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

Although it was very light, Xuanyuan Fengran still felt that his black robe was being tugged.

When he lowered his head, his little girl's face turned pale, and his heart trembled, as he intuitively knew that she was very sad.

At this moment, she clutched his sleeves tightly and murmured, "I want to go to the red mangroves in the backyard with Aunt Shi."

After a moment's hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Just in case, Xuanyuan Fengran sent his trusted subordinate Jian Qian to follow.

Wangcai Inn is located throughout the Daqi territory, from east to west and from south to north. The most praised thing is the beautiful scenery in the backyard of the inn. As for Chuyue’s West City Old Street Inn, the most famous thing is the mangrove forest in the backyard with fragrant flowers, lush trees and thousands of mandarin ducks singing.

Walking along the sheltered corridor in the backyard, I listened to the lightning and thunder in silence.

In the violent storm, among the branches that were shaking violently, the shivering little mandarin ducks nestled tightly under the warm wings of their mother.

A Bao watched in fascination and became more and more concerned about Meng Guanjing's life experience.

Unexpectedly, Princess Xuan spoke first.

But the haggard mother did not plead, but slowly recalled: "Many years ago, when Changdu was still very young, Chuyue also encountered a heavy rain like today."

"In order to pray for the people, I took Changdu to the temple to burn incense."

"Changdu asked me, Mother, it has been raining for so long, the fishermen can't go out to sea to fish, and they don't have enough food, what should we do? Otherwise, let's persuade father to release the grain in the treasury, okay? He even begged me to go back to my grandparents' home for help."

At this moment, Princess Xuan's eyes were gentle, "Changdu was also a good boy."

After hearing the old story, A Bao realized that Princess Xuan still wanted to save Xuan Changdu.

But she had to tell Princess Xuan that Xuan Changdu was guilty of treason and was sentenced to death.

A Bao was just considering his words when he saw Princess Xuan stop in her tracks.

She followed Princess Xuan's gaze and saw a little mandarin duck obediently being combed by its mother's rain-soaked feathers among the branches of a mangrove tree beside the corridor.

The chirping of birds seems as if they are happily acting coquettishly towards their mother.

This scene made Abao's heart sink.

Princess Xuan was concerned about herself and said, "When I returned home that day, it was Prince Xuan who came to pick me up."

"Before getting on the carriage, I encouraged Changdu to tell his father about his proposal, but because of this, he got a very hard slap from his father."

"King Xuan angrily accused him of being soft-hearted and lenient, and that he would never accomplish anything great."

That slap woke up Princess Xuan.

All King Xuan wanted was to make a lot of money by taking advantage of the rainstorm.

"I think that even if King Xuan is evil, if I put more thought into it and teach him well, Changdu won't be that bad. He must have been influenced by his father."

Coincidentally, there was a sudden commotion outside the carriage.

Princess Xuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and was shocked to see a child being chased by a dog.

In a panic, he crashed into the carriage of Prince Xuan's palace.

"That child was chased by a dog in the rainstorm. The dog wanted the meat bun in his hand. The autumn rain in Chuyue was bone-chillingly cold. The child was only wearing a patched-up, thin autumn shirt. He was kicked hard by the guard, but he was still able to fight with the dog."

"Guards, King Xuan, watch as the boy beats off a wild dog that's stronger than he is."

"Changdu was also watching, so I took Changdu down from the carriage and walked over to the child. As we got closer, we could see more clearly that the child had just defeated a wild dog. He was so thin that his bones were visible. He was covered in mud and his face was dirty. He looked very young, no more than seven or eight years old."

"But that child has a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes."

"That child..." Princess Xuan said, "I asked Changdu to help the child up and take him back to the palace. I want to teach Changdu to be a good person."

Hearing this, Abao's face turned pale as paper.

When Princess Xuan withdrew her gaze from the little mandarin duck, she saw Abao with tears streaming down her face.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

When Abao raised his hand, he realized that she was crying.

My throat was blocked and my eyes were sore, but I couldn't speak.

In his previous life, Meng Guanjing once told her about his childhood.

He said that he had escaped and was rescued by a lady, who took him back to a villa where he could bathe in warm spring water, eat delicious food, and see the lady's loving gaze.

Just a few days later, he was sent back to Mengjia Island by the male owner of the villa.

A Bao thought with red eyes, how should she tell Princess Xuan?

The child she rescued many years ago might be her biological son.

And where is Meng Guanjing now?

Ah Bao suppressed his discomfort and asked, "What happened to that child later?"
