The lobby at this Nanyao asked anxiously, "Mother, brother, what do you say? Prince Jin moved out the concubine."
"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, so it will be more difficult to ensure safety." Fu Ciyi said in a calm voice.
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 over the threshold of the front hall.
"Wanyou, my mother came to invite you personally, so you 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 Majesty has a really good 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 say."
"We, mother and son, have gotten used to living in this mansion, and we are mainly used to not having any extra people around. The palace should occupy a large area, so I wonder if His Majesty 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 that others can't come and disturb you at will. How do you think that is?"
After 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, so you must not make do with the courtyard you live in. 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 think he is very busy with official duties, so he should have a good study room, so they should live in a bigger courtyard. When the time comes, I will arrange it myself."
"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 plan today, so that the craftsmen can start the work 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'll go back to the palace first. Feel free to ask for any further requests you have." He had to go back to the palace immediately to make plans himself.
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, as 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 walked away, 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 and tell 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 at the moment, he will not give that brat a good face.
"My mother likes quietness, and so do the three of us brothers and sisters. 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 palace gate, then turned around. No matter what Long Yi thought of his request, as long as their courtyard was close to the palace wall, it would be safer than living in the 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 an independent garden in the palace, we need manpower. No one in the palace can be trusted. You will naturally need to go to the palace, and Fu's palace will leave some people to take care of it and clean it. You can come back occasionally to take a look."
"That's great, thank you very much, sir!" Yu Liang took the lead in expressing his gratitude.
Fu Ciyi turned his head 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 live in the palace for long, so you should be mentally prepared."
The siblings said, "Brother, we understand."
Yan Funing asked, "My husband has so many capable people around him. I have been wondering these days, have you sent anyone to investigate the truth of 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 check it out."
"What do you mean?" Yan Funing asked again.
Fu Ciyi said: "It is difficult to find the person who poisoned. They sent people into the palace to investigate secretly but to no avail. Ling has a motive, but he is not the one who actually poisoned. This makes things 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 on Long Yi's face as he and his mother were trapped in the sea of fire.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"But brother, he doesn't look like someone who wants to harm mother and brother." Fu Nanyao frowned, "If that's the case, it will be very dangerous for us to return to the palace."
"This is also what I am confused about now. He even rebuilt a courtyard in the palace before the fire and often stayed in it without leaving the courtyard." Fu Ciyi said, "So I plan to investigate it myself. It just so happens that he wants us to move back, so I will take this opportunity to find out the truth."
"I can't remember anything about the fire." Wan Niang said worriedly, "If we go back like this, it's like going back to 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!"
"Mom, 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 official business to attend to, you two can chat."
He went to the study on the pretext of having official business to attend to.
Yan Funing guessed that he was feeling very uncomfortable, so she said to her mother-in-law, "Mother, I will help my husband grind the ink."
"Okay, official business is more 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 bad for you facing a life-and-death situation at such a young age. Husband, if you have anything 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 said again.
"Fu Ciyi, can you be serious?" Yan Funing sighed, "I thought you were upset and wanted to come and comfort you, but you teased me."
"Did you hear what your husband 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 true that the father wants to kill his son." (End of this chapter)
