The Empress Dowager was filled with rage, but she had no choice but to bend her knees and kneel down.
"Welcome, sister."
"Get up quickly." The Empress Dowager smiled. "I am tired too. I will go back."
The Empress Dowager stood up on her knees and looked at the old woman with hatred as she left, her eyes flashing with cruelty.
Returning to the bedroom, he sent away the people in the palace, summoned his confidant, and whispered, "The old woman has lived too long. The food I feed her every day..."
The confidant listened carefully and nodded repeatedly.
--
Although the weather is cold, the sun is shining brightly.
When Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion, Eunuch Song was already waiting there with the servants.
Everyone greeted them and shouted in unison: "Welcome back to the palace, His Royal Highness the Third Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince's wife!"
Fu Ciyi raised his hand: "Everyone, get up."
Eunuch Song swept his whisk and stepped forward with a smile. "My two masters, everything in the courtyard has been cleaned. Would you like to go to the main courtyard first, or take a walk around the entire mansion?"
"Go straight in, look around as you walk, and go to the main courtyard." Fu Ciyi gave the order.
The couple walked in front and everyone followed behind.
"Eunuch Song, there's no need to do this. We can just take a walk." Fu Ciyi said.
"I will escort the two masters to the main courtyard first, and then you can do as you please."
"Okay."
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Yan Funing saw a huge bathtub in the bathroom behind the bedroom.
There is a bed and a lounge chair in the bath, both made of stone.
The water surface sloshes over the bed and lounge chair.
Both the bed and the recliner have armrests.
Fu Ciyi waved everyone away and slowly walked to her side: "Let's get straight to the point?"
Yan Funing turned around with a smile and glared at him coquettishly: "What's the topic?"
"The theme of intimacy." Fu Ciyi said jokingly, "I didn't even look at the bedroom all the way here. I came straight here."
"Didn't you say the new house had a big bath?"
"Yeah, so I can't wait?"
"You were so impatient that you even cut me open. It hurts."
"You have to adapt. Your husband may not be so gentle."
"You!? We had an agreement beforehand."
She poked him with her finger, but he caught her hand.
The man said gently, "What I mean is that if I lose control of myself and accidentally hurt you, I will blame myself and you will feel bad too."
It was true that he couldn't wait, but he was willing to wait.
Very satisfied with the bathroom, Yan Funing blushed and pulled him to the bedroom to take a look.
The bed is huge.
When the bed curtains were drawn, the bed became a small room.
The entire bedroom was decorated luxuriously and comfortably, and Yan Funing was also satisfied: "Did Eunuch Song order someone to decorate it?"
"He is an old man beside the Emperor's uncle, and he understands these things very well."
"What do you know very well?"
"I know how to decorate the master's room. What are you thinking?"
"Where am I going? That's obviously where you're going, isn't it?" Yan Funing raised her eyes to look at him. "Fu Ciyi, I've noticed that you've been smiling constantly since we moved into our new home. Tell me, what are you thinking about?"
The man hugged her soft body and whispered in her ear, "Didn't we agree that we would live in the new house and you would give birth to a child for me?"
Yan Funing was startled: "I..."
"Don't want to?"
He lowered his head so that his eyes were level with hers.
"I'm not unwilling."
"Are you willing?" He suppressed the joy in his heart.
"I don't particularly want to."
Her head drooped even lower.
Hearing this, the man said dejectedly, "I understand."
"No, you don't know." Yan Funing raised her little face, "I am willing to have a child with you, but I am afraid that after I get pregnant, the murderer will kill me, and then we will be separated by life and death."
Fu Ciyi hugged her tightly: "Yes, why didn't I think of this? It's my fault."
They are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark.
They didn't need to worry about moving. Thinking that today was the second day of the first lunar month, Yan Funing suggested, "I should go back to my parents' home at noon. Will you accompany me?"
"good."
Fu Ciyi agreed and ordered Eunuch Song to prepare gifts, and the couple went to Yan's house.
It was almost noon when they arrived at Yan's house.
Yan Xinghe, who was in the front yard, was surprised to see them coming. "Didn't you say you would come in the evening?"
"Ningning wanted to come, so we came." Fu Ciyi said.
"Did the move go smoothly?"
After asking, Yan Xinghe took his sister and brother-in-law to the South Garden, and asked the people around him to go to the East Garden to call his grandfather.
"Of course it went smoothly. We didn't have to do anything at all." Yan Funing looked towards the South Garden. "Have my sisters come today?"
"Here they are! The kids are setting off firecrackers. You better be careful later."
As the three of them talked, they entered the South Garden.
As soon as Yan Cheng saw Fu Ciyi, he took him to a secluded corner to talk.
"I heard from Xinghe that your position as Prime Minister was removed today?"
"Yes, father-in-law."
"You keep a low profile these days."
"I understand."
"How is the investigation going on?"
"Originally, my uncle was supposed to arrive in Beijing before the end of the year. However, he missed the trip due to heavy snow and mountain closures. I'm afraid it will take some time for him to arrive. I hope he will know some clues by then." Fu Ciyi said frankly.
I wonder if my uncle knows anything.
It would be best if you knew.
My uncle will then be a witness, so hopefully the truth will be revealed closer and closer.
Yan Cheng nodded and asked softly, "Does he know that your uncle is coming to Beijing?"
"I don't know. I used the secret decree of the late emperor."
"Very good."
Not far away, Yuen Long was holding a small firecracker in one hand and a stick of incense in the other, setting off firecrackers with a grin on his face.
