Emperor Tai'an's illness lasted longer than others.

Despite Taiyin's efforts, the emperor always felt dizzy after getting up and could only lie down to rest.

Emperor Tai'an dragged his sick body to read a few records and found that although Xiao Congren was young, he handled certain things more appropriately than some older ministers.

I was so proud and happy that I just didn't care about anything and just enjoyed my health.

On this day, Queen Liu Baozhu, who had recovered from her illness, came to pay her respects to Emperor Tai'an.

Emperor Tai'an didn't want to pay attention.

You must know that Liu Zhenghui secretly returned to Ruidu, causing so many people to get sick and almost causing Dongrui to fall into chaos. He really wanted to kill him to vent his anger.

However, Liu Zhengyan died, and the two male members of the Liu family in Ruidu could not die at once, so they were kept in the sky prison until they could be released later.

Thinking that Liu Baozhu came here to beg for marriage, Emperor Tai'an didn't want to see her at all. But he was in pain and a little angry, so he thought he could take it out on Liu Baozhu, so he said, "Let her in."

When Zhao Sanbao came to deliver the message, Empress Liu planned to resign, but she was a little surprised when she heard that Emperor Tai'an agreed to let her in.

As soon as I entered the hall, I was stunned when I raised my eyes.

She had never seen such a haggard emperor.

When he was a boy, he had extraordinary appearance and graceful demeanor.

After ascending to the throne, he was kind, generous, wise and open-minded.

At this moment, his face was pale and very weak.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Liu Baozhu burst into tears immediately.

After all, they have been a couple for more than ten years. Although there is no childhood sweetheart relationship between them, and they are not a married couple, their respect for each other for so many years is not fake.

Seeing her showing her true feelings, Emperor Tai'an stopped trying to find fault.

That’s all, it’s all out of control.

"You've just recovered from your illness. Why are you here now?"

Liu Baozhu wiped the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I am already well. I learned that Your Majesty has not recovered yet, so I wanted to come and serve Your Majesty."

"It's okay, you can go back. The imperial doctor said that everyone's body constitution is different. I happen to be a good and slow person. It will take time. You don't have to worry."

Liu Baozhu shook his head, "I have to take care of Your Majesty personally. His Majesty is not well. It must be because these slaves are not paying attention."

Zhao Sanbao immediately lowered his head and knelt down with the servants.

Emperor Tai'an said: "Queen, don't blame them. They have always served me wholeheartedly."

At this time, the little palace maid came in with a medicine bowl. Liu Baozhu reached out to take it, but Zhao Sanbao avoided it and said, "Your Majesty, it's better for me to be a slave."

Liu Baozhu looked at the bowl of medicine, retracted his hand, and took another clean handkerchief from the palace maid's hand to wipe Emperor Tai'an's sweat.

"Your Majesty, please take good medicine to maintain your health. Bi'er recently wrote a new article, which was praised by the teacher. I want to read it to you when you are better." She comforted her while wiping it gently.

Seeing her mentioning the second prince Xiao Bi, Emperor Tai'an thought that she was dissatisfied with Xiao Cong's supervision of the country. He was about to scold her when she asked for a request. He didn't want to wait and saw Liu Baozhu's next words, so he couldn't help but look at her suspiciously. .

He knew that this woman was stupid and stubborn. How could she hide her words today?

Or is it that since Liu Boyi is not in Ruidu, she has learned to endure without someone to rely on?

After thinking about it, Emperor Tai'an felt tired, his eyes were slightly closed, and he felt sleepy.

Liu Baozhu straightened the quilt for him before leaving.

When Emperor Tai'an woke up again, the room was quiet, with only the faint fragrance of Jianan lingering.

"When did you leave?"

"After you fell asleep, I stayed for a while and then left. I guess you just recovered and you want to go back to rest."

Emperor Tai'an nodded, "After getting sick, I just felt that I was getting older and my heart was softer. I originally thought that if she dared to plead for Liu Zhenghui, I would have to punish her, but I didn't expect that she could bear it. Never spoke to me."

Zhao Sanbao didn't dare to answer.

Emperor Tai'an didn't expect him to speak. After all, he was a chamberlain and was not qualified to discuss it with him.

"I thought Cong'er was going to execute Liu Zhenghui, but I didn't expect him to keep him alive. Is he waiting for Liu Boyi to come back and handle it himself?"

When Emperor Tai'an thought of this, he couldn't help but feel that his son was really smart.

Murder, heart-breaking, alienation, once two birds, these strategies are so sophisticated, even I did not have such powerful methods at such an age.

He is really the eldest son whom he has high hopes for, he is proud of him.

......

After Liu Baozhu returned to Fengluan Palace, he kept sitting by the window sill, motionless, like a fossil.

"Empress? Are you feeling uneasy?" the palace maid Qinghe asked.

Liu Baozhu nodded, "Qing He, is this really the decision made by eldest brother? I always feel that something is wrong. Will we be discovered if we do this? If we are caught, the entire Liu family will be in ruins."

Qinghe closed the window and wiped Liu Baozhu's wringing hands with a warm handkerchief.

"Mother, there is no wound on your hand. You don't need to worry. The poison will only seep into the wound... Your Majesty is having a fever, so the poison that seeped into his face will be absorbed little by little. No It will kill you immediately. Don’t worry, no one will find out.”

"But... Bi'er is only twelve years old, and has never been appointed as a prince. If your Majesty has an emergency, then Xiao Cong's age is the most suitable one!"

"Empress! Since the Duke has made this decision, he must have made complete preparations. If you are indecisive at this time, it will bring disaster to the Liu family."

"You believe me, I will cooperate with you, and no one will find out. We only need to go a few more times, and you pretend to know nothing and take care of His Majesty, and no one will doubt you!"

"That veil..."

"Don't worry, I've taken care of everything."

The veil was stained with the poison of "sealing one's throat upon seeing blood". Every time she brought it back and burned it, she would never leave it in Yangxin Hall and be caught.

"Go more often..."

This is also the first time Liu Baozhu has done this. No matter how smooth it was before, he will be scared now.

Afraid that Liu Baozhu would think too much, Qing He had no choice but to take strong medicine, "My Lady, you are the only one who cares about the so-called friendship between you and Your Majesty. Now he has given the responsibility of supervising the country to the eldest prince. If the eldest prince wins in the future, you will Can we still have an easy time with the Liu family?"

"Especially now that Mr. Hui has made a big mistake and is still in jail. Our Liu family has been pinched. Even if we abandon our car to protect our commander, we will not be able to wash away the infamy. If you hesitate any longer, , even if the Duke comes back, he may not be able to turn the tide."

"My dear, think about Mr. Yan and the old lady who have gone away. Do you think they will be at ease underground?"

"Empress, think about the one in Yongshou Palace. She has been suppressed by you for so many years. If the eldest prince is the one who finally takes the throne, how will she treat you?"

"My Lady, don't you want to be the Queen Mother?"
