At first, all the guests at the banquet thought it was part of a Nuo opera, even the imperial guards patrolling outside the Summer Palace thought so.

Because of a single thought, the actors in white were actually allowed to attend the banquet at the Summer Palace.

Ah Bao looked calm, having already signaled the East Palace guards with her eyes, and she watched coldly as the actor in white got closer and closer to the old emperor.

The old emperor was completely unaware of this and was even looking forward to whether the white-robed Bodhisattva in the Nuo opera would bow down and kneel before him, the Supreme Lord of Great Qi.

A Bao silently counted the dance steps of the white-clad actor. There were only ten steps left.

A Bao knew that the old emperor was suspicious. If she took the initiative, the old emperor would probably suspect that she was behind the assassination after the assassination by the white-clad actor was over.

Abao kept silent.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

The actress in white revealed the arrow hidden in her sleeve and aimed it at the old emperor's forehead without hesitation.

No one expected this life-and-death moment.

Only A Bao stood up suddenly, picked up the wine jug at hand, and smashed it hard at the actor in white.

The actor in white was hit on the head by a wine jug, causing him to pause slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a silver chopstick pierced her wrist bone like a sharp arrow, knocking the sleeve arrow out of her hand.

She tilted her head to look towards where the wine jug came from, and knew at a glance that Abao had recognized her early on.

Therefore, there is no chance of success for this assassination tonight.

When she thought of the failed ending, the actress in white turned around and was about to commit suicide with the knife in her sleeve, but with a ding, another silver chopstick knocked the knife out of her hand.

A Bao looked at Xuanyuan Fengran who was attacking from the side and said admiringly: "Uncle Emperor is so mighty and brave! Awesome!"

Xuanyuan Fengran indulged the little girl's nonsense and reminded her in a deep voice: "Why don't you go and do your business?"

A Bao nodded obediently, then looked at the actor in white clothes who was in the middle of the banquet. He had been tied up and forced to kneel on the ground by the Royal Guards who swarmed in.

On the throne, the old emperor was in a panic, and Concubine Wen was comforting him gently and patiently.

A Bao looked calm as he walked up to the actor in white and leaned over to remove the compassionate Bodhisattva mask from the actor.

The next moment, Qi Niang's face, which looked like a skeleton, was revealed with half of her face made up.

All the guests at the banquet gasped one after another.

A Bao looked down at Qi Niang who was being forced to kneel on the ground, "Why did you want to try this assassination when you knew there was only a 40% chance of success?"

Qi Niang raised her ferocious half face and sneered, "Your Highness, you lose."

Upon hearing this, A Bao was stern and asked in a cold voice, "What is your real plan?"

Qi Niang was pleased with herself and laughed sarcastically, "Your Highness, you are so capable, why don't you try to guess? But I am sure that you will never be able to guess my true purpose in your lifetime."

A Bao frowned slightly and turned to look at the old emperor.

"Father, please hand her over to me. I will be able to judge her for you."

But the old emperor, whose face turned pale with fear, was anxiously looking for Gu Qijue.

As soon as Gu Qijue, who had rushed over after hearing the news, appeared, the old emperor specifically asked to hand Qiniang over to him, and completely ignored Abao's existence.

Standing in the middle of the banquet, Abao silently clenched his fists in his sleeves.

Qi Niang was handed over to Gu Qijue. The result of this interrogation would most likely be the same as that of Eunuch Su - Pei Guichen was cleared of all charges and had nothing to do with the cause and effect.

But Abao couldn't stop Gu Qijue from taking Qiniang away.

Before leaving, Qinnan sneered strangely and stared at Abao, mocking him silently.

Ah Bao's cold gaze was always on Qiniang, but he could only helplessly watch as Qiniang was dragged out of the Summer Palace.

At this time, Eunuch Desheng came in hurriedly and handed a memorial to the old emperor.

The old emperor opened the memorial and his pale face turned gloomy.

Abao guessed that it was related to the severe snowstorms in recent days.

Sure enough, the old emperor waved his hand for her to come forward and handed the memorial to her.

A Bao opened the memorial and found out that there was a poor village called Xipin in the western suburbs outside the imperial capital. Due to the severe snowstorms in recent days, countless people were killed and injured, and the whole place was in mourning.

Originally, a village was hit by a snowstorm, but it didn’t reach the emperor’s ears directly.

It's just that Xipin Village has a special origin, so the prefect of the imperial capital submitted a memorial to the old emperor, requesting him to send capable people to Xipin Village to deal with the villagers' problems caused by the heavy snow.

A Bao knew the origin of Naxipin Village, and this was definitely a tough job.

But when the old emperor handed her the memorial, it was clearly about the snowstorm that had hit Xipin Village, and the old emperor wanted her to handle it.

In fact, this was exactly what she had originally thought, but since she was going to intervene in the thorny affairs of Xipin Village, she had to take the opportunity to ask for mercy from the old emperor.

A Bao slowly read the memorial from the governor of the imperial capital, his mind turned over a lot, and finally he bowed.

"Father, I am willing to go as ordered." Then, A Bao said with difficulty, "But I am powerless. If I want to do this, can I ask for your permission to let Uncle Feng Ran accompany me?"
