Yan Funing speculated: "Could it be that the emperor is disappointed with Prime Minister Cai?"Fu Ciyi also had this guess, but still asked: "Why do you think so?" "Sir, could you tell me in detail what happened during the morning court session that day?" "can." Fu Ciyi not only talked about what happened during the morning court session, but also about what happened that night when the clerk delivered the treasure. "From the emperor's perspective, the imperial power is naturally supreme." Yan Funing bent down and took out a string of pearl necklaces from the box, wrapped them around her hand, and slowly stroked the smooth surface of the beads with her other hand. "My lord is thoughtful, I think he has already guessed it." "I want to hear you say it. Speak now. I'm all ears." Fu Ciyi glanced sideways. Her skin was so fair and smooth, even more pleasing to the eye than pearls. Yan Funing smiled and said, "Then I will show off my skills in front of you, sir." Fu Ciyi raised his hand, motioning for her to speak. Yan Funing said slowly: "Cai Tingzhou is both the prime minister and the chief minister of the cabinet. He holds great power."

"The emperor originally entrusted him with an important task, but now Cai Tingzhou did not educate his son strictly, and his relatives sold official positions and titles. When the emperor found out, he stripped him of his position as the chief minister of the cabinet, but he was still not satisfied, so he gave you two boxes of jewels." "Cai Tingzhou lost his power and his wealth, which was a double pain." "This is just a superficial matter." Yan Funing raised her beautiful eyes, "I'm afraid there are deeper reasons." Fu Ciyi heard this and smiled: "Do you know why I want to marry you?" It's because she has courage and wisdom that other women don't have. This is one of them. As for the second one, deep down I want to marry her. It seems that not getting married would be a regret in this life. Yan Funing glared at him: "Why are you talking about this again?" The man raised his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about whether to marry her for now, you continue to analyze." "The emperor has been in high office for decades. How could he not know what ordinary ministers know?" Yan Funing said solemnly, "I guess the emperor wants Prime Minister Cai to remember this pain." "Now the emperor is using you to teach Prime Minister Cai a lesson. It is very likely that the emperor will reuse Prime Minister Cai in the future." "If the emperor really wanted to depose Cai Tingzhou, why did he keep him as prime minister?" "What's more, if the emperor wants to know whether Cai Tingzhou has any other guilt, he can just order someone to investigate." "I am afraid that in the future, the emperor will need to use Prime Minister Cai again." Fu Ciyi nodded and clapped his hands: "My wife is smart." The girl in front of me is a little stupid when it comes to love matters, but she can see through everything else at a glance. "Don't interrupt!" Yan Funing grabbed his arm and said, "Seriously, if Master Fu wants to be the Prime Minister, in my opinion, he should be wary of Cai Tingzhou." "Of course I have to be on guard. If I make him fall, how could he let me go?" Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Don't worry, at least he won't dare to do anything rash in the near future."

"Your Excellency must improve your position and become more powerful than Cai Tingzhou, then you will be safe." After a slight pause, she raised a finger, pointed it at his face, and warned him fiercely, "Don't use my Yan family as a springboard!" The man held her hand, including the raised finger, in his palm, and said tenderly, "Don't worry." Yan Funing pulled her hand away and threw the pearl necklace wrapped around her hand twice into the box: "Okay, now that I've looked at the jewelry, it's time for me to look at Nan Yao's legs." "Nan Yao's legs are fine, you and I can go over in a while." Fu Ciyi took out a ruby ​​bracelet and put it on her wrist, his voice cold, "You go pick some first." Yan Funing took off her ruby ​​bracelet and placed it in the man's palm: "I really don't want it." The man said to himself: "Okay, when you and I get married, what's mine will be yours." "Fu Ciyi, let me make it clear to you, I will try my best to reject Long Chi'an's marriage proposal." She said frankly, "That's because I don't want to marry him in the first place." During this period of time, she has been thinking about the reasons and strategies for rejecting the marriage proposal. It doesn't mean that after rejecting the arranged marriage with Long Chi'an, she had to choose Fu Ciyi. As for agreeing to marry Fu Ciyi, it was because she had agreed to it before. A man should keep his word. The man nodded: "I understand. If I want to marry you, I need the emperor's blessing." Yan Funing was shocked when she heard this: "Do you know what I'm thinking?" Fu Ciyi tapped her forehead and said, "With your brain, how could I not guess it?" Yan Funing slapped his hand away and walked out: "I'm going to see Nan Yao." The man followed slowly. On the way, Yan Funing saw Li Xinheng and Meng Li fighting in the front yard, and a doubt suddenly crossed her mind, so she asked: "Xinheng was injured and came to the Duke's Mansion. Was it your instruction?" "Yes." Fu Ciyi admitted, "His skills have improved, mainly because he is big. If he follows you, bad guys will see him from a distance, which can also be a deterrent." Hearing this, Yan Funing pursed her lips and smiled. Soon, the two arrived at Fu Nanyao's yard. Before they entered the house, they heard a woman's laughter coming from inside. Caiyu was seen dancing and talking: "The roof collapsed all of a sudden, and nine people including the son-in-law and the young lady fell into Cai Mushi and Dong Kuang's room. The two people on the bed were so scared that they kept screaming." Fu Nanyao smiled with tears in her eyes: "Dong, you deserve it!" Fu Beimo said: "The man surnamed Dong has his hands and feet broken. It is said that he was beaten in the brothel." "Serves you right!" Wan Niang also sneered. Seeing his brother and sister-in-law come in, Fu Nanyao moved on the couch: "Brother, do you know who beat Dong Kuang?" Fu Ciyi said in a calm voice: "How would I know?" Fu Nanyao looked at Yan Funing and said, "Sister-in-law, did you say that the one who beat Dong Kuang was my brother?" "No." Yan Funing glanced at the person who did it and said calmly, "If your brother had taken action, he would have definitely beaten Dong Kuang to death." "That's true." Fu Nanyao murmured, "My brother can't do anything. His official position is more important."

Wan Niang nodded: "Nan Yao has grown up." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand in the direction of Yan Funing's voice: "Funing, you haven't come to see me for a while." Yan Funing placed her hand on Wan Niang's palm and said softly, "Mom, I'm busy with the business on East Third Street." Wan Niang smiled and patted the back of her hand: "I know, I know. Nan Yao and I ate the cakes you sent over. They were delicious." Yan Funing was surprised when she heard this. She looked at Fu Ciyi with doubtful eyes, and in just a moment, she understood. He had not yet told them that she was betrothed to Long Chi'an. In the meantime, he often bought cakes and pretended that they were sent by her. After learning so many things today, I suddenly feel uncomfortable. Fu Nanyao asked Lvliu to help move the injured leg, and said to Yan Funing: "Sister-in-law, there are threads falling out of the wound in the past two days, can you help me take a look." Yan Funing then turned around and lifted the thin blanket on Fu Nanyao's legs, revealing her calves. There were indeed a few small threads exposed. "This is normal, don't worry." She pinched her leg with skillful force, "You are recovering well, just keep going." "I can hold on." Fu Nanyao said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, my brother got two boxes of jewelry, go and pick them out quickly." Fu Ciyi sighed: "I asked her to choose, but she didn't want it." (End of this chapter)
