Fu Ciyi said, "Yes."
The couple got into the carriage.
"Should we go to the outskirts of the capital, or return to the palace?" Yan Funing asked.
Cai Muge is now hiding in a small courtyard outside Beijing, under the watchful eyes of Pang Gaozhuo and people sent by her third brother.
"We're not going to the suburbs of Beijing, nor back to the palace. Let's go back to the Fu family."
"Is that the Fu family that my husband is talking about?"
"Yes, it's the villa in your memory from your previous life."
"I don't really want to go." Yan Funing bit her lip.
Fu Ciyi squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. Besides, the place is full of secret guards, so you can rest assured."
"My husband wants to take me to the other courtyard. What is his purpose?"
"Just watch as time passes. Cai Muge no longer wants to seek revenge."
"In order to find out who wanted to kill me back then, I have no choice but to take risks myself?" Yan Funing asked directly.
"I do think so, Ningning. This problem has been hindering us for a long time. It's time to solve it." He kissed her forehead. "I won't let anything happen to you. Do you believe me?"
If anything happened to her, the first person he would not let go would be herself.
"I believe you." Yan Funing nodded slightly.
Being murdered happened in the previous life. In the absence of more evidence, and especially since the incident has not yet happened in this life, it is indeed difficult to find out the truth of the incident in the previous life.
The couple arrived at the villa.
The courtyard was quite quiet.
"Didn't they say that the secret guards all live in there?"
Yan Funing looked around and it seemed that there were not many people around. Only a few people passed by and saluted them occasionally.
"They come to stay at night and basically carry out tasks during the day."
Fu Ciyi raised his hand to call someone over and ordered him to bring Cai Muge over.
The secret guard said he was leaving.

On this side, Old Master Ling and Cai Tingzhou arrived at the Princess's Mansion.
Shi Yu received them.
"I heard clearly what you two said at the morning court," Shi Yu said. "I believe you two also understand what I said then."
He clearly said that Ling Li could not be the Empress Dowager and must be held accountable.
Did these two people come here to ask him for help?
Old Master Ling said, "Prince Chi is a rare talent, but I haven't heard much about him these days. This is a matter of great regret. I came to visit him today specifically to have a word with him."
The meaning was mentioned briefly.
Shi Yu heard it, but pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "My son is not in good health and is resting. It is not appropriate for him to see guests."
Cai Tingzhou said, "I've heard that Princess Rui is Prince Chi's medicine. Has the Marquis never thought about completely curing Prince Chi's illness?"
The meaning of this statement couldn't be more straightforward.
Shi Yu couldn't pretend not to understand anymore and asked in astonishment, "How did Prime Minister Cai know that?"
"Prince Chi is deeply in love with Princess Rui. Furthermore, the Shi and Yan families already have an engagement. So, I think Princess Rui should be Prince Chi's wife." Cai Tingzhou smiled and said, "I hope the Marquis will allow us to meet Prince Chi."
Shi Yu said: "It's not that I don't want you to see him, it's really that my son is resting."
Hearing what he said, and knowing that they had been sitting in the Princess's Mansion for quite a while and even the Princess hadn't shown up, it was clear that the current situation was indeed difficult for them.
If I wait any longer now, I will probably just get a direct rejection.
Thinking of this, Cai Tingzhou stood up and said, "Then we can only come back another day."
Old Master Ling was stunned and anxious, but he could do nothing but stand up and say goodbye.
"Then I won't see you off." Shi Yu ordered his men to see the guest off.
Old Master Ling pulled Cai Tingzhou back to the car with full energy: "What's wrong with you?"
"If we continue to be in a stalemate, it will only embarrass us. The matter does not necessarily need to be resolved today. If Long Chi'an refuses to meet, it will be pointless for us to force him, and the cooperation formed in this way will not be solid." Cai Tingzhou explained.
And now he is still a prime minister.
Since the new emperor did not take him down immediately, it seems that he is still needed.
In this case, if he pretends to be loyal in the future, can he serve as prime minister longer?
The current problem is the issue between the Ling family and the royal family. His Cai family was just forced by the Ling family. He was also confused today and said those words to Old Master Ling along the way.
No matter what the Cai family will do in the future, or how he will deal with Fu Ciyi, there will always be a way out.
From another perspective, he can make good use of the Ling family.
Instead of being led by the nose by Old Master Ling at this moment.
Old Master Ling didn't think about anything else. He pondered for a moment and nodded: "You are right. Let's come back another day."
The Shi family at this moment.
Long Chi'an walked to the main hall in the front yard and slowly sat down: "Father, it's good that you refused."
Shi Yu said: "They want to pull you into their camp."
"I know that if I agree immediately, they will take advantage of me in the future."
The current situation is that they need him as an excuse to rebel.
They needed him, not him needing them.
Of course, the Ling family's military power is a piece of cake.
Even if they want to cooperate, they all have to obey him.
Shi Yu added, "Old Master Ling also said that you were becoming increasingly depressed. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, he was just trying to provoke you."
"Uncle Jin has ascended the throne, so why should I jump around?"
Can only be feared.
It’s better to stay quiet and dormant.
Just a while ago, he heard that Fu Ning had left the capital with Long Wenyu, and now she has been back for a few days, but he still hasn't seen her...
I really miss you.

On the other side, Cai Muge was brought to Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing.
Facing the unfamiliar mansion, Cai Muge was puzzled: "Where is this?"
