As soon as the little emperor gave the order, the imperial chef used all his skills to prepare this damn hot pot. He listed all the dishes that could be boiled in the imperial kitchen and picked out twenty-eight to send out.

When the three hot pots were delivered, Xu Junjun was amazed at the dazzling array of dishes:

"Oh my god, the palace is still the best. Apart from anything else, the food and clothing are simply superb."

The little emperor immediately responded:

"If Sister Xu likes it, would you like to stay in the palace for a few days?"

Xu Junjun shook her head like a rattle and politely refused:

"Thank you for the invitation. I have to keep one eye open to keep watch even if I don't want to sleep."

Jun Xiaochen came to the rescue:

“She doesn’t know martial arts, and she will definitely suffer if she falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives in the palace.

If Your Majesty truly cares for her, he should understand that she is only safe in this palace."

The little emperor stopped talking in anger, and then smiled again after a moment:

"It doesn't matter if Sister Xu can't enter the palace. Uncle Wang has already returned to the imperial capital. If I want to see Sister Xu, I can ask Uncle Wang to take me out of the palace."

Jun Xiaochen and Xu Junjun looked at each other and finally decided not to spoil the fun.

The three of them had a very pleasant lunch together. Xu Junjun ate so much that her stomach was full without her noticing, and she couldn't fit in another bite.

The little emperor also ate with relish. During the meal, he saw that Xu Junjun particularly liked a dish of jade shrimp, so he generously gave away his share.

Xu Junjun never knew what politeness meant, so she accepted it all with a smile and swallowed it all.

Jun Xiaochen was the most restrained and put down his chopsticks when he felt full.

He doesn't care about food, so these things are dispensable.

If Xu Junjun hadn't been with the little emperor, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to eat this thing.

After having tea and a meal, the three of them sat for a while, and then Jun Xiaochen led the little emperor away.

Xu Junjun was very full, so as soon as the two of them left, she took people for a walk to help digest the food.

Xu Junjun was very self-aware and didn't want to cause trouble. He walked and stopped within the range that Jun Xiaochen said, and went back to the hall to continue waiting when he felt it was about time. He was so obedient and calm throughout the whole process, as if he had become a different person.

However, Xu Junjun's trip was obviously not in vain.

Not long after returning to the palace, the palace maid who served tea came in and brought her a note.

Xu Junjun leaned back and opened it with great interest, looking at the four words "Be careful Queen Mother" on it, and curled her lips.

It seems that it was right not to kill that palace maid.

Although she couldn't help deal with the Queen Mother, she was still useful as an eye.

Just treat it as a monitoring and early warning system.

However, what does the Queen Mother, the Black Widow, want to do?

Could it be that she dares to fight Jun Xiaochen head-on in the imperial capital?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Junjun put the note on the candle flame and burned it, preparing to mention it to Jun Xiaochen when she met him later.

After all, the two of them are in the same boat.

Black ashes fell to the ground. Xu Junjun stepped on them and leaned back in his chair to continue drinking tea.

She didn't want to get involved in what happened between Jun Xiaochen and the Black Widow. No matter how they fought, it had nothing to do with her.

Jun Xiaochen and the little emperor stayed in the imperial study for a full three hours, and Xu Junjun was almost bored to death in the palace.

Waving goodbye to the little emperor in the afterglow of the setting sun, Xu Junjun followed Jun Xiaochen along the palace wall and walked out, looking at the red walls and green tiles and sighing:

"I won't be able to see this guy again. I hope he lives a long life."

Xu Junjun has no younger brother, and the little emperor's dependence and trust in her fills this emotional gap.

Xu Junjun really hopes that this kind-hearted child will have a good life in the future.

Jun Xiaochen's thoughts were on the political affairs of the court. Xu Junjun's words made his already frowned brows tighten even more.

"You will be staying in Tianqi for a while, why can't you meet the emperor?"

Jun Xiaochen could sense Xu Junjun's genuine concern for the young emperor, and he believed that Xu Junjun would be happy to enter the palace during her remaining time in the imperial capital.

Hearing this, Jun Xiaochen always felt that Xu Junjun was foreshadowing something.

Xu Junjun laughed a few times, but sighed softly:

“The more I see, the more I care.

I am destined not to stay in Tianqi for long, so why should I have too much contact with him and leave this child with regrets? "

Jun Xiaochen disagrees:

“How do you know it’s regret?

The emperor treats you like his own sister. If he knew that you would be leaving soon, he would definitely hope to spend more time with you.

It's a pity that you avoid him like this."

Having said this, Jun Xiaochen paused for a moment, and then spoke again in a tone that almost analyzed his inner thoughts:

"And, if you want, you can always live in Apocalypse.

Whether it is the king, the emperor, or you, we are all happy to do so."

Jun Xiaochen swallowed the words "I've been longing for it" and changed his words. He kept his eyes fixed on Xu Junjun, vaguely expecting her response.

Clouds rolled in the sky, and orange-gold light spread across the sky, creating a picture scroll spanning thousands of miles.

Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen were walking side by side. When they heard this, their eyes moved slightly, and they were surprised and amused.

Looking up at the tall and strong man beside her, Xu Junjun pursed her lips, and a smile as light as a chrysanthemum appeared on her lips, a calm look that Jun Xiaochen had never seen before.

“No, Apocalypse is not my favorite.

As long as Niao Niao is with the Great Sage, I will definitely return."

Jun Xiaochen's amber eyes flashed with disappointment, but Xu Junjun didn't notice it.

Recalling the information from the past investigation, Jun Xiaochen said again:

“As far as I know, you and the Imperial Concubine of the Great Saint Dynasty are not sisters.

Why do you think she is so important?"

Jun Xiaochen did not understand or empathize with this fearless spirit of disregarding one's own life and death just to ensure the survival of the other person.

Xu Junjun curled her lips, seeming to smile and sigh:

"Because our souls are of the same frequency and have the same belonging.

For me, Niaoniao is not afraid of life or death.

The same goes for me. For her safety, I will not be afraid of any difficulties or obstacles.

Our biggest dream in life is to live a simple and happy life with each other."

It’s a pity that I don’t know if these can be realized after returning to the Great Sage.

Looking lonely, Xu Junjun looked at the colorful clouds in the sky, a hint of worry appearing on his face.

Jun Xiaochen stared at Xu Junjun without saying a word. He understood that Xu Junjun was not just talking.

As early as that year, when the Great Sage's blazing fire swept across the river, the two of them had already told him the answer through their actions.

That kind of strong and passionate brotherly and sisterly love is something Jun Xiaochen has never had.

He will never understand whether this kind of feeling is a gift from God or a burden in life.

On the carriage back to the palace, both of them had their own thoughts and did not talk anymore.

As soon as he returned home, Xu Junjun said hello to Jun Xiaochen and then hurried back to his yard to fiddle with the medicinal herbs.

Jun Xiaochen went to the study and summoned his personal guards to inquire about the situation.
