Qiao Wanyou smiled faintly: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
"What are you thanking me for?" The Empress Dowager smiled. "I did this for myself."
After saying this, his face immediately showed pain.
Eunuch Mo said anxiously, "Princess Consort, please take a look at the Queen Mother's poisoning. How can we solve it?"
Yan Funing's hand once again touched the Empress Dowager's pulse: "Actually, the amount of poison is very small. Because of the Empress Dowager's age, the reaction is so strong. As for what kind of poison it is, I can't diagnose it, but what is certain is that if it is taken for a long time, it will quickly..."
Before he continued speaking, everyone present understood.
"How long is this so-called long-term?" Eunuch Mo asked again.
"Everyone's physique is different, and the concept of treatment is also different for each person. Now that the Empress Dowager has such a severe reaction, she will probably take it for another half a month..."
"This is simply too much!" Eunuch Mo said angrily, "I must report this to the Emperor."
As he said this, he was about to go out.
The Empress Dowager stopped him and said, "Don't alert the enemy!"
Eunuch Mo came back then.
Yan Funing continued, "Your Majesty, drink plenty of water from now on. This will speed up your circulation and help flush out some of the toxins, alleviating the pain you feel. As for the murderer, I believe there will be a way to catch him. Once he's caught, getting the antidote won't be difficult."
Eunuch Mo nodded and said, "I will send someone to take care of it."
Soon, Qiao Wanyou left the Empress Dowager's palace with her son and daughter-in-law.

At this moment, Long Yi left the imperial study.
As he passed by the Imperial Garden, he unexpectedly saw through the gaps in the bushes that his daughter Long Nanyao was accompanied by a man who looked like a guard.
The man looked familiar. Long Yi squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He remembered that he was the person who had always been by Long Beimo's side.
How come he is so familiar with his daughter now?
It would be fine if they were just familiar with each other, but it seems that they have a close relationship.
He immediately went to the entrance of the Imperial Garden, stamped his feet and called out, "Nan Yao."
Upon hearing the voice, Fu Nanyao quickly turned around and saluted hastily: "Greetings, Father!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Meng Li followed suit and saluted.
Long Yi hummed, then glanced at Meng Li: "What's your family background like? Who are your family members?"
Meng Li reported truthfully, "I have no home, let alone family background. I was starving to death, and it was my aunt, brother, sister-in-law, Nan Yao, and Bei Mo who saved me."
Long Yi said calmly, "Do you know that Nan Yao is a princess now?"
"I know." Meng Li lowered his head.
Hearing the hidden meaning in his father's words, Fu Nanyao exclaimed, "Father, I don't dislike Ali, just like Ali doesn't dislike me for being married."
"Even if my daughter were to marry ten times, who would dare to say anything? Who would dare to despise her?" Long Yi's voice deepened, his cold eyes sweeping towards Meng Li again. "Remember your status and do not repay kindness with enmity."
In his opinion, it was ungrateful for a wild boy like this who had no family background to be thinking about his daughter.
Meng Li pursed his lips, bowed deeply, and said after a while, "I understand!"
"You two should talk it over." Long Yi said coldly, "Also, Nan Yao, the candidate for the marriage alliance with the neighboring country is a legitimate princess."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Just a few words plunged Fu Nanyao and Meng Li's hearts into ice water.
The scene in the imperial garden was overheard by the Sixth Princess Long Jiaying who happened to pass by.
Just as Fu Nanyao and Meng Li were silently leaving the Imperial Garden, Long Jiaying and the palace maids surrounded them.
"Congratulations, Fifth Sister! You're going to marry a foreign prince! How could such a great opportunity not fall upon me?" Long Jiaying smiled charmingly. "Father's act of breaking up the couple was truly brilliant."
She clapped her hands and laughed as she spoke.
Fu Nanyao raised her hand and slapped Long Jiaying in the face.
Long Jiaying was utterly shocked. She covered her face and yelled, "How dare you hit me?" She turned and ordered the maids, "Are they all going to die? Hit her!"
Meng Li immediately protected Fu Nanyao behind him.
Fu Nanyao stood beside him and said to Long Jiaying loudly, "I am your legitimate sister. How many legitimate sisters do you have? Is it your turn to make comments?"
Long Jiaying snorted, "You and this pretty boy will not have a good ending.
"Never mind your concern."
After saying that, Fu Nanyao took Meng Li away.
After leaving the sight of Long Jiaying and the others, Meng Li withdrew his hand.
"Nan Yao, maybe we really shouldn't be together anymore."
"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Fu Nanyao pulled Meng Li's hand again.
Long Yi was walking in front and thinking. Thinking of what his daughter had just said, that she had been married before, he almost forgot about the Dong family.
Thinking of this, he turned back to the imperial study.
He wrote a few lines in his own handwriting and gave them to Eunuch Han: "Go to the Dong family and ask if Dong Kuang's hands and feet are better now."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Han took the note with both hands and left the imperial study.
--
When Fu Nanyao and Meng Li arrived at the Queen's Palace, Qiao Wanyou and the others had just returned.
As soon as he saw his mother, Fu Nanyao threw himself into her arms and told her in detail what his father had just said, choking back tears.
Although he spoke while crying, his words were extremely clear.
Yan Funing saw something was going on: "Nan Yao is crying for Mother to hear, wanting Mother to make the decision?"
"Sister-in-law!" Fu Nanyao stomped her feet.
Thinking of something, he angrily said, "That Long Jiaying was gloating just now, and I slapped her."
Qiao Wanyou patted her daughter's back gently. "I will have a good talk with your father about your relationship with Ali. As for the marriage, if Long Jiaying wants to go, she can go."
Fu Nanyao stopped crying immediately: "Thank you, mother!"
This is being discussed over here.
On the other side, they were also talking about this matter.
Long Jiaying came to Zhao crying, "Mother, Long Nanyao hit me."
