Po looked at them in the light of the fire.

Xiao Jingyue sat beside the broken wall and gently lifted the corner of her skirt. Pei Guichen took off her shoes and socks for her and rubbed her ankles with his palms.

The knee-deep snow reflected the cold light, Xiao Jingyue stared at Pei Guichen with bright eyes and white teeth, showing the shy smile of a little girl. When Pei Guichen looked up at Xiao Jingyue, his usually cold eyes actually showed warmth.

There is also a rare tenderness.

Suddenly, Abao's eyes went dark.

It turned out that Xuanyuan Fengran covered her eyes with his hand.

And he was behind her, his voice hoarse: "Don't look, it hurts your eyes."

Ah Bao pulled down Xuanyuan Fengran's hand that was covering her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Love between a man and a woman, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, a pair destined by earth."

“Very interesting.”

As he spoke, Po finally understood.

Xiao Jingyue, who did not enter the palace, originally came to the shack with Pei Guichen.

But what she cares more about at the moment is that Qi Niang pretended to be an actor to assassinate the old emperor. How much does Pei Guichen know?

This thought weighed on Bao's heart like a huge rock.

What made Abao even more suspicious was why Pei Guichen came to this shack on New Year's Eve?

With a heavy heart, A Bao withdrew his gaze from Pei Guichen and instead looked around the poor shack in the west that was affected by the snowstorm.

The shacks and caves have become ruins after being destroyed by heavy snow for days. The houses buried deep in the snow are broken and collapsed. The air is filled with the smell of rotting corpses that even the cold wind cannot blow away, and there are faint wailing screams in the cold wind.

Abao felt very uncomfortable and quickly quickened his pace.

But after walking two or three steps, she stopped again and looked at Prefect Cheng who was following closely beside her.

"Mr. Cheng, you just wait here. There's no need to follow me."

Prefect Cheng was nervous and worried, "This West Poor Shack has a complicated population, and there is no guarantee that there are criminals hiding there who are committing crimes and are extremely vicious. Your Highness, if you don't let me accompany you, what will happen if something goes wrong?"

Upon hearing this, A Bao grabbed the corner of Xuanyuan Fengran's clothes.

She said to Cheng Fuyin, "My uncle is here."

Xuanyuan Fengran raised his thin lips in a slight arc, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, the emperor's uncle is here."

Prefect Cheng: “?” What’s going on with this inexplicable feeling of being redundant, old minister?

A Bao felt warm at heart when he received the response from his uncle Feng Ran.

She thought about it, and then simply explained to Prefect Cheng, "This poor shack in the west has been distrusting the imperial officials for decades. If I and you, Prefect Cheng, show up, the villagers will probably suspect that tonight is our chance to take their lives while they are suffering from the disaster."

"When the time comes, if we really fight to the death, it will definitely cause even bigger trouble."

Prefect Cheng suddenly understood, "No wonder Your Highness asked everyone to change into casual clothes when we set out from the government office. But if that's the case, who should be credited for this relief tonight?"

A Bao chuckled and said directly: "Look, my uncle is here."

Xuanyuan Fengran lowered his eyes helplessly, but the slight curve at the corner of his lips was always indulgent.

But Prefect Cheng was startled, and glanced at the awe-inspiring black-robed King Tu Fengran, and said hurriedly, "I have something to report to Your Highness alone, could Your Highness please move aside?"

A Bao knew what Prefect Cheng was worried about.

If tonight's relief was carried out under the banner of King Feng Ran, then the villagers in Xipin Woshan would certainly be grateful for King Feng Ran's kindness.

By then, there will be another group of supporters of King Feng Ran.

But when A Bao petitioned the old emperor to bring King Feng Ran along to provide disaster relief, he had already made up his mind that in the end all the credit would go to Xuanyuan Feng Ran.

This will be beneficial for Xuanyuan Fengran to return to the battlefield in the future.
