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

Gu Qijue's exhaustive search only proved that—

No suspicious person sneaked into the West Prison.

When the assassin was executed and taken to the Western Prison for custody, he was thoroughly searched by the Western Prison and there was absolutely no way he could have been carrying poison.

But that cruel death did exist.

Therefore, the only possibility is that the assassin took poison before the attack and died from the poison at the time.

And that strange poison came from the barbarians, created by an old witch of the barbarians.

The old emperor was also aware of this, which was why he was furious when he saw Abao entering the room.

The room was extremely quiet, and the old emperor's pressure was extremely heavy.

A Bao was in charge of investigating the assassination case. He had been close to Xuanyuan Fengran recently. Although he gave some explanation when he met the old emperor in the library this morning.

But in the end, she didn't find out the truth about the assassination.

At this moment, her back was covered in cold sweat and she didn't dare to speak casually.

Gu Qijue’s face looked even uglier than hers, his eyes were gloomy and cold, and he looked more like Hei Wuchang.

At the same time, in the small room in the east courtyard of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

In front of Xuanyuan Fengran, there was a man in black wearing a ghost mask kneeling.

"My Lord, I am incompetent. The Western Prison is heavily guarded and I was unable to enter tonight."

"It doesn't matter."

Xuanyuan Fengran stirred the lotus seed soup in the bowl with a silver spoon, his black eyes were cold.

"As for the West Prison, someone still went in tonight."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Fengran seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long while, a hint of tenderness appeared in Xuanyuan Fengran's dark eyes, and he smiled lightly and said, "My Princess Abao is very smart."

Xuanyuan Fengran was honored and extremely proud.

But the man in black remained silent.

He always felt the Man-Slaughter King's gentle smile was weird.

After the man in black left, Xuanyuan Fengran stood at the door of the cottage, looking at the east courtyard gate in silence.

I don't know how long it took, but the snow started falling again.

It hit my face, wet and cold.

Xuanyuan Fengran wrapped himself tightly in the fox fur cloak, sniffing the scent of its former owner, Abao.

His injuries had not yet healed, his fingertips began to feel cold, and he was almost standing like an ice sculpture...

The door to the east courtyard was pushed open.

The moment Abao saw Xuanyuan Fengran, a warm candlelight was lit in the hut.

And Xuanyuan Fengran’s black eyes were particularly bright.

Her heart, which had been hanging in the air all night, finally settled down.

Jingjing turned around and closed the gate. When Abao turned around again, she ran towards him with her skirt lifted up.

He stretched out his hands and caught her firmly and tightly.

"Little Abao, are you afraid?"

After asking this question, A Bao knew that Xuanyuan Fengran saw through her plan tonight.

"Not afraid."

She held his waist, pushed him into the house, and closed the door tightly.

"I'm not afraid when I think that you, Uncle Feng Ran, will be fine."

In the warm house, A Bao hid in Xuanyuan Fengran's arms and said with peace of mind: "Little uncle, the emperor has issued an order, you are not guilty."

A Bao thought about it and turned around and attacked Pei Guichen.

But now, no one would believe that Pei Guichen had the courage and ability to frame King Feng Ran of Da Qi.

If it was blamed on any of the major families in the imperial capital or any official in the court, it would not be convincing enough. In this case, A Bao could only put the blame on someone far away.

When Xuanyuan Fengran was stationed in the northern border, he defeated the sixteen tribes of the barbarian tribe and made them retreat far to the north of the vast sea. They no longer dared to approach the territory of Daqi easily.

This deadly vengeance was serious enough to cause the barbarians to send assassins into the capital of Daqi, assassinate the crown prince, and frame King Tu Fengran.

The old emperor hated the raw meat and blood-drinking barbarians the most in his life. Once the barbarians were involved, he naturally imagined a drama of discord in his mind.

The barbarians dared to send their assassins to sneak into the imperial capital at any cost.

If he really killed Princess Diyang, the crown prince of Daqi, the old emperor would have no heir to succeed him, and the power of Daqi would fall into the hands of others.

If she could not be killed, it would be even better if we could frame the Man-Slaughter King and use the old emperor to kill the Man-Slaughter King, the greatest enemy threatening the barbarians.

All these incidents show that the barbarians are still eyeing the Great Qi kingdom.

It was like hitting the old emperor in the back with a hammer.

A Bao didn't want to think about the few hours he had spent in the Xuanshi room, walking on thin ice.

The old emperor's dragon eyes were sharp, like a knife scraping bones, trying to see through her.

There is also Gu Qijue, who has handled countless major cases. Any slight change in her expression is enough to arouse Gu Qijue's suspicion, which will lead to Gu Qijue's endless investigation.

Fortunately, in the end, the old emperor believed that the assassin was sent by the barbarians.
