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

When Jun Xiaochen came out of the palace, it was already dark.

After returning to the mansion, bathing and changing clothes, Jun Xiaochen called Wei Dong to ask about Xu Junjun's condition.

Wei Dong told Junjun everything about what happened today, and after Jun Xiaochen nodded, he quietly left the room.

Jun Xiaochen had already had dinner in the palace. After listening to Wei Dong’s report, he went directly to the study to deal with things.

The night grew darker and darker, and in the blink of an eye it was midnight again.

Jun Xiaochen put down the last memorial, glanced at the night scene outside the window, and called Wei Dong into the study.

Pinching his brows, Jun Xiaochen asked:

"Where is the doctor?"

Wei Dong bowed and said:

"Master, Doctor Wang is resting in the guest room in the backyard. Would you like me to bring him here?"

Jun Xiaochen hummed:

"Bring him here. I have something to ask him."

Wei Dong took the order and left, quickly bringing Doctor Wang to the study.

At this hour, Doctor Wang had already fallen asleep. When he heard that the prince wanted to see him, he quickly got up from the bed, put on his coat and ran away.

Arriving at the study, Doctor Wang didn't dare to look any further. He quickly walked up to Jun Xiaochen and bowed to him.

"Wei Chen has met the prince."

Jun Xiaochen put down the long fingers that were pressing on his forehead and looked up at Doctor Wang. His amber eyes shone with a strange light in the dark night, making Doctor Wang sweat profusely.

"Is the young lady in the mansion in any serious condition?"

Jun Xiaochen was somewhat concerned about what Xu Junjun said to him last night.

Therefore, after returning home today, Jun Xiaochen learned that Xu Junjun had regained consciousness. He did not go to see her in person, but only learned about the situation from the imperial physician.

"Your Highness, the girl suffered a high fever due to physical stimulation and a cold.

Just take some tonics and rest for half a month, and you'll be fine."

Jun Xiaochen's brows relaxed slightly at Doctor Wang's words, but when he thought of what the old doctor said this morning, he quickly frowned again.

Looking at Doctor Wang again, Jun Xiaochen pointed his long, bony fingers at the table, his eyes calm:

"Besides this, I have another question for you..."

After that night, Xu Junjun really never met Jun Xiaochen again in the mansion.

Although Wei Dong came to see her when her high fever subsided and specifically mentioned that Jun Xiaochen was busy and did not come to see her, Xu Junjun did not take it to heart at all. As soon as she recovered, she devoted herself to the cause of refining medicine again.

On the fifth day after the high fever, Xu Junjun had almost finished refining the medicine. Thinking that he had gained nothing from the previous two days outside the house, he decided to go out again to try.

It just so happens that today is the date written in Niao Niao's letter. If I hadn't been dazzled that day, the person mentioned in Niao Niao's letter would have been waiting for me near the palace.

Thinking of this, Xu Junjun changed into a plain winter dress, braided her long hair into a long whip and hung it in front of her chest, then took the medicine bottle and went to find Weidong to prepare to leave the house.

Weidong has been like a rat in a bellows these days, caught in a dilemma.

Every day when the master came back from the palace, he would ask Miss Xu about her movements and mood, but Miss Xu would turn around and leave as soon as she heard a word from her master. The two bosses were quarreling, and the subordinates were uncomfortable.

Wei Dong, in particular, was deeply troubled by this. Every day when he reported on Miss Xu's affairs, he had to endure the depressing glances from his master, and he was so nervous that he broke out in sweat. He wished that the two would reconcile immediately so that he could live his previous peaceful life.

Hearing that Xu Junjun was about to leave the house again, Wei Dong followed Jun Xiaochen's instructions and called two personal guards to accompany her personally.

Xu Junjun glanced at the two people in front of him, turned around and left the house.

However, unlike the previous few days, today, as soon as the three of them arrived at the mansion gate, they ran into Jun Xiaochen who had returned to the mansion to get something.

Jun Xiaochen had obviously just arrived at the gate of the mansion. He sat tall on his horse with an upright figure. The steed under him raised its hooves and neighed, spewing out puffs of white mist in the cold sun.

When Xu Junjun raised her head, she met Jun Xiaochen's amber eyes. Seeing the man's cold expression, Xu Junjun turned her head away indifferently, not wanting to look at him.

This was the first time the two met while sober since that night, but the situation instantly dropped to freezing point.

The two personal guards following behind Xu Junjun were all stunned when they saw Jun Xiaochen dismounting from his horse. Then they reacted and hurriedly took two steps forward and half-knelt to greet him.

Without waiting for Jun Xiaochen to say anything, Xu Junjun glanced indifferently at the two stone lions at the gate of the mansion, avoiding Jun Xiaochen's direction, as if he was just a stranger he had never met and was not worthy of attention at all.

With almost no pause, Xu Junjun walked down the stone steps, and without waiting for the two guards to catch up, he walked straight forward, his eyes not wavering at all.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaochen's amber eyes sank slightly. He raised his hand and signaled the two half-kneeling guards to follow Xu Junjun.

The two guards understood, saluted Jun Xiaochen again, stood up and quickly followed Xu Junjun.

Looking back at Xu Junjun's slim and graceful figure, Jun Xiaochen paused for a moment, then turned and stepped into the mansion.

He strolled along the main street of the imperial capital, during which he deliberately ordered his personal guards to buy cakes and candies. At the end, Xu Junjun was holding a large bag of steaming cakes and felt that his legs had become thinner.

Feeling pain in the soles of his feet, Xu Junjun pretended to glance casually at the most famous Fanlou on Huangdu Street, stuffed the uneaten cakes in his hands into the arms of his two guards, stretched himself and said:

"I'm tired from walking, let's go have a meal first.

Come with me."

The two guards looked at each other, carried the things and walked into Fanlou with Xu Junjun. Led by the waiter of Fanlou, they went straight up to the private room on the second floor.

Arriving at the private room, the two guards put down their things and said respectfully:

"Miss Xu, please enjoy your meal. The two of us will be waiting outside the box."

After going out of the palace for several days, Xu Junjun had already figured out the personalities of these guards.

Although they will follow and protect me all day, they have a strong sense of hierarchy and will definitely not do something like sitting down and eating with me.

This also gave Xu Junjun an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

The ordered food was delivered quickly, and the two guards closed the door, allowing Xu Junjun to eat quietly in the room.

Xu Junjun took a few bites of food, messed up the dishes on the table, and ran to the window, stuck his head out and looked down.

Fanlou is located in the middle of Tianqi Imperial Capital Street. It has a superior location and there is a constant stream of merchants and common people coming and going.

Xu Junjun opened her eyes wide and looked carefully for half an hour, but did not find anything unusual. Her legs and feet were cold from standing, so she had to return to the table to continue eating.

After taking two more bites, the food was cold and tasteless. Xu Junjun, who had gained nothing, was about to get up and leave, but when she turned around, she was startled by the man standing behind her.

A scream was about to burst out. After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Xu Junjun's eyes narrowed and she screamed:

"Chen Liu! It's really you!"
