"This Zhao Bojun has no idea how many innocent children he has killed with this method. He should never continue to live. Only death is the retribution he deserves. This old Duke of England keeps pestering my father, clearly interfering with karma. If he continues like this, the retribution will be transferred to him."

Little Frost Treasure said.

When she thought of these innocent children who died and were separated from their parents and relatives, she felt so sad.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxuan looked thoughtful.

"The old Duke of England dares to act so recklessly because he is trying to repay a favor."

After a moment, he explained, "Back then, he helped me when I was still a prince. At that time, I promised that if he made a mistake in the future, I would forgive him once.

"The old Duke of England has always been cautious and never makes any big mistakes.

"But he doted on his youngest son, Zhao Bojun, and wanted to use this opportunity on his son.

"But if I really spare Zhao Bojun, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the ministers. If word gets out, the people will also be dissatisfied with me. Then I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will make a fuss and think that I am protecting a criminal, causing widespread resentment among the people."

This is also where Emperor Chengxuan is in a dilemma.

If Zhao Bojun is not punished, it would be unfair to the people.

But if he did, it would mean that he had broken his promise to the old British man.

"Shuangbao, is what you just said true? If I allow the old Duke of England to use this opportunity to save Zhao Bojun, will the old Duke of England suffer retribution for it?"

Emperor Chengxuan asked.

"Of course it's true! Blessings often lie in the shadows of misfortunes, and misfortunes often lie in the shadows of blessings. Even though the old Duke of England saved his son this time, it sounds like a blessing for him, but his son is a disaster. He will definitely suffer disaster again in the future. This is his retribution."

Little Shuangbao shook his head and answered seriously.

After saying this, she added with some pride, "This is all what mother taught Shuangbao!"

"Shuangbao is such a good student."

Emperor Cheng Xuan was amused by her proud look and gently touched her little head.

Then, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said with determination: "Since that's the case, I will spare Zhao Bojun's life this time!"

Emperor Chengxuan released Zhao Bojun.

However, he only saved his life, but he could not keep his official position.

Naturally, the old Duke of England did not dare to force it. His purpose was to save his youngest son's life. As for whether he would become an official in the future, it didn't matter to him. After all, the family could still afford to support Zhao Bojun, a lazy man.

That day, the old Duke of England left the palace proudly.

Naturally, there was a lot of discussion about this in the court.

Many people thought that the old Duke of England had enough face in front of Emperor Chengxuan.

Moreover, he is the uncle of Queen Mother Jiang.

In a short time, the old Duke of England became a celebrity in the capital, and many dignitaries came to curry favor with him.

Zhao Bojun didn't expect that not only did he survive the disaster, but he was also admired by many people. Even if he lost his official position, it would not have any impact at all.

This made everyone in the Duke of England's mansion feel elated.

They felt that as long as the old Duke of England was around, no matter what mistakes they made, they would be forgiven by Emperor Chengxuan.

This incident also allowed the old Duke of England to taste the power.

He used to act cautiously.

But now that he is old and perhaps confused, he actually wants to make the Duke of England's Mansion a special place where people will not be punished even if they make mistakes.

He knew very well that his favor to Emperor Cheng Xuan had ended.

If he wanted Emperor Cheng Xuan to continue to protect him next time, he had to establish a new and more solid relationship with him.

After much deliberation, the old Duke of England decided to send a beauty into the palace as a gift to Emperor Chengxuan.

After some selection by the old Duke of England, he finally chose one of his granddaughters, Zhao Yanger.

Zhao Yang'er got married seven years ago.

But two years ago, her husband died suddenly, and Zhao Yang'er became a widow.

She is twenty-four years old and has a four-year-old daughter.

The key to the old British public choosing her was that she had a four-year-old daughter.

"Isn't the Emperor doting on Princess Lingfu now? I heard she's almost four years old now. The Emperor doesn't love so many of his own children, but instead favors a girl who has no blood relationship with him. I don't believe he has no secret feelings for the girl's mother."

In his own residence, the old Duke of England confidently analyzed, "Not only is Yang'er beautiful, but her daughter also takes after her, being beautiful and lovely. I believe that if the Emperor were to meet them, he would definitely dote on them."

Everyone in the Duke of England's mansion thought his analysis was particularly correct.

Soon, the old Duke of England arranged to send Zhao Yang'er and her daughter into the palace on the pretext of accompanying Queen Mother Jiang.

Queen Mother Jiang was very confused at first.

But the old Duke of England was her uncle and was old, so she couldn't refute him.

So she allowed Zhao Yang'er and her daughter to enter the palace.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Lingfu is almost four years old. Coincidentally, our Lianbao is also four years old, about the same age as the little princess. I would like to send Lianbao to the little princess to be her study companion and play with her. Is that okay?"

Zhao Yanger suggested.

After these days of separation from Xiao Shuangbao, Queen Mother Jiang also began to like her a little.

Thinking that the little baby is at the age where he likes to play, it would be good to have a playmate of the same age around him, so he agreed.

When Xiao Shuangbao first heard that Queen Mother Jiang had found a playmate for her, she was naturally very happy.

But when he heard that this young lady named Lianbao was from the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, he suddenly felt unhappy again.

However, she is very sensible.

"Forget it. Zhao Bojun is still a bad guy, and not all his family members are bad guys. Besides, Lianbao is still young. Doesn't the book say that people are inherently good? Maybe she is a good person!"

After Xiao Shuangbao enlightened himself in this way, he accepted Lianbao's existence.

The two soon met for the first time under the arrangement of the Queen Mother.

"Lianbao greets the little princess. May the princess live a thousand years."

When Lianbao saw Xiaoshuangbao, he bowed to him in a very sensible and obedient manner.

"Sister Lianbao, please stand up."

Xiao Shuangbao quickly helped her up.

The two young babies looked at each other curiously.

When Xiao Shuangbao saw that Lianbao was very beautiful and not at all like Zhao Bojun, who was fat and big-eared and looked like a bad guy, he immediately fell in love with Lianbao.

"Sister Lianbao, Shuangbao has to go out of the palace to study at Baicao Academy every day. From now on, you will stay with Shuangbao!"

Xiao Shuangbao enthusiastically held Lianbao's little hand.

Lianbao looked at the little hand that Xiaoshuangbao stretched out with some disdain.
