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

The day after the Lantern Festival, Xuanshi Hall.

The afternoon sun was warm and cozy, and Abao was rarely distracted while reviewing memorials.

During the trip to Nanshan, Pei Guichen did use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

At that time, Gu Qijue died in the dungeon at the hands of Vulture, the leader of the Pei family's shadow guards.

And Liu Qiqi was taken away by the barbarian's Scorpion Cavalry.

She was not surprised by this result.

At least in the previous life, Liu Qiqi had always been a chess piece that Pei Guichen used very easily.

For Bai Muliang, Liu Qiqi, who had been lurking in Futu Mountain for many years, had been deeply trusted by Pei Guichen and must know a lot about Pei Guichen.

And this Liu Qiqi became the concubine of King Zhao of Zhenxi, and almost single-handedly caused the demise of the entire Zhao family.

Bai Muliang naturally wanted to save the life of such a resourceful secret agent.

but……

His mind raced, A Bao stopped writing and opened the desk thoughtfully.

Lying quietly inside was a golden medal that Yan Haixi had snatched from the young man.

Recalling Yan Haixi's words, "Only the elite of the Scorpion Cavalry have the gold medal, and they only obey the orders of the Witch Queen."

At that time, she was confused: "Witch Queen?"

"The uncrowned queen of the Barbarians, who was born in the Red Flame Holy Mountain, is honored as the Witch Queen by the sixteen tribes of the Barbarians." Yan Haixi said coldly: "King Wule trusts the Witch Queen very much, and often discusses the affairs of the Barbarians with the Witch Queen."

She was just as Xuan Ji wrote in the letter, very curious, why Bai Muliang was both the heir of King Jialuo and the young master of the barbarian tribe?

Pei Guichen wants to kill him, while Bai Muliang and the Witch Queen want to save him.

It seems that the news sent by the secret guards of the Haizi tribe under the command of Emperor Feng Ran's uncle is all true.

There was a rift between the Pei family of Futu Mountain and the barbarians.

The evidence is that in the winter of previous years, all the baggage sent from Futu Mountain to the barbarian capital had stopped.

Where are the traces of Yuan Chenjing?

Three days ago, I was still at Futu Mountain.

She sent secret guards to monitor Yuan Chenjing and required them to deliver a letter every day. No matter whether the news was good or bad, big or small, all had to be recorded and submitted.

And the news we received last night was that Yuan Chenji had returned to Yuanlao Mountain.

Pei Guichen was suspicious of Yuan Chenji and wanted to use Yuan Chenji to help him do something, but Pei Guichen went to the appointment in Nanshan alone.

"Now that the news of Pei Guichen's capture has not yet leaked, perhaps we can use this incident to help the plan of moving the mountain." But on second thought, A Bao frowned.

I always feel that there is something fishy going on. "It's too easy to capture Pei Guichen."

But what good would it be for Pei Guichen to be caught and thrown into the most heavily guarded underground dungeon in the Western Prison?

Po, who was puzzled, temporarily calmed down his confused mood.

With her chin on her hand, she stared worriedly at the portrait of a man on the sandalwood shelf.

After returning to the palace from the Nanshan Mountain Resort, she brought the painting to Guanju Palace and asked Concubine Wen to take a look at it.

When Concubine Wen first saw the portrait, she was stunned.

After a while, the usually calm and reserved Concubine actually lost her composure and stroked the portrait with her trembling hands, tears rolling down her cheeks, "Why do you have a portrait of Yuan Qi?"

"This is a portrait of Yuan Chenji." A Bao, full of doubt, asked tentatively: "Do Yuan Chenji and Yuan Qi look exactly the same? If so, mother, do you know what the relationship between Yuan Qi and Yuan Chenji is?"

Hearing this, Concubine Wen stared at the portrait in silence for a long time, "I was mistaken, Yuan Qi's right ear does not have this scar."

After these words were spoken, Abao seemed to realize something and took out another portrait.

He was a disheveled man standing in a pool of blood and corpses.

"Mother, look, who is he?"

"He is Yuan Qi."

Concubine Wen's tone was so firm that Abao was unhappy and suspicious.

"How can mother be sure?"

"The mountain in this painting is Mount Lop Nur." Concubine Wen stroked the mountains and the yellow sand all over the sky. "He once mentioned an experience he had in Mount Lop Nur."
