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

Looking at his master's heroic figure on horseback, Wei Dong knew that his master wanted him to take care of everything in the mansion.

Wei Dong retracted his gaze and looked at the imperial physician, urging him urgently:

"Please call in Doctor Wang. The girl has a very high fever and we can't delay any longer."

Doctor Wang nodded quickly and walked quickly into the palace with Wei Dong.

Today, Jun Xiaochen arrived at the hall on time for the first time.

Civil and military officials had already lined up and were waiting for the emperor to come out.

Seeing that the Regent arrived so late today, their eyes met and they all wondered if something big had happened in the court again.

The last time the regent came to court so late was to enthrone a new emperor. What was the reason this time?

The court officials looked at Jun Xiaochen's back anxiously, but no one dared to step forward to talk to him or ask any questions.

It was not until the eunuch announced in a loud voice that the emperor had arrived that the ministers came back to their senses and stood in line.

The little emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe sat on the dragon throne, and all the ministers shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.

Seeing Jun Xiaochen standing at the front, a hint of joy appeared on the little emperor's face which was pretending to be stern.

Jun Xiaochen looked up at him, then bowed like the other ministers, his thoughts returning to the state affairs he was about to discuss.

……

Xu Junjun had a nightmare after falling asleep.

In her dream, she was in an endless desert under the scorching sun. The sun was high above her head like a fireball, making her mouth dry and her tongue parched, like a dehydrated fish dying.

My legs, filled with lead, were sinking deep into the gravel, and no matter which direction I went, I couldn't get out of the desert circle.

In the end, a huge swamp-like mouth suddenly appeared in the wind-swept desert, biting her calf tightly and pulling her down.

The sand gradually buried her body, and the strong wind blew her around. No matter how she struggled, she could not escape the fate of being buried alive.

The scalding gravel buried itself from the calves to the waist and then to the chest, finally filling the mouth and nose bit by bit, burning every inch of the skin and causing large blisters.

The pain of rough suffocation squeezed the last breath of oxygen out of Xu Junjun's chest, causing her face to flush and she to shake her head and struggle.

Just when she thought she was going to suffocate to death, she suddenly heard an anxious call from the sky.

"Junjun, Junjun!"

The familiar and gentle voice made Xu Junjun burst into tears even in her nightmares.

Opening his mouth wide, regardless of the pain in his vocal cords from the gravel filling his mouth, Xu Junjun shouted towards the sky:

"Niao Niao, Niao Niao, I'm here!

I’m here! ”

"Miss Xu, Miss Xu?"

Amidst the hoarse shouting, Xu Junjun suddenly heard another urgent voice.

The voice was closer to her ears, as if ringing in her mind, and scared her so much that she opened her eyes instantly.

Xu Junjun looked at the vast expanse of crape myrtle flowers for a few moments. It took her a while to remember that she was in Tianqi, in Jun Xiaochen's Regent Palace.

There was still moisture in the corners of her eyes. When Xu Junjun opened her mouth, she found that her throat was burning with pain as if she had swallowed a knife.

"What time is it?"

The maid helped her up, gave her a cup of warm water to moisten her throat, and whispered:

“It’s already noon.

Miss Xu, we were scared when you had a high fever in the middle of the night.

The prince came to see you personally and called the imperial physician for you before going to court."

After gulping down the water, Xu Junjun's burning throat finally felt better. His whole body felt like it had been run over by a truck and was in pain all over. It was even difficult for him to simply lift a finger to hold the teacup.

Fortunately, the maid who served her was very attentive. After feeding her water with a teacup, she stuffed a soft pillow under her waist and helped her lean against the head of the bed.

His breathing was abnormal and hot. Xu Junjun took his pulse with his fingertips and found that his pulse was characterized by excessive internal heat, qi deficiency and blood dispersion. He knew that it was caused by the trouble he had last night.

After touching her slightly swollen face, Xu Junjun asked the maid to fetch the white jade bottle next to the dressing table, poured out a white pill and swallowed it, then looked at the empty medicine bowl placed on the side.

"You just said the imperial physician came?"

When Xu Junjun asked, the maid nodded hurriedly and poured out everything that happened before Jun Xiaochen went to court.

Xu Junjun listened silently, then pressed his temples which were aching from the vibration, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I'll sleep a little longer. Don't open the door if anyone comes later."

The maid understood the meaning of her words, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

She helped Xu Junjun lie down again and carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt for her. The maid then tiptoed out of the room carrying the empty medicine bowl.

The door creaked shut, and Xu Junjun, who had closed her eyes, gently opened them, staring at the bed curtains with golden crape myrtle flowers above her head in a daze.

After a while, Xu Junjun closed her eyes again, and the room was quiet.

……

Maybe sisters have a tacit understanding.

That night, thousands of miles away in the Great Sage Cloud City, Jiang Wumei, who was sleeping, suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart and woke up abruptly.

Opening her eyes and looking at the room where the candlelight flickered, Jiang Wumei suppressed the inexplicable fear in her heart, sat up, and got out of bed to pour tea.

Qingzhi, who lived next door, heard the noise and came over to check with his coat on. Seeing Jiang Wumei drinking cold tea, he hurried forward to stop her and asked someone to bring in hot water.

"Your Majesty, you and the young master caught a cold a few days ago. Before the Emperor left, he specifically told you not to touch anything cold. Please wait a moment. I'll have someone bring some hot water."

Qingzhi lit the candles in the room one by one. Looking at the bright room, Jiang Wumei touched her chest where her heart was beating faster, feeling uneasy.

"Have Chen Liu and the others sent any message back?"

Qingzhi took out a silver fox cloak and put it on Jiang Wumei's shoulders, and replied in a low voice:

"Not yet, but the last time they sent a message, it reached the Tianqi Imperial Capital. I believe they have managed to contact Miss Xu by now."

Jiang Wumei still felt it was not enough:

"Send a message today and ask them to meet with Junjun as soon as possible to ensure his safety."

Qingzhi knew how much his wife valued Miss Xu, and nodded when she heard this:

"I will deliver the message later.

Your Majesty, last time the Emperor wrote a letter to Tianqi in front of you, warning the Regent of Tianqi not to act rashly against Miss Xu. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much.

As long as the regent receives the letter with the emperor's private seal, he will not dare to harm Miss Xu."

Jiang Wumei closed her eyes, anticipating the difficulties Xu Junjun might encounter in Tianqi. Her heart was like the surface of a lake broken by a stone, rippling in circles and unable to calm down.

"I hope so.

If Jun Jun suffers any harm, I will make Jun Xiaochen pay it back a hundredfold!"
