"Taipin Ling was anxious, but it was useless. The late emperor and her were separated in this way."
Having said that, Eunuch Song sighed deeply.
Yan Funing asked, "Is it common knowledge that Concubine Ling is skilled in poison?"
Eunuch Song replied, "It wasn't at first. At that time, someone saw Concubine Ling interacting with the late emperor. This was unethical, and the Empress Dowager was furious and had Concubine Ling imprisoned in the cold palace."
"When Concubine Ling was imprisoned in the cold palace, she wasn't allowed to take much with her. At the same time, her former bedroom was searched, and a lot of poison was found."
"Upon hearing the news, the Empress Dowager ordered a body search in the cold palace, but they didn't find any poison hidden next to Concubine Ling."
"Later, people kept suggesting that a poisoner wouldn't be safe in the palace, even in the cold palace, and they demanded that the Empress Dowager order her execution."
"In fact, which concubine in the palace at that time didn't have a few poisons that she was familiar with?"
"It's just that Concubine Ling was exposed, and since she was indeed skilled in poisons and possessed a large number of them, she was used as an example by others."
"Whether the Empress Dowager intended to execute Concubine Ling, I dare not speculate, but I know that Concubine Ling was saved because she went crazy."
Hearing this, Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi and said, "My husband, based on what the father-in-law said and what I just thought, do you think my guess is correct?"
Fu Ciyi didn't hide it from Eunuch Song, thinking he could use this opportunity to test his loyalty again, so he said, "We suspect Concubine Ling is feigning madness. What do you think, Eunuch Song?"
Eunuch Song was startled: "Pretending to be crazy?"
"This old servant has not seen Concubine Ling for a long time. It must have been at least thirty years since she was banished to the cold palace." After a slight pause, he suggested, "Your Highness, Princess, could this old servant go to Concubine Ling? She should have a special reaction when she sees me. Then you two masters can judge whether she is truly crazy or just pretending to be crazy."
The couple looked at each other and nodded.
After asking about the matter, Fu Ciyi asked Eunuch Song to go back and rest.
Just then, Yu Liang brought over some midnight snack.
"Your Highness, Princess, please have some midnight snack."
"Put it there." Fu Ciyi pointed at the table calmly, "You can go down and rest too."
Yu Liang said he would step down.
Only Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing were left in the study.
"Just now, I asked my husband what he asked Eunuch Song." Yan Funing asked directly, "Is my husband trying to see if Eunuch Song is trustworthy?"
"I really can't hide it from you." Fu Ciyi smiled.
He picked up the bowl and scooped a spoonful of soup. When he found the temperature was just right, he scooped another spoonful and fed it to Yan Funing.
Yan Funing opened her mouth and ate, then asked, "Then, my husband, do you think he can be trusted?"
"Probably, Ningning, what do you think?"
"It should be possible. Eunuch Song has no relatives. He is alone and has always been loyal to the Emperor's uncle. I have never heard of him being close to any of the princes before. It is obvious that he is a person worthy of trust."
After spending these days together, I can still see a little bit about his character.
Fu Ciyi nodded, took another spoonful himself, and then continued to feed her.
Yan Funing finally reacted, her soft voice rising a lot: "Feed me with the spoon you used?"
Fu Ciyi laughed: "We've kissed so many times, so what if we use the same spoon?"
His voice is low, deep, and pleasant to the ear.
Yan Funing choked: "That's the truth."
But why did she feel something was wrong?
After thinking it over, she finally found the problem: "Husband, let me feed you."
It always felt weird when he fed her.
"You and I are husband and wife, what's the difference between us? Besides, I can feed you whenever I want."
You should pamper your own wife.
She needs to eat more so that she can have more strength to heal her wound faster.
The wound needs to be strong enough to withstand his force.
Yan Funing had no idea what he was thinking. Since he was so attentive, she just let him be.
After they had eaten their fill, they returned to their room.
As she was quite full, Yan Funing did not want to go to bed early, so after she finished her meal, she sat on the bed and read a book.
"It's late at night, why don't you go to bed?"
Fu Ciyi was curious about what she was reading, so he reached out and closed the cover of the book in her hand. The title of the book was very long, and it probably talked about how couples can live in harmony in daily life.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is it a storybook?"
"It's a storybook." Yan Funing lowered her eyes and continued reading. "I ate too much just now, so I can only sleep later."
Fu Ciyi chuckled: "Judging from the title of the book, your mental journey is quite clear."
"What?"
"Wasn't it originally about escaping or something like that?" he asked.
Yan Funing raised her eyes upon hearing this and glared at him: "Humph, times are different now, don't you know?"
"How is it different?"
The man is determined to get to the bottom of things.
"We were a fake couple before, but now we are a real couple."
"How can it be true now?"
"Not true enough?" She glared at him.
Fu Ciyi leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
Yan Funing pretended to be upset, closed the book and went to hit him.
He pulled the quilt away from her and hid under the covers.
"It's so itchy." Yan Funing giggled.
The next moment, he couldn't help but moan in his throat.
"Fu Ciyi, get up."
The man didn't respond.
Yan Funing held him down: "Get up! If you don't get up, I'll be mad."
Hearing this, Fu Ciyi got out of bed and kissed her lips again.
The kiss was lingering, and Yan Funing slowly finished the words in the book in her hand.
The atmosphere was ambiguous and the two of them slowly lay down.
The kiss continues...
