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

"Your Majesty, be safe."

Outside the palace, the sounds of palace maids and eunuchs kneeling and paying their respects could be heard one after another. Jiang Wumei looked up from the window and saw a man in bright yellow striding towards the bedroom.

Putting down the travel notes in her hand, Jiang Wumei quickly walked to the palace gate to greet people.

As soon as she stood still, the shadow of the man moving forward stopped in front of her eyes.

Jiang Wumei raised her head and met the man's eyes with a faint smile.

Jiang Wumei's heart suddenly relaxed, and she also curled up the corners of her mouth.

"Has the Emperor had his dinner yet?"

She and An'er didn't use much just now. If Xiao Tong didn't eat it, she could use some with him.

Xiao Tong stretched out his long arm, placed it on Jiang Wumei's waist, and responded in a gentle voice:

"Not yet, you accompany me."

Jiang Wumei smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Qingzhi, who immediately nodded and went to make the arrangements.

"Your Majesty, did you gain anything from meeting Luchen today?

Did he... tell me about An'er's solution?"

To be fair, Jiang Wumei was convinced by the monk named Lechen.

When Xiao Tong found this person, the monk concluded that she was still alive without even looking at the corpse, and that she was a truly powerful master.

Jiang Wumei only hopes that Xiao Tong will have a different harvest today.

Xiao Tong lowered his eyes and met Jiang Wumei's expectant eyes, and the smile on his lips faded a little.

Jiang Wumei looked at him and shook her head:

"Master Liaochen said that letting An'er travel with him to gain experience is the safest way.

You don't have to worry. If you don't want An'er to leave, I won't send him to Huguo Temple.

If you are worried and want to send him there, I will also arrange a team of Qilin Guards to protect him day and night.

No matter what you decide, we can protect An'er."

All the way to today, what Xiao Tong values ​​most are the people around him and his children.

No matter what, he would not let anything happen to the mother and son.

As for the fatal disaster that Lechen mentioned, Xiao Tong was also confident that as long as he was there, he could protect An'er.

Jiang Wumei was not as optimistic as he was. When she learned that there was no turning back, her expectant eyes immediately dimmed and she lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Xiao Tong frowned and held her in his arms, patting her back gently to comfort her:

"don’t worry.

I will take care of everything and will never let An'er get into trouble."

Jiang Wumei closed her eyes and raised her hands to hug the man back.

Feeling the man's scorching body temperature, Jiang Wumei spoke out the difficult decision that had been rolling in her heart for some time:

"Your Majesty, when will Master Liaochen travel?"

Yesterday, when she and Junjun heard Lechen mention An'er, they were filled with anger and resistance and had no time to ask Lechen about his departure time.

Right now, time is running out and I don’t know if I will have enough time to pack my bags.

"wave?"

Xiao Tong let go of the person and lowered his eyes to easily see the struggle in Jiang Wumei's eyes.

Xiao Tong couldn't bear to see her in such a difficult situation, so he said directly:

"You don't have to force yourself. I've thought about it carefully. An'er is still young, and it's not a good thing for him to be away from home all year round without the royal family's education and protection.

Since you are so reluctant to let go, just let An'er stay in the palace.

As the Great Sage Prince, An'er does not need to worry about his safety. When he turns ten, I will keep him by my side, never leaving his side."

No matter what choice Jiang Wumei makes, Xiao Tong has a plan to deal with it.

He just wants Jiang Wumei to be happy.

"That's it."

Xiao Tong made the final decision, and Jiang Wumei suddenly reached out and grabbed his bright yellow sleeve, revealing a pair of determined eyes:

"Your Majesty, let An'er go."

Jiang Wumei felt very uncomfortable, but she had to choose a path for her child.

Since Lechen said that the child would suffer a bloody disaster, An'er was destined to have no way out of this matter.

She knew too well what fate meant. Instead of struggling with a hope of luck, it would be better to make a decision early.

She was not sure how long she could stay in this world, and she was afraid that she would not live until An'er was ten years old.

She was worried that after she left, Xiao Tong would not want to take care of the child and An'er's safety could not be guaranteed.

Now the child has been sent to Lechen, who has been with him for many years and is both his teacher and friend. If An'er really encounters a disaster, Lechen will not sit idly by.

After much consideration, Jiang Wumei didn't dare to try it and could only make this heartbreaking decision at this moment.

Xiao Tong stared at Jiang Wumei without saying a word. Jiang Wumei forced a few smiles and tried to persuade him:

"Your Majesty, you also know how powerful Master Chen is. You should understand that the Master never lies."

Of course Xiao Tong understood this truth, he just didn't understand why Niao Niao still didn't want to believe him.

She would rather endure the pain of separation from her child than believe that he would wholeheartedly protect the child and help him through this difficult time.

He had thought that as the two of them had come this far, Niao Niao would be able to rely on him wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect that at this point, Niao Niao's first choice would still be someone else.

A bloody crack appeared in Xiao Tong's heart, and he continued to bleed and suffer pain because of Jiang Wumei's choice and attitude.

"it is good."

Xiao Tong heard his voice become cold and hard:

“It’s all up to you.

We will leave the day after tomorrow. I will go back to the imperial study to arrange some things first.

Go to bed early and don't wait for me."

Xiao Tong didn't want Jiang Wumei to discover his disappointment and pain, so he found a reason to leave.

He didn't dare to look at the expression of the person in front of him. Without waiting for Jiang Wumei to say anything, he strode away into the night like the man had come.

Qingzhi had just brought the food back from the imperial kitchen with the palace maids when they ran into Xiao Tong who was striding towards them. She hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

In the past, Xiao Tong would have said "stand up" to Qingzhi because she was Jiang Wumei's personal maid. But today, considering the people kneeling on the ground, Xiao Tong ignored them. With the corners of his robe fluttering in the wind, he disappeared outside Fengwu Palace with heavy and quick steps in an instant.

When the eunuch chief who came with Xiao Tong saw this scene, sweat broke out on his forehead and he hurriedly took small steps to catch up.

"Your Majesty, you haven't even had your dinner yet, how come you're out so soon..."

Normally, the emperor and the imperial concubine were inseparable, and the chief eunuch was like an invisible man, having an easy time.

But as long as there is a slight disagreement between the two, these servants serving the emperor will be in trouble.

Just like now.

"shut up!"

Xiao Tong shouted, scaring the eunuchs who followed him so much that they fell to their knees.

The chief eunuch knelt at Xiao Tong's feet, his head touching the ground, and tremblingly began to advise:

"Your Majesty, please calm down.

You left the palace in a hurry today and didn't have lunch before leaving. After returning to the palace, you didn't eat anything either.

I am worried about your health.

You should go back to Fengwu Palace and have dinner with Her Majesty before you get back to your work.

The Queen didn't eat much for lunch or dinner today, so she might be waiting for you to come back to the palace to have dinner together.

If you leave like this, the queen will be sad."

The eunuch chief's words made Xiao Tong stop.

When leaving the palace just now, Xiao Tong didn't dare to look at Niao Niao's expression. He didn't know that she had not eaten much because she was waiting for him.

His stomach, which hadn't eaten for a long time, began to burn with pain, but Xiao Tong looked at the person kneeling at his feet and asked with a stern look:

"How do you know that the Queen didn't eat much of her dinner?"

When the eunuch chief heard that there was something going on, he quickly cheered up and replied:

"Your Majesty, I was waiting outside the palace just now and heard what the palace maid who was serving the Empress said.

I guess the palace maid is also worried about the health of the queen."

Xiao Tong stared at the eunuch's bent back for a long time without saying a word.

He stood in the wind for a while, then suddenly turned around and quickly walked back towards the exit of the hall.
