Chapter 728 Royal Secrets Yan Funing chuckled: "Have you seen it?""I saw it. He was taking a shower in the room. I accidentally walked in and saw it. Fu Ning, I tell you, it would be better if I hadn't seen it." "Why?" "That guy's abdominal muscles are white, just one." Pang Anmeng raised a finger and shook his head, "Not as good as me. I have four abdominal muscles. Fu Ning, do you want to touch them?" Yan Funing chuckled: "My hands are stained with medicine foam, so I won't touch it." "You can touch it another day." Pang Anmeng said this and looked down at his chest. Then he looked at Yan Funing who was sitting opposite him and saw that her chest was bulging. It's true that when you compare yourself to others, you feel inferior. I couldn't help but want to find some confidence, so I asked: "Fu Ning, do you have abdominal muscles?" "Where did I get those abdominal muscles?" Yan Funing smiled and shook her head. "When Fu Ciyi and I first got married, he ordered me to do exercises and horse stance every day, but unfortunately I didn't stick to it." - At this moment in the Fu Mansion, in the main courtyard bedroom.

Fu Ciyi realized that his pants were wet and woke up suddenly. His handsome face and ears turned red instantly. He quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Sit in the bathtub and bang your forehead with your fists. The scene in the dream was hazy yet clear. The combination of reality and unreality made him very irritated, but also inexplicably caused him to recall the past again. When I recall this, I feel guilty. In his dream, he was entangled with the woman next to him, and he felt very sorry for Yan Funing. After all, they are getting married soon. Thinking about it this way, I felt more and more guilty. He stood up and took a look at the trousers placed aside. Instead of asking the servant to wash them, he might as well wash them himself. After getting dressed, he took some soap nuts to wash his pants. When I turned around, I saw that there was some stain on the hem of my pajamas, so I just washed it together. When Fu Beimo and Meng Li came to look for him, they saw him rubbing clothes with a grunt. The two teenagers looked at each other. They held each other's arms and came under the orange tree, talking in low voices. Fu Beimo said: "My brother's brain is really wrong. When has he ever washed his clothes?" Meng Li nodded thoughtfully: "They say that the head should not be hit. You have such a big bump, it's a blessing that you are not stupid. I think my sister-in-law can cure the minor problem I just saw." "That's true. My sister-in-law can even cure my brain, let alone my brother's." "The bump on your head hasn't gotten bigger, but it hasn't gotten smaller either. Bei Mo, do you think you can get well before your wedding?"

"There is still a month before the wedding, so it should be fine." "In that case, I think we don't need to ask the young master, just bring the breakfast." They came over to ask if the food still needed to be brought to the main courtyard today. Judging from the young master's appearance just now, I'd better bring it directly. Fu Beimo nodded. The two young men left the main courtyard. - A quarter of an hour later, Fu Ciyi had breakfast in the outer room of the main courtyard. Even after breakfast, the guilt caused by the dream did not diminish at all. Seeing that Yan Funing had not come over, he got up and prepared to go to Yan's house. Upon hearing that the master was going to the Yan family, Jiang He, Hu Hai hurriedly tried to dissuade him. The four people's constant consolation made Fu Ciyi's head ache. Especially what Fu Jiang said: "Sir, I have asked Lord Yan to ask for leave for you at the Hanlin Academy. You cannot ride in a carriage in your current condition. Even if the carriage moves slowly, it will still shake, which is not good for your brain. If you are really stupid, the Duke will not marry his daughter to you." Fu Hai said in a gentle voice: "Young Madam came in the afternoon yesterday, and she may come in the afternoon again today. Please be patient and wait." Fu Ciyi nodded and went back to his room. He could hear nothing at all. In the afternoon, Yan Funing finally came to the Fu family. Seeing her coming, Fu Ciyi took out the silver needle and said calmly: "Before you give me the acupuncture, I have something to say." Yan Funing looked at his solemn expression and was startled: "Is it something important?" "Yes." The man nodded. "When I returned to the capital from Ling County, I asked for a marriage. The emperor agreed quickly because he didn't want me to investigate further." "Are you talking about the line of selling official positions and titles?" "Ah." Yan Funing frowned: "Why doesn't the emperor want you to investigate further?" "In fact, your father also reminded me before leaving for Ling County." Yan Funing was even more confused after hearing this: "Why does the emperor not want you to investigate just because you found out about Prime Minister Cai and the crown prince?" In fact, she had the same doubts when Cai Tingzhou was stripped of his position as Prime Minister. I always feel that the emperor is protecting Cai Tingzhou. Even my father reminded someone. "It has something to do with royal secrets." "Royal secrets?" Fu Ciyi explained: "The throne needs to be inherited by the crown prince. After the crown prince succeeded, the emperor was unwilling to accept it, so he sent Prime Minister Cai to assist him. On the surface, it was an assistance, but in fact it was interference, and even to a certain extent, blackmail."

"Are you unwilling to give up?" Yan Funing blinked and lowered her voice, "Fu Ciyi, please explain it more clearly. I am even more confused." Fu Ciyi said calmly: "I guess what the emperor wants most is that Cai Tingzhou and the prince can both assist and restrain each other. If Cai Tingzhou and the prince are in collusion, the emperor will not want it, as if Cai Tingzhou has betrayed him." Yan Funing nodded as if she understood, then shook her head: "The prince is the emperor's son, and the son will inherit the throne. Why is the emperor so wary?" Even matters concerning his son's succession to the throne had to be taken care of in advance. Fu Ciyi poured himself a glass of water and said indifferently, "There is only one reason, that is, the prince is not the emperor's biological son." Yan Funing's eyes widened when she heard this shocking news. She grabbed his arms with both hands and said playfully, "I love to hear secrets like this. Tell me in detail, which concubine cheated on the emperor?" Then he muttered to himself, "That's not right. If the emperor knew that the prince was not his biological son, he would just make someone else the prince." Fu Ciyi chuckled briefly. Such secrets are not really secrets. Almost all the important officials in the court knew about it, and some of the common people knew about it as well, but no one dared to discuss it. "The Emperor is now over sixty, and the Crown Prince and the other princes are all around twenty." If it happened in an ordinary family, this age difference would make them look like grandparents and grandchildren. "The emperor had children late because he was busy with government affairs?" Yan Funing guessed. Fu Ciyi shook his head: "Not only is the Crown Prince not the Emperor's biological son, but all the other princes are not either." After hearing the incredible secret, Yan Funing covered her mouth in shock. "The emperor has inherited the throne for many years, but his harem has no children. When the emperor was over 40 years old, the Imperial Hospital confirmed that he was infertile. The infertility of a monarch is an extremely serious problem that affects the country." "The royal family came up with an idea to select a few extremely intelligent people from the royal family and adopt them as the emperor's children." "The Crown Prince and all the other princes have the surname Long, and are related to the Emperor." "Compared to these so-called princes, Long Chi'an, the son of Princess Shuyun, who has the same mother as the emperor, has a closer blood relationship with the emperor." "So when Long Chi'an was born, he was given the imperial surname by the emperor." "It is rumored that Long Chi'an is very likely to inherit the throne in the future." "Yan Funing, after hearing this, do you regret not marrying Long Chi'an?"
