The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 232 Latent Danger
Although Wei Dong has left, Jun Xiaochen still has many talented people around him.
After listening to the guard's truthful report, Jun Xiaochen became interested.
"Oh?
Are you saying that another strange Qilin Guard has arrived in the Imperial Capital?"
The guard bowed and reported:
“Yes, Master.
This man is very good at martial arts. The personal guard who followed Miss Xu out of the house yesterday was hiding opposite Fanlou and was almost discovered and caught up by him.
If the brothers hadn't dodged quickly, we would have run into him on the spot.
Moreover, it seems that this person's status is higher than Chen Liu and others.
Chen Liuyi and other Qilin Guards all obey his orders."
Jun Xiaochen tapped the table lightly with his long fingers. Before he could speak, his personal guard asked cautiously:
"Master, would you like me to take someone to carefully investigate this person's identity?
Let's see what this person wants to do with the Great Sage."
Jun Xiaochen hummed and reminded:
“If my prediction is correct, this person should be Chen Yu, the commander of the Great Saint Qilin Guard.
Send people to keep an eye on them, and if anyone dares to do anything wrong in Tianqi territory, kill them immediately."
Xu Junjun is one thing, and the Great Sage Qilin Guard is another.
If this person uses the name of Xu Junjun to do evil in Tianqi, Jun Xiaochen will not let him go.
The personal guard bowed solemnly and responded, then took the order and went down to make the arrangements.
In the next few days, the palace became quiet and Jun Xiaochen came back earlier and earlier every day.
On two occasions, he waited for Xu Junjun to have meals together.
It’s not that Xu Junjun doesn’t feel that Jun Xiaochen has something special about her, it would be a lie to say that she doesn’t feel that.
After all, Jun Xiaochen is really an awesome man with good looks and great figures. Putting aside the bad things he did in the past, he simply suits Xu Junjun's aesthetic taste.
If it were modern times, with that face of his, he could have debuted and become a big star without any makeup.
Unfortunately, Xu Junjun was too clear-headed.
Know what you can touch and what you can't touch.
Jun Xiaochen is not like those young men in Tingfengyuan who can just take a nap and leave.
Xu Junjun didn't want to get into trouble, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be blind, trying to get away with it.
Anyway, there are plenty of men in the world.
There is Tianqi, and there is even more from the Great Sage.
If you miss Jun Xiaochen, there will be another handsome man waiting for you at the intersection.
Xu Junjun can take it or leave it, and once she has said something, she will let it go.
Jun Xiaochen noticed Xu Junjun's evasive resistance these days, but he didn't care.
His principle is, if you take a step back, I will take ten steps forward.
Xu Junjun's brief retreat did not affect his mentality at all.
On the contrary, the more Xu Junjun tried to stay away from him, the more he would forcefully move closer to her, making it impossible for her to ignore him.
This secretive yet resolute attacking stance is the true face of the one who overpowers the Tianqi Dynasty's ruler, Jun Xiaochen.
In a blink of an eye, eight days had passed since Weidong left.
According to what Jun Xiaochen said, it would take at most two or three days to return to the imperial capital.
Xu Junjun calculated the time, bound the more than one hundred prescriptions he had compiled into a book, arranged everything and waited for him to bring the person back.
Xu Junjun was eagerly waiting, while Jiang Wumei was halfway back to Beijing.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wumei's trip back to Beijing went smoothly at the beginning.
But when she took the child and Qingzhi out of Yuncheng in a carriage and passed a few cities by water, she found that Zhao Qi's expression was getting worse and worse.
That night, everyone finally reached the shore and settled down in an inn on a busy long street.
To be on the safe side, Zhao Qi booked the entire inn at three times the price and refused to allow the inn to accept any more guests.
After taking the silver and money, the shop owner saw that Zhao Qi and his group looked very menacing. Knowing that they were of high status, he did not dare to have any other thoughts and quickly ordered the waiter to hang up a sign saying that they would not accept any customers.
The weather has been fine these past two days, and the sky is full of stars tonight.
After Jiang Wumei finished her dinner, she held the child and played with him for a while, then asked Qingzhi to coax him to sleep while she went behind the screen to take a bath and change clothes.
When she finished cleaning up and came out, she saw that the child was already fast asleep in the crib. Qingzhi was fanning him on the side and humming a soft tune from Yuncheng.
Hearing footsteps, Qingzhi turned around and saw Jiang Wumei wiping her wet hair. She hurriedly stood up and walked forward, whispering:
"Your Majesty, please sit next to the little prince and let me wipe your hair for you."
Jiang Wumei hummed, picked up the green branch and placed it aside as a fan, fanning the little guy to drive away mosquitoes, and whispered:
"Care yourself these few days. The road back to Beijing is not very peaceful. Be careful of accidents."
Qingzhi nodded:
"Don't worry, Madam, I understand."
Qingzhi wiped his hair and saw his wife's brows were slightly worried. He whispered:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Lord Zhao will personally escort you and the little prince, so the journey will be safe.
Moreover, the Qilin Guards have already uncovered the details of the assassination attempt on the young prince. The Emperor values the Empress and the young prince so much that he will never give the villains another chance to strike."
Jiang Wumei turned her head to look at Qingzhi and shook her head:
“This matter is not as simple as you think.
The people in the dark know that we have returned to Beijing. If they fail, they will immediately start the next action.
Although Zhao Qi is powerful, he is not supernatural. If we don't stay alert, we won't be able to react in time if something unexpected happens."
Qingzhi had followed Jiang Wumei for a long time and knew very well that his wife was a perfect person.
Seeing his own queen emphasize this, Qingzhi immediately took it to heart and said seriously:
“I will remember this.
Today, I heard from Lord Zhao that the Emperor is on his way to pick up the Empress.
In five or six days at the latest, we will be able to meet the Emperor halfway.
With the Emperor here, Your Majesty and the little prince will be safer."
Seeing that Jiang Wumei's brows were still furrowed, Qingzhi said a few more words.
Hearing this, Jiang Wumei felt a little relieved.
Qingzhi was right. The person who attacked last time chose to do so after Xiao Tong left. He must have been afraid.
If Xiao Tong could arrive earlier, she wouldn't have to worry every day.
After fanning herself for a while, Jiang Wumei's wrists felt sore, so she put down the fan, walked to the window, and looked down.
Seeing that Zhao Qi's secret guards had surrounded the entire inn, Jiang Wumei felt relieved.
"You sleep next door tonight and have a good night's rest."
This time when she returned to Beijing, Jiang Wumei did not bring any maids except Qingzhi.
A few days ago, she was not feeling well during the voyage, and Qingzhi stayed in the room with her and the child, so she did not get enough rest.
Today they finally got ashore and found an inn, so Jiang Wumei let her rest alone for a night.
"I'd rather sleep in the same room with you, Madam.
If the little prince wakes up in the middle of the night, I can take care of him."
Qingzhi was unwilling and was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Jiang Wumei:
"It's okay, the child has been very well behaved these past few days, and he doesn't cry even when he wakes up.
You've been working hard for several days in a row, so take a rest alone today to replenish your energy.
We still need to keep our spirits up for the rest of the journey."
Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the little prince was sleeping soundly, Qingzhi made the bed in the room, helped Jiang Wumei to get into bed, and then tiptoed out of the room.
The night grew thicker little by little.
Everything was silent, with only the occasional chirping of birds and insects in the shade of trees.
Zhao Qi personally led the secret guards on patrol. He kicked a distracted secret guard and cursed:
"Everyone, please be clear-headed. The Imperial Concubine and the young prince are of noble status, and there must be no mistakes.
If anyone dares to neglect their duties and makes a mistake, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
The secret guard who was kicked suddenly came to his senses and was about to apologize when he saw Zhao Qi, with a big knife on his waist, passing by him and leaving quickly.
It looked like he was planning to patrol the entire night personally.
As the hours passed, the clear sound of night watchmen could be heard from the street.
Zhao Qi inspected the area several times and was about to move on when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the street ahead.
