Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

After nightfall, Song Wenjing and Lin Xiaoxiao were assigned to the same room.

In order to get a good rest, they specially ordered bath water.

After Lin Xiaoxiao finished washing up early, she took advantage of Song Wenjing entering the room.

Then he secretly slipped out.

She wasn't sure how long Chu Junze would stay here, so the sooner the better.

Once outside the inn, Lin Xiaoxiao realized the problem.

That means if you don't know the destination, where are you going to find them?

Just as he was feeling worried, he suddenly saw the person who had picked up Lin Wanwan earlier walking over.

He was carrying several packets of herbs, presumably for the Lin family.

I was just worried about not being able to find them, and now I have someone to guide me.

Soon, Lin Xiaoxiao followed that person to a small courtyard.

Several guards stood watch at the entrance.

There was a carriage parked in the courtyard, and it wasn't hard to guess that it was Chu Junze's carriage.

Lin Xiaoxiao secretly removed a tile from the roof.

Then they saw Lin Wanwan lying in Chu Junze's arms, crying and telling him something.

They really are a perfect match.

When they met before, the original owner was arranged to be in a separate room.

Listening to the sweet nothings between his beloved and his sister.

Later, even if the original owner didn't want to listen, he had no choice, because in case of an emergency...

They still need to drag the original owner out to take the blame.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have time to appreciate their deep affection; she spent the entire week carefully examining the house.

However, no baggage or anything was found.

There were only a few pieces of furniture in the room, so Chu Junze wouldn't just leave the money he brought for Lin Wanwan lying around here.

Chu Junze has always been cautious in his actions, especially after his mansion was emptied.

Could the banknotes be on him?

If that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to drug them.

“Junze, the matter of taking the throne is of great importance. Wan’er is really not worth the risk you take.”

Lin Xiaoxiao had just taken out the sleeping pills when she heard some shocking news.

Upper rank?

Chu Junze's status was already quite high.

So, what they're saying is that they want to rebel.

Lin Xiaoxiao temporarily put away the sleeping potion. When she was reading the book, Chu Junze's rebellion should have occurred in the middle to later stages.

Is this being brought forward so soon because of Lin Wanwan's misfortune?

If that's the case, then many things will become uncontrollable in the future.

Chu Junze gently cupped Lin Wanwan's face in his hands and said, "You don't need to worry about these things."

It wasn't until you got into trouble that I realized power is only truly useful when it's firmly in your own hands.

Then, letting go of Lin Wanwan, he said self-deprecatingly, "I have devoted myself to Tianqi, attending to every detail, but Father has always valued that useless crown prince."

I cannot stand by and watch Apocalypse be destroyed by that incompetent man.

Lin Wanwan stepped forward and reached out to touch his furrowed brow: "That's why you plotted to have the Emperor exile the Song family of Zhenguo Mansion."

Chu Junze said with a regretful expression, "Song Huai'an is stubborn and blindly loyal, and it is difficult for him to be of use to me. I have no choice but to deal with him."

Otherwise, the Song family would definitely be my top general.

Lin Xiaoxiao was utterly speechless. The imperial family was truly ruthless; they couldn't tolerate disloyalty from their own father.

But even sincere loyalty to you, a rebel, cannot be tolerated.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed something was wrong with the carriage in the courtyard.

Since I arrived here, there have been four guards standing guard around this carriage.

At first, I thought there was someone important inside, but after so much time...

No one came out from inside.

Then there must be something important inside.

Lin Xiaoxiao's teleportation distance is only within three meters, so she cannot directly enter the carriage from the roof.

Lin Xiaoxiao then took out a smoke bomb from her spatial storage.

He weighed it in his hand, then opened it and threw it directly into the yard.

"what is that?"

Upon seeing something they had never seen before, even the usually well-trained guards panicked.

"A monster! There's a monster!"

Lin Xiaoxiao entered the carriage, and sure enough, there was a bundle inside.

Without bothering to check what was inside, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly put it into her spatial storage.

Then withdrew.

Hearing the commotion outside, Chu Junze hurriedly came out to check.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw smoke billowing in the yard.

He quickly shielded Lin Wanwan behind him until the smoke cleared.

"Your Highness!"

After the smoke cleared, the guards in the courtyard all knelt down in front of Chu Junze.

Chu Junze frowned as he recalled the strange scene from earlier.

Then he strode to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and sure enough, the things he had prepared for Wanwan were gone.

The Lin family and I are incompatible!

At that moment, the words his father had spoken in court that day involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"Junze, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Chu Junze: "It's nothing, it's just that the package I prepared for you is missing."

"Could it be a monster?"

The guards nearby couldn't help but speak up.

After all, no one had ever seen what happened just now.

"What monster? Don't talk nonsense."

Chu Junze stopped their speculation.

Then he turned to Lin Wanwan and said, "I originally prepared a lot of money for you for this farewell."

But now that it's lost, all I can give you are the loose change I have left.

But Lin Wanwan couldn't hear anything about money.

My mind is now filled with the farewell Chu Junze just mentioned.

What does it mean?

Does he no longer want him?

Seeing Lin Wanwan's worry, Chu Junze quickly explained, "Don't worry, I will never abandon you."

However, I will definitely be busy for a while.

The day I achieve great success will be the day we reunite.

After hearing Chu Junze's explanation, Lin Wanwan's expression improved considerably.

But the thought of parting from him still makes me sad.

When Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the inn, Song Wenjing had already finished washing up.

Right now, I'm sitting in my room, leisurely sipping tea.

Lin Xiaoxiao, unsure if he had noticed anything amiss, awkwardly asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Song Wenjing said calmly, "I'll wait for you!"

Lin Xiaoxiao unconsciously explained, "Well, I thought you would stay in the bath for a long time, so I stayed outside a bit longer."

"I had injuries, so I just cleaned them up."

Oh right, how could I have forgotten!

Lin Xiaoxiao stood there, looking annoyed.

"It's alright, you don't need to explain!" Song Wenjing stood up and walked over. "If you trust me, I can help you in the future."

Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly and looked at him with a smile: "Has anyone ever told you that being too smart is not a good thing?"

Song Wenjing suddenly moved closer to her and chuckled, "What? Are you going to kill me to silence me?"

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? I'll spare your life for now!"

"My wife really can't bear to part with me."

As Song Wenjing spoke, he lowered his head to kiss her.

"Shut up!"

Lin Xiaoxiao covered his mouth with her hand.

Song Wenjing frowned unhappily: "What's wrong? Does my wife dislike me?"
