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

Recently, scandals have frequently occurred in Prince Xiao's Mansion.

But its century-old foundation and reputation in the Jiangnan literary world still remain.

What is the truth behind the fire?

In the teahouse and inn, some people swore that the fire was caused by the wronged spirit of Xiao Linglai; some pretended to be mysterious and said that the Xiao Palace had violated a taboo and stood on the wrong side, and the fire was a warning;

There are also reports that the fire was set by the barbarians.

"I really saw it! Xijing Villa that night!"

"The guards of the Imperial Censorate took away a strong barbarian man!!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people and all kinds of rumors were getting more and more intense.

In the ancient Bodhi Temple, an unknown eternal lamp was lit.

And in front of the lamp, Xiao Linglai finally saw the true face of his savior.

"The lady of the brothel is actually Her Royal Highness the Princess?!" Even though Xiao Linglai believed he had died once, he was still extremely shocked.

Seeing this, A Bao seemed to realize something and said, "When you were rescuing Xiao Liu, you were spotted by Xiao Yunzheng."

"Didn't he tell you at the time?"

The crown prince made a secret visit to Jiangnan, and this information was obviously very useful.

"No. Brother Yun Zheng just gave instructions." Xiao Linglai recalled uncomfortably: "On the day when the imperial edict arrives, Her Royal Highness the Princess will show up."

He really always made her not know what to say.

A Bao sneered, it was indeed as he said.

Today is the fifteenth day of the full moon, and the day after the first snow in Jiangnan, the news that the princess arrived in Jiangnan and temporarily stayed in Chengming Palace has spread to all ethnic groups like the wind.

Half an hour later, Abao left the temple and returned to the palace to confirm the rumor.

It happened to be the full moon on the 15th day of the lunar month, so officials from Jiangnan took the opportunity to pay a visit.

It was impossible to refuse, and the host stayed until late at night, when the guest left and the host went to bed.

But Chengming's study was still brightly lit at night.

Zhang Lanheng, who was left last, stood beside the desk, like a gentleman: "Governor Liang led the river soldiers to inspect the flow system of Quliang River from top to bottom, and confirmed that there is no danger in the river. We have also strengthened the guards of various river towers as Your Highness said."

Hearing this, A Bao still dared not relax his tense nerves.

She picked up the pen to write a memorial, but found it difficult to put pen to paper.

Staring at a drop of ink from the tip of the brush as it falls onto the white paper and spreads out.

"How are the Zheng family's warehouses and the medical clinics in Jiangnan going?"

"The Zheng family warehouse in Jiangnan City does have a large amount of medicinal materials stored." Zhang Lanheng handed over a thick list: "This is a complete inventory of the medicine list, which is consistent with what Your Highness said."

"Everything has been sealed now, and no one is allowed to move without permission."

That's great. She'll wait until she sees Zheng Zhen'er before she deals with the prescription.

Of course, there is also the Zheng family, which has been arrogant and domineering for nearly fifteen years.

But she still had one question.

He put down the wolf-hair brush, looked up at Zhang Lanheng, and was about to speak.

But then I heard the palace guards outside the door coming to report.

"Your Highness, General Zhong of the Jiangnan Military Camp and Director Yang of the Gunpowder Institute request an audience."

Hearing this, Xie Wuai was filled with worries and asked, "They must be after that batch of fake thunder bombs! How are you going to deal with them, sister? Even if they are reduced to dumb bombs, they were originally weapons! Xiao Yun..."

In the dead silence of the study room, seeing his sister lowering her eyes and not speaking, Xie Wuai suddenly stopped talking and said with emotion: "He really dares to move."

"And General Zhong dared to violate military discipline, so we have to help him."

In silence, A Bao clenched the letter in his hand, which was also Xiao Yunzheng's confession.

After a while, she raised her hand and threw it into the brazier.

The flames that suddenly ignited caught the eyes of everyone in the study.

The black-robed king in front of the bookshelf had an even darker expression, looking angry, sad, and mocking, so complicated that it was impossible to understand. Zhang Lanheng, who always had a dull expression, was stunned for a moment, and quickly hid all his thoughts. On the contrary, Xie Wuai was straightforward and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Why burn——"

But Xuan Ji, who looked sad, suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Xuanji shook her head, and Xie Wuai was at a loss.

And A Bao silently thought of Xiao Yunzheng, who was full of high spirits when he returned triumphantly.

She stared blankly at the confession being devoured by the charcoal fire for a long time before continuing, "I am the beneficiary of what he did."

"I owe him a favor."

"I take this responsibility."

After saying this, Abao finally felt at ease.

"Please come in, General Zhong and Director Yang."

After a moment, it turned out to be just as Xie Wuai had expected.

General Zhong and Dean Yang are here for that batch of fake thunder bombs.

"…We, your servants, have come to apologize for our crimes."

A Bao sat behind the desk and said, "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding between the two of you."

General Zhong and Dean Yang were both surprised when they heard this.

A Bao's expression became calmer. "I heard that the Xu family was involved with the barbarians, so I set up a game with Prince Xiao. Things were urgent that night, and Prince Xiao misspoken."

"It's just that... you two summoned the Thunderbolt out of the barracks without seeing my order. This is indeed a violation of military discipline."

General Zhong and Dean Yang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt their hearts rise to their throats again.

A Bao said sternly: "I'm afraid you two will have to endure a little pain."

These words were like a reassurance.

General Zhong and Yang Yuanjian were very nervous when they received the gift and they both bowed with great respect.

"Your Highness, I will follow your instructions."

For more than an hour, Abao talked with General Zhong about the Jiangnan military camp.

Xuan Ji watched from the side and felt more and more sorry for her friend.

At the same time, in the bamboo corridor of Chengming Palace.

Father-in-law Desheng was strolling around when he happened to run into an acquaintance.

He was the son of King Jialuo, who was supposed to go to the imperial capital to marry the princess, but was sent directly to Jiangnan to meet the princess by an imperial decree from the old emperor.

"It's been busy these past few days. Who is the person who died?"

It is clearly a question, yet it remains calm.

Eunuch Desheng frowned, but during this trip to Jiangnan, he had received a lot of care from this concubine Jialuo, so even though he was wary, he still kindly gave a reminder.

"It's the master of Yunqi Palace, Lord Xiao."

"Mr. Xiao and the princess have had a close relationship since childhood. After entering the palace, he was extremely favored. Who would have thought that he would die in a fire this time, which made the princess unhappy."

“But if you put your mind to it, it’s a good time.”
