These words left everyone silent.
Concubine Ling looked at Yan Funing and said, "I really envy you for meeting the person you love in your prime years."
She is old.
The person who liked her is no longer there.
Everything is hopeless.
But the girl in front of him was different. Every time she came to the cold palace, she was accompanied by her husband.
Eunuch Song said, "Concubine Ling, you may not know that it is not easy for the Third Prince to be with the Crown Princess."
Then he talked about the hardships that Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing had experienced.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Ling sighed, "I never thought he would do something like breaking up a couple."
"Let's not talk about the past," Yan Funing said gently, "Uncle Emperor has apologized to us more than once. He's a very good man. His actions back then must have been motivated by the proper principles of an emperor."
Concubine Ling nodded: "You are indeed a good child."
Yan Funing took the opportunity to ask, "Grand Concubine Tai, we came here today to ask you something. Do you know the whereabouts of the poison and antidote you had back then?"
Concubine Ling shook her head and said, "After being imprisoned in the cold palace, the palace where I once lived was ransacked and nothing was left."
"Then among the poisons you prepared, was there any that could cause blindness and amnesia?" Yan Funing asked again.
Concubine Ling nodded: "There are some that cause amnesia, but none that cause blindness."
"Is that so?" Yan Funing glanced at Fu Ciyi and asked Concubine Ling, "Is there an antidote?"
"There were matching antidotes at the beginning, but now we don't know where the poison and the antidote are." Concubine Ling said frankly.
"Can the Concubine Tai be able to detoxify me?" Yan Funing expressed her hope.
But Concubine Ling shook her head and said, "Everyone says I'm good at poisoning people. I'm just clever and quick, and I can poison people without them noticing. I'm not really good at poisoning people, and I don't know how to detoxify them."
The room fell silent.
Concubine Yun explained: "The Queen has lost her memory and is blind. These two children are looking for an antidote and clues."
"I understand. If there is any need for me in the future, I will definitely stand up." Concubine Ling expressed her opinion.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Funing expressed her gratitude.
After a few more words, Fu Ciyi said goodbye.
Concubine Ling said, "I ask Your Highness, the Crown Princess, and Eunuch Song not to tell anyone else about my pretense of madness."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we won't." Fu Ciyi said softly.
After bidding farewell to the two imperial concubines, Fu Ciyi took Yan Funing and Eunuch Song out of the cold palace.
Walking in the corridor, Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing both frowned.
Both husband and wife were wondering where the poison and antidote had gone.
If there is a poison that causes blindness, then it means that the bad guy may have poisoned the mother with this poison.
Eunuch Song was recalling the feeling of jumping out of the high wall again.
He glanced at the wall again and again.
Realizing that his two masters were concerned about the Empress's eyesight and amnesia, he couldn't help but advise, "Your Highness, Princess Consort, the Empress's eyesight can definitely be cured. As for the amnesia, if we track down the person who raided Concubine Ling's bedroom, perhaps we can find a clue."
Fu Ciyi said, "I know, I'm just afraid that the bad guys have already made preparations."
If the bad guys wanted to take the antidote for themselves, they would have been prepared.
However, we have to check it out.
The three of them left the cold palace and were seen by Eunuch Han when they were walking in the front palace.
"Third Prince, Third Prince's Consort," Eunuch Han greeted warmly. "The Emperor is currently in the Empress's palace. Are you two here to visit the Empress?"
Fu Ciyi said, "I was just taking a walk. I'm going to look for my mother now."
Eunuch Han raised his hand to invite and lead the way.
As soon as Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing arrived at their mother's palace, they heard Long Yizheng saying to their mother, "I plan to formally confer titles on the four concubines and the five princes on the Lantern Festival."
Qiao Wanyou nodded: "It should be."
Eunuch Han took a few quick steps and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Third Prince and the Third Prince's Consort are here."
After saying that, he stood sideways.
"Why are you here today?" Long Yi said calmly.
It's just the wrong time to come and will only disturb them.
Fu Ciyi said, "I came here to talk to my father and mother about my return to Ling County, Jinzhou."
Long Yi said, "Okay."
Fu Ciyi took the opportunity to ask, "Will your Majesty return with me?"
Qiao Wanyou was stunned.
Before she could speak, Long Yi said, "Your mother is the Queen. How could she easily leave the palace, let alone go to such a faraway place?"
"Ling County in Jinzhou is where my son and I have lived for many years. It's not impossible for us to go back for a visit now." Fu Ciyi said calmly.
"That being said, she has eyesight problems, so she shouldn't go." Long Yi concluded.
Fu Ciyi looked at his mother.
Knowing that his mother couldn't see their expressions clearly, he had to shift his gaze to Yan Funing.
Yan Funing understood and went over to hold her mother-in-law's arm: "Mother?"
Qiao Wanyou said, "I'd better stay in the palace."
She knew that the young couple was worried about her, and she had a lot to say in her heart, but Long Yi was here at the moment, so it was not convenient to say it in front of him.
Long Yi said: "Listen, your mother is willing to stay in the palace."
No one can separate them.
How could these two little bastards separate their parents?
After having lunch in the Queen's Palace, Long Yi returned to the Imperial Study to handle official business before leaving.
His departure gave Qiao Wanyou the opportunity to have a private conversation with her son and daughter-in-law.
"Go back to Ling County, just go back." She lowered her voice, "I must stay in the palace. If I leave and he appoints another queen, I will regret it too late."
Fu Ciyi naturally knew that his mother's purpose in ascending the throne was to protect them, but the issue of safety...
"Mom, the person who harmed you is in the palace. I'm really worried about you if we leave."
Qiao Wanyou said, "You have secretly sent people to protect me. Besides, we now know that the person who poisoned me back then could not have been Long Yi. As long as it wasn't him, I will be able to protect myself."
Yan Funing asked, "Mother, are you really not going back to Ling County with us?"
"You guys go back." Qiao Wanyou said with a smile, "If I go back, there will be a big fight. What's the point?"
Even though she has forgotten who she used to be, she now knows how to use means to exercise her power and knows what she should do to protect the people she loves.
Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi and said, "Husband, how about we postpone our return to Ling County?"
"I can't postpone it. My grandfather's death anniversary is coming soon. I want to ask Fu Zhengqing and the others for an explanation before that day."
Yan Funing finally understood: "So that's how it is."
Qiao Wanyou held Yan Funing's hand and said softly, "Ci Yi is a filial child. Let him do something for his grandparents. This is what he should do."
"Yeah." Yan Funing nodded.
As the three were talking, Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo arrived.
When they heard that their brother and sister-in-law were going back to Ling County, the brother and sister insisted on going back too.
Fu Ciyi refused: "You stay in the palace. If you go too, only mother will be left behind. Will you be at ease?"
When asked by their brother, both the siblings choked.
The mother really couldn't be left alone.
