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

Tu Zhizhi's eyes, which were originally slightly narrowed, widened unconsciously because of the Eighth Prince's words.

"You are right. Besides, the old emperor has long believed that the prince is dead. If he suddenly appears, who in the world would dare to believe him?"

Having said this, Tu Zhizhi glanced at the Eighth Prince subtly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up in a sarcastic arc.

She and her brother Tu Yuanzhou are the grandchildren of Prince Mingde. In terms of legitimacy, who else is qualified except them?

The Eighth Prince knew the identities of their siblings, but he was still willing to believe her. It was really stupid.

After stroking his chin and thinking for a long time, the Eighth Prince smiled and said, "I heard that Chen Changli has many capable people under his command. If these people are won over, no matter how powerful the Ninth Prince is, he can't hurt me."

When Tu Zhizhi heard this, her expression froze slightly. The Eighth Prince actually had such an idea. No wonder he suddenly mentioned the Crown Prince. It seemed that he wanted to use the Crown Prince to attack Chen Changli.

"Chen Changli is a fierce general. He fought on the battlefield for ten years before he caught the old emperor's eye. These ten years were enough for him to gather a group of loyal subordinates."

Tu Zhizhi suddenly remembered that the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince had both tried to win over Chen Changli, and her voice gradually became a little shaky.

"The Third and Fourth Princes may have seen this and tried to win him over. When that failed, they wanted to take ruthless action. However, they did not expect that they would attract the attention of the old emperor."

"Now that the old emperor is gone, the crown prince may also be gone. Chen Changli is quite capable. If you are willing, you can definitely find a way to win him over."

Tu Zhizhi stared at the Eighth Prince as she spoke, as if trying to tell if he was interested.

The Eighth Prince was indeed somewhat tempted, but he could not forget what Chen Changli had done in Luoyang City.

He would rather find a way to get rid of Chen Changli than waste time trying to win him over.

"Chen Changli is indeed capable, but it's a pity that he and I are destined not to be together. Instead of wasting time on him, it's better to cut the grass and root it out so that he can never stir up trouble again."

As soon as the eighth prince made up his mind, he immediately sent people to kill Chen Changli.

Tu Zhizhi did not stop him. She also wanted to take this opportunity to find out Chen Changli's abilities.

If Chen Changli could survive, she would find a way to talk to him.

If they couldn't come to an agreement, she would kill him at all costs to prevent him from causing trouble for Tu Yuanzhou.

"By the way, my brother recently sent someone to contact the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince was arrogant and didn't take my brother's people seriously. Your Highness, although my brother and you are enemies, you can still cooperate before the outcome is determined, so I want you to meet with my brother's people."

Tu Zhizhi and the other Eighth Princes arranged everything and mentioned it specifically.

"Your brother's people?" The Eighth Prince's expression did not change, but his heart was sinking.

When did Tu Zhizhi contact Tu Yuanzhou? Why did his people go to find the Ninth Prince instead of coming directly to him?

With doubts in his heart, the Eighth Prince's eyes were very obscure, as if he was examining Tu Zhizhi.

"I just received the news yesterday. If I wasn't investigating Afurong, I would have told you about it a long time ago."

Tu Zhizhi keenly noticed the change in the Eighth Prince's eyes when he looked at her, but she was not panicked at all and just made a light comment.

Her attitude was too indifferent, and the Eighth Prince knew her well enough to know that she would not lie about this matter, so his tense heartstrings eased a little.

He thought about Tu Zhizhi's words for a moment, and made a decision in his heart, "Let him come to see me."

Upon hearing this, Tu Zhizhi immediately went to make arrangements.

Staring at her leaving figure, the Eighth Prince slowly clenched his fists, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "Tu Zhizhi, what on earth are you planning, woman?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came out from the darkness.

He glanced at the empty doorway, his eyes flickered, and he said after a long pause, "Your Highness, Tu Zhizhi is Tu Yuanzhou's sister after all. Although she had to choose to cooperate with you because of the New Heaven Society, Tu Yuanzhou is trying to recruit all the talents in the world under the banner of Prince Mingde."

"As his biological sister, how could Tu Zhizhi really help you? Besides, Crown Prince Mingde was loved by the late emperor. If it weren't for the old emperor's instigation, he would never have been deposed."

"As relatives of Prince Mingde, Tu Zhizhi and Tu Yuanzhou naturally have the confidence to fight for the world."

"So I think Tu Zhizhi is not sincere to you. She just wants to use you to get rid of the other princes and help Tu Yuanzhou take over the power that belongs to you."

After hearing this, the Eighth Prince thought thoughtfully. After a while, he looked at his hands. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that his health was much worse than before, as if Tu Zhizhi had secretly attacked him.

Thinking that Tu Zhizhi might attack him, the coldness in the Eighth Prince's eyes was enough to freeze a person's soul. "Tu Zhizhi is still useful to me, so I will not kill her in the short term."

When the man heard what the Eighth Prince said, a bit of surprise gradually emerged in his eyes. He said firmly: "Your Highness, are you trying to turn the tables? But as far as I know, Tu Yuanzhou has won over two barbarian countries."

The Eighth Prince showed a mocking expression: "Although these two countries were defeated by Chen Changli, the emperor is dead, and Chen Changli's troops have also dispersed. They will naturally covet the Central Plains. Tu Yuanzhou is courting disaster by trying to win them over."

The man smiled. "That's true, but when the world is still uncertain, the help from these two countries cannot be ignored."

"What do you mean by that?" The Eighth Prince's expression gradually became serious when he heard this. "Do you want me to be Yuanzhou's apprentice?"

The Eighth Prince had previously wanted to join Tu Yuanzhou and then secretly seize power, so he had also considered the help of Quanrong and Hehe.

But things changed rapidly. His mother died and Princess An Qing went back on her word. Even if he wanted to, he was powerless and could only go with the flow.

Now that he had finally occupied Yongzhou and proclaimed himself king, he naturally had to be strict with himself and then conquer the world. As for the two barbarian countries, Quanrong and Hehe, although he was wary of them, he did not take them seriously.

"That's not what I meant." The man's voice softened a little. "I just think that although Tu Yuanzhou will burn himself, he will have a huge advantage with the help of these two countries."

"If we want to deal with him, we have to use these two countries to make him suffer the consequences."

"What do you think?" Hearing the man's words, the Eighth Prince's heart came alive.

The man smiled softly: "The people of Dajing hate these two countries very much."

These words made the Eighth Prince silent for a while, his eyes lit up slightly, but after a moment his face became sad again.

"Your suggestion is very good, but I am worried that Tu Zhizhi will go crazy and kill me before my news gets out. Besides, there is still the hidden danger of the Xintian Society in Yongzhou that has not been completely resolved. For the time being, I really can't lose Tu Zhizhi."
