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

Holding the jade button tightly in his palm again, A Bao raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Lanheng.

"This jade button means a lot to me."

"Please send it back as it is, Zhang Shaoqing. Thank you very much."

After saying this, A Bao hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhang Lanheng, and said seriously: "If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me, Zhang Shaoqing."

Zhang Lanheng seemed to be deep in thought and actually had many questions to ask.

But his eyes flickered slightly, and he finally said, "Jing Chen has entered the palace."

A Bao held the jade button of peace, "Yes."

Thinking that Zhang Lanheng was worried about his brother, A Bao comforted him, "Your brother lives in Mingguang Palace, and the palace master is the prince of Zhenxi. This prince of Zhenxi is cheerful and kind. At least in Mingguang Palace, there will be no secret harm or intrigue."

Caught off guard, Zhang Lanheng asked, "Why did Your Highness choose Jing Chen in the first place?"

"Is it because of the Zhang family? Or is it because His Highness is interested in Jing Chen?"

"What does Zhang Shaoqing think?"

A Bao was thoughtful and asked in return, but Zhang Lanheng did not answer directly.

He looked at Abao with complicated eyes.

There was a dead silence between the two of them.

After a while, Zhang Lanheng's eyes were complicated, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Rumor has it that His Highness fell in love with Master Pei at first sight."

"But after the construction of Jinghu Cottage, I have never believed in rumors."

Once these words were spoken, it was as if the final word had been spoken.

Zhang Lanheng continued, "Spreading the rumor that Master Pei is the prince's favorite is putting Master Pei at the center of public opinion. But putting Master Pei in a position of a mere concubine..."

"This move is obviously intended to allow the former and the harem's open and secret attacks to run rampant."

Upon hearing this, A Bao's eyes darkened and he looked at Zhang Lanheng and asked back.

"so?"

Zhang Lanheng stood in the swaying bamboo forest.

The sun was dim, the water was clear, and the wind was gentle, but he seemed lonely.

After a long silence, Zhang Lanheng seemed to be thinking about something, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He asked, "Who does Your Highness really want to protect?"

"Thank you, young marquis? Prince Xiao? Or Prince Zhao?"

Meanwhile, not far away.

Xuanyuan Fengran rubbed the silver-black ring on his ring finger vigorously.

Xiao Yunzheng, who was standing opposite Xuanyuan Fengran, still had a dull expression on his face, but the fists clenched silently in his sleeves showed that he was obviously nervous.

A Bao had no idea that Xuanyuan Fengran and Xiao Yunzheng were both there at this moment.

"I do have someone in my heart."

"When I was still young and ignorant, I liked to follow him and ask him to play with me. But even though I was so willful and spoiled, he still indulged me."

"I like rural anecdotes and strange stories, so he searched for them everywhere."

"Any little thing I mentioned casually, he would remember it and do it for me."

"Later, I felt he would harm me, and we drifted apart."

“This was a big mistake I made.”

"But, he is that person..."

"He's the nicest guy in the world."

Ah Bao's eyes were slightly hot, and he chuckled in a tearful voice, "For many, many years, I have been getting further and further away from him, and my treatment of him has become increasingly cold."

"But one day, I was desperate and helpless, and I looked back and saw him behind me."

Recalling everything that happened when he was just reborn, Po smiled with tears in his eyes.

She thought that it would take a lot of effort to win back Xuanyuan Fengran, but as soon as she started to show her kindness, Xuanyuan Fengran became the imperial uncle who had indulged her at the risk of his life.

"In all these years, I never looked back once."

“But he kept following me.”

"As long as I turn back, I don't even have to retrace my steps to find him."

"As soon as I reach out my hands, he will open them and take me into his arms for protection."

Suddenly it started to rain heavily.

Looking from afar, the sky and the earth were shrouded in a vast curtain of rain, and it was all gray.

Beside the stream, Zhang Lanheng suddenly chuckled, vaguely mocking himself.

And in the dark of the bamboo forest not far away——

After hearing what A Bao said, Xuanyuan Fengran's dark and deep eyes warmed up, he lowered his eyes and smiled, and even the sharp lines of his profile became much gentler.

Xiao Yunzheng, who was standing opposite Xuanyuan Fengran, turned pale.

At this time, Zhang Lanheng spoke slowly.

"In this case, I would like to discuss a business with Your Highness."

Zhang Lanheng said: "I am willing to devote all the strength of the Zhang family of Donghai to help Your Highness create a prosperous era."

"When the seas are clear and the rivers are calm, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace, I have only one request, please, Princess, save Jingchen's life."

Ah Bao looked directly at Zhang Lanheng and teased, "Zhang Shaoqing really knows your brother's ambition."

"Jing Chen is interested in the power of the crown prince, not Your Highness Princess." Zhang Lanheng did not shy away from the truth and said frankly, "Your Highness Princess, you are an extraordinary person. Jing Chen misjudged your determination and is destined to be a different person from you."

After a pause, Zhang Lanheng continued: "I have tried to persuade Jing Chen, but to no avail."

"Therefore, I can only protect him in my own way."

"What if I don't agree?" A Bao chuckled and asked, "Will Zhang Shaoqing not help?"

"I will still help." Having said this, Zhang Lanheng said frankly: "Ever since I heard about what Her Royal Highness the Princess did to Old Lu Xin, I have thought that if the future Lord of Daqi is Her Royal Highness the Princess, I am willing to do my best to serve you."

"Since you are going to help anyway, why should I make a deal with you?" A Bao deliberately tried to scare Zhang Lanheng.

As expected, Zhang Lanheng was helpless.

Seeing this scene, A Bao's smile deepened, "Zhang Lanheng, I promise you."
