A Bao is not afraid of Pei Guichen.

However, she suddenly realized that dealing with Pei Guichen and removing the Pei family's hidden chess pieces bit by bit was much more difficult than she had imagined.

It hinted that the old emperor should thoroughly investigate Pei Guichen, until the old emperor discovered that Pei Guichen was the mastermind behind Xuanyuan Wu, and then discovered the wolfish ambitions of the Huainan Pei family.

Abao couldn't say these words that he had prepared long ago.

At this time, Eunuch Desheng, following the old emperor's instructions, invited Xuanyuan Fengran into the Xuanshi Hall.

A Bao listened to the footsteps of Xuanyuan Fengran approaching step by step in the huge Xuanshi Hall, until he stood beside her and saluted.

"Hail, Your Majesty."

The old emperor's eyes were like torches, and he asked tentatively, "What was King Feng Ran doing in Baiyujing last night?"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on A Bao's palms.

All her plans were concealed from Xuanyuan Fengran from the beginning, just to get rid of Xuanyuan Fengran completely after arresting Xuanyuan Wu last night.

However, unexpected events happened one after another, and she had no time to tell Xuanyuan Fengran - she could only say she knew nothing.

In the Xuanshi Hall, the candlelight on the copper frame was dim and the whole place was dead silent.

Xuanyuan Fengran lowered his eyes, hiding the cruelty in the depths of his cold black eyes.

When he raised his eyes again, he chuckled and said leisurely, "Your Majesty, I know nothing."

The old emperor's eyes became even colder. "You showed up in Baiyujing last night, but now you say you know nothing?"

Xuanyuan Fengran was as casual as ever, "The princess of the Xuanyuan family is curious about what a brothel is and wants to take a look. Since the princess calls me uncle Fengran, as an elder, I can't let a little girl barge in."

Old Emperor: “…”

"This den of vengeance is particularly attractive."

Xuanyuan Fengran smiled charmingly, half-knelt in front of Abao, and rubbed her head, "Little Abao chased after a handsome young man in Baiyujing last night, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It took the emperor's uncle a long time to look for her."

Xuanyuan Fengran was clearly smiling, but Abao felt that he was angry with her.

Xuanyuan Fengran patted Abao's shoulder meaningfully.

When he stood up again, he chuckled and joked, "Come to think of it, little Abao's interest in Bai Yujing last night was quite similar to your majesty's style when he was young."

When the old emperor was young, he often lingered in brothels and prostitutes. Those romantic stories had long been written into a storybook, and everyone in the imperial capital had a copy.

Now that Xuanyuan Fengran mentioned it with a smile, the old emperor almost lost face.

But while he was embarrassed, he was still thinking about the flaws in Xuanyuan Fengran's words.

However, with both witness testimonies and physical evidence, after a round of interrogation, what everyone said was logical and they all corresponded to each other.

Pei Guichen's cousin secretly colluded with Xuanyuan Wu and bribed Eunuch Su. A Bao followed the clues from Eunuch Su and discovered the truth about Xuanyuan Wu's fake death. He asked Xie Wuai's Western Frontier scout for help and sneaked into Baiyujing to capture him.

However, Xuanyuan Wu led a group of death-defying soldiers to resist tenaciously, even setting fire and injuring people, which led to the Baiyujing fire case.

The old emperor thought everything was fine, but who sent the assassins?

He still suspected it was Xuanyuan Fengran.

However, he is open-minded.

The old emperor looked at Xuanyuan Fengran standing next to his daughter, and recalled Gu Qijue's report. After Abao disappeared in the sea of ​​fire last night, Xuanyuan Fengran went crazy. Regardless of the bleeding from the arrow wound, he frantically dug in the ruins of the fire scene, looking for Abao's whereabouts.

The old emperor was very satisfied with this.

He didn't expect that his little daughter Abao would be so charming. As soon as she said she wanted to control Xuanyuan Fengran's heart, she really manipulated Xuanyuan Fengran's emotions step by step.

The old emperor couldn't help but have sweet dreams.

In time, if Abao asked Xuanyuan Fengran to die, Xuanyuan Fengran would probably obey.

The thought of killing Xuanyuan Fengran without losing a single soldier made him feel happy.

The old emperor was so excited that he started coughing suddenly.

Suddenly, the old emperor waved his hand and said, "Except Abao, everyone else should leave."

A Bao's heart suddenly sank.

Xuanyuan Fengran turned and passed by her, followed by Pei Guichen, and then Gu Qijue.

She listened as the door of the Xuanshi Palace closed heavily behind her.

The door blocked out the early morning sunlight.

Her eyes suddenly darkened.

At this time, the old emperor asked, "What do you think of Xuanyuan Wu's life and death?"

The old emperor's voice echoed in the Xuanshi Hall like a gust of cold wind, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker and making Abao feel extremely cold.

A Bao clenched his fists in his sleeves, slowly raised his head and looked at the old emperor on the throne.

The old emperor had an expressionless face and looked down at him solemnly.

At this moment, Concubine Wen's words echoed in A Bao's mind - Prince Wu killed his brother and rebelled, your father will not let him go.

Concubine Wen had warned us not to go against the old emperor's wishes.

A Bao finally understood that it was a sin for a father to kill his son, so if the old emperor wanted Xuanyuan Wu to die, someone had to take the initiative to propose it, and then he would reluctantly agree.

And she was the one chosen by the old emperor.
