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

The man was tall and strong, standing there, casting a shadow as intimidating as a mountain.

With his scarlet-black eyes staring at him, Zhang Fangping covered his mouth with his hands to hold back the blood that kept flowing out, and kept shrinking back.

“W-Who are you?!

Why do you hit people!

I, I, I warn you, I am the eldest son of the Zhang family in Jiangcheng...

If you dare to touch me again, my father will make you pay for it.

You have to be sensible..."

Before Zhang Fangping could finish his words, he was grabbed by someone, and then with a snap, the furious Xiao Tong broke his neck with one hand.

"Kill all those people outside and throw them all to the wild dogs."

After giving a cold order, Xiao Tong, with red eyes, stepped over Zhang Fangping's body and walked towards the room.

Since arriving in Jiangcheng, Jiang Wumei has become more and more sleepy.

After falling asleep at night, she could not hear any noise from the outside world, so she didn't even know when someone was standing by her bed.

Xiao Tong stood beside the bed, his brows hidden in the darkness, staring greedily at Jiang Wumei's peaceful sleeping face.

All the fatigue from traveling thousands of miles disappeared at this moment.

At this moment, Xiao Tong stood in the house, looking at the eyebrows, eyes and lips that he had copied countless times in his mind after the fire in Zhongcui Palace, smelling the familiar lotus fragrance in the room, and the blood in his body surged, washing over his eardrums with a rumbling sound.

He suddenly remembered how panicked and angry he was when he saw the man throwing poisonous smoke into the window.

He is afraid.

He is afraid.

He couldn't accept that Niao Niao had an accident in front of him again.

Fortunately, he is here.

With piety, Xiao Tong took off his robe, gently got on the bed and held Jiang Wumei in his arms.

Xiao Tong kissed her forehead lovingly as she was warm and soft in his arms, then lowered his big palm gently and softly to her still flat belly.

When he thought that his and Niao Niao's child was born here, the bloodshot in Xiao Tong's eyes faded, leaving only warmth and relief.

Maybe it was because she sensed a familiar scent, but Jiang Wumei’s brows relaxed in her sleep, and she subconsciously moved towards the heat source.

She placed her small hands on the man's broad chest, rubbed her head against his chest, and continued to sleep obediently.

Xiao Tongxin turned into spring water. He lowered his head and kissed her moist lips. His eyes swept from Jiang Wumei's forehead to her chin. After confirming that she had not lost weight, he hugged her soft body and slowly closed his eyes.

Since leaving Beijing, Xiao Tong has been worried about Jiang Wumei all the time and has not had a good night's sleep.

Now, hugging his beloved, Xiao Tong's heart finally settled down, his tense nerves relaxed, and he allowed himself to fall into a deep sleep.

The candlelight flickered, and a man and a woman were sleeping in each other's arms on the bed.

The next day, Jiang Wumei still slept until noon.

However, when she woke up today and smelled the strange yet familiar scent in the bed curtains, Jiang Wumei frowned and called the maid to ask:

"After I fell asleep last night, Junjun came to see me?"

The maid shook her head and replied respectfully:

"After the eldest lady fell asleep, we closed the gate to the courtyard, and the second lady never came over."

Jiang Wumei felt even more strange:

"Have you seen anyone enter or leave my room?"

The maid still shook her head:

"When the servants came to sweep the courtyard, they didn't find anyone else, and you were the only one in the room the whole time."

Waving her hand and letting the maid go, Jiang Wumei pressed her eyebrows, thinking that she might be possessed by a demon.

This is Jiangcheng, how could a stranger enter and leave her room so easily?

She must be pregnant, with hormonal imbalances and problems with her sense of smell.

However, to be on the safe side, we will arrange for a few more servants to patrol tonight for safety.

After sleeping for two hours while holding Jiang Wumei in his arms, Xiao Tong's fatigue was completely gone.

It was still dark, and while the person in his arms was still asleep, he kissed her hair, got out of bed, put on his robe, and left.

This time, he wanted Niao Niao to go back to the palace with him willingly. Meeting her rashly now would only backfire.

He had to wait for an opportunity to appear in front of Niao Niao with justification, so as not to cause her resistance but also to arouse her sympathy.

Perhaps, Jiang Yuanzhou is a good breakthrough point.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tong returned to the inn and called Jiang Yuanzhou into the room.

Along the way, the new emperor's mind was unclear, and he brought the palace maids from Zhongcui Palace with him. The absurd idea in Jiang Yuanzhou's mind became more and more real, almost bursting out. He wanted to ask the new emperor in person whether his sister was still alive.

When the fire in Zhongcui Palace broke out and the tragic news of his sister's death came out, his parents were heartbroken. He was also resentful and had great doubts about the new emperor.

If the new emperor had not been reluctant to bury his sister's body and was determined that she was not dead, Jiang Yuanzhou would have believed that his sister's death was secretly caused by the new emperor.

It was later discovered that the fire in Zhongcui Palace was caused by people sent by Xiao Luoling. He directly submitted a memorial requesting that all the staff of the Princess's Mansion be beaten to death.

The new emperor agreed readily and personally drew his sword to seriously injure Xiao Luoling, thus dispelling his doubts.

However, even so, Jiang Yuanzhou blamed the new emperor in his heart for being useless, unable to even protect the emperor himself, and not worthy of having his sister.

But as a minister, Jiang Yuanzhou concealed everything very well.

At least, Xiao Tong didn't notice his change of mood at all.

Looking at his face that was somewhat similar to Niao Niao, Xiao Tong clenched his fist, lowered his lips, coughed lightly, and said:

"You are familiar with Jiangcheng. I have nothing to do today, so you can show me around."

First, find a way to let Niao Niao meet Jiang Yuanzhou to deepen her ties with the capital, and then plan the opportunity to appear.

Jiang Yuanzhou guessed something, but without asking any more questions, he bowed and responded.

So, after breakfast, Jiang Yuanzhou accompanied Xiao Tong on his first visit to Jiangcheng.

It’s not appropriate to say that they were strolling around. After leaving the inn, Xiao Tong and Jiang Yuanzhou were walking among the crowd at a distance.

The space between the two of them was big enough for at least two Zhao Qis. They were so far apart that if someone didn't know them, they would think they didn't know each other at all.

In fact, the two were not familiar with each other.

On weekdays in the capital, except for attending court, Xiao Tong rarely summoned Jiang Yuanzhou to the palace for questioning.

Therefore, the two monarchs and their ministers were still in a slightly familiar yet unfamiliar relationship.

Seeing Xiao Tong's behavior, Jiang Yuanzhou looked back at him several times. Seeing that the Qilin Guards were surrounding him vigilantly, he simply walked forward.

Not long after, the two of them naturally drifted apart.

Seeing Jiang Yuanzhou walking towards the street where Niao Niao and the others lived, Xiao Tong took a few steps back and asked the Qilin Guards to follow him to the side.

"emperor?

Would you like me to bring Lord Jiang to meet the Imperial Concubine?"

Chen Yu stepped forward and spoke at the right time.

Xiao Tong raised his hand:

"Let them be smart and not be noticed by Niao Niao."

Niao Niao is a very sensitive person. If something is wrong, she will definitely notice it at the first time.

Now that they were in Jiangcheng, he didn't want to create any more rift between them because of trivial matters.

He couldn't bear it for much longer.

"Miss, please slow down. Madam said we are not allowed to run too far."

The maid was trotting behind them, carrying the cakes and gifts. Song Xixi, biting the candy man in her mouth, said incoherently:

"Hurry up, I'm going to the Xu Mansion to play with two beautiful sisters. I won't be able to play for long."

Song Xixi shouted behind her, turned around with a smile, and ran forward quickly.

But she ran too fast and didn't pay attention to her feet. She tripped on a slightly higher stone slab with her right foot. She screamed and fell towards the stone slab while holding the sugar man.

If she was hit hard this time, she would definitely get a big bump on her forehead.

"Miss!"

The maid carrying the cakes screamed and rushed forward quickly.

Seeing that her head was about to hit the stone slab, Song Xixi held the sugar man tightly and closed her eyes in fear.

Just as she was nervously preparing herself for the coming pain, she suddenly felt a force at her waist, and then she was suddenly picked up and stood firmly in her original place.

"Are you okay, miss?"

The man's voice was as mellow and pleasant as the sound of jade and stone colliding with each other. When Song Xixi opened her eyes, she was suddenly stunned.
