Chapter 1034 Don’t Expose It Fu Ciyi said frankly: "Although I don't want to admit it yet, we have been away from Beijing for a long time, and my mother is protected by him, I think..." Yan Funing understood before he finished speaking. "I know that only when the truth comes out can the gap between you and him truly disappear." After all, what he saw with his own eyes when he was young, coupled with the ideas he has always held, are not things that can be easily changed overnight. Once what happened back then becomes clear, perhaps the knot between the father and son can be untied. Fu Ciyi tightly grasped the cloth bag containing the mask, and with his other hand he pulled Yan Funing towards the exit of the corridor. Yan Funing said softly, "Perhaps we should have someone wear a mask and appear in front of the Queen Mother at night. We will all be there at that time. As long as the Queen Mother calls, we can all appear beside her in time." After all, there is a gap between the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Compared to their father, the emperor, they are the ones most trusted by their mother. Fu Ciyi nodded: "Let's go find our mother first."
The couple arrived at the Queen's palace. At this moment, Qiao Wanyou was sitting by the window, looking at the bonsai pots in the yard with empty eyes. Her vision focused when she heard familiar footsteps. "Mother." Yan Funing broke free from Fu Ciyi's hand and took a few quick steps. "My husband and I have something to discuss with you." Seeing her daughter-in-law's serious look, Qiao Wanyou ordered Nanny Li to take all the palace maids away. There were only three of them left in the house. "Sit down." Qiao Wanyou asked softly, "You all look so serious, is there something important going on?" The couple sat down. Fu Ciyi sat on a chair a little further away, while Yan Funing sat next to her mother-in-law. "Mother, Ningning and I guessed that the person who poisoned the place was the Empress Dowager..." Qiao Wanyou immediately interrupted her son and lowered her voice: "Do you have any evidence? It's not easy to overthrow the queen mother of a country. If you make a mistake, you will end up as an unfilial descendant." Once such a reputation exists, becoming a crown prince will be harder than ascending to heaven. "Son knows." Fu Ciyi said softly, "Currently all clues point to her, but we still lack key evidence. Mother, your eyes and memory must have been taken away by poison for a very deep reason." "My husband means that the most crucial witness is my mother," Yan Funing said. Qiao Wanyou saw the anxiety in her son and daughter-in-law's eyes, and knew that they were worried about this matter, so she asked directly: "Tell me, what are you going to do for your mother?" "Mother can see now. Can you tell father about this?" Yan Funing said softly. "Whether to say it or not, what's the point?" Qiao Wanyou was puzzled. I wonder what connection this has with finding out what happened back then? "I want to see father's reaction." Fu Ciyi said. Yan Funing added: "My husband has always suspected that it was the emperor who set the fire, and he also suspected that the poison in mother's body was related to him. But if the emperor really wants to kill you, it will be easier for him to do it again now that he is the emperor, so we think..."
Hearing this, Qiao Wanyou thought they just wanted to test Long Yi, and sighed: "What Fu Ning said is correct, but I understand that Ci Yi can't get over this hurdle in his heart. You guys go and talk to him, it's okay for me." "Thank you, mother!" The couple got up and left, going to the imperial study again. Regarding their coming again, Long Yi said calmly: "Can you think of any solution?" Fu Ciyi directly placed the cloth bag containing the green-faced, fang-toothed mask on the imperial desk. Long Yi opened the bag puzzledly and took out the mask: "What do you mean?" "I don't know if this mask is the one that scared Mother back then, but masks like these are mostly similar in nature. We hope that someone can put it on and go to Mother, so that Father can comfort her in time." Fu Ciyi stated his purpose directly. Long Yi narrowed his eyes: "Do you know what you are talking about? Your mother's eyes..." "Mother's eyesight has recovered in recent days." Fu Ciyi said calmly. "So you already knew it." Long Yi sneered. Hearing this, Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi looked at each other. "From what my father said, you already knew about this?" Yan Funing couldn't help asking. Long Yi chuckled softly, "I observe her eyes every day, and her expression cannot escape my eyes." The eyes become brighter day by day. Sometimes she was so flustered that she didn't have time to look away, and he captured everything. It's just that she didn't want to say it, so he didn't expose it. Yan Funing added: "But father just said that mother's eyesight and amnesia are your concerns." "She didn't want to tell me that she had recovered her sight, so I naturally pretended not to know. Naturally, this also made me worried." Wanyou's unwillingness to be honest with him was a source of worry for him. Always waiting for the time when she was willing to talk to him. I didn't expect that the young couple would speak first. After a slight pause, he continued, "So your plan is to use this mask to stimulate the mind?" "Yes." Yan Funing nodded, "I hope father can cooperate with us." Long Yi slowly put down the mask and did not agree. Fu Ciyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Father, don't you want the Queen Mother to recover her memory as soon as possible?" "To be honest, before you left, she and I had many quarrels, and it was very unpleasant. I was afraid that she would remember it, but I was also afraid that she would not remember it..." Putting this aside, they were quite loving in the past. I’m afraid that those years of quarrels will affect their lives now. Yan Funing advised softly: "Father, as long as a couple is quarrelsome, they will quarrel. My parents quarrel from time to time. What's more, the unpleasantness is in the past. It would be great if Mother could recall her younger self!"
"You are right." Long Yi smiled gently, "I approve of your plan." Fu Ciyi bowed and said, "Thank you, Father." Long Yi warned: "Your mother doesn't want others to know that she has recovered her sight. She must have her own considerations. From now on, you don't have to tell others about this without her permission." "I understand, son." The couple agreed. Soon, the three of them had an agreement and the plan was implemented that night. It was still early at this time, and Yan Funing was thinking about preparing food for Grandma Yun, so she suggested to Fu Ciyi to go back to the palace. The couple returned to the palace, prepared a lot of food after dinner, and personally delivered it to the cold palace to give to Concubine Yun and Concubine Ling. In the afternoon, the two of them walked to the Queen's Palace. Seeing them coming again, Qiao Wanyou couldn't help but ask, "Can we talk?" "I told you that Father is not surprised." Yan Funing smiled, "He said that he often observes your eyes and discovered it a long time ago." "This fox." Qiao Wanyou cursed. Yan Funing took her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Mother, my husband and I would like to stay at your place for dinner." "You didn't come to eat at noon, why did you take the initiative to stay for dinner?" Qiao Wanyou scolded. "There will be something else happening at noon." Fu Ciyi said calmly. "As long as you are willing to stay for dinner, I will be very happy." As Qiao Wanyou spoke, she ordered the palace maid to invite Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo to have dinner with her. Time flies. Dinner time. Qiao Wanyou had just sat down with her children, daughter and daughter-in-law when Long Yi arrived. Thanks to Baozi for the monthly ticket: Donna!
