Liu Yaoyao felt uneasy when Jiang Wanli brought her to see Tu Zhizhi.

In order to avoid being tricked, Liu Yaoyao raised her guard and said indifferently, "Most of the people under my command are poison masters or Gu masters. They are noble in character and will not do anything that harms others and does not benefit themselves. So I advise you not to plot against me, so as not to get yourself into trouble."

Tu Zhizhi laughed as if she had heard a joke, "I don't want to plot against you. After all, your master is a secretive person and is not a good person. If I plot against you, you won't even know how you died."

Liu Yaoyao was so angry at these words that her face turned blue.

Tu Zhizhi continued to tease: "Why did Chen Changli mention Chang Xuewei? Although I don't understand the reason, you can figure it out, so can you tell me the reason?"

"Tu Zhizhi, Chen Changli is right next to us. If you want to win him over, then quickly offer him tangible benefits. Don't provoke me here, otherwise I will make you wish you were dead." Liu Yaoyao's words were full of threats.

After hearing this, Tu Zhizhi knew she couldn't tease her anymore, so she calmly changed the subject: "With the death of Princess An Qing, the people she secretly cultivated will surely lose their morale. Concubine De has cooperated with Princess An Qing, so some of Princess An Qing's people will yearn for the Eighth Prince."

"What I want to do now is to stop this group of people, but the staff around the Eighth Prince are very capable. They have made the Eighth Prince's surroundings like an iron barrel that not even a mosquito can fly in."

When she said this, she looked at Chen Changli deliberately. Without further ado, Chen Changli already understood what she meant.

He sighed softly and said, "After the Eighth Prince killed Princess An Qing, he set his sights on my husband and me. You are targeting me because you want me to have a head-on confrontation with the Eighth Prince, right?"

Tu Zhizhi shook her head: "I don't have such plans."

"If you didn't have this plan, then why did you let Jiang Wanli wait in the secret passage?" Liu Yaoyao narrowed her eyes dangerously and seized a blind spot to attack Tu Zhizhi. "Yes, why did Jiang Wanli wait for us in the secret passage?"

When she said this, she deliberately glanced at Jiang Wanli. Seeing that he was still calm and showed no unusual emotions, she immediately snorted coldly: "Tu Zhizhi, you didn't tell us the truth."

"I wasn't waiting for you in the secret passage. I just happened to meet you." Jiang Wanli explained quickly.

Tu Zhizhi added: "I have been sending people to keep an eye on Chen Changli. When he led his men out of Luoyang City, I received the news and sent Jiang Wanli out through the secret passage to find Chen Changli."

Seeing how sincerely they spoke, Chen Changli concluded that they were not lying, and he couldn't help feeling heavy-hearted.

If Jiang Wanli just happened to meet them, then how was the boulder trap pushed?

He followed Liu Yaoyao up the mountain, but found nothing.

"I am the general of Dajing, and you are a traitor. No matter what exchange terms you propose, I will never go along with you."

All kinds of thoughts were running through his mind, but Chen Changli did not show them on his face. He only expressed his attitude.

Tu Zhizhi knew that Chen Changli would have such an attitude, and there was no surprise on her face. She just looked at him meaningfully, then took out a seal carved from Hetian jade and handed it to him.

Seeing the familiar seal, Chen Changli's face changed.

Seeing this, Tu Zhizhi had a proud look on her face, "I received this thing yesterday, I think it should be delivered to you."

As she spoke, she handed the seal toward Chen Changli.

Chen Changli took the seal, feeling complicated, "Tu Yuanzhou, do you have anything else to say?"

This seal belonged to the prince, and now it fell into Tu Zhizhi's hands. Chen Changli was a little worried that the prince had fallen into Tu Yuanzhou's hands.

"He just said that we are all relatives and should join forces for a great cause." Tu Zhizhi's tone was calm, but her eyes were full of expectation as she stared at Chen Changli, as if this seal could really make him bow his head.

Chen Changli's fingers gently stroked the seal, feeling the familiar marks on it, and he knew that this seal indeed belonged to the prince and was not made intentionally by Tu Yuanzhou.

"I can't bear the word relative." Suppressing his anger, Chen Changli put the seal in his arms and looked at Tu Zhizhi calmly.

Even if the prince fell into Tu Yuanzhou's hands, he would not choose to cooperate with him, not to mention that the prince would never let himself fall into such a situation.

Tu Zhizhi raised her lips slightly and smiled faintly: "I know you won't agree, but I still want to tell you this, the purpose is naturally to hope that you can consider it."

After saying this, Tu Zhizhi felt some pain in the wounds on her body.

She forced herself to endure the pain and continued, "I'll give you a day to think about it. After that day, I hope we can join forces to deal with the Eighth Prince."

After saying that, she made a gesture and asked Chen Changli to take Liu Yaoyao away.

Her gesture has already made her attitude clear, which is that she is only here to negotiate, not to force anyone.

Chen Changli saw that she looked pale and seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. After a moment of silence, he said, "I will come to see you in a day. I hope you can come out to see me then."

After saying this, he turned and left. Liu Yaoyao glanced at Tu Zhizhi, then looked at Chen Changli's departing back, and finally chased after him.

Jiang Wanli looked at Liu Yaoyao who caught up with Chen Changli, and his brows twisted unconsciously into a knot, "This woman from the Liu family is really untrustworthy."

Tu Zhizhi coughed, and her face turned even paler. "The Liu family is the remnant of the previous dynasty. They have wanted to restore the previous dynasty for generations. Unfortunately, the emperors of Dajing have been wise for generations, and the people have already returned to their hearts. They are not willing to follow them in rebellion."

"In recent years, there have been many natural and man-made disasters in Dajing, and the Liu family has found an opportunity. As a girl of the Liu family, Liu Yaoyao has had a hard life since she was a child. Now she can meet us in a normal manner, which is enough to prove that her master is extraordinary."

Speaking of Liu Yaoyao's master, a dangerous light flashed in Tu Zhizhi's eyes.

"I thought her master was Prince Rong before, so I specifically ordered Princess An Qing's people to contact Prince Rong. However, Prince Rong's ambition is too exposed, and he is very dependent on Liu Yaoyao. It is impossible for him to be Liu Yaoyao's master."

"Jiang Wanli, I suspect that Liu Yaoyao is still loyal to the Liu family and is not sincerely supporting Prince Rong."

Listening to Tu Zhizhi's speculation, Jiang Wanli frowned tightly: "But the Liu family has been destroyed by the emperor. The remaining Liu family members are either side branches or a group of people who changed their names. Although they can be called the remnants of the previous dynasty, they are not the bloodline of the Liu family."

Tu Zhizhi's eyes turned cold, and she snorted, "So what if they are not of the Liu family's bloodline? As long as they use the name of the Liu family, those with bad intentions will respond."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Tu Zhizhi took a breath and said, "Chen Changli is a very good chess piece. If he is willing to betray the emperor, Dajing will fall apart in less than half a month. So in the next period of time, we have to cooperate with the Eighth Prince."
