Wei Mingzhou pricked up his ears and listened to the noise outside for a while. He felt that the commotion outside did not mean that the Eighth Prince was killing people. Instead, it seemed that the Eighth Prince had noticed something and was ordering people to capture the evil thief.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Wei Mingzhou said firmly: "A traitor has sneaked into the cold palace, and the Eighth Prince is trying to capture him, which is why people are in a panic."

As he stroked his beard, Wei Mingzhou raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Wan Shufang, some of the Eighth Prince's actions are indeed uncomfortable and irritating, but it is a good thing that he is charging in the front and Your Majesty is reaping the benefits."

Hearing him say this, Wan Shufang immediately locked her eyes on him.

Seeing the obvious smile on his face, as if he couldn't wait to see the Eighth Prince stir up trouble and make the Emperor's efforts in vain, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Doctor Wei, you've been with Yanran recently. Are you discussing something in secret? Why do I always feel like you're hiding something important from me?"

Wan Shufang asked the question that had been in her mind for a long time, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

She took a deep breath in secret, trying hard to suppress the uneasy feeling, and stared at Wei Mingzhou with burning eyes, trying to see what he was thinking from the changes in his expression.

Wei Mingzhou was stared at by her and always felt that his secret was about to be discovered.

He felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, but it did not show on his face. He just looked at Wan Shufang with a gentle smile.

"What could I possibly be hiding from you?"

His tone was very calm, as if he had nothing to hide in his heart. Wan Shufang's question confused him.

Wan Shufang looked at him steadily, and found that she could not tell anything from his changing expression, and felt frustrated.

With one hand on her chin, Wan Shufang stared at Wei Mingzhou intently for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Your attitude towards His Majesty has subtly changed. I thought I was wrong before, but now I think that feeling is not wrong."

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingzhou's eyelids twitched slightly.

After he made up his mind, he repeatedly told Yanran to keep her emotions stable and not show any emotion on her face. He didn't expect Wan Shufang to be so sensitive.

He thought he had performed very well, but he never expected that Wan Shufang could still detect some situations through him.

He couldn't help but remain silent, but his mind was in a storm.

Regarding the matter against the emperor, he didn't want to drag down Chen Changli and his wife, so if anything happened, he would take full responsibility.

Now that Wan Shufang has noticed something, Wei Mingzhou feels a little conflicted.

Should he tell Wan Shufang? If he didn't, Wan Shufang would be confused and might try to figure everything out later, and she might be involved.

However, what if I tell her everything and she has other ideas?

Wei Mingzhou really didn't want Wan Shufang to be implicated, and after struggling for a long time, he tactfully said, "I'm worried about Your Majesty, so I'm not in a good mood. Don't worry, I will be able to adjust my mood soon and won't worry you anymore."

Wan Shufang heard something else in his words and felt complicated.

She had already guessed what Wei Mingzhou was hiding from her.

Out of her own personal thoughts and selfish motives, Wan Shufang said calmly, "It's good that Doctor Wei knows what's going on. I can't help with the rest, but as long as you need it, I'm happy to help."

"Aren't you... afraid?" When Wei Mingzhou heard Wan Shufang say this, he immediately knew that she had guessed what he was going to do, and his heart rose to his throat.

Wan Shufang smiled faintly: "What can I be afraid of? Apart from Chen Changli, there is no one else in Luoyang City that I care about, so no matter what happens, I am not afraid."

Wei Mingzhou's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Being alone is actually a good thing, but your child fell into the hands of Prince Rong."

"Prince Rong has not sent anyone to Luoyang City for such a long time. It can be seen that the situation in Luoyang City is really scary. This is why he dare not act rashly."

"However, the Eighth Prince has his own ideas and is trying to get you to attack His Majesty. Then Luoyang City may be occupied by the Eighth Prince."

"If Prince Rong knew about this, he would definitely use your child to threaten you and your wife. The Eighth Prince has ulterior motives and it is impossible for him to compromise with Prince Rong, so he would most likely push you and your wife out and let your family die a worthy death."

Wei Mingzhou's words were not alarmist, but were inferred based on the attitude of the Eighth Prince.

He was genuinely worried about this, so no matter whether Wan Shufang noticed it or not, or what she was thinking, he would rather keep everything in his heart than let Wan Shufang know anything from him.

"I know what Doctor Wei is worried about, but I believe that Your Majesty will turn the tide." Wan Shufang listened to Wei Mingzhou's worried words and suddenly felt that no matter how she comforted Wei Mingzhou, he would not be able to stop his wild thoughts.

She thought for a moment and then carried the emperor out.

She believed that even if Wei Mingzhou had some ideas, he would not be obsessed with worry when the emperor wanted to settle the score later.

"We should indeed think so. Otherwise, blindly thinking about it will only lead us to make wrong judgments and thus implicate ourselves." Wei Mingzhou said meaningfully after hearing this.

Wan Shufang didn't expect him to say that and was stunned for a moment. It was not until she understood the other meaning behind his words that she vaguely understood the significance of his words.

Feeling a little headache, Wan Shufang reached out to rub her head and sighed, "You are more sober than I thought. I took it for granted and couldn't help but worry about you."

After saying that, Wan Shufang rubbed her cheek and was about to speak, asking Wei Mingzhou to think more about it and not act on his own.

However, before she could finish her words, footsteps were heard outside, and soon a knock on the door penetrated her eardrums, making her frown involuntarily.

"Who?" Wei Mingzhou asked tentatively.

"It's me." Yanran's voice came in.

"Why are you here?" Wei Mingzhou was a little surprised. "Wan Shufang and I were imprisoned here by the Eighth Prince. Aren't you afraid of being targeted by the Eighth Prince by running here like this?"

Having said this, Wei Mingzhou thought of the commotion outside and asked again, "Is it the Eighth Prince who is killing people? Are you worried that something might happen to us so you came here to save us?"

As he spoke, he didn't care about anything else and hurried to the door, wanting to open it and go out, but he didn't expect the door was locked.

He pushed hard but found that he couldn't open it, and he felt heavy-hearted.

"Yanran, is the situation outside serious? Will you be in danger?"

"The Eighth Prince did not go on a killing spree. He was hunting down a woman named Tu Zhizhi."

Yanran's tone was anxious, as if she was worried about Wei Mingzhou.

"I heard that this woman is Tu Yuanzhou's biological sister, and has been lurking beside Princess An Qing. The Third and Fourth Princes will both suffer because of her secretly sowing discord between them."

"By the way, the Eighth Prince also said that Chen Changli and Tu Yuanzhou are related, and Tu Zhizhi was able to successfully plot against the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince because of Chen Changli."

"Wan Shufang is Chen Changli's wife. She knew Tu Zhizhi's identity and wanted to help Chen Changli achieve great merit and then go to Tu Yuanzhou. To this end, she deliberately poisoned the emperor."

"Doctor Wei, the Eighth Prince wants to use this woman named Tu Zhizhi to frame Chen Changli and his wife, and then get rid of them. You have to think of a way quickly, otherwise we will be implicated by them before we succeed."
