A thunderclap on a summer night killed Concubine Pei.

Now thinking about it carefully, A Bao suddenly realized that Emperor Xianling had left some comments about the rainstorm and thunder in "The Diary of Emperor Xianling".

Perhaps, it is not a coincidence.

——Thunder drives away disasters, rain washes away misfortunes, and blesses me with great prosperity.

The portrait of Yuan Chenjing in the secret room of Zhenguo Temple was also collected and hidden by Emperor Xianling.

What is the implication behind this?

Thinking of this, A Bao decided to go back to the palace and look up Emperor Xianling's daily routine, then go to the Huangji Palace on Mount Qilin to burn incense for Emperor Xianling, and ask her great-great-grandfather who was obsessed with cultivating immortals to appear in her dreams so that the two of them could have a good chat.

But at this moment, Abao was silent and calculating.

From the time of Emperor Xianling to the present day, Yuan Chenji has lived for at least a hundred years.

Staring at the portrait spread out on the broken string zither case, she was puzzled as to why this man in navy blue brocade robes, who looked like the breeze and the bright moon, had become a gloomy old man with a sly smile and the appearance of a naughty boy? Even his voice was desolate and gloomy.

It was exactly the same voice as Yuan Qi's that she heard in Peach Blossom Valley in northern Xinjiang.

His mind raced, and A Bao, who became even more suspicious, turned around and looked at Pei Guichen.

Those portraits in the secret room of Zhenguo Temple are Yuan Chenji. ——What is this, a huge secret?

Is it really worth Pei Guichen's risking his life to show up in person to see him?

Pei Guichen even... "You actually told me this?"

This move is totally unlike Pei Guichen's style.

A Bao stared at Pei Guichen warily: "In this life, you suspected Yuan Chenji because of the incident at the Mirror Terrace."

"But there was no turmoil at Mingjingtai in the previous life. What did Yuan Chenji do to arouse your suspicion, Pei Guichen?"

A Bao was extremely upset when she thought that her soul had been trapped beside Pei Guichen for fifty years and she knew nothing about Yuan Chenji.

But after a pause, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

In the second year of Tiansheng, Pei Guichen sent a battalion of navy to the Chuyue Sea to salvage the treasure from the sunken ship of Emperor Xianling.

Later, the memorials submitted to the emperor yielded nothing.

But now she already knows that, no matter in the past life or this life, as early as a hundred years ago when Emperor Xianling was in power, Pei Qin had already swapped the sunken ship and single-handedly caused the bloody incident. As the eldest son of the Pei family, Pei Guichen knew all about this.

So in his previous life, why did Pei Guichen send out the navy when there was no need to salvage the sunken ship?

Living longer really brings more advantages. A Bao stared at Pei Guichen angrily.

"What do you know? You risked your life to kill the Lirong beast to extract its heart, and ventured into the Black Lake to catch giant lizard eggs. What exactly do you want to do?"

She asked coldly, and he suddenly grabbed her hand, with terrifying pressure coming on her.

"You were there all those years. Right? Po?"

Hearing this, A Bao suddenly became enlightened and his mind became clear.

No wonder Pei Guichen had a hidden meaning just now - she should have known that he had started to secretly investigate Yuan Chenji in his previous life.

Because he thought that she would always follow him wherever he went.

However, she was actually only trapped in the Weiyang Palace and Taiji Palace, and other places were difficult for her to approach.

It was as if fate had determined that she should see everything related to Pei Guichen in these two palaces.

In the silence where one could hear a pin drop, Pei Guichen grasped Abao's left wrist tightly, and trapped Abao between him and the zither case. His originally thin and cold voice was now hoarse and painful: "...So, you have always been by my side."

Hearing this, Abao struggled with his wrist, but failed. He immediately became more disgusted: "Accompany? Be more precise. I was trapped because I had no choice."

In the cold confrontation, A Bao, who had no way to retreat, quietly groped for the dagger.

But Pei Guichen was still approaching brazenly: "You can't deny it, Abao."

"It was during the second year of Tiansheng that I used the Jade Slips to find the new mine in Western Xinjiang that stored iron materials for casting crossbows, and you knew about it."

Quietly, A Bao was about to grab the cold dagger, but was restrained by Pei Guichen.

As she struggled, the red bean necklace on her left wrist jingled.

A Bao, feeling chilled in his heart, looked up angrily, only to see Pei Guichen's eyes were red, and he looked painful and crazy.

"Only you and I remember that past. Abao, love, hate, life and death, there is no one else in the world like us... We have the deepest bond in the world, entangled..."

If A Bao hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Pei Guichen could have such a humble attitude.

"Nanshan is still there, Fenglin is still there. I will build the small courtyard here for you again on a moonlit night. Let's start over, okay?"

Hearing this, a breeze blew across his cheeks, ruffling the hair at Abao's temples.

Her past memories were brought back to her, and she silently raised her hand to stroke his tightly furrowed brows.

The best time for their relationship was when he accompanied her through the first four years of her ascension to the throne, during the years of internal and external troubles.

She was used to terrifying assassinations, but every time she was awakened by a nightmare, she would always find her in his arms, gently stroking her back to comfort her.

When he blocked the sword for her, she fell in love with him at first sight, mostly because of his beauty. But after a long time of companionship, her heart would beat a little unsteadily every time she saw him by her side. So, she thought with expectation -

I really like him and I want to have a baby with him.

It just so happened that at that time, her control over the court had become more stable, and it was time for her to have a crown prince.

I drank contraceptive soup for four years, but stopped.

And that winter, Pei Guichen built a cliff-top villa around the pavilion and named it Mingyue Ye.

During the time they stayed here, Fenglin Yuxiu and they had Yuan Zhao.
