Chapter 77: Sick Emperor Sao Empress

Bao Zheng followed the eunuch out of the side hall, but walked into a Jingyi big room. Sandalwood was burning in the room, which made people calm down. Bao Zheng had only walked more than ten steps, but had already seen a bead curtain in front of him. Bao Zheng knew that he could not cross the road, so he immediately knelt down and bowed: "Bao Zheng, a grass man, bow to the emperor, long live the emperor."

At this moment, a violent cough was heard in the pearl curtain, followed by a panic-provoking, and just as Bao Zheng was a little confused, he heard the voice of a lazy woman behind the pearl curtain: "The emperor has already allowed you to flatten! Bao Zheng can come into the study!"

Bao Zheng was even more confused when he heard the voice. Wasn’t he here to meet the saint today? How could it be a woman talking?

Since Bao Zheng received the woman's promise, he immediately stood up and went into the bead curtain. As soon as Bao Zheng stepped into the bead curtain, he saw that there were various books on all sides of the room. On one of the steps, there was a golden dragon desk, and behind the desk was a spacious dragon chaise. On the dragon chaise was a long-bearded elder who looked pale and dressed in a dragon robe. On the chair next to the elder, there was a young woman dressed in a phoenix robe and looked elegant and luxurious.

At this time, Bao Zheng heard a familiar voice: "Bao Zheng! You shouldn't have saluted you when you see the emperor and the queen?"

Bao Zheng followed the voice and saw that there was an eunuch around him at some point. The eunuch was Liu Mei, the leader of Longhu Hall!

Although Bao Zheng had already performed the rituals just now, he had to tribute again. Just as Bao Zheng wanted to kneel down again, the emperor, who was originally sick and had no strength to speak, gasped and said, "Bao Zheng! You were summoned by me. No need to be too polite! Come on! Give Bao Zheng a seat!"

Bao Zheng was a little shocked when he heard the emperor's words. Since ancient times, only powerful people or close ministers of the emperor could get the emperor's throne in person. Bao Zheng was only the first time he saw the emperor, and the emperor gave him the throne to him, which was really strange.

The queen beside her said coldly at this time: "Master, Bao Zheng has no official or rank, and has no merits and fame. I am afraid that there will be criticism in the court for your kindness."

The originally weak emperor was on the dragon throne at this time. He was excited, and his pale and bloodless face instantly shone with a strange flush. He said, "I am not dead yet! It's not your turn to take charge! Liu Mei hasn't taken the queen to leave quickly?"

After hearing the emperor's reprimand, the queen's face turned pale. Liu Mei, who was standing beside her, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Empress, since the emperor has given the order, please ask Empress to return to the palace."

The queen's face froze at Liu Mei, and said in a bad tone: "I am so angry today. I don't know you. I'm very angry today. I'm very frustrated today. I still don't want to sit there. I'll find a good day to sit there and sit for a few hours."

Bao Zheng heard the queen's words, although on the surface, he was actually referring to Liu Mei. The topic was directed at the emperor, obviously hoping that the emperor would die soon so that he could occupy the study room without any control and take charge of the government.

After hearing what the queen said, the emperor was so angry that he was panting and coughed violently. The queen didn't look at the emperor, and immediately helped Liu Mei and walked out of the study.

Bao Zheng couldn't help feeling a chill when he saw the queen twisting her waist and leaving coquettishly. This queen must be the famous Empress Liu Liu E in history. She is a strong woman known as the Martial Empress of the Song Dynasty. She gave birth to a son through her womb. The current crown prince Zhao Zhen is actually the adopted son of Empress Liu, but she calls Zhao Zhen his own son to the outside world. Zhao Zhen has always been kept in the dark and has called Liu E the mother since she was a child. Although Empress Liu is known as Zhao Zhen's biological mother, she has not raised the young Zhao Zhen, but has raised a cowardly and kind-hearted Yang Jieyu. Zhao Zhen has been with the kind-hearted Yang Jieyu since childhood. Perhaps this is also the reason why Zhao Zhen is simple and kind by nature.

The historical incident of Empress Liu giving birth to a child through her womb has always been talked about by literati and poets. Later, some literati used opera screenwriters to fabricate the "Cat Fighting Prince" game in Bao Gong's case. Bao Zheng turned into a black face in the opera, but brought the vicious Empress Liu to justice. Perhaps because he grew up watching the Bao Gong's case since he was a child, he was familiar with "Cat Fighting Prince" and Bao Zheng felt disgusted with Empress Liu.

The memories of the past life learning history flashed through Bao Zheng's mind, but all this happened just in the flash. At this time, a palace maid brought a chair and came over.

Since Bao Zheng received the emperor's grace, he immediately sat half of his butt on the chair. Seeing Bao Zheng's cautious behavior, the emperor couldn't help but look admiring and said, "I have heard Lord Kou mention you many times, and the prince has also talked about you to me many times. When I see you today, I am indeed a handsome talent. Bao Zheng! Do you know what I am doing when I come to you today?"

Bao Zheng's mind turned sharply. After the conversation between the emperor and Empress Liu just now, he could guess some of his mistakes and immediately said: "Although Caomin has some ideas, his ideas are too abrupt, but he dare not say it clearly. Moreover, in the palace,,,,,"

Although Bao Zheng did not say it clearly, he had already hinted that he had many ears and eyes in the study, which was inconvenient to speak out.

The emperor nodded at this time, and was about to get up and give in to orders, but after a violent cough, he gave up getting up and said, "Apart from Bao Zheng, everyone else retreated a hundred steps away. The imperial guards obeyed the order! If anyone dared to take the lead, kill him without any hesitation!"

The emperor gave an order, but heard footsteps outside the house. Bao Zheng did not see many guards in the room at first. After hearing the footsteps, he realized that the guards were hiding in a hidden place. The palace maids and eunuchs in the study were all eager to go out of the house, fearing that they would walk slowly and anger the moody emperor.

When he was waiting for the only two people to go to the study room, Bao Zheng and the Emperor Zhao Heng were left, Zhao Heng said, "Now I have blocked my left and right. Do you have any ideas but it doesn't matter."

Bao Zheng stood up at this time and said seriously: "If Bao Zheng guessed well, the emperor only had one thing to ask me for! That was to cultivate Bao Zheng, with the intention of making Bao Zheng the prince's right-hand man!"

A trace of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he couldn't help but speak: "Kou Zhun has always told me that Bao Zheng is smart, and today it seems that he is well-known. The prince is still young, and almost everyone around him is close to him with various purposes. I asked the prince and Kou Zhun to travel south together to learn the way of governing the world and experience the suffering of the people. Another purpose is to let him find someone he can trust. But the prince chose the only person he can trust, and that person is Bao Zheng you!"

Zhao Heng finished speaking in one breath, but he gasped and coughed violently.
