Consort Dowager Liu

In 894, when Li Keyong was sieging his adoptive son Li Cunxiao, who had rebelled against him, at Xing Prefecture (邢州, in modern Xingtai, Hebei), when Li Cunxiao offered to surrender, it was Lady Liu that Li Keyong sent into the city to make sure that Li Cunxiao was, in fact, surrendering, and it was she who brought Li Cunxiao out to surrender.

Li Keyong considered a suggestion from his adoptive son Li Cunxin to abandon Taiyuan and flee to Yun Prefecture (雲州, in modern Datong, Shanxi).

In 923, Li Cunxu, who had by that point taken all of the Later Liang territory north of the Yellow River, declared himself the emperor of Tang at Daming (大名, in modern Handan, Hebei) and thus establishing a new dynasty (commonly referred to as the Later Tang Dynasty, even though Li Cunxu claimed to be the legitimate successor to Tang), as its Emperor Zhuangzong.
