Chapter 1046 What Are You Afraid of "What have you done wrong that you still need me to tell you?" Long Yi asked in a deep voice. The man's eyes kept rolling and his mind followed suit. The current situation clearly shows that the emperor and others are well prepared. If he confronts them head-on at this moment, he will end up in trouble. But if he didn't say anything, the Empress Dowager would be in great trouble. But if he said anything, he would probably die immediately. For a moment he didn't know what to say or do. Fu Ciyi saw at a glance that there was a piece of knife handle exposed in the man's palm, and he kicked it. The dagger in the man's sleeve flew out diagonally and fell to the ground with a thud. "How do you explain it?"

The tone was cold and full of endless pressure. The man kowtowed again: "Please forgive me, Your Highness Prince Rui! As someone who is close to the Empress Dowager, I have always been concerned about your safety, so I usually hide a dagger in my sleeve." The Empress Dowager helped explain: "I allowed him to carry the dagger with him." She turned to look at Long Yi, "Emperor, I am tired, you can go back." Long Yi said to Qiao Wanyou, "Queen, come and sit next to me." Since this eunuch hid a dagger, perhaps other eunuchs did too. Wanyou is still standing there at this moment, which is obviously inappropriate, so she should be called back. As for Wenyu, this brat, since he is good at fighting, it is okay for him to stand alone. On the other side, Fu Beimo quietly took a step forward and protected Yan Funing and Fu Nanyao behind him without making a sound. Qiao Wanyou said yes, returned to Long Yi and sat down again. Long Yi held onto Qiao Wanyou's hand tightly, and then said to the Empress Dowager, "It's still early now, mother, let's talk more and watch a good show, what do you think?" On the surface, it was to seek the opinion of the Empress Dowager, but in reality it was just a remark. "What play would the emperor like to invite me to watch?" How could the Empress Dowager not understand what Long Yi meant? But she couldn't understand how this Qiao had recovered his eyesight and memory when the antidote was clearly destroyed. There was never a moment when she regretted it. I regret that I didn't stab the mother and son with a knife, but used fire instead. If they had stabbed the Qiao mother and son with a knife, they would not have appeared in front of her today, so arrogantly. Long Yi ordered loudly: "Come here." Eunuch Han immediately entered: "Your Majesty, this old servant is here." He was followed by two young eunuchs.

Long Yi squeezed his hands and said softly to Qiao Wanyou, "Cover your eyes for a while." He turned his head and said to Fu Nanyao and Yan Funing, "You too." The emperor gave orders, and they obeyed. Seeing that the three of them had covered their eyes, Long Yi coldly ordered: "Take off this eunuch's pants for me." The man tightly grasped the waistband of his pants and said, "Your Majesty, I am a eunuch, how could I pollute the eyes of all the masters?" "They covered their eyes. As for the Queen Mother..." Long Yi turned his head and glanced at the expression of the Empress Dowager, "As for the Queen Mother, she is fine..." The Empress Dowager looked unhappy and angry: "What exactly does the Emperor want to do?" Long Yi did not answer, but raised his hand and ordered Eunuch Han and others to take action. Eunuch Han understood and took a step forward. Two young eunuchs came over from the left and right behind him and held up the man. Eunuch Han quickly pulled down the man's pants. What they saw made the maids cry out in shock and cover their eyes. "He, he is not a eunuch." The palace maids shouted loudly. Qiao Wanyou, Yan Funing and Fu Nanyao heard it clearly. That man was really not a eunuch. Being a eunuch beside the Empress Dowager, it must be hard to shave and cover up your beard every day. Long Yi looked at the Empress Dowager coldly: "The eunuch confidant beside my mother is not a eunuch." The Empress Dowager's face turned pale and blue. But she quickly calmed down: "It's really abominable that I have such a person by my side." Then she changed the subject, "Emperor, please spare him for the sake of Gu Zhong's loyalty to me for more than ten years." Long Yi raised his hand. The two young eunuchs who were holding Gu Zhong immediately let go. Gu Zhong hurriedly put on his pants and knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Although I am not a real eunuch, I am loyal to the Empress Dowager!" "Put down the hands in front of you." Long Yi said calmly, gently grabbing the hand in front of Qiao Wanyou. Qiao Wanyou said, "More than ten years ago, when I was still the Princess of Jin, I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and saw you in her room. The Empress Dowager leaned in your arms, and the two of you were very affectionate and had a deep friendship." As she spoke, she looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Are you still pretending that you don't know that he is not a eunuch?" "Qiao, just because I used to value Ling, you framed me like this?" The Empress Dowager grabbed the teacup and threw it on the ground in front of Qiao Wanyou. The teacup shattered and the tea splashed everywhere. Qiao Wanyou smiled and shook off the tea that splashed on her skirt: "The Queen Mother said that day that if it weren't for him, you would have been banished to the cold palace." The Empress Dowager panicked: "Qiao, stop talking nonsense!" But Ling said at this moment: "How could my aunt be banished to the cold palace? Queen, please don't lie!"

"Why was she banished to the cold palace? I think the Empress Dowager and this fake eunuch know best." Qiao Wanyou looked at Long Yi gently, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is of noble status and cannot be punished by law. What should we do?" Long Yi said lightly: "It is inappropriate to use torture in the palace. Since he is a fake eunuch, let him become a real eunuch." Gu Zhong kowtowed after hearing this: "Your Majesty, it was me who seduced the Empress Dowager. This has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager's suggestion of banishing me to the cold palace was simply because I was with the Empress Dowager in my early years. There was no other reason. The Empress Dowager is your mother. The reputation of the royal family is greater than heaven. Please punish me alone. I am willing to take all the blame." The implication is that he is not afraid of death, let alone becoming a real eunuch at this moment. The Empress Dowager had a gloomy face. I was filled with hatred and anger. Long Yi straightened his dragon robe with one hand, half-closed his eyes, and spoke in an unusually cold voice: "Long Wenyu, Yan Funing." Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing walked up to Long Yi, and the young couple stood side by side: "Your son is here." Long Yi ordered: "This matter is in your hands. Do whatever you want to do." After a slight pause, he turned his eyes to the Empress Dowager and said, "Make sure to restore the truth of the fire that year." The young couple should claim yes. When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face turned pale. Hold the chair armrests tightly with both hands. Seeing this, Long Yi knew that he was right to entrust the task to his third son and his third daughter-in-law. Fu Ciyi said, "Father, the incident back then was of great importance. I hope the Empress Dowager will come here and listen to the truth of the matter." A blood test was done a few days after my father was born. The Empress Dowager, who was also the Queen at that time, was also present. Long Yi nodded: "Okay." Yan Funing also said: "Father, I would like to invite Concubine Yun and Concubine Ling who are in the cold palace to come here as well." "I won't allow women who have been banished to the cold palace to come to my bedroom." The Empress Dowager was furious. "What is the Empress Dowager afraid of? Is she afraid of Concubine Yun?" Yan Funing asked her with a frown. Thanks to my dear friends for their monthly tickets: Book friend 2023***8505 (2 tickets), Selina1234, Milk Cocoa, Big Mosquito, and Fish Haha!
