Bai Junjun saw that they had finally turned the corner, nodding approvingly as if to say "good job."
"What are our plans next?"
"As soon as the meeting with the Three Kings ends, we’ll head to Ying County," Bai Junjun replied confidently.
Originally, they were supposed to leave after finding out about the affairs of His Majesty, but Yuwen Luanfei desperately begged them to act as temporary bodyguards, which is why they were still around.
Despite the murder incident in the Imperial Capital, as long as Yuwen Luanfei was not the one in trouble, she would not interfere.
Originally, a grand royal banquet was planned for tonight, but it had to be canceled due to the Dowager Empress’s incident.
Bai Junjun was enjoying her rare leisure time, lying in the courtyard to cool off when suddenly, a roast chicken leg appeared in the space, its crispy outer and tender inner, covered with spices, made the whole area fragrant.
Speaking of which, during her time in the Imperial Capital, she and Li Wenli were either busy raiding other people’s spots or going to restaurants to seek fortunes with others, and compared to being in the wilderness, Fox had fewer chances to cook.
Seeing the chicken leg in the space, she instantly realized, this was Fox taking a break to roast something to eat.
And this chicken leg was meant for her.
Bai Junjun smiled, picking up the chicken leg.
Taking a bite, it was still that familiar taste, delicious enough to make one’s tongue swallow itself.
Feeling delighted, Bai Junjun devoured the crispy and tender chicken leg, then strolled around the courtyard for half a day, but didn’t find anything suitable to give back in return, so she simply loaded up some Water of Flora in the space for Li Wenli to replenish anytime.
Thus, the two of them finally figured out another function of the Love Brain Space, which could be used for deliveries, and it was incredibly convenient.
In this way, the two of them began a silent communication through space.
Whenever Li Wenli made something delicious, he would always leave a portion for Bai Junjun.
Every time she took it out, the food was still steaming hot.
As the days of the meeting with the Three Kings reached the fourth, after tonight, all the royal relatives would return to their respective homes.
And the Dowager Empress’s disappearance still had no resolution, so nobody dared to indulge in entertainment, thus the royal feast was all changed to a medicated diet tea party.
Yuwen Luanfei himself smelled of herbal medicine.
However, the news that the Dowager Empress was not missing but completely obliterated was also suppressed.
Clearly, Yuwen Luanfei did not wish the matter to ferment further.
As for Yuwen Luanfei’s decision, Bai Junjun had no objections; she had been serving as Yuwen Luanfei’s bodyguard these days, attending all kinds of medicated diet tea parties, and the familiar bland royal food attacked once again.
If it weren’t for Li Wenli frequently putting food in the space, Bai Junjun would have been starved by these court medicated diets.
In the past two days, ailing Yuwen Luanfei gathered everyone together, and a consensus was reached.
Everyone decided to unify temporarily and jointly deal with the Fifth Prince at the Autumn Equinox.
Tonight was a critical moment for the blood oath pledge, and everyone was somewhat delighted to see meat and wine.
After being well-fed and drunk, the relatives began to request Yuwen Luanfei to allow them to take the Dowager Consorts back home to live out their remaining years.
Yuwen Luanfei, of course, had no objection.
The Empress Dowager had already died, and if these Dowager Consorts were troubled further, it would be terrible; better to let them take them home for care first.
Everyone joyfully prepared to take their Dowager Consorts home.
Just then, only the Third Prince’s birth mother was crying in her own palace.
She had spent all her private money on hiring assassins, sending wave after wave, but Yuwen Jun was still very much alive.
She was not willing to give up!
Her son was in Eastern Land, supported by his maternal cousins, and was clearly the closest to the throne; but just when everything seemed hopeful, Yuwen Jun suddenly emerged.
Her brothers and son were all gone in one fell swoop.
