Chun Yurong originally wanted to wait for Jiang Wumei to refute, and then act pitiful to confirm her domineering and oppressive remarks.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wumei turned around and did this, which really made her confused.

She stood there with her hands covering her shoulders, completely unable to understand what Jiang Wumei was up to.

Facing her confused gaze, Jiang Wumei smiled at her. Her smile was extremely bright, but inexplicably frightening.

"Concubine Chun, I will assign two more maids to serve you.

I hope you cherish your time before His Highness wakes up.

After all, there isn't much time left for you."

"Jiang Wumei, what do you mean!"

The disguised sadness on her face was easily broken by her last words. Chun Yurong asked sternly, not realizing that her mood was collapsing.

Jiang Wumei didn't say much to her. She glanced at her with a smile, then led the guards out of the palace slowly.

As they approached the palace gate, Jiang Wumei suddenly remembered something and said to Qingzhi beside her:

"By the way, please ask a doctor to check her shoulder.

Lest His Highness wake up and find Concubine Chun a cripple with a missing arm, he get angry with me."

Jiang Wumei walked away with a sweet smile. Qingzhi squatted down and agreed. She asked two maids to go in and help Chun Yurong. She sent someone to call a doctor, and then left with Jiang Wumei.

"My Lady Concubine, I will help you into the palace."

All the maids that she was familiar with in the past were kidnapped by Jiang Wumei, and now she sent two people from her palace to monitor her. Chun Yurong felt annoyed when she saw these two people.

She shook off the two men's arms, covered the wound on her shoulder, and moved towards the hall, shouting angrily:

"Everyone, get away from me!"

The two maids looked at each other after being scolded by her, and stood there without moving.

They didn't want to serve Concubine Chun in the first place, and now that Concubine Chun didn't allow them to get close to her, they were left alone.

……

After sending all the people to Zhao Qi's confidants for interrogation, Jiang Wumei took Qingzhi back to the bedroom to check on the white tiger cub.

"My Lady, the white tiger cub has woken up. We are now feeding it animal milk according to the doctor's instructions."

As soon as Jiang Wumei entered the hall, she heard the good news. Her eyebrows raised and she smiled sincerely.

"I'm glad you're awake. Hurry and bring me here so I can take a look."

The maid responded with a smile. While Jiang Wumei was washing her hands, the maid came out holding a ball of snow-white.

Looking at the sick little kid in the maid's arms, Jiang Wumei's face was full of heartache. She wiped her hands casually and stretched out her arm to take it.

Smelling the familiar lotus fragrance on her, the white tiger cub became noticeably more lively. It raised its dangling front paws and, as usual, moved closer to Jiang Wumei's cheek and gently licked and kissed her.

Feeling the white tiger cub's attachment, Jiang Wumei's heart melted. She held it in one hand and gently stroked the white tiger cub's round little head with the other.

"Little guy, you are the hero who saved my life this time.

When you get better, I will reward you with lots of meat."

Jiang Wumei's eyes were filled with smiles and her tone was gentle. Xiao Tong smelled the faint lotus fragrance on her body and felt that the pain in his body was silently soothed by her.

He licked Jiang Wumei's palm with his tongue again. Xiao Tong remembered his brief return to consciousness last night and felt more at ease.

Everything has its own way.

Although his soul only returned for a few breaths this time, maybe his whole soul will return next time.

Then, he would be able to truly embrace Niao Niao and sleep with her.

Right now, he just needs to calm down and accompany her well, waiting for the day of her return as Master Lechen said.

By the way, use Niao Niao's hand to see clearly all the monsters around you.

When he finally comes to his senses, it will be time to settle the accounts.

After holding the white tiger cub for a while, Jiang Wumei put it back into the nest, letting it have a good rest, and went behind the screen to change her clothes.

When Qingzhi entered the hall, Jiang Wumei had already changed into a green long dress with the help of her maid. She was now leaning on the couch, drinking hot tea, and letting two maids massage her shoulders and legs.

"Your Majesty, all the people have been sent to Lord Zhao.

Lord Zhao has also personally put away the wooden box and said he will personally present it to His Highness after he wakes up."

Jiang Wumei hummed, picked up the teacup and asked:

"Has Zhao Qi ever asked me about the fact that I have placed Chun Yurong under house arrest?"

Qingzhi smiled and shook his head:

“I never asked.

After these few days, Lord Zhao must have realized that the Queen is the one who truly loves His Highness.

As long as the Queen doesn't take Concubine Chun's life, he shouldn't stop her."

Jiang Wumei nodded:

"He's a good man."

Zhao Qi's ability was unquestionable as he was able to stay with Xiao Tong for such a long time. Now he had the advantage of knowing when to advance and when to retreat, which made Jiang Wumei appreciate him a little bit.

But, that's just one point.

After all, in Jiang Wumei's mind, those who can work for Xiao Tong are not good people, and they have no idea how many lives they have taken in secret.

The reason why he even took a look at Zhao Qigao was entirely because of his outstanding work ability.

"By the way, Madam, Lord Zhao just told me that he has captured the traitor among the secret guards.

Do you want to interrogate him personally?"

Jiang Wumei raised her eyebrows, and was even more satisfied with Zhao Qi's efficiency:

"Caught it so quickly?

It seems that Zhao Qi is not the kind of person who just sits there and does nothing.

Send someone to tell him that I have no time to take care of the affairs of the Secret Guards, so let him make the decision himself."

By temporarily suppressing Chun Yurong, the biggest worry in her heart, Jiang Wumei's tense nerves were relaxed for a moment.

But there are still many evil spirits hiding in the Prince's Mansion, so she dare not let her guard down.

"By the way, when you sent someone to deliver the message, please specifically mention Zhao Qi.

The maid who released the snake in this palace last night is definitely not a simple person. Let him interrogate her carefully.

Perhaps, we can follow the clues from this maid and find more useful information."

There are also people who secretly want to kill Xiao Tong, including the Queen and the Second Prince. If Chun Yurong falls, others will emerge like mushrooms after rain.

It would be right to make Zhao Qi more alert.

"Yes, ma'am."

Qingzhi squatted down and agreed, then immediately walked out of the bedroom to make arrangements.

It had been sunny for several days in a row, but after noon, dark clouds gathered over the capital again.

By evening, heavy snow began to fall.

The snow was so heavy that in a short while the entire avenue of the capital was covered in white snow.

The green bricks and green tiles of the mansions were covered by the snow, losing their original color.

In the Huo Mansion, Xu Junjun was looking at the heavy snow outside the window, feeling uneasy and her eyelids twitching.
