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

When the Eighth Prince saw that Lin Jing’s eyes were red, he felt that the oath was like a bolt from the blue that suddenly hit him on the head, leaving his mind blank.

After a while, the Eighth Prince came back to his senses, staring at Lin Jing with a puzzled look on his face, and suddenly smiled and said, "Master Lin, this prince was just joking with you, why are you so indignant?"

There was a question in his words, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to let Lin Jing go.

Wan Shufang was a little worried about Lin Jing, and was about to respond to the question to divert the Eighth Prince's attention, but she didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would set his eyes on her the next moment.

"Lord Lin swore and swore all this for you. Seeing this, don't you feel guilty?"

Wan Shufang was too lazy to complain about the Eighth Prince's sarcastic tone and just glanced at Lin Jing.

Seeing him looking at her worriedly, Wan Shufang nodded to him quickly to show that she was fine. Then she lowered her eyes so as not to let the Eighth Prince see the displeasure in her eyes.

"As a member of the royal family, your words are enough to bring ruin to Doctor Wei and me, so Lord Lin just wants you to find out the truth about His Majesty, and not let us suffer an injustice for your own selfish reasons."

Emphasizing the tone of the last sentence, Wan Shufang thought of the Eighth Prince's stubbornness and looked up at him deliberately.

Seeing that he looked puzzled and didn't seem to have taken her words full of sarcasm into account, Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Of course, I also took your words into account, so the life and death of Doctor Wei and I depends entirely on your mood."

"And Lord Lin tried to save us out of concern. His relationship with us is not as dirty as you think."

Wan Shufang's words were still straightforward and bold. From her words and expression, there was no sign that she had any awe for the imperial power.

The Eighth Prince looked at Wan Shufang with a little surprise. He was sure that she was more calm than he could imagine and had no fear of death at all. He was stunned for a moment.

After a breath, the Eighth Prince came back to his senses and said sarcastically, "As expected of Chen Changli's wife, your bold and rebellious nature is really similar to his. No wonder you and your wife are so close to the Crown Princess and her husband."

"I think you are not motivated by interests, but by the same bad taste. If I want to deal with you, it is useless to shout and kill you. I must let you fall to the bottom and see the tragedy of this world before you are willing to lower your heads."

The Eighth Prince's words seemed to be talking about Chen Changli and his wife, but in fact he was mocking the Crown Prince and his wife.

After hearing the last part, Wan Shufang looked at the Eighth Prince with complicated eyes. Seeing the jealousy on his face that seemed to be twisting him, she smiled and said, "So you are jealous of the Crown Prince."

"Who is the prince? Why would I be jealous of him? Don't talk nonsense." The eighth prince immediately denied it.

Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows but did not comment.

Lin Jing looked up at her, then glanced at the Eighth Prince out of the corner of his eye.

Noticing that he was breathing rapidly and his chest was shaking, as if he was very angry, Lin Jing immediately understood that the Eighth Prince hated the Crown Prince, which was why his tone could not conceal the jealousy surging in his heart when he mentioned the Crown Prince.

Lin Jing curled his lips slightly, then respectfully bowed to the Eighth Prince and said sincerely, "Eighth Prince, I have absolutely no intention of harming Your Majesty. Please understand."

Without waiting for the Eighth Prince to refute, Lin Jing specifically mentioned Tu Zhizhi: "The woman named Tu Zhizhi managed to hide in Luoyang City and meet Chen Changli. Now Chen Changli is waiting outside the palace to see His Majesty and report the matter."

Upon hearing about Tu Zhizhi, the Eighth Prince flew into a rage: "Tu Zhizhi was so badly injured that she should have died. How could she still have the energy to plot against others? Could it be that Luoyang City has been infiltrated by her?"

Lin Jing emphasized his tone: "Tu Zhizhi is a spy who followed Princess An Qing to Dajing. She hides behind Princess An Qing and may use Princess An Qing's connections to take Luoyang City."

"The death of Concubine De and your current anger, Your Highness, may have been expected by her. I think what we should do now is to catch Tu Zhizhi instead of blaming Wan Shufang for possibly poisoning Your Majesty."

Lin Jing came here this time just to protect Wan Shufang. Seeing that the atmosphere was right, he would of course exonerate Wan Shufang and prevent the Eighth Prince from succeeding in his false accusation.

"Your Highness, although I haven't had much contact with Wan Shufang, the few times I met her were enough to leave me with a deep impression of her."

"I think that even if Wan Shufang had the guts to poison Your Majesty, she would not do it, because Chen Changli is a general of Dajing and a minister of Your Majesty."

"She and Chen Changli have such a good relationship, how could she put Chen Changli in an unjust position?"

Every word he said was a reminder to the Eighth Prince that no matter how brave Wan Shufang was, she had to bow down to Chen Changli. Chen Changli loved his wife dearly, and he would do anything for Wan Shufang.

The Eighth Prince uttered a sinister sentence from between his teeth: "Chen Changli appears to be a gentleman, but secretly a villain. Wan Shufang is his woman, and the couple is one. I'm afraid they have had ulterior motives for a long time."

"What are your plans, Your Highness? Are you going to kill them?" Lin Jing felt nervous when he heard the Eighth Prince's tone.

He advised carefully: "How did His Majesty die? We cannot judge based on your words alone. We must let the remaining ministers come to witness it. Otherwise, if an innocent person dies unjustly, the ministers will also feel sympathetic and feel sorry for him."

After saying this, he quickly winked at the people around him, asking them to go and invite those ministers over.

However, before the man left, Chen Changli rushed in with a group of ministers.

"Your Highness, the strange man has made unusual moves, and the thief who is among us has been found. That person is the newly appointed prefect of Luoyang City."

Before Chen Changli's men arrived, the voice came in, instantly causing the Eighth Prince's face to change from gloomy to uncertain.

After pondering Chen Changli's words, the Eighth Prince's expression changed drastically: "What do you mean by the weirdos are moving? Aren't those weirdos trapped?"

The Eighth Prince had witnessed with his own eyes how terrifying the monsters were. If something went wrong with so many monsters, wouldn’t Luoyang City become a dead city?

"What is going on here, Chen Changli? Are you behind this?"

The food problem has not been solved yet. If something happens to the weirdo again, what will happen to his many plans?

"I would never dare to have such courage, nor do I have such ability." Chen Changli's face remained calm when he heard the eighth prince's doubtful words.

The Eighth Prince did not believe it and was furious: "The weirdo was fine before, but he became a problem after Wan Shufang harmed my father. If it's not you who is causing trouble, then who is it?"

He was so angry that he ignored the strange looks from other ministers and ordered his men to arrest Chen Changli with a wave of his hand.

Chen Changli remained motionless, speaking calmly, "Your Highness, Prince Rong had already evacuated last night. In other words, Prince Rong had already planned for the food shortage. If we fight among ourselves, we will only kill each other and be trapped to death in Luoyang City."

The Eighth Prince was shocked: "Prince Rong left? How is that possible?"
