A Bao leaned against the window frame, looking at the boat thoughtfully.

According to the scouts' report, the Prince Pingyue's Palace has been quite busy these days.

Concubine Jiang and Shi Xi fought each other frequently.

However, at the beginning, Fatty Ba pushed Shi Xi into the water, which made King Xuan unhappy. He became increasingly distant from Concubine Jiang, and at the same time, he became more and more fond of Shi Xi as compensation.

Unfortunately, Concubine Jiang had orders from the Pei family's secret agent.

Having to keep fighting despite repeated failures is truly inspiring.

Until last night, at the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival sacrificial banquet.

When drunk, King Xuan declared in public that the throne would be passed on to the future baby in Shi Xi's belly.

This remark caused a huge uproar and directly exposed the internal struggle in the Prince of Pingyue's mansion.

However, Po always felt that there was something hidden.

It seemed that Shi Xi used the face that looked like Shi Yunji to control King Xuan.

But King Xuan seemed to have made Shi Xi a target, with thousands of arrows pointing at him.

At this time, the boat with the Jin Kun flag had stopped at the boarding point.

Shi Xi handed over a gold-lacquered visiting card as per etiquette.

But the deputy commander of the tower ship was in a dilemma: although Shi Xi was married from the Dafuluo ship and Master Shi still lived in the cabin guest room, King Xuan of Pingyue was still dangerous and difficult to deal with.

Seeing this, Abao pondered and tapped the window frame with his fingertips in turn.

After a while, she asked Hongxiu to go downstairs to pick someone up, and did not forget to remind Hongxiu to treat the soldiers of the Chuyue Navy to a bowl of sour plum soup to cool off.

Hong Xiu was puzzled: "Those are the subordinates of King Xuan. Why does Your Highness care about them so much?"

Hearing this, A Bao clenched the window frame tightly, his eyes slightly stern, and said word by word: "The Chuyue Navy is not the private army of King Xuan alone, but the sword of Daqi to suppress the sea."

No matter what, they are all the navy of Daqi, ensuring peace in the four seas of Daqi.

Hongxiu seemed to understand but still followed the order and left.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Chu Wu also got up and said goodbye, using the excuse of taking care of the boy.

So when Shi Xi stepped into the tea room, there was only silence.

There is no one around at this moment, so it is better to say some things directly. There is no harm in saying them.

"Your Highness the Princess left Concubine Jiang's adopted son by her side?"

Upon hearing this question, A Bao, who was leaning against the window, asked cautiously without answering, "Could it be that Miss Shi Xi heard something?"

Shi Xi showed a worried look on her face: "I accidentally overheard the secret conversation between Concubine Jiang and the teacher in the Pingyue Palace. I heard that Concubine Jiang's adopted son pretended to surrender and wanted to stay by the princess' side to pass on information and wait for an opportunity to act."

This news was indeed dangerous, but Po remained calm.

In fact, she had long been suspicious of Jiang Lan's surrender so easily.

She never believed in one person's words.

That night, the young Jiang Lan was caught for pretending to be a ghost, and he did confess many things, but for the sake of caution, she still specifically asked Jia Si to investigate secretly and look for evidence.

The purpose is to determine the authenticity of everything.

Because of this, she determined early on that the young Jiang Lan was not a spy.

A Bao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why do you remind me?"

Shi Xi was worried, "The lives and deaths of my two brothers are in the hands of the princess. If the princess is in trouble, my two brothers will not have a good end."

Hearing this, Abao was filled with mixed emotions, but he did not show it.

"Don't worry, Jiang Lan is not a threat."

She had already prepared for this. If the young Jiang Lan had any change of heart again, every word he sent out from the Dafulou ship would be a trap she set for the murderer behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, A Bao looked at Shi Xi, "But you..."

On the day when Shi Xi was pushed into the water on purpose, she noticed that three of the blood-red petals on Shi Xi's left wrist had withered.

If she remembered correctly, this was the countdown to the death of Mihunchun.

"You've been bewitched."

A Bao's firm tone surprised Shi Xi.

After a moment of silence, Shi Xi sighed: "Your Highness the Princess is indeed very knowledgeable."

Ah Bao, however, showed no joy at being praised. Instead, he looked at Shi Xi's left wrist with regret. As she had expected, the mandarin duck plant had seven petals left with only two.

The bright red color faded and became almost invisible.

Those who are possessed by the Enchanting Spring will have a seven-petaled red mandarin duck flower left on their left wrist.

Within seven days, they indulged in revelry every day, and the poison penetrated into their lungs and heart, and there is no medicine that can cure it.

When all seven petals of the red flower had withered, the other person in the Soul-Bewitching Spring began to die. First, his internal organs began to rot, then his bones broke piece by piece, and finally he suffered pain comparable to that of lingchi (a form of torture) and turned into a pool of blood.

The entire death process also takes seven days.

"does it worth?"

A Bao finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.

She will never be able to forgive Pei Guichen for the rest of her life.

But put yourself in his shoes, even if she hated Pei Guichen, what she wanted was to live a free and easy life and make Pei Guichen pay the price with his death.

As for using her life to avenge Pei Guichen, she felt that Pei Guichen did not deserve it.

However, Shi Xi said calmly: "It's worth it."

For some reason, A Bao felt powerless, and secretly sighed that she could solve the secret of the Hanging Soul Puppet but could not save Mihunchun.

Suddenly, Abao became suspicious.

Even if she was reborn, she didn't know how to configure the Soul-Loving Spring.

How did Shi Xi know about this?

Having said that, Po simply asked the question directly.

After a moment of silence, Shi Xi fell into recollection: "The weird old man who used the entire Mengjia Village to test poisons developed many strange pills, and Mihunchun was one of them."

"When I escaped from Mengjia Village, I became a thief."

Hearing this, A Bao suddenly realized that this was the case.

But on second thought, when it comes to strange diseases, she hasn't done anything.

Taking out a written secret letter from the bottom drawer of the tea table, A Bao handed it to Shi Xi, "I was originally planning to tell you that I found a cure for the disease, but you happened to come here to warn me."

Shi Xi took the secret letter with trembling hands, and tears suddenly fell.
