After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

A Bao was stunned, his heart trembling, "What if I lose the bet?"

Xuanyuan Fengran held an umbrella with one hand to block the snow, and the little girl paused, turned around in disbelief, and asked again.

"What if you lose the bet, uncle?"

A Bao was at a loss, "That night in the Xuanshi Hall, weren't you worried that I was hiding my plan and was actually plotting against you? You said you knew nothing, but you fell into my trap."

Xuanyuan Fengran looked down at Abao with a deep look in his eyes.

A Bao stared at Xuanyuan Fengran. They were in the midst of a violent snowstorm. Her skirt and his robe sleeves were rustling in the wind.

After a long silence, Xuanyuan Fengran held up a black umbrella and raised his hand to pinch Abao's little face.

"But, the emperor's uncle won the bet in the end." Suddenly, he chuckled softly, "After leaving Xuanshi Palace, you arrogantly warned the emperor's uncle not to get hurt and to stay alive."

Abao tried hard to hold back his tears.

Taking a gamble actually means that the man has put his life in her hands. He doesn't care about life or death and lets her decide.

The corners of A Bao's eyes gradually turned red. "Since the emperor's uncle still remembers that I am very arrogant, then you must do what you promised."

Before she finished her words, Xuanyuan Fengran reached out and rubbed her head.

"Your Highness, I will work hard to live a long and healthy life."

This serious answer, coupled with the four words "live a long life", hit A Bao's heart hard, and she burst into tears in pain.

She wiped away her tears fiercely and warned: "Uncle, you are not allowed to lie to me!"

Xuanyuan Fengran wanted to hug Abao, who looked aggrieved, into his arms, but he saw Concubine Wen standing in front of the East Palace behind Abao.

Amid the heavy snow and wind, it was difficult to discern Concubine Wen's expression.

But Xuanyuan Fengran knew clearly what Concubine Wen meant. He could only lower his eyes helplessly and laughed at himself sadly.

"It's too cold. Uncle Emperor, please go back with you to the palace to have a bowl of hot soup."

"Wait a moment. Uncle, I have something very important to tell you."

A Bao stood in front of Xuanyuan Fengran with a serious look.

The wind roared in her ears, and in the heavy snow, she looked at Xuanyuan Fengran who was holding an umbrella to shield her from the snow.

After a moment of silence, A Bao confessed, "Uncle Feng Ran, I hid the fact that I went to Baiyujing to arrest my fifth brother from you because I really wanted to keep you away from this dirty business."

The hot air she exhaled turned into a white mist, blurring her vision, but her tone was exceptionally firm, "I'm plotting against Pei Guichen."

Xuanyuan Fengran understood clearly, "Uncle knows."

After saying this, Abao looked shocked.

Xuanyuan Fengran had a faint smile on his sharp lips as he slowly explained, "You knew the whereabouts of King Wu and arranged for Xie Wuai to capture King Wu. But that night, you also invited Pei Guichen to meet you in Baiyujing, so that he could witness the capture of King Wu who had faked his death."

Po nodded in astonishment, "That's right."

Xuanyuan Fengran continued, "That morning, after the interrogation, outside the Xuanshi Hall, Pei Guichen said that it was Xiao Yunzheng who leaked the whereabouts of the King to you."

Having said that, Xuanyuan Fengran raised his thin lips and smiled, showing helpless doting.

"If Pei Guichen saw you shopping at the New Year's Market, you would be so angry that you would bid a higher price with Xiao Yunzheng for a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

"Then Pei Guichen should know that he has been misled."

When A Bao heard Xuanyuan Fengran mention the box of osmanthus sugar cake that she bought at a high price, and thought of her own childishness at that time, she felt embarrassed and her face turned red.

"Please, uncle, don't mention that again."

Xuanyuan Fengran's smile deepened as he continued to explain slowly, "It was clearly a misleading statement. Why was Pei Guichen so sure of it? Because you were the one who misled him, but he thought you wouldn't lie to him."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Fengran asked the girl in front of him, "Why do you want to sow discord between Xiao Yunzheng and Pei Guichen?"

Just as A Bao was about to answer, Xuanyuan Fengran had already told him his guess.

"Because Xiao and Pei must be enemies and cannot form an alliance."

"But why are you worried about Xiao and Pei forming an alliance?"

Xuanyuan Fengran looked directly into A Bao's eyes, which were as bright and warm as stars, and expressed his long-standing confusion, "Xiao Yunzheng is the famous prince of Jiangnan, and Pei Guichen is a young master of an aristocratic family who is gradually declining. Power, money, or fame, which one of them can make it possible for Xiao Yunzheng and Pei Guichen to form an alliance?"
