A moment later, near the Xuanshi Hall.

A Bao dragged Zhang Lanheng to hide in the dark corner of the palace wall.

Miserable cries continued to be heard, and Abao quietly climbed onto the palace wall and looked into the distance.

In front of the Xuanshi Hall, old Censor Sun burst into tears.

Cursing Abao over and over again is actually the only crime he has committed.

He was lax in governing his subordinates and favored treacherous and cunning people.

But those who were unaware of the situation, seeing the old Censor Sun crying and wailing, would definitely think that Abao was a useless crown prince who had committed serious crimes and was bringing disaster to the country.

However, every word of the accusation made by the old censor Sun was full of blood and tears.

The hidden meaning is actually implying that Xiao Yunzheng killed Lin Rongjin, who was also a concubine of the Eastern Palace. He was so arrogant and lawless. In addition to A Bao's favor, Xiao Yunzheng also had the support of the Jiangnan Palace and even the power of the Jiangnan gentry behind him.

On this side, the old censor Sun was whispering in the old emperor's ear.

On the other side, King Xiao Shen of Jiangnan was ill.

The excuse this time was a relapse of an old illness.

Before coming to the imperial capital, King Jiangnan Xiao Shen had been ill, and this time he was even more mentally ill and was about to pass away. In grief, Princess Xiao took Xiao Jingyue to stay at Jishou Mountain to worship Buddha and pray for King Xiao.

After hearing the news about Zhang Lanheng, A Bao silently complained: No one would believe it.

One by one, they all stayed in bed tacitly.

Even after Governor Lin arrived in the imperial capital, he only submitted a memorial to the old emperor, saying that he was ill in bed due to acclimatization, and then stayed in the post house.

This "being sick in bed" is really a panacea excuse.

When you need it, you will get sick.

"In that letter to Zhang Shaoqing, did you spill all the 'bait'?"

A Bao asked coldly.

Zhang Lanheng said sternly: "The bait has been cast, and the fish has been hooked."

There are undercurrents in the court and a storm is coming.

Although some court officials mentioned the dispute over the succession to the throne of Wen Ying openly or covertly, according to A Bao's arrangement, the court officials heard more discussions about the period of Empress Wen Ying, when the government was clean, the people lived in peace, the treasury was full, the border was stable, the workers were paid, and the elderly had a place to rely on.

There are even rumors that what can the second empress of Daqi achieve?

Will it be another prosperous era, continuing the great national destiny for hundreds of years?

As his thoughts gradually subsided, A Bao's face turned very calm as he slowly walked towards Mrs. Lin.

This lady, dressed in pearl hairpins and silk, kowtowed repeatedly until her forehead bled.

Half squatting in front of Mrs. Lin, A Bao stretched out his hand to block the bluestone brick where Mrs. Lin was kowtowed. This action forced Mrs. Lin to look up with tears in her eyes.

"your Highness!"

When she saw that it was Abao, Madam Lin burst into tears: "I gave birth to Jin'er with great difficulty and raised him with great effort. He is my life! Who knew that Jin'er was killed by that Prince Xiao! Please, Princess! Please help me!!"

After a moment of silence, A Bao did not answer but asked, "Has Madam Lin met Young Master Lin?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned with tears in her eyes: "What?"

"Young Master Lin's coffin is temporarily stored in Jishou Mountain. I have lit a long-burning lamp for Young Master Lin and asked Abbot Xuanhua to perform a 49-day ritual to help him pass away." A Bao took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Madam Lin, trying to slow down his tone: "Madam Lin, you didn't see Young Master Lin before you arrived in the imperial capital?"

What mother who truly loves her son would do this?

Sensitive to the hidden meaning in Abao's words, Mrs. Lin did not move a muscle and was so nervous that she even forgot to take the handkerchief.

The Lin family and the Yang family want to benefit from Jin'er's death.

She had to seize the opportunity, kowtow and beg in front of the Xuanshi Hall, meet the emperor in person, and make a big fuss about Jin'er's death at all costs, so that the whole city would be in an uproar.

Old Censor Sun, who had been silent since Abao appeared, watched this scene silently.

But Abao understood, and his eyes became colder.

At this moment, Gu Qijue came from the palace road, sword in hand, step by step towards her.

A Bao raised his eyes and looked at the Black Impermanence silently.

As always, he held his sword with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes sinister.

However, this time when he looked at her, there was a hint of complex inquiry in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I heard that Lord Xiao is ill?"

"Commander Gu seems to be very concerned about my family affairs?"

A Bao couldn't help but sneer coldly, but after she finished speaking, she realized that she was still in a half-squatting position, and she was less imposing when facing Gu Qijue.

She was about to stand up when she heard Gu Qijue speak in a deep voice with hints of something.

"Your Highness's family affairs are also state affairs."

As he spoke, Gu Qijue glanced at Old Censor Sun.

His glance seemed nonchalant, but it was enough to frighten the old Censor Sun.

"As the commander of the Pacification Division, it is my duty to worry about Your Highness."

Po: "..." Huh? Do you think I believe it?
