Chapter 265 Everything is ready
Xu Junjun stared at Jun Xiaochen for a few seconds, and after a moment, seeing that he had returned to normal, she breathed a sigh of relief and carried the black altar to the table at the entrance and placed it there.
Jun Xiaochen glanced at the black altar and immediately guessed what was inside:
"Mother-child Gu?"
Xu Junjun pushed the black altar inward and nodded:
"Ok.
I was worried about leaving it alone in the room before leaving the house this afternoon, so I asked your personal guards to keep it for you."
Jun Xiaochen nodded, walked to Xu Junjun's side, took her hand naturally, his eyes gentle:
“Put the mother-child Gu first.
There is another matter I want to discuss with you.”
Xu Junjun turned and looked at Jun Xiaochen, and felt that his expression and tone were a little formal.
Pursing her lips, Xu Junjun looked at Jun Xiaochen and heard him speak again:
"Jun'er, I was the only one in the palace before, and everything in the palace was arranged by the housekeeper.
Now, we are about to get married, and the wedding house needs to be built according to your preferences.
Look, what style of yard do you like?
Tell me all your ideas and I will arrange for people to rebuild it."
Xu Junjun pursed her lips and said nothing, her heart full of complicated feelings.
Her relationship with Jun Xiaochen is really a mess.
That day, even if she had sex with Jun Xiaochen without knowing why, she was determined not to continue to be entangled with him.
But, after that...
Jun Xiaochen's firm and serious attitude invaded her world forcefully and irresistibly, not allowing her to retreat at all.
Her unbreakable bottom line was repeatedly pried by men, until she gradually retreated and clearly felt that she was wavering...
She found that she was gradually adapting to the presence of men.
She had adapted to a man influencing her decisions as a partner, and she understood that Jun Xiaochen was already special to her.
But even so, she was not sure whether she would choose him in the end.
Seeing Xu Junjun's hesitation, Jun Xiaochen's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He took hold of Xu Junjun's small hand and drew her attention back.
Xu Junjun raised his eyes, Jun Xiaochen lowered his eyes, and when their eyes met, Jun Xiaochen spoke softly:
"You can take your time to think about it and tell me your thoughts before you return to the Great Sage."
Looking at the reflection in Jun Xiaochen's amber eyes, Xu Junjun hummed in confusion and turned away, not daring to look at him again.
Jun Xiaochen understands the principle of knowing when to stop, and sometimes retreating to advance is also a strategy.
When dealing with Xu Junjun, he had to use both soft and hard tactics and grasp the right measure to gradually bring her into his arms.
Jun Xiaochen has enough patience to wait for the day when she truly accepts him.
He wouldn't let her leave, left or right.
As long as he doesn't want to, even if the Great Sage's imperial concubine comes, she can't stop him from keeping the person.
Jun Xiaochen is absolutely confident and sure about this.
Soon, the maid brought the food. After Jun Xiaochen and Xu Junjun finished their dinner, Xu Junjun got up and sent them away.
Thinking of the scene where Jun Xiaochen had restrained her on his thighs and did what he wanted to her, Xu Junjun was completely unable to look directly at Jun Xiaochen's fingers after the whole meal.
Especially when she saw his long fingers sticking out from when he was picking up food with chopsticks just now, Xu Junjun felt even more uneasy when she thought of the feeling of it wreaking havoc in her body.
Now, the food has been cleared away, and there is no one else in the room. Xu Junjun feels more and more awkward being alone in the room.
This time, Jun Xiaochen had no objection. He stood up as soon as Xu Junjun spoke.
But before leaving, Jun Xiaochen stood in front of her, raised his hand to stroke her forehead, tucked the loose hair on her cheek behind her ear, pinched her soft earlobe affectionately, and then turned and left.
Xu Junjun covered her burning ears, gritted her teeth and stared at the man's receding back, cursing angrily, "You bastard, you always go fishing!"
I am destined to have a restless sleep tonight.
The next morning, as soon as Jun Xiaochen finished his court session, Xu Junjun got up and went to Cangyue Courtyard to look for someone.
At that time, Cangyue was combing her hair. Xu Junjun sat beside her and watched her braid her long hair into small braids that fell in front of her chest, and then insert those beautiful silver ornaments into her hair.
Xu Junjun looked at it for a while, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes:
"Your attire is very similar to that of a tribe I know.
They also love to adorn themselves with silver jewelry.”
Cang Yue was putting a small silver chain on her head in front of the mirror. Upon hearing this, she turned back curiously:
"Really? That's fate.
In fact, we Shen people use silver jewelry to decorate ourselves, and some of them are also used to detect poison.
I don’t know why the tribe you mentioned uses silver jewelry.”
Xu Junjun shook her head:
"I am not sure as well.
But their tribe is also very mysterious. Speaking of which, it is similar to your Shen tribe, and it seems that they also have poisonous insects.
I wonder if they have something as awesome as the Mother-Child Gu."
Cang Yue laughed heartily, revealing a few bright and white teeth:
"I can guarantee that in the entire Apocalypse, our Shen clan has the most powerful poison.
No matter how powerful the tribe you mentioned is, our Shen tribe will never be at a disadvantage against them."
Seeing her proud look, Xu Junjun laughed and gave her a thumbs up:
"Amazing, awesome! I'm ashamed of myself."
The two laughed and joked for a while, had breakfast together, and then went to the pharmacy to do some work.
Jun Xiaochen naturally fully supports Xu Junjun in everything he does.
Last night, Cang Yue sent the list of medicinal materials, and Xu Junjun's personal guards personally delivered it to her pharmacy during breakfast time.
Everything was ready. As soon as she arrived at the pharmacy, Xu Junjun put the things she had collected yesterday on the table and let Cangyue take the lead while she assisted and learned from him.
The two of them stayed in the pharmacy for the entire day without leaving.
The maids carefully brought in the lunch, and seeing the two people busy with their heads down, they hurried out after delivering the food.
An hour later, the maids went in to collect the dishes, but found that the food had not been touched.
The maids had no choice but to bring out the cold food and asked the kitchen to prepare other dishes and serve them after the two men finished their work.
But I waited until the sun set in the west, the sky was full of stars, and the candles in the pharmacy were burning brightly, but I didn't hear the two people coming out.
Something happened in the suburban camp yesterday, and Jun Xiaochen personally rushed to the camp and killed a deputy general to make an example of him.
Today, the frightened monkey hid his head and tucked his buttocks in the court and dared not cause trouble again.
After Jun Xiaochen helped the little emperor with other matters, he returned home from the palace. It was already dark.
Wei Dong followed Jun Xiaochen back to the palace on horseback. When he entered the palace, he was still reporting the matter:
"Master, the body of Wu Gou, whom you killed yesterday, has been taken away by the Wu family.
Today, our people have been keeping an eye on the Wu family and discovered that Cheng Jun, the Imperial City's Ministry of Personnel, had sent people in and out of the Wu family once."
The two of them were surrounded by the palace's personal guards, so there was no need to worry about eavesdropping. Jun Xiaochen nodded:
"Have someone keep an eye on Cheng Jun.
The Cheng family and the Wu family are secretly the Queen Mother's people. Stop them and don't let them contact the Queen Mother."
Weidong nodded to show that he understood, and went to make arrangements after entering the mansion.
Jun Xiaochen returned to his room, showered and changed his clothes, then asked his personal guards:
"Did Jun'er leave the house today?"
The guards were standing at the door, and upon hearing this, they bowed and replied:
"My Lord, Miss Xu has been refining medicine with Miss Cang in the courtyard all day and has not left the house."
Jun Xiaochen thought of the list of medicinal herbs sent yesterday and nodded:
"The king knows."
Knowing the importance of the Mother-Child Pill to Xu Junjun, Jun Xiaochen did not go directly to the next door to find her, but turned around and went to the study to deal with things.
The night grows thicker.
Time passed, and Jun Xiaochen had been in the study for nearly two hours in the blink of an eye.
Glancing at the time, he saw that it was almost midnight and no one had come to notify him yet. Jun Xiaochen put down his pen, stood up, and walked towards Xu Junjun's pharmacy.
