Night fell, and it was dark and unusually cold.

Being in the front hall of Drunken Moon Xuan, Liu Li was still thinking about what happened in the afternoon, and that scene made him unforgettable.

Liu Li thought that he could be so calm and how to see it, but he didn't expect the reality to be so explicit and ironic, and he never forgot to mock himself.

"What the hell did I do in my previous life to have to endure so much pain!"

This thought came out, and then another contradiction sprung up: it should be like this, I must have owed her too much in my previous life, maybe I was even more cruel to her before than she was to me now!

Liu Li sighed again and again, and he didn't know that there were all the people gathered in the room, and he was finally awakened by Gao Hai.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the two princes, Princess Lianghua, Concubine Xian and others have arrived!"

Liu Li nodded, put away the lost and depressed mood, and looked at the people in the room.

Everyone had different emotions on their faces, and it seemed that they had changed a lot from the previous gathering in the front hall.

"Now that everyone is together, let's start the trial!" Liu Li returned to his seat and sat down lightly.

Everyone was talking, and they returned to the controversy between Liu Yi and the Queen Mother, and the two refused to give in to the Dongjiao Lake case.

This scene made everyone shocked and frightened. This mother and son are humble and love each other, what's wrong today?

Liu Li was surprised and helpless, and he said to the two: "Queen Mother, eldest brother, can you stop arguing about this matter?"

"Third brother, I am courteous and controversial in this matter, not an offense, don't speak for the queen mother!"

Liu Li wanted to speak and stopped, where did he have the intention of speaking for the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother snorted dissatisfiedly, and said to Liu Li: "Emperor, this matter is not so serious, and it should not be under the jurisdiction of your eldest brother, so let's listen to the advice of the queen mother!"

"Right and wrong, sons have their own ideas!"

"Do you want Xue Concubine to continue to be the favorite concubine of the harem? Such an unbearable person, this Drunken Moon Xuan is not worthy of it!"

"Queen Mother, are you talking too much?" Liu Li paused for a moment, and said in a cold tone: "This matter, as the noble man of Xihai said, I asked her to pick up Xue Concubine back to Drunken Moon Xuan, but it is really surprising that those terrifying things appeared later! This Feng Songli's family accused him of not learning and hooking up with wicked people, maybe it was someone else's lackey! Just by him, the Queen Mother took Xue Concubine into the dungeon and locked her up in that kind of place, is it too much?"

The Queen Mother was shocked and shocked, she had nothing to say for a while, she didn't expect Liu Li to be so direct.

The words of blame are not hidden, not suppressed, and they are so frank that they seem to be eager to punish the crime, not at all like the emperor who is calm and introverted, enduring humiliation and filial piety.

"The mourning family only enforces the law impartially, and has never had any prejudice against Xue Concubine. She admitted it in public, but did not make a defense, and was willing to be punished, even if the mourning family wanted to overturn the case for her, it was impossible to do it. At that time, everyone watched, can the mourning family condone it?"

Liang Hua was angry when he thought of Gexiao, who was still bedridden, and his cold eyes fell on the Queen Mother, and he didn't hide his emotions at all: "Queen Mother, why is that Gexiao Prince also locked up there? Someone has committed murder three times and several times, but the queen mother has turned a blind eye and even prevented the prison visit, what does this mean?"

The cold in the queen mother's heart made her extremely uncomfortable, she suddenly became the target of public criticism, and was criticized and questioned by her own children one by one.

She had never imagined such a situation.

The Queen Mother frowned and sneered a few times, "Today, is the mourning family going to be punished? Is it the fault of the mourning family that all the improper arrangements and mishandling are the fault of the mourning family? Do you think that the big and small things in this palace are all pointed out by the mourning family?"

"Erchen didn't dare to talk about it, let alone speculate at will. It's just that the queen mother is the most powerful person in the harem of the government and the opposition, and she can control everything and bear everything. I think the queen mother knows this better than her son!"

Looking at the poor eye contact between the Queen Mother and Liu Li, Liu Yi stood up helplessly.

"Queen Mother, third brother, I think this matter should change after that! After all, the harem is the emperor's harem, and the queen mother, as the acting queen, should first manage the court situation! At present, it is no longer a matter of being criticized, but it involves the harmony of mother and child and the stability of the world.

Liu Li's face was expressionless, and he had no thoughts about power. "This matter, after I give justice to Prince Gexiao and Concubine Xue, I will deal with it well!"

The Queen Mother sneered, sat down in the back seat, and sighed a few times. "Let's try the case! If the power is returned, the power will be returned! The mourning family is old, and it is not time to fight with the emperor!"

Liu Li didn't say anything, but Liu Yi and Liu Zhong had a fierce dispute, one said that it should have been returned, and the other was not in favor of returning power.

The Queen Mother and Liu Li looked at each other, and the two key people were silent, just waiting for some sharp contradictions to appear in the situation.

Concubine Xian and He Yu were restless underneath, and they were very helpless and nervous by this royal dispute.

He Yu remembered the scene of finding the shearing in the corner of the imperial garden, and many doubts appeared in his heart. Shearling, what the hell is going on?

At that time, He Yu smelled the smell of medicine and left, and when she saw the shearling lost soul and frightened in the corner and shivering, her expression was very frightened, as if she had encountered something that she couldn't accept.

But is that the case with a failed attempt?

"Fortunately, she was not caught, and she did not recover her memory, otherwise all my thoughts would have been in vain! However, should I keep her? If the Queen Mother knew that I hid her in the Jianqiu Pavilion, would she blame me? Will the emperor guess me because of those medicinal powders, which kind of poison is in Xue Concubine and Gexiao, why didn't he summon me to take a look?"

Concubine Xian patted He Yu's hand and woke her up from her sorrow. "What should we do now? Which side should we stand on in such a fierce struggle?"

"Don't be reckless if you don't ask us for the time being, it's not our turn to intervene in this matter!"

The trial has reached the most critical stage, and all the witnesses have been brought up, including the two palace maids beside the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother glanced at it, and asked in surprise and anger: "Why were the mourning family arrested?"

Liu Yi looked at the two kneeling people and said to the Queen Mother: "These two people have extraordinary identities and have evil intentions, and they were caught by me." If I had been a little later, they might have killed the three of Xue Concubine, after all, this extremely poisonous silver needle could not be saved from entering the skin. If they were used to commit murder, perhaps the evidence of the crime and the cause of death would not be found! These crimes, they have already confessed, can the queen mother have something to say?"

The Queen Mother was stunned and stood up in surprise. "The eldest prince is suspicious of the mourning family?"

In this situation, the Queen Mother didn't even shout "Emperor", she was angry and called "the eldest prince", and everyone knew her sad and indignant mentality.

"Don't worry, the eldest brother doesn't mean that!" Liu Li stood up and walked to the palace maid with a smile. "These two people have committed many mistakes, the eldest brother is persuading you not to protect it, and also persuading you to see the reality clearly! Now there are many people who use your prestige to do evil everywhere, and even palace maids with such an identity dare to murder the powerful, how much power and benefits did the queen mother give to her subordinates?"

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense! This person made a mistake, and it was not the queen mother's will, why should he blame the queen mother with all the power? The subordinate people are swaggering everywhere and doing harm, and the punishment is severe, but they can't be confused with the master!" Liu Zhong was a little dissatisfied, because Liu Li had the upper hand in this game.

Liu Yi stood beside Liu Li, facing the Queen Mother and Liu Zhong, forming an opposing situation.

"Queen Mother, the third brother is not accusing you, but reminding you! In the affairs of the harem, you should not interfere with the family, and you should hand over the power to the third brother and the main concubine. Now, when the people around you make mistakes, everyone will naturally blame you, and they will also discuss the many reasons behind this! If you don't give the third brother some majesty, how will he deal with the three palaces and six courtyards in the future? Who in this world will respect the Son of Heaven?"

The Queen Mother nodded and smiled bitterly. "The emperor is right, this matter is not right for the mourning family, it should not have wronged Xue Concubine and Prince Gexiao, and it should not have been usurping power. Anyway, the mourning family doesn't give any explanation, the emperor will take everything he wants, anyway, the mourning family is already tired of it!"

The Queen Mother has said this kind of thing thousands of times, but she has never really returned to power, and Liu Li has never been reluctant.

The Queen Mother has her own measure in her heart, no matter what, she will slowly cultivate Liu Yi to accept the world. "Now that the emperor is becoming more and more arrogant and stubborn, my son is becoming more and more clear. If I can raise his heart, what if I lose more? The emperor's mind has changed, and the mourning family should also change!"

Liu Li remained silent, stood calmly, and did not drill into the trap of the Queen Mother.

"Third brother, since the queen mother said so, then you should also take back the power and take charge of the government! This world is still the emperor's world, and no one can change the authority of the monarch!" Liu Yi said this, looked behind him, knelt down and said: "Please take back the power!"

The Queen Mother was stunned, and Liu Zhong watched in amazement as everyone knelt down and kowtowed, and their hearts were resentful and dissatisfied. "What are you going to do, son? Is this your scheme, or is it deliberately helping? What should I do with such an embarrassing situation?"

Liu Li looked at the Queen Mother, and after a long time of looking at each other and testing his soul, he helped Liu Yi up. "I'll talk about retrieving power later, and I'll deal with the matter of Drunken Moon Xuan first, after all, this is my top priority. I emphasize again, as long as I am here, no one in Drunken Moon Xuan can be wronged, let alone bullied!"

The Queen Mother smiled coldly, secretly rejoicing in her heart: Up to now, you are most concerned about Xue Concubine, it seems that she really has changed you! Confusing yourself with beauty, what do you think you are going to do? If it is really for Xue Concubine, it is a big deal that I will not mess with her in the future!

"Third brother, I think this time there are people with intentions to make trouble, the purpose is to kill two birds with one stone, and bring down Xue Concubine and Prince Gexiao. At present, it seems that the innocence of Prince Gexiao and Xue Concubine has been proven, and most of the sinners have been found, and the case can be temporarily closed. The details and the people behind them can be found slowly, and the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts first!"

Liu Li nodded, "Okay, put these two palace maids, these jailers, and those people into the heavenly prison, first show their faults, and then punish them by their means." Fengxing, you take people to do it, don't be soft!"

"Yes!"

In addition, Prince Gexiao and Concubine Xue were wronged, and they should be appeased and rewarded for their good lives. Ci Ge laughed at a jade plaque for customs clearance, and the Beihua realm came and went unhindered, and then drafted a peace book and handed it to the prince. Xue Concubine suffered for many days and had difficulty moving, so she was allowed not to be subject to the palace rules and regulations, and she did not need to be disturbed when she saw people. Drunken Moon Xuan is regarded as a royal forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter without a summons!"

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, she could bear it. The more Liu Li is spoiled, the more addicted she is, the more happy she is.

"As for the matter of returning power, it still needs to be discussed again, at present, the sons are in charge of the affairs of the harem, and the government affairs of the former dynasty are still handed over to the queen mother. The imperial court power, the sons already hold one-third, and the military talisman also has half in hand, which is enough. If the queen mother dislikes the tiredness of government affairs, she can hand it over to the eldest brother and second brother!"

Liu Yi and Liu Zhong were both stunned, and the Queen Mother was also shocked, but she was a little more excited and happy.

"What the emperor says is what it is, and the queen mother also thinks that this is the most harmonious!"

The Queen Mother rushed in front of Liu Yi and agreed to the matter, and she was overjoyed in her heart: if she is really addicted to beauty, she can say such things. My son is good, he even knows how to advance by retreating, and he is more proficient in people's hearts than I am, and it seems that I can take some time to transfer some power to him!

"Third brother!" Liu Yi wanted to say more, but was stopped by Liu Zhong.

"Big brother, the third brother's move can ease everyone's relationship, why not do it?" Liu Zhong smiled, "If the eldest brother is afraid that it will go against the way of the monarch and the minister, isn't it okay for the third brother to get the holy decree and the name of my name?"

Liu Li smiled slightly, looking at this situation, his heart was as stable as usual. All of this is under his control.
