Upon hearing this, A Bao was stunned for a long time, and in the end, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.

At the beginning, she wanted to use Xuanyuan Wu to deal with Pei Guichen, so she tried to persuade Xuanyuan Wu to tell the truth and report Pei Guichen to the old emperor. In view of the brother-sister relationship when they were young, she wanted to spare Xuanyuan Wu's life and ask him to atone for his sins in another way.

So before the old emperor poisoned Xuanyuan Wu, that bowl of dumplings was the only thing she could do to ensure that Xuanyuan Wu had enough to eat before continuing on his journey.

But unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Wu was still alive.

Moreover, he used the so-called reason of 'there was someone else helping him secretly' to buy a glimmer of hope, and joined forces with Pei Guichen to escape again.

A Bao listened to the distant camp assembly horns, the sound of which pierced the clouds and split the rocks, deafening.

She originally thought that once Xuanyuan Wu died, the rebellion in Liangshan camp would not happen.

Unexpectedly, although it happened several months earlier, in the end it was still the same as in the previous life, and it was destined that Xuanyuan Wu would instigate the rebellion in the Liangshan camp.

The sound of the horn in the camp became more and more exciting. A Bao turned and looked in the direction of the Liangshan camp, only to see flames shooting into the sky and thundering war drums.

Fifty thousand elite soldiers are gathering.

Xuanyuan Wu's departure this time was like a dragon entering the sea, causing a bloody storm in an instant.

A Bao once again looked at Pei Guichen, who was standing silently in the shadows, independent of the crowd and the fire. Unexpectedly, Pei Guichen was still looking at her.

In the dark night, fires flickered. In the shack filled with the strong smell of corpses and blood, Pei Guichen was clean as a beacon.

He is still as graceful as an orchid and a jade tree, with a cool and outstanding demeanor.

A Bao was filled with indignation. "The rebellion broke out suddenly. The shacks are closest to the Liangshan camp and will be the first to be destroyed by the iron hoofs and swords of the rebellion."

"I am here to provide disaster relief under the order of the emperor. I will stay here and will not go anywhere!"

Gu Qijue's cold eyes passed over A Bao and fell on Pei Guichen who was in the shadows in the distance.

"Your Highness, His Majesty's decree—"

"Someone with evil ambitions impersonated the King Wu who had burned himself to death three years ago, and colluded with the Liangshan Camp Commander Fan Jin, and sent the dancer Qi Niang into the palace to assassinate him. He intended to commit treason and cannot escape the death penalty."

"For this reason, I have specially ordered Imperial Academy Scholar Pei Shidu to suppress the rebellion."

"What did you say?!"

A Bao frowned in shock. When did Pei Guichen become a Hanlin scholar?

But as soon as this question was asked, a light bulb suddenly lit up in A Bao's mind, and he understood as if he had been enlightened: this imperial edict was the ultimate plan that Pei Guichen had painstakingly planned.

First of all, Xuanyuan Wu saw that Pei Guichen helped him escape from the Western Prison. Regardless of whether Xuanyuan Wu still trusted Pei Guichen, at least Xuanyuan Wu felt that Pei Guichen could still be used, so Xuanyuan Wu would not easily report Pei Guichen's identity to the old emperor.

In this way——

In order to win her attention and get close to her, Pei Guichen used her as a stepping stone to pave the way for him to become the supreme ruler.

Pei Guichen was even willing to risk his life to act out a scene of blocking the sword and saving lives.

So, in order to win the old emperor's trust, Pei Guichen.

Pei Guichen also used Xuanyuan Wu without hesitation. When Xuanyuan Wu rebelled, he informed the old emperor, and then led troops to suppress the rebellion and killed Xuanyuan Wu.

After tonight, no one in this world will be able to use the truth about the chaos in the Witchcraft Palace to threaten Pei Guichen.

A Bao was full of confusion, but now he had the most appropriate answer.

She looked at Pei Guichen in the shadows and couldn't help but sigh that Xuanyuan Wu's escape from the Western Region water prison tonight was truly a brilliant move by Pei Guichen.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, A Bao couldn't help but think of Xuanyuan Wu's eyes. In the firelight, his eyes were so dark that no one could see the bottom of the eyes.

Does Xuanyuan Wu know that Pei Guichen has other plans?

He used Xuanyuan Wu's life to gain great merit for Pei Guichen himself.

Did Xuanyuan Wu know that he was deceived by Pei Guichen?

A chill ran down A Bao's spine, and his hands were shaking with anger.

Pei Guichen finally walked out of the shadow of the shack and took the imperial edict from Gu Qijue.

A Bao stared at the imperial edict with a black background and gold threads in Pei Guichen's hand, and was speechless for a long time.

Until Pei Guichen walked towards her slowly and stood in front of her.

"It is not advisable to stay here for long. Your Highness is precious and you should return to the palace first."

Pei Guichen was still the modest gentleman, and said, "Your Highness, please do not worry too much. I will do my best to bring the head of the traitor who pretended to be the King Wu to you, Your Highness."
