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

That evening, Abao entered the Yunqi Temple.

Over the past three months, Xiao Yunzheng followed the advice of Old Doctor Zhang, soaking in medicinal soup, applying ointments, and enduring the severe pain of bone-eroding acupuncture and moxibustion every day.

The old lumbar injury has healed a lot.

Just need to rest for one more month and you will be completely recovered.

Today is the last time that Abao will give acupuncture to Xiao Yunzheng.

Just like every time before.

Every needle made Xiao Yunzheng feel excruciating pain.

The young man's face was pale, he was sweating profusely, and his hands were tightly grasping the edge of the couch.

When A Bao inserted the last golden needle, Xiao Yunzheng even vomited blood in pain. He was in a state of humiliation and awkwardness, and on the verge of suffocation as if he was drowning.

A Bao quickly wrung out a wet towel and wiped the blood off for him.

While breathing with difficulty, Xiao Yunzheng leaned against the couch and looked up at her.

She was so close to him that he could even hear her gentle breathing, and the way she wiped away his blood was even more gentle and careful, as if she was afraid of using too much force and causing him more pain.

Tears gradually formed in Xiao Yunzheng's eyes.

The evening breeze blew by, and the white jade bracelet on her right wrist reflected the warm golden light of the early summer evening.

Xiao Yunzheng thought that it would be difficult to encounter such a scene again in the future.

The Lin family corruption case has been settled.

The deal of "the authority over grain transport will be entirely vested in Your Highness" will also be completed soon.

So, what reason does he have to continue to approach her?

As if it was God’s favor, at this moment——

Xiao Yunzheng heard the little girl was very apologetic.

"I can't let Pei Guichen leave the palace."

"what?"

Xiao Yunzheng was distracted and at a loss for a moment.

And Po was very nervous.

In the East Palace, at least she could keep an eye on Pei Guichen's actions under her nose.

But she would not tell Xiao Yunzheng this honestly.

How to give a reason for breaking the contract? Xiao Yunzheng had to believe this reason.

A Bao was struggling with how to explain.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunzheng said decisively: "Your Highness's decision naturally has its reasons."

A Bao: “?” You agreed. Wasn’t that too quick?

The next moment, Xiao Yunzheng said weakly: "But Your Highness, you must fulfill your promise to me."

Po was surprised that the progress was so smooth.

She asked tentatively: "Xiao Yunzheng, what agreement do you want?"

Xiao Yunzheng found a reason to continue to get close to A Bao. He suppressed his joy and coughed, "Before this, I didn't know that Your Highness wanted to break the contract."

Upon hearing this, Abao was very embarrassed, "I'm sorry."

Xiao Yunzheng raised his eyes and stared at Ah Bao, his face pale and innocent: "This happened suddenly. How about, Your Highness, give me some time to think about it?"

A Bao vaguely felt that there was something fishy going on, but he had to agree because of his previous promise.

"Then think about it carefully and tell me when you've made up your mind."

After a pause, A Bao stared at Xiao Yunzheng, who looked weak.

Uh, I always feel that this cousin Yun Zheng is up to something bad.

After a moment's hesitation, Abao emphasized: "But we have a deal."

Xiao Yunzheng said weakly: "Your Highness, please speak."

A Bao earnestly instructed: "The agreement you proposed..."

"It can't be related to Xiao Jingyue."

"You must not go too far, such as killing people, setting fires, being rude and unrighteous, etc."

The early summer evening was apparently a very ordinary scene.

But Xiao Yunzheng felt warm, and he secretly held the corner of A Bao's sleeve.

It rained in the desert, and the flower stretched out its branches.

He said, "Okay."

Another half month passed.

In the court of Daqi, Zhang Lanheng, who was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, made a memorial with his pen as sharp as a knife.

Lord Wei was corrupt and committed embezzlement; Lord Meng formed a clique to deceive the emperor and encroach on land for personal gain; Lord Liu deceived his superiors and concealed the truth about the rebellion of thieves and bandits; in Daqi, visiting prostitutes is a serious crime, and Lord Huang exceeded the moral standards and frequented brothels.

With both witnesses and material evidence, the guilt was confirmed.

And after the morning court session ended.

Pei Guichen, who received the news, was playing chess with Yang Sishan.

"The red-lettered iron certificate bestowed by the late emperor is still enshrined in the Yang family's ancestral temple."

"The Duke of Ancheng's Mansion will certainly be implicated in the previous corruption case of Governor Lin, but it will only be a flesh wound, not a serious one."

Answered Pei Guichen’s question a moment ago.

Seeing Pei Guichen distracted, Yang Sishan couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Pei, what are you thinking about?"

Pei Guichen suddenly came back to his senses and said meaningfully, "At the morning court today, the court officials who were imprisoned were all from the so-called Baxia faction that supported the sixth prince's ascension to the throne."

Yang Sishan understood it immediately and suddenly realized it.

"Brother Pei, do you mean that the Eastern Palace will take action?"

"Not your highness."

Pei Guichen was playing with the white chess piece between his fingers, his brows furrowed.

As far as he knew, Abao did not have the intelligence network to disrupt this reshuffle of the court.

However, the fact is that the court officials who had been engaged in petty corruption for many years were brought before the emperor with irrefutable evidence. Even though they had been in the political arena for a long time, they were powerless to fight back.

The court was shaken. Pei Guichen hesitated.

The intelligence network controlled by the leader of this matter is far superior to that of the Huainan Pei family.

So much so that before the morning court today, he didn't hear any news.

Thinking of this, Pei Guichen couldn't help but think of the past half month.

The secret spies that his Huainan Pei family had planted in the imperial capital were eliminated one after another.

The methods were vicious and cruel, and the actions were done in secret. No trace of the perpetrators has been found to date.

Could it be that there is a connection between the two?

Inside Pei Guichen's elegant body, a sinister and cruel soul sneered.

Suddenly, he crushed the white chess piece between his fingers.

Who is it?
