"Shameless! There is such an unscrupulous and ignorant king like you in the world! How dare you spy on me bathing!"
In a daze, Zhao Zheng only felt a majestic and slightly charming Yu Jie's voice coming from his ears. The next second, he felt a pain in his chest, as if he had been kicked to the ground.
Opening his eyes suddenly, he found that he was actually in a splendid palace. Behind a screen not far away, stood a classical beauty with an exquisite figure, breakable skin, and exquisite facial features.
And he was wearing a gold-plated dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon!
"Have I traveled through time?"
Zhao Zheng felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and then a wave of unfamiliar memories came rushing back.
He had indeed traveled through time. In his previous life, as China's ace peacekeeper, he died heroically in a mission to protect his comrades. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, he traveled through time to a dynasty named Daqian and became a The current emperor!
But this Emperor Daqian was a complete loser. Since he came to the throne, he had been eating, drinking and having fun all day long, regardless of political affairs. All matters of the court were left to the Empress Dowager Yu who listened behind the curtain. He was just a puppet emperor with no real power.
Now, he has committed an extremely ridiculous scandal - sneaking into the Queen Mother Yu's palace in the middle of the night, peeking at the Queen Mother Yu taking a bath, and even being caught!
At this time, an imperial guard stepped forward and kicked Zhao Zheng to the ground. Then he pulled out his saber with a clang, put it on Zhao Zheng's neck, and said coldly:
"If you dare to offend the Queen Mother - you will be killed without mercy!"
Zhao Zheng, who was wearing a dragon robe, fell to the ground, looking as embarrassed as a bereaved dog. He couldn't believe that the emperor who had traveled through time could still be so cowardly!
Seeing the knife being held to his neck, Zhao Zheng asked in a deep voice:
"I am the Emperor of Daqian, you dare to kill me?"
The Ouchi guard smiled coldly, his eyes full of disdain, and said disdainfully:
"Emperor Daqian? Bah!"
"Who in the world doesn't know that I only have the Queen Mother Yu, not the emperor! You are just a puppet in the hands of the Queen Mother Yu. Killing you is like killing a dog. Why don't you dare?!"
At this time, Queen Mother Yu was wrapped in a thin bath towel and gracefully walked out from behind the screen, her explosive figure ready to be revealed.
She waved her hand towards the guard and said calmly:
"Forget it, Commander Zhang, although he is a wimp, after all, he still has the blood of my royal family flowing through his veins. Let's just give him a life and slap him ten times as punishment."
Empress Dowager Yu was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, as beautiful as a flower. She was not Zhao Zheng's biological mother, but one of the late emperor's most favored beauties and the former queen of the Daqian Empire.
Because of Queen Mother Yu's beauty, there were rumors in the court that Zhao Zheng, a foolish king, was treasonous and had evil intentions towards the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the matter was getting louder and louder, the princes, princesses, concubines, eunuchs, and maids in the harem heard the news and rushed over. They saw Queen Mother Yu, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, and Zhao Zheng, who was captured by the imperial guards. No explanation was needed at all, they guessed what happened.
He must have been a debauched and immoral king who peeped at the Queen Mother taking a bath and was caught red-handed.
For a time, sighs, accusations, and curses were heard endlessly.
Everyone is saying that Zhao Zheng, this ridiculous and useless waste, is not worthy of being the emperor. He is simply a disgrace to the royal family and a scum of the Zhao family!
At this moment, Commander Zhang, who had received the order from Queen Mother Yu, put away the saber in his hand, slowly squatted down in front of Zhao Zheng, picked up his collar, and said viciously:
"The unjust and stupid king peeked at the Queen Mother bathing, and the punishment is - ten slaps on the mouth!"
Having said this, he rounded his arms and prepared to torture Zhao Zheng!
If it had been in the past, this cowardly emperor would have knelt down obediently and accepted his punishment, and would never have dared to say a word "no".
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zheng suddenly changed his attitude today. Before Commander Zhang could slap him down, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed Commander Zhang's shoulder, narrowed his eyes and said:
"I am the most powerful person in the world. Who do you think you are? You dare to slap my mouth?"
Commander Zhang was startled when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice:
"I am the imperial guard, Zhang Xiong, the commander-in-chief of the imperial court! I take orders directly from the Queen Mother Yu, and I can walk in the palace with a sword! With the Queen Mother's orders, I can slap your mouth!"
After saying that, he waved his big hand and slapped it towards Zhao Zheng's face!
At this critical moment, Zhao Zheng rolled on the spot, first dodged Zhang Xiong's slap, then turned over and swept his legs, knocking him to the ground, and then took the opportunity to pull out the saber from his waist, with a clang, Bring a touch of cold light!
Everyone never expected that Zhao Zheng, who used to be unlearned and unskilled, would be so powerful in martial arts, and they were dumbfounded for a moment.
Zhang Xiong, in particular, stared at Zhao Zheng in disbelief and said in astonishment:
"You...how could you..."
Zhao Zheng sneered and said calmly:
"You want to ask, how can I be so skilled? How can I take your sword so easily? Is that right?"
Because now Zhao Zheng is no longer the loser he was before. He is a time traveler and an outstanding peacekeeping warrior!
Looking at the panicked Zhang Xiong in front of him, Zhao Zheng said in a deep voice:
"A mere imperial guard, just a watchdog of mine, dares to commit such a crime and offend the Holy Emperor!"
"Dancing with swords and fists in front of the emperor will be regarded as treason! Those who conspire against him will be executed immediately!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zheng swung the sword in his hand!
Just hearing a scream, the guard commander Zhang Xiong - his head fell to the ground!
Seeing that the useless emperor was so decisive in killing, and without hesitation, he slew Empress Dowager Yu's confidant Zhang Xiong with a knife, and everyone in the harem was shocked!
Queen Mother Yu was even more furious, her beautiful face turned red, she pointed at Zhao Zheng and cursed:
"The ignorant and ignorant king!"
"You were obviously the one who peeped at me bathing and was discovered by Commander Zhang on the spot. You actually dared to bite back and kill Commander Zhang who had done his duty well. It's really unjust!"
"Is it because you are the emperor that you can kill innocent people indiscriminately and treat human life lightly?"
When the princes and princesses heard the Queen Mother's question, they all expressed their condemnation:
"How can your Majesty do this?"
"General Zhang died unjustly!"
"Hunjun! Hunjun..."
"When the emperor breaks the law, he shall be guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
"..."
However, facing the aggressive Empress Dowager Yu and the angry crowd, Zhao Zheng sneered, turned around, and calmly wiped the blood on the tip of the knife with his dragon robe, and asked calmly:
"Queen Mother Yu, it was me who peeked at the Queen Mother taking a bath just now, and Zhang Xiong caught me."
"Or is this all just a trap deliberately set by the Queen Mother and Zhang Xiong to trick me into coming here?"
"If Empress Dowager Yu hadn't sent a message after dinner to invite me to come to the palace to talk, how could I have happened to come to the palace when the Empress Dowager was taking a bath?"
