Someone died in front of Fu Guang, and the bright red blood stimulated him to the greatest extent, not to mention that it was his half-brother who died.

Li Wei noticed that something was wrong with Fu Guang's expression, and after entering the room, he kept holding his hand and comforting him softly: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, those who died are bad people who are a threat to you. If the bad people die, then No one will hurt you again. My mother will do everything she can to protect you and never let you get hurt at all.”

It was only with Li Wei's gentle comfort that Fu Guang gradually came back to his senses, but his eyes were still blank. Concubine Jinggui also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is a Queen Mother in the palace and a Regent outside. Everyone will protect you, so don't be afraid."

Fu Guang leaned in Li Wei's arms, and Li Wei gently stroked Fu Guang's back, giving him great comfort.

Zhao Qian was busy cleaning up the mess, and the bodies of Fu Shou and his men were carried away. The Wen and Gu families, seeing the King of Shu defeated, surrendered without putting up any resistance.

However, following the vassal king to rebel, such a serious crime of rebellion would implicate the nine clans, but Zhao Qian showed mercy to the two families: "You will be punished for participating in the rebellion, but the Queen Mother is lenient and the Emperor is young and cannot bear to cause further killings. The king took back the iron certificates of the two families, deprived them of their titles, dismissed all their positions, disbanded the family soldiers, and was no longer allowed to have private armies."

Although such a move seemed lenient, it was a fatal blow to the two aristocratic families. Although the nine clans were spared the suffering and their families saved their lives, they would never have any chance of being in the officialdom.

After cleaning up all this, Zhao Qian went to Li Wei to return to his life.

When he told Li Wei what to do, Li Wei nodded and said, "Your Majesty is kind, so this is fine."

When Princess Jing heard this, she said, "The Queen Mother and the Regent really intend to let the Wen and Gu families go?"

Li Wei hugged Fu Guang tightly and said: "The emperor is young, so we should treat him as a blessing for the emperor. This kind of treatment is enough."

Zhao Qian knew that the Queen Mother's thoughts were the same as his, and now it seems that she is not bad. I just hope that this storm is really over, that there will be no more bloodshed and palace seizures from now on, and that the people he protects will be safe and sound.

The outside of Hanyuan Hall has been cleaned up, and the entire palace has returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Li Wei returned to Chongqing Palace. Although it was a bit messy, the dark clouds finally dispersed. Chongqing Palace did not know what happened in Hanyuan Palace. Concubine Qi acted like a queen mother and was sending the eunuchs and maids in Chongqing Palace to do this and that.

When Li Wei and Princess Jinggui came in from outside, she and Princess Shu fell to the ground. Their faces turned white due to fear, and they screamed as if they had seen a ghost: "Ah! Ghost, there is a ghost!"

Princess Shu was also scared, but she was much more awake than her mother-in-law, so she hurriedly asked people to find some blood to pour on her.

The noble concubine scolded: "Nonsense! Don't you even have the etiquette and rules you should have when meeting the Queen Mother?"

"Sister Imperial Concubine, what's going on? Who is this woman next to you?"

Concubine Jing ignored Concubine Qi and invited Li Wei to take the seat.

Those in the Chongqing Palace who didn't know the truth saw the Queen Mother sitting there as usual, looking like a poisoned person, and they didn't understand what was true and what was false.

After Li Wei sat down, the noble concubine even handed Li Wei tea with her own hands and said: "The queen mother took a sip of tea to calm down the shock."

As expected, Li Wei took a sip, and the noble concubine said again: "Queen Mother, what are you going to do with this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

Concubine Qi only gave birth to one son of King Shu. Now that King Shu is dead, they have truly fallen. Princess Shu has not left a son or a daughter. No, Princess Shu has no children, which does not mean that King Wu of Shu, Long before the Princess of Shu married the King of Shu, the King of Shu took over the people who served in the room. He already had the eldest son, and now the eldest son must be two years old.

Execution of all members of the King of Shu? This is the only and right decision. In the past, Li Wei had a soft temper and never ordered anyone to be executed or take anyone's life. Living there for more than ten years has made her more cheerful and strong, and she has also learned to be tolerant, but there are also people who have committed the most heinous crimes there. death penalty. Concubine Qi and her son also committed a capital crime. It is not possible to turn the page with a simple forgiveness. Last time, she did die due to the calculation of their mother and son. Concubine Qi and her son were her real enemies.

Li Wei looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the ground, and she said calmly: "First drag them down and hand them over to the Shenxing Department and the Dali eunuchs. Their handling is governed by the "Daqi Laws", so just deal with them according to the law."

Li Wei gave an order, and the guards from outside came in and took away Concubine Qi and Princess Shu.

Concubine Dun took Shujia and walked out from behind. Concubine Dun was surprised and happy to see that Li Wei was still alive and well. Shujia had already ran to Li Wei and called out "Mother" softly.

Li Wei then told everyone: "I have long noticed that the King of Shu is acting strangely, and finally found out his true intention. I had no choice but to set up today's situation and force them to jump in, which shocked everyone. I will give Let’s all apologize.”

Everyone said they didn't dare to accept Li Wei's gift, and no one dared to accept Li Wei's gift, so they all knelt down.

Concubine Jinggui said: "The Queen Mother has softened her heart after all. Concubine Qi and others are a capital crime. If you kill her, you can kill her. Who dares to say otherwise? In the end, she is still allowed to stay."

Li Wei said: "I handed over their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the Shenxing Division. Does the noble concubine think there is a chance for them to come out alive? I won't kill them, but "Da Qi Lu" can kill them."

After struggling for so long, it’s already the second watch in the blink of an eye. After seeing that Li Wei was safe and sound, Princess Jinggui went back to the palace. Everyone left, but Princess Dun remained in front of Li Wei.

"Queen Mother, I thought the Queen Mother was really dead, but I was scared to death. Fortunately, you are fine. But how did you manage to not breathe? I have confirmed that you are truly dead. Why? Come back to life again?"

Li smiled slightly and said: "Well, I used some skills and asked experts to help me. I didn't expect that even you were deceived."

Concubine Dun was timid, and she was greatly frightened by the incident of seizing the palace, but luckily no bigger troubles were caused, and the bad guys were punished accordingly.

Everyone left, only Shujia stayed by her side, and Li Wei comforted her daughter. This hurdle finally passed, Lu Caizhi brought some medicinal food to Li Wei and asked her to take it.

Li Wei greatly appreciated her: "Good girl, your medical skills are so good that you even fooled your grandfather. If you did this for me, I will definitely reward you greatly. By the way, what is your wish?" Well, just tell me and I’ll find a way to make it happen for you.”

Lu Caizhi is still scared when she thinks back to this. She is afraid that a mistake will really cost the Queen Mother her life, and the Queen Mother is too courageous.

She replied tremblingly: "People's daughters have few wishes and dare not ask for rewards."
