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

Hearing the exact same words, A Bao was struck by lightning and suddenly froze.

In her previous life, she insisted on making Pei Guichen the principal husband of the Eastern Palace, which made the old emperor furious.

It just so happened that she was named the crown prince suddenly, and she had no power behind her.

The old emperor was furious and punished her severely, so she had no choice but to endure it. She was so injured that she had to lie in bed for half a month before she recovered.

At that time, Concubine Wen asked this question when she went to the East Palace to visit her.

"Now you have made the eldest son of the Pei family the official husband of the Eastern Palace. One day, he will be the Empress of Daqi!"

"If he has ulterior motives, your concern for you is his greatest power and his bargaining chip to control you."

"Choose Pei Guichen, Abao, have you really thought it through?"

How did she answer in the past?

Listening to the windows and doors rattling loudly in the snowstorm, Abao's memories of his past life became clearer and clearer.

She said, but Brother Pei also cares about me the most.

Thinking of this, Abao now lowered his eyes sadly and laughed at himself silently.

That sentence made her, who died at the hands of Pei Guichen in her previous life, seem even more ridiculous.

And this time, after a long silence, A Bao spoke again, "Mother, please believe me."

"The emperor's uncle is different."

"Besides you, he is the only one in the world who treats me the best and is the most devoted."

"...In that case..." Imperial Concubine Wen knew her daughter's stubborn temper very well, so she was not in a hurry and just sighed softly, "I will help you with the matter you mentioned in the letter."

After she finished speaking, Concubine Wen noticed that her daughter suddenly became serious.

"Three years ago, mother already knew the emperor's uncle's background." A Bao said seriously.

Over the past six months, she mentioned the truth of three years ago several times in the secret letters she sent back to Guanju Palace, but Concubine Wen never responded.

This time, she must get a result.

"There is a Winter Mountain in the northern border, adjacent to the Barbarians. There is a Peach Blossom Village in the valley, also known as Winter Village."

"Mother, three years ago, my father sent the Taiji Palace's personal guards to the northern border to bring me back to the palace when I was unconscious." A Bao stared at Concubine Wen, afraid of missing her subtle expression. "Did anything strange happen at that time?"

Abao's original intention was to find out.

Three years ago, she used her own flesh and blood to plant Lingxi as an antidote.

But he has lost his memory of the ten days he spent waiting for Emperor Uncle Feng Ran to wake up.

Perhaps, the Taiji Palace guards had reported some suspicious things to the old emperor.

But the pain and regret that could not be concealed in Concubine Wen's eyes made her even more puzzled.

Suddenly, she keenly noticed that Concubine Wen's hands, which were holding the Buddhist beads, were shaking.

She was very familiar with that Buddhist beads bracelet.

Concubine Wen usually hides it deep in the Buddhist shrine and only takes it out to chant sutras on her birthday every year.

But her birthday had long passed.

Why did Concubine Wen still wear it? She even felt particularly sad every time she looked at it.

Suddenly, Concubine Wen held her handkerchief to stifle a cough and murmured, "Three years ago, the barbarians were extremely powerful and wanted to invade our northern border. In order to increase the chances of winning the war, the barbarians secretly used a trick to poison King Feng Ran."

"This was discovered later by your majesty through secret investigation."

Concubine Wen, who already looked sick and haggard, was now lost in memories, which made her look even more worried and uneasy: "But at the beginning, when His Majesty heard that you went to the Northern Frontier alone, he knew that you had turned yourself into a bargaining chip to protect King Feng Ran."

Hearing this, A Bao said softly, "The emperor's uncle has no intention of treason. I cannot watch him die of suspicion."

"His Majesty is indeed afraid of King Feng Ran's great military exploits, and he would not allow the Xuanyuan Imperial Family to have an incestuous scandal." Concubine Wen looked at her daughter lovingly and sadly, "So, His Majesty blocked all the news."

Upon hearing this, A Bao suddenly realized that her suspicion was true.

It was really the old emperor who suppressed what happened three years ago.

But she remembered what Yan Haixi said, that when she was investigating the poison, a hunchbacked old man with white hair followed her.

It’s not that she doubted Yan Haixi, but she always felt that the hunchbacked old man died too easily and too strangely.

"When the Taiji Palace guards brought me back to the palace, did you see a hunchbacked old man? He looked mysterious and had a head full of white hair."

Before he finished speaking, A Bao saw Concubine Wen coughing violently and even coughing up a handkerchief of blood.

"Mother?!" A Bao stretched out his hand to feel Concubine Wen's pulse, but was rejected.

"Nothing." Concubine Wen's face was pale, and she smiled softly: "That's Yuan Qi."
