"Eight, eight, eight princes..." Guo Huai wanted to get up, but failed in the middle of the climb, and kneeled on the ground limply.At this time, Guo Huai had no energy to think, and just raised his face and smiled apologetically, "Eighth Prince, what, why are you here?"

The Baxian King glanced at Guo Huai in disgust, walked away a little, and said: "Bao Qing sent someone to look for this king today, and said that there was a good show for this king to watch, so this king came. Unexpectedly, the protagonists of this play turned out to be you, Guo Huai, and my sister-in-law!"

It was only then that Guo Huai realized that what happened tonight was a trap set by Bao Zheng for him, he stepped into it without realizing it, and revealed all the secrets.

Finished!

With these two words written on Guo Huai's face, he fell limply to the ground.Now even if Bao Zheng doesn't punish him, Empress Dowager Liu won't let him go easily after returning home!

Dead.

With the eight sage kings as a witness, when Guo Huai was interrogated again, the iron mouth would be more cooperative.

Of course, there were actually eight sage kings testifying, so it didn't make much difference whether Guo Huaizhao confessed or not, but with such a confession, Bao Zheng could justifiably enter the palace and confess to the emperor.And the emperor saw this confession, even if he didn't want to admit it anymore, he couldn't ignore it.

However, at this point, Empress Dowager Li suddenly backed down.

"Bao Qing, is it interesting for you to say that the Ai family is fighting for this?"

Bao Zheng was taken aback for a moment: "Why did your mother say such a thing?"

Empress Dowager Li laughed at herself: "The Ai family is obviously the emperor's biological mother, and was persecuted by a traitor, but now she has to compete with this traitor for her son's trust. Tears have fallen.

Bao Zheng saluted: "The empress dowager must not think about it."

Empress Dowager Li said: "What is Bao Qing's opinion?"

Bao Zheng said: "The code of ethics is the foundation of the country, and it must never be abandoned! If the empress dowager is wronged and cannot be blamed, and she is tossed around in the world, wouldn't it be that the emperor is inhumane and unrighteous? How can I clear my grievances? What's more, the emperor is wise and wise, and now he is just confused for a moment, and when he understands it, he will know what to do! The empress dowager must have confidence in the emperor."

The Baxian King nodded repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, Bao Qing is right, the emperor will understand, otherwise he would not acquiesce in Bao Qing's trial of Guo Huai."

Gongsun Ce also spoke at the side: "That's right, Madam, do you still remember the emperor's imperial decree?"

Empress Dowager Li's eyes suddenly shone brightly: "My family remembers that the emperor's imperial edict said, 'To order the majestic mother of the country, [-] years of grievance'."

Gongsun Ce laughed and said, "That's right. Since the emperor has said such words in the imperial decree, it means that he will definitely welcome the empress back to the palace. The empress might as well wait a few more days."

The Eight Sage King nodded approvingly: "Mr. Gongsun is really smart, I really admire him."

Gongsun Ce shook his head: "The lord is too famous, but if the empress only cares about it, it will cause chaos. If she pays too much attention to the matter of interrogating Guo Huai, she will inevitably ignore other things. When the empress calms down, she will find out that the student is just playing tricks."

The Eighth Sage King waved his hand: "Mr. Gongsun is too modest. This time, the emperor's wife was able to return to the capital and clear her grievances. Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion contributed a lot. When the matter is over, I will invite the emperor to reward everyone in Kaifeng Mansion for their meritorious deeds." .”

Bao Zheng said: "This is the responsibility of the humble minister, why dare to reward, humble minister..."

"Report!" A voice from outside the door interrupted Bao Zheng's words. After calling people in, the yamen servant's face obviously had a frightened expression.Everyone was still a little strange at first, but it became clear after he finished speaking.

It is well known that Guo Huai was detained in the Kaifeng mansion, and it is also known that Guo Huai is the Empress Dowager Liu's confidant, so it is easy to guess what Liu Tai will do in the Kaifeng mansion now.

It was nothing more than to come to Kaifeng Mansion Xingshi to inquire about the crime, and take Guo Huai back by the way.

Bao Zheng glanced at the Eight Sage Kings.Originally, he was worried about how to interrogate Empress Dowager Liu. Even though she made a big mistake, she was still a high-ranking empress dowager before the emperor issued a formal imperial decree. It was so difficult to interrogate her. If Zheng doesn't follow the plan, then he is not the prefect of Kaifeng.

But it would be fine if only everyone from Kaifeng Mansion was here, but the problem is that there is still the Eight Sage Kings here.After all, this is a relative of the emperor, and now the emperor's father is still holding the golden mace in his hand that "beats the emperor unconsciously and slanders the ministers at the bottom". It is to despise Tianwei.

Bao Zheng looked at the Eight Sage Kings with some uncertainty, not sure what he was going to say.

At this time, Empress Dowager Li said lightly: "Eight Emperor Brother."

The Eight Sage King's expression was serious, and he bowed slightly to Queen Mother Li: "Sister-in-law."

Empress Dowager Li said: "Originally I had to ask Bao Qing to go to the palace to get someone, but now it's all right, the traitor Liu will come to the door by himself, which saves the effort of mourning the family. But Bao Qing is not qualified enough, you and him Let's go together and bring Mrs. Liu to the court, let Bao Qing try the case carefully, so that I can really pay the Ai family justice."

The heart of the Eight Sage Kings has now become clear and the truth has come to light, so there is no need to seek justice.But now it is almost certain that Empress Dowager Li will go back to control the harem, and the feeling that Empress Dowager Liu gave him is indeed not as good as that of Empress Dowager Li, so after hesitating for a moment, the Baxian King nodded: "Sister-in-law Huang is right. Bao Zheng, you both Let me go."

Although this matter was beyond Bao Zheng's expectation, it did save him a lot of trouble, so Bao Zheng cooperated very much: "Yes."

Seeing this, Mu Qiao lowered his voice and bit Zhan Zhao's ear: "Have you noticed, in fact, Empress Dowager Li is also a black man."

Zhan Zhao looked puzzled: "What?" He found that Mu Qiao usually spoke a lot of words that he didn't understand the meaning at all, could it be the dialect of their beggars?But when he first entered the rivers and lakes, he also made friends with many beggars and communicated with each other, but he had never heard these words.

Mu Qiao was stunned for a moment: "Uh... that is, the mind is not as simple as it appears on the surface, it looks gentle and harmless, but it has a very deep meaning."

Zhan Zhao savored it carefully, and felt that although Mu Qiao's language was a bit too straightforward and unfamiliar, once the meaning was expressed, it was very vivid and easy to accept.

He nodded and said: "I see. The empress came out of the palace. Although the concubine's heirs were weak, there were many concubines. There were endless battles in the harem, and even many unborn princes and daughters died. Fighting in the harem. Being able to survive under such conditions, the empress's wisdom is extraordinary."

Mu Qiao thought for a while, and it was true: "I underestimated your mother." How can women in the harem be simple?What's more, after suffering such a big loss, he almost lost his own and his son's fate. If he is still stupid and sweet, then he really has a problem with his IQ.

Zhan Zhao patted her on the head: "Okay, don't think about it, your lord is going to be promoted, let's go and prepare in advance."

Mu Qiao was stunned for a moment, then pulled Zhan Zhao back: "Well...wouldn't it be better if I didn't go?"
