Chapter 1058 Waiting for mercy "My conscience?" Gu Zhongye laughed. "From the moment you ordered me to kill someone, I lost my heart. I thought you and I were of the same mind, and I am willing to put my heart on you, even if I have no heart in my chest. For your position as queen mother, I am willing to do anything. My heart is with you, as long as you are well, I am well." "I am willing to be by your side without any status. I am even willing to help you poison the Queen Mother so that you can ascend to the throne of the Queen Mother from the position of the Imperial Queen Mother." Didn't he know why she kept him? That's because he is more useful than anyone else around her. And with his identity as a fake eunuch, she could easily control him. Once any problems of hers were exposed, she could still put the blame on him, after all, she did many things through him. The Empress Dowager shouted coldly, "Stop talking, stop talking. If I die, you can't live either. In today's situation, no matter what I do, you only have one way, and that is death!" "I know." said Gu Zhong. "But in today's situation, if it weren't for you, I could have survived and you could have stayed by my side. What on earth are you trying to do?" The Empress Dowager really couldn't understand.

Before today, he always listened to her. He did whatever she told him to do. Never expect anything in return. At most she would coax him and he would be satisfied. Gu Zhong shook his head in pain. Until now, she still couldn't understand his intentions. How could he be plotting something? He just wanted her and wanted her to have him in her heart. Now he realized that he was just a piece of shit, not even as good as Lu Tongfu. His pride as a man and decades of pretending to be a eunuch had probably distorted his mind, and he thought that this woman only had him in her heart. But the reality he learned today made him collapse. What's the point of saying anything more at this moment? This woman's heart had never been with him. The Empress Dowager cursed: "Fool, you are so stupid! Don't forget that you were the one who poisoned and set the fire. Even if you tell them everything, will they forgive you?" Yan Funing said, "The Empress Dowager is wrong. We already know what you did. Even if Gu Zhong wasn't there, your crime can still be concluded. My husband and I have already figured out your motives and actions clearly." She raised her hand. "Of course, we didn't expect the incident of arson to happen." Fu Ciyi agreed: "That's true. Since we are here today, we must have sufficient evidence. It's just that using Gu Zhong and Lu Tongfu as witnesses is more convincing." The Empress Dowager couldn't believe it: "You, you have suspected me for a long time?" "Yes." Yan Funing admitted. "Since you doubt me, why did you dare to leave Beijing for so long? Aren't you afraid that I will go all the way?" the Empress Dowager asked again. "Although I don't want to admit it in my heart, I know that my father will be able to protect my mother now. My mother has been separated from my father for so long, my father will definitely not let anything happen to her again." Fu Ciyi said in a calm voice.

He secretly instructed a lot of secret guards to provide protection, and also asked Pang Gaozhuo, Yan Xinghe, Yan Bojian and others for help, so he could naturally rest assured. Of course, there is no need to mention these two points at this moment. Long Yi was moved when he heard this: "This brat!" The brat still has his father in his heart. The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "I don't understand. Qiao is obviously blind and has lost her memory. How come she can see now and remember what happened in the past?" This is the problem that was revealed today. The amnesia poison was indeed from Ling Taipin, but the blindness poison was found by her. "If you knew the antidote to these poisons, I would have destroyed it long ago." She really couldn't understand. Qiao Wanyou smiled faintly: "How can a person with a vicious heart like you know how good my daughter-in-law can be? Even if there is no antidote, I have Fu Ning!" The Empress Dowager burst into laughter and pointed at Yan Funing: "It's you, you are a good girl from the Yan family!" Turning his eyes to look at Long Yi, "Did the emperor forget that it was because Duke Yan did not agree with you becoming the crown prince that you missed the throne for so long." Seeing that she was still trying to sow discord, Fu Ciyi got angry: "Old bitch, the Yan family has been loyal to the country for generations, how can you, an old bitch, judge us?" I’m afraid that my father will be confused at this moment. At this moment, Long Yi raised his hand to signal the three sons to be quiet and let him speak. Fu Ciyi nodded. Long Yi said, "I was five years old at that time. What could I use to compete with my brothers for the throne?" He looked at the Empress Dowager with a solemn look: "With your support and your background to help?" He sneered, "Even if I ascended the throne, could I manage the world at the age of five?" "You are the one who controls the government?" "Based on the fact that I am not your biological son, if this is true, then in the end, wouldn't the Dajing dynasty be ruled by the Ling family? By then, I will be a puppet emperor." "You probably know that many people wanted to kill me back then. I don't know if you were protecting me from behind, but I know that it was my brother who saved me time and time again." "He is the legitimate prince and should legitimately become the emperor." "My father also wanted me to become the emperor, but before he passed away, he passed the throne to the eldest son. Because my brother is kind and benevolent, he can not only manage the country well, but also protect me well." "It doesn't matter whether you fight or not. Father really loves his youngest son and teaches me everything. But I also know that in his heart, an eldest son who has grown up early and has good experience is more suitable for the throne." "Father is wise. Only in this way can Dajing's kingdom last forever." Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager shut her mouth tightly. The Empress Dowager clapped her hands and praised: "The late emperor was indeed kind and benevolent, and he did not make a mistake in choosing us. The throne of Dajing must be inherited by our branch in order to be legitimate." It was indeed a wise move for the late emperor to pass the throne to his younger brother! According to what Long Yi said, this boy deserves to be the new generation of benevolent monarch! Long Yi nodded to the Empress Dowager: "Thank you for your affirmation, Mother!"

The Empress Dowager said, "I understand everything now. Emperor, it is getting late. Please tell me how to deal with the matter in the end." Long Yi said in a clear voice: "The Imperial Guards will guard this palace, and a special person will be assigned to watch over the Empress Dowager. No one else is allowed to get close to her. As for how to deal with the Empress Dowager, we will discuss it after I depose her from the position of Empress Dowager tomorrow morning." After a slight pause, he gave another order: "Gu Zhong, Lu Tongfu, and all the palace maids, eunuchs, and maids in this palace should be taken to the prison and await their fate." The Empress Dowager sneered, and tears welled up in her eyes as she laughed. "Emperor, you have such a cruel heart!" "I have been your mother for more than 40 years. Was it all in vain?" "Even if I did something wrong, it's true that I raised you. Even if I'm not your biological mother, I'm at least your adoptive mother, right?" "Is this how the new emperor of Dajing treats the mother who raised you with so much hardship?"
