Long Chi'an ordered him: "Paint a portrait of Princess Jin."
Elder Ding was puzzled: "The late Princess Jin?"
"Um."
Long Chi'an raised his hand and signaled Mr. Ding to paint.
Mr. Ding recalled the past and started painting.
In just a quarter of an hour, the woman's face appeared on the paper.
The secret guard pointed at the portrait on the paper and exclaimed, "Yes, it's her."
"What's going on?" Mr. Ding put down his pen.
Long Chi'an narrowed his eyes. "When you and I were in Qingshan Town, we never met Fu Ciyi's mother. We should have had the opportunity to meet her, such as when Fu Ciyi was in the middle school of Li Yuan. Now that I think about it, Fu Ciyi recognized you and me early on, and he didn't want to reveal his identity..."
The more Elder Ding listened, the more confused he became. "Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
Long Chi'an raised his hand, signaling the secret guard and Ying Qi to speak.
Ying Qi said, "The prince asked us to check the appearance of Fu Ciyi's mother."
The secret guard said, "This morning I discovered that Fu Ciyi's mother's appearance is exactly the same as what Elder Ding drew."
Upon hearing this, Elder Ding picked up the portrait and examined it carefully. "If there is no one who looks like her in the world, then Lord Fu's mother must be the late Princess Jin?"
"There are people who look alike in the world, but coincidences are rare. Fu's mother's age is exactly the same as the Princess of Jin. The most important thing is that Fu Ciyi is also the same age as the Crown Prince of Jin."
Having said that, Long Chi'an laughed out loud.
"Why are you laughing, Your Highness?" Old Ding frowned. "Many people saw how the Princess of Jin and the Crown Prince burned to charcoal."
Long Chi'an raised his hand and said, "My guess is correct."
"I would like to hear the details."
Although he is an imperial physician, he is Prince Chi's man.
Prince Chi told him such secrets because he trusted him.
Long Chi'an said, "Although the Pang siblings have some dealings with Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing, it's mainly Pang Anmeng who's close to Funing. I was also present at the incident involving the Cai family's daughter at Yingtian Lake. Although Pang Gaozhuo helped to bear witness at that time, his relationship with Fu Ciyi was far from being just friends."
The reason why he paid attention to the Pang brothers and sisters was because Pang Anmeng wanted to match Fu Ning and Pang Gaozhuo from time to time.
Therefore, he has always been paying attention to Pang Gaozhuo's actions.
It seemed as if one day, the relationship between Pang Gaozhuo and Fu Ciyi became like that of close friends.
"When Fu Ciyi got married, Pang Gaozhuo accompanied him to the wedding. In the hunting grounds, they hunted together and were promoted together."
"Pang Gaozhuo has had a good relationship with him since childhood. Now that I think about it, it's because Pang Gaozhuo recognized him a long time ago."
That makes sense.
Elder Ding frowned, "Your Highness's speculation is not without reason. I believe this matter needs further confirmation."
“Confirmation is necessary.”
Long Chi'an suddenly laughed, then started coughing violently, unable to stop for a while.
"Your Majesty?"
Old Ding quickly took out the medicine bag and asked him to smell it.
"I'm sure Elder Ding is very clear about the relationship between the Yan family and the Prince of Jin's Mansion."
Long Chi'an kept coughing, but a smile remained on his face.
Ding Laodao said: "Of course I know that the Prince of Jin originally had the opportunity to sit on the throne, all because the Yan family supported the current emperor, that's why..."
It can be said that the Prince of Jin's Mansion and the Duke of Guo's Mansion became mortal enemies.
Long Chi'an nodded: "I must tell this to my uncle, the Prince of Jin."
Elder Ding lowered his voice and speculated, "If Master Fu is really the Prince of Jin, then the marriage between the Prince of Jin's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion will be impossible. Then, will Second Miss Yan be able to return to the Prince's side?"
After all, Prince Chi and Miss Yan were originally engaged.
"Uncle Jin Wang never goes out, so I must find a reason to go see him."
Long Chi'an picked up the medicine juice that had already gone cold on the desk and drank it all in one breath.
"If things go smoothly, the prince's illness will no longer be a disease." Old Ding was overjoyed.
As long as Miss Yan is by Prince Chi's side and her illness disappears, the kingdom of Dajing will belong to the prince from now on.
As an imperial physician, he was naturally proud of this.
Long Chi'an said, "Before going to Prince Jin's Mansion, I have to see Fu Ciyi's mother with my own eyes."
"Your Highness, the Fu family is heavily guarded. The only way to see them is to climb over the wall." Ying Qi said, "That would be beneath your dignity."
"What's the point of status?" Old Ding scolded. "What does climbing over the wall to take a peek have to do with status?"
"Yes, yes, it's okay." Ying Qi quickly changed his words.
--
That day, in the evening.
The second prince hosted a party and invited Fu Ciyi to drink.
In the restaurant's private room, amidst the clinking of glasses, the Second Prince said, "Master Fu is a favorite of the Emperor. I have a question for you."
If he is willing to offer an idea, it means that you are willing to support him.
Especially now that the relationship between the Crown Prince and Fu Ciyi seems a bit strained, whoever can get some support from the Prime Minister of the Cabinet will have a much greater chance of becoming the crown prince in the future.
"Please speak, Your Highness." Fu Ciyi said in a light voice.
The Second Prince pondered over it several times before asking directly, "How can I get Father to pay more attention to me?"
Fu Ciyi picked up the wine cup but didn't drink. He said in a steady voice, "Second Prince, why don't you try to apologize?"
"Voluntarily apologise?" The Second Prince frowned. "Where do I come from?"
"I don't know about that. Your Highness, please think about it carefully."
"Okay, I'll think about it." The Second Prince said, raising his hand to let the women who followed him come forward, "Why don't you serve Master Fu a drink?"
Fu Ciyi raised his hand to refuse, his voice cold: "No need, my wife is waiting for me at home, please do as you please, Second Prince. Goodbye."
"Okay, okay, Lord Fu, take care." The second prince personally escorted the person out of the private room.
The women came to the second prince's side, and as he was surrounded by women, he began to think about which crime he should be blamed for.
I couldn't make a decision for a moment and began to regret not asking Fu Ciyi more.
It was still early when Fu Ciyi returned home.
Yan Funing was surprised: "You came back faster from this social event than from your previous social events at the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Why do I feel like there's something else behind what my wife said?"
"There's something hidden in your words. Back then, you and I were still husband and wife. You went to the Cai family for a social event and always came back late. Now I get angry when I think about it."
Fu Ciyi smiled faintly and kissed her forehead: "It's because the Cai family is difficult to deal with."
"You reek of alcohol." Yan Funing pushed him away. "The Cai family is indeed difficult to deal with."
Turning to sort out the freshly prepared medicine on the table, he continued, "I heard that Cai Mushi entered the Crown Prince's residence yesterday and officially became a concubine. Speaking of which, this woman is quite capable. After the incident with Dong Kuang, she can now become the Crown Prince's concubine. Her goal is to squeeze out the Crown Prince's wife and become the principal wife herself, right?"
"That's about right."
Fu Ciyi took off his cloak and hung it on the rack. He looked at the bottles and jars on the table and reached out to take each one to play with.
Yan Funing took the small jade bottle back from him: "These are medicines for Leng Feng and Leng Ying. Their scars are too deep, so they need a lot of medicine."
"Thank you for your hard work, my lady."
Yan Funing sighed: "I guess Cai Mushi's purpose in doing this is to wait for the prince to ascend the throne so that he can deal with you and me."
It's really troublesome to get involved with such a difficult woman.
