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

That night, when Xiao Tong came back from the imperial study, he saw that the little guy had occupied half of the bedroom, and he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Is An'er asleep?"

Xiao Tong was still wearing the dragon robe, looking majestic, handsome and very aggressive. Just a lean forward made it impossible for Jiang Wumei to ignore his presence.

Jiang Wumei sat in front of the child's crib, patting the quilt on the child's belly. She turned back to look at Xiao Tong and lowered her voice:

"An'er cried for a while this afternoon and just fell asleep.

Your Majesty, the hot water is ready. Please go take a bath first. After the child falls asleep, I will accompany you for dinner."

Hearing that Jiang Wumei had not yet had dinner and was waiting for him to come back, Xiao Tong felt so happy that his heart was filled with joy. However, he pretended to be calm on the surface. After nodding, he pretended to be calm and went to take a bath behind the screen.

After bathing and changing clothes, Xiao Tong found that the child was no longer in the hall.

He was about to ask, but he saw Jiang Wumei come forward to tie the belt of his robe for him and explain softly:

"I asked Qingzhi to send An'er back to her own bedroom.

He will not be awake when I leave tomorrow, so I will sleep here for fear of disturbing him."

Having said that, Jiang Wumei raised her eyes to look at Xiao Tong, looking into his dark and deep eyes, and said seriously:

"While I'm away for a while, An'er will be left in the care of His Majesty.

I am still haunted by what happened last time. I hope Your Majesty will take time out of his busy schedule to look after An'er."

Xiao Tong felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and in this position, he held the person in his arms:

"Don't worry, An'er is my only child, I will definitely protect him.

However, An'er is still young and cannot be away from his mother for too long. I hope you can come back soon.

This is An'er's idea, and it's also my intention."

Jiang Wumei was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly:

"I know it..."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Wumei added:

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health while I am away."

Xiao Tong's heart moved, and he almost blurted out "Don't go."

He hesitated for a while, but still silently swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his throat.

Never mind. At worst, when Niao Niao returns, he will go to the border of Tianqi to pick her up in person.

As an emperor, he cannot enter or leave the borders of other countries, but he can welcome his queen back to the Great Saint Land.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tong whispered:

"I have written a visiting card myself, with my personal seal on it.

Tomorrow, when you set off, please bring the visiting card with you.

When you arrive in Tianqi, just hand it over to the Regent of Tianqi.

With this visiting card, no one in Tianqi will dare to treat you lightly."

Jiang Wumei listened quietly, and nodded slightly after Xiao Tong finished speaking:

"I understand.

Thank you, Your Majesty."

The more thoughtful Xiao Tong was about her, the more complicated Jiang Wumei felt.

In the past few days, thinking back on everything that happened after their reunion, Jiang Wumei guessed that perhaps Xiao Tong had real feelings for her since they met again in Yuncheng.

But it was obvious that nothing special had ever happened between the two of them, and Jiang Wumei couldn't understand where Xiao Tong's change came from.

These days, Jiang Wumei has been thinking about it every day, but still has no clue.

Seeing that they were about to leave tomorrow, Jiang Wumei simply stopped thinking about it.

After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't find the answer. She would wait until she came back from Tianqi and then slowly look for the answer from him.

When dinner was served, neither of them ate much before asking the palace maid to take it away.

As they were about to part, Xiao Tong acted a little harshly tonight, and Jiang Wumei almost couldn't handle it.

Fortunately, Xiao Tong only asked for it once, considering that she had to travel tomorrow. Otherwise, Jiang Wumei doubted whether she could get out of bed early tomorrow morning.

After being carried into the room behind the screen by the man, cleaned, and then carried out again, Jiang Wumei fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

She didn't know that the man beside her had been staring at her face all night long and hadn't slept a wink.

As daylight broke, Jiang Wumei woke up at the urging of her biological clock.

When she opened her eyes, she found Xiao Tong standing in the hall and had not left yet. Jiang Wumei's hazy mind was filled with a bit of clarity, and she asked in a hoarse voice:

"Your Majesty, why didn't you go to court?"

As soon as she asked the question, Jiang Wumei realized that the man in front of her was in casual clothes. It seemed that he was going to leave the palace?

Leaving the palace?

Jiang Wumei woke up instantly, sat up and stared blankly at Xiao Tong who was dressed neatly.

Xiao Tong leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, then personally took out the dress, held Jiang Wumei in his arms, and helped her put on the clothes one by one.

Jiang Wumei had never been treated like this by Xiao Tong before. Just as she was about to struggle, her arm was held down by Xiao Tong:

"Don't move, I'm here to help you get dressed today.

After breakfast, I will escort you out of the capital."

"Send me?"

Jiang Wumei was shocked. Could it be that Xiao Tong didn't go to court today just to see her off in person?

Jiang Wumei didn't get an answer, because Xiao Tong had already dressed her in casual riding clothes, carried her to the dressing table in the hall, and personally tied her hair.

His long fingers shuttled through the soft and shiny black hair. In Jiang Wumei's surprised eyes, Xiao Tong lifted the hair with his big hand and quickly pulled Jiang Wumei's black hair to the top of her head and fixed it with a jade crown.

This outfit stripped away Jiang's charming and delicate beauty, and added a touch of heroic spirit. Paired with a sky-blue riding outfit, she looked very heroic, with a different kind of beauty that Xiao Tong had never seen before.

Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful figure in the mirror, Xiao Tong once again felt the urge to detain her in the capital and not allow her to leave.

But Xiao Tong knew that if he really did this today, Niao Niao would probably hate him for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tong looked away from that beautiful face and ordered someone to bring in breakfast.

The breakfast was very rich, and Xiao Tong and Jiang Wumei only finished half of it.

They still had to ride horses later, so Jiang Wumei put down her chopsticks after eating until she was 70% full to prevent stomachache from the bumpy ride.

Xiao Tong kept staring at Jiang Wumei. When he saw her put down her chopsticks, he also put down his jade chopsticks, stood up and walked out with her hand.

Outside Fengwu Palace, Qingzhi was wearing a light outfit similar to Jiang Wumei. Jiang Wumei glanced at her and suddenly asked Xiao Tong:

"Your Majesty, is An'er still in the bedroom?"

Xiao Tong and Jiang Wumei held hands and walked forward. The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt down and bowed their heads.

The hems of their riding robes drooped and tangled together. Jiang Wumei heard Xiao Tong's reply:

"Well, An'er is still sleeping. If you want to see him, I'll go with you."

Jiang Wumei thought about it, smiled bitterly and shook her head:

"I finally managed to coax An'er yesterday, and now if I go over and wake him up, I won't be able to leave today.

I will go see An'er when I return, and bring him the gift I promised to bring him."

Xiao Tong looked at Jiang Wumei deeply, and saw that her brows were filled with sorrow. He frowned, but said nothing and took her away from Fengwu Palace.

Half an hour later, a group of people shot out from the palace gate and headed straight for the gate of the capital.

But what happened next left Jiang Wumei dumbfounded.

When Xiao Tong was ten miles away from the capital, Jiang Wumei reined in her horse and asked him to return to the palace. Xiao Tong was unwilling, so Jiang Wumei had to follow him.

When they were twenty miles away from the capital, Jiang Wumei asked him to turn back, but Xiao Tong still remained silent, and Jiang Wumei had no choice.

When they were thirty miles away from the capital, Jiang Wumei looked at the tall man on horseback, feeling both amused and helpless.

Why didn't she realize before that Xiao Tong was a bit clingy.
