying to save His Highness. If His Highness asks me to hold him accountable after waking up, I will throw the evidence collected by Zhao Qi back into his handsome face.
Let him take a good look at what kind of person this beloved one whom he dotes on day and night is! "
If Chun Yurong had not thought of murdering Xiao Tong a few days ago, Jiang Wumei really would not have dared to touch her.
However, Zhao Qi now knows that she has colluded with the Chun family and planned to assassinate Xiao Tong together with the second prince.
Jiang Wumei just didn't believe that when Xiao Tong woke up and knew the truth, faced with the drama of his lover turning into enemy, he would still be in the mood to cause trouble for her!
If he could continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb and love a woman who was deliberately trying to assassinate him.
Jiang Wumei could only smile and wish the two of them to die together as soon as possible!
Jiang Wumei's eyes were sharp and cold. Xiao Tong lay in her arms, thinking bitterly:
When he woke up, he was too busy doting on her, so how could he be so harsh on her for Chun Yurong, that greedy woman.
I only hope that when he makes amends with all his heart, Niao Niao will open her heart to accept him, forgive him, and give him a chance to atone for his sins...
