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

The little guy was wearing a light green robe and looked like a chubby little dumpling when he ran.

He ran into Fengwu Palace, followed by a long group of palace maids and eunuchs, as well as Jiang Yuanzhou in official uniform.

"Mother concubine."

From a distance, when the little guy saw Jiang Wumei, he pouted and reached out for a hug with tears in his eyes.

In the past few months, I haven't seen Jiang Wumei, and my father sent her to a completely unfamiliar place. The little guy felt very aggrieved.

As soon as he saw his mother, he couldn't help but start to cry.

Jiang Wumei's heart was about to melt. She asked Qingzhi to stop wiping her hair, and with her wet black hair spread out, she squatted down and took the little guy into her arms and coaxed him gently:

"I'm sorry, An'er. Mother has been away for too long this time, and we, An'er, have been waiting anxiously at home.

But our An'er is the best. Mother brought you a gift. Can we open it together later?"

The little fellow hugged Jiang Wumei's neck tightly, tears still hanging beside his little eyes, and shook his head softly:

"An'er doesn't want gifts, An'er wants his mother.

Mother, please don't abandon An'er."

The separation of several months made the little guy very scared. He hadn't seen his parents for such a long time that he almost thought they didn't want him anymore.

Many times, at night, the little one would hide in the quilt and cry quietly. Jiang Yuanzhou found him and held him in his arms and coaxed him for a long time before he finally stopped crying.

Jiang Wumei felt distressed when she heard this. The little guy was frightened. She held the child on her lap, kissed his fair and tender forehead, and said a lot of reassurances before she coaxed the little guy into giggling.

Jiang Yuanzhou entered the hall in his official uniform, looked at his sister who was playing with the child on the couch, and bowed:

"Your humble servant Jiang Yuanzhou greets Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

“No need to be so polite, brother.

Qingzhi, prepare some tea and snacks."

"Yes, ma'am."

Knowing that his queen had something to say to Lord Jiang, Qingzhi led his men out of the palace but did not close the door.

Jiang Wumei tied her long hair up and let it fall behind her. She placed the child beside her and thanked Jiang Yuanzhou:

"Thank you, brother, for taking care of An'er during this time.

If my brother wasn't in the capital, the Emperor and I wouldn't be at peace."

Jiang Wumei knew that Xiao Tong must have given it careful consideration before entrusting the child to Jiang Yuanzhou before leaving.

Taking over the child was not as simple as just spending a few more days to think about it. I believe he had to go through a lot of dangers during this period.

Jiang Yuanzhou looked at his sister carefully with gentle eyes, and found that she had lost a lot of weight and there were scars on her wrists. His brows knitted together:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I just wonder what you have been through recently. Is your health in any serious condition?"

Jiang Wumei followed Jiang Yuanzhou's gaze to her wrist and smiled comfortingly:

"Don't worry, brother. These injuries only look scary. They're just flesh wounds. Nothing serious."

Jiang Yuanzhou obviously didn't believe it, but because the young prince was present, he didn't want to ask any more questions.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Jiang Wumei smiled and, while Qingzhi brought tea and pastries, asked her to take the child to the next bedroom to open the gifts.

The little guy was still reluctant to leave and held Jiang Wumei's arm tightly. It was only after Jiang Wumei coaxed him softly and promised to go over to accompany him right away that the little guy reluctantly left with Qingzhi.

As soon as the child left, Jiang Wumei raised her hand to pour tea for Jiang Yuanzhou. Jiang Yuanzhou was about to refuse when he heard Jiang Wumei's smiling voice:

"Brother, you are so polite to me, but do you want to be estranged from your sister?"

Jiang Yuanzhou stopped moving, sat to the side, and took the tea poured by Jiang Wumei herself.

“Before the Emperor returned to the capital, he ordered the execution of many officials in the fiefdoms that had served as loyal ministers to the Emperor, causing panic among the court.

"Niao Niao, was your injury caused by Qin Wang alone?"

Jiang Yuanzhou is not stupid, on the contrary he has a kind heart. During this period, he took the little prince with him and encountered assassinations and poisonings. After collecting and unraveling the evidence, all of them pointed to one person.

Jiang Wumei was not surprised that Jiang Yuanzhou guessed the murderer. If he knew nothing about the murderer behind the scenes, he would be unworthy of Xiao Tong's trust.

Pushing the pastry in her hand towards Jiang Yuanzhou, Jiang Wumei lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes and explained in a low voice:

“Besides King Qin, there is also Xiao Luoling.

These two people secretly cooperated with each other and used secret agents in Tianqi to take advantage of the loopholes of Qilin Guards and kidnap Junjun and me.

But brother, you don't have to worry. Although the situation this time was bumpy, fortunately it was safe. The most important thing is to completely solve the two cancers, Xiao Yun and Xiao Luoling.

Once these two die, An'er and I will have a better chance of safety in the future."

Jiang Yuanzhou frowned deeply:

“That being said, it’s very unlikely that you and the Emperor would be able to return this time.

This price is really too high.

No wonder the Emperor was so furious."

At this point, Jiang Yuanzhou had no doubt that the emperor was truly in love with his sister, but since ancient times, kings have been very fickle, and he didn't know how long his sister's favor could last.

"Brother, you came at the right time today.

Besides thanking you, my sister has something else to tell you."

Jiang Yuanzhou was puzzled:

"Are you worried about the remnants of the loyalists?"

Jiang Wumei shook her head:

“That’s not it.

The emperor will deal with the remaining followers of Xiao Yun and Xiao Luoling. I don't need to worry.

I want to say something else.”

The tea was about eight-tenths hot, just enough to bring out the fragrance. Jiang Wumei lowered her head and took a sip, covering up the slight nervousness in her heart.

"Brother, the Emperor will soon make me his queen.

In the future, I will live in the palace for a long time. If my brother encounters any difficulties in the previous dynasty, he can come to me.

Although the harem cannot interfere in government affairs, as a younger sister, I can still offer advice to my brother."

Along the way, Jiang Yuanzhou saw his true love and care for Jiang Wumei.

In the past, Jiang Yuanzhou supported her, and in the future, he would let her lend a helping hand to his brother and help him to have a smooth career.

Jiang Yuanzhou was shocked:

"Become the Queen?

Niaoniao, have you thought this through?

At first..."

When Jiang Yuanzhou heard the news, his first reaction was not surprise, but worry.

Back then, his sister faked her own death to escape from the palace, but now she is willing to be the queen and live in this harem for the rest of her life.

Jiang Yuanzhou was worried that she was not willing to be crowned queen.

With Jiang Wumei being crowned queen, the Jiang family's status in the court will inevitably rise, and he, in the previous dynasty, will also benefit from it.

But what does it matter how much benefit there is? Compared with my sister's happiness, none of it matters.

Although Jiang Yuanzhou is not conceited, he is confident that even without his sister's help in becoming the queen, he will be able to reach the second rank in time and take the Jiang family to a higher level. There is no need for his sister to make such a sacrifice.

“Brother, I volunteered this time.

The Emperor is very good and worthy of my lifelong trust.

No matter what the outcome will be, at least at this moment, I have no regrets."

Jiang Wumei looked at him seriously. Even though Jiang Yuanzhou wanted to ask more questions, he gave up all his questions when he saw her firm gaze.

Forget it, things in this world are unpredictable. It’s rare for Niao Niao to be firm, so as her brother, he should fully support her.
