Chapter 1047 Someone Steals The Empress Dowager sneered: "Am I afraid of her?" Yan Funing smiled and said, "It's good that the Empress Dowager is not afraid of her. In this case, the Empress Dowager does not need to be bothered by the two concubines coming over. On the contrary, they were in the harem together in the past, so they are naturally like sisters. Today is a good opportunity to catch up with the past." The so-called reminiscing about the past means talking about what happened in the past. Tell the truth and make it clear. The Empress Dowager was helpless. In the current situation, it would be useless for her to order Gu Zhong to resist. What if Long Yi really ordered him to be castrated... For a moment, I felt confused. His brows were furrowed, and his mood was written on his face. Yan Funing glanced at her and asked, "What is the Empress Dowager thinking about?" "If I don't want to say it, then I won't say it. You are such a rude woman." The Empress Dowager snorted coldly.

At this time, Long Yi and Yan Funing said, "I have also approved this matter." "Thank you, father!" Yan Funing thanked him. Soon, palace maids went to the Empress Dowager's palace and the cold palace respectively. The Empress Dowager was carried by four eunuchs in a sedan chair and arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace first. The scene in front of her shocked her: "Is someone stealing?" The palace maids, nannies, and eunuchs all stood with their heads hung, looking as if they had done something seriously wrong. "My Queen Mother, someone did steal." Qiao Wanyou bowed. Fu Ciyi and others followed suit and paid their respects. Long Yi personally went to help the Empress Dowager: "Mother, please take a seat." The Queen Mother said "hmm", looked at the Emperor Queen Mother with provocative eyes, and said to Long Yi: "You are a filial son, and you deserve the late emperor to pass the throne to you." After sitting down, the Queen Mother looked at Qiao Wanyou gently: "What was stolen?" "There are so many things stolen that I can't explain them all at once." Qiao Wanyou said. Stealing poison. Stealing men. Stealing children. Stealing points. Things like this are hard to explain at the moment. Of course, she would not say anything until the matter was clarified in public. After all, there should be evidence when speaking and doing things. The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Thefts in the palace can be minor or major. If it is a major incident, the punishment should be severe. Emperor and Empress, you should also sit down."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Long Yi and Qiao Wanyou both sat back in their original seats. On the main seat, one on the left and one on the right sat the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Emperor. The Empress Dowager, who used to be so domineering in her own palace, immediately became less imposing when she saw the Empress Dowager. In addition, Long Yi was obviously not on her side at the moment, so her face turned pale and she didn't say a word. Whatever she said at this moment would be investigated, so she might as well not say anything. Everyone waited for a long time before the two concubines in the cold palace were finally invited over. Since the eunuch who came to invite them only said that the emperor invited them over but did not explain why, the two were still confused when they arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace. Concubine Ling laughed, spun around and started dancing again. Yan Funing walked over quickly and whispered, "Please forgive me, Madam Taipin. I have already told my father that you are not crazy." "This..." Seeing that the Empress Dowager was also here, Concubine Ling panicked and hurriedly hid behind Concubine Yun, "Sister Yun, save me!" Concubine Yun frowned and looked at Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing: "What's going on?" Fu Ciyi said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I called you two here today to be witnesses. Father will not punish you." The two imperial concubines were still confused for a moment. Long Yi said, "Come here, please take a seat." Soon, two chairs were brought in. Long Yi raised his hand and invited the two imperial concubines: "Please take your seats quickly." Upon hearing this, Concubine Yun and Concubine Ling finally felt relieved. After all, the current emperor addressed them respectfully as "you" and asked them to take a seat, so it was obviously not a request for accountability. Seeing that it was time to sort things out, Yan Funing walked to the door of the palace and said to Eunuch Han, "Excuse me, Eunuch, please bring me the green-faced, fang-toothed mask." Eunuch Han smiled and took out the mask from his wide sleeves: "Princess, I carry it with me." "Thank you, father-in-law!" "You are Welcome." Eunuch Han smiled. Yan Funing nodded and returned to the main hall. Long Yi said in a clear voice: "Wen Yu Fu Ning, go on." The young couple looked at each other, and Fu Ciyi raised his hand, motioning Yan Funing to speak first. Yan Funing stepped forward and said, "More than ten years ago, when my father and mother were still the Prince of Jin and the Princess of Jin, a fire broke out in the Prince of Jin's mansion." "The fire did not burn for no reason. Half a month before the fire, my mother went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager early in the morning and accidentally caught her having an affair. This man was standing in the courtyard at that moment. His name was Gu Zhong."

Yan Funing told her mother in detail what she had heard and seen that year. Then he continued, "After that, my mother was often threatened by people using this green-faced, fang-toothed mask." "Why do I use this mask? It's because I was poisoned with a poison that can cause blindness. This poison works very well with intimidation." Yan Funing said this and looked at Concubine Ling. "Lady Ling, after you were banished to the cold palace, did all the poisons you used disappear?" Concubine Ling nodded: "Yes, it has disappeared. My former maid told me that not a single bit of it is left. The mask in the princess's hand was found in my current residence. The villain came here specifically to look for other poisons and accidentally left it behind." "You were the one wearing the mask and scaring people back then, right?" Yan Funing walked up to Gu Zhong holding the mask with a green face and fangs. Fu Ciyi followed Yan Funing closely to prevent Gu Zhonggou from doing anything desperate. Gu Zhong bowed his head and said, "Princess, I admit that I have a secret affair with the Empress Dowager, but I cannot do something as scary as wearing a mask!" Yan Funing smiled, picked up the mask and gestured to Gu Zhong: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I guess it was you who poisoned my mother back then. You poisoned my mother on the orders of the Empress Dowager." "You little naughty girl, you are talking nonsense!" the Empress Dowager shouted. "To determine whether he is lying or not, we can order someone to check whether there is any poison in Gu Zhong's residence." Yan Funing said calmly, and turned to ask Long Yi, "Please allow me, father." "Come here, search." Long Yi ordered. "Yes." Pang Gaozhuo responded and led the guards inside. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager turned pale. This Long Yi not only ordered the eunuchs to surround her bedroom, but also dispatched the imperial guards. The development of the matter was beyond her expectations. If things continued at this speed, then the blood test that year... If the blood test was brought up again today, even if there were people of hers in the Imperial Hospital... But there is one biggest variable at hand, and that is Yan Funing. This person was able to cure the late emperor's arm, which showed that she had some medical skills. If she were to perform a blood test, things would be different. Then she thought that fortunately what Qiao heard back then were only the things she had just repeated, so she had no choice but to admit that she had kept a lover secretly and push Gu Zhong out. Just a man. That's the end of the matter. In this case, at most she would be considered to be sorry to the old emperor, as she was still the honorable empress dowager and the biological mother of the current emperor. What is reputation, and what is a man? 感谢宝子们的月票：fish_fish、书友2022***3744、书友2024***2023、书友2018***4315、小陌姬、书友2023***7541、风下五！ Thank you Baozi for the red sleeve ticket: mimitutu!
