As if falling into an ice cellar, A Bao felt chilled to the bone and suddenly came to his senses.

Gu Qijue asked the right question.

If she were the old emperor, what would she do?

Of course, he would hide in the dark and see with his own eyes what she and Xuanyuan would talk about.

A Bao finally understood Xuanyuan Fengran.

Why did he specifically ask her to be careful with her words and actions on the way he accompanied her here?

Because just now, in the water dungeon of the Western Prison behind the high black stone wall, behind a certain black stone wall, the old emperor was standing.

Any words she said could arouse the old emperor's suspicion.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Fengran reminded her, and today, she originally just wanted to give her fifth brother a bowl of New Year's Eve dumplings to bid farewell to him.

Po calmed down instantly.

Her rationality returned and she looked at Gu Qijue with caution, "Commander Gu, are you kindly reminding me?"

Gu Qijue said coldly, "Do one good deed a day."

Po taunted, "It turns out that Commander Gu also knows that he has done too much evil and needs to do good deeds to accumulate virtue."

Gu Qijue's sharp eyes said calmly: "Your Highness, instead of mocking me, you should carefully consider the advice of the king."

"King Feng Ran has evil ambitions. One day he will become a traitor to Da Qi."

Seeing Gu Qijue's solemn and decisive expression, A Bao suddenly chuckled.

In her previous life, everyone reminded her all the time that the Northern Frontier Cavalry was powerful, Xuanyuan Fengran was so powerful that he threatened his master, and he had evil ambitions and could replace her at any time.

But in the end, Gu Qijue was the traitor of Da Qi, and Gu Qijue played an indispensable role in Pei Guichen's success in usurping the throne of Da Qi.

Thinking of this, A Bao sneered coldly and slowly approached Gu Qijue.

Until, she stood in front of Gu Qijue.

The two were so close that they could even hear each other's breathing.

Ah Bao suddenly raised his eyes, and his gentle eyes smiled brightly, "Eunuch Su's confession with bloody handprints was submitted by Commander Gu."

"But the confession said that his master behind the scenes was Pei Jili. It was Pei Jili who intervened in the witchcraft palace riot of the eldest brother and the treason of the third brother."

"Commander Gu, do you believe it?"

Gu Qijue's face was grim.

A Bao approached again, his cold gaze like a sharp blade, slowly slashing across Gu Qijue's neck, "Commander Gu, the third imperial concubine was given poisoned wine and died tragically in the palace."

"If it weren't for Pei Jili from the Pei family who instigated my Third Brother to rebel, the Third Princess wouldn't have to die."

Knowing that Pei Guichen was the culprit, A Bao didn't want to expose it.

She stopped talking and stepped back suddenly, looking at Gu Qijue with a sneer, "Commander Gu, thank you for your reminder today, and I will repay you in the future."

After saying this, Abao turned and left.

Passing through high walls again, a low howling of wind could be heard overhead.

The high walls of the West Prison, built of black stone, kept shaking, causing A Bao to feel anxious again.

She was afraid that the high wall would collapse and she would be buried deep underground.

Just like in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Abao couldn't help but quicken her pace. When she reached the last two or three floors, she even lifted her skirt and ran wildly between the high black stone walls.

After running for an unknown amount of time, A Bao was out of breath when he finally saw a cluster of light at the end of the long, dark corridor.

In that cluster of light, stood a tall figure as still as a mountain.

A Bao ran straight towards the figure. The man in the light held a black umbrella in one hand and opened the other hand to hold her tightly.

She put her arms around his waist, buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Uncle, that day in the Xuanshi Hall, my father personally interrogated me."

"My father asked you what you were doing in Baiyujing that night. How did you know the answer I arranged for you? I was curious about Baiyujing and begged you to accompany me to take a look."

Xuanyuan Fengran did not answer.

In the blizzard, he held an umbrella, held Po's hand, and turned to leave the West Prison.

It was not until they walked far away and could gradually see the gate of the East Palace that Xuanyuan Fengran said, "The trip to Bai Yujing was your secret plan."

"Even if you are hiding something, you must have your reasons."

"Uncle Huang just took a gamble."

"My little Abao's concealment is protection."
