The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 99 Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Junjun blackmails
As soon as Jiang Wumei left, Huo Qiming looked at the corpse in the coffin, collapsed on the ground, covering his face with his hands, full of regret.
He, he didn't know that Xu Junjun had feelings for him.
No wonder she has never had any contact with the Xu family since they got married.
No wonder she felt so disgusted every time she saw herself.
She was extremely disappointed in him and turned love into hate!
If he had known this would happen, he would never have married her and hurt her to such an extent.
Now, it's too late...
She strode out of the mourning hall. As the cold wind blew outside the courtyard, Jiang Wumei's anger gradually subsided.
What I just said was half true and half false.
Jiang Wumei combined the information in the book and came up with the most favorable statement for Xu Junjun.
She had only one purpose in coming to the Huo Mansion today, which was to identify whether the body was Xu Junjun, and to vent her anger!
But now, although she was angry, Jiang Wumei still felt sorry for Xu Junjun and felt sorry for herself.
After calming down, Jiang Wumei wanted to ask a maid outside the courtyard to lead the way to the front hall, but when she turned around, she saw the figures of Xiao Tong and the other two under the dim light in the corner corridor.
When leaving the palace today, Xiao Tong wore a green robe to neutralize his overly majestic aura of superiority.
The man stood with his hands behind his back under the curved corridor facing the water in the Huo Mansion, looking at her from afar. This made Jiang Wumei feel that no matter what happened in the world, he would still wait for her.
Shaking her head to get rid of this absurd idea, Jiang Wumei sneered at her own wishful thinking.
In this world, even someone of Huo Qiming's status and position could not escape the bewitching influence of women, let alone Xiao Tong, who was already the emperor.
Beauty fades with time, and the king's love fades in an instant.
If she really put her feelings on him, her fate would be even worse than the dismembered body in the coffin today.
Yes, Jiang Wumei was sure that she was not Xu Junjun the first time she saw the dismembered body.
But in order to deceive Xiao Tong and the Huo family, he had to pretend to be heartbroken and attack Huo Qiming.
However, when Jiang Wumei learned that Huo Qiming did not rescue Xu Junjun immediately when she was in danger, she already had thoughts of revenge.
What she said just now was just the first big gift she gave to Huo Qiming.
After she returns to the palace, she will give him a second heart-wrenching gift, which will surely make him regret his decision!
"Niao Niao, come to me."
He saw Jiang Wumei standing in the endless darkness, looking at him from afar, but without moving.
Xiao Tong suddenly felt a sense of crisis and strode towards her.
He stepped forward and held her cold little hand tightly. Looking at her red eyes, Xiao Tong felt a pang in his heart. His dark eyes swept coldly over Huo Zhengfeng and his wife.
"I and the Imperial Noble Consort will return to the palace first.
Regarding Madam Huo's matter, I hope General Huo will give the Xu family an explanation as soon as possible."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Tong took Jiang Wumei's hand and strode away, leaving the Huo couple standing there looking at each other in confusion.
……
Xu Junjun didn't know that her sisters went to the Huo Mansion overnight to vent her anger.
After coming down from the mountain, only three or four people were left to protect the man in front of others. She sent the rest into the dark, and then she led the group towards the place where she had agreed with Niao Niao.
Not knowing where these people behind him came from, Xu Junjun was more cautious. Before reaching the agreed location, he just found an inn to stay in.
He asked these people to change into normal clothes and bought two new sets of clothes and medicine for himself.
After taking a shower, changing her dressings and putting on a light purple dress in the guest room, Xu Junjun went to the unconscious man's room to take his pulse.
The poison has been eliminated, but the remaining poison has not been cleared.
Xu Junjun pondered the man's recovery, leaned over to rewrite two prescriptions, handed them to the person behind him, and frowned.
"Do you have enough silver?
These two prescriptions are used to strengthen your master's body and replenish his vital energy. The herbs in them are very expensive and any one of them cannot be missing.
See if you can catch him back."
Wei Dong, who had changed into a normal black robe, took the prescription with both hands, glanced at Xu Junjun and clasped his fists:
"Don't worry, Doctor. We have enough money on us to take care of the master."
Waving her hand, she asked Weidong to go get the medicine first. Remembering the banknotes she had left outside the house, Xu Junjun put on her veil and asked two people to go with her to get the things.
After taking the banknote back and quietly leaving a mark at the agreed location, Xu Junjun got some medicine for himself on the way back to the inn.
When Weidong returned to the inn, he had already prepared the medicine and was personally watching over the boiling of the medicine in the kitchen.
Xu Junjun was not polite either. He threw the medicine bag in his hand to Wei Dong's subordinate, asked him to help boil the medicine, and went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
After a night of tossing and turning, Xu Junjun's injuries worsened, so he continued to have a good sleep to replenish his energy.
Xu Junjun slept until Weidong knocked on the door to deliver medicine, and then she got up from the bed.
After drinking the medicine and handing the empty bowl to Weidong, Xu Junjun put on her newly bought silver-white cloak, rubbed her sore and achy eyes, and said:
"According to the prescription I prescribed today, the remaining poison in your master's body will be cleared after drinking it for another three days.
Tomorrow, we will go our separate ways."
Yawning, Xu Junjun told her about her arrangements.
Weidong hesitated:
"Miracle doctor..."
"Call me Miss Xu."
Xu Junjun got goosebumps all over her body when she heard this and started to correct him.
Wei Dong paused for a second and spoke quickly:
"Miss Xu, is my master really all right from the poison?
Otherwise, could you stay with us for a few more days to see if there is any hidden poison in my master's body that has not yet taken effect?"
Seeing Xu Junjun's unhappy expression, Wei Dong remembered what his subordinates had just reported and immediately said:
"Don't worry, I won't waste your time.
As long as you stay with the master for one day, we will give you 500 taels of medical fee, and 1,000 taels for two days.
What do you think? "
Although the medical fee of five hundred taels a day is expensive, Wei Dong is willing to spend it for the safety of his master.
Xu Junjun raised her eyebrows, clearly interested:
"Five hundred taels a day? One thousand taels a day.
You guys are really generous.”
Xu Junjun rolled her eyes, her heart racing.
The group of people she met last night had unknown origins and intentions, but judging by the way they dressed and behaved, she was sure that they were definitely not ordinary officials or wealthy businessmen.
Especially the unconscious man, who was dressed luxuriously, had outstanding looks, and a strong body. It was obvious that he had practiced martial arts for many years and came from a wealthy family.
Such people either grew up in a family of military generals or were born in a duke's or marquis' mansion fraught with danger.
She had just jumped out of the cage of the Huo family, but she didn't want to get entangled with people of this status and get involved again.
But the consultation fee of five hundred taels a day was really tempting. If she didn't take the opportunity to make some money, she would not be Xu Junjun.
With a cough, Xu Junjun silently raised a finger and bargained:
“Five hundred taels a day is not suitable for my status.
If you really want to, I'll give you one thousand taels a day.
But don't worry, within three days at most I'll be able to confirm whether there's any residual poison in your master's body, so I won't be able to take your money for the fourth day."
Wei Dong thought it was a good deal to buy his master's safety with three thousand taels of silver. He nodded quickly and took out three thousand taels of silver notes from his pocket and presented them with both hands.
"Master, please help Miss Xu."
Xu Junjun accepted the banknote and smiled brightly, baring his white teeth and saying:
"With money, everything is easy.
Now go back and look after your master. I'm going to go back to sleep."
After sending Weidong away, Xu Junjun lay back on the bed and took out all the banknotes and counted them again.
After getting a very impressive figure, Xu Junjun smiled like a rat stealing some meat. In her dreams, she thought of the carefree life she would have with Jiang Wumei in the future. She was so happy that she laughed out loud with her eyes closed.
