Gu Qijue was puzzled by this secret order.

But he laughed at himself, saying that as the killing knife in the old emperor's hand, no matter it was a secret order or an open imperial decree, he only had to complete the task with this knife and had no right to ask why.

At the same time, on the deck on the third floor, heavy rain was pouring down.

A Bao gripped the cold iron of the horizontal railing and looked at Gu Qijue through the gray rain curtain.

She looked into the eyes of Hei Wuchang, who was soaked all over. The look in Hei Wuchang's eyes was very much like the black evil-eliminating sword in his hand, cold and filled with murderous intent that pierced the heart.

A Bao remembered Gu Qijue from his previous life.

The old dynasty suddenly collapsed and the new emperor was established.

Amid the chaos, people were in panic, but the Gu family stood firm.

In a trance, she seemed to return to the Tai Chi Hall of her previous life, and saw Gu Qijue, the commander of the Pacification Division, who was highly valued by Pei Guichen time and time again.

Until the thunder exploded, her thoughts were brought back to the present moment.

The heavy rain hit the back of her hand, and the early autumn chill penetrated her bones, causing great pain.

She couldn't help but feel full of doubts. Pei Guichen had escaped and his whereabouts were unknown, and at this time Gu Qijue appeared. Could it be that he came to help Pei Guichen escape from Chu Yue?

At this time, the rainstorm became heavier, with lightning and thunder.

A Bao stared silently at Gu Qijue in the distance, who was already in a rather embarrassed state.

As if thinking about something, she instructed Hongxiu: "Take Commander Gu to the cabin on the fourth floor."

After a while, hot tea was brewing and cakes and candied fruits were served.

On the fourth floor, in the cabin where Pei Guichen originally lived.

A Bao, leaning against the soft couch and wrapped in thick fox fur, looked at Gu Qijue who came in with a smile.

The black robe and light armor were soaked, and he hadn't had time to change them.

Commander Gu did not beat around the bush when he spoke.

It was so direct that A Bao thought that the evil-killing sword in his hand would kill her in the next moment. "Your Highness should not have handed over the seal of the Eastern Palace to King Feng Ran casually."

Hearing this, A Bao said calmly, "It's not random."

According to the laws of the Great Qi Kingdom, the seal of the Eastern Palace and the seal of the crown prince and his wife can both be used.

When she saw Xuanyuan Fengran off in Fengdu Palace, she left the East Palace Seal with him.

Fortunately, after his uncle regained consciousness, he understood her intention.

With the seal of the Eastern Palace, he called in the Xuanwu navy to suppress the Pingyue Palace and stop the tide of corpses.

After hearing this, how could Gu Qijue not understand?

His brows were furrowed, he gripped the sword even tighter, and the murderous intent in his heart became stronger.

"Your Highness, do you know what the consequences of this action will be?"

Of course A Bao understood, and Concubine Wen even sent a secret letter to reprimand him for this.

Speaking of which, she was in a coma some time ago and the secret letter was taken away by her uncle Feng Ran. It was not until she woke up last night that the secret letter returned to her.

When the secret letter was opened, the familiar handwriting of Concubine Wen was seen.

Chu Yue was far away from the imperial capital, and information was already poor. To prevent any changes, Xuanyuan Fengran blocked the Dafulou ship from leaking any information to the outside world, allowing only entry but not exit.

Fortunately, when Concubine Wen wrote the secret letter, she only knew that she was injured.

So when she read the letter, her mother did not seem too sad, but just gave her earnest instructions as usual.

As autumn approaches, the weather in Chuyue turns cold, so it's time to put on some thicker clothes; if you are injured, take medicine properly, and ask Hongxiu to cook more medicated food to replenish the blood and invigorate the qi; as for the matter of the sinking of Emperor Xianling's ship, your father has his own ideas, so you just deal with it perfunctorily and just dig into it casually.

She held the letter in her hand, and a tear fell, soaking the back of the paper.

But in the secret letter, Concubine Wen changed the subject and wrote in an urgent and earnest tone.

Every stroke of the brush seemed to turn into a sharp blade, piercing into Xuanyuan Feng's bones and burning him three points.

——Abao! Don't get too close to King Feng Ran!

——That King Feng Ran is so bold! He actually dared to use the East Palace Seal to call on the Xuanwu Navy! Do you know how much trouble this will bring you? ! Your father is suspicious to begin with, and this time he mobilized a large army, in his father's eyes, you are colluding with King Feng Ran!

A Bao held the secret letter in her hand, Xuanyuan Fengran had actually told her already.

Concubine Li Jia took the opportunity to make a big fuss, accusing the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace of forming a clique for personal gain and mobilizing the navy without authorization. She also made up many charges and wished she could bite her to death.

But the old emperor always felt that the crown prince of the Eastern Palace should do his duty and not overstep the line.

After this battle, I'm afraid Li Jiafei's wish has come true.

The old emperor will only be more afraid of her.

But at that time, she was trapped in the purgatory-like Mengjia Island, and Donggong Chuyin and Emperor Feng Ran's uncle were her greatest hopes for survival.

But she was still worried about how Concubine Wen would protect herself in the palace.

However, Concubine Wen only mentioned the matter of getting pregnant as soon as possible at the end of the letter.

As the biological father of the emperor's eldest grandson, Concubine Wen only left Abao two choices in the letter.

It’s either Xie Wuai or Xiao Yunzheng.

Recalling this, Abao sighed helplessly.

How could she tell her mother that she had remembered the Northern Frontier from three years ago?

Suddenly, Gu Qijue, who had been silent for a long time, asked coldly with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness, do you still remember why you were canonized as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace?"

Of course A Bao remembered that in the fight for the throne, all five sons of the old emperor died, and the old emperor was unwilling to hand over the throne in the Taiji Hall to the side branch of the Xuanyuan family, so he simply waved his pen and threw the hat of the crown prince of the East Palace on her head.

"Commander Gu, what do you want to say?"

Hearing this, Gu Qijue's dark eyes became even colder, and he asked meaningfully instead of answering.

"Does your highness still remember Madam Yunsang?"

Madam Yunsang, Abao was very familiar with her.

After all, she had just heard Yan Haixi mention it.

Madam Yunsang, who lived in the Lantai Palace, was extremely beautiful. She was no less beautiful than the most beautiful woman in Daqi at that time - the late emperor's deposed empress Qin.

She had always been wondering what the relationship was between Madam Yunsang and Yan Haixi.

At this moment, Gu Qijue obviously knew something.
