Abao was genuinely stunned for a moment.

"I don't like these two dishes at all." Xuanyuan Wu smiled wickedly and said sarcastically, "Because you like them, I said I like them too in order to please you and get close to you."

A Bao was shocked: "..."

Her hand holding the chopsticks was even shaking a little.

"Fifth brother, I'll change the dish to fried shrimp..."

A Bao's words were interrupted by the sound of a door opening.

She turned around and saw Gu Qijue leading a team of Western Prison Tiger Guards rushing in. In a flash, they surrounded her and Xuanyuan Wu.

The Western Prison Tiger Guards are majestic, with snow-white blades in their hands.

Gu Qijue, wearing the official robes of the commander of the Pacification Division, stepped forward with a gloomy face, clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Highness, I am ordered to detain Prince Wu."

Xie Wuai followed closely behind, leaned close to A Bao's ear, and lowered his voice and said, "Royal sister, Gu Qijue not only has an imperial decree, but also an oral order. Anyone who dares to stop him will be executed first and then reported to the emperor."

A Bao knew the old emperor's character very well. He clenched his fists for a long while before speaking in a cold voice.

"Since it is the emperor's order, I will not stop it. But please, Commander Gu, give me another half an hour."

Gu Qijue glanced at Abao warily.

He had suffered several losses at the hands of Princess Diyang, and he really couldn't figure out what the princess was planning.

But to his surprise, he heard Her Royal Highness the Princess' sincere plea again.

"My fifth brother hasn't had dinner yet."

Only then did Gu Qijue notice that A Bao was holding a bowl full of food.

A Bao explained, "We both know that the West Prison is a place where criminals on death row with serious crimes are imprisoned, and the food there is always rotten."

After a pause, A Bao continued, "My fifth brother has been in Baiyujing for three years, so his appetite must have become spoiled. He can't get used to those stale meals left overnight."

Gu Qijue, who has always been cold-blooded and inhuman, agreed for some unknown reason.

A Bao changed the rice and dishes, and also served a bowl of fish and tofu soup, and even peeled the shells of the fried shrimps.

She stood in front of Xuanyuan Wu, holding a bowl full of food.

"Fifth brother, no matter what, I have always regarded you as my brother since I was a child."

Xuanyuan Wu stared at the little girl in front of him, and suddenly had the illusion that the little girl had grown up.

There is always a kind of innocence in her eyes. She always thinks that there are many good people in the world and looks forward to finding a lover who is willing to treat her with a pure heart.

But at this moment, the little girl standing in front of him had a deep sadness between her gentle and delicate eyebrows. Even though she was calm, she was still cold.

Strangely, the image of young Abao appeared in his mind.

The delicate and beautiful snowball couldn't even walk steadily, but she loved to stumble and follow him, calling out in a baby voice -

Fifth brother, fifth brother, wait for A-Bao~

Xuanyuan Wu didn't want to think about it any further, but he couldn't control his brain and actually fantasized that it would be great if they were siblings from the same mother.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Wu laughed sinisterly and said in a cold voice: "Xuanyuan Diyang, get lost."

Po's face turned pale.

In the end, Xuanyuan Wu didn't eat a single bite of the food she brought.

Gu Qijue took Xuanyuan Wu away from the dungeon, put him in a prison car that looked like an iron coffin, and headed straight to the West Prison under the escort of the West Prison's Tiger Guards.

The dungeon fell silent again.

When only Abao and Xie Wuai were left, Xie Wuai sighed uncomfortably.

"Your Majesty, you won't survive more than three days."

A Bao's eyes turned cold, she certainly knew what would happen next.

Three years ago, although the old emperor personally ordered the execution of Xuanyuan Wu, to him, Xuanyuan Wu was more of a traitor and rebel than the fifth prince who was related to him by blood.

Xuanyuan Wu committed suicide by burning himself to death, and the old emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, Xuanyuan Wu suddenly came back to life. The old emperor was afraid that he was like a thorn in his side, unable to sleep or eat, and he wished he could push Xuanyuan Wu back into the coffin immediately.

Even if Xuanyuan Wu didn't say a word, the limit of the torture without food or water would be three days. Once three days were up, Xuanyuan Wu would surely die.

Ah Bao frowned and asked Xie Wuai, "Where is Pei Guichen?"

She took great pains to deceive Eunuch Su and planned the incident in Bai Yujing tonight. Her real target was Pei Guichen.

Xie Wuai had wanted to talk about this for a long time.

"Pei Guichen is missing." Xie Wuai said depressedly, "I originally sent someone to watch him, but he managed to get rid of the secret guards and disappeared without a trace."

Ah Bao's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is Eunuch Su?"

She was not sure that Xuanyuan Wu would definitely speak out and accuse Pei Guichen, so in the eyes of the old emperor, Eunuch Su was the key witness who testified that Pei Guichen and Xuanyuan Wu had secretly joined forces.

This time, Xie Wuai was very confident and patted his chest.

"Don't worry, sister. I have Eunuch Su under strict surveillance. Nothing will happen to him."

Hearing this, Abao was still worried.

"Send me back to the palace immediately."
