Long Yi ignored her and helped Concubine Yun, while Qiao Wanyou helped the Empress Dowager and walked side by side with the mother and son. Fu Ciyi glanced at Pang Gaozhuo. Pang Gaozhuo understood and waved his hand, and many guards entered and took away all the maids, eunuchs and nannies in the Empress Dowager's palace. In addition, another team of guards surrounded the Empress Dowager's bedroom. As soon as the imperial guards surrounded the place, Eunuch Han brought over a few strong maids. "Keep an eye on the Empress Dowager," Eunuch Han ordered. The maids said yes. Although they were brought here temporarily and didn't know what had happened, they saw all the palace maids being taken away, and they also saw the majestic guards standing guard, so they thought something big had happened. The Empress Dowager spat, "Eunuch." Eunuch Han laughed: "I am a castrated dog. After tonight, you will no longer be the Empress Dowager. If you want to scold me, do it now. I won't give you a chance tomorrow." The Empress Dowager was so angry that she almost exploded. She quickly said sharply: "Just wait and see who has the last laugh."
The people behind her have considerable power. If the emperor wants to depose her as his mother, he should also consider the power behind her. Eunuch Han ignored her and said to the maids, "She is not the emperor's biological mother. You should take care of her. Do you know what to do?" "I know what's going on." They are the thugs in the palace. Of course, those who were beaten were women who were disobedient or did evil. Now that Eunuch Han said this, and he was someone close to the emperor, they naturally knew what to do. Eunuch Han nodded, swept his whisk and left. He hurried to Long Yi's side and said, "Your Majesty, I think the masters must be hungry. Although things are complicated today, at least Your Majesty and the Concubine have recognized each other as mother and son. I think we should have a simple reunion dinner first." "Yes, you should eat." The Queen Mother said, "After you finish eating, let Sister Yun stay at my place first." It would be too late to clean up a palace at night, and there would be some negligence. Besides, Concubine Yun’s status would probably change, and it would not be convenient for her to live in any palace. But she was the Empress Dowager, so it was reasonable for her to let Concubine Yun live with her temporarily, which also showed their respect for her. "Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, mother." Long Yi thanked him and paused for a moment before adding, "It's time to have the reunion dinner. Come along, mother." Qiao Chen bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Tai, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now." Before Qiao Wanyou could speak, Long Yi said, "You should stay for dinner too." Qiao Chen looked at Qiao Wanyou, and when he saw his sister nodded, he said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command." Eunuch Han ran quickly to the imperial kitchen. The entire palace was discussing what happened today.
Discuss what happened. At this moment, when they saw Long Yi coming out with his men and seeing him personally supporting an old lady, those who didn't know Concubine Yun were basically shocked. Especially the Ling family. She wanted to go up and ask, but she didn't dare. At this time, a palace maid whispered in her ear: "My lady, the Empress Dowager has been locked up, go and see her quickly." "Locked up? Where is he being held?" Ling felt inexplicably panicked. "It was in the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Everyone around the Empress Dowager was taken away." Ling frowned: "What's so serious?" "I don't know, Madam, please go and take a look." Ling ignored the pointing and criticism of others, held the hand of the palace maid, and walked towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom. When they arrived, they saw the guards immediately step forward to stop them. "No outsiders are allowed to enter!" "How dare you!" Ling shouted, "You are blind. I am the concubine, why don't you let me in?" "Please go back, Madam Shufei. The Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to see the Empress Dowager." After saying that, the guard blocked the attack with his weapon, frightening Ling so much that he took two steps back. The palace maids quickly protected her. Ling then realized that something was wrong, and she grabbed the maid's hand and strode away: "Go and find out what happened?" "I will go right away, Madam, please go back and be careful." "Just go." Ling held her chest, feeling that she no longer had the bargaining chips to fight Qiao Wanyou. - A quarter of an hour later, the dining table in the small dining room in the main hall was filled with wine and food. Long Yi helped the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun to sit down, and then he pulled Qiao Wanyou to sit down. After they sat down, Fu Ciyi and others took their seats one after another. Today we know too many things that happened in the past. Although it is a reunion dinner, there are not many smiles on everyone’s faces. "When my grandmother was in the cold palace, she often didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. Sometimes the food was frozen. I saw it with my own eyes." Yan Funing said this, and Long Yi felt extremely guilty. "Mom, I am an unfilial son." Long Yi felt really uncomfortable. Concubine Yun patted his arm and said, "It was my fault that I failed to protect you." After the meal, the atmosphere became a little more lively.
The Empress Dowager took Concubine Yun's hand and said, "You will stay here today. The Emperor will definitely give you, his dear mother, an explanation." Concubine Yun nodded. At this time, Concubine Ling spoke up: "Sister Yun has finally gotten her happy ending after all the hardships she's endured." She stood up and said, "I'm going back to the cold palace now. I'm quite happy to have witnessed Sister Yun find her son and her family today." Concubine Yun quickly grabbed her with her other hand. Seeing this, Yan Funing requested: "Father, my grandmother has Concubine Ling as her companion, so life in the cold palace is not so boring." "Princess Rui is really a sensible child. I am very happy to see her." Ling Taipin smiled, "In fact, I have always been an outsider in this palace." She had no children and was alone. It doesn't matter where you live. "Princess Ling, please don't go back to the cold palace." Long Yi finally spoke. "Really?" Ling Taipin couldn't believe it. "Yeah." Long Yi nodded. As long as his biological mother needs it, he will do whatever he can. Ling Taipin smiled and suddenly burst into tears: "It's great, it's great to have a child." "Grandma Ling, please wipe your tears." Yan Funing spoke softly and handed over the handkerchief. Hearing her call her grandma, Concubine Ling was very excited and hugged her tightly: "I finally know why Sister Yun likes you so much. In the cold palace, I can hear her say how great you are every day." She was a real loner. She had no family outside the palace, and no one inside the palace was her family. She was so happy that someone called her like that. "This girl is really good." The Queen Mother also said, "Thanks to her, otherwise I would have been killed by Ling Li." "In the future I will have three grandmothers, which is really great." Yan Funing smiled with her eyes curved. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun laughed out loud. Even Concubine Ling burst into laughter. Long Yi squeezed Qiao Wanyou's hand and sighed, "This girl is indeed a good daughter-in-law." Very good at making the elderly happy. Just then, there was a noisy sound coming from outside the hall. "Who is making noise?" Long Yi said in a deep voice. Ling ran in crying. When she was still quite a distance away from Long Yi, she knelt on the ground and crawled over: "Your Majesty, please let the Empress Dowager go!" (End of this chapter)
