My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Fu Weiyi followed his gaze and saw his most capable bodyguard—Youying.

He followed behind a beautiful woman, like her personal attendant.

If it weren't for the fact that Youying had been by his side for many years and he was very familiar with his appearance, aura, and even martial arts skills, he would probably have thought that he was just someone who looked somewhat like Youying.

Because at this moment, the shadowy figure following behind the woman was very different from the shadowy figure who served as his bodyguard.

He seems to have completely changed after disappearing for a period of time.

The guard whispered, "I heard those people call the woman he was with 'Lady Ji'! That must be Lady Ji."

Throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty, it seems that only the Ji family held official positions and were so respected by so many people.

But why was Youying following behind Ji Shi?

He looked like Ji's younger brother, protecting Ji's safety and doing things for Ji.

The guard was puzzled, but a bold guess quickly formed in his mind. He whispered, "Young Master... is he carrying out some new plan? To infiltrate the enemy?"

Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why Youying would go to the Ji family.

In his heart, Youying would never betray their crown prince.

Even if the guards didn't think so, Fu Weiyi himself also had doubts.

Could it be true, as the guard said, that Youying followed Ji Yunshuang because she had some kind of opportunity and planned to infiltrate the enemy?

These bodyguards were trained from childhood, and their loyalty to him was ingrained in their very bones. Therefore, he did not believe that Shadow would betray him.

But if he's carrying out some plan, why hasn't he sent a message back?

Fu Weiyi was filled with questions.

However, he quickly found another reason for Youying.

It must be because she was afraid of arousing Ji Yunshuang's suspicion that she hadn't been able to find an opportunity to contact him.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason.

He couldn't contact me before, but now that I've come in person, he'll definitely find a chance to contact me!

Thinking this way, he took advantage of his disguise so that others wouldn't recognize him and deliberately moved closer to Ji Yunshuang.

Others may not know what he looks like, but his closest bodyguards would definitely recognize him.

However, he soon realized that Shadow didn't even give him a second glance.

His entire attention was focused on Ji Yunshuang, just as he had protected himself in the past.

On several occasions, he deliberately moved closer to Ji Yunshuang, which immediately aroused her wariness.

He even suspected that if he did anything that might harm Ji Yunshuang, Ji Yunshuang would immediately turn against him.

Moreover, the way he looked at me was completely unfamiliar.

That didn't seem like someone secretly working for Ji Yunshuang.

An absurd suspicion arose in his mind: his bodyguards... might very well have really betrayed him.

At that moment, he felt not only anger but also endless curiosity.

What kind of magic does that woman possess?

How could she possibly make her bodyguard, whom she had trained since childhood and who had followed her closely, betray her, treat her like a stranger, and remain loyal to her?

He quickly made a decision in his mind.

He wants to use his current identity to get to know her.

Today, he plays a young man from a prominent family who is curious about the reconstruction of Peach Blossom Village and has invited his friends to come and watch the excitement.

Many people came to watch the spectacle, and Fu Weiyi was very confident in his appearance, believing that no one would discover his true identity.

Therefore, after making his decision, he began to think of ways to get closer to Ji Yunshuang.

After some investigation, he discovered that the best way to get close to Ji Yunshuang was to work in Taoyuan Village.

She seemed to value the reconstruction of Taoyuan Village highly, and would often spend time visiting the village. Moreover, she was very approachable when interacting with the workers.

They not only care about the workers' daily lives, but also discuss the problems encountered in the project with the workers.

Ordinary workers naturally wouldn't have much to discuss with Ji Yunshuang. Those who could discuss issues with her were mostly technical professionals.

Through his investigation, he discovered that the landscape design master Wen Chongzhi, or the herb collector in charge of the medicinal herb base, were the easiest people to get close to Ji Yunshuang.

The identity of a herb gatherer didn't fit his current role. After thinking about it, he felt that it would be most suitable to play a learned young master from a prominent family who had a strong interest in garden design, admired Ji Yunshuang, and wanted to do his part for her.

His first step now is to get close to Wen Chongzhi and gain his approval and praise.

As the son whom King Xuan had nurtured from childhood and who was most favored, it would not have been difficult for him to win Wen Chongzhi's favor and praise by showcasing his talents.

He quickly gained Wen Chongzhi's trust and successfully stayed.

When Ji Yunshuang came to Taoyuan Village for inspection again, he finally met Ji Yunshuang and spoke with her.

Accompanying Ji Yunshuang this time were Fu Ci and Fu Zhe.

To his surprise, neither Fu Ci nor Fu Zhe displayed any airs of royalty in front of Ji Yunshuang.

Not only were they approachable, but they also seemed to subtly try to curry favor with Ji Yunshuang.

Moreover, the two brothers sometimes argue, but it's clear that they have a good relationship.

This was completely different from what he had seen before.

It seems that they have both changed without realizing it.

What shocked him most was Ji Yunshuang's knowledge and her extraordinary insight.

To play it safe, and to ensure his plan wouldn't fail again, he didn't try to show off at the beginning. Instead, he followed behind Wen Chongzhi, silently observing Ji Yunshuang and Fu Ci.

Neither Fu Ci nor Fu Zhe noticed him, but Ji Yunshuang keenly glanced at him several times.

When Ji Yunshuang and Wen Chongzhi talked about the construction of houses in Taoyuan Village, he was shocked again.

She seemed to know everything, and could readily recall all kinds of knowledge.

Did Xie Liang teach her all of these?

But when he looked at Fu Ci, Xie Liang's prized student, his eyes were shining as he listened, looking like he had never seen anything like it before.

Clearly, these were not things Xie Liang taught her.

The more he learned about Ji Yunshuang, the more enigmatic she seemed. And she was truly remarkable.

Putting everything else aside, just the construction of Peach Blossom Village alone... if it's eventually built, it will be a monumental achievement. Not to mention her other outstanding talents.

Now, he can't bear to kill Ji Yunshuang.

He wanted to make her willingly submit to his control.

To make a woman willingly belong to him... then make her heart and body belong to him.

He felt that Fu Ci might be thinking the same thing as him.

After all, it would be a real shame to kill someone as talented as Ji Yunshuang. Besides, she's so beautiful! Marrying her as the Crown Prince's consort wouldn't be a disgrace to him.
