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

Everyone moved to the back garden of the general's mansion and sat down in the octagonal pavilion in the garden.

Mrs. Huo gave Xu Junjun full authority to handle all matters related to entertaining the guests. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how much she valued Xu Junjun.

Jiang Wumei was clear-minded and knew that Mrs. Huo was truly kind to Xu Junjun.

No wonder, Junjun always prepared medicine for Old Madam Huo with all her heart, and even went to her to look for the medicinal ingredients when she couldn't find them.

The four of them sat down, and the servants served them hot tea and cakes, and each of them had a beautiful and exquisite hot water bottle. In addition, Xu Junjun ordered the servants to bring seven or eight charcoal basins. The four of them sat in the pavilion and did not feel cold. They only smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms and felt refreshed all over.

Surrounded by servants in the octagonal pavilion, Jiang Wumei sat in front of the three old ladies, getting along very well with everyone and chatting with them. She pursed her lips and smiled from time to time, looking like a lady from the Merlin Garden, which made Xu Junjun admire her from the bottom of her heart.

After a few rounds of conversation, everyone had almost finished chatting and it was almost lunchtime. Jiang Wumei glanced in the direction of Xu Junjun.

Receiving the signal, Xu Junjun nodded, took a few steps forward and said with a smile:

"My Lady Consort, the two old ladies, the north wind is about to pick up outside. Why don't we have lunch in the hall first and then go out for a walk after lunch?"

As soon as she spoke, Mrs. Huo realized that it was already lunchtime and said with a smile:

"Junjun is right. Although the plum blossoms in the garden are beautiful, the cold wind is too biting. Let's go have dinner first and then come out to enjoy the scenery later."

Jiang Wumei had the most distinguished status here. Upon hearing what she said, the other two old ladies all looked at her. Only when they saw her nod and smile in response did they speak out in agreement.

"That's great. I'll listen to you, Madam."

Seeing that the four people agreed, Xu Junjun turned around and told the servants to set the meal, helped Mrs. Huo up, and led the others to the dining room on the side.

As they moved, the servants and maids behind them also stood up and followed their masters.

There are guests at home today, and Xu Junjun has already ordered the dishes to be carefully prepared.

In order to cater to the tastes of the distinguished guests, the chefs in the mansion prepared cuisines from four styles: Shandong, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Fujian and Zhejiang, for fear that they would neglect the food.

The table was filled with fine wine and delicious food. Jiang Wumei was in high spirits and even asked the three old ladies to have a few drinks of osmanthus wine.

Unexpectedly, after a few drinks, her cheeks turned pink and her eyes were full of charm, which made Mrs. Huo's eyelids twitch, and she secretly sighed that the prince was very lucky.

The other two old ladies looked at Jiang Wumei's stunning appearance, glanced at each other, and were amazed by each other's eyes.

I have heard that the daughter of the Jiang family is the most beautiful girl in the capital. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed extraordinary. No wonder a steady and mature man like the prince would ignore all the beauties in the backyard and favor her alone.

Just when everyone was almost done with lunch, a maid brought up a bowl of soup.

"Madam, this is the tonic soup you should drink today. The kitchen was busy and forgot about it, so it was only brought here just now."

The soup arrived unexpectedly, and Jiang Wumei and the others' eyes were attracted by the large jade-white soup bowl.

The old lady nodded and waved her hand to let the maid leave. After the soup was served, she smiled and explained to Jiang Wumei and the other two:

"This is a blood-tonifying soup specially prescribed by Junjun. It's all thanks to this soup that I have these black hairs growing on my temples.

If the Concubine and the two elder sisters don't mind, they can try it together."

Jiang Wumei took a look at the nourishing soup, looked at the ginseng, black chicken, and Chinese herbs that had been boiled until soft, and glanced at Xu Junjun.

Xu Junjun nodded slightly at her, indicating that everything was going according to plan.

With a light cough, Jiang Wumei smiled like a flower:

"Since the old lady is willing to give it up, I will give it a try.

Green branches."

Qingzhi, who was standing behind Jiang Wumei, walked forward, picked up the jade bowl, filled it with half a bowl and placed it in front of Jiang Wumei.

Jiang Wumei lowered her head and took a sip, then raised her eyebrows and praised:

“This tonic soup has a fragrant aroma and tastes quite unique when you drink it.

The two old ladies can also try it."

The other two were already curious when they heard Mrs. Huo say that this soup could help black hair grow. After hearing Jiang Wumei's words, they naturally filled a bowl each and smiled and lowered their heads to taste it.

Seeing that all three of them had drunk it, Mrs. Huo asked her maid to serve a bowl herself. Just as she was about to feed it to their mouths, something strange happened.

Jiang Wumei, who was sitting at the top and smiling a moment ago, suddenly frowned. Before anyone could react, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards with a painful look on her face.

"Miss!"

Qingzhi screamed and immediately rushed over to support Jiang Wumei. She found that Jiang Wumei's eyes were closed and her face was in pain. She ordered sternly:

"Come here, quickly call the imperial physician, quickly call the imperial physician!"

The hall was suddenly in chaos.

Xu Junjun rushed over nervously and stuffed a pill into Jiang Wumei's mouth. He frowned and checked her pulse for a moment, then said in shock:

"Oh no! The Concubine has been poisoned!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Huo and the other two turned pale and stood up to check the situation.

But before the three of them could get close, the two old ladies who had drunk the soup also vomited blood and fell down.

The two old ladies' servants shouted and rushed over to check the situation, and the hall became even more chaotic in an instant.

Mrs. Huo's expression changed drastically, and she said sternly:

“Someone, someone!

Immediately go to the Imperial Hospital and ask three imperial doctors to come over.

Anyone who has touched food in the mansion today will be arrested, tied up and thrown into the woodshed to await their fate."

Xu Junjun ordered people to send Jiang Wumei, who was unconscious due to poisoning, and the two old ladies to the hospital. To be on the safe side, she took out three heart-protecting pills and fed them to each of them.

Mrs. Huo was supported by Nanny Li and stared at Xu Junjun's movements without blinking. After she finished her work, she spoke tremblingly:

"Jun, Junjun, Concubine, are you okay with the two old sisters?"

Xu Junjun hesitated and said:

"Concubine Jiang drank the most tonic soup, was the most poisoned, and was in the worst condition.

The two old ladies are feeling better, but it will take them two to three years to recover from this ordeal."

Mrs. Huo's eyes went dark, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Xu Junjun was startled and rushed over. Together with Li Ma, they supported her shaky body on both sides and whispered to comfort her:

"Grandma, don't worry too much.

Although they were all seriously injured by the poisoning, they had all taken heart-protecting pills and their lives were not in danger.

The most important thing now is to find out what happened and give an explanation to the three families.

The most important thing is to give the Crown Prince an explanation."

Mrs. Huo came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, her eyes were like torches, and she said hatefully:

"Yes, check it for me!

I want to see who is so cruel and ruthless as to have the audacity to poison my general's mansion!"

The hunched figure straightened up instantly, and Mrs. Huo's face was covered with dark clouds, as if a storm was coming:

"Junjun, you stay here and look after the Concubine and the two old ladies. When the imperial physician arrives, have them carefully diagnose and treat the three of them.

Grandma, go catch the person who poisoned you!"

She has been immersed in corruption in the harem for decades. If she still can't see the disaster today, it means someone is deliberately trying to harm her. The past few decades have been lived in vain by Madam Huo.

At this moment, she only wanted to catch the mastermind who was trying to overthrow the General's Mansion, pull out his tendons and bones, and cut him into pieces!

Xu Junjun nodded vigorously in response, his face full of determination:

"Don't worry, Grandmother. With me here, nothing will happen to Concubine Jiang and the others!"
