"I was wondering why the poisonous insects outside my palace were so restless. It turns out that Yanran came here."

Princess An Qing, wearing a blue palace dress, walked out of the crowd gracefully.

Her dark and bright eyes swept over Chen Changli and the others, and then specifically fell on Yanran.

I don't know what she was thinking about, but she suddenly smiled, with dimples on her cheeks, which felt like a spring breeze, warming one's heart.

Yanran showed a puzzled look and said in a pleasant voice: "These insects are restless, which can only mean that you didn't feed them. What does it have to do with me?"

Princess An Qing smiled faintly and said, "These bugs were given to me by Liu Yaoyao to protect my safety, but I cannot control them, so when they move, I know that your people are coming."

"Now that you're here, I naturally suspect that it's because of you that the bugs crawled out from their hiding places."

"But there is one thing that I find very strange. I hope you can explain it to me. Why do you stay with these people?"

"You are the person Liu Yaoyao trusts the most. If even you betray her, doesn't that mean Liu Yaoyao is under attack from all sides?"

Princess An Qing said this, and thinking of the chaos in Luoyang City in the past two days, her face suddenly darkened, and her eyes were full of hostility when she looked at Yanran.

"Have you really betrayed Liu Yaoyao? Where is the Phoenix Gu? Has it appeared?"

Princess An Qing obviously knew that the Phoenix Gu was just missing the final ingredient, but she hadn't received any news on whether it had appeared or not, so she was very suspicious of why Yanran appeared here with Chen Changli and the others.

Yanran was stumped by her question and her reaction was a little slow.

Chen Changli understood the meaning of her words, and his eyes darkened slightly, "You actually care so much about Phoenix Gu? Do you also believe in immortality? Then why do you show disbelief in front of Xu Qinglu?"

"Could it be that you had expected Xu Qinglu to come looking for you, so you took advantage of her."

Speaking of this, Chen Changli's expression turned ugly.

Could it be that the confidence Xu Qinglu displayed in front of him was also part of Princess An Qing's plan?

What about arresting the doctor?

Princess An Qing is actively trying to capture the doctor. Does she really want to trap the queen?

Or did she do this just to deceive Xu Qinglu and herself, and then attract the emperor's attention, and then she and Liu Yaoyao deliberately made a secret move.

"Xu Qinglu wanted to use you, but she didn't expect you to use her in return. If she knew about this, she would crawl out of hell."

Chen Changli's mind raced like lightning, and he soon figured out some things. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He had thought that Xu Qinglu was one step ahead, which led Princess An Qing to take a risky move, but he didn't expect that Princess An Qing did it on purpose.

It is no wonder that Princess An Qing would suddenly take action to get rid of the queen. This must have been part of her plan. Her purpose was probably to gain the emperor's trust so that he could use the queen's funeral to do something.

She could breathe a sigh of relief, and then secretly have an affair with Liu Yaoyao under the emperor's nose.

"Chen Changli, I admit that you are very capable and smart, but unfortunately you don't understand the emperor and don't know what he is thinking at all. That's why you lost a move."

When Princess An Qing heard the regret in Chen Changli's words, she knew that he had figured out some things. She laughed out loud immediately, as if she was very happy, but this happiness was also tinged with a hint of pain.

"As for me, you are right. I did know that Xu Qinglu wanted to use me, so I deliberately acted in front of her in an unbearable way and deceived her."

"But her words did scare me, and made me think clearly about some things, so that I really hated the emperor."

"Unfortunately, the emperor has already caught hold of my weakness. Even if I listen to Xu Qinglu's words and want to plot against the emperor to avenge my relatives, I can't compete with the emperor."

"I have no choice but to follow Xu Qinglu's words and direct all my attacks at the Queen, so that the Emperor can use the Queen's case to clean up the court."

Princess An Qing spoke of her plans with a hint of bitterness in her voice.

"The emperor did what I thought at first, but he didn't expect that Liu Yaoyao's whereabouts were discovered by the emperor. He followed the clues and found that it was Prince Rong."

"Just at this time, you discovered opium and showed the bad side of opium to the emperor."

"Although the emperor trusts Phoenix Gu, he is also using opium to collect money and then buy medicinal materials to refine Phoenix Gu."

"But the Afurong incident sounded the alarm for him. On the surface, he handed the matter over to you to investigate, but in fact, he learned about the origin of Afurong through me."

"So a few days after you disappeared, he focused all his attention on King Rong."

Speaking of Prince Rong, the notorious sickly man, Princess An Qing's tone was full of sarcasm, and a hint of it appeared on her face unconsciously.

"Prince Rong reacted very quickly. He actually took your children with him and left the general's mansion, and then hid in the slums."

"When the emperor took action, he exposed Liu Yaoyao and used Liu Yaoyao's previous incitement of the people to oppose you to pin down the emperor's men, thus escaping Luoyang City through the underground palace."

"But he didn't run far away, because he had made preparations in Luoyang City many years ago. His original intention was to make Luoyang City his capital, but he didn't expect the emperor to move the capital here."

"Now he is recruiting soldiers outside, and the emperor is clearing out his people in Luoyang City. The two sides are in a stalemate for a while."

"But judging by their eagerness to force the other party to death, I think it won't be long before they face off head-on."

Princess An Qing curled her lips and continued speaking.

"I doubt that the emperor would move the capital to Luoyang. I'm afraid he has long felt that there are rebels here, but he didn't expect that Prince Rong would be the backer of these rebels."

"Now that the uncle and nephew have torn their faces apart and are about to fight, I am a little worried that the emperor will push me out to die."

"So in order to survive, I can only betray Liu Yaoyao, hoping to save my own life."

"So when the Gu insect started to move, I thought my chance had come, but I didn't expect to see Yanran with you and your wife."

Princess An Qing deliberately showed her curiosity and said meaningfully, "I'm just wondering, didn't you two disappear? How come you are here?"

"Could it be that you two have become spies? Then what are you going to do now? Do you want to help the emperor gain merit, or do you want to join Prince Rong for the sake of your children?"
