The throne must not fall into Long Wenyu's hands.
In this world, only Long Lihui is qualified to become the next emperor!
The man said, "I'll go and tell her right away, don't worry, Your Majesty!"
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Go ahead."
--
Fu Ciyi took Yan Funing into the cold palace quietly.
As soon as they entered the cold palace, they found Concubine Yun.
Today, Concubine Yun's mood had stabilized considerably. Seeing them approach, she was in the mood to joke, "You've come here both yesterday and today, yet both times you came empty-handed. Why didn't you bring something to eat for an old woman like me?"
Hearing this, Yan Funing chuckled: "Grandma Yun, it's our fault. We really forgot to bring food."
Concubine Yun smiled indulgently: "I'm very happy that you can come. I'm not the kind of person who waits eagerly for you to bring me snacks."
"Got it. My husband and I will bring more snacks next time." Yan Funing affectionately took Concubine Yun's arm, "Grandma Yun, we want to go see Concubine Ling."
Concubine Yun asked seriously, "Is there something wrong?"
"There is indeed something." Fu Ciyi said.
Seeing his solemn expression, Concubine Yun walked out: "Follow me."
The young couple followed Concubine Yun to Concubine Ling's residence.
When they arrived, Concubine Ling was standing at the window, grinning foolishly.
Seeing this, Concubine Yun pretended to scold him: "What are you laughing at? Come back and sit down properly after all your crazy behavior!"
Quite severe.
Concubine Ling laughed even more crazily, and finally sat down on the chair near the inside.
Ah Xiu quickly closed the window.
"What do you want from me?" Concubine Ling poured a glass of water to moisten her throat which was sore from laughing just now.
"Your Majesty, you wore that green-faced, fang-toothed mask before. What did you want to tell me then?" Yan Funing asked directly.
Unexpectedly, Ling Taipin shook her head and said, "I really didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to scare you. You're so pretty, I just wanted to tease you."
"Naughty." Concubine Yun pointed at her and turned to tell the young couple to sit down.
"How did you get this green-faced, fang-toothed mask? Can you bring it in if you go to the cold palace?" Yan Funing couldn't help but wonder.
Concubine Ling frowned. "The origin of this mask is indeed strange. I found it by chance in my residence, and I didn't bring it into the cold palace. Besides, such a thing would be useless if I brought it into the cold palace."
"So the mask was picked up in the cold palace?" Fu Ciyi asked again.
Concubine Ling nodded and said, "That day I pretended to be stupid and danced in the courtyard. When I returned to my room, I found this mask next to the cabinet in my room."
As he said that, he stood up and took out the mask from the inner room.
"When did it happen?" Yan Funing asked softly.
"I can't remember the details. Every day in the cold palace was the same. I can't remember exactly what day it was today. But I still remember it roughly. It must have been more than ten years ago."
Concubine Ling told them the truth and handed them the mask with a green face and fangs.
Fu Ciyi reached out to take the mask and looked at it carefully.
Yan Funing was afraid of such a horrible thing, but she still mustered up the courage to take a look.
The couple looked everywhere inside and out, but could not find any special traces or marks.
"It's been over ten years, probably around the same time as my mother was poisoned." Yan Funing frowned. "Is it possible that the person wearing this mask came to the cold palace to look for the poison near Concubine Ling? But something unexpected happened and they had to flee to avoid being discovered, and the mask just happened to fall off at that moment."
Concubine Ling nodded. "It's very possible. Most people in the palace think I'm good with poisons. They think that even if I'm in the cold palace, I'll have plenty of poisons around me that can harm people. In fact, it's not the case. But they don't believe it, and there are indeed people who come looking for poisons."
Fu Ciyi clenched his fists and said, "The man wearing this mask came to the cold palace looking for poison. It was probably this man who poisoned my mother."
"What do you mean?" asked Concubine Yun.
Fu Ciyi's voice was cold: "Father told us that Mother often saw ghost faces that scared her."
Concubine Ling frowned. "That's very likely the case. I often see instructions for multiple doses of poison. The amnesia-inducing drug I used in the palace required multiple doses of poison, and combined with intimidation, it was more effective."
"Things are gradually connecting." Yan Funing pinched Fu Ciyi's fingers, "Husband, if you put all of this together, the truth will be revealed."
Fu Ciyi nodded and looked at Concubine Ling: "Could you lend us this mask?"
Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Of course you can. This thing is not worth much."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but remind her, "I have to warn you, if this thing is seen by others, if the bad guys behind the scenes know about it, then they will know that you are in contact with me. Moreover, they will also know that you are investigating the Queen's poisoning that year."
Concubine Yun also warned: "Before the truth is revealed to the world, it would be best if this mask is not seen or known by too many people."
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Fu Ciyi said calmly.
In order to prevent others from seeing the mask while carrying it along the way, Concubine Ling took out a cloth bag, put the mask in it, and then gave it to Fu Ciyi.
The young couple bid farewell to the two imperial concubines and left the cold palace.
After leaving the cold palace, both of them were silent.
After a long while, Fu Ciyi asked, "Ningning, when do you think it's best to start the stimulation therapy?"
Yan Funing expressed her concerns, "I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid that after the Queen Mother is traumatized, her memory won't return, and she'll be terrified."
Then she would be a sinner.
"If we talk about stimulation, showing her the mask during the day will greatly reduce the effect."
"Husband, do you want to scare me at night?" Yan Funing held her panicked chest, "That would really scare me to death."
"But according to your method, this is the most effective way, isn't it?" Fu Ciyi asked back.
"Yes, if the Queen Mother was indeed poisoned by the person wearing this mask, then this kind of associative stimulation would be the most effective. However, it's not 100% guaranteed to be effective. It can only be said that compared to other treatments, it is the most effective."
"I believe that my mother will understand us afterwards." Fu Ciyi said.
Yan Funing held his hand tightly: "My dear husband, I think it would be best if there is someone to comfort the Queen Mother when the time comes."
The question is who will comfort the queen mother at night.
They are in the palace.
Bei Mo and Nan Yao are in the palace, so they can show up in time to comfort her at night, but I'm afraid their comfort will be useless.
Fu Ciyi: "Since Father said that Mother would tell him when she was threatened, why not let him protect her?"
Yan Funing: "But you also have to understand that Mother doesn't want Father to know that she can see now. After all, it takes the ability to see ghost faces to scare people. If that happens, the fact that Mother has regained her sight will be untold."
Fu Ciyi: "It doesn't matter if I can't hide it. Of course, I have to let my mother tell my father about the restoration of my eyesight first."
"My husband, what you said surprises me. Since you can say that, are you beginning to believe that the fire incident that year had nothing to do with the emperor?"
Long Yi is already the emperor, and it is easy for him to kill anyone he wants.
If he wanted to kill his mother and Fu Ciyi, he would have done it long ago. Why did he make his mother the queen?
