At the same time, in the West Prison’s medical clinic.

A Bao was applying medicine to Xuanyuan Fengran's left hand knife wound.

Fortunately, although Governor Lin's knife stabbed deep, it did not injure any bones.

While bandaging the wound, Abao's tears, which had been held back for a long time, suddenly rolled down.

Xuanyuan Fengran raised his hand to wipe away the tears of his little girl and coaxed her gently: "It didn't hurt much at first. But now that you're crying, little Abao, it hurts me to death."

A Bao's tears fell even harder.

Drops of water rolled onto the black ring on Xuanyuan Fengran's left ring finger.

"I want to learn martial arts." Po felt uncomfortable and blamed himself, "This way I can protect myself."

Xuanyuan Fengran used his uninjured right hand to hug the little girl with red eyes into his arms, his voice still gentle.

"Everything depends on Madam."

On this side, the medical officer was sighing that the rumors were indeed true.

The princess and her master have a very close relationship.

On the other side, the door of the infirmary was pushed open.

A Bao turned around following the sound and was surprised to find that the person coming was Pei Guichen.

Her tears had not yet stopped, and she looked at the young man in white with red eyes and sadness.

The gentle and jade-like face of the young man in white, Pei Guichen, was almost unable to hold back his expression.

Seeing A Bao shedding tears for Xuanyuan Fengran, he silently clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves.

I could hear the voice that Abao had worriedly said not long ago:

——The East Palace is full of crises now, and I don’t want to make you a target of public criticism.

——Brother Pei, the more distant you and I seem to be from outsiders, the more likely it is that if I am eventually deposed, as the unpopular concubine in the Eastern Palace, you, Brother Pei, will at least be able to escape unscathed.

At that time, he thought, she had good intentions.

But at this moment, he would rather have Po love him as passionately and sincerely as he did in his previous life.

It was a grand event, and the whole world knew that she and he were lovers.

Pei Guichen tried his best to suppress his anger and smiled gently.

"Abao, I have something I want to tell you."

A Bao suddenly became alert: “?” What are you trying to do?

These days, she always suspected that Pei Guichen was involved in Lin Rongjin's death.

The only problem was that she didn't have any solid evidence.

Now that Pei Guichen has come to me on his own initiative, it is a good time to test me.

Thinking of this, A Bao bandaged Xuanyuan Fengran's wound, then stood up and walked out.

But she didn't know that Xuanyuan Fengran behind her pulled the corner of her sleeve.

He used very light force, and the gauze at the corner of her sleeve slipped through his gauze-wrapped fingers like a breeze.

It was getting hotter in late May in Daqi.

However, the entire West Prison was still eerie and terrifying, with constant screams from purgatory.

Outside the West Prison Medical Office, under the old locust tree.

Pei Guichen said in a gentle tone, "I once saved Li Si's book boy."

Upon hearing this, A Bao hesitated, a book boy?

Pei Guichen continued gently, "Yesterday, the servant sent a message to me through the housekeeper of the Pei Mansion, claiming that Governor Lin had long since formed an alliance with Li Si. The previous impeachment by Old Censor Sun and the discussions in the court about deposing the Crown Princess were all secretly fueled by Governor Lin and Li Si's desire to support the heir in Li Jiafei's belly to ascend the throne."

Hearing this, Abao remained silent with vigilance.

Pei Guichen put his hands on A Bao's shoulders and tried his best to persuade him: "A Bao, His Majesty obviously has the intention to change the crown prince. We must be prepared early."

A Bao grasped the weakness, pity and helplessness that she should show at this moment.

Her eyes, which had shed tears because of Xuanyuan Fengran's injury, were still red at this moment, so her pretended weakness seemed more real: "I know everything Brother Pei said."

"But, if Father really wants to abolish me, what can I do?"

After he finished speaking, Pei Guichen held A Bao in his arms.

"Even if everyone turns their backs on you, Po, I will always help you."

Pei Guichen's tone was clearly affectionate and he was full of confidence.

However, A Bao looked up at Pei Guichen who was holding her. He was dressed in white, elegant and cool, with eyes like the breeze and the bright moon. But what she was thinking was -

He is the soul of a previous life.

This made the meaning of Pei Guichen's words even colder.

"A Bao, I am willing to persuade that servant boy to testify for you that Governor Lin's corruption case is related to the Li family and Li Jiafei. If Your Majesty really wants to appoint the heir in Li Jiafei's womb as the crown prince, he must take into account the public outcry and public resentment."

A Bao looked at Pei Guichen with an earnest look on his face, and suddenly thought of the old year.

She had just been reborn.

Xuanyuan Fengran was slandered by Pei Guichen as the real murderer who assassinated the crown prince.

In this dark and cold West Prison.

There was heavy snow all over the sky and Xuanyuan Fengran was beaten till his whole body was covered in blood.

A Bao raised his head to see the scorching sun in May, but he only saw the high walls of the Western Prison built of fine iron and black stone. The dark eaves were even covered with dense spider webs.

It occupies the imperial capital like a giant.

But being in Pei Guichen's arms made her feel more horrified than this Western Prison.

It was so horrifying that A Bao actually admired Pei Guichen, who was dressed in white, but had no bottom line in framing others.

She had started investigating Governor Lin's corruption case a long time ago.

It has nothing to do with whether Governor Helin formed an alliance with Li Si.

Even if one secret chess piece is discarded, it can affect the situation of the competition for the throne.

But she still didn't want to do what Pei Guichen said.

One thing comes to another.

Even though she and the Li family are hostile to each other because of the position of crown prince.

But she still wanted everyone in the world, especially the government and the people, and all the civil and military officials, to always remember in their hearts that the reason Governor Lin and the Lin family were sentenced to confiscation of property and extermination of the clan was because Governor Lin extorted the people's wealth, disregarded the lives of the people, embezzled disaster relief funds, and framed his colleague Liang Yu.
