Prince Jin raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Long Chi'an, his voice already impatient.
I don't know what this kid was thinking, he actually used these words to deceive people.
He buried the bodies of the princess and her child with his own hands, how could it be fake?
Seeing that Prince Jin didn't believe him, Long Chi'an concealed his anxiety and said slowly, "Uncle, besides that lady who is the same age and looks as my aunt, she also has a son. The lady's son is also the same age as Wen Yu."
Upon hearing this long-lost name, King Jin was stunned for a moment.
Soon he murmured, "Wenyu, Long Wenyu, thank goodness Chi An you still remember him."
Long Chi'an spoke sincerely and earnestly, "Uncle, you know that Wen Yu and I were as close as brothers. How could I forget him when we were so close? Back then, Wen Yu, Gao Zhuo, and I often hung out together. Childhood was always wonderful, and I often thought of Wen Yu in my dreams. After Wen Yu passed away, my relationship with Gao Zhuo became very distant. He was the most important person among the three of us. I used to think that the mother and son in Beijing, my aunt, and Wen Yu were just a coincidence, but I truly hope that they are all alive and well."
After listening to his eloquent speech, King Jin's expression finally relaxed a little.
"Chi An, you are a good child. If Wen Yu were still alive, he would be the same age as you and would be old enough to get married."
King Jin let out a long breath and gulped down the wine in the glass in one gulp.
He just didn't ask him where the lady and her son were.
Long Chi'an frowned, it was obvious that his uncle, Prince Jin, still didn't believe it.
Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle, do you want to go see that mother and son?"
"No need. Why should I bother disturbing the lives of strangers?"
King Jin poured himself a glass of wine and drank it again.
Long Chi'an asked directly, "Uncle, have you ever seen the new number one scholar?"
"I haven't been involved in government affairs for many years. Whether or not someone gets the top spot in the imperial examination is none of my business."
Considering his brotherly love for Wen Yu, his uncle would not chase him away immediately.
Long Chi'an continued, "This newly crowned number one scholar is highly regarded by the Emperor's uncle and is now the Prime Minister. His name is Fu Ciyi, and he is the son of the lady my nephew just mentioned. He is the same age as Wen Yu."
Prince Jin said calmly, "It is a great honor for Dajing that my brother has found such a talented person to serve as his chief minister."
Long Chi'an also took a sip of wine and continued, "The most important thing is that Fu Ciyi's cold personality is similar to that of Long Wenyu when he was young. When the accident happened, he and I were still young. Now that we've grown up, his appearance may be unrecognizable, but the possibility of his personality changing is extremely small."
"Chi An, you don't have to say anything more." Prince Jin placed his wine glass on the table without any hesitation. "You saw Wen Yu's body with your own eyes. Do you really believe your own eyes?"
Long Chi'an smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to pour another glass of wine for King Jin.
He knew very well that if he continued talking at this moment, he would only annoy his uncle.
The only way now is to let my uncle see it with his own eyes so that Fu Ciyi's identity can be revealed.
However, it is not so easy to persuade his uncle to visit the Fu family. He needs to prepare some excuses and must not be impatient at this moment.
Therefore, after finishing the meal, I said goodbye.
King Jin moved his fingers, signaling him to go back to where he came from.
More than an hour later, Long Chi'an returned to the eldest princess.
After returning to the mansion, he went straight into the study. Old Ding had already painted Wan Niang's portrait.
He had to paint a portrait of the young Long Wenyu, and then a portrait of Fu Ciyi in his present state.
When the time comes, I will take it to my uncle, the Prince of Jin. I believe that my uncle will be reminded of her when he sees the portrait. In this way, Fu Ciyi's identity will be revealed to the public.
As a member of the royal family, how can he become the prime minister?
As the son of Prince Jin, he has absolutely no chance of becoming emperor.
By then, Fu Ciyi really couldn't fight him anymore.
Losing the position of Prime Minister means losing power.
Even if Fu Ciyi regained his identity as the son of Prince Jin, the Prince Jin's Mansion now has the Crown Prince Long Lihui, so it would be difficult for Fu Ciyi to regain his position as the Crown Prince.
With such an identity, how could she compete with him for Fu Ning?
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even wider.
When he paints portraits, his work is even more vivid.
He continued painting until nightfall, and the portraits of the young Long Wenyu and the adult Fu Ciyi were both completed.
Picking up the portrait of Madam Fu painted by Mr. Ding, Long Chi'an started writing again. He had to paint Madam Fu again.
Uncle Prince Jin is surrounded by many beauties, and ordinary women are not worthy of his attention.
Mr. Ding's painting is too simple after all. He needs to paint it in more detail.

The night wind is cold.
The Prince's Mansion, where the Prince sleeps.
The prince who fainted today finally woke up at this moment.
There were two women beside him, one was the Crown Princess and the other was Concubine Cai Mushi.
They were overjoyed to see him wake up.
"Your Highness has finally woken up."
"You've been guarding me for so long, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest."
The two women nodded in agreement and left.
Soon, the prince ordered his servants to find his staff.
"Your Highness, please don't be sad. I thought the Emperor was venting his anger about the arm bite." The aide analyzed in a low voice, "If the Emperor was planning to replace the Crown Prince, the punishment would definitely be more severe."
"I know, but that doesn't mean my father didn't have this thought." The prince supported himself on the edge of the bed and sat up. "I can't understand why the second and third brothers, two idiots, would ask for forgiveness."
It was obvious that all three of them had tampered with the horse farm, and one move could implicate the other two.
Everyone knows it tacitly, and no one mentions it. Isn't that good?
"Could it be that His Majesty the Second and Third Princes have found a cunning advisor?"
"I've never heard of it." The Crown Prince shook his head. "If one person fails to do this kind of apology properly, Father will punish them even more severely. If only one person did this, it wouldn't be a big problem for me, but they all did the same thing."
The staff clasped their fists and said, "I'll send someone to investigate."
As soon as he finished speaking, another staff member came in.
"Your Highness, I have already found out that the Second Prince had contact with Master Fu before. They drank in the restaurant and had a pleasant conversation."
Tai Zao heard this and narrowed his eyes: "That makes sense, Fu Ciyi is behind this."
"However, Your Highness, Master Fu has not had any contact with the Third Prince. The Third Prince's actions today are entirely due to the Second Prince's benefit."
"Oh, if that's the case, then the problem becomes even bigger." The prince sneered.
The two staff members were puzzled: "Please explain clearly, Your Highness."
"Lord Fu didn't come to support me, but instead supported the second brother, simply because the second brother is stupid and easy to manipulate." The prince said coldly, laughing. "You should contact the other cabinet ministers and see if you can impeach him together."
If you dare not support him, he will destroy you.
"Yes, Your Highness!"

The winter night is very dark.
Yan Funing took the bottles, jars, and medicine box to the study in the front yard.
In the study, Leng Feng and Leng Ying were already waiting.
Seeing her coming, the two of them quickly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Young Madam."
