No matter how hysterical, it is just a short-term emotional vent and release, in order to gain some psychological comfort and maintain that lonely and pitiful self-esteem.

But it didn't help the reality. Liu Yan's problem had been put directly in front of him by Concubine Hui. How should he deal with it?Do you really plan to let Liu Shan hang on to the title of prince for the rest of his life without any treatment?
Regarding this point, Emperor Liu himself didn't know for sure. After all, he was his own son, and he hadn't made any big mistakes. Just to take care of the face that most likely only he cared about, was he being too fussy about it?

However, how could it be justified if he changed his attitude just now? After all, just now, he had so firmly refuted Concubine Hui and drove her away.Even if he wants to fall out, just treat it as the punishment is over, and he still needs time to buffer. Otherwise, won't it look abrupt and stiff, and where can he put his old face?
Perhaps Emperor Liu himself didn't realize that the older he got, the more stubborn he became, the more unreasonable he became, and he was obsessed with saving face.In his early years, he could even trample on things like face and use it to wipe his butt, but now, he regards it as a treasure and cherishes it very much.
He believed that imperial power was supreme and uncompromising, but in fact, he was full of compromises. The ferociousness and stubbornness he showed was more like a disguise. The louder he shouted, the softer his behavior became.After all, he is getting old and twilight, which is completely different from the strong inner strength he had in his early years.

After thinking about it, he re-established his guard against Emperor Liu, and had already made a decision. He would just wait for a while to restore the treatment that Liu Shan deserved.
However, does this still seem too weak and compromising for a woman?Slowly, Emperor Liu fell into the kind of arrogance that was almost illogical and based entirely on personal imagination.

But after thinking too much, there was always something to be gained. Emperor Liu's old eyes suddenly brightened. Perhaps, he could wait until he died and the prince ascended the throne.When the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will always need to show kindness to his subordinates. Starting with his own brothers, giving this grace to the prince seems to be a good way to avoid his own embarrassment.

However, Emperor Liu soon shook his head again. What if the prince didn't know his intention?What if he has some scruples, or suppresses his brothers and refuses to do anything?
Should we explain it in advance?This seems inappropriate. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? Emperor Liu does something, why should he be secretive and stingy?
While Emperor Liu was making crazy speculations, Hu De came back again, dissatisfied with his thoughts being disturbed.Seeing the dissatisfied look in the old emperor's eyes, Hu De hurriedly reported nervously: "Guan family, people from the Chunlan Palace are here to report that Concubine Hui has fallen!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "What's going on? You were still fine when you left!"

On the surface, he seemed to be very caring, but Emperor Liu was full of doubts in his heart, feeling that there was something deceitful about Concubine Hui. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence come about?
Faced with Emperor Liu's question, Hu De seemed hesitant. He glanced at him several times and opened his mouth several times, but made no sound.Seeing this, Emperor Liu immediately scolded: "Who are you doing this for? Just pretend!"

"Yes!" Hu De was startled and did not dare to hide anything anymore, saying, "It is said that the fifteenth prince had a dispute with Concubine Hui, and the concubine fell to the ground."

"So I was waiting in the palace, waiting for news!" Hearing this, Emperor Liu sneered twice, rolled his eyes twice, stretched out his hand, and ordered: "Show the Chunlan Palace, I want to see it with my own eyes. What tricks are the mother and son playing?"

On the way to Chunlan Palace, Emperor Liu got more detailed information about the "accident" when Concubine Hui fell. It was reported that Liu Yan blamed Concubine Hui for making the decision for him and refusing to seal the country, which offended Emperor Liu and led to the current predicament.

Regarding the blame for her son, Concubine Hui was very sad on the one hand, and blamed herself on the other. At the same time, she was a little aggrieved. She felt that Liu Yan did not understand her, so she could not help but argue with him.

The mother and son had a quarrel and vented their feelings, but Liu Han was no match for Concubine Hui. He tried to pull away, but Concubine Hui refused to let her go. After some entanglement, Liu Han struggled to break free, causing Concubine Hui to fall.
After hearing the detailed description, Emperor Liu's expression became a little strange. He never expected that such a bloody family ethics drama would appear in his court.

Sow the cause and get the result. Many things are often the same. However, Emperor Liu did not have much clues about this. There were not many bloody disputes in his palace, but most of them It was just ignored by him subconsciously.

The Chunlan Palace in Luoyang is deep in the palace, not very close to the Chui Gong Palace. It takes more than half a quarter of an hour to walk. When Emperor Liu arrived, the already somewhat depressing atmosphere immediately added some tension, as if it was covered by a dark cloud. Just come here.

At the entrance of the palace, Liu Yan lowered his head, bit his lip, and knelt there silently, with a solemn expression.Noticing Emperor Liu, he hurriedly kowtowed and saluted. His handsome face, which resembled that of Concubine Hui, showed deep fear. Obviously, he also knew that he was in big trouble.

Emperor Liu stopped and stared at him indifferently for a while, then turned towards the palace, raised his hand slightly, and coldly ordered: "Get up and fight!"

After saying this, Emperor Liu walked into the palace with his sleeves fluttered, leaving behind a pale-faced Liu Yan and several eunuchs who also had pale faces.A chamberlain, as if he had found a backbone, walked up to Hood and asked for instructions: "Sir, are you really going to fight?"

"You dare to disobey the Holy Order?" Hood asked angrily, and then pointed at the four servants following him: "Don't get ready yet!"

"Yes!" The chamberlain who asked the question did not move, but said with a sad face: "But how many canes are needed?"

Hearing this, Hu De also had a headache on his face. He looked up at Chunlan Palace, then looked down at Liu Yan, and then turned his head to look at the helpless chamberlain.After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea. He pulled the person over and whispered, "Strike ten sticks first, with slower movements and lighter force."

Most of these chamberlains are smart, especially when it comes to being obedient. After hearing what Hood said, they immediately nodded to express their understanding.Hu De pushed him aside and walked to Liu Shan's side. He bent down and said carefully: "Your Highness, the government has a decree, and I don't dare to ignore it. Please don't blame me. Just be patient for a little bit, and my subordinates will do it." Proper!"

After hearing this, Liu Yan raised his eyes and noticed Hood's gentle face. His nervousness calmed down a little. He did not answer the words and just nodded to him.Seeing this, Hu De did not dare to relax. He turned around and went into the palace to wait. He only silently hoped that this matter would pass quickly and that the Tian family would fight, and it would be slaves like them who would be in trouble.
In the Chunlan Palace, beside the embroidered couch, Emperor Liu had already sat down, his face restored to calmness. The imperial doctor also said that it was just a slight sprain, and it would be fine with some treatment, and there was no need to prescribe medicine.

As long as your body is fine and there are no major injuries, you can feel relieved.However, what hurt Concubine Hui more was obviously her motherly heart.Seeing her sad and gloomy look, Emperor Liu chuckled and said, "You have worked so hard for this son. How do you feel now that you have ended up like this?"

Emperor Liu thought he was just expressing emotion, but to Concubine Hui's ears, it sounded more like a sarcastic remark. His female eyes turned redder, and then tears couldn't stop falling, and he sobbed: "The official is now Are you satisfied?"

Emperor Liu was startled by this question, and then he realized it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What does this have to do with me? It's not like you usually indulge and dote on that traitorous son." Before Emperor Liu could finish speaking, Concubine Hui said Interrupting him: "Liu Yan has always been docile and modest. If it weren't for the unfair and prejudiced treatment of officials, how could he lose his manners?"

"How can you blame me?" Emperor Liu was annoyed. He stood up and glared at Concubine Hui: "I came to see you kindly, but you are so ungrateful!"

Concubine Hui retorted: "Are the officials here to see me, or are they looking at my mother and son's jokes?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liu jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, pointed at Concubine Hui, and said angrily: "You are simply unreasonable! We are both daughters of the Fu family, why don't you learn more from your sister?"

"If my sister was still alive, how would the officials think of her?" Concubine Hui was not timid at all.

In a hurry, Concubine Hui couldn't help but push up her body. This movement immediately affected her sprained waist, with a look of pain on her face.Seeing her like this, Emperor Liu even had harsh words to say and couldn't say them out for a moment. Why did he bother to argue with this woman?

His tone softened: "My hair is white and my body is injured. Why is it so violent? Take a good rest and don't move!"

Listening to Emperor Liu's dry concern, Concubine Hui really stopped fussing, but she didn't overdo it and ignored Emperor Liu.Seeing this, Emperor Liu took a few steps in front of the bed, his expression was suppressed, he hesitated a little, and said sternly: "You have gone too far today. You have repeatedly failed to behave in front of me and rushed into me! I don't care about it because I care about your sister. On the surface, you are extra tolerant, don’t push yourself too far!”

"Why, the officials want to banish me to the cold palace?" Concubine Hui seemed to be letting herself go, and said angrily: "Just like treating Liu Shan?"

"You think I don't dare?" Emperor Liu shouted angrily, spittle spitting out.

Emperor Liu had obviously broken his guard, and was about to have an attack. Suddenly, a burst of screams came from outside the palace. It was Liu Yan's scream, which sounded a bit miserable.

"What's going on? What did you do to Liu Yan?" Concubine Hui's expression changed greatly when she heard this, and she finally turned her head and stared at Emperor Liu.

Seeing this, the anger in Emperor Liu's heart was suppressed for a while. Instead, he started to hold it, turned his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Liu Yan is unfilial. Let's teach him a lesson and give him a few sticks. Isn't it right?"

"What does it have to do with him that I fell?" Concubine Hui said immediately.

"You dare to deceive the emperor in person?" Emperor Liu asked: "I have already understood what the situation is!"

Concubine Hui: "Then please ask the officials to punish me for deceiving the emperor, and don't vent your anger on Liu Xuan!"

Facing Concubine Hui's stubborn face, Emperor Liu was furious. His hand pointing at her was shaking, and he didn't know what to say.Outside the palace, Liu Yan's wailing became louder and louder. Along with his begging for mercy, he looked like he couldn't bear the beating or torture. Emperor Liu frowned and cursed: "Flowers in the greenhouse." , can’t withstand the wind and rain, can’t even withstand this little beating?”

Concubine Hui was heartbroken and cried again, roaring at Emperor Liu: "How can he withstand the imperial staff? Do you want to beat him to death?"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Liu frowned and glanced at Hu De who was standing aside. Hu De understood and did not dare to neglect, and immediately went out to "check".Soon, Hu De came back and gave a brief report on the situation. It was probably that Liu Yan almost fainted after being beaten ten times.

Listening to the situation, Concubine Hui became even more impatient and unyielding. If it weren't for her physical inconvenience, she would have almost pounced on her, as if she loved her son eagerly.

The two looked at each other. Concubine Hui was unafraid, while Emperor Liu looked a little tired, and finally walked away: "You two, mother and son, just let it go! I don't care, and don't come to see me again, I don't have time!"

On the couch, looking at Emperor Liu's lackluster back, Concubine Hui lowered her head and sobbed, not to mention how sad her voice was.Emperor Liu left decisively, but when he heard Concubine Hui's cries, his heart was not untouched.

Concubine Hui has always been like this. She has been playing with her petty temper for decades. Emperor Liu has long been used to it, but he can't understand how it could be like this.
In front of the palace, the imperial staff had stopped, and Liu Yan was lying there. Seeing Emperor Liu come out, he immediately became extremely weak. He feebly begged Emperor Liu for mercy: "I know I was wrong, and I beg your majesty to forgive me!"

Emperor Liu stared at him, not that angry, but this state was obviously more frightening.Without leaving a word, Emperor Liu left slowly. Without the aid of bamboo, his steps were even slower. At the same time, the old body became even more lonely.
