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

There were already a lot of red tape for the annual festival, and the imperial city, which should have been busy, was bustling because of the recent turmoil over the throne that almost resulted in a river of blood.

Even though the New Year is approaching and the streets are particularly bustling, the imperial city is silent even in the wind and snow.

However, the old emperor issued an edict that Princess Diyang would serve as regent.

A Bao was still up all night long, just because of the case of Concubine Li Jia colluding with Yuan's treason, which involved many people.

The Western Prison Pacification Division, which could have been controlled with ease, was under control because its commander, Gu Qijue, was also the main culprit in the treason case.

It would take some time for Yan Haixi to eliminate the hidden spies of the Gu family and bring the Zhenfu Division back under the control of the Taiji Palace.

As a result, evidence of Yuan's treason piled up like a mountain on Abao's desk.

As it happens, the imperial examination begins right after the beginning of spring.

Although it was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, the test questions had to be decided by Abao from among many options in the Hanlin Academy.

Fortunately, the Minister of Rites had already defected to the Eastern Palace.

Abao no longer has to be on guard all the time, for fear that someone might interfere.

Ten days later, A Bao took time out of his busy schedule and went to Jishou Mountain on the pretext of praying for the old emperor.

The one at Futu Mountain, at the winter hunting banquet.

Yan Haixi and Pei Guichen once had a silent confrontation in the smoke of gunpowder.

Pei Guichen concealed a key piece of information, hoping to kill Yan Haixi by borrowing his knife.

At that time, she became suspicious.

What happened to Yan Haixi, who was supposed to be in Yuanlao Mountain?

Thinking of this, Abao lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked from the mountain road to the Zhenguo Temple on the top of the mountain hidden in the lush forest.

The Zhenguo Temple, covered in snow, is solemn yet peaceful and leisurely.

"Is the secret room under the two centuries-old trees next to the temple really that dangerous that even you would be in danger of death if you broke in?"

After saying this, A Bao withdrew his gaze and looked at Yan Haixi in the car.

Opposite the tea table, the new commander of the Pacification Division, who was resting with his eyes closed, said meaningfully: "According to Yuan Chenji, it was set up by Emperor Xianling."

A Bao, who was worried, fell silent.

Until the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Zhenguo Temple. After getting off the car, he stood in front of the old tree whose canopy almost covered the sky.

A Bao recalled that the last time she came here, she indeed saw old man Yuan cleaning up the fallen petals on the ground.

At the same time, in a small bamboo house on the top of Jishou Mountain.

Shadow guard Vulture was reporting to his eldest son everything that had happened in the imperial capital in recent days since Abao returned to the palace.

"... Madam Yunsang lost." Shadow Guard Vulture was extremely sad: "Master, what should we do?"

Pei Guichen gently stroked the cold blade of the dagger in his hand.

Whether Madam Yunsang wins or loses, it is all good for him.

After a long silence, Pei Guichen suddenly stabbed the dagger in the chest and said coldly, "Continue."

Blood gushed out, staining the dagger red.

Shadow Guard Vulture had a look of reluctance on his face, and said in a sad voice: "After assassinating Prince Zhao, Liu Qiqi escaped from the palace but failed to escape from Wancheng, and was eventually captured by Prince Zhao. Now she is being escorted to the imperial capital. The spy's secret report said that she will arrive in two days."

Hearing this, Pei Guichen just sneered.

The white robe was very sharp, making his cool and handsome appearance even more creepy.

And he was standing on the highest mountain top at the moment, overlooking the mountains.

Before your eyes are stretches of lush green forests, and in the evening, the sky is filled with clouds and mist.

Feeling pain in his chest, Pei Guichen asked, "Who is coming when the bell rings eight times?"

After saying this, Abao in front of the temple turned around and walked around the two centuries-old trees, looking at them constantly.

King Feng Ran had been waiting in front of the courtyard long before. "Abbot Xuanhua is already waiting for Your Highness in the palace. Please come forward, Your Highness."

Hearing this, A Bao frowned, thinking that Uncle Feng Ran was weird.

Why did you suddenly become so polite?
