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

When Jiang Yuanzhou came forward as ordered, there was only a flickering candle in the deserted house.

The man's tall figure was half hidden in the darkness, revealing a sense of loneliness.

Sensing the man's frustrated mood, Jiang Yuanzhou paused for a moment, then regained his composure and stepped into the house.

"emperor."

Jiang Yuanzhou bowed and saluted. The man turned around and stared at Jiang Yuanzhou's face, which looked very similar to Jiang Wumei's. His dark eyes were filled with coldness.

"Jiang Yuanzhou, you are so brave!"

Xiao Tong's voice was like thunder, and all his aura was released, pressing towards Jiang Yuanzhou.

His eyes were like a sharp sword falling on him. Jiang Yuanzhou's palms were slightly wet, and he knelt on the ground with a steady voice:

"I do not know what the emperor is referring to. I hope the emperor will explain it clearly."

Xiao Tong stared at him, flicked his sleeves and said:

"I asked you to meet Niao Niao because I wanted you to persuade her to return to the palace.

I didn't expect that you would be so bold as to help Niao Niao escape.

Jiang Yuanzhou, do you know how to punish the crime of deceiving the emperor? "

Jiang Yuanzhou hit the bottom with his head, as if he had expected today's scene:

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I was so excited to learn that my sister is still alive that I have been bedridden for the past few days. How could I possibly help her escape?

The world is a dangerous place. A few days ago, I learned that my younger sister had left Jiangcheng again. I was very sad and worried. I asked Lord Zhao about her whereabouts many times, for fear that something might have happened to her.

Now that Your Majesty has returned, I intend to ask Your Majesty to send more people to search for him. Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand me."

Xiao Tong sneered:

"Master Jiang is truly gifted with a silver tongue, but are you sure I can't punish you?"

Jiang Yuanzhou knelt more upright and spoke at his normal speed:

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Master Jiang, what else is there to be afraid of?

You knew full well that the outside world was dangerous, yet you allowed the pregnant Niao Niao to take the risk and secretly escape. Turning back to face me, you managed to act calm and oblivious. You are truly my good minister."

Taking two steps forward, Xiao Tong stared at Jiang Yuanzhou's back, his voice cold:

"Jiang Yuanzhou, you should be thankful that you have a good sister.

Otherwise, based on what you have done these days, I will chop off your head!

You'd better pray that Niao Niao and the child are okay, otherwise, I will make you regret everything you have done these days."

After saying that, Xiao Tong strode away, leaving Jiang Yuanzhou kneeling alone in the room.

After a long time, Jiang Yuanzhou slowly stood up, with a solemn and surprised look on his face.

He didn't know that his sister was pregnant. If he had known, he would never have let her take the risk at this moment.

Closing his eyes, Jiang Yuanzhou felt a little regretful, but now his sister and Miss Xu had left Jiangcheng, and it was too late to say anything.

I just hope that Niao Niao and I can find a place to settle down soon so that we can communicate with each other as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine were extremely cautious this time. Neither the Qilin Guards nor the Secret Guards were able to find any trace of them."

After Xiao Tong left, Chen Yu stepped forward and reported in a low voice.

The owner was away, and the corridors of the mansion were as dark as ink.

Xiao Tong stared at the swaying lanterns on the corridor for a few moments, then walked away.

"Keep looking. If you can't find him, you don't have to return to Beijing."

The new emperor's indifferent voice echoed throughout the courtyard. Chen Yu responded in a deep voice and followed him out of Xu's house silently.

When he returned to the inn, Zhao Qi had already received fifty lashes of the cane and was lying on the bed, unable to get up.

Xiao Tong returned to the room, and a secret guard walked in quickly, knelt on one knee and reported the situation:

"Your Majesty, Miss Qingzhi is missing."

Xiao Tong didn't say anything, Chen Yu frowned beside him:

“When did you disappear?

Have you sent anyone to look for him?"

"Miss Qingzhi has been staying in her room since she arrived in Jiangcheng and has not gone out.

On the day the Imperial Noble Consort disappeared, we all went out to track her whereabouts, so there was no one to guard her.

Today, when I opened the door, I found out that Miss Qingzhi had not been seen for many days."

The secret guard recalled the events of the past few days and reported back quickly.

Chen Yu didn't say anything and looked at Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong pressed his eyebrows, his whole body filled with irritation:

“A palace maid, there’s no need to worry too much.

The most important thing now is to find the Imperial Concubine."

"I obey my orders."

Hearing this, the secret guard no longer hesitated, left the room, and continued to look for the imperial concubine.

But no one expected that Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun had not left the city at this time.

Moreover, they were now very close to Xiao Tong, so close that if Xiao Tong just kicked open the door of the same guest room downstairs, he would be able to find the two of them.

At this moment, Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei disguised themselves as a young couple and were checking into the inn.

They knew that with the abilities of the Qilin Guards and the Secret Guards, they knew that the two men had left many traces when they left the city and had been discovered by them.

So, Jiang Wumei did the opposite and directly took advantage of the situation. After disguising herself with Xu Junjun, she and the others swaggered into the inn where everyone was staying.

It turned out that her move was very wise.

The Qilin Guards and the Secret Guards turned Jiangcheng upside down, but they didn't search the inn, and they didn't even find any trace of the two men.

Jiang Wumei didn't even tell Jiang Yuanzhou about staying in the inn, so Xiao Tong couldn't infer their whereabouts from Jiang Yuanzhou's side.

As soon as they entered the room of the inn, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun listened to the complicated movements of the Qilin Guards and the Secret Guards outside, enjoying the secret pleasure of being alone.

But there are always exceptions. When Qingzhi knocked on the door, knelt in front of her door and cried and called her "mom", Jiang Wumei was stunned at that moment.

If Xu Junjun had not been quick enough to pull the people in, the movement of the three people would probably have immediately attracted the Qilin Guards staying in the inn.

"My Lady, please take this servant with you!"

Qingzhi knelt on the ground, looking at his master who had come back to life, and was extremely excited.

She had followed the emperor all the way here from the capital, and had long suspected that her queen was not dead.

She was so excited that she couldn't sleep well in the first two nights after arriving in Jiangcheng. Later, she found that the Qilin Guards were frantically looking for someone. Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat and then quickly sank.

Today, she went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper something. When she passed by this room, she heard a familiar voice. Qingzhi thought she was hallucinating. When she knocked on the door, she found that it was Jiang Wumei. Qingzhi was more happy than surprised, and knelt down without thinking.

Now that they had entered the room, Qingzhi insisted on leaving with Jiang Wumei no matter what.

Whether alive or dead, she will never leave the Empress' side!

Qingzhi's eyes were filled with tears but her expression was firm. Jiang Wumei's face was complicated and she sighed and gave him an admonition:

"I have no plans to return to the palace. If you follow me, you will inevitably suffer hardships in the future.

With your current status, you will surely be able to serve a noble lady in the harem and become a respectable head maid. Why do you have to follow me around and wander around? "

Qingzhi kowtowed to Jiang Wumei, her eyes red, and her words earnestly:

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind. Please allow me to continue serving you."

In the end, Qingzhi stayed with Jiang Wumei.

However, because of the Qilin Guards and Secret Guards who were searching for them everywhere, the three of them could only stay at home temporarily and not go out anymore.

For several days in a row, the three of them were discussing their next plans in the room. On the third night, a black cat suddenly jumped in from the window, scaring the three of them.
