Although Guo Wei was born in the military and killed many people, he was a rare benevolent king. Liu Chengyou wiped out Guo Wei's entire family, but Guo Wei still treated Liu's orphans and widowers favorably.

He named Liu Zhiyuan's second son King Chen, and still respected Li as the Queen Mother. The Taiping Palace was the residence where Guo Wei honored Li. Although it was small, it was more luxurious and exquisite than the back pavilion where Guo Wei usually lived.

Not only did the Li family's status remain unchanged, but the food and drink expenses were even better than when Liu Chengyou was in power. In order to prevent the Li family from being too bored, Guo Wei often sent his concubine to visit, but he himself never came.

On the one hand, the middle-aged lady of the Li family still retains her charm, so that she will not be gossiped about by the palace people; on the other hand, it is inevitable that the two of them will be embarrassed when they meet, and there is really nothing to talk about.

After dinner tonight, he walked unconsciously near the Taiping Palace. Looking at the Taiping Palace gate so close to him, Guo Wei was stunned for a while but then turned around.

Old Mutou asked in confusion: "Why did Your Majesty go back again? Do you really not want to find out and let her cause trouble in the palace?"

Guo Wei remained silent, hesitated for a moment and then turned around, "Go and knock on the door!"

Hearing this, Li Tingfang stepped forward and pulled the door knocker and knocked a few times. A high-pitched voice asked from inside: "It's getting late. May I ask who is knocking on the door outside?"

Li Tingfang said angrily: "It's our house! Open the door quickly!"

The two eunuchs opened the palace door, and Li Tingfang was about to shout for the people from the Taiping Palace to come and greet him, but Guo Wei waved his hand to stop him. He stepped into the door, looked around, and went straight to the main hall.

In the palace, green smoke filled the air. A woman in royal attire faced the shrine with her back to the palace door, twirling her rosary beads and chanting something.

However, what is enshrined in the shrine is not a Taoist Buddha, but the spiritual tablet of Liu Zhiyuan, the founder of the Later Han Dynasty. Under the shrine is a piece of shiny armor and a gleaming horizontal sword.

Seeing Guo Wei come in, Gong E who was waiting on the side whispered a few words to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li waved her hand and all the palace people in the palace retreated. She and Guo Wei were left alone. Both of them were silent. The silence was a bit scary, except for the candle wick. Occasionally there is a slight popping sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Guo Weicai said: "The Queen Mother, can you allow me to offer a stick of incense to Emperor Gao?"

Li, who had always had her back to Guo Wei, slowly stood up. When she turned around, Guo Wei couldn't help but be a little surprised. They hadn't seen her for only two or three years, and Li had already aged a lot.

Mrs. Li stepped aside, stretched out her hand and said, "Your Majesty, please!"

Guo Wei stepped forward and took three long incense sticks from the table, lit them on the candle, held them in his hand, bowed before inserting them into the incense burner.

He turned to look at Mrs. Li, "The Queen Mother has nothing to say to me?"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li asked back: "Your Majesty suddenly set foot in the Taiping Palace, isn't it to question me?"

Guo Wei nodded and said: "Okay, let me speak. I want to know if the Queen Mother instigated the eunuch named Li Gongbai to frame the King of Jin?"

Mrs. Li nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"

Guo Wei sighed and said: "Why is this!"

Li replied expressionlessly: "Your Majesty knows it well!"

"The death of Emperor Yin was not my fault. I had a long talk with the Queen Mother at that time and thought that the Queen Mother no longer resented me."

Mrs. Li snorted slightly, "I'm not talking about Emperor Yin. Emperor Yin's death was his own fault. I don't blame Your Majesty."

"Since you don't blame me! Then why do you use this method to retaliate against me!"

Mrs. Li frowned and asked: "Now that things have happened, why would your Majesty bother to act in front of me? I am not for Emperor Yin but for Prince Chen. Your Majesty should know very well how he died."

King Chen was Liu Chengxun, the second son of Liu Zhiyuan. He was born with a disability and suffered from a stubborn disease. In the year when Guo Wei ascended the throne, he died of illness.

"Didn't Prince Chen die of illness?"

"Your Majesty, why do you have to pretend?" Liu's eyebrows were raised in a voice that was a bit more sad and ferocious, "Chengxun was poisoned to death! He was just a useless useless person who had never even been hurt by an ant, let alone an ant.

If he can't threaten your throne, why bother killing him!"

Guo Wei was confused, "Did King Chen be poisoned to death? Why didn't I know that there was no news between the government and the public? I only remember that in the winter of the first year of Guangshun, King Chen was seriously ill and the Queen Mother came out to take care of him. Soon after, King Chen

He died."

"Your Majesty is pretending not to know! I deliberately concealed it, so naturally there is no news between the government and the public."

"The death of King Chen has absolutely nothing to do with me!" Guo Wei faced the shrine and pointed to heaven: "I swear to heaven in front of the high emperor's spiritual throne that the death of King Chen has nothing to do with me. If there is any falsehood, I will kill him on the same day."

The ancients were very careful about their oaths, and would not dare to curse the heaven and the earth casually because of the sesame and mung bean incident. Moreover, Guo Wei really had no need to lie.

Li and Guo Wei have known each other for many years, and when they saw him swearing like this, they began to believe it, "Do you really think it was not done by your Majesty?"

"Please tell me the details, Queen Mother."

"That year Chengxun was seriously ill. I was familiar with his condition and went to the palace to take care of him. Within a few days, his illness improved. Unexpectedly, one night, he suddenly convulsed all over, and finally died with his head and feet connected.

, the state of death is extremely horrific.

At that time, I thought it was His Majesty who had done it, so I quickly collected the body and told people to keep their mouths shut, saying only that he died of a sudden illness."

Li Shi pondered for a moment and continued: "If His Majesty didn't ask someone to do it, then it must be King Jin. Apart from Your Majesty, he is the one who hates me, Mrs. Liu, the most in the world."

"It can't be Fu Ying, he was in Chanzhou at the time..." Guo Wei only said half of what he said and swallowed the rest. Chai Rong was a dignified Jiedu of Yizhou at that time, and he had only a few close friends who died.

"I originally thought it was Your Majesty who did it, and I wanted to use some dirty tricks to make you watch your adopted son, nephew, and son-in-law attack each other without resting in peace. If I had known that it was Prince Jin, I would have killed him directly to vent my hatred. How pitiful

My husband was a hero, but he didn’t even have any blood left behind!”

Li turned around and looked at the shrine, "Ms. Liu killed his wife and children. He killed Liu's descendants in revenge. It was just retaliation. But such vicious methods may damage the moral character. Your Majesty, you can rest assured to let such a cruel person go."

Inherit the throne?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Wei's face showed a bit of relief, "I hope it wasn't Fu Ying who did it. If he has such a cruel heart... then why do I have to endure so hard..."
