Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Wan Shufang didn't care about Old Man Xia's threats, she only cared about Chen Changli's affairs, so no matter what Old Man Xia said, she wanted to take the initiative.

Old Man Xia guessed what she was thinking and sneered.

Wan Shufang did not give in: "This is my only request. If you agree, I can stay here and do nothing."

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Old Man Xia asked sarcastically.

Wan Shufang said calmly: "You are not a fool, and I dare not treat you as a fool."

Hearing her calmly respond to his words and even praising him a little, Old Man Xia's face turned green with anger.

He stared at Wan Shufang meaningfully, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Wan Shufang said frankly: "Chen Changli is very important to me. No matter what happens, I can't abandon him."

Old Man Xia said angrily, "I don't want to know how your relationship is, and you don't have to test me anymore. Whether Chen Changli can survive depends on his fate. It has nothing to do with me."

"Instead of wasting your time on me, you might as well refine the poison as I said. Maybe with these poisons, Chen Changli can hold on for a while longer."

These words touched Wan Shufang's heart, and she almost lost control of her emotions.

However, thinking that the detoxifier could prevent the poison from harming Chen Changli, she quickly adjusted her mood so as not to let her true thoughts be exposed.

Yun Guike didn't know about the detoxifier. When he thought about Chen Changli being treated as the mother of the Phoenix Gu and soaked in extremely toxic water, his heart sank and his anger was revealed in his eyes without any concealment.

"You are such a degenerate bunch. I really hope that His Majesty will expose your conspiracy soon and catch you all in one fell swoop, so that we can have a peaceful and clean world again."

Yun Guike spoke these words passionately and forcefully. Wan Shufang was standing next to him, and when she heard his words, she almost couldn't hold back her expression.

She quickly reached out and pulled Yun Guike, saying gently, "His Majesty has long been aware of these people's actions. He sent my husband to wipe out Afurong as a warning to these people."

"Now that my husband is missing, His Majesty must know about this, and he will definitely send someone to rescue us."

Wan Shufang deliberately talked about what the emperor might do while she was thinking. She wanted to use the emperor to warn Old Man Xia not to think that he was safe staying in this underground palace.

She has someone to rely on, so when Old Man Xia does something that doesn't suit her wishes or wants to hurt Chen Changli, she can turn against him.

"You are taking advantage of the situation." Old man Xia exposed Wan Shufang's words in one sentence.

Wan Shufang said bluntly: "I just want you to compromise. Otherwise, before tomorrow comes, both of us will be in a big fight over Chen Changli's matter. I'm afraid no one can predict how things will turn out in the end."

"What you said makes sense." Old man Xia originally wanted to gain the upper hand so that Wan Shufang would obey him.

Wan Shufang is not only difficult to deal with, but also quick-witted. If it weren't for the fact that she was sure that the external situation was very unfavorable to Liu Yaoyao and Prince Rong was planning to hold Liu Yaoyao back, Old Man Xia would definitely take the time to make Wan Shufang face reality.

It's a pity that Prince Rong has really turned himself into a waste after pretending to be a waste for so many years. No matter how smart and clever Liu Yaoyao is, she is destined to spend some time cleaning up the mess for Prince Rong.

He could not delay any longer and had to research the Phoenix Gu as soon as possible so that they could take the initiative in the increasingly chaotic situation.

"I can let you see Wei Mingzhou, but before that you have to make this medicine."

When Old Man Xia thought of this, he came up with a plan in his mind. He immediately offered to let Wan Shufang work for him in exchange for meeting Wei Mingzhou.

Wan Shufang glanced at him and said with a smile, "Where are the herbs?"

"It's ready." Old man Xia pointed in a direction and urged Wan Shufang with his eyes to start quickly and not waste any more time.

Wan Shufang took Yun Guike directly there and to a small secret room filled with medicinal herbs, Yun Guike's heart felt as if it had sunk into an ice cellar, because this small secret room was not only filled with poisonous herbs, but also contained the dried bodies of many poisonous insects.

"Do you really want to help him make medicine?" Yun Guike looked at the densely packed bodies of poisonous insects and felt uneasy. He quickly retracted his gaze and set it on Wan Shufang.

Wan Shufang looked around and confirmed that the secret room was very hidden, with only one entrance, and could be entered or exited. She sighed, "Senior Xia has already made preparations. The reason he was talking nonsense to us was just to make us bring up the matter ourselves."

"What do you mean?" Yun Guike was a little confused.

Wan Shufang explained his doubts: "They not only have poison masters, but also Gu masters. Although this poison is difficult to refine, as long as they work together, how can they not be able to refine it?"

"Besides, they have the support of Prince Rong, so they have plenty of ways to invite doctors with excellent medical skills to the palace, but they didn't do that. After Princess An Qing kidnapped the doctor with excellent medical skills, they targeted these people."

"That is to say, they looked down on physicians at first, or there are many people who practice both Chinese medicine and poison, but their inheritance is not as good as ours, so they need us to help them refine medicine."

Hearing this, Yun Guike thought of the medicines he had made in the side courtyard before, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Wan Shufang checked the neatly arranged medicinal herbs and sighed, "I think the reason they need us is because of Wei Mingzhou's request."

"I just don't know how Wei Mingzhou convinced them that they were happy to let us live."

The reason why she had the courage to negotiate with Old Man Xia was because after being knocked unconscious by the white smoke, she saw Yanran here when she woke up again.

And Yanran's reaction afterwards was very strange. It seemed like Old Man Xia knew something and cared about her very much.

She guessed at that time that Yanran's identity was not simple. Perhaps these people were able to research the Phoenix Gu because of Yanran.

Although she could not convince Yanran in a short period of time, she could plant a seed in her heart and wait for it to take root and sprout.

Old Man Xia was very perceptive and noticed her intention, so he used Chen Changli to threaten her.

Wan Shufang did not want to implicate Chen Changli, so she could only point out the truth to make him hesitate.

"Wei Mingzhou will never go along with these traitors." After Yun Guike had been with Wei Mingzhou for some time, he knew what kind of person Wei Mingzhou was and was unwilling to believe that he would help the traitors.

Wan Shufang hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Based on the tempers of these people, Doctor Wei is probably infected with the same poisonous insect as you, so he had to bow his head."

"This is very likely." Yun Guike said quickly, "While Wei Mingzhou was protecting himself, he was also thinking about us. It can be seen that he also hates these people very much in his heart."

"However, we are too weak to find him and take him away from here. I am afraid we still have to rely on his protection."

At this point, Yun Guike was silent for a while and then said, "What kind of medicine does the old man want to research? Can I help?"
