At this time, Concubine Ling excitedly said, "Sister Yun, it turns out the prince you gave birth to is alive and well. No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Rui and Princess Rui often come to see you. It's because His Royal Highness Prince Rui is your grandson. Princess Rui is so kind and sensible. She naturally wants to be close to those her husband is close to. It's great! Now we know who his biological mother is and who his biological son is. This is really great."
As she spoke, Concubine Ling's tears began to roll down.
Concubine Yun nodded repeatedly, her eyes fixed on Long Yi. Tears gradually filled her eyes, but she couldn't utter a word.
Long Yi frowned.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing looked at their father's expression, wondering what he was thinking at the moment.
Seeing that the stalemate was not a solution, and now it was already dark, if it continued to drag on, who knew how long it would last...
Both of their eyes turned to the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager sitting behind them.
Qiao Wanyou understood and reached out to hold the Empress Dowager's arm: "Mother, may I go with you to persuade her?"
"Okay." The Queen Mother naturally placed her hand on Qiao Wanyou's.
The emperor called her "Mother Queen" because she was his biological mother, the Empress Dowager.
A stepmother is not a biological mother after all.
Normally, the Queen should have called her "Mother Queen." However, she had never called her that before, so she called her "Queen Mother," something she had long been accustomed to.
This time, Long Yi clearly found his biological mother. The empress now joins the emperor in calling her "Mother Queen". The title "Mother Queen" carries great significance.
Just for this reason, she should say a few words to help.
Respect is mutual. If they are willing to treat her well, then she will naturally be willing to treat them well.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the now pale-faced Empress Dowager and slowly walked over.
The Empress Dowager pinched her palms hard with her fingertips. She didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
Whether they admit it or not, and whether she can be saved...
It made her upset.
On the other side, the Empress Dowager had been helped to the front of Concubine Yun and Long Yi.
Hearing her mother-in-law address the Empress Dowager as "Mother Queen", Yan Funing understood and immediately called out softly, "Grandmother, please help me explain."
The mother and son had not seen each other for more than 40 years. When they suddenly met and said they were mother and son, it would be difficult for anyone to recognize each other immediately.
There really is time to react.
But my father is different, he is the emperor.
He is a role model for the people of the world, and his every move concerns the country and the people.
Among all the people present at this moment, the Empress Dowager has the highest status and is the oldest.
What she said definitely worked.
What's more, when Yun's grandmother asked for a blood test, the Empress Dowager was also present.
In this case, what she said at this moment was important, and perhaps her father and Grandma Yun would also listen to her.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.
She had long known that Yan Funing was smart and clever, no wonder Chi An could not forget her.
The queen had just changed her words, and this girl followed suit.
Sui Ci Ai smiled and said, "Emperor, your biological mother is right before your eyes. Sooner or later, you must recognize her. You may want to clarify everything before recognizing her, and what status she should be given. We can discuss these later. You can recognize her first, and later, after we have clarified everything, we will definitely give your biological mother a suitable position."
"More than forty years ago, when Concubine Yun was still Concubine Yun, she requested a blood test to determine her paternity. I was present."
"She originally just wanted to see her supposedly deceased child, but then she heard the crying and, as a mother, she thought it was because of the mother-child bond, so she requested a blood test."
"Your father and I were also at fault. If we had invited a few more imperial physicians, things might have been different."
"Now that I think about it, the imperial physician who performed the blood test back then was bribed a long time ago."
"Someone was behind this, causing you and your son to be separated for over forty years. I understand your pain."
"Your Majesty, as a mother, pregnancy for ten months is painful, and the pain of childbirth is beyond words. It was not easy for Concubine Yun to carry you, and it was not easy to give birth to you. As your biological mother, doesn't she deserve you to call her mother?"
Hearing this, Long Yi was moved.
He lifted his robe, knelt before Concubine Yun and kowtowed.
"mother!"
"My son!"
Concubine Yun's tears finally fell, and she went to support Long Yi with trembling hands.
When Long Yi stood up, he quietly wiped away his tears, then raised his hand to wipe away Concubine Yun's tears and explained, "My son was just wondering why he wasn't by his mother's side when he was born."
"In those days, all the princes born had to be sent to the prince's palace. After that incident, it was changed to raise the princes as infants in their mother's palace." said the Queen Mother.
Long Yi controlled his emotions.
Although we are now investigating what happened back then.
But as a human being, even if he was an emperor, he was afraid that his mother would not want him after giving birth to him, so he was taken advantage of by the villains.
When I heard the reason at this moment, my heart suddenly became clear.
Yan Funing smiled with tears in her eyes and looked at Fu Ciyi: "A-nai is my grandmother. A-nai is not someone without relatives, husband, don't you think so?"
Fu Ciyi nodded and called out, "Grandma."
"Good, good child." Concubine Yun's tears fell again. "Wen Yu has been close to me since childhood. Queen, when the fire broke out at the Prince of Jin's Mansion, I couldn't sleep for several nights. Back then, how could I have imagined that my own daughter-in-law and son would suffer so much?"
Qiao Wanyou couldn't help crying after hearing this: "Mother."
The Empress Dowager never liked her.
Even if her mother-in-law didn't know their relationship, she had already been concerned about her and Wen Yu.
This is the difference between being close and not being close.
Suddenly, the Empress Dowager said, "Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, Concubine Li and Concubine Yun were not due on the same day."
"What do you mean?" asked Concubine Ling.
"It's definitely not on the same day." Concubine Yun said, "Concubine Li's due date is earlier than mine, probably ten days earlier."
"Then why did you give birth on the same day that Concubine Li gave birth?" the Empress Dowager asked again.
He turned to look at the Empress Dowager who was still sitting on the chair.
The Empress Dowager sneered, "Wasn't it because Concubine Yun wanted to give birth to the child before me?"
"No, I have absolutely no such intention." said Concubine Yun.
Long Yi frowned and said coldly, "As far as I know, every pregnant concubine will have an imperial physician visit her every day to check her pulse to ensure a safe birth."
Fu Ciyi pointed at the imperial physician who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Father, since he was able to tamper with the blood test back then, he must know something." He turned to look at Gu Zhong, "This man has always been by the Empress Dowager's side, so he must know even more."
After a slight pause, he suggested in a cold voice: "Torture these two severely, and I think the answer will be not far away."
Long Yi ordered: "Come here, interrogate him on the spot."
Pang Gaozhuo agreed.
Immediately, eunuchs brought in two long benches.
Long Yi held Concubine Yun's arm, Qiao Wanyou held the Empress Dowager's arm, and the four of them sat in the main seats.
As she sat down, Concubine Yun glanced at the Empress Dowager and said, "You have such a cruel heart for stealing my child!"
The Empress Dowager argued: "Nonsense, I was also a mother who gave birth, and someone wanted to swap my child, so I was also a victim!"
