Fu Ciyi nodded in response to what he said.
Yan Xinghe stood up and got out of the car.
The two carriages went their separate ways.
Although the carriages were heading in different directions, their goals were the same.
Yan Funing asked in a low voice, "I feel like you and my second brother have reached some kind of tacit understanding."
"Why do you think so?" Fu Ciyi smiled slightly.
"He called you Long Wenyu, and all the meaning was implied in his words."
Fu Ciyi nodded: "It's true that talking to smart people is not tiring at all."
Smart people don't need to speak very clearly, as long as they understand what each other wants to express.
"Does my husband have the same intention?"
"Ningning also heard it?" he asked leisurely.
Yan Funing feigned anger: "You said that you and my second brother are smart, but I'm not very smart, right?"
"How dare I?" Fu Ciyi said gently, "Just tell me."
"My second brother said that the Yan family will fully support you, and the Yan family has always supported the royal orthodoxy. Mother is the principal wife, and you were previously the crown prince. In the eyes of the Yan family, you are the legitimate son of the Prince of Jin, and now the legitimate son of the new emperor. My second brother meant to ask you if you are interested in becoming the crown prince and if you want to become the emperor in the future. If you do, the Yan family will support you."
"That's what I mean." Fu Ciyi asked, "Do you want me to be the one?"
"At this critical juncture, it's not a question of whether I want to or not. I used to enjoy a comfortable, pastoral life, but the reality is this. And with your current status, if you don't fight for it, someone will want to kill you."
Fu Ciyi sighed: "How can I put it? The Yan family is really smart."
"You're so talkative." She shook her head.
He added: "Whether it's investigating the truth of the past or fighting with my brothers, many people want my life, not only my life, but yours as well."
"Definitely." She nodded.
He gripped her shoulders and asked solemnly, "Ningning, from today on, you will embark on a different path with me. This path is full of thorns and bumps, like a volcano and a sea of knives, full of dangers and obstacles. Are you willing?"
Yan Funing stared closely into his deep eyes and said word by word, "As long as I'm with you, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, flowers will bloom. Let's forge ahead, and the future will be a sea of stars."
--
The news of the emperor's death and the succession of Prince Jin to the throne reached the eldest princess, who asked them to go to the palace to pay their respects early in the morning.
Long Chi'an, who had gone to bed early at night, was so shocked by the news that he got out of bed and coughed non-stop.
Upon hearing the noise, Mr. Ding, who lived in the next room, hurried into his master's room.
"My Lord, how are you?"
He took out the medicine bag and gave it to Long Chi'an to smell.
Long Chi'an tightly grasped the medicine bag, took a few deep breaths, and said in a hoarse voice, "My uncle passed the throne to Prince Jin."
"Ah?" Old Ding was shocked.
At the same time, Long Shuyun and Shi Yu also learned the news and got up quickly.
It was already early morning, and the family of three gathered in Long Chi'an's study.
Long Shuyun wiped away tears: "Why did my royal brother leave so suddenly?"
Her Princess's Mansion didn't even receive the news.
"Yeah, wasn't everything fine the day before?" Shi Yu frowned.
"Also, why did the throne pass to Long Yi?" Long Shuyun was puzzled. "My brother has so many princes. Even if the crown prince was deposed, Long Yi shouldn't be the one to succeed him. Long Yi is his younger brother, a member of the same generation."
Shi Yu also said: "The Second and Third Princes are very popular. I thought it would be at least one of them."
Long Chi'an remained silent.
At this time, Shadow Five and Shadow Seven came to report.
Ying Qi said, "The Queen Mother sent word that the Emperor meant that our prince, being a descendant of the Shi family, could not inherit the throne. The Queen Mother also asked the Prince of Jin to give up the throne, but he refused. Before he officially ascended the throne, he had already called himself "Zhen" in front of the Queen Mother."
Shi Yu clenched his fist: "This is too much!"
Ying Wu reported softly, "Tonight, Long Feng and Long Yaodong plotted rebellion, and blood flowed like a river at the palace gate. Anyone who attempts to stir up trouble at this time will likely face the same fate as the Long Feng lineage. It's said this was an imperial decree issued by the Emperor during his lifetime, ordering the Prime Minister to carry out this act."
Hearing this, Long Shuyun sighed deeply and said angrily, "Royal brother, you've gone to such lengths to pave the way for Long Yi, but why don't you do the same for us, Chi An?"
"Father, mother, there's no need to say more." Long Chi'an coughed non-stop. "My uncle met me once, and he told me then that because of my status, he couldn't give me the throne."
"It was clearly my brother the Emperor who bestowed the royal surname upon me, yet he just brushed it off with a single sentence?"
The more Long Shuyun thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Both unwillingness and unwillingness to accept the outcome came over me.
Long Chi'an added, "Mother is angry, so am I?"
What made him even more angry was that his uncle actually gave the imperial edict to Fu Ciyi.
Ying Qi added, "There's another piece of news. The chief eunuch beside the emperor will stay with Fu Ciyi from now on."
"The Chief Eunuch isn't serving the new emperor, but instead is serving his son?" Long Shuyun raised his voice. "How can this be justified?"
"Uncle is optimistic about Long Wenyu."
Compared to his nephew, the uncle is more optimistic about his nephew Long Wenyu.
He remembered that his uncle had told him before he left that he shouldn't have any desire for Fu Ning.
Suddenly, a mouthful of fishy and sweet taste came up, and Long Chi'an couldn't hold it back any longer.
puff--
Spit out a mouthful of blood.
"son!"
Long Shuyun and Shi Yu were terrified.
The couple both hugged Long Chi'an in their arms, and Old Ding hurried over to examine him.
"The prince is anxious and needs to rest."
Long Shuyun turned around and instructed Ying Wu and Ying Qi, "Spread the word that Prince Chi collapsed due to a heart attack caused by the death of the Emperor's uncle."
