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

Jun Xiaochen had just rushed out of the platform holding Xu Junjun when a loud noise like the sky collapsing and the earth collapsing came from behind him.

The flames swept up to the sky, and the burned platform came down with a tremendous force.

If Jun Xiaochen had been half a minute later, he and Xu Junjun would have been buried in the fire.

Xu Junjun no longer knew what happened afterwards.

She was carried out of the fire by Jun Xiaochen, and her heart was relieved. Before she could say anything to the little emperor who rushed up to help her, her head tilted and she fainted.

When she opened her eyes again and smelled the familiar scent of medicine, Xu Junjun knew that she had returned to the Regent's Palace.

His shoulder ached fiercely. His dislocated arm had been reattached. Feeling the protests from various parts of his body, Xu Junjun frowned tightly, looked towards the quiet room, and shouted:

"anyone there?"

"Miss Xu."

The two maids who had been guarding the door pushed it open and came in, stepped forward to support Xu Junjun who was standing up, and helped her sit down steadily.

Looking at Xu Junjun with a bandage on her shoulder, the maid couldn't help but choke up:

"You are so unlucky. You just went out for a walk and encountered such a disaster.

When the prince brought you back just now, we servants were terrified, fearing that something bad might happen to you."

What the maid said was true. In the past few months since Xu Junjun came to the mansion, the maids in the courtyard have been gentle and friendly. They always think of the delicious food and fun things. The other maids who didn't have the chance to serve Xu Junjun are so envious.

These maids had never been valued so much by their masters, and they wished Xu Junjun could be their master for life.

Therefore, when the maids who served Xu Junjun saw that she was lively and energetic during the day and was sent back to the courtyard in a disheveled state at night, they were terrified, fearing that something might happen to her.

Xu Junjun had a fractured shoulder bone and large blisters on her body caused by the fire. When the maids boiled water for her to soak and apply medicine, they couldn't stop crying.

Now that she finally woke up, the maids were happy but also sad.

Miss Xu is such a good person, she shouldn't suffer this kind of suffering.

Xu Junjun was not as sad as they were. She touched her bandaged shoulder with her other hand and felt it. After confirming that her shoulder bone was really broken, Xu Junjun felt troubled and sighed:

"This is troublesome. I won't be able to make medicine for the next two or three months."

Refining medicine was Xu Junjun's only pleasure in Apocalypse. Now his only hobby had to stop due to injury. Xu Junjun felt very uncomfortable, with droopy eyebrows and a depressed look.

However, finding joy in adversity was not difficult for Xu Junjun. She quickly adjusted her mood and comforted herself:

"Forget it, just treat it as a vacation for yourself.

You've been working like a beast of burden for too long, so take a good rest in these few months.

Anyway, I have become like this, no one will force me to make medicine anymore."

She had previously prepared enough medicine for the little emperor for four months. Although this incident happened today and caught her off guard, fortunately it would not delay the little emperor's treatment.

Speaking of the little emperor, Xu Junjun looked at the maid with red eyes and asked:

"Is there a young man accompanying me back home today?"

The maid nodded honestly, her voice still a little hoarse:

“Yes, there is a young master who will accompany the prince to take you back to the palace.

At this moment, the young master seems to have not left yet and is discussing something with the prince in the study."

Xu Junjun said "oh", glanced at the bandage on his shoulder, thought for a while, and asked again:

"What time is it?"

"It's almost midnight, Miss Xu, are you hungry?

Or should I ask someone to serve the food?"

Speaking of serving food, the maid remembered that her prince had not eaten yet, so she said something extra:

"After the prince sent you back to your room, he stayed with the doctor to examine your wounds and prescribe medicine. Finally, the servants had to undress you and change the medicine before the prince led the young master away.

The prince and his companions had been gone for less than an hour, and they probably hadn't had their meal yet.

If Miss Xu doesn't mind, I'll go and ask the prince to come and have dinner with you."

Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is of great significance. If Miss Xu agrees to dine with the prince, perhaps the two of them can reconcile.

The maidservant selfishly hoped that Xu Junjun would stay in the Regent's Palace forever, so she couldn't help but say more.

Xu Junjun's thoughts were different from the maid's. Her mind was now filled with the tearful face of the little emperor before he fell into a coma.

At that time, the little emperor must have been frightened. He ignored the obstruction of his personal guards behind him and insisted on rushing towards her and Jun Xiaochen, reaching out to help her down to the ground.

Although she didn't remember what happened afterwards, Xu Junjun was certain that the little emperor really treated her as his sister.

It's a nice feeling to have a brother who cares about you.

Xu Junjun raised her chin towards the maid:

"Send someone to find Jun Xiaochen and the young man who came back with him. Ask him if he has eaten. If not, invite him to have hotpot with me."

Thinking of the words of the guards on the street tonight, Xu Junjun said again:

"Send someone to prepare two small spicy hot pots, one of which should be just a little spicy. Also prepare more vegetables, both meat and vegetables."

After suffering so much tonight, Xu Junjun decided to have a good meal to make up for herself.

The maid finally laughed and hurried downstairs to pass on the message.

Jun Xiaochen sat in the study, looking at the stubborn young man across from him, frowning and repeating:

"Go back to the palace first. After Xu Junjun wakes up, I will send someone to pass on a message to you."

The little emperor did not move. After the dirt on his face was washed away, he revealed a pale face that had rarely seen the sun.

"I won't leave. I want to wait until Sister Xu wakes up before returning to the palace.

Uncle Wang, please let me wait a little longer. As soon as Sister Xu wakes up, I will return to the palace."

After experiencing many ups and downs tonight, the little emperor was exhausted and was holding on with one breath.

Jun Xiaochen had a doctor examine him just now, and knowing that the little emperor was just frightened and had no wounds on his body, Jun Xiaochen let him stay in the mansion for a while.

But as the time was getting later and it would be midnight if they stayed any longer, Jun Xiaochen wanted to send the little emperor back to the palace first and then return home.

Unexpectedly, it was easier to invite the gods than to send them away. The little emperor refused to leave no matter what and was so stubborn that he had to wait for Xu Junjun to wake up.

The big and the small were confronting each other in the study. Jun Xiaochen's face darkened and he was about to say something else when Wei Dong came quickly from outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Xu has woken up. Please come over for dinner."

Jun Xiaochen raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could speak, the little emperor sitting beside him jumped up and said anxiously:

"Lead me the way quickly."

Wei Dong looked at Jun Xiaochen. Jun Xiaochen was silent for a moment, then stood up and said to the little emperor:

“Come with me.

But after dinner, you must immediately return to the palace."

"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Wang."

Seeing that Jun Xiaochen was no longer chasing him away, a hint of joy flashed across the little emperor's face. He quickly responded, strode after Jun Xiaochen, and walked quickly towards Xu Junjun's courtyard.

According to Xu Junjun's instructions, the kitchen had prepared three steaming pots and many delicious dishes and sent them to the octagonal pavilion in Xu Junjun's courtyard.

Xu Junjun had just made hot pot in the yard, and the kitchen followed suit, replicating her dishes from yesterday and adding many more fresh ones.

After the meal was ready, Xu Junjun sucked her shoes and asked the maid to help her put on her coat and dress, then sat in the pavilion to wait for the little emperor to arrive.

The octagonal pavilion in the Regent's Palace is equipped with screens and curtains. Several charcoal fires are lit in the pavilion, and six exquisite and beautiful lanterns are hung, creating a warm and cozy scene.

When the little emperor and Jun Xiaochen arrived, they saw Xu Junjun standing in the pavilion preparing the dipping sauce herself.

"Sister Xu."

Seeing that Xu Junjun was in great shape, the little emperor shouted excitedly and ran over quickly.

Xu Junjun turned around and saw the little emperor. She smiled and waved at him with her right hand.

In the dead of night, the cold wind was raging. Xu Junjun stood in the pavilion. Her smooth and full forehead glowed with a faint red light under the reflection of the exquisite octagonal lantern. With her light red winter skirt, she looked festive and warm.

The little emperor was filled with joy, and rushed over like a calf, hugging Xu Junjun tightly with a look of attachment and joy, without a trace of the solemnity and reserve he had in the palace.

Jun Xiaochen appeared behind the little emperor, glanced at the two smiling people, took a few steps forward, and calmly sat down at the table.

When Xu Junjun saw Jun Xiaochen, her eyes froze. She clearly didn't ask the maid to invite Jun Xiaochen, so why did he come?
