As the empress dowager of a country, it has been a long time since Empress Dowager Liu looked at people from a disadvantaged position.Now she is standing in the courtroom, even though she is the empress dowager, she has to look up to Bao Zheng.

"Bao Qing, you are a courtier, but you stand in the top position of Ai's family. What's the reason?" Empress Dowager Liu raised her brows, and looked at Bao Zheng in the hall quite imposingly.

Bao Zheng stood up and bowed to Empress Dowager Liu: "Your Majesty, this is the court of Kaifeng Mansion. Courtesy cannot be revoked. Your Majesty knows the law and understands the law. She will definitely understand Bao Zheng's difficulties."

Standing below, Mu Qiao couldn't help admiring Bao Zheng's art of speaking.

Although these words are obviously flattering the Empress Dowager Liu, they are secretly running on her. If she still lets Bao Zheng come down, she will treat the laws of the Song Dynasty as nothing. will agree.But if he followed the national law, then Bao Zheng would overwhelm Empress Dowager Liu once again.

It was the first time to find Chen Lin and take him in, and it was the second time to be prevented from attacking and killing in the downtown area.

Empress Dowager Liu obviously also figured this out, she gritted her teeth, but held back, looked at Bao Zheng and said, "Then Bao Qing should take good care of the country's laws."

Bao Zheng saluted again: "Thank you Queen Mother for your understanding! I don't know if the Queen Mother came to Kaifeng Mansion because of Guo Huai and Eunuch Guo?"

Empress Dowager Liu nodded: "That's right. Yesterday Guo Huai was ordered by Ai Jiayi to go out to the palace to do business, and he hasn't returned yet. Ai Jia heard that he was in your house, so he came to ask when he can be released."

Bao Zheng looked surprised: "The Queen Mother just sent someone to ask about this matter, why is there a need to make this trip in person?"

Empress Dowager Liu turned dark after hearing this.

She didn't want to make this trip either, but the emperor didn't know why, shortly after she sent Guo Huai out, he suddenly withdrew all the people around her, and instead came a few people whom he had never seen before.Although Empress Dowager Liu didn't know what happened, she also had a premonition that it had something to do with those people in Kaifeng Mansion.And she still had a bad feeling that if she didn't come this time, it might be irreversible, so she only thought about it for a moment, and then sent someone to arrange to leave the palace.

But if you tell Bao Zheng about these things, isn't that just to give others a clue?Empress Dowager Liu has been in the harem for so many years, so it is natural that she has no such tricks.Hearing this, she just took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said: "The Ai family has been in the harem for so many years, and few people care about it. Even the emperor is busy with state affairs, so he can't often be at the knees of the Ai family. Only Guo Huai, he has always been with you." Looking at Aijia, although there is a difference in respect and inferiority, in Aijia's heart, he has long been regarded as a relative of Aijia, and he was detained by your Kaifeng mansion for no reason, of course Aijia will come to ask what happened."

Bao Zheng was neither humble nor overbearing: "The empress dowager is sympathetic to the servants, and she is grateful for her humble position. It's just that Eunuch Guo is involved in a shocking case, and the Kaifeng government cannot let him go. I hope the empress dowager will be sympathetic!"

Empress Dowager Liu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she felt bad.Could it be that Bao Zheng really asked something from Guo Huai's mouth?But Guo Huai shouldn't have betrayed himself so easily...

However, Empress Dowager Liu was full of thoughts in her heart, and her acting skills still supported her expression on the surface. She said in surprise: "Guo Huai was involved in a major case? Why didn't the Ai family know? He usually lives in the deep palace with the Ai family and does not go out. Committing a big crime?"

Bao Zheng said: "Now that the lowly position is about to be promoted to the court for interrogation, if the Empress Dowager has any doubts, she might as well listen to the case with the Eight Sage Kings."

Empress Dowager Liu pretended to be thinking, and nodded after a while: "Alright, let the Ai family hear what Guo Huai has done without telling the Ai family."

Bao Zheng nodded and asked someone to seat Empress Dowager Liu next to the Eight Sage Kings.The Eighth Sage King greeted the sister-in-law, and then sat upright without looking sideways.

Empress Dowager Liu has not been very familiar with this little uncle since she entered the palace. After becoming Empress Dowager, the two should have gotten close, but unexpectedly they became even more distant. Therefore, Empress Dowager Liu is not surprised by the behavior of Eight Sage Kings now, nor does she care too much. He just sat and looked at the hall, looking very decent.

Mu Qiao watched Bao Zheng deal with the Empress Dowager Liu from the sidelines, and she was so admiring that she whispered to Zhan Zhao, "This empress dowager is really good at pretending, she looks like nothing happened."

Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry at her behavior.She is bold enough to discuss other people's gossip almost in front of the Lord.But satisfying the gossip desire of his future wife is something every man should do.

What's more, Empress Dowager Liu has no martial arts, so it is impossible for them to be able to hear the voices of the audience, even a fly falling on the ground.

So Zhan Zhao fulfilled Mu Qiao's desire to gossip without hesitation, saying, "Don't underestimate those who finally won the court battle, their hearts are more important than the money in your purse."

Mu Qiao thought about it after listening, and said, "Why do I think you're jealous?"

Zhan Zhao didn't realize it for a moment: "You're jealous of them?"

Mu Qiao shook his head, and said solemnly: "No, I'm jealous of my money."

Zhan Zhao: "..." He turned his head and looked at the court with a serious face, "I've been promoted."

As soon as Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Bao Zheng just finished shooting the gavel, and all the government servants shouted "mighty", so that Mu Qiao couldn't continue to ask, he pursed his mouth in boredom, and stared at the court just like Zhan Zhao.

Seeing Mu Qiao's movements from the corner of Zhan Zhao's eyes, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth and smile slightly.In the past, no matter who Mu Qiao was facing, what emotion, or what to say, his expression was always calm.But now facing him, it seems that the expression is getting richer and richer.

This obviously shows that the former Mu Qiao may not have a cold personality, otherwise he would not have become more and more presumptuous and natural in front of him.Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao felt a little distressed.

"Bring Guo Huai!" Bao Zheng shouted loudly, shaking Zhan Zhao from his own thoughts.

Now is not the time to be distracted!Zhan Zhao pinched himself, as punishment, to wake himself up and stop distracting.

Mu Qiao didn't notice Zhan Zhao's thoughts, but felt that Zhan Zhao really had a way. Just now when Bao Zheng said, she would have knelt down at ordinary times, but now because of the wooden boards tied behind her legs, she didn't kneel down when she wanted to. It works!

... It's just that the leg hurts a little QAQ.

Guo Huai had already been brought up at this time, and when he saw Mu Qiao, his legs went limp in fright—after all, Mu Qiao almost poked a hole in his neck to make him come out.

Also because of this deterrence, Guo Huai knelt down honestly and said: "The prisoner Guo Huai has seen Lord Bao."

Hearing this claim, Empress Dowager Liu couldn't hold back for a moment, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Guo Huai in disbelief.

The meaning of this sentence was very clear and simple to Empress Dowager Liu: Guo Huai pleaded guilty.What guilt?There is too much knowledge here.Guo Huai had a lot of lives in his hands, but Empress Dowager Liu didn't think that ordinary court ladies would be tortured and killed, and someone would go to file a complaint with the governor of Kaifeng.

Therefore, no accident, it should be the incident more than 20 years ago.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Liu felt strangely relieved.
