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

The Great Saint Emperor has passed away!

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Wumei was so scared that she dropped the account book in her hand.

Getting up from the couch, Jiang Wumei repeatedly instructed the people in the mansion to take down the red silk, red lanterns, and everything with red in them, and replace them with white cloth. She also took off her brightly colored dress and put on white mourning clothes.

Just as she was getting ready, someone from the palace came to pick her up.

Seeing that it was Xiao Tong's confidant, Jiang Wumei did not delay and immediately took Qingzhi into the palace.

Inside the palace, important officials who had learned the tragic news had already rushed to the palace. They knelt on the ground and burst into tears as they looked at the Great Saint Emperor who had died on the dragon bed.

Huo Zhengfeng and Huo Qiming were also standing by, having already changed into mourning clothes distributed by the palace, and bowed their heads along with the civil officials.

The Great Saint Emperor passed away suddenly. Although the palace had already prepared mourning clothes, they were not enough, and the clothes that were brought were not uniform in size.

When Huo Zhengfeng and Huo Qiming put them on, their strong chest muscles were exposed. They knelt among the civil officials with tall and imposing manner, standing out like a crane among chickens.

Once the Great Saint Emperor died, Xiao Tong became the real ruler of the Great Saint Dynasty.

After sweeping past the weeping court officials, Xiao Tong ordered a full curfew in the capital, and then arranged the funeral of the Great Saint Emperor with several important officials.

There were many veteran ministers from three dynasties present. With these people around, Xiao Tong's subordinates did not panic. However, the affairs of state and the affairs after the death of the Great Saint Emperor came at the same time. Even though Xiao Tong had great plans, he was still very busy. He was always meeting with ministers in the Yangxin Palace and arranging various matters. He didn't even have time to eat a bite of food.

The Great Saint Emperor had few concubines. Apart from the Queen, there were only a few concubines in the harem.

The queen, no, now she should be called the deposed queen. The deposed queen was imprisoned in the cold palace, and the harem was without a master.

When several concubines saw that the prince had specially sent someone to bring Jiang Wumei into the palace, they immediately understood that the beautiful person in front of them was the queen that His Royal Highness the prince had chosen. They hurriedly tried to build a good relationship with Jiang Wumei in order to ensure a stable future.

So, when Jiang Wumei just entered the palace, she didn't even recognize all the concubines, but she was confused and helped them arrange the affairs of the harem. She was so busy that she was dizzy. It was not until they left in the evening that she finally took a breath and sat down to rest.

Qingzhi felt distressed when she saw this, so as soon as Jiang Wumei had some free time, she asked the palace maid to bring her food.

When the emperor dies, the country mourns for three years.

From now on, Jiang Wumei will remain a vegetarian until she escapes.

The food sent from the palace was not to Jiang Wumei's taste. She ate a little bit of it casually, had it taken away, and then leaned aside to take a nap.

When Jiang Wumei entered the palace, Xiao Tong directly arranged for her to live in Zhongcui Palace, which was exactly what Jiang Wumei wanted.

The book once wrote that after Chun Yurong entered the palace, she first moved into Zhongcui Palace.

There is a little-known secret passage in the Zhongcui Palace. Relying on this secret passage, Chun Yurong used a trick to trip up the most competitive imperial concubine and successfully ascended to the throne of empress.

Now that she has entered the palace, as long as she makes good use of this secret passage, it will be easier for her to escape than from the Prince's Mansion.

However, the book did not specify where the mechanism to open the secret passage was. She would look for it secretly after she was done with her busy schedule.

For the next half month, Xiao Tong was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty and had little time to accompany her.

However, no matter how busy he was every day, Xiao Tong would come to the harem to see her.

Seeing that she was getting thinner and thinner, Xiao Tong waved his hand and threw all the matters directly to the concubines of the previous emperor, which relieved Jiang Wumei of her burden.

It was a busy month. The late emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Tong succeeded to the throne, and Jiang Wumei was canonized as the imperial concubine. This series of events was like waves hitting her head, making Jiang Wumei feel uneasy with ups and downs.

After the succession ceremony, Xiao Tong wanted Jiang Wumei to move to Kunning Palace, but was rejected by Jiang Wumei.

Therefore, Jiang Wumei, who is now the Imperial Noble Consort, still lives in Zhongcui Palace. As for the concubines of the late emperor, they have all moved to Yongshou Palace and live in peace with her without interfering with her.

From the prince's concubine to the imperial concubine, Xiao Tong's preferential treatment of Jiang Wumei made many ministers in the court who had daughters of marriageable age become interested.

However, Jiang Wumei never cared about these things. What she cared about was that it was too troublesome for her to meet Xu Junjun now.

It was not convenient for Xu Junjun to enter the palace, and both of them were not as free as before in the Prince's Mansion.

On this day, Xu Junjun was finally summoned into the palace.

When Jiang Wumei saw her younger sister who had lost a lot of weight, she couldn't help but frown and feel distressed.

But Xu Junjun was extremely excited when she saw her sisters dressed in gorgeous clothes, more adorned with jewels and looking more noble and awe-inspiring than before.

He circled around Jiang Wumei several times, and finally hugged her waist and jumped for joy.

“Ah ...

Sister, you are rich.

Look at the Dongzhu earrings on your ears and the phoenix-tail hairpin in your hair. How much silver will these cost?

Hurry, hurry, take them all off and give them to me. I will pawn them when I leave the palace."

Fortunately, every time the two met, Jiang Wumei would send her attendants away, otherwise Xu Junjun's crazy look would definitely make people beat him up.

"Slow down, slow down, my brain is about to fall apart.

Let go, I'll get you something else."

Patting the back of Xu Junjun's hand, signaling her to let go, Jiang Wumei turned around dazed, walked into the inner room and brought out a rosewood box.

Blinking at Xu Junjun, Jiang Wumei smiled and dropped something into her hand. Xu Junjun's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to open it.

When she saw it, she was almost blinded by the neatly arranged gold ingots inside.

"Wow!

Where did you get so much gold, Niaoniao?!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Junjun stared at Jiang Wumei with wide eyes:

"Didn't you just become the Imperial Concubine?

How did you make so much money?

"Niao Niao, are you abusing your power to oppress others?"

Jiang Wumei glared at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

“Don’t guess randomly, this gold was given to me by several concubines.

Maybe they were worried that I would whisper in Xiao Tong's ear and make life difficult for them.

I had only been in the palace for a few days when these concubines found excuses to reward me with gold one after another, and I couldn't refuse. "

Xu Junjun drooled with envy:

"It seems like the money in the palace is easier to make, Niao Niao. Why don't you strike while the iron is hot and ask them for more?"

"Sister, this is gold, not leaves, how can you just want it if you want it?

What's more, I have the best food, clothing and other necessities in the palace. If I go out of my way to ask for rewards from a few concubines, it will attract attention if Xiao Tong hears about it.

Don't give us any bad advice. The money we have stored is enough to support us."

Pulling Xu Junjun to sit down, Jiang Wumei looked outside, making sure no one could hear, then lowered her voice and said:

"Let's get back to the topic. I summoned you to the palace today because I have good news for you."

Jiang Wumei looked mysterious, and Xu Junjun's curiosity was instantly piqued. She held the rosewood box tightly against her chest and curiously peeked in:

“What’s the good news?

Could it be that you have thought of a way to escape?"
