"He's nothing but a spy from Northern Qi."
"Since he looks familiar, it means he has been in the palace for a long time. My husband, this matter must be taken seriously."
"It should be quite a few years."
"Anyone who enters the palace will have their family background checked to see if they are clean. Therefore, it is very difficult for people from Beiqi to enter the Dajing Palace. This is unless they have been planning for several years, or even more than ten years."
"Well, you don't have to worry about this. I've sent someone to investigate." Fu Ciyi gently put her down and asked, "Do you want me to wash you?"
"No need."
After returning home in the afternoon, her body was extremely sticky. He had helped her wash it at that time. It was only a few hours later, so a quick wash would be enough.
The key point was that in the afternoon, while I was washing, he wanted it again.
She is about to be ruined.
Never let it happen again at night.
Fu Ciyi insisted: "I'll do it."
Yan Funing glared at him warily, warning him fiercely, "You don't want me to run back to my parents' home, do you?"
"You're the first person in the world to flee back to your parents' home because of this. People who don't know the truth will think we're married, which isn't very appropriate. Some people will try to take advantage of the situation, so Ningning should be more rational."
The Yan family would naturally know the real reason, but they were afraid that his three uncles would blame him for it.
Yan Funing thought for a moment and said, "You can help me wash, but you can't do it again tonight. If you do it again, I will definitely be completely ruined."
Her delicate voice was filled with mournful pleading, and her watery eyes were fixed on him.
"Husband, promise me, okay?"
"I'm not an unrestrained beast." He gently helped her undress. "How about me during your menstrual period?"
Yan Funing recalled and said truthfully: "Very gentleman."
"That's right, be good, you still need to apply the medicine later."
"Yeah." She nodded in agreement.
Fu Ciyi kissed her on the forehead.
He was in a very happy mood. Such a well-behaved and gentle woman was his. Some people might as well be jealous of her.
--
The next morning.
The couple was having breakfast in the outer room when Leng Ying hurried in to report.
"Your Highness, our people are a step too late. The young eunuch is no longer in the palace. Judging from the traces at the scene, it is very likely that his body has been destroyed."
"No evidence after death?" Yan Funing frowned. "The people of Beiqi are really quick."
"It's not like there's no evidence. As long as someone has done something in the palace, there will always be clues left behind." Fu Ciyi said calmly.
Yan Funing looked at Leng Ying and asked, "Have you found out how that young eunuch managed to evade the household registration background check and enter the palace?"
"I have checked the backgrounds of all the eunuchs and found nothing wrong. Could it be that they were temporarily bribed by the people of Beiqi?" Leng Ying guessed.
"It wasn't a temporary bribe." Fu Ciyi said indifferently, "A few years ago, there were severe floods, not only in Dajing, but also in Beiqi. People were displaced. If the Beiqi royal family had selected a group of children to serve as refugees and enter Dajing, and they were adopted by the people of Dajing..."
Before he finished speaking, he looked at his wife with clear eyes.
Yan Funing continued, "Some adopters sold these children to the imperial palace to become eunuchs for money?"
Fu Ciyi nodded. "Well, that way their household registration background is clean. And these people will never reveal themselves on a normal day. They will wait for the real master to arrive and act as soon as they receive the order. If they fail, they will also have their own way of dealing with it."
Leng Ying sighed: "No different from a dead soldier."
Even more reckless than them.
Fu Ciyi said, "I asked you to investigate yesterday in the hope that you could find some clues."
He had anticipated the situation he encountered today yesterday.
After a slight pause, he ordered: "For now, we will not investigate further, so as not to alert the enemy. The marriage between Beiqi and Dajing must continue."
"Yes, Your Highness." Leng Ying responded.
Yan Funing asked directly, "My husband said we have to continue. Does that mean he agrees to let Gongsun Man stay in Dajing? My husband knows the purpose of the Beiqi royal family in allowing Gongsun Man to marry."
To be honest, she really didn't want to see Gongsun Man stay in the Dajing royal family.
By then, Gongsun Man will become the consort of the Seventh Prince, and she will be seeing her every day, which is very annoying.
What upset her even more was that such a woman had always been coveting someone, and who knew what shameless things she would do in the future.
If they were to disrupt the Dajing royal family, Gongsun Man might resort to some unforeseen means. What if someone else was implicated?
Leng Ying interrupted, "Your Highness, Princess, the Imperial Observatory has just reported the date of the Seventh Prince and Princess Man's wedding to the Emperor. The Emperor has reviewed it and agreed, and the date will be set for two days later."
"So soon?"
Yan Funing exclaimed, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"It happened so quickly." Leng Ying nodded and said, "The Seventh Prince is now on his way to the inn with gifts."
Fu Ciyi moved his fingers, signaling Leng Ying to leave: "Go down and rest."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Leng Ying clasped his fists and left.
Yan Funing slowly put down her chopsticks: "I know my husband is waiting for Bei Qi to make the first move, but as your wife, I really..."
Fu Ciyi knew her concerns and explained gently, "Don't worry, my husband's body and soul belong to you. I just want to take this opportunity to deal with Long Lihui."
"I see."
Yan Funing finally understood and picked up the chopsticks again.
Not long after the couple finished breakfast, Pang Anmeng and Jin Lingcen arrived.
The four of them sat down in the flower hall and talked.
"Fu Ning, the food you sent has really satisfied my craving." Pang Anmeng held Yan Fu Ning's hand tightly. "Grandmother hasn't let me go out these past few days. She insisted that I take care of the baby. Last night, I begged her so much that she agreed to let me come to the palace."
"If you want to see me in the future, send someone to tell me, and I'll go to the Pang family." Yan Funing gently touched her belly with her other hand. "It's really bigger than the last time I saw it."
"Indeed, my old dresses don't fit me anymore." Pang Anmeng leaned close to Yan Funing's ear and said with a smile, "My bust has increased a lot."
Jin Lingcen coughed and said, "An Meng!"
Pang Anmeng smiled at her husband: "Fu Ning is not an outsider."
Yan Funing covered her lips and giggled.
Jin Lingcen had no choice but to explain awkwardly to Fu Ciyi: "An Meng is just like that. Your Highness, just pretend you didn't hear anything."
Fu Ciyi also felt embarrassed and raised his hand: "How about you, my lord, come with me for a walk outside the flower hall?"
It is better for men not to listen to the women's private words.
"Okay." Jin Lingcen agreed.
"Don't go. I came to the palace today just to ask about the scandalous incident at the imperial palace banquet yesterday." Pang Anmeng's curiosity surged. "Your Highness, Fu Ning, who can tell me?"
She did not attend the palace banquet yesterday.
If she doesn't go, Jin Lingcen won't go either.
I didn't expect to miss such a good show.
"Well, the thing is, Long Lihui and Gongsun Man are going to be married."
"Did many people see it?" Pang Anmeng asked again.
“A lot of people were standing outside watching.”
"What a pity, what a pity, I didn't go." Pang Anmeng lamented repeatedly.
Jin Lingcen couldn't help but shake his head: "An Meng, as a pregnant woman, it's better for you not to join in the fun."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Liang came to report that Meng Li had arrived.
