Leaning against the window frame, Abao teased the little tiger cub who was lying on the windowsill basking in the sun.

After thinking for a long time, she told Lu Lang, "Call the little servant in."

The little servant boy was thin and weak.

As soon as he entered the inner palace tea garden, he knelt down in front of A Bao who was lying on the soft couch and cried miserably: "Please, Princess! Please save our concubine!!"

The lazily sleeping little tiger cub was awakened by the cry and yawned with half-eyes.

Po thought the little guy was so adorable that he couldn't help pinching his soft little paws. Then the little guy jumped into Po's arms, wagging his tail happily.

A Bao stuffed it with a piece of mutton jerky, and drank a cup of hot ginseng tea slowly. Only then did he look at the kneeling little servant and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

The little servant boy cried, "Yesterday, Lin Jun invited Yang Jun and our Jun to his courtyard to dry books and appreciate paintings. Everything was fine at first, but in the afternoon, Lin Jun said that our Jun stole his paintings."

"Painting? Which painting?"

"Your Highness, it is the Imperial Treasure Book of the Han Palace."

As soon as he heard it was the Han Palace Treasure Book, Abao understood.

Lin Rongjin had put a lot of thought into accusing Pei Guichen of stealing things, such as gold, silver, jade and other things. Although Pei Guichen now lived in the remote place of Xinlan Pavilion, the Huainan Pei family was not so poor that the Pei family members would steal money.

But the Han Palace Treasures are different.

The little servant boy was still crying softly, "Lord Lin wanted to search the house, but we refused. Lord Lin even pushed us. We have been very ill lately, and this push caused our left arm to be fractured again."

"Your Highness! They are such bullies!"

Hearing this, A Bao motioned for Lu Lang to come closer and whispered a few words in her ear.

Lu Lang understood the order and said yes, then left in a hurry.

Finally, Abao gave Hongxiu some instructions again.

"Go to the palace gate to greet him. When you see my uncle, invite him to Xinlan Pavilion."

Having served Abao for several years, Hongxiu knew that someone was about to be in big trouble every time she saw Abao acting in such a pretentious manner like a princess.

All the way to Xinlan Pavilion——

The little servant boy was so anxious that he wanted to urge Her Royal Highness the Princess to hurry up.

However, Po teased the little tiger cub in his arms while walking slowly on purpose, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the blooming flowers along the way.

The corridor that was supposed to only take two or three quarters of an hour ended up taking more than an hour.

As soon as he stepped into Xinlan Pavilion, A Bao saw Pei Guichen standing alone on the stone steps in front of the house.

He was frighteningly thin, and his pale face looked extremely haggard.

Although the sun is shining brightly at this moment, it cannot shine into this remote courtyard. The bluestone slabs are covered with green moss, and the doors and windows appear extremely shabby.

Well, I feel relieved to see that Pei Guichen is not doing well.

A Bao once again looked at the palace maids who were silent as a mouse, and the concubines Lin Rongjin and Yang Sishan, who had different expressions on their faces.

After a moment's silence, she walked straight through them and came in front of Pei Guichen.

Holding back his disgust, A Bao raised his hand and touched his forehead. "Although the weather is clear and sunny, you shouldn't wear so little. If you catch a late spring cold, you'll know how painful it is when you take medicine every day."

Abao said this in a light tone.

However, Pei Guichen's eyes instantly turned red, "I thought you didn't care anymore."

At this moment, A Bao actually felt that she saw the shadow of Pei Guichen from her previous life.

But when she looked carefully, she saw that he was coughing violently. His coughing was so severe that it even caused the wound on his left arm to bleed, a bright red color that was eye-catching.

There was silence.

A Bao's eyes dimmed.

She looked at his increasingly pale face and turned to ask the head female official of Linhua Palace.

"Where's the imperial doctor?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have sent someone to invite him."

Hearing this, A Bao looked at Pei Guichen again. Pei Guichen was obviously the taller one, but he was looking at her with his head lowered, and his eyes seemed particularly cautious.

It was as if he was afraid that she was just a dream and would disappear from his sight if he wasn't careful.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, A Bao broke out in a cold sweat.

Am I blind? Or am I crazy?!

Is Pei Guichen crazy?
