Cai Muge added: "Sister, today I saw Princess Rui snuggling up to Prince Rui. Her charming appearance made even I, a woman myself, unable to resist taking a second look. I think their relationship must be truly wonderful, truly the envy of others."
Upon hearing this, Cai Mushi clenched her fists in her sleeves.
"Daddy, I can't stand it!"
You have to know that she had taken a fancy to Long Wenyu when he was still Fu Ciyi.
If it weren't for Yan Funing, she would be the current Princess Rui.
If she was Princess Rui, how could she possibly be with Long Yaodong? In this case, Long Yaodong's own death had nothing to do with her.
The most important thing is that Long Wenyu is the legitimate son of the new emperor and is very likely to become the crown prince in the future.
When she thought of this, she became more jealous of Yan Funing.
Cai Muge whispered again, "Sister, I heard Prince Rui say today that he and his wife often stay at the Fu Mansion. Why would they stay at the Fu Mansion when they have such a nice and big palace to stay at?"
"What did he say?" Cai Mushi asked.
Cai Muge said, "Prince Rui said that Princess Rui had feelings for that mansion, so they went back to stay there for a while. I still don't understand why they could have feelings for such a small place."
"It's been quite some time since they got married for the second time. Could it be that Yan Funing is pregnant with Prince Rui's child? Pregnant women usually have strange demands. If they don't have requirements for food, then they have requirements for accommodation." Cai Mushi guessed.
Cai Muge agreed: "Yes, yes, that's right. The way His Royal Highness Prince Rui carefully supported Princess Rui really looked like he was supporting a pregnant woman. It's probably because the pregnancy is still young, so it's not noticeable, and it's not appropriate to make it public."
Cai Mushi sneered when she heard this: "Yueyue is still young, right?"
Yan Funing was actually pregnant with Long Wenyu's child, so she had to kill her.
"Which mansion are you talking about, the Fu Mansion?" Cai Mushi asked carefully, "Then do you know which courtyard they will live in?"
"I know. I took a closer look when I left just now."
"Good sister." Cai Mushi took a pen and paper from her father's desk, "Help me draw it."
"Okay." Cai Muge agreed.
Cai Tingzhou sensed his daughter's intention and asked directly, "Mu Shi, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, Daddy. I really want to kill Yan Funing, but before I kill her, I want to use her to do something."
"What's up?"
"As long as I can help you convince Prince Chi to cooperate with us, the Ling family will definitely obey you when they start a rebellion."
"Long Chi'an refuses to even show his face. It's difficult to convince him." Cai Tingzhou said gently.
"Don't worry, Daddy. I have a plan."
Cai Mushi said this, urging Cai Muge to draw the Fu family mansion more carefully.
After Cai Muge finished drawing, Cai Mushi immediately took the drawing away and returned to his own yard.
While spreading the paper on the table and studying the connections in the Fu Mansion, she instructed her confidant, "Go find Yu Liang and tell him I haven't contacted him in a long time because he's been hiding so well, and I don't want him to arouse Prince Rui's suspicion. Now I just want a schedule of when Yan Funing will be staying at the Fu Mansion. Tell him to send it to me no matter what."
"Yes, miss."
The confidant immediately took the order and left.

In the evening.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing were having dinner in the dining room.
Yu Liang bowed and came forward to report truthfully, "Your Highness, Princess, this afternoon, Cai Mushi sent a confidant to speak to me and asked for a schedule for the Princess's stay at the Fu Mansion."
Hearing this, the couple looked at each other.
Yu Liang asked anxiously, "I don't know what Cai Mushi'an's intentions are. I have a feeling she has no good intentions. My two masters, what should I do?"
"That's the point of preventing you from breaking up with Cai Mushi." Fu Ciyi said, "Just give us a schedule and tell us that the princess will stay at the Fu Mansion for the next three days."
"I understand," Yu Liang said, "In order to prevent Cai Mushi from getting suspicious, I went to Cai's house late at night."
"Um."
Yu Liang then withdrew.
Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi, who was leisurely enjoying his meal. "In the next three days, Cai Mushi will definitely do something strange. If she was the one who killed me in my previous life, then she will definitely do it within these three days."
"Ningning, your past life and this life are different. In this life, she wants to kill you, that's for sure." After a slight pause, Fu Ciyi expressed his guess, "I guess before she takes your life in this life, she will use you to negotiate a cooperation with Long Chi'an."
"Long Chi'an was previously secretly designated as the crown prince by the Emperor's uncle. Now that he can't become emperor, he must be resentful. He could easily be persuaded by the Ling and Cai families and then commit treason."
"There is another reason that is more important to him, and that is you."
"My husband, do you mean that Long Chi'an is interested in me and wants to have me?"
"Isn't it?" Fu Ciyi asked back.
"What he thinks is his business," Yan Funing said, "but the people of Dajing are not surnamed Shi. So what if he is given the national surname?" After a slight pause, she added, "Also, my husband, please don't forget that I can be of use to him."
"Yes, so whether it's your body or your heart, he probably wants it."
"I don't want to hear that."
Yan Funing ate quickly.
Fu Ciyi said softly, "I'm telling the truth, so don't be angry."
"I'm not angry. As a daughter of the Yan family, I am useful for his illness, but my sister is also somewhat helpful. This is not something we can decide."
As she spoke, Yan Funing thought of what the two young masters of the Shi family had said.
"Husband, I think there is a way to stop Long Chi'an from collaborating with the Ling and Cai families and prevent him from embarking on the path of rebellion."
Hearing this, Fu Ciyi immediately became nervous: "What's your plan?"
What Long Chi'an wants is her as a person.
There was no way he was going to let her go.
If Long Chi'an was plotting rebellion, then let him do it. He would take this opportunity to get rid of him.
"My dear husband, I am your wife, in this life and forever." Yan Funing said softly, "What are you afraid of?"
"As a husband, I'm naturally not afraid of anything." Fu Ciyi continued to eat.
"We've already determined that the princess was poisoned while she was pregnant with Long Chi'an. The problem now is that the source of the poison is unknown. It suddenly occurred to me that the Shi family's ancestors also had this ailment. The poison might be in their tomb."
"It's very likely." Fu Ciyi said, "I'll send someone to investigate."
"My dear husband, please wait a minute. We need someone who knows medical skills to check it out."
"Know."

Late at night, Yu Liang arrived at Cai's house and met Cai Mushi.
"Princess Rui will be staying at the Fu Mansion for the next three days."
"Why don't you ask me what I want to do?" Cai Mushi said.
"Ms. Cai must have her own plans. I shouldn't ask about them."
"Very good." Cai Mushi thought for a moment and then asked, "Will Prince Rui stay there with Princess Rui for the next three days?"
"During the day, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is busy with official duties and has no time to accompany the princess, but he will also go to the Fu Mansion at night."
"Okay, I understand." Cai Mushi took out a silver note and gave it to Yu Liang, "This is a reward for you."
Yu Liang thanked him and left.
After he walked away, Cai Mushi took out a dagger from the drawer.
