The Eighth Prince smiled coldly: "The twists and turns of right and wrong were determined back then. Wei Mingzhou, you should be thankful that you have a good master. If it weren't for him, you would have died back then."

Several decades ago, a tragedy occurred in the palace, and Concubine De was almost implicated.

The Eighth Prince was very young at that time, but the look of Concubine De's fear and anxiety was deeply engraved in his heart and he never forgot it for many years.

Now that he had seen the person who had caused the tragedy in the palace, the Eighth Prince's face turned cold. If he had had someone under his command, he would have given an order to have Wei Mingzhou arrested.

"I have always been very grateful for this." Wei Mingzhou could tell that the Eighth Prince had a lot of resentment towards him, as if what happened back then had caused him great harm.

His expression remained calm and his words were cold, but he hated Chang Xuewei in his heart.

If she hadn't deliberately plotted and pushed him out as a scapegoat, how could he have left the Imperial Hospital with a dishonorable reputation.

The most hateful thing is that he fell into such a miserable situation because of Chang Xuewei, but Chang Xuewei didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt and even targeted him.

Decades later, in order to refine the Phoenix Gu, she specifically hinted to Princess An Qing to tie her up and take her to the underground palace.

Although his life in the underground palace was not so bad because of his strong strength, he would never forget the feeling of oppression, not to mention that he later found out that Chang Xuewei was plotting against him again.

"A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water." After listening to Wei Mingzhou's words, the Eighth Prince was silent for a long time before he squeezed out these few words.

Wei Mingzhou thought he was just praising him and accepted it calmly.

The Eighth Prince was not happy about this. He wanted to teach Wei Mingzhou a painful lesson and vent the anger for Concubine De who was frightened back then.

Wei Mingzhou seemed to have sensed his thoughts and said tactfully, "Your Highness, His Majesty's situation is very bad. I need to stay by his side at all times."

These simple words suppressed all the dark thoughts in the Eighth Prince's heart.

"Father will be fine." The eighth prince snorted and continued to sit on the edge of the bed, staring down at the emperor.

Seeing that his eyes were closed and his face was pale, as if he was going to meet the King of Hell in the next moment, the Eighth Prince felt only joy in his heart, without any sorrow at all.

At this moment he finally realized that he hated the emperor. If his strength had not allowed it, he would have pointed all his blades at the emperor.

However, the emperor was more powerful than he thought and had many backup plans. He almost capsized in the ditch and had no way to turn the situation around.

Fortunately, the emperor still had a fatherly love for him, and not only spared his life, but also gave him a chance.

Now that he has seized the opportunity, he will never lose it again.

"Go and find Wan Shufang." After sorting out his thoughts, the Eighth Prince didn't want to wait any longer and immediately sent someone to find Wan Shufang.

He wanted Wan Shufang to take action as soon as possible, and then he would deal with Prince Rong himself.

As long as he gets rid of Prince Rong and then burns the monsters in Luoyang City with fire, he can occupy Luoyang City and ascend the throne as emperor.

Wei Mingzhou could see at a glance what the Eighth Prince was thinking.

His eyes turned cold, and the plan in his mind went through ups and downs. He seemed to want to modify some of the details so that the Eighth Prince could get involved and let them kill each other.

However, the plan is difficult to change. Wei Mingzhou sighed inexplicably when he thought of Wan Shufang, who was going to see the Crown Princess.

"Yanran, go back and rest."

After a while, Wei Mingzhou winked at Yanran and asked her to leave first, while he stayed here and watched the Eighth Prince's every move.

"Just come to me if you have any problems." Yanran received Wei Mingzhou's eye contact and immediately knew what she meant. She went out and contacted the person sent by Liu Yaoyao.

This contact made Chen Changli discover her actions.

Chen Changli was quite surprised. He arranged the things in his hands and carefully observed Yanran. He found that she had passed some information out.

In order to prevent the information conveyed by Yanran from being detrimental to them, Chen Changli could only arrest those people first and then interrogate them. He didn't want these people to refuse to surrender and would rather die.

Seeing these people ready to die, Chen Changli suddenly smiled and said, "Is Prince Rong so good? But as far as I know, Prince Rong is just a puppet pushed by the traitor Liu Yaoyao."

"Your loyalty to King Rong will only make you Liu Yaoyao's abandoned pawns."

As he said this, he deliberately observed the changes in the spies' expressions.

Seeing that they could hold their emotions in check, Chen Changli knew that they were all former death warriors and were not afraid of threats or death at all.

Chen Changli lost interest in interrogating them, so he had them locked up. He then went to find Yanran to test her intentions. Unexpectedly, he met someone who served Princess An Qing on the way.

"General Chen, my princess has woken up and she wants to see you. Please come with me."

When the little palace maid saw Chen Changli, she rushed over as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

"Besides me, who else does the princess plan to meet?"

After hearing what the little palace maid said, Chen Changli suddenly asked a question.

"My princess only wants to see you." The little maid replied immediately.

When Chen Changli heard this, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and then he remembered that they had knocked Princess An Qing unconscious and taken her to the cold palace in order to prevent her from doing anything secretly.

Afterwards, Wei Mingzhou fed her calming soup every day, causing her to fall into a coma for several days in a row and be unaware of what was happening outside.

Now that he's awake, I guess Wei Mingzhou didn't give him any medicine.

"Let's go." Although he didn't know what Wei Mingzhou's intention was, Chen Changli had a good eye for people and felt that Wei Mingzhou was a very good person and worthy of trust.

So he followed the little palace maid to see Princess Anqing, but he didn't expect to see Duke Huiguo here.

After not seeing him for more than a year, Duke Huiguo looked even older, as if he was already eighty years old. His eyes were so cloudy that people didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Chen Changli, my wife Chen Mingyue died outside the general's mansion." Duke Huiguo stared at Chen Changli for a long time and suddenly mentioned the dead Chen Mingyue.

Chen Changli was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "The person who killed Chen Mingyue was Prince Rong. If the Duke wants to avenge his wife, he should do everything he can to get rid of Prince Rong."

"Chen Mingyue was killed because of the people in the General's Mansion. In other words, if the people in your General's Mansion were not so annoying, Chen Mingyue would not have been implicated." Duke Huiguo's words were quite arrogant and unreasonable.

Chen Changli didn't take it to heart, and just emphasized: "My children were all captured by Prince Rong, and before that, Prince Rong stayed very well in the general's mansion and behaved well. He had no ill will towards my children at all."

"He suddenly had the intention to take my child away. Maybe Chen Mingyue said something in front of him that made him angry, and then this anger was directed at Chen Mingyue. In other words, Chen Mingyue got what she deserved."
