Chapter 729 Thoughtful ThoughtsFu Ciyi held her hand and said softly, "If you marry Long Chi'an, you can imagine your future position in Dajing." Yan Funing lowered her voice and said, "You mean if Long Chi'an becomes the emperor, he will make me the queen?" The man nodded: "Yeah." She smiled. Regardless of the fact that she had never thought about becoming a queen, she just thought about why the person in front of her didn't say it earlier or later, but suddenly brought up this issue today. Thinking of this, she asked, "Master Fu is very thoughtful. He said these words to me after asking for the marriage." Fu Ciyi was startled. My heart suddenly felt cold. "Why do you sound like you regret it?" He slowly let go of her hand.

Yan Funing continued, "Do you regret rejecting the Queen Mother's marriage?" Then she smiled again, "I want to ask you why you didn't talk about this after we got married?" Fu Ciyi also smiled: "Do you think I haven't thought about it?" It was just the guilt caused by the dream today that made him say it out loud. "Besides—" After a slight pause, he continued, "This secret is not an airtight secret. Your grandfather, father and brother all know it. But the court has issued an order that the people are not allowed to discuss it privately." Yan Funing frowned: "So quite a few people know about this?" "Ah." "But I don't know. My parents never told me." "I still say the same thing, will you regret it?" he asked again. Yan Funing said frankly: "I don't know whether I will regret it or not, because I don't know whether my marriage with you will be happy in the future." Hearing this, Fu Ciyi nodded. The heart is as calm as water. Yan Funing added: "But I know that my decision to marry you is the result of careful consideration. No matter what happens in the future, I have to be responsible for my decision." Hearing this, Fu Ciyi grabbed her hand again and smiled sweetly. "So the emperor doesn't want you to investigate further because he wants to use Prime Minister Cai to control the crown prince. But both Prime Minister Cai and the crown prince are selling official positions and titles. Doesn't this prove from the side that these two have been colluding with each other for a long time?" Yan Funing asked with a frown. "Cai Tingzhou has already been promoted to the position of Prime Minister. If the Emperor wants him to do something, he will definitely give him some sweet benefits." Fu Ciyi asked in a persuasive manner, "Guess what the secret is?" Yan Funing pondered and said, "The Emperor has long known that Prime Minister Cai and the Crown Prince were selling official positions and titles. The reason why he turned a blind eye to it is that he still has some use for Prime Minister Cai." "clever." "But selling official positions and titles is not good for the court. The current emperor..."

She was about to continue speaking, but was stopped by Fu Ciyi's gesture of silencing her. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Just give me the acupuncture." "Okay." Yan Funing opened the silver needle bag and took out the silver needle. "I was making ointment when I got home yesterday. I made it overnight and again today. It's just getting better, so I came a little later today." "My lady is thoughtful." Fu Ciyi was in a very happy mood. "Here, it's in the box, the little white jade jar, take it yourself." After that, she gave him an acupuncture needle on the head. Fu Ciyi didn't feel any pain at all when the silver needle pricked him. He took the small white jade jar and played with it with his slender jade fingers. "I felt sleepy after taking the medicine. What happened?" It caused him to have such an unspeakable dream. "Don't blame me for the medicine I prescribed. It was caused by your concussion." Yan Funing's acupuncture movements were very fast. In just a few moments, more than twenty silver needles were inserted. While waiting for the needle to be removed, Fu Beimo came in quickly. "Brother and sister-in-law, Pang Anmeng came here, and brought along the man who had once suffered from acclimatization. He said he was looking for you urgently." "An Meng and Jin Lingcen are coming together?" Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi, "Will Your Excellency allow them to come to this courtyard?" Someone is not fit to move around, so she has to wait for the injection to be finished. "Or should I wait until I have finished my needles and then look for them?" Fu Beimo said, "Pang Anmeng is very anxious. She said she went to Yan's house and found you were not there. She asked people and rushed here." Fu Ciyi responded: "Let them come over, it's okay." Isn’t it just a big bump on your head? As long as she doesn't look down on him, he doesn't have to care about other people's eyes. Fu Beimo agreed and quickly walked out of the main courtyard. Soon he brought Pang Anmeng and Jin Lingcen in, and then he left. As he stepped into the house, Pang Anmeng was surprised to see the big bump on Fu Ciyi's head. He kept staring at him and it took him a long time before he remembered the purpose of his visit. "Fu Ning, let me tell you, the emperor wants to grant him a marriage, and he was summoned to the palace today to discuss this matter." Jin Lingcen also spoke up: "The person being granted marriage is actually Cai Mushi. I thought that Master Fu and Fu Ning already have experience in rejecting marriages, so I came here to ask." "Did you say when the marriage will be officially granted?" Yan Funing asked. Fu Ciyi raised his hand to let them sit down, and said calmly: "The Southwest Prince's Palace holds an important position in the court. The emperor will definitely seek the consent of the prince before officially granting the marriage, but he does not rule out granting the marriage directly." Jin Lingcen lifted his robe and sat down: "Not yet, just as Master Fu said, the emperor is asking for my opinion today." "Since the opinion has been put forward, naturally few people dare to disobey." Pang Anmeng also sat down, "This matter is urgent, so we came here."

Yan Funing thought for a moment and grabbed Pang Anmeng's hand: "I thought of something about your marriage with Cai Mingzhi before. Now that things have come to this, I think I should express my thoughts." "Fu Ning, go ahead and talk. I'm listening carefully." Pang Anmeng grabbed her hand. Fu Ciyi's eyes turned cold when he saw this. Considering that they were good friends, he kept silent. Yan Funing said, "Cai Mingzhi clearly likes your cousin, but he still wants to marry you. I guess the Cai family is eyeing your Pang family's military power." Pang Anmeng was puzzled: "Military power, but I am a woman, so the military power will naturally be inherited by my brother. What does the Cai family want?" "But the military power of the Pang family now belongs to your father." Yan Funing explained slowly, "An Meng, you have a straightforward personality. If you say something inappropriate, your temper will be like a firecracker, which will ignite at any time." Pang Anmeng squeezed Yan Funing's hand in front of Fu Ciyi and nodded, "She does have such a bad temper." "The Cai family has seized on this point of yours. If you really marry Cai Mingzhi and find out that Cai Mingzhi has another woman after marriage, what will you do with your temper?" Pang Anmeng shouted, "I will definitely draw my sword and castrate Cai Mingzhi!" "The Cai family will definitely make a big fuss about you, put you in jail, and then punish you for other crimes. Your father will come to Beijing in a hurry. How will things turn out?" "My father is on official business and cannot come to the capital without an imperial decree. If he goes to the capital, losing his military power is a minor matter, but he may even lose his life." Having said this, Pang Anmeng’s face turned pale and he held Yan Funing’s hand tighter and tighter. "Now you and Cai Mingzhi are on the surface keeping to yourself, but the Cai family has their eyes on your family's military power." Yan Funing said, looking at Jin Lingcen, "You are the prince of the Southwest. In the southwest, your Jin family holds a very important position. The Cai family wants to marry their daughter to you. I guess they don't want you to leave the capital." Jin Lingcen asked, "You mean someone wants me to stay in the capital as a hostage?" Yan Funing nodded: "Cai Mushi has a bad reputation, you must not like it. But if there is a marriage arranged, you have to obey."
