The night had sunk, and the red star was still shining every night, and the constellation cloud was even more beautiful.

Fanchen has a special name for this, called "The Other Shore Flower Nebula", referred to as the Other Shore Cloud. Because its color is bright red, it is shaped like a flower on the other side, and the main star and auxiliary stars are continuous, like dense clouds, and like the petals of a flower on the other side.

Looking at the nebula, Liu Li walked down the steps and walked into the deep garden of the harem.

Liu Li looked ahead and asked Gao Hai in a low voice: "Is it okay for Gonggong Liu to be under house arrest in the Measuring Heart Pavilion by the queen mother?

Gao Hai understood Liu Li's thoughts, he glanced at the building complex in front of him, and the expression on his face changed and changed, as if he was expecting and a little worried.

"Gonggong Liu is the personal attendant of the former emperor, and he is a generation of heroes, and no one dares to snub him. The relationship between the emperor and Gonggong Liu has always been good, and there are correspondence between him if he doesn't go to see him, which is also good for him, so as not to make the queen mother jealous and suspicious. In this regard, Grandpa Liu will definitely not have any complaints!"

"Actually, if I hadn't found out some signs, I wouldn't have rushed to ask him! Now that there are many suspicious cases and suspicious points, I can only try someone who knows. There are not many veterans in the palace anymore, most of them have passed away or returned to their hometowns, and Gonggong Liu is the key person!"

Gao Hai nodded, "However, if this matter really implicates the Queen Mother, presumably Gonggong Liu will also be embarrassed!"

Liu Li knew that Gao Hai was right, but he still had to ask clearly.

"Although Gonggong Liu has an indescribable grudge with his mother, since he chose to obey the edict of the emperor, he must have chosen to help me. If he doesn't report it, how can he rest assured? However, I am only tempting, and I will not embarrass him!"

"The emperor is just probing the truth, will that cause the queen mother's guilt?"

"Probably not, I believe that the queen mother will be of great use in keeping him in the palace, and I will never attack him because of one of my greetings!"

As he spoke, Liu Li and Gao Hai had already come to the residence of Gonggong Liu in Beiyuan. The Measuring Heart Pavilion is very deserted, but you can smell the fragrance of tea from afar, which is the unique snow chrysanthemum fragrant tea of Kunlun Mountain.

"It turns out that Gonggong Liu knows that I am coming!"

Gao Hai looked around and whispered to Liu Li: "Your Majesty, don't stay long. When I leave the palace, I'm the only one here, I'm afraid it's not very safe!"

"Okay, I'll be out soon!"

Before entering the Measuring Heart Pavilion, Liu Li also looked at the plaque and thought: Why did the queen mother let Father-in-law Liu live here?

The fragrance of tea is far away, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and it is very leisurely and elegant here.

A middle-aged man, dressed in plain and simple civilian clothes, sits quietly making tea. I saw that his face was serene, his expression was pleasant, and he did not have the complicated looks of the people in the palace. He is only focused on boiling tea, and the taste of that tea is also a must.

"Father-in-law Liu, the tea you brewed is still so fragrant!"

"The emperor is here, come and sit, I haven't been to Kunlun for a long time, right?

Liu Li sat over, first looked at Gonggong Liu, and saw that he was safe and sound, so he put his mind on the tea.

"Since I was a child, you have given me a taste of this thing, and you have also implicated me with Kunlun. Thinking about it now, I am still quite excited, and I can't help but want to thank you for your careful cultivation and sincere teachings at that time, and you paved so many roads for me!"

"Every time the emperor sees me, he can't thank you enough, this is the first emperor! Although I teach with my heart, I still can't let you grow up smoothly. The road was bumpy, everything took a sharp turn, fortunately, you were resolute and brave, and you still kept your heart in the wind and rain!"

Liu Li smiled, and while drinking tea with Liu's father-in-law, he thought about how to ask.

"Although everything has not gone well, I have always been careful and persistent. What I believe in, I will do with great difficulty. Grandpa Liu knows that I'm coming back today, so he should also know my intention, right?!"

"There are some things that are not good to know too much, do you really want to stick to them? Things in this world appear every second, and human feelings are intertwined, which complicates all these so-called 'truths'. What's wrong with having a dustless heart, no quarrel with the world, and forgetting the old things in the flowing water?"

"You don't want to reveal what happened back then?"

Gonggong Liu smiled and said nothing, and poured tea for Liu Li again.

"Do you know? In this palace, I trust you and Gao Hai the most. There used to be a queen mother, but ......" Liu Li smiled a little sadly, "You should know, but you didn't tell me this, do you really have a better relationship with the queen mother?"

Gonggong Liu's expression was a little obscure, he just stared at Liu Li and never replied.

"I know you've always had your own perseverance. You have been good to me, and you do not owe it to the mother, you have always been balanced among us. I didn't know it before, but now I can see it!"

"Why do you think that?"

Liu Li paused for a long time, and he looked at Gonggong Liu blankly. "If you really don't want to say anything, I won't force you. Can you tell me who my birth mother is, though?"

Father-in-law Liu's surprise lasted for a long time, and then turned to lamentation, shame, and pity.

"I'm sorry, kid! I shouldn't have lied to you, but I ......"

Liu Li shook his head and took Gonggong Liu's hand. "It's okay, I don't care about that, and I'm not going to pursue it. Don't worry, I will be grateful for the Queen Mother's nurturing feelings, and I won't embarrass you. But I have the right to know my birth mother!"

Gonggong Liu nodded, let go of all his serene appearance, he planned to confess everything to Liu Li.

"I know that you have been pursuing the case of the former emperor, but it has a lot to do with the previous matter. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid of discord between you and the Queen Mother, but now you are at odds. I'm very entangled, between you, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor, you are all people I need to protect, but I ......"

Liu Li nodded vigorously, "I know, this is a matter that affects the whole body! I also know that you have a long-term grudge against the queen mother." I don't plan to pursue too much, I just want to know the truth, the truth about my biological mother and father, this is not wrong, right? You see that although I am investigating, I do not plan to make it public, and this does not make you let go of your worries?"

Grandpa Liu smiled, stood up, and walked to the window.

The stars outside were caught in his eyes, and it also made his thoughts drift far away. In his heart and face, he couldn't be so peaceful anymore, and he gave up struggling.

Because......

The laughter of the queen and the laughter of the first emperor appeared in the night sky, and then it became the grief of the queen mother, the entrustment of the first emperor, and then extended to the ambition of the empress and the counterattack of Liu Li......

Father-in-law Liu witnessed everything, and also tried to stop, protect, persuade, promise, protect... But he couldn't keep what he wanted, and he didn't get the peace and prosperity he wanted to see.

He always felt ashamed of someone, and it wasn't until after the death of the emperor that he realized that behind all conspiracies there was his own share, which was a sin that could not be made up for in a lifetime.

"Do you really want to know?" said Gonggong Liu.

Liu Li heard this sentence containing feelings in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and frightened, there seemed to be other meanings behind this sentence, what did Gonggong Liu mean?

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it! Compared with people, I still hope to be able to keep people around!"

Liu Li said, got up to leave, he didn't want to make Liu's father-in-law uncomfortable, and he didn't want him to fall into a mixed quagmire because of his own questions.

"Wait!" Father-in-law Liu walked behind Liu Li and sighed, "You are really like your father, humble, courteous, kind and upright. You can all give up those things for the sake of others, it's ......"

Liu Li turned around and looked at Gonggong Liu with a little surprise. "Why are you suddenly sentimental? I don't want you to be so entangled, and if there are so many things that you can't talk about, then forget it! I want you to live peacefully and peacefully, even though you think I've never been here!"

"No!"

Father-in-law Liu accepted all his emotions and pulled Liu Li into the back room. The inner room is the dormitory of Grandpa Liu, which is simple and unpretentious, but there is a large cabinet.

Father-in-law Liu turned the vase on the cabinet, and a clamp door suddenly opened on the cabinet, which seemed to be a secret agency.

"This cabinet has been with me for more than ten years, and I have moved a lot of places, but I am reluctant to discard it!"

"What are you taking me to see what this is doing?" Liu Li knew what Gonggong Liu was going to take, but he was very afraid to see it.
