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

Late at night, Abao returned to the palace.

There was only the dim candlelight in the hall, illuminating the dark shadows of the mountains and forests through the windows.

It was very quiet, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

Xie Wuai held the oil lamp.

A Bao half-knelt in front of the lotus seat made of three layers of white jade, groping carefully, until after a while, she finally touched a groove.

Po bit his finger, and the groove was filled with blood.

In a flash, the jade bars of the lotus pedestal began to spin rapidly, moving forward and backward, and finally a secret passage appeared under the golden Buddha statue in the treasure hall that was several meters tall. The secret passage was so deep and bottomless that the sound of dripping water could be heard occasionally. No one knew where it led to.

A Bao and Xie Wuai, brother and sister, looked at each other, and entered the secret passage one after the other in tacit understanding.

At the same time, the palace door opened again and wind and rain poured in.

A dark shadow followed closely behind and also entered the secret passage.

A Bao and Xie Wuai, brother and sister, were in front, and a dark shadow was behind them not far away. After passing through a secret road that seemed to have many twists and turns, they found a stone cave at the end.

The furnishings of the stone cave were no different from those of the dormitory, but the black shadow slowly became aware that, starting from the secret passage, the entire stone cave was filled with a mild white fragrant mist.

But the shadow hiding in the dark saw Abao entering the secret passage late at night just to read a book.

Xie Wuai, on the other hand, was flipping through ancient books and demonstrating his boxing skills.

The oil lamp gradually went out and it was already late night in the cave.

The dark figure in the darkness showed no signs of fainting, nor did it intend to leave.

A Bao couldn't help it finally, he stood up and walked to a sandalwood shelf of antique books in the cave.

Because of the angle, the shadow couldn’t see Po.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and turned around abruptly.

Caught off guard, Po's sight collided with the black shadow.

The man had a cool and elegant appearance, and a frosty satin robe with dark golden cloud patterns. He looked elegant and gentle, like the bright moon and the gentle breeze as he stood in front of her.

He had no guilt about being discovered while following, and he bowed calmly, holding a jade fan in his hand.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

In the silent stone cave, A Bao stared silently at Pei Guichen who bowed.

In just a short moment, her mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.

Then, A Bao pretended to be surprised: "Since we are outside the palace, there is no need to be polite. But Mr. Pei, it is late at night, why are you here?"

Pei Guichen's pair of beautiful cold eyes smiled harmlessly, "I have been quite interested in Buddhist philosophy recently. It is rare for me to leave the palace and come to Jishou Mountain. I want to come to this palace again tonight and recite Buddhist scriptures to pray for Your Highness."

"I never thought that I would 'accidentally' meet His Highness."

"I was worried that something might happen to Your Highness, so I followed him."

After giving a reasonable explanation, Pei Guichen smiled meaningfully: "But, where is this place? How could it attract His Highness to come here——"

After a pause, Pei Guichen hinted, "Late at night? Reading?"

This man's smile was as gentle as jade.

Ah Bao felt a chill running down his spine.

In fact, she had always suspected that Pei Guichen was also reincarnated, but she had no evidence.

But she also felt that whether Pei Guichen was reborn would not hinder her plans.

So she decided that she must completely and firmly control Pei Guichen in her own hands.

Pei Guichen's swordsmanship is at the grandmaster level.

If she wanted to imprison Pei Guichen, she could not use force.

The Huainan Pei family's gaze has always been lurking in the dark, so she has to act in secret.

After much thought, A Bao finally chose the best place to imprison Pei Guichen.

——The stone cave under the golden Buddha statue in the main hall of Zhenguo Temple.

The stone cave is located in the middle of a cliff hundreds of feet high. The side close to the cliff and the mountain stream is embedded with window panes made of special secret iron. Not to mention that the top of the cliff is rarely visited by people. It is a forbidden area of ​​Jishou Mountain, and the bottom of the cliff is filled with green miasma all year round.

Once imprisoned, Pei Guichen would be unable to escape.

A Bao had been planning all this tonight since the round-faced little palace maid turned against him and made a deal with A Bao. The first step was for the little palace maid to tell Pei Guichen that during this visit to Jishou Mountain to worship Buddha, A Bao planned to secretly take away the treasure map from the Buddha statue in Zhenguo Temple.

Sure enough, the treasure map bait released by Abao lured Pei Guichen to follow her into the secret passage, and he was led by her all the way into the cave.

In A Bao's plan, she lit the fat-condensing beads in advance, and the white fragrant mist filled the entire stone cave. She and Xie Wuai took the water-green beads made with the secret method of ancient books, and moved freely in the fragrant mist.

As soon as Pei Guichen was knocked unconscious, she imprisoned him in a stone cave with black iron shackles.

Not only did A Bao imprison Pei Guichen, he also asked Wanwan, who was proficient in disguise, for help to disguise the man who looked like Pei Guichen into Pei Guichen's appearance.

In this way, 'Pei Guichen' returned to the Pei family in Huainan to steal information for her.

However, what Po never expected was——

The white fragrant mist that filled the entire stone cave had no effect on Pei Guichen.
