Chapter 1043 Big Scandal Qiao Wanyou shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet." "Mother, have you seen the man's face clearly? Who is he?" Fu Beimo also asked. "The angle I looked at happened to be blocked by the bed curtain, so I could only see the lower half of his face and a little bit of his jaw." Qiao Wanyou sighed, "I hope I can remember what they said as soon as possible." "Take your time. There's no rush." ​​Long Yi said gently. He turned his head and said to his children in a deep voice, "Have dinner." Everyone took chopsticks. After lunch, Qiao Wanyou yawned. Seeing this, Long Yi gently advised her: "Take a break." Qiao Wanyou was indeed very sleepy, so she agreed and was helped back to her room by the palace maid. Long Yi said to his children, "You can go back too." "There's no rush to go back." Fu Ciyi said.

"Yes, father, let's wait a little longer. When mother wakes up, I can check her pulse if necessary." Yan Funing also said. Seeing her filial piety, Long Yi nodded and said, "Then you can just walk around the palace. I will go to accompany your mother." After saying that, he turned around and went to the bedroom. Fu Ciyi and the other three walked out of the Queen Mother's bedroom. Fu Nanyao suggested: "Come sit at my place, we'll come back later." "Okay." Fu Ciyi agreed. An hour later, Nanny Li arrived at Fu Nanyao's palace. "Your Highness, Princess, Princess." Nanny Li walked in a hurry, out of breath, "The Queen has woken up, and the first thing she said when she woke up was that she remembered." "I remember!" Fu Nanyao stood up excitedly. Yan Funing lowered her voice and said, "Be steady. There are many people in the palace. We don't know who is whose spy." "Yes, sister-in-law is right." The few of them suppressed their excitement and walked slowly towards the Queen's Palace. When they arrived, Long Yi had already ordered all the palace people to leave, leaving only the couple sitting in the main seats. Nanny Li bowed and left, going outside to guard. Qiao Wanyou looked at her children and daughters-in-law and said, "Children, I remember now. Someone probably wanted to kill me to silence me." She clenched her fist. She moved her gaze towards Long Yi's face and said, "Your Majesty, I hope that after listening to this, you will not think of killing us." "After all this, why don't you believe me?" "The matter is complicated. The Empress Dowager is your biological mother. I don't know what you will do to protect your mother."

Long Yi raised his hand: "I swear, no matter what you saw or heard back then, no matter what you say now, I will not take your lives for it!" Thinking back to what happened back then, Qiao Wanyou's palms began to sweat: "So what did I say?" Fu Ciyi and others nodded to her. "Say it." Long Yi's voice was as gentle as possible. "The morning I saw a man in the Empress Dowager's room was half a month after the fire." Qiao Wanyou began to recall, "The Empress Dowager was still the Concubine Dowager at that time. The Concubine Dowager required me to strictly observe the morning and evening visits every day." "As a daughter-in-law, I had to do so." "I had done a good job, but she was still not happy with me as her daughter-in-law. I was also angry at the time, and I woke up very early that morning because of nausea." "Since I woke up so early, I'll go and pay my respects to my mother-in-law, so she can also experience the feeling of being woken up so early." "As an aside, now that I think about it, the reason I felt sick that day was because of Nan Yao Bei Mo in my stomach." "To continue what I just said, it was still dawn when I arrived at my mother-in-law's residence. The strange thing was that the courtyard was very quiet. I had arrived early before, but it was never as quiet as that day." "So I became more cautious and walked lightly." "Suddenly, the sound of a man and a woman talking came from the room, which made my heart skip a beat." "I plucked up the courage to look through the crack in the door and saw my mother-in-law nestled in a man's arms." "The mother-in-law told the man that she had wronged him over the years and would continue to wrong him in the future. The man said that as long as he was by her side, he felt only happiness and did not feel wronged at all." "When I heard this, I was shocked. What does 'all these years' mean? It means they have been together for a long time." "How can a concubine keep a lover? This is a huge scandal." "What shocked me even more was what happened next. My mother-in-law told the man that it was all thanks to him that she would have been sent to the cold palace." "I don't understand why my mother-in-law would be sent to the cold palace thanks to that man. But I saw two people snuggling together and heard them say that they had been together for a long time. Hearing such great news, I was panicked and hurriedly retreated." "I didn't expect that I bumped into something when I stepped back, and there was a noise. Then someone's questioning voice came out from the room." "I didn't dare to say a word and hurried out of the yard." "Now that I think about it, I was probably discovered." "After all, I am the only one who pays respects to the Concubine every morning and evening. Mother-in-law will know the answer immediately." "After that, I spent every day in anxiety. After all, my mother-in-law has a lot of power behind her, and she often punishes me. So, I don't know whether I should tell this news to others, and I don't know who to tell." "It wasn't until one night half a month later that you and I had a big argument, Your Majesty, that I couldn't help but mention that your mother had done something to offend your father, but I didn't say what it was." Qiao Wanyou looked at Long Yi: "Your Majesty, this is what happened." Long Yi said in a deep voice: "I believe what you said. Don't worry, I will never take your lives because of this matter." "That's good. I'll say a few more words." Qiao Wanyou sighed and pointed at the green-faced, fang-toothed mask that was placed far away. "Since that morning, I've often been scared by ghost faces at night. I was young and naive at that time, and I didn't connect the ghost faces with what I had seen before." "Now that I think about it, the appearance of Ghost Face has a lot to do with me seeing what happened."

Qiao Wanyou said, "Your Majesty, I don't know who is around the Empress Dowager now. The man from that year may still be by her side, or she may have arranged him outside the palace. I believe it will not be difficult for Your Majesty to find that person, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will not look for him for the sake of his mother's reputation." "I will find it." Long Yi looked at his third son and his third daughter-in-law with a chuckle, "Can you tell me where you got the mask from?" "The cold palace." Fu Ciyi said, "Please don't blame me, father, because she was only found by chance." "Okay." Long Yi said coldly. Yan Funing then said, "The mask was found in the residence of Concubine Ling. Concubine Ling once owned a lot of poisons. The mask was found in her residence. It is very likely that the person who wore the mask lost it while looking for poison." "In fact, when Ling Taipin was banished to the cold palace, all her poisons were taken away. Among those poisons, there was a drug that caused amnesia. Ling Taipin once said that her drug would only be effective if it was combined with intimidation." "When my mother left the capital, she was still able to see, and she had not lost her memory at that time. So the person who poisoned her thought that the existing toxin was useless, so he wanted to go to Ling Taipin to find another poison." "I didn't expect to find it, so I set fire to it." 感谢宝子们的月票：Yan（2张）、书友2018***4315（2张）、书迷，你好！（2张）、书友2023***8505、怦然_Dc、陈佩霞！ 感谢宝子们的红袖票：木夕mmm（22张）、erer99（20张）、雪落的声音（10张）、书友299223（10张）、书友330147（10张）、目中所及心之所向（10张）、书友62022505（4张）、太阳花儿（2张）、蓝天白云（2张）、玫啦啦（2张）！ - Please give me some votes~ Ask for a five-star~
