On the day of copying scriptures in the Buddhist temple, Lin Rongjin spoke sarcastically about the birth of a new baby.

It was also said that Xiao Yunzheng was the biological father of the princess's eldest son.

A Bao remembered that Xiao Yunzheng asked her that night in Yunqi Palace.

If the old emperor and Concubine Wen forced her to have a child with him in the future, would she compromise or refuse?

A prophecy.

Thinking of this, Po sneered secretly.

King Xiao is indeed a smiling tiger, and he is very good at scheming.

The power of the Xiao Palace was deeply rooted in Jiangnan, and the Xiao family's reputation among the Jiangnan gentry was not due to the throne, but the painstaking efforts of the Xiao family's successive heads. Even if the old emperor deprived the Xiao family of the throne, it would not damage the foundation of the Xiao family at all.

But, a royal eldest son.

An eldest prince with Xiao family bloodline.

His biological father was a concubine, but his father's family was extremely prominent, and he was the eldest son.

Such a familiar configuration.

A Bao must be crazy to agree to King Xiao's deal.

Today, she originally wanted to talk to King Xiao about the rights of grain transport.

After all, she was reborn, and her power within and outside the court was just beginning. Her control over Jiangnan was not as strong as in her previous life.

In Jiangnan, if we can join forces with King Xiao, it would be the best option for the time being.

She first used Prince Xiao to get rid of Governor Lin. As for the new candidates for the governors of the three states, they would be puppets fostered by her. Then she would keep the grain transport firmly under her control.

But Abao was beyond expectations of the eldest prince's conditions.

She was about to refuse, but Xiao Yunzheng held her hand tightly.

A Bao suddenly looked at Xiao Yunzheng warily, but saw that Xiao Yunzheng had a stern expression, staring directly at King Xiao who was fishing under the eaves of the tea garden.

“Children are not tools.”

"Having children should be a natural process."

Otherwise, would he have been created like this, a pawn that his father resented and his mother used?

Even though Xiao Yunzheng was cold and stern, A Bao still saw hurt in his eyes. She instantly remembered the madness of Princess Xiao at Jishou Mountain.

A Bao actually felt a little uncomfortable.

King Xiao's elegant and amiable expression changed again and again, and he finally managed to maintain a smile with difficulty.

"In the Dali Temple trial, is the princess sure to win?"

A Bao heard the hidden meaning behind King Xiao's words.

Once he lost, what the old censor Sun said about favoring treacherous officials and disregarding human lives would come true.

The public outrage over the removal of the Eastern Palace would surely cause even more uproar.

However, the court game is full of conspiracy and backstabbing.

However, the Dali Temple only focuses on evidence when trying a case, and she happened to have evidence in her hands.

"Are you sure you will win?" A Bao's smile deepened: "When things are done, the truth will be revealed."

"The right and wrong of Lin Rongjin's death will be decided by the Dali Temple."

"Please remove the Xiao family from the throne. Such a grand gesture is unnecessary."

A Bao chuckled coldly.

King Xiao was very good at fishing, and after a short while, another fish took the bait.

Throwing the delicious and plump fish into the bamboo basket, Prince Xiao suddenly asked out of nowhere: "Does the princess care about Yun Zheng?"

Abao: "..."

The tea garden suddenly fell into silence.

Seeing this, King Xiao paused in his action of hanging the bait, as if thinking about something.

As the red clay stove in the teahouse burned vigorously, the stove cover was pushed open by the boiling steam.

A Bao suddenly regretted coming to see King Xiao today.

Just as I was about to get up and say goodbye, the door of the tea garden was pushed open.

The old housekeeper of the Xiao residence came in carrying a food box. When he saw Abao and Xiao Yunzheng sitting side by side at the tea table, he looked a little dazed, as if he had seen old friends.

It was not until Abao noticed his gaze that the old butler hurriedly came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, the steamed cheese with sugar has been prepared."

Prince Xiao, who was fishing under the eaves, turned around and looked at A Bao with complicated eyes.

Those tit-for-tat confrontations seemed to have never existed.

Prince Xiao looked nostalgic and smiled amiably, "I heard that your majesty and the imperial concubine both like the sweets from Jiangnan. This steamed sugar-coated yogurt is very good. Princess, why not bring it back to the palace to try."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunzheng suddenly held A Bao's hand even tighter.

She looked at the young man beside her and suddenly remembered that he was cursed by that old incident.

Thinking of this, Abao sighed secretly.

Since King Xiao still maintained a friendly appearance, she naturally couldn't fall out with him.

"I'm afraid King Xiao has misunderstood about my love of sweets." Ah Bao smiled sweetly, "It's just hearsay, it's a rumor, don't trust it completely."

Having said that, A Bao never took the food box, but helped Xiao Yunzheng up first.

Xiao Yunzheng was surprised by A Bao's protection.

What was even more surprising was that Abao was willing to lend him a hand.

Silently, he lowered his eyes and smiled softly.

A Bao didn't know what Xiao Yunzheng was thinking. She looked at King Xiao with a smile.

"The three courts will hold a trial, and the emperor will be present in person."

"How did cousin Yun Zheng win? Why don't you see it with your own eyes, Prince Xiao?"
