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

Xu Junjun sat upright, looked up and met Jun Xiaochen's inquiring gaze, coughed and said:

"What could I possibly do?

Don't slander my innocence all day long.

Oh my, I have a headache from drinking too much. I need to take a nap. Call me when we get to the palace."

Covering his head, Xu Junjun fell down, his eyes half open and half closed, carefully looking at Jun Xiaochen's expression.

When she saw him looking out of the carriage, she lifted her legs onto the cushions.

Jun Xiaochen's carriage is spacious and comfortable, more than enough for Xu Junjun to lie down.

Occupying most of the seat, with her calves stretched under the window wall to ensure Jun Xiaochen would not lift the curtain, Xu Junjun's heart was pounding, and she closed her eyes to recall the distant glimpse she had just had.

The carriage drove straight into the palace and stopped. Without waiting for Jun Xiaochen to move, Xu Junjun flipped over and sat up, clutching her stomach and said anxiously:

"People have three urgent things. I'm leaving first. You take your time."

Wei Dong watched Xu Junjun jump out of the carriage and leave in a hurry. He turned back and looked at his master who had stepped out of the carriage, confused:

"Master, what's this, Miss Xu?"

Jun Xiaochen stared at Xu Junjun's back and squinted his eyes:

“Send someone to check the middle section of Imperial City Street to see if any great saints have sneaked in.

Also, send someone to follow her closely for the next few days. If she leaves the house, you should hide yourselves and follow her secretly."

Not knowing what happened between the two in the carriage, Wei Dong nodded in agreement and then carefully looked at Jun Xiaochen's expression:

"Master, would you like me to send someone to investigate what happened in the harem today?"

Jun Xiaochen looked at Wei Dong like he was an idiot:

"What do you say?"

Weidong's scalp tightened and he immediately lowered his head:

"I understand. I will make arrangements immediately."

Xu Junjun ran back to the room, closed the door, waited for her heartbeat to calm down, sat down at the table, drank a sip of cold tea, and slowly thought about her next plan.

After returning to the palace, Jun Xiaochen changed his clothes and went to the study.

He worked on matters in the study until midnight, and only when Wei Dong came to remind him that it was late did he press his hand against his brow and put down the memorial.

Ever since it was confirmed that the little emperor was poisoned, the burden on Jun Xiaochen's shoulders became heavier. He handled government affairs until late at night every day, and worked at a high intensity for three or four months in a row. Even someone as strong as Jun Xiaochen felt exhausted.

"What's the news from the palace?"

Today, Xu Junjun was brought into the harem, which touched Jun Xiaochen's forbidden area. After the matter is investigated, he will definitely teach this restless person a lesson.

Wei Dong bowed and replied with an ugly expression:

“My Lord, I have checked it out.

Our people sent word out that night that the palace maid was preparing to take Miss Xu to the cold palace on the orders of the Empress Dowager.

There are several men with serious illnesses waiting in the cold palace. If Miss Xu really believed the palace maid and followed her to the cold palace, I'm afraid she would not be able to escape today."

Jun Xiaochen raised his amber eyes and looked at Wei Dong:

“Send someone to deal with those men.

Let’s talk about the palace maid.”

Wei Dong nodded:

"It's strange to say that after the maid returned to the palace, she didn't immediately report to the Queen Mother. Instead, she went back to her room to change her clothes and dress up before reporting back.

I wonder how that maid explained to the Queen Mother. Even though she didn't take Miss Xu to the cold palace, the Queen Mother didn't get angry and punish her.

Jun Xiaochen placed his long fingers on the table, tapping it lightly from time to time, his eyes fixed:

"Send someone to keep a close eye on that palace maid, and report any abnormalities immediately.

Also, have someone tell the Imperial Hospital that the Empress Dowager is not feeling well and must rest in the harem for three months without permission."

Wei Dong was startled and looked up suddenly:

"master.

There are already ministers in the court who question your excessive power. If you place the Queen Mother under house arrest, I'm afraid there will be new voices of dissent in the court."

Jun Xiaochen looked arrogant and scornful:

"Just follow my orders and ignore the rest."

Since he became the regent of the Apocalypse, he was not afraid of any rumors.

Jun Xiaochen didn't take the words of a few civil officials seriously.

Wei Dong hesitated for a moment, but when he thought about the matter involving Miss Xu, he finally shut up.

Wei Dong went to arrange contact with the informant in the palace. Jun Xiaochen picked up the memorial again, looked at it for a few seconds, then stood up and left the study.

The sight of the Imperial City Street today made Xu Junjun's heart surge with emotion and he couldn't sleep at all.

After dinner, I took a shower, changed into pajamas, and lay on the bed, looking at the exquisitely patterned bed curtains, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep.

In the end, he simply sat up, put on his coat, sat down at the table and started writing a letter.

Jun Xiaochen arrived at Xu Junjun's yard and found her room brightly lit with candles.

After waving away the maid who was about to greet him, Jun Xiaochen kicked open the door and walked straight in.

Xu Junjun was concentrating on writing a letter when the door creaked, startling her.

Looking up, he saw Jun Xiaochen with a cold expression appear in front of him. Xu Junjun put down his pen, took out the letter paper with amazing speed and put it in his arms.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Glancing at the time, she saw that it was already past midnight. Xu Junjun instinctively felt that Jun Xiaochen was going to cause trouble for her, so she gathered her coat, stood up, and looked him in the eye.

Glancing at Xu Junjun's heaving chest and the protruding corner of the letter paper, Jun Xiaochen got straight to the point:

"What did you do to that maid in the palace today?

Or, what threats did you make her use to help you conceal the truth from the Queen Mother?"

Xu Junjun's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Jun Xiaochen to find out the truth so quickly.

Sitting back at the table, Xu Junjun looked down at her round nails and pretended to be relaxed:

"What can I do to her? I can only feed her a pill and ask her to behave herself and stop helping the Queen Mother do evil."

Jun Xiaochen glanced at her and warned:

"The Queen Mother is not as simple as you think. If you want to use a palace maid to deal with her, it is simply wishful thinking."

Xu Junjun folded his arms and snorted coldly:

"Then what's the regent's plan?

Do you want me to be a lamb to be slaughtered and let you, Empress Dowager Tianqi, manipulate me?

If the Regent has this idea, I will disappoint you.

I, Xu Junjun, have always been vindictive. If anyone harms me, I will repay him tenfold, even your Empress Dowager Tianqi is no exception.

If the Regent is worried that I'll get into trouble and offend someone, it would be best to tie me up in the palace and not let me leave."

Xu Junjun's mouth was full of sharp thorns, which made Jun Xiaochen's brows darken. He knew that this woman would not give in with her words.

I just said one sentence and she retorted five or six sentences in a row. If I really scolded her, she would be furious.

But considering her life, Jun Xiaochen had to speak again:

"This prince is reminding you not to be too clever. Your little tricks are really not enough in the eyes of the Queen Mother who has been immersed in the harem for many years.

Don't forget, your life belongs to me.

If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me and let me handle it. Don't be reckless and act rashly."

Xu Junjun smiled with a fake smile and sneered:

"You are so arrogant, Prince Regent. If you can handle anything, why are you asking me to treat your emperor?

If you have the ability, just let your people cure the emperor.

They are all good at bragging, but when it comes to reality, they are all weaker than the other.

Don't act so arrogant in front of me, or I'll kick you out!"

Jun Xiaochen suddenly felt like he had encountered a hedgehog and didn't know where to start.

When facing Xu Junjun, Jun Xiaochen, who could not hit or scold her, and no one dared to disobey him on normal days, suddenly became angry.
