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

While drinking tea, Abao examined the four people in the private room without leaving a trace.

Arrange Lao Sun to bring up old things again and spread rumors everywhere.

In this matter, who is the mastermind behind the scenes among Gu Qijue, Xiao Jingyue, Zhang Lanheng and Pei Guichen?

Suddenly, Pei Guichen noticed her scrutiny and looked towards her.

His eyes were cold, but he seemed to see through her.

A Bao suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when Pei Guichen gave her the bowl of sesame and pine nut dumplings, he not only mentioned the first time he and her met in the dilapidated temple, but also mentioned another thing.

A few months after the separation in the ruined temple——

In a restaurant near Bailu Academy, Pei Guichen once heard a rumor that Her Royal Highness the Princess had brought disgrace upon the royal family, was dissolute and shameless, and had seduced a teacher from Bailu Academy.

At that time, Pei Guichen defended her and even had an argument with the people at the next table.

At this moment, it feels like the past is happening again.

It was the same restaurant, the same rumors and false accusations.

Coming back to his senses, A Bao looked at Pei Guichen's left hand.

The knife wound on the back of his left hand, which has never been healed, was caused at that time.

If you say you are moved by Pei Guichen's trust in you?

Po doesn't have it.

At this moment, she suspected even more that Old Sun was spreading rumors because of Pei Guichen's handiwork.

Xiao Jingyue had already finished half of the tea when she asked the waiter where the bathroom was.

The restaurant waiter immediately and attentively led the way.

A Bao seemed to be thinking about something, then he stood up and left the private room.

There was nothing unusual at first.

Xiao Jingyue entered the bathroom as usual, remained alone, and then left the bathroom.

A Bao thought he was overthinking, so he just walked around. He happened to be curious about the old tree in the backyard, so he stopped.

Although the old tree in the backyard is almost dead and rotten, it still stands.

But what made Abao feel familiar was the thick vines that were wrapped around the entire old tree.

A Bao leaned in closer and smelled a strange odor.

After much thought, Abao suddenly had an idea.

She took off the silver hairpin from her hair, unfolded her handkerchief, and gently brushed away some of the green moss covering the tree trunk.

After wrapping the handkerchief carefully, she put it into her sleeve.

When it comes to identifying plants, we still have to ask Dr. Zhang to do a careful examination.

Just when Abao had made some progress and was about to return to the private room on the second floor——

Old Sun sneaked into the backyard bathroom in a thieving manner, and when he came out, he was holding a heavy bag of silver in his hand.

A Bao recognized the brocade used to sew the lotus bag; it belonged to Xiao Jingyue.

Hiding his figure behind an old tree that was so thick that two people could hug it, A Bao raised his hand to call over the scouts from Western Frontier and gave them a few silent instructions.

A quarter of an hour later, in the bathroom at the backyard of the restaurant.

Old Sun was pushed into the pit by the scouts from Western Xinjiang according to A Bao's instructions.

Ah Bao covered his face with his folding fan and chuckled coldly, "Tell me, why did Xiao Jingyue give you money?"

Old Sun was still swearing and stubborn, trying to keep the secret for Xiao Jingyue.

Ah Bao had no patience and said coldly, "Jia Si, cut off one of his fingers."

Upon receiving the order, the Western Frontier scout Jia Si raised his sword and slashed, blood splattering everywhere.

Lao Sun's fingers rolled down, but because a cloth strip was stuffed in his mouth, even his screams were muted.

A Bao waved his folding fan lightly, his smile deepening, "Aren't you going to tell me yet?"

Old Sun, who was collapsed beside the manure pit and twitching all over, nodded repeatedly with a pale face.

But at this moment, A Bao seemed not to see it and continued to chuckle: "Since you won't tell me, Jia Si, cut off another finger of his."

After hearing this, Lao Sun’s face turned pale and he squirmed like a maggot to get closer to Abao.

A Bao stepped back in disgust, then sneered, "Want to say it?"

Upon hearing this, Old Sun nodded rapidly.

Seeing this, Abao signaled to Scout Jia Si to loosen the cloth from Lao Sun's mouth.

She warned him coldly, "If you dare to lie, you will lose the remaining nine fingers and your tongue that spreads rumors and misleads people."

Old Sun felt extremely regretful as he felt the excruciating pain of having his finger severed.

Back then, Xiao Jingyue made a sinister plot.

However, even if there is no evidence to prove that it was Xiao Jingyue who framed her, Her Royal Highness the Princess can just put the blame on Zhang Lanheng and say that it was all Zhang Lanheng's instigation.

Her Royal Highness the Princess will be fine.

Such a simple and easy choice, but Her Royal Highness the Princess gave it up.

Old Sun originally thought that this princess looked kind and was someone who was easy to bully.

Unexpectedly, this time he finally saw that those who could survive and grow up in the palace were not good men and women.
