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

Jun Xiaochen's expression was indifferent:

"This king never celebrates his birthday."

Xu Junjun glanced sideways at the little emperor who carefully took out a bowl of longevity noodles from the food box, her expression indescribable.

Well, besides her, Jun Xiaochen is going to offend someone again.

The kid in front of him is a high-ranking official after all. Others personally cook noodles for Jun Xiaochen, but he doesn't appreciate it. He is really heartless.

This ice-cold man, don’t make me cry later.

The little emperor brought the bowl of noodles to Jun Xiaochen, looking embarrassed:

"Uncle Wang, I wish you a happy birthday.

Noodles, noodles are clumping...

Please don't despise me."

Under the little emperor's expectant gaze, Jun Xiaochen lowered his eyes, glanced at the jade bowl in his hand, and said indifferently:

“Your Majesty, you don’t need to do this.

Please sit down and let Xu Junjun take a look at your body."

Jun Xiaochen's aloof attitude quickly extinguished the light in the little emperor's eyes.

Xu Junjun couldn't bear to see the little emperor so frustrated, so she snatched the noodles from his hand and sat aside.

"It just so happens that I'm hungry. If he doesn't eat, I'll eat. Thank you, little emperor."

The noodles had been left out for too long and had clumped together, so the taste was indeed not good. However, because of the little emperor's thoughtfulness, Xu Junjun ate it with great relish.

The little emperor's dark eyes immediately lit up. He stared at Xu Junjun happily and asked in a low voice:

"Sister Xu, is it delicious?"

Xu Junjun swallowed a mouthful of noodles and nodded politely:

“Not bad, not bad, delicious.

It's dry, and a bit choking. Quickly pour me a cup of tea."

After drinking the tea poured by the little emperor himself, Xu Junjun ate a few more mouthfuls of noodles. He felt really full, so he put it aside, touched his stomach and waved his hand:

"No, no, I ate too much at the palace banquet just now, and now I really can't eat anymore."

Glancing at Jun Xiaochen's icy face, Xu Junjun patted the little emperor's shoulder and pointed to the side:

"Okay, I've eaten the noodles.

"Little Emperor, please sit down and let me feel your pulse."

The little emperor nodded obediently, his wish fulfilled, sat on the chair next to Xu Junjun, and stretched out his wrist.

Xu Junjun placed three fingers on the little emperor's pulse, concentrated for a moment, then released her fingers and looked at Jun Xiaochen:

"Okay, finished reading."

Xu Junjun's face was calm, but Jun Xiaochen sensed a hint of heaviness in her slightly frowned brow.

The little emperor wanted to ask, but seeing that Uncle Wang and Sister Xu looked calm, he thought that he was fine and did not ask any more questions.

A quarter of an hour later, Jun Xiaochen and Xu Junjun walked out of the Yangxin Palace one after another.

After leaving the little emperor's sight, Xu Junjun fell visibly silent.

Jun Xiaochen glanced at the unusually quiet Xu Junjun, and his long eyebrows tightened.

"Jun Xiaochen, is there anything else you want me to come into the palace for?

If not, I want to leave the palace."

The palace has never been a good place, and today's pulse diagnosis of the little emperor further confirmed this.

Xu Junjun is in an unprecedentedly bad mood.

Jun Xiaochen hummed, and just as he was about to speak, a young eunuch hurried over from a distance, bowed deeply to Jun Xiaochen, and said respectfully:

"Your Excellency the Regent, the Queen Mother invites you."

Jun Xiaochen frowned, and glanced sideways at Xu Junjun who was blinking at him:

"You go with Weidong to the palace banquet and wait for me. I will be back soon."

Xu Junjun nodded, and all the liveliness and antics she had when she entered the palace disappeared. She didn't even ask when Jun Xiaochen would come back. She followed Wei Dong and the eunuch who led the way out dejectedly.

Back at the palace banquet, Xu Junjun sat back at the table. Thinking of the child holding the bowl of noodles with clear eyes, she felt a tightness in her chest.

If Niao Niao brought An'er back to the palace and struggled to survive in the harem, would their final fate as that of the young Emperor Tianqi be short-lived and premature?

Pursing her lips, Xu Junjun took the wine jug and wine glass that Jun Xiaochen had moved away and started drinking one glass after another.

After just five or six cups, a palace maid came to Xu Junjun's side and bent down to report:

"Miss Xu, the Regent invites you to the harem."

Xu Junjun was still conscious and asked cautiously:

"Why did he ask me to go to the harem?"

The palace maid shook her head respectfully:

"I don't know. Miss Xu, please leave as soon as possible and don't keep the Regent anxious."

Throwing down the wine glass, Xu Junjun stood up impatiently:

"Let's go, let's go, I want to see what Jun Xiaochen is going to do next!"

As the palace maid walked out of the palace banquet, Xu Junjun was not surprised to see Wei Dong, who was acting as the gatekeeper, outside the palace.

"Miss Xu, what are you doing?"

Xu Junjun pointed to a palace maid on the side:

"She said Jun Xiaochen asked me to go to the harem."

Wei Dong was stunned and hesitated:

"What does the master want you to do in the harem?"

Xu Junjun curled her lips:

"How should I know? Just go over and take a look."

As he spoke, Xu Junjun raised his head towards Wei Dong:

"You come with me."

Before Wei Dong could speak, the palace maid spoke:

"Miss Xu, outsiders are not allowed to enter the harem. This gentleman cannot enter."

Weidong was also in a dilemma:

"Miss Xu, I cannot enter the harem."

Xu Junjun glanced at the palace maid with a half-smile and said to Wei Dong:

"Okay, you wait here for Jun Xiaochen and me. I want to see what these monsters are up to."

Wei Dong felt something was wrong and stepped forward and said:

"Miss Xu, how about I send someone to the harem to inquire about the situation?"

Xu Junjun looked him up and down:

"Why, you have connections in the harem too?"

Weidong was silent.

The master did have secret agents in the harem, but it was impossible for him to openly send someone into the harem to inquire about the situation.

Miss Xu's question really stumped him.

"Okay, just stay here. I'm leaving now."

After patting Wei Dong's shoulder, which made him stiffen, Xu Junjun left leisurely with the palace maid.

The two entered the harem and walked through the imperial garden all the way to the depths of the harem.

Passing by the imperial garden, Xu Junjun casually plucked two green leaves and looked at the palace maid in front of her who was walking hurriedly with her head down, a dark light crept into her eyes.

A team of patrolling guards marched past the two of them. Xu Junjun saw that there was no one around, and when he turned a corner, he suddenly slashed the back of the palace maid's neck with a knife.

Catching the palace maid's limp body, Xu Junjun kicked open a door and dragged her in like a dead dog.

The palace maid opened her eyes and found herself tied up and firmly fastened to a chair. Her eyes widened instantly and she began to struggle with sobs.

Xu Junjun took out an apple, sat opposite the palace maid and started to chew it. After the palace maid had struggled enough, he leisurely stood up, took two steps forward and tore the cloth from her mouth.

"Shhh."

The maid was shaking and about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Junjun raising her index finger:

“When you were unconscious, I kindly fed you a poison pill.

The poison will take effect in about half an hour, so we must hurry. After all, time is life now and cannot be wasted."

The palace maid trembled even more violently, tears streaming down her face as she looked at the evil-looking woman in front of her.

The apple in her hand was gnawed until only the core was left. Xu Junjun threw it back casually, sat down opposite the palace maid with a stern smile:

"Tell me, how did that old bitch, the Queen Mother, let you deal with me?"
