Gu Zhong glanced at the Empress Dowager, then at Lu Tongfu resentfully: "Imperial Physician Lu was bribed by Concubine Li, so he tampered with the blood test. At the time, the test was between Concubine Li and the young prince, who were clearly not biological mother and son, yet he tampered with them to make them so."
Yan Funing spoke up, "I have a question. When Grandma Yun 'lost' her child, the Emperor's grandfather should have been the one to care for her and comfort her. Even if she suspected the baby had been swapped, shouldn't the Emperor's grandfather have been considerate of a woman who had just given birth? Why did he so ruthlessly banish her to the cold palace?"
Concubine Yun smiled bitterly: "He doesn't have eyes for me. I irritated him, so he just banished me to the cold palace. This way, out of sight, out of mind."
The Empress Dowager also expressed her own opinion: "Back then, in the Emperor's view, Concubine Yun's groundless suspicion that someone else had snatched his child away did indeed irritate him. He is the Emperor, and his words are final; no one dares to disobey. Concubine Yun's sharp words at the time probably displeased him, which was probably one reason. Another reason is that I suspect he really does like Concubine Li more."
I have to say that the Empress Dowager was indeed a character when she was young.
She is charming, which is the look the old emperor likes.
Concubine Ling snorted and laughed, "Sister Yun, if you want to blame it, it's just that you have a beautiful appearance, not like a certain woman..." She pointed out the woman directly, "Plus, the Empress Dowager is quite knowledgeable about the affairs of men and women. Seeing that she is old and still wants multiple men to serve her, you know that Sister Yun couldn't compete with her back then."
Just then, the people sent by Pang Gaozhuo returned from the Lu family.
The man handed the booklet to Pang Gaozhuo: "General, the booklet has been brought."
Pang Gaozhuo didn't dare to read it at all. He dragged his hands and presented it to Long Yi first: "Your Majesty, this is the booklet I got from the Lu family."
Long Yi waved his hand. He was not in the mood to look at such things.
This booklet is really a hot potato.
The record book of the love affairs of the emperor and empress dowager of a country was very hot when held in the hand.
Pang Gaozhuo had no choice but to present the booklet to the Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty, would you like to review it?"
"Then I'll take a look."
The Empress Dowager took the booklet and opened it.
As the queen, she naturally knew who slept with the old emperor every day.
Now it’s okay for her to come and look at the record of Ling Li and Lu Tongfu’s relationship.
He opened it, glanced at it for a moment, then closed it immediately, slammed it on the table, and said repeatedly, "Oh my, oh my, my old face is red."
Seeing this, Concubine Ling took the booklet out of curiosity and opened it to read.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Doctor Lu is really good at it."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Empress Dowager has so many demands."
"Oh hey, you guys really know how to have fun."
"Look, it's written here. It says that Concubine Li once said that the old emperor was no longer able to have children after he made her and Concubine Yun pregnant. This made her feel empty and lonely, and she longed for a man every night. And this man was Doctor Lu."
Concubine Ling looked at it and shook her head.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yun laughed: "I thought she was looking for two men in order to have another son of her own. After all, she was unwilling to raise my son. I didn't expect that she was looking for men because she was lonely."
Lu Tongfu suddenly said, "Everything recorded in this booklet is what I, a guilty minister, saw, heard, and did. To protect myself, I had no choice but to submit to the Empress Dowager."
As he spoke, he got off the bench and kowtowed on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
He kowtowed and continued, "This old minister was forced by the Empress Dowager. She also forced me to say a lot of sweet words."
The Empress Dowager's face turned ashen.
The evidence was brought out, and with the coward Galutongfu as a witness, she had no way to refute it.
Concubine Ling read through the book quickly, but there were so many sex stories recorded that she got tired of flipping through them, so she simply turned to the last few pages...
He laughed out loud quickly, "As expected, I guessed right. He's already old, and the most recent one was seven days ago."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
You have to know that the Empress Dowager and Doctor Lu are both in their sixties.
Gu Zhong sneered sadly, "Seven days ago?"
Seven days ago, she did ask him to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician, saying that he was not feeling well and asked Doctor Lu to check his pulse.
So this is how you “take the pulse”.
At that time, when Doctor Lu was serving her, he was sent away.
Does she dislike that he is old and ugly and is no longer useful?
Suddenly I didn't want to live anymore.
If he can't live, then she can't expect to have an easy life either.
Thinking of this, he said, "When the Empress Dowager was poisoned, it was the Empress Dowager who ordered this old servant to poison her. The poison was picked out from the poisons previously owned by Concubine Ling. It is colorless and odorless, and even the most skilled imperial physicians could not diagnose it."
"At that time, the Empress Dowager was panicked for a while."
She also snuggled in his arms and said that she was grateful for his company over the years.
Only with companionship...
Haha, he helped her do a lot of things.
Until now, he had heard disgusting words.
The Queen Mother sneered: "Who else could it be besides her?"
Gu Zhong continued, "There was actually a reason why Concubine Yun was banished to the cold palace. It wasn't just because she was disobedient, but also because Concubine Li had whispered something in the Emperor's ear beforehand. She said Concubine Yun was telling everyone that she had trouble giving birth and that the Emperor had fed her a lot of fattening food. She also said that the little prince's condition was due to her overeating."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager said, "I understand. The Emperor believed that Concubine Yun suspected him of being the cause of the young prince's death, and so in a fit of rage, he banished Concubine Yun to the cold palace."
"That must be the case." Qiao Wanyou also said.
Concubine Yun glared at the Empress Dowager: "Evil woman!"
The Empress Dowager scolded him, "Gu Zhong, you are a dog beside me. Do you know that if I am gone, you will also die?"
Everything he said was said with gritted teeth.
Gu Zhong smiled. "For your sake, I never married. I entered the palace disguised as a eunuch to serve you. I've been with you for decades, day in and day out, but I haven't received an ounce of your love. I'm just your dog's plaything. This is how my life will be. Since you don't treat me as a human being, then don't expect to have an easy life either."
The Empress Dowager panicked: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not have any affection for you?"
"It's too late. Even if you give me half a point now, it's still too late." Gu Zhong sneered.
The Empress Dowager knew that all her affairs depended on Gu Zhong. If he continued to tell her everything, she would have no way out. She immediately said, "Lu Tongfu is my dog toy, not you. You are the one I have loved since I was young."
"Also, also, the reason why Lu Tongfu can still serve me now is because he is the imperial physician and he has medicine." She added hurriedly.
Lu Tongfu took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, please listen. I am innocent. For her, I have taken a lot of medicine at my old age, just to satisfy her. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
When Long Yi heard this, his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Gu Zhong laughed, "The Empress Dowager said she loved someone like Imperial Physician Lu the most?" His gaze shifted to Concubine Yun. "You shouldn't have been banished to the cold palace back then. It was her fault. The food she requested wasn't just to make childbirth difficult for you; she had other plans."
