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

Looking at Jiang Yuanzhou's distant and polite attitude, Xiao Tong's eyes dimmed slightly, and he felt annoyed and annoyed.

Jiang Yuanzhou is a smart man.

Moreover, he is quite talented.

Otherwise, he would not have secretly sent Jiang Yuanzhou out of the capital before.

All the gestures he had made to protect Chun Yurong back then, when put into perspective today, were like a vicious boomerang, accurately piercing his heart, tearing his flesh and revealing his fragile pulse, causing Xiao Tong unbearable pain and full of regret.

However, as the crown prince and having experienced years of persecution, Xiao Tong's mind was tough and deep, which was unmatched by ordinary people.

Even though Jiang Yuanzhou looked like he was keeping people at arm's length, Xiao Tong quickly adjusted his attitude and changed the subject:

"I came here to ask you something.

The Ministry of Revenue is about to dismiss a large number of officials. With your talent, you are qualified for the position of Vice Minister.

If you are willing, I can recommend you to the emperor to become the youngest minister of the Ministry of Revenue. What do you think?"

"I am deeply troubled and hope Your Highness will revoke your order."

Jiang Yuanzhou refused with a bow and said frankly:

“I know that Your Highness has good intentions, but I am still young in the court. If I were to be appointed as an assistant minister because of Your Highness, I am afraid it would be difficult to convince the public.

If virtue does not match one's position, disaster will surely follow. I do not wish to tarnish your highness's reputation through my own mistakes."

Jiang Yuanzhou's words were very beautiful. He rejected Xiao Tong's proposal without being rude and angering him, which made Xiao Tong feel even more depressed.

Jiang Yuanzhou is really a tough nut to crack, not as gentle as Niao Niao at all.

However, for Niao Niao, no matter how difficult it is to deal with Jiang Yuanzhou, Xiao Tong will take him down.

Therefore, Xiao Tong ignored Jiang Yuanzhou's refusal and said directly:

"Officials in the court are given to those who are capable. You just stay in the Ministry of Revenue and I will take care of the rest.

Now, go back first. I will find you again if I need you later."

Seeing Xiao Tong's determined expression, Jiang Yuanzhou's eyes flickered slightly and he stopped insisting:

"I will follow your Highness's arrangements. I will take my leave."

"Ah."

Xiao Tong nodded and resumed his cold and arrogant demeanor of being frugal with words. After Jiang Yuanzhou left, he looked at Zhao Qi behind him.

"What did Jiang Yuanzhou talk about when he met Niao Niao today?"

After waking up, Xiao Tong's possessiveness of Jiang Wumei grew even stronger. Even if it was Jiang Yuanzhou, Xiao Tong didn't want him to occupy too much of Jiang Wumei's time.

Zhao Qi clasped his fists and whispered:

"Your Highness, you instructed yesterday that the secret guards should not get too close to Concubine Jiang when monitoring.

Today, when Jiang Yuanzhou was talking to the Concubine, the palace door was closed, and our people were too far away to hear clearly.

Seeing Xiao Tong's face darken, Zhao Qi hurried to remedy the situation:

"I will go and instruct them to monitor Concubine Jiang's movements as usual."

Zhao Qi turned around and tried to leave, but Xiao Tong stopped him with a dark face.

“No need, in the future at the Prince’s Mansion, Niao Niao will be the most honorable hostess.

If I am not here, she can command all of you, and you must not treat her lightly in the slightest."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Qi was frightened by the anger in Xiao Tong's eyes, and hurriedly half-knelt in response, not daring to say anything else.

Jiang Wumei didn't know that Jiang Yuanzhou had not yet left the house and was stopped by Xiao Tong.

After returning to the bedroom, Jiang Wumei ordered hot water to wash off her haggard makeup.

After changing into a light long skirt, Jiang Wumei leaned on the couch with a soft blanket covering her knees, and took out the account book of the Huo family's guards' expenses to check.

Qingzhi glanced at the wound on his master's body and tried to dissuade him with concern:

"My Lady, you are still injured. Why don't you rest for a couple of days and see me another day?"

Jiang Wumei placed her fingertips on her aching forehead and shook her head.

"Only under the protection of the Huo family's guards can His Highness wake up safely.

The Huo family has been very kind to our Prince's Mansion, so we should settle the accounts as soon as possible and pay the money to the Huo family."

Qingzhi wanted to persuade her again, but seeing the determined look in his mother's eyes, he had to give up.

"Your Highness."

Jiang Wumei had just flipped through two pages when she heard the panicked voice of a maidservant greeting outside the hall.

Looking at the tall figure striding towards her, Jiang Wumei got off the bed and saluted softly:

"Your Highness."

"wave."

Xiao Tong held her with his strong arms and looked at her beautiful face, feeling a sense of pride.

His figure is so beautiful.

Under the gaze of the maids in the hall, Xiao Tong led Jiang Wumei back to the couch. He sat down on the couch with great force, hugged Jiang Wumei to his knees, and whispered softly to her cheek:

"When you see me in the future, you don't have to be polite."

Xiao Tong's voice is low and gentle, giving people the illusion of deep affection and loyalty.

Jiang Wumei was slightly stunned, then readily agreed:

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Although she was smiling, the smile was shallow and did not reach her eyes. Seeing that Niao Niao was just trying to please him, Xiao Tong felt a pain in his heart but quickly cheered up.

He stretched out his big, bony palm and caressed her warm cheek lovingly for a few times. Finally, he met Jiang Wumei's sparkling eyes and leaned over to touch her delicate lips with his lips.

Their lips touched, and Jiang Wumei's pupils shrank slightly. They had not been close for a long time. Xiao Tong's kiss was extremely gentle and patient, almost full of indulgence and heartache, which made Jiang Wumei unable to resist for a moment.

Fortunately, Jiang Wumei was sober enough and suppressed the throbbing in her heart in time. She half opened her eyes and looked soberly at Xiao Tong's intoxicated black eyes.

Xiao Tong was still immersed in the sweetness of Jiang Wumei's softness, but when his eyes met her calm ones, it was as if a bucket of ice water was poured over him, and he lost all interest.

Jiang Wumei had been observing Xiao Tong. When she saw his dark eyes darken, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

After thinking about it for a moment, Jiang Wumei knew what Xiao Tong was unhappy about.

Before their lips parted, Jiang Wumei didn't hesitate, closing her eyes and deepening the kiss.

After countless times of kissing and kissing, Jiang Wumei knew the man in front of her very well.

Know exactly what to do to arouse his greatest interest.

A soft moan escaped from her throat, and tears appeared at the corners of her eyes. Jiang Wumei half-closed her eyes in a dream, and her gaze was completely absorbed in the man's bottomless black eyes.

As she expected, she took the initiative a little and the man in front of her was thrown into disarray. The man who had been gentle just now suddenly became a different person, locking his eyes tightly around her slender waist, as if he wanted to rub her into his body and never separate again.

The oxygen in her chest was becoming increasingly thinner. Jiang Wumei pushed him away breathlessly, and when she looked up, she saw that in Xiao Tong's eyes there was not only intense desire, but also a light that she could not understand.

The depression that had enveloped him just now seemed to be swept away as she took the initiative to kiss him.

"Niao Niao, be my Crown Princess.

Always be with me, I will give you everything you want."

Xiao Tong locked Jiang Wumei in his arms, his whole body full of aggression, but his voice was tender and the words he uttered seemed to be asking for peace.

His words had such an impact that Jiang Wumei's heart stopped beating instantly. The hand on his shoulder curled up and she couldn't help but let out a soft hiss.

Hearing her scream of pain, Xiao Tong woke up from his pleasure. He hurriedly and carefully lifted up her hand. Looking at the annoying gauze on her hand, he annoyed himself for being too hasty.

"Bring the medicine here, I will change it for Niao Niao myself."

Looking at the maid beside him, Xiao Tong's face was filled with gloom.

Qingzhi was also frightened by Xiao Tong's words about the Crown Princess. Looking at the back of her master's hand oozing blood, she hurriedly squatted down and agreed, and ran to get the few bottles of medicine left by Doctor Zhao.
