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

Jiang Wumei finished half a bowl of porridge. The little guy saw her eating and came forward to join in the fun.

Jiang Wumei looked at his curious eyes and asked him if he was hungry. An'er touched his belly and answered softly:

"I'm a little hungry. An'er wants to eat the porridge in mother's hand."

Jiang Wumei laughed and simply fed the remaining half bowl of porridge to the child.

After eating, An'er felt a little sleepy.

Qingzhi looked at his little head nodding, and whispered to Jiang Wumei:

"Your Majesty, would you like the little prince to take his nap here, or should we send him back to his bedroom?"

Jiang Wumei looked up at the time and estimated that Xiao Tong would be back soon, so she said directly:

"Send him back to the bedroom.

I have something to discuss with the Emperor when he returns, and I'm afraid I'll disturb the children."

Qingzhi nodded and agreed, carefully picked up An'er, and took the palace maid back to the palace.

Xiao Tong came back for lunch at noon. He glanced around the hall and was surprised to see no child.

"An'er didn't stick to you today?"

Jiang Wumei handed over a freshly wrung handkerchief to wipe Xiao Tong's hands, and continued with a smile:

"I just woke up today, and An'er is waiting outside the palace.

I played with him for a while this morning and ate half a bowl of porridge. The little guy is feeling sleepy now and is going back to his bedroom to sleep."

Xiao Tong nodded, indicating that he understood.

Lunch arrived, and Xiao Tong took Jiang Wumei to sit down. While eating, he suddenly mentioned another matter:

"Niao Niao, please accompany me out of the palace tomorrow."

Jiang Wumei had just finished half a bowl of porridge. She wasn't very hungry at the moment and drank the soup intermittently. When she heard Xiao Tong's words, she raised her eyes:

"What are you doing out of the palace?

Is there anything the Emperor needs to do?"

The two just returned to the palace yesterday, and Xiao Tong will leave the palace tomorrow. Could it be that Xiao Tong discovered the remnants of the King Qin’s followers in the capital?

Jiang Wumei's expression became serious, and her tone was solemn:

"Your Majesty, have the loyalists sneaked into the capital?

Will it threaten An'er?"

Jiang Wumei trusted Xiao Tong very much, but once a child was involved, even if Xiao Tong was 100% sure, Jiang Wumei still couldn't help but worry.

Seeing Jiang Wumei's misunderstanding, Xiao Tong put down his chopsticks and explained softly:

"It has nothing to do with them. I have already sent the Qilin Guards to investigate and arrest the remaining loyalists. They will not pose any hidden dangers to you and An'er.

I want to take you to Huguo Temple."

"Huguo Temple?"

Jiang Wumei was surprised:

"Why are you going to Huguo Temple for no reason?"

Jiang Wumei was confused and felt a little resistant.

When Xiao Tong fell unconscious in the Prince's Mansion, it was Master Liaochen from the Huguo Temple who entered the mansion to uncover the mystery.

Now, Xiao Tong is going to take her to Huguo Temple personally. As an outsider who traveled through the book, Jiang Wumei always feels guilty and uneasy when facing these places of gods and Buddhas.

"Your Majesty, I have been away for too long this time, and An'er will be anxious if he can't see me.

Tomorrow, I will stay in the palace to accompany An'er. If you have something to do at Huguo Temple, please go first.

Next time there is a chance, I will accompany you again."

Jiang Wumei wanted to refuse, but Xiao Tong was determined to take her with him:

"That's easy. We'll set off at noon tomorrow and take An'er with us."

Jiang Wumei was dumbfounded. Even after she had said so much, Xiao Tong still wanted her to go with him. Did Xiao Tong discover something?

Jiang Wumei's eyebrows twitched, and she raised her eyes to carefully examine Xiao Tong's expression, but apart from a pair of affectionate and focused eyes, she didn't find anything unusual.

Jiang Wumei remained silent, as if seeing through her rejection. Xiao Tong raised his hand and covered the back of her slightly cold hand. The burning temperature of his palm made Jiang Wumei's heartbeat instantly unbalanced.

"wave."

Jiang Wumei heard Xiao Tong's voice:

"Master Liaochen has strange abilities. He can predict the cycle of life and death and know all things in the future.

I have a question in my mind and would like to seek the answer from Master Lechen."

As soon as Xiao Tong said this, Jiang Wumei's blood froze, and the hands holding the chopsticks began to go numb. She had no idea how to react.

Jiang Wumei looked up at Xiao Tong, her mind full of complicated thoughts.

Does he know?

Did he realize that she was not Jiang Wumei herself?

He insisted on taking her to Huguo Temple. Was he already suspicious of her?

If he gets confirmation from Lechen, will he still treat himself the same way he does now?

A trace of panic flashed across Jiang Wumei's eyes, which was accurately captured by Xiao Tong. The man tightened his grip on the back of her hand inch by inch.

"Niao Niao, I once said that you are the only one in my life.

You can no longer doubt my sincerity."

Xiao Tong's eyes were deep and fiery, and his voice was full of strong emotions.

Jiang Wumei didn't dare to look him in the eye. She lowered her eyes in panic, trying to hide the panic in her eyes.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe in Xiao Tong, it’s that she doesn’t have confidence in the world in the book.

As the Great Saint Emperor, if Xiao Tong made a woman with a different soul his empress under the supervision of Luochen, he would probably be strongly opposed by the Great Saint's court officials.

The pressure from the previous dynasty and the public opinion all fell on Xiao Tong's shoulders. What choice would he make then?

Whether he protects her or gives up on her, it is a thorny road and will create many rifts and cracks between the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, many ideas flashed through Jiang Wumei's confused mind, but each one made her heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

Xiao Tong took in Jiang Wumei's expression, but did not explain too much. He knew what Niao Niao was thinking, but he had to go to the Huguo Temple.

Not only did he have to go, he also had to take Niao Niao with him. Only by getting a definite answer could he feel at ease for the next few decades.

That night, Jiang Wumei slept very uneasily and woke up several times.

But the amazing thing is that every time Jiang Wumei woke up, Xiao Tong would notice it immediately, hold her in his arms and soothe her uneasy emotions.

The next morning, Xiao Tong changed his clothes and went to court. As soon as he left, Jiang Wumei woke up.

Qingzhi heard the noise and entered the hall. Seeing Jiang Wumei leaning against the headboard in a trance, she hurried forward and lifted the gauze curtain.

"Madam, will you rise now?"

Jiang Wumei nodded, her face full of fatigue:

"Well, have someone bring in some hot water. I'll wash up, change clothes, and go see An'er."

Seeing that she was not in a good state, Qingzhi moved gently, helped her get up to change clothes and put on makeup, looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, and said carefully:

"My Lady, are you worried about something?"

Jiang Wumei pressed her eyebrows and shook her head:

"Nothing, I just didn't get enough rest last night, so I feel a little tired."

Qingzhi had no doubts and asked with concern:

"How about you, Madam, sleep a little longer, and I'll come and call you when the young prince wakes up?"

Jiang Wumei still refused:

"No, I can't sleep anyway."

Qingzhi helped Jiang Wumei dress and pack up everything, then went with Jiang Wumei to meet the young master.

In the bedroom, the child was sleeping soundly. Jiang Wumei did not wake him up. She sat beside the bed and carefully traced the child's outline with her eyes.

An'er looks about 70% similar to Xiao Tong, but he is not as cold as Xiao Tong. When he grows up, he will definitely be popular with girls.

While Jiang Wumei was waiting anxiously, Xiao Tong came back to pick up her and her son at noon.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, two teams of Qilin Guards escorted an extremely low-key carriage from the palace gate and headed straight for the Huguo Temple.
