"What time is it?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Wumei realized that her voice was extremely hoarse. She immediately realized that she had fallen ill last night. No wonder she was haunted by nightmares while sleeping.

"It's already 1:00 PM. Your Majesty, you had a high fever in the middle of the night and have been unconscious for a long time."

After pouring a glass of warm water for Jiang Wumei to drink, Qingzhi said with a distressed look on his face:

"Please stay here for a while. I will ask the kitchen to send some light meals over right away."

After lying down for so long, Jiang Wumei was covered in sweat and felt sticky. Upon hearing this, she shook her head and said:

"Let someone bring some hot water first. I need to take a bath."

Qingzhi nodded, walked quickly outside and gave a few instructions, and a maid immediately took the order and left.

After Qingzhi came back, Jiang Wumei drank two more cups of warm water to suppress the bitterness in her mouth before looking around.

"Is His Highness in the mansion?"

Such a big thing as Xiao Tong's awakening must not be hidden from the Qilin Guards. In addition, there were several waves of assassins who attacked the Prince's Mansion last night. Xiao Tong might have been called to the palace by the Emperor for questioning.

As Jiang Wumei expected, Qingzhi put the cup aside, carefully avoiding her wound, and said softly:

"Your Highness was called away by Lord Zhao early this morning. He returned to the palace to see you at noon, but before he had even stayed for half an hour, he was invited back to the palace by a eunuch. He hasn't returned home yet."

Jiang Wumei's throat was itchy and she couldn't help coughing twice. She pressed her slightly painful forehead and said:

"His Highness has just woken up from a long sleep, and such a major event has occurred in the palace. He has been summoned to the palace, and I'm afraid he will be kept there tonight.

Send someone to the Huo Mansion immediately and have Junjun bring medicine to the Prince's Mansion, saying that I'm sick and asking her to come and treat me."

Qingzhi didn't understand what her master wanted to do with the young lady of the Huo family at this moment, but since her master had spoken, she had no choice but to nod and obey, and immediately make the arrangements.

Old Madam Huo had a headache today, so Xu Junjun stayed by her side the whole day, pressing the acupoints on her head to relieve her headache.

Huo Zhengfeng, Su Yun and his wife, as well as Huo Qiming, had all come to see them early in the morning, but Mrs. Huo was still angry with Huo Qiming and didn't even let him into the yard. She only allowed Huo Zhengfeng and his wife to see them.

Seeing Huo Qiming being humiliated, Xu Junjun was so happy that she ate two more bowls of lunch.

In the evening, Xu Junjun was talking to Madam Huo in her courtyard when she heard someone from the Prince's Mansion tell her that Jiang Wumei was injured in the Prince's Mansion. She hurried back to the courtyard to pack her things and prepare to go.

When Huo Qiming returned to the hospital after hearing the news, Xu Junjun was stuffing all the pills she had made into her arms, preparing to give them all to Jiang Wumei later.

After returning to Beijing, Huo Qiming knew that the guards of Huo Mansion had been seconded by his grandmother to the Prince's Mansion to protect the Prince.

It is also known that the idea of ​​secondment came from Concubine Jiang in the Prince's Mansion.

Seeing Xu Junjun being so close to Concubine Jiang, Huo Qiming always felt something was wrong.

However, his parents and grandmother did not mention this matter after returning to Beijing, and he was also worried about Chen Yue'er, so he did not have time to investigate the reason.

Seeing something happened in the Prince's Mansion today, Xu Junjun wanted to go there again, but Huo Qiming frowned and stopped her in the house.

"The situation at the Crown Prince's Mansion is unclear. What are you doing there now?"

Huo Qiming had met Xiao Tong before. In this crown prince of the Great Saint Dynasty, he saw what it meant to be awe-inspiring without anger and what it meant to be decisive in killing.

Huo Qiming believed that he was extremely talented and stood out among his peers, but when he stood in front of the young crown prince, he felt ashamed of himself and understood the saying that there are always people better than you.

But no matter how honorable and outstanding Xiao Tong was, it did not prevent Huo Qiming from considering the Huo family and stopping Xu Junjun who repeatedly tried to get involved in trouble.

Looking at his arm lying across his face, Xu Junjun rolled her eyes, met Huo Qiming's gloomy face, and said bluntly:

"What do I do to you?

Are you my grandmother or my parents? Why do you want me to report everything to you?

If you don’t want to be slapped again, get away from me.”

Following last night, this was the second time Huo Qiming was scolded by Xu Junjun.

Holding back his anger, Huo Qiming tried to calm down and reason with her:

"I won't hold you responsible for the matter of you persuading my grandmother to borrow soldiers from the Huo family to protect the palace.

But from today on, you must not get involved in anything that happens in the Prince's Mansion, lest you drag the Huo Mansion into trouble."

Xu Junjun laughed in anger, crossed her arms, looked at the self-satisfied man in front of her, and retorted bluntly:

"Huo Qiming, who the hell do you think you are? You still want to hold me accountable!

My grandmother and my parents haven't said anything, why are you jumping out here to make a presence?

If you don't want me to have any contact with the Prince's Mansion, if you have the ability, go and persuade my grandmother to recall the guards before you come and bark at me.

Now, a good dog doesn't block the road, quickly get out of my way and don't block me from saving people!"

Huo Qiming's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He thought Xu Junjun was just a stubborn and foolish woman.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I stopped you because I didn't want you to be a burden to the Huo family!

If you didn't have the title of Young Lady of the Huo family, do you think I would be willing to take care of you?"

Huo Qiming didn't realize that since the last time Xu Junjun scolded him, his tolerance for Xu Junjun has increased a lot. Today, Xu Junjun also pointed at his nose and scolded him, but he just thought that Xu Junjun was stupid, but he didn't feel much anger in his heart.

Xu Junjun didn't care what Huo Qiming thought. Now that Huo Qiming was stopping her from going to the Prince's Mansion, he deserved to die.

After glaring at him, Xu Junjun put her hand on his chest and pushed him hard. Huo Qiming was caught off guard and almost fell down the corridor.

After gaining his footing, Huo Qiming's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Junjun grabbed his mouth and made a zipper gesture:

"Shut up! If you keep on pestering me, I'll poison you and make you mute!

Now that you've become mute, will Grandma help you or me?

Xu Junjun bared his white teeth threateningly, and watched with satisfaction as Huo Qiming's eyes changed and he remained silent. Only then did he let go contentedly and quickly left the courtyard.

Looking at Xu Junjun's jumping back, Huo Qiming touched his burning lips with a sullen face and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to communicate with Xu Junjun.

This woman is rebellious and hot-tempered. It seems that she cannot be content with the ordinary path.

If she wants to reduce her contact with Concubine Jiang, she must find another way.

Huo Qiming, who has not yet found out the truth about Chen Yue'er, begins to worry about how to sever Xu Junjun's connection with the Prince's Mansion because the Prince has awakened.

During the Crown Prince's coma, the calls in the court for the Second Prince to be appointed as the crown prince grew louder and louder. Even some ministers who were originally on the Crown Prince's side chose to change sides and support the Second Prince and the Queen.

Huo Qiming had a premonition that once the prince woke up, there would be a commotion in the court. The Huo family had been generals for generations, and they only wanted to protect the peace of the Great Saint Dynasty. They had no intention of getting involved in the power struggle. He had to go to his grandmother and father immediately to discuss and cut off Xu Junjun's contact with the prince's mansion.

Xu Junjun walked out of the Huo Mansion and got on the carriage, cursing Huo Qiming all the way until she arrived at the Prince's Mansion and changed her mind.

Arriving at Jiang Wumei's bedroom with ease, Xu Junjun saw her best friend's miserable state, and her screams nearly ripped the roof off her face.

"Jiang Wumei, why are you cosplaying as a sick beauty?

Do you want to scare me to death?! "
