After hearing this, everyone was silent. As we all know, when the old emperor was choosing the crown prince, he was wavering between his eldest son and his youngest son. Later, he was more inclined to choose his youngest son as the heir. Although the reality at that time was that many people supported the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was born to the queen, it was popular to make him the crown prince. But even so, the old emperor at that time still preferred his youngest son to be the crown prince. Long Yi now understands this point very well. Also because his father had tried hard to make him the crown prince, and many of his brothers wanted to kill him. Of course, he only knew these words because his royal brother told him before his death. The Queen Mother was silent at this moment. She and the old emperor were young couples, and they lived a sweet life in the first few years after their marriage. Later, when she grew old and lost her beauty, he showed her more respect. He made the same mistake that many men make, liking young women.
He also likes children born to young women. She has a deep understanding of this point. Qiao Wanyou sensed the undercurrent between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Although she was not clear about the dispute between her brother and Long Yi over the position of Crown Prince, the Empress Dowager knew it clearly. Being brought up at this moment naturally creates a big gap. She had to remind him at the right time to avoid unnecessary trouble, so she said, "Your Majesty, I remember that my brother has taken good care of you." Long Yi nodded, reacted, and said to the Empress Dowager: "Mother, it was thanks to my brother's care and love that I am where I am today. My brother is kind and worthy of the title of a benevolent monarch!" The Empress Dowager was relieved to hear this: "You and the late emperor are both fine." Now that Long Yi's world belongs to him, what else can an old woman like her do? Long Yi found his biological mother. He knew nothing about the fact that his biological mother had suffered in the cold palace for so many years, and he must have felt guilty. As the biological mother of Long Yi, Concubine Yun never raised her son for even a single day, so she must have felt regretful. In this way, the mother and son will definitely have a good relationship. In addition, Concubine Yun's love for the Queen and Prince Rui and his wife did not seem fake, so it is obvious that their family will live happily in the future. What use will there be for an old woman like her who can’t get any older by then? It is useless to rely on Long Shuyun and Long Chi'an alone. After all, they were in the Princess's residence, and she was in the Imperial Palace. Now that the Emperor, Empress, Prince Rui and Princess Rui all respected her, she should temporarily forget the past conflicts between the late Emperor and Long Yi, and enjoy their respect and love for her in the present moment. It would be enough for her to be an upright Empress Dowager. What's more, the Empress Dowager's behavior was really excessive. He immediately turned his powerful gaze towards Gu Zhong: "It's getting late, why don't you tell me everything as soon as possible?" Gu Zhong said: "That day, both ladies showed signs of giving birth. In fact, Lipin showed signs of giving birth two days earlier, and she kept asking Yunpin if she had started. When she was able to give birth to the child, Lipin deliberately held back."
"Yunpin, who was given the drug to induce labor, really gave birth to the prince first. However, it is said that Yunpin had a painful delivery. Even so, the emperor did not go to see her. Lipin was happy to hear this." At this time, Yan Funing said, "The nanny next to Grandma Yun told me that she was in pain during childbirth because the baby's head was too big." Gu Zhong said, "There is a reason for that. Lipin relies on her favor to ask for different food every day, and the emperor agrees. Lipin specifically told the emperor that pregnant women like to eat the food she mentioned. The emperor then ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare two portions of food for pregnant women, one for Lipin and the other for Yunpin. In fact, Lipin herself did not eat much, and I found that Yunpin thought it was the emperor's care, so she ate almost all of it." Upon hearing this, Yun Taipin slammed the table and stood up, walked a few steps to the Empress Dowager, reached out and grabbed her collar. "Ling Li, you wanted to kill us back then! You made me eat more, so the baby in my belly grew bigger, making it difficult to give birth. Don't you want me to give birth to the baby?" He gritted his teeth as he spoke, and his strength was so great that he actually lifted the Empress Dowager from her chair. The Empress Dowager was startled, and in a trance, she blurted out: "What are you talking about? If I didn't want you to give birth to the child, why would I order someone to give you a labor-inducing drug?" As soon as the words came out, the Empress Dowager realized that she had actually said such a thing. It was all because for more than forty years, she had dreamed countless times that Concubine Yun asked her for a child. Concubine Yun sneered: "Finally you admitted to giving me the drug that induced labor." The Empress Dowager slapped her hand away and sat back down. That bastard Gu Zhong has already said it, so it doesn't matter if he admits to administering the oxytocin drug. Then he said, "It's true that the old emperor liked the youngest son at that time. I used drugs to induce labor for the sake of status and favor. You are really making a fuss. You are about the same age as me. In fact, the old emperor admired you very much back then, so of course I had to use some tricks." Grandma Yun was able to lift the Empress Dowager with one hand, which shows how strong she is. She is strong, her father is strong, so Fu Ciyi is also strong... Yan Funing thought to herself, it is indeed a continuation of the same lineage. Gu Zhong continued, "In fact, when Concubine Yun gave birth, the Emperor wanted to visit her, but was stopped by Concubine Li's people." Concubine Yun smiled, shook her head, and sat back. She never expected to be favored by that man. Now, decades later, I feel nothing when I hear it. "You better tell me why she wants to exchange my child?" Gu Zhong replied, "After the prince born to Concubine Li was sent to the prince's residence, he died for some unknown reason. The prince died young and his position was no longer secure. At that time, Concubine Li's palace was in chaos, and a maid suggested bringing in a baby boy from outside the palace." “This law is denied.” "Why can't we sneak one in from outside the palace?" "That's because after Lipin gave birth, the little prince was brought to the emperor for a look. Even though the babies looked the same, the little prince looked very much like the emperor. Because of the resemblance, the emperor was very happy and immediately promoted Lipin to Li Fei." "Looking for someone outside the palace, firstly, time is tight, and secondly, it is difficult to find someone who looks very similar. If we just pick someone randomly, we will definitely be exposed. It will be even more of a crime to be exposed by the emperor himself." "At that time, Lipin said something. She said that the child born by Yunpin and her child were brothers, and they must look very similar. Only by swapping the two princes could she keep her position as a concubine and her future wealth and glory would be more guaranteed." "After hearing this, we went to the prince's residence overnight and swapped the two princes." "Later, the palace servants who served the prince found that the prince born by Concubine Yun had lost his breath, so they went to report it to the emperor. It is said that the people in Concubine Yun's palace asked about the prince's condition more than once, but no one told Concubine Yun and her people in the palace. It was not until two days after she gave birth that the matter was told to Concubine Yun."
"Yunpin doesn't believe that the prince she gave birth to is gone just like that. Lifei had already guessed this." "She bribed Doctor Lu when he was checking her pulse." "As expected, Concubine Yun asked the Emperor and Empress for a blood test." (End of this chapter)
