"Liu Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Xi looked at the emperor, put his face to the ground, and replied loudly:
"Before the Emperor fell into a coma, he didn't issue an imperial decree granting Prince Yu full authority over court affairs. He only gave oral instructions. This made it very difficult for Prince Yu to handle his duties, especially after the disaster. Therefore, this old servant requested that Princess Yu impersonate the Emperor and write an imperial decree. She also secretly took out the Emperor's jade seal and affixed it, and then passed the decree to Prince Yu. Please, Emperor, punish me."
Liu Xi's words made Luo Lan stunned for a moment. It turned out that Eunuch Liu had always known that her imperial edict was fake, but why did he stop her from taking the blame?
Seeing this, she hurriedly bowed to explain,
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with Eunuch Liu. It was my fault. Seeing that my husband was unable to act, I secretly wrote the imperial edict and affixed the imperial seal. I then used the emperor's name to have Eunuch Liu deliver the edict. All of this is my fault. Please punish me."
"Your Majesty, Princess Yu is trying to excuse this old slave. Please understand."
"Your Majesty, it was Eunuch Liu who took the blame for this son. Please investigate..."

Liu Xi felt that the emperor must be trying to find out who had forged the imperial edict and then punish that person.
When Princess Yu delivered this false imperial edict, he had already made up his mind that when the emperor woke up, he would take the blame for Princess Yu. After all, as an old man, he was not afraid of the emperor's edict to punish him. He just didn't expect that before he could open his mouth, Princess Yu would take the initiative to speak.
No, he must understand the emperor's intentions and absolutely cannot let Princess Yu be blamed for this.
Thinking of this, he stood up and looked at the emperor, clasping his fists in confusion and said:
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean. Falsifying the imperial edict is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Why is Your Majesty rewarding you instead of punishing you?"
