After a slight pause, Yan Funing continued, "During that period, Queen Mother was often frightened by the ghost face. It's very likely that she was poisoned at that time. The evildoer's purpose was to make the poison take effect."
"The poison that struck my mother was threefold: one that caused blindness, another that caused amnesia, and a third that caused a headache. The antidote for the headache has already been taken, and the symptoms have been resolved. Now, my mother's sight has been restored, and her memory is gradually returning."
"The timeline goes back more than ten years. These three poisons interacted with each other, ensuring that the poisoned person would lose their sight and memory to the greatest extent possible."
"The facts also prove that the evildoers' plot has succeeded."
"For so many years, the Queen Mother couldn't see or remember."
"Actually, think about it, why would someone insist that the Queen Mother lose her memory and become blind?"
Fu Beimo said: "It's because the Queen Mother saw things she shouldn't have seen and heard things she shouldn't have heard."
"Yes, the memory that Queen Mother just recalled is the key. This series of evidence is completely connected." Yan Funing looked at her father, "I ask your Majesty to thoroughly investigate what happened back then!"
Long Yi frowned: "You just said that Concubine Ling is a key figure, but isn't she crazy?"
Can you believe what a crazy woman says?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling is actually a pitiful person. She pretended to be crazy to save her life. Please don't blame her for this." Yan Funing pleaded.
Fu Ciyi also said: "Please ask for your consent, Father."
"Okay." Long Yi nodded. "Did you find anything else? Tell me."
The fact that Yan Funing was able to sort out the matter to this point clearly showed that she had been investigating it for a long time.
Wen Yu, the brat, listened calmly and nodded in agreement from time to time, which showed that both he and she understood clearly.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing looked at each other.
Fu Ciyi spoke up, "Father, I suspect you are not the Empress Dowager's son."
"What?" Long Yi slammed the table and stood up.
He was not the only one who was shocked.
Even Qiao Wanyou, Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo were shocked.
"Brother, according to what you said, if the emperor was not born to the Empress Dowager, then who was the father?" Fu Beimo asked.
Fu Nanyao also whispered, "Isn't my father of royal blood?"
Then wouldn’t they also be princes and princesses?
She has only been a princess for a short time.
Although the princess has a lot of missions on her shoulders, she actually feels quite comfortable being a princess.
Especially since her mother is the queen and her brother is so outstanding.
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "There is no doubt that my father is of royal blood. What I am saying is that my father is probably not born to the Empress Dowager."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to his father, bowing deeply. "I beg your Majesty to allow me to test my paternity by dropping blood!"
Long Yi's face darkened: "Do you know that no one is allowed to harm the dragon's body?"
"I know." Fu Ciyi maintained his bowing posture.
Qiao Wanyou pulled Long Yi and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down first. Let's talk things over."
As he said this, he supported his son's arm again.
Fu Ciyi stood up straight and said, "As long as the emperor agrees to the blood test, the truth of many things will be revealed to the world."
"You guys should explain it to me first." Long Yi was full of power.
Yan Funing stood beside Fu Ciyi and spoke softly, "When the Empress Dowager was still Concubine Li, she was pregnant. At the same time, Concubine Yun was also pregnant. Both concubines gave birth on the same day, but the prince born to one of them unfortunately died, while the other's child survived."
"I heard about this story when I grew up. It's said that my father's Concubine Yun was banished to the cold palace because her son died young, and she suspected someone else had stolen the child. When I was still a baby, just a few days old, I had my finger pricked and blood drawn to test my paternity. It was confirmed that I was your mother's child." Long Yi looked at his three sons and three daughters-in-law with dignity. "How can you think that I'm not your mother's son just because she secretly kept a lover?"
Who can accept that the mother he has called his mother for more than 40 years is not his biological mother?
"Father, please listen to me in detail," Yan Funing said. "First, blood tests can be faked. Secondly, from what Mother just recalled, the Empress Dowager once said to that man, saying that if it weren't for him, she would have been banished to the cold palace."
"More than forty years ago, Concubine Yun was banished to the cold palace, and Concubine Li became Concubine Li. This makes me suspect that the events of those years are related."
Long Yi questioned, "How many women have been banished to the cold palace? How can you link the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun together?"
"There is indeed a lack of evidence on this issue," Yan Funing said, "but Father, don't you think that many factors are connected?"
"When Queen Mother went to pay her respects, she accidentally discovered the Empress Dowager's affair. It's very possible that she was poisoned, and the poison didn't take effect in time, so the perpetrators likely set her on fire to silence her. While these are all possible speculations, the logic is sound, and it's all because the other party didn't want Queen Mother to investigate further. After all, if Queen Mother finds out what exactly led to her being banished to the cold palace, then my father's life story will also be revealed. What will become of the Empress Dowager then?"
Hearing this, Long Yi's brows knitted tighter and tighter: "What you said is only based on possibility. What I want is solid evidence."
"Of course, there's a more convenient way to go now, and that's to find the man next to the Empress Dowager," Fu Ciyi said. "As long as we find this man and torture him severely, we'll definitely be able to find out something."
"Yes, this is a good idea. It doesn't require any harm to the emperor's body." Qiao Wanyou said softly.
"How do we determine who that man is?" Long Yi asked doubtfully.
"I remember that person's voice." Qiao Wanyou grabbed Long Yi's hand. "More than ten years have passed, and a person's voice won't change much. I just remembered what I heard then, and naturally I also remember that person's voice."
"Yes!" Fu Beimo said, "Father, this method is feasible."
Fu Nanyao immediately spoke up: "Father, it's time to get to the bottom of this matter."
"Of course the truth must be revealed. You have misunderstood me as the arsonist, and this truth must be made clear."
Long Yi stood up.
If what these children said was true, then he and Wanyou were forced to be separated for more than ten years, and he would never be able to swallow this.
The truth must be known immediately!
Thinking of this, he strode out.
"Your Majesty." Qiao Wanyou called him, "Where are you going?"
Long Yi paused and said, "I'm going to my mother's palace."
"Is Your Majesty going to ask directly?" Qiao Wanyou walked quickly to his side.
"I will first go and see who are the people around her pretending to be eunuchs."
"I will go with the Emperor and listen to the sound first to identify it."
Seeing that his parents were about to leave, Fu Ciyi reminded them: "Father, the Emperor, Mother, and the Empress Dowager have many people behind them who have military power."
"Do they dare to rebel?" Long Yi's voice was low and deep. "Of course, I will send people to control everyone entering and leaving the Empress Dowager's palace."
Be as rigorous as possible.
He is not a tyrant.
"Now that things have come to this, Father, your Majesty, I and others will go together." Fu Ciyi suggested.
