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

Upon hearing this, Chen Changli hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince dared to put forward such a condition to me, which shows that he is well prepared. If Your Majesty takes the risk, he may take advantage of the victory and pursue you, leaving Your Majesty with no power to fight back."

The emperor wanted to take advantage of the situation, and Chen Changli was happy to cooperate.

However, when he thought that the emperor's physical condition was not as good as before, Chen Changli was worried that the emperor would achieve the opposite effect this time.

"I have more than a dozen princes, and the Eighth Prince is one of my most beloved princes. His betrayal of me really pains me."

"So I must teach him a severe lesson this time. Otherwise, if he continues to be stubborn and self-righteous and kills his relatives, my other sons will have no chance of survival."

The emperor's words clearly showed that he decided to take the risk in order to keep other princes alive.

However, Chen Changli felt that the emperor suspected that Concubine De had left many tricks for the Eighth Prince, which was why the Eighth Prince repeatedly challenged his bottom line.

Now that he has decided to teach the Eighth Prince a lesson, he probably also wants to take this opportunity to find out what the Eighth Prince is doing.

If the Eighth Prince is a fool as he thinks, then the Eighth Prince will not be able to escape this time.

When Chen Changli thought of this, his heart trembled slightly and he became alert.

He bowed his head respectfully, trying his best to keep his expression straight and not show any abnormality, and said calmly: "I am willing to serve your majesty at my utmost."

A hint of coldness flashed across the emperor's eyes, fleeting and elusive. "I'm leaving this matter to you, and I believe you can cooperate with me to make Old Eight recognize the facts."

After saying this, the emperor asked Su Dequan to call Wan Shufang in and ask him to prescribe medicine that would not harm him but would make him look seriously ill.

Wan Shufang was confused by this request. She glanced at Chen Changli and saw him lower his head slightly, as if asking her to obey the emperor's orders.

She said, "Your Majesty, I don't have such medicine, but acupuncture can produce such results."

"Then give me acupuncture." The emperor did not waste any time and immediately asked Wan Shufang to perform acupuncture on him.

Wan Shufang took out a silver needle and gave the emperor a few injections. Half a cup of tea later, the emperor fell asleep with a pale face.

Su Dequan deliberately observed the emperor for a while, and then asked Wei Mingzhou to take the emperor's pulse.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after he was sure that the emperor was unconscious and not injured.

"General Chen, you must act quickly on what His Majesty has instructed you to do. Don't delay, or His Majesty will get hurt."

After Su Dequan said this, he went to call other people to cooperate with Chen Changli.

When he was busy, Wan Shufang and Wei Mingzhou asked in confusion: "What are you and His Majesty talking about?"

After Chen Changli told him about the Eighth Prince, he said with a look of melancholy in his eyes: "The Crown Prince's disappearance has never left a trace in His Majesty's heart. He only cares about whether the Eighth Prince's affairs will pose a threat to him."

Wan Shufang was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that the emperor was unusually cold towards the prince, he did not expect that after the prince helped him resist foreign enemies and then disappeared, the emperor did not care about the prince at all.

Isn't he afraid that Tu Yuanzhou will attack Luoyang City with great force?

"Your Majesty's mind is hard to predict. Even if you and I were the worms in his stomach, we would not be able to figure out what he is thinking. In this case, we might as well do our own duties well."

Wei Mingzhou had already made up his mind to get rid of the emperor with the help of Prince Rong, so even though he knew that the emperor was cruel, he didn't take it to heart.

"Doctor Wei is right, Chen Changli, just listen to him and stop worrying about His Majesty's attitude." Wan Shufang sighed slightly, nodded in agreement, and then comforted Chen Changli.

"The disappearance of the Crown Prince is not a simple matter. I suspect that someone in Luoyang City did something in Qingzhou, which led to the Crown Prince being seriously injured and missing."

After Chen Changli learned about the Crown Prince from the Eighth Prince, his mind was no longer in Luoyang City.

However, thinking that the emperor was here and the eighth prince wanted him to get rid of the emperor, Chen Changli had to change his mind.

Now that he had spoken about the Crown Prince, Chen Changli also wanted to vent the pressure in his heart and not let himself get hurt.

Otherwise, before the Eighth Prince's issue is resolved, he will be targeted by the Emperor.

"I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man of good fortune." Wei Mingzhou let out a long sigh of relief. "After all, except for the few princes who haven't grown up yet, if the others become emperors, it will only lead to the demise of Dajing."

Chen Changli looked at his face and confirmed that he was thinking this from the bottom of his heart. He quickly said, "Just keep this in your heart and don't say it out loud. If there are ears on the other side of the wall, what should we do?"

Wei Mingzhou said cheerfully, "I know what's going on. Don't worry."

After saying this, he stayed beside the emperor, staring at him with a mysterious look in his eyes.

Chen Changli noticed that his expression was not right and immediately gave Wan Shufang a look.

Wan Shufang understood and said with a smile: "Go and do your thing, I'll take care of this."

After hearing this, Chen Changli swallowed back the words that were rolling in his throat and acted according to his previous plan.

After watching him leave until she could no longer see him, Wan Shufang looked at Wei Mingzhou carefully.

Seeing that he was so contented, as if he was at home and had no need to worry at all, Wan Shufang felt a little doubtful.

Wei Mingzhou was not like this before. How come his demeanor changed after not seeing him for just one day? Is there something she doesn't know?

Wan Shufang thought about this and asked with concern, "Are you in any trouble?"

Wei Mingzhou's eyelids twitched slightly, but he said, "I'm staying here, what kind of trouble can I get into?"

Wan Shufang didn't believe it and continued to look at him, saying in an inexplicable tone: "Doctor Wei, your demeanor today is very unusual. I'm worried that something has happened to you."

She spoke bluntly, without beating around the bush or being euphemistic, simply because she felt that their relationship didn't have to be like that.

Wei Mingzhou actually liked Wan Shufang's straightforwardness, but the matter between him and Yanran could not be known to outsiders, so he quickly changed the subject: "Instead of caring about me, you might as well care about the prince."

Wan Shufang said calmly: "The prince is far away in Qingzhou. No one knows what happened except those around him. What's the point of me worrying? It's better to focus on the matter at hand."

After that, she locked her eyes on Wei Mingzhou, not missing the slightest change on his face, "Are you sure everything is okay?"

Wei Mingzhou was her elder, and she learned witchcraft from him and Yanran.

In other words, Wei Mingzhou is not only an elder to her, but also a master-like figure. She is really worried about Wei Mingzhou.

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong, don't worry about me. I'm decades older than you, and I've experienced more than you. I know exactly what to do and what not to do."

Wei Mingzhou felt Wan Shufang's concern for him, and a trace of guilt emerged in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He just said with a displeased look.

"If there is anything, I will definitely tell you. By then, you may have to discuss it with Chen Changli before you can help me."
