The couple nodded.
After chatting with Concubine Yun for a while, Fu Ciyi said goodbye: "It's getting late, we should leave."
Concubine Yun nodded gently: "It is true that we cannot stay in the cold palace for too long. It is better for you to leave quickly."
Especially at this critical juncture.
If Wen Yu wants to be the crown prince, he must not let anyone catch him making any mistakes.
"Empress Dowager, shall we leave then?" Yan Funing asked.
Concubine Yun finally took her hand and patted it gently: "Good child, let's go."
Yan Funing nodded and followed Fu Ciyi away.
To prevent others in the cold palace from seeing them, as soon as the two of them left the room, Fu Ciyi put his arm around Yan Funing's waist and flew directly out of the high wall.
It fell to the ground in a moment.
He smoothed her fur collar, brushed the snow off her hair, and asked gently, "When we got in the carriage today, you said I was useful to you. But you didn't say anything more. Do you think you saw me in your dream?"
"Did I really say that?" Yan Funing covered her mouth.
Seeing her panic, Fu Ciyi grabbed her hand and looked at her seriously.
"Well, tell me."
"I..." Yan Funing bit her lips.
Seeing her expression of fear and her body trembling slightly, he felt that the dream was not that simple, so he asked again: "Is the terrible thing in the dream related to me?"
"Husband, please don't ask."
Yan Funing's voice was filled with tears.
"Okay, I won't ask. Let's talk about something else."
She changed the subject: "Concubine Yun has been living in the cold palace for too long. Can you please let her out? Can you ask the new emperor to issue an order?"
"That won't work. Long Yi is a cold-blooded man, and Concubine Yun is a complete stranger to him. How could he easily issue an order just for a stranger? Furthermore, he has just inherited the throne and has not yet ascended it, so dignity is of utmost importance."
"I understand. Do I have to wait until you ascend to that position before I can release Concubine Yun from the cold palace?"
It's too far away.
How old was Concubine Yun at that time?
When she thought of this, she thought of her uncle. Although she didn't have many opportunities to communicate with her uncle, she had seen his changes.
He is actually quite kind.
He told her more than once that he shouldn't interfere with her marriage with Fu Ciyi and asked her not to blame him.
There are very few emperors in the world who can say such words.
In addition, she didn't get enough sleep, and in her dream she recalled her tragic death in her previous life, and how Fu Ciyi raped her.
With all these heavy burdens added together, she wanted to cry.
Suddenly tears began to fall.
Wipe it off quickly.
Fu Ciyi noticed it and gently wiped her tears. After all, they were in the palace, and some things were inconvenient to say or ask.
When the couple arrived in front of the former dynasty's mourning hall, Fu Ciyi was stopped by Long Yi and went to talk aside.
Yan Funing went alone to kowtow to her uncle.
As she kowtowed, her tears fell again.
Suddenly I heard someone say to her, "I don't know why she's crying."
"that is."
"Perhaps she shed tears because she thought about herself as a daughter of the Yan family. The new emperor hates the Yan family the most. She will definitely be separated from her husband by then."
Yan Funing turned her head away.
She could tell that the people who spoke were Long Yi's daughters-in-law.
Two of them are considered her sisters-in-law, and the other is considered her brother's sister-in-law.
She couldn't figure out who they were with, because although they lived in the Prince of Jin's Mansion, she had only seen them a few times, let alone talked to them.
But at this moment, she could not bear their sarcasm and ridicule. She immediately stood up and asked, "Shouldn't I cry when my uncle passes away?"
The three women were choked by the question.
One of them quickly whispered, "You're being hypocritical. You must be crying about losing your status as a prince's consort."
"My marriage to my husband was arranged by my uncle. According to you, will my father annul the imperial decree granting my husband the marriage? Or will my father allow me to divorce my husband?"
"Divorced, definitely divorced." said another woman.
"Then we'll wait and see." Yan Funing said calmly, "I cried just now because my uncle loved me. My husband and I stayed with him until he passed away. Of course, you won't understand the love the emperor had for his younger generation in his dying moments."
The three women looked at each other.
I couldn't answer the call for a while.
Outside the mourning hall, in a quiet place.
Long Yi directly asked Fu Ciyi: "Your uncle asked you to purge the Long Yaodong lineage of Longfeng. Has there been any result?"
"They were basically cleared out, except for Cai Tingzhou who traded the concubine's daughter's life for the legitimate daughter's. The main reason was that the names were not written on the document, which gave Cai Tingzhou an opportunity to exploit the situation."
"Women's affairs are trivial, just clear them up."
"If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first." Fu Ciyi bowed.
Hearing him call him like that, Long Yi finally smiled, but he still said forcefully: "With your current status, the position of Prime Minister should be resigned."
"yes."
Fu Ciyi clenched his back teeth.
Long Yi said, "You are a prince, and a prince cannot serve as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Since I have not yet officially ascended the throne, you will retain the position of Prime Minister."
After all, I am the new emperor and his father.
How could the chief minister of a cabinet be his son?
As an emperor, does he need his son to assist him?
"Yes." Fu Ciyi responded again.
What Long Yi meant was that after his coronation ceremony, he would no longer be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
I'm afraid I can't even stay in the cabinet.
Long Yi was very pleased to see that he had become obedient, and waved his hand to let him leave.
At this time, Yan Funing walked out of the palace.
Fu Ciyi came looking for her, and the couple left the palace together.
Arriving in her own carriage, Yan Funing could no longer suppress her annoyance: "There were three women just now, probably your sister-in-law and brother-in-law. What they said made me angry."
"say what?"
"She said my crying was fake, and that we would separate again, and this time it wouldn't be a peaceful separation, but that you would be forced to divorce me."
"Won't."
Fu Ciyi held her hand.
As long as he behaved a little more obediently, Long Yi would not interfere with their marriage.
Yan Funing sat sideways, staring straight at him: "If the new emperor really ordered to separate us, my husband, what would you do?"
"No one can separate us, including Long Yi. If he really dares to issue an order, I will rebel!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Yan Funing quickly covered his mouth.
"You don't want to live anymore?"
Fu Ciyi gently took her hand away and said solemnly, word by word, "If you are not a part of my life, then what is the meaning of living?"
Hearing this, Yan Funing's eyes were filled with warmth: "Husband."
She shouted and threw herself into his arms.
Soon tears began to fall again.
"Ningning, can you tell me what you dreamed about?"
"This is a long story, are you willing to listen?"
Fu Ciyi nodded gently: "Of course I am willing."
"I often have dreams, and the things in my dreams are very scary. The dream is basically set in the Fu Mansion. In the dream, the Fu Mansion is your villa, which was given to you by the emperor after you won the first place in the imperial examination. Now I think this emperor is our uncle."
