"You want to help the prince?" Chen Changli's expression turned cold. "You deliberately mentioned the prince in front of me. Are you trying to confirm my loyalty to him?"

"That's exactly what I meant." Old Lady Shang estimated her own strength and thought that if Chen Changli went all out, she would not be his match at all.

Rather than tearing her face off and letting Chen Changli kill her in anger, it is better to deal with her.

Thinking so, Old Lady Shang deliberately said some ambiguous words to divert their attention, but she didn't expect that the more she talked, the more she almost exposed herself.

"Do you really have such an idea?" Jiang Xuan felt something was wrong when he heard her suddenly soften her tone.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at her, as if he wanted to stare through her internal organs.

Old Lady Shang let him look at her, but her eyes were always on Chen Changli.

Seeing that he frowned, as if thinking about something, Mrs. Shang's expression became even uglier, "Don't you believe what I said?"

Chen Changli nodded and shook his head: "I didn't intend to believe it at first, but you told me everything about yourself. If I don't believe you, wouldn't it make me look annoying?"

Hearing his hint, Old Lady Shang instantly knew that he had guessed her thoughts and had no intention of exposing them.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said in a more serious tone: "I didn't want to help the prince, but after talking with you guys for so long, I suddenly realized that continuing to talk to you will only make you want to kill me."

"My medical skills are good, but I don't know martial arts. If you are so murderous, how can I survive?"

"I have no choice but to do this in order to survive. Chen Changli, you should have seen through my thoughts. If so, what are you thinking?"

Chen Changli said very seriously: "I want to destroy Afurong. If you don't want to, then I can only attack you."

Jiang Xuan heard the conversation between the two, and his heart couldn't help but pounding: "Don't be impulsive, she might have a fire bomb in her hand. How powerful is this fire bomb? You know, if she is determined to die with us, how can we survive?"

Wan Shufang was also unwilling to believe Old Lady Shang. She stared at Chen Changli with concern, intending to stop him.

Then he thought again that Old Lady Shang deliberately mentioned the prince in front of them, clearly trying to use the prince to divert their attention.

If she stopped Chen Changli, Old Lady Shang might die, but the backup plan she and Jiang Kezhou had made would not be known to anyone.

The subtle fragrance from Chen Changli's body would follow him like a shadow, making him unable to get rid of it.

If the Sixth Prince happens to have a backup plan left by Old Lady Shang, wouldn't Chen Changli become the target of public criticism?

"How do I interpret the secret fragrance?" Wan Shufang asked as her thoughts turned.

Jiang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and then he said righteously: "If you really want to help the prince, then remove the Anxiang."

Old Lady Shang smiled and said, "The reason why I mentioned it in front of you is because it shows my sincerity."

After she said this, she took out a green gourd from her arms.

When Wan Shufang saw the gourd, she became alert.

Old Mrs. Shang noticed the change in her expression, and the corners of her mouth curved up, then quickly lowered.

"I keep all my poisonous insects in gourds. The one in this green gourd is used to track Anxiang."

When she said this, she looked at Wan Shufang and asked earnestly, "Do you know anything about poisonous insects?"

Wan Shufang frowned slightly, but her tone was cold: "I know a little bit, but I don't understand the poisonous insect you mentioned."

Jiang Xuan immediately said: "I don't know much about Gu worms either."

"Why are you two such losers?" Old Lady Shang listened to what they said and couldn't help but suspect that they did it on purpose.

Wan Shufang noticed her suspicion of her and immediately turned cold: "When it comes to Chen Changli, I won't lie."

Jiang Xuan wanted to swear: "I will not lie either, Old Lady Shang, you can doubt me but you can't doubt Wan Shufang. Chen Changli is her husband, and they have a very good relationship, which is not comparable to ordinary people."

"Don't try to test the relationship between the couple with this poisonous insect. They won't buy it."

What Mrs. Shang was about to say was blocked by him.

She rolled her eyes at him unhappily, then stared coldly at Chen Changli. Seeing that he was unwilling to give in for a long time, her thoughts raced as if she was weighing the pros and cons, and she sneered in her heart.

This guy is really stubborn. It's really a waste of the Phoenix Gu to have it on him.

But was the Phoenix Gu really in his body? Why didn't the insect she took out react?

When her thoughts turned to this point, Old Lady Shang thought of what happened during the day when the poisonous insect entered Jiang Kezhou's stomach very quietly, without any movement.

"Phoenix Gu..."

"Afurong must be destroyed. If you don't agree, I can only kill you."

Chen Changli's words were like thunder, crashing down in an instant.

Old Mrs. Shang didn't react at all, as if she had already guessed that he would give such an answer.

Chen Changli understood what was happening. "The secret recipe of opium must not be obtained by the Sixth Prince. Madam Shang, I know you want revenge. That's why you took the olive branch offered by the Sixth Prince without hesitation."

"But I think you only want revenge. As for other things, you won't do it, nor do you bother to do it."

"As a doctor, are you really willing to let the Sixth Prince spread opium, a substance that destroys people's minds, all over the world?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Old Mrs. Shang listened to Chen Changli's confident words and felt that her thoughts had been seen through. She couldn't help but get angry.

"I just feel that something is very strange. I couldn't figure it out before. Now that you ask me this, I suddenly understand it." Chen Changli looked relaxed.

Old Lady Shang's expression changed slightly, and she unconsciously clenched her fists, then loosened them, "What have you figured out?"

She stared at Chen Changli, trying to see the changes in his expression, but she felt that his expression was so obscure that she could not see it clearly.

Her heart suddenly began to beat, but she suppressed it after a long while. She smiled bitterly and said, "You are such a disgusting person. How can Wan Shufang tolerate you? Is it just because of your eloquence?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Wan Shufang meaningfully, as if mocking her for having poor taste.

Wan Shufang snorted coldly: "You cannot question the matters between us as husband and wife."

Chen Changli smiled and nodded: "Madam Shang, I know you don't want to be seen through, but some things must be made clear. Otherwise, if we are on guard against each other, in the end, outsiders will take advantage."

Thinking about this, Chen Changli deliberately raised his voice: "Don't you want revenge? If the Sixth Prince can't help you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can definitely help you. I think you can weigh the pros and cons clearly."
