Chen Yu was called to the front by Zhao Qi. Facing Zhao Qi's gloating gaze, Chen Yu leaned over and listened to Xiao Tong's instructions.

After a while, Chen Yu nodded while holding the reins, responded respectfully, and turned his horse back.

Zhao Qi hadn't seen enough from behind when he saw him coming back. He walked up to him and asked curiously:

"So soon, what did the Emperor order?"

Chen Yu didn't intend to pay attention to him and rode past him on horseback. Zhao Qi, who was impatient, grabbed him and asked, scratching his head:

"You're dumb, aren't you?"

The more anxious Zhao Qi became, the calmer Chen Yu became.

Reaching out to block Zhao Qi's outstretched arm, Chen Yu glanced at him with a cold expression:

"Want to know?"

Zhao Qi nodded vigorously.

Chen Yu:

"Go ask the Emperor yourself."

Zhao Qi was almost mad as a buffalo:

"Hey, what do you mean?

Are you really trying to piss me off? "

Chen Yu ignored him and pushed his horse further and further away from Zhao Qi.

Looking at Chen Yu returning to the end of the team and recruiting a dozen people to leave first, raising a cloud of dust, Zhao Qi smacked his lips and felt something was wrong.

Zhao Qi was very puzzled. Chen Yu had become much colder towards him since he came back from Tianqi.

In the past, he could still talk to this person, but since Chen Yu came back from Tianqi yesterday, the two of them haven't said more than ten sentences to each other.

In addition, there are the few sentences they just said.

Could it be that after Chen Yu was sent out by the emperor, he came back and found that he was increasingly valued by the emperor and became jealous of him?

Ok.

That's for sure!

The more Zhao Qi thought about it, the more possible it seemed. He stared at Chen Yu's back in disbelief.

I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect that the leader of Qilin Guard, Chen Yu, would be such a petty man.

From now on, he must stay away from Chen Yu!

Nodding his head twice in self-affirmation, Zhao Qi put away his desire to watch the fun, turned back to his master, and conscientiously performed his guarding duties.

He wants to cling tightly to his emperor!

We must not give Chen Yu the chance to step over him!

Xiao Tong was already annoyed as he listened to the laughter of his beloved in the carriage all the way. When he turned around inadvertently, he found that Zhao Qi was blinking his big copper-bell eyes and staring at him with shining eyes. Xiao Tong became even more annoyed.

"Zhao Qi."

Xiao Tong's face was filled with gloom. When he spoke, Zhao Qi was frightened and he quickly rode forward:

"emperor."

Xiao Tong stared at him for a long time without saying anything, and Zhao Qi was almost sweating.

It was not until Zhao Qi's neck was sore that he heard the cold voice of his own emperor:

"If you feel unwell, take a leave and rest."

Throwing down a sentence, Xiao Tong shook the reins and followed the carriage forward, leaving Zhao Qi with wide eyes, standing on the side of the official road in confusion and shock, like an abandoned big-eyed toad.

What is the emperor saying?

Does he look sick?

Zhao Qi, who didn't understand his master's intention, was very conflicted. He stopped on his horse for a long time, then hesitantly and carefully chased after him.

Fortunately, he returned to Xiao Tong again. Xiao Tong just glanced at him coldly without saying anything. Zhao Qi then put his heart at ease and continued to be vigilant around him.

As the master's confidant, Wei Dong on the other side had already noticed Zhao Qi's movements.

You can also see the interaction between Zhao Qi and Chen Yu.

Noticing that the two seemed to be at odds, and seeing Chen Yu riding away after listening to the Great Sage Emperor's words, Wei Dong approached behind Jun Xiaochen and whispered a few words to him.

Jun Xiaochen's expression was indifferent. He glanced at Xiao Tong and asked Wei Dong to step back without saying anything.

Over the next period of time, everyone got closer and closer to the capital.

Especially with the two men speeding up intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Wumei and her group were only a day's journey away from the capital.

Xu Junjun has been spending every day with Jiang Wumei these days, and Xiao Tong and Jun Xiaochen's faces have both turned green.

If Xiao Tong hadn't been concerned about others, he would have thrown Xu Junjun out with his own hands.

Therefore, after enduring another day and arriving in the capital, Xiao Tong couldn't wait to separate Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun.

As soon as the carriage entered the capital, Xiao Tong directly ordered Chen Yu to take Jun Xiaochen and Xu Junjun to their new residence, and he couldn't wait to take Jiang Wumei back to the palace.

Jiang Wumei was hesitant at first, wondering whether she should stay and accompany Xu Junjun first. As a result, Xiao Tong's words "An'er is waiting for his mother in the palace" directly broke Jiang Wumei's psychological defense.

Since the Great Sage had not seen the little guy yet, Xu Junjun did not stop Jiang Wumei. During this period, the sisters had talked to each other privately, and she was not afraid that Xiao Tong would drug Niao Niao.

So, Xu Junjun waved her hand and generously let Jiang Wumei go.

After agreeing to leave the palace to accompany Xu Junjun in two days, Jiang Wumei no longer hesitated and boarded the carriage to follow Xiao Tong back to the palace.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Xiao Tong brought Jiang Wumei to Fengwu Palace.

Looking at this magnificent palace that only the Great Saint Queen could live in, Jiang Wumei paused for a moment and then stepped in.

"This servant greets Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine..."

The uniform greetings from dozens of palace maids in the hall sounded pleasant to the ears. Jiang Wumei stood beside Xiao Tong and looked up at the tall and muscular man beside her.

Xiao Tong kept looking at her, his black eyes filled with expectation.

As long as Niao Niao is willing to live here, it means that she is trying to accept him and is willing to stay by his side and be his one and only queen.

Jiang Wumei was hesitating.

But when she saw the hope in Xiao Tong's black eyes, Jiang Wumei's heart sank for some reason. After a moment, she turned her head to look at the palace maids kneeling on the ground.

There was a long silence.

The expectation in Xiao Tong's eyes faded, and a sense of loss crept into his heart.

Yes, he was too impatient.

He should have given Niao Niao more time to accept it, instead of trying to tie her down with the position of queen as soon as he returned to Beijing.

He had forgotten that the position of queen was just a reputational burden that could be easily discarded to Niao Niao.

With a faint self-deprecating smile on his lips, Xiao Tong was about to speak to smooth things over when he heard the firm and powerful voice of the woman beside him:

"Everyone, get up.

Prepare hot water, I need to take a bath and change clothes."

After traveling all the way, Jiang Wumei couldn't just go see An'er like this, so she prepared to take a shower before going to find the child.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a uniform response in the hall.

The palace maids all got up from the ground, bent down and hid in the corners of the hall, busying themselves with preparations. Jiang Wumei straightened her back and walked slowly into the hall.

After taking two steps forward, Jiang Wumei felt something was wrong. She turned around and saw that Xiao Tong had not followed her.

Seeing the surprise and joy in the man's eyes, Jiang Wumei couldn't help but curl her lips:

"What is the Emperor doing standing there?

Come here quickly."
