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

Princess An Qing said this as if she was worried that the emperor would harm Chen Changli and his wife, and she had to protect them.

Wan Shufang just thought she was shameless. She wanted to refute her, but she was worried that if she spoke up, Princess An Qing would be unreasonable.

She swallowed her words and stared at her scrutinizingly.

Seeing that her attention was on Chen Changli, as if she only wanted to get his response, Wan Shufang couldn't help but feel surprised.

Princess An Qing's attitude was too strange. Was she going to do something to Chen Changli? Was what she said just now true or false?

Is it possible that the emperor sent someone to monitor her every move?

If the emperor had not done so, wouldn't their blatant display of loyalty to the emperor have become a joke in the eyes of Princess An Qing?

When she thought of this, Wan Shufang's face turned unhappy.

She was worried that Princess An Qing might notice something, so she immediately lowered her eyes, stroked her forehead, and thought quietly.

But before she could come up with anything, Wei Mingzhou interrupted her thoughts and said, "The princess's concerns are reasonable. In that case, let's go with her."

Although Wei Mingzhou was unwilling to leave with Princess An Qing, Princess An Qing had already made her attitude clear. If they resisted, they might anger her.

Princess An Qing is the emperor's sister, and she gained the emperor's trust by betraying Liu Yaoyao.

The reason why she is so fearless is probably that she still has some things on hand that can be used to make a deal with the emperor.

During the years that Wei Mingzhou served as the imperial physician, he also met the emperor.

However, the emperor at that time was very wise and brave, and showed no signs of stupidity.

Wei Mingzhou had a pretty good impression of him, but after what happened during this period, he thought about the emperor's desire for the Phoenix Gu and his indulgence of Princess An Qing in kidnapping a doctor to refine the Phoenix Gu.

He suspected that the emperor was old and confused, and that what he was doing now showed signs of being a degenerate ruler.

He was unwilling to anger the emperor under such circumstances. After all, a foolish emperor's anger could cause families to be destroyed.

If Wei Mingzhou were single, he might have the pride he had when he was young and not be afraid of imperial power at all.

But he is old, has children and grandchildren, and friends around him, so how could he offend the emperor?

Wei Mingzhou had some complicated thoughts in his mind and he sighed for the first time. Then, without caring what Princess An Qing thought, he walked forward to support Chen Changli and led him forward.

He was very strong and looked much taller than Yun Guike, who was a little thin.

Princess An Qing couldn't help but take a closer look at him and found that he looked like a white-haired old man, but his body was as strong as that of Wulan's warriors.

She raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Chen Changli, who is this old man? Why does he look like a warrior?"

"Didn't I just say that? He is one of the doctors you kidnapped." Chen Changli said calmly.

Princess An Qing raised her lips slightly when she heard this: "Really? But why do I feel like he doesn't look like a doctor? Are you lying to me?"

When it comes to the word "cheat", Princess An Qing's eyes are filled with deep suspicion.

Princess An Qing knew that Chen Changli had been missing for a few days even though she was trapped in the palace.

She also sent people out to inquire about the news, and naturally knew that Chen Changli was trapped in Prince Rong's Mansion.

Now that Prince Rong and the Emperor are confronting each other, Chen Changli has appeared in the cold palace with a few people. Princess An Qing is somewhat suspicious that the fact that he is trapped in Prince Rong's mansion is a false illusion.

In fact, he had already found out some things through Wan Shufang, and was ready to take this opportunity to escape from Prince Rong's control and make great contributions in front of the emperor.

"I am just an ordinary doctor. The reason why I look stronger than others is because I am always taking care of myself."

Wei Mingzhou heard the suspicion in Princess An Qing's tone and couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.

"If you, Princess, also want to become strong, just give me a few days and I can make you like me."

His eyes turned and he said these words specifically to Princess An Qing.

It seemed that as long as Princess An Qing nodded, he could really make Princess An Qing stronger than a man.

There was a hint of ferocity in Princess An Qing's eyes, but there was a gentle smile on her face, as if she was indulging Wei Mingzhou.

"If you really have such ability, this princess will definitely make good use of you."

After saying this, she stopped dwelling on the matter and led her people directly to the palace where she was.

After arriving, she arranged a room for Chen Changli and his wife and asked them to rest. She then asked someone to arrange for Wei Mingzhou and the other person, while she quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Liu Yaoyao.

She specifically wrote about what happened today in the letter, mentioned Yanran's strange behavior, and then went to see the emperor.

At this time, the emperor was furious because Prince Rong had dug a lot of tunnels in Luoyang City.

He himself escaped with the help of these tunnels. It was a day later that the emperor's men discovered the existence of these tunnels. They also understood why they could not find Prince Rong in his mansion or even in Luoyang City.

As soon as the emperor learned the news, his face turned dark and ugly. After hurriedly dealing with some trivial matters, he called all the civil and military officials into the palace and started cursing at them.

"Luoyang is a thousand-year-old capital. What has the prefect of Luoyang been doing all these years? Why did Prince Rong dig so many tunnels in Luoyang? You don't even know."

As he spoke, he threw the memorial at him fiercely. The prefect of Luoyang was so frightened that he fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, it's obvious that those tunnels were not dug in a short period of time. I have only been in Luoyang City for a year. How could I know about this?"

Gritting his teeth, he boldly guessed the time when these tunnels appeared.

"I have specially checked and found that these tunnels have appeared in Luoyang City for several decades, so I suspect that these tunnels may have been dug by the old King Rong."

As soon as he said this, the emperor became so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, because the old Prince Rong was a very talented person and the late emperor valued him very much.

But he was too talented, and the late emperor became wary of him when he grew old, and specifically instructed the emperor to be on guard against old Prince Rong.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he was still preparing to take action against the old Prince Rong, but he did not expect that the old Prince Rong was very sensible and simply resigned from his official position to stay in the palace to retire. Later, he died from hidden injuries accumulated over the years, leaving behind only the sickly young Prince Rong.

At the beginning, the emperor really had some affection for Prince Rong.

But as he got older and his spirit declined, the emperor began to doubt him.

That's why they sent a lot of people to keep an eye on Prince Rong, trying to find out his problems and then get rid of him.

Prince Rong was indeed good at pretending to be sick. The emperor had been keeping an eye on him for years but had not been able to catch him. This time the capital was moved to Luoyang only because he had found out that there were rebels operating in Luoyang.

He wanted to use these rebels to achieve his own goals, but he didn't expect to accidentally discover that Prince Rong had been pretending to be ill all these years.

He originally wanted to use the death of Xu Qinglu to catch Prince Rong in the act, but he didn't expect Prince Rong to react so quickly and escape under his nose using Luoyang City.

"Capture Prince Rong with all your strength. If he resists, kill him without mercy!"
