"Didn't you say the prince was dead? Why do you seem to be hoping he's alive now?"

"Chang Xuewei, do you really only hate the prince?"

For several days in a row, no one disturbed Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.

The couple both found it strange and wanted to find out what was going on, but they were trapped in the blood pool and couldn't get out. They could only continue to study the Phoenix Gu. They didn't expect Chang Xuewei to bring such terrible news today.

When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer.

Dajing was in turmoil for several years and the people suffered terribly.

Now various ambitious people are appearing in public to compete for the throne.

Wan Shufang and Chen Changli didn't dare to even think about how miserable life would be for the common people, and could only direct their criticism at Chang Xuewei.

"Of course I only have hatred, but unfortunately I haven't seen the prince's body with my own eyes, so I really can't guarantee you whether he is dead or alive."

Chang Xuewei sighed, changed her tone, and looked a little grim.

"A few days have passed, and you and your wife haven't made any progress. Are you stalling for time?"

"The emperor is dead, the eighth prince is going to Yongzhou, the sixth prince and the ninth prince have already started to capture cities, there are two barbarian countries in Tuyuanzhou to help, and the royal family is also ready to make a move because the emperor's bloodline is not pure."

"Da Jing is already in name only. In this turbulent situation, the reason you and your wife can live a stable life is because of Phoenix Gu and even more so because of me."

Chang Xuewei said this with gritted teeth, staring at Chen Changli dimly, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts.

"You two don't know what's good for you, so I have no choice but to give up the Phoenix Gu."

Her words were not a threat, but a light command.

Wan Shufang quickly figured out the deeper meaning behind it, frowned and looked at her, and after a long while she said, "What do you want to do now?"

Chen Changli sighed slightly, "If you have something to say, just say it nicely. My husband and I seem to be living well on the surface, but in fact we are prisoners. You are kind to us and we are grateful, but if you hide many things from us, we will be worried even if we want to be law-abiding."

He paused for a moment and continued, "You eagerly brought us news from the outside world, and later on you specifically mentioned Phoenix Gu. Could it be that something happened in Luoyang City?"

Upon hearing the news that the emperor had died, Chen Changli's initial feelings were excitement and an indescribable mix of emotions. But when he thought about the queen's fake death, he began to doubt the accuracy of the news.

However, Chang Xuewei later turned the conversation to the Phoenix Gu. Chen Changli could only suppress his thoughts and guess about the situation in Luoyang City.

"Luoyang City is fine, nothing has happened. Don't make random guesses here, think about my problem carefully." Chang Xuewei was dissatisfied with Chen Changli's change of subject, and immediately raised her tone.

Chen Changli smiled and said, "I have been thinking about your question. Unfortunately, you have many secrets and you hate the prince. I am the prince's man, and you have been on guard against me from the beginning. So I can't guess you, nor can I figure out your secrets."

Hearing this calm and indifferent tone, Chang Xuewei always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was for a while, so she could only stare at Chen Changli suspiciously.

Facing Chang Xuewei's gaze calmly, Chen Changli's smile became even gentler, as if a spring breeze was blowing across the earth, making people feel warm.

"Chang Xuewei, the people in the New Heaven Society all have their own problems. With your ability, you shouldn't be able to keep them under control."

"So I guess you will use the Phoenix Gu to turn them into puppets, and then use the Phoenix Gu to target other enemies."

"If the enemy is too powerful and you can't defeat them, I think you will use the Phoenix Gu to turn everyone in the world into monsters."

Chang Xuewei's eyelids twitched slightly when she heard this.

She did have such an idea, but she had such an idea because her mind was too twisted and she didn't even think about the fact that the enemy was too powerful.

Chen Changli had little contact with her, but he could say this. She was shocked.

"Haha, Chen Changli, are you the worm in my stomach? How can you guess what I'm thinking?"

After being shocked, Chang Xuewei admitted without hesitation that she had such an intention.

"But your guess is not quite accurate. I had this plan from the beginning. After all, the people who have been ruled by the emperor are as disgusting as the emperor himself. I hate the emperor, and I also hate these ignorant people."

"If they become weirdos and my puppets, I think they are very lucky."

Wan Shufang had only guessed before and didn't think Chang Xuewei really intended to do this. Now hearing Chang Xuewei say this, she was shocked and frightened.

"You actually have such an idea, Chang Xuewei, you are simply crazy."

Chang Xuewei yelled: "The emperor owes me all this."

Her eyes were slightly red, and crystal clear tears quickly rolled down her cheeks. She looked pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Wan Shufang was not deceived by her aggrieved look. Instead, she felt that it was very hateful for her to behave like this.

"If you hate the emperor, just go find him. Kill him or torture him. It's your revenge after all. Why are you taking your anger out on innocent people?"

"The emperor was indeed a good emperor before. He did a lot of good things to make the people live a good life. But as the emperor grew older, he became more and more stupid. The people's lives seemed to have fallen into the abyss. Not only were they displaced, but their families were also broken up."

"Not to mention that in the past two years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred everywhere, and countless people have been killed and injured. You actually want to turn them into weirdos and make them puppets in your hands. I think you are not only conscienceless, but also a demon with a twisted mind."

"No, to be precise, demons are not as scary as you."

Wan Shufang became more and more excited as she spoke. She was once an ordinary citizen.

She knew very well how bad her life was.

If she hadn't had the hospital space, good medical skills, and finally made a fortune from medicinal materials, Chen Changli would have become a great general.

During the process of fleeing famine, it was impossible for her to protect her family on her own.

Now Chang Xuewei has such a terrible idea and is ready to turn it into reality. Wan Shufang feels despair just thinking about it.

"Chang Xuewei, don't you want to be the emperor? How can an emperor be so cruel to his people? Aren't you afraid of being infamous for eternity?"

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit." Chang Xuewei laughed, "As long as I become the emperor, the history books of later generations will only praise me, and will not spit on me at all."

Chen Changli heard her confident tone and taunted her, "Since you killed everyone, naturally no one will curse you."

Chang Xuewei's face darkened instantly when she heard this: "I won't kill everyone. On the contrary, I will select some lucky people to survive. They will only be loyal to me."

Wan Shufang immediately sarcastically said, "If they are not loyal to you, you will turn them into weirdos. Who would dare to betray you when their lives are threatened?"
