What about the stepmother dressed as three villains?

It's just that he doesn't look like King Xiang, and his mother doesn't know, but has always been raised by Princess Xiang.

Dabao said in a deep voice, "Well, go to sleep! Don't be in a hurry. With my mother here, I believe that one day the truth will be revealed."

"En." Erbao responded, and within a few breaths, he fell asleep.

Only Dabao said he was sleeping, but he kept his eyes open and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Cheng Nai in the next room suffered from severe chest pains, she got up and drank medicine several times.

Her body is getting worse and worse.

terminally ill.

This may be her retribution, how many times she wanted to understand her own life...but her wish has not been fulfilled.

She dare not!

I used to have nightmares when I fell asleep...

Now my body hurts so much that I can't sleep at all, and it's getting worse...

Today's morning court, the people who came were exceptionally complete.

Liao Jiu was full of sleep and was rarely in high spirits. When he entered the hall, most of the other officials had already taken their positions.

He was almost the last group to come. He came early, so he could only be the opponent for everyone to ask and observe. Wouldn't it be nice to watch the wife sleep at home for a while?

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

Liao Jiu always went his own way and was used to being noticed. He just pretended that nothing happened and went straight to the front row. He was the youngest among them all, but he had a lot of official positions.

The first rank of the official residence is in the front row.

The positions in the court hall are based on grades, the first rank is in the first row, the second rank is in the second row, the second rank is in the third row, and so on.

Along the way, ministers greeted him one after another, wanting to inquire about some news, but Liao Jiu just nodded and didn't reply.

Up to his position, he was surrounded by several pillars and veterans of the Da'an Kingdom.

Among them, even his grandfather, Old Prime Minister Zhou, was among them, and the old prime minister coughed, "Nothing, how can young people come so late and get up early to exercise their muscles and bones, is it worse than an old man like me?"

The corners of Liao Jiu's mouth curled slightly, "Grandpa, you've grown stronger and stronger, so naturally your grandson can't compare to him."

Old Prime Minister Zhou saw that Liao Jiu was in good spirits, so he stopped here. Although the entire court hall was full of high-ranking nobles, his grandson was the most shining, as if he put this piece together. The halls are all lit up.Don't talk about looks, looks are too superficial, just look at this demeanor, this spirit, it is unmatched among the younger generations in Da'an.

No wonder the emperor attaches great importance to it.

If it were him, he would never tire of watching it.

The audience looked around. At this time, everyone was looking at their direction, and there was a lot of discussion.

The old Prime Minister Zhou whispered, "Don't pay attention to them, the emperor will not blame you when Grandpa comes to sit in charge for you today, I will see who dares to chew their tongues behind their backs, don't be afraid."

Liao Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Old Prime Minister Zhou is a retired courtier who has been promoted to Duke. Now outsiders call him Duke Zhou.

It's no longer necessary to go to court, but occasionally, if you have something to say and want to face the Holy Spirit, you can also be eligible to go to court.

The old man is worried about his safety.

The Prime Minister’s Office has always taken great care of Liao. Liao Jiu’s father, Lord Liao Hou, is in poor health and doesn’t care about temple affairs. Yes, it doesn't matter. When Liao Jiu was young, Zhou's family would help with anything.

Later, when Liao Jiu grew up, and after joining Six Doors, the Zhou family gradually had nothing to worry about.

Now that something so big has happened, the Zhou family is the first to stand up again.

Liao Jiu was slightly moved in his heart.

At this time, the morning time came, and with the eunuch's thin and long voice, "The emperor is here."

The court, which was full of discussions, suddenly quieted down.

Return to their respective places. "Your Majesty is auspicious." Kneeling down in unison, Emperor Xuan strode in from the back hall and sat on the golden and emerald dragon chair at the very front.

He casually waved his hand, "Everyone is flat."

After the routine etiquette, the court began to discuss matters.

Xuanhuang asked people to report all the affairs of the day, and collected a bunch of papers. For the report that should be reported, after the papers of the previous two days approved the routine affairs of the early court, the direct admonition session began.

At this time, the second princess came in from the back hall, and she was also eligible to go to court.

She was dressed in a neat horse riding attire, and was leaning on a cane, "Father, Governor Liao of the Six Doors violated the emperor's order and left his post several times without authorization, which injured the princess. It is really unforgivable for the task entrusted by the emperor to disappoint the emperor, so I ask the emperor to convict him."

As he spoke, he pointed at Liao Jiu angrily.

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately looked at the Second Princess and Liao Jiu.

No one dared to speak.

Xuanhuang didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking.

His gaze indicated that Liao Jiu could speak clearly.

Liao Jiu said indifferently, "It is rumored that the second princess was injured. Is the second princess okay? She was injured, and she was able to go back to Beijing to sue the imperial court before the team. It is difficult."

The second princess could not be injured, Gastrodia ginseng ran away, and she, the person who had sworn to take the ginseng, came back unharmed, which was unreasonable.

He pretended to fall off a cliff and broke his leg.

Hurry up and send someone back, and cry in front of Emperor Xuan first.

The second princess blushed with anger, "Governor Liao, what do you mean? It was you who disobeyed the emperor's order, which caused our mission to fail. Father, if you don't believe me, you can also tell the doctor Zhang himself, Physician Zhang and the others estimate that they will arrive in the capital in two days. Governor Liao is the head of the guards on this trip. He has left his post without authorization not once or twice. He has strict requirements on us. He is not allowed to go here or anywhere. Running around and wandering around, it is said that I even went to the market to buy a woman from the Aquarius Kingdom to warm up my bed at home, her behavior is extremely bad, and she is not good enough to be the governor of the six gates..."

The imperial hospital also has the head of the court, and he stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister has indeed received the letter from Zhang Imperial Physician, and it is indeed what the princess said."

As soon as he agreed, immediately, other people in the hall came out to speak.

"Although I don't know what the secret mission is, but the emperor's order, how could he leave his post without authorization, and even hurt the princess, and still take advantage of his position outside to ask flowers and ask questions, it's too indecent."

"Your Majesty, the old minister felt that Governor Liao was a little younger, unsteady, and out of character. This time, he committed such a big mistake. Any crime is a crime of disrespect. Your Majesty, the six doors are handed over to such a man. Here, it’s still a little rash.”
