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

Xiao Tong was very pleased with Jiang Wumei's act of giving him a kiss. He pulled her back into his arms, chasing her lips, sucking and kissing them.

Jiang Wumei's eyes were misty and her red lips were slightly swollen after being kissed by him. She quickly pushed him away to calm her violently unbalanced heartbeat.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing Xiao Tong approaching again, Jiang Wumei quickly raised her hands to support his chest, panting:

"It's time for lunch. I will have lunch with you."

Something under her buttocks was hard and hot. Jiang Wumei was afraid to kiss it again, but the stinky man in front of her got interested and forced himself on her regardless of her body.

Pushing the person away, Jiang Wumei quickly got off his lap and instructed Qingzhi:

"Order the meal to be served."

Qingzhi took the order and left. Jiang Wumei then told the maid to put the account book away before looking at Xiao Tong and asking tentatively:

"Your Highness, my brother just came to visit me today.

I wonder if my brother will be sent out of Beijing again in the future?

I heard from my brother that the journey out of the capital this time was long and he nearly encountered bandits several times along the way. I am a little worried..."

Jiang Wumei opened her pair of sparkling eyes and stared at Xiao Tong without blinking, which made him feel guilty and uneasy. He coughed twice and said:

"I have read your brother's work report. He completed the task assigned by the Ministry of Revenue perfectly, which is enough for him to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Revenue.

Unless something unexpected happens, I won’t leave Beijing again.”

Jiang Wumei's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked surprised:

“If so, that would be best.

My parents only have my brother and I as their children. If anything happens to my brother, I'm afraid my mother will cry herself blind.

I have never asked Your Highness for anything, I only hope that when Your Highness meets my brother in the court, you can take care of him and prevent him from being oppressed by the treacherous people."

Before meeting Jiang Yuanzhou, Jiang Wumei didn't think that the original owner's blood relationship was not worth worrying about too much. As long as she could ensure that she could escape and not implicate the Jiang family, it would be fine.

But after meeting Jiang Yuanzhou and realizing that he always considered the original owner's interests and was only concerned about his sister's happiness, regardless of gains and losses or power, Jiang Wumei felt a pity for him and wanted to help him.

Jiang Wumei never thought that Xiao Tong could help Jiang Yuanzhou in his career. She just hoped that after she specifically said it, this bastard would remember her old friendship of being a cannon fodder and spare Jiang Yuanzhou.

At least, they no longer deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Yuanzhou or secretly sent people to suppress him.

Xiao Tong felt ashamed by the light in Jiang Wumei's eyes. He had a feeling that Niao Niao seemed to know everything he had done to the Jiang family.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Xiao Tong was overwhelmed by regret and remorse, and even his breathing became heavier.

He didn't dare to think too deeply about how Niao Niao, knowing what he had done to the Jiang family, would hate and despise him in her heart.

She was probably disgusted by his touch, but for the sake of the Jiang family and her own life, she had no choice but to pretend to be nice to him.

Or maybe, Niao Niao had already given up and was just maintaining a superficial relationship with him, waiting for her pent-up emotions to explode so that she could divorce him directly, just as Xu Junjun said!

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Tong's heart was filled with the tyranny of destroying everything, and his dark eyes were filled with deep fear.

In a huge mental panic, Xiao Tong suddenly stood up, hugged Jiang Wumei into his arms, and promised in a hoarse voice:

"Niao Niao, don't worry, I will take good care of your family in the future.

Whether it's Jiang Yuanzhou or your parents, I will protect them.

As long as you are willing, I can immediately let Jiang Yuanzhou take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue so that you can always see that he is safe.

As long as you stay by my side, I will agree to whatever you want."

Jiang Wumei was frightened by Xiao Tong's sudden outburst of emotion. Feeling the man's scorching heat and uncontrolled strength, Jiang Wumei quickly gathered her thoughts and said:

"Your Highness is my heaven, the one I will depend on for the rest of my life, how could I leave?

Your Highness, rest assured, as long as Your Highness does not despise me, I will never betray you."

Looking at the thin and narrow waist of the uninjured man on the bracelet, Jiang Wumei suddenly understood Xiao Tong's abnormality.

Could it be that after he woke up, he learned from Zhao Qi about the betrayal of the Chun family and many ministers of the prince's party, which stimulated his spirit and led to his abnormal words and deeds?

A temporary and extraordinary spiritual sustenance for her?

After all, compared to the betrayal of his beloved Bai Yueguang, Xiao Tong felt more at ease because she, the cannon fodder and shield, always stood by him.

Although this reason is far-fetched, it is the most convincing reason Jiang Wumei can find at the moment.

But if this is true, as time goes by, when Xiao Tong ascends the throne, she will become a witness to his most shameful time.

By then, Xiao Tong might lose his temper and throw her into the cold palace to fend for herself!

If it really comes to that, she will be left alone in the cold palace, with no one to turn to for help. She will have no chance of survival.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wumei's heart turned into ice, and her bones were trembling with cold.

She couldn't possibly pin all her hopes on a short-lived attachment to an emperor.

Since ancient times, kings have all been unfaithful, and the imperial family is the most ruthless.

This is the most realistic portrayal of the emperor's harem!

No matter how genuine Xiao Tong's care was at this moment, it could not shake her determination to leave!

After lunch, Xiao Tong hurriedly left the bedroom and went to the study to look through the two lists presented by Zhao Qi.

One of the two lists contained ministers who had betrayed him and defected to the Second Prince's camp.

One part is the court officials who still firmly supported him when his life or death was unknown.

Xiao Tong's eyes swept across the two lists one by one, and finally settled on the three words "Chun Yufeng" at the top of the rebel list.

"Your Highness, Chun Ce... Chun Yurong is almost dying. Before she died, she kept clamoring to see you."

Seeing that his eyes were fixed on the names of the father and son of the Chun family, Zhao Qi stepped forward and reported Chun Yurong's whereabouts.

Last time, Xiao Tong stabbed Chun Yurong in the chest with a sword, killing her completely. But perhaps because of her strong vitality or strong desire to survive, she has been lingering on for the past two days and has not died yet.

Without Xiao Tong's order, Zhao Qi did not dare to touch her, so he had to order people to lock her up in prison and provide her with three meals on time.

But Chun Yurong's injuries were too severe. Without a doctor, it was a miracle that she had survived until today. Seeing that her death was approaching, Zhao Qi thought of her special status to his master and specifically mentioned it today.

Hearing the three words "Chun Yurong", Xiao Tong clenched his fists and his black eyes were filled with endless coldness.

"Want to see me?

It just so happens that I have a debt to settle with her."

In the dark and damp dungeon, it was stuffy and windless.

On both sides of the narrow passage, the wall fire flickered and the elongated shadows of fire looked like ghosts.

Chun Yurong's long skirt was soaked in blood. She leaned against the cold stone wall, enduring waves of severe pain in her chest wound. Her breath was weak and her thoughts were confused.

She couldn't understand why Xiao Tong, whom many imperial doctors had said had no hope of waking up, suddenly woke up.

Why did Xiao Tong kill her with a sword without saying a word to her after waking up?

Could it be that when he was in a coma, he was still aware of the outside world and clearly heard her conversation with Jiang Wumei?

If this was true, she still had a strong excuse. As long as she met Xiao Tong, she could make up a perfect reason to regain his trust.

However, if I did that, my father and younger brother would have to be abandoned.

But for their own lives, what do they matter?
