The lobby at this moment.
Fu Nanyao asked anxiously, "Mother, brother, what do you say? Prince Jin moved out the Concubine Dowager."
"We have a purpose, so we can move to the palace. Safety must be guaranteed, and my people will follow. But in the palace, everyone lives in separate courtyards, which increases the difficulty of ensuring safety." Fu Ciyi said calmly.
Yu Liang was standing at the door of the front hall. He saw Prince Jin coming back from afar and quickly made a gesture to Fu Ciyi.
Fu Ciyi understood and said to his mother, "Mom, he's back. Let's not talk about it for now."
Wan Niang nodded.
Soon, Long Yi stepped into the threshold of the front hall.
"Wanyou, since my mother came to invite me personally, I have to give her this honor."
As he spoke, he looked at Wan Niang, then shifted his gaze to Fu Ciyi.
Wan Niang said, "Your Highness has a great plan. He brought up the Concubine Dowager. How can we refuse?"
"So you agree?" Long Yi asked happily.
"I have a condition." Wan Niang tilted her head slightly.
"Please go ahead."
"My mother and I have become accustomed to living in this mansion, especially since there are no extra people around. The palace seems to occupy a large area. I wonder if Your Highness can make room for it, like the Fu Mansion?"
"That's easy." Long Yifu sat down again. "I'll have someone build a low wall around your yard so others can't come and disturb you. How do you do that?"
Hearing that her eldest son had no intention of objecting, Wan Niang nodded and said, "That's feasible."
Long Yi pondered and said, "You are my princess, and the courtyard you live in must not be compromised. Nan Yao and Bei Mo are not young anymore, they should each have their own courtyard. Wen Yu is now the Prime Minister, and I believe he is busy with official duties, so he should have a good study. In this case, they should live in a larger courtyard. When the time comes, I will personally arrange it."
"That's good." Wan Niang said again.
"When will we move?" Long Yi asked.
"That depends on when the prince finished building the wall."
"This is easy to handle." Long Yi stood up. "I will make the plans today so that the craftsmen can start construction as soon as possible."
As long as a few courtyards are selected, building the wall will only take a few days.
Wanyou is finally going back to the palace.
"Then I will go back to the palace first. If you have any subsequent requests, please feel free to ask." He had to go back to the palace immediately to make plans personally.
Wan Niang raised her hand: "Butler, please see me off."
Yu Liang said yes and invited Long Yi.
Long Yi was delighted to hear this. This was the first time Wanyou had sent someone to see him off since she returned to Beijing.
Thinking of this, my steps became light and steady.
After he left, Wan Niang asked her eldest son, "Ci Yi, what do you think of what I just asked you to do?"
"Very good." Fu Ciyi thought for a moment and then said, "Mom, I'll tell you in detail later. I'll go talk to him."
After saying that, he chased after him.
At the gate of the mansion, Fu Ciyi caught up with Long Yi.
"Something?" Long Yi raised his eyebrows.
Since Wanyou is not here now, he will not give the brat a good face.
"My mother likes quietness, and so do the three of us siblings. Your Highness, please choose a few courtyards along the palace wall."
"Okay." Long Yi agreed and took another step forward.
I don’t know what the brat’s purpose is, or what he is guarding against, but building the wall like this saves a lot of trouble.
It is indeed possible.
Wanyou's return to the palace is just around the corner.
Fu Ciyi watched him leave the mansion before turning around.
No matter what Long Yi thought of his own requirements, as long as their courtyard was close to the palace wall, it would be safer than living in a courtyard in the center of the palace.
Back in the front hall, Fu Ciyi told his family about his thoughts just now.
Wan Niang nodded: "That's very thoughtful."
Yu Liang paced back and forth several times before mustering up the courage to ask, "The masters have all moved to the palace, what about this old slave?"
Fu Xi also asked: "Yes, sir, we are now nominally guards, so what about us?"
Fu Ciyi said, "Since we are going to build a separate garden within the palace, we need manpower. No one in the palace can be trusted. You will naturally need to go with us to the palace. I will leave some people at the Fu Mansion to look after it and clean it. You can just come back occasionally to check on it."
"That's great, thank you very much, sir!" Yu Liang took the lead in expressing his gratitude.
Fu Ciyi turned to look at his sister and brother: "We are moving to the palace mainly to find out the truth. It can be said that we will not stay in the palace for long, so be prepared."
The siblings said, "Brother, we understand."
Yan Funing asked, "My husband has so many capable people around him. I've been wondering for the past few days, have you sent anyone to investigate the truth behind what happened back then?"
"How could there be nothing?" Fu Ciyi sighed, "After I returned to the capital, I ordered Leng Feng and Leng Ying to investigate."
"What do you mean?" Yan Funing asked again.
Fu Ciyi said, "It's really hard to find the person who poisoned her. They sent people into the palace to investigate secretly, but to no avail. Ling has a motive, but she's not the one who actually poisoned her, which makes things even more complicated."
"Who was the arsonist back then? Have you found out?" Fu Beimo asked.
"Long Yi, he was the one who set the fire." Fu Ciyi said calmly, "On the night of the fire, he had a big fight with my mother."
He will always remember the look of Long Yi watching him and his mother trapped in the sea of fire with cold eyes.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"But brother, he doesn't look like someone who would harm mother and brother." Fu Nanyao frowned, "If that's the case, it would be very dangerous for us to return to the palace."
"That's what I'm currently confused about. He even rebuilt a courtyard in the palace that was built before the fire, and he often stays there, never leaving." Fu Ciyi said, "So I plan to investigate it myself. Since he wants us to move back, I'll take this opportunity to find out the truth."
"I don't remember anything about the fire," Wan Niang said worriedly. "If we go back like this, it's like going back into a dangerous place. Ci Yi, it's okay for me, but you have to ensure the safety of Fu Ning, Nan Yao, and Bei Mo!"
"Mother, just as Ningning said, there are many capable people around my son who will ensure everyone's safety."
Besides, he is no longer the same person he was at five years old.
You can take Long Yi’s life at any time!
After that, he added, "Mom, I still have some official business to attend to, so you two can chat."
He went to the study on the pretext of having official business to attend to.
Yan Funing guessed that he must be feeling very uncomfortable, so she said to her mother-in-law, "Mother, I will help my husband grind the ink."
"Okay, official business is important." Wan Niang nodded and slowly rubbed her eye sockets with her hands.
Outside the front hall, Yan Funing caught up with Fu Ciyi.
"Mother doesn't remember what happened more than ten years ago, but you do. I feel really bad for you facing a life-or-death situation at such a young age. Husband, if you have anything weighing on your mind, you can tell me. We are husband and wife."
The man stopped and looked into her eyes with a smile: "I like you to bite me."
"you?"
"You can bite it any way you want." He added.
"Fu Ciyi, can you please be serious?" Yan Funing sighed deeply. "I thought you were upset and wanted to come and talk to you, but you teased me."
"Did you understand what I meant?"
"What do you mean?" She played dumb.
How could she not understand his increasingly perverse thoughts?
I just don't want to admit it.
The man pulled her hand and said sadly, "It's a fact that the father wants to kill his son."
