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

The Eighth Prince's pupils shrank in shock, and there seemed to be a flash of hostility in the depths of his eyes, which was impossible to capture. The next moment, he set his gaze on Tu Zhizhi, his tone full of disbelief.

"Why does this woman say that? Tu Zhizhi, are you really attracted to me?"

Tu Zhizhi had said something like this before, and the Eighth Prince was on guard against her and did not take her words seriously.

Now that Wan Shufang said something similar, the Eighth Prince suspected that Tu Zhizhi had said something in front of her that made her have such an understanding.

"I'm not that bored. Besides, this woman is our enemy. She is cunning and insidious. How can you listen to her words?"

Tu Zhizhi did not expect Wan Shufang to suddenly say such a thing. Besides being surprised, she was also more angry and embarrassed that her plan had been exposed.

She glared at the Eighth Prince with hatred on her face, then glared at Wan Shufang with grief and anger, gritting her teeth and saying, "I was wondering why you, a woman, had been so obedient all along the way. So you were planning something like this."

Wan Shufang looked innocent: "What's the idea? I just thought that you two were kind of like a pair of bickering lovers, so I made this guess."

After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at the Eighth Prince and saw that his face was full of disgust, as if he was very unhappy that Tu Zhizhi had anything to do with him. His mind was immediately turning, but his face did not show it, and he looked calm.

"If my guess is wrong, you can just explain it. Why are you so angry? Could it be that you have such a tacit understanding that has not been revealed?"

Wan Shufang deliberately dragged out the last syllable of her words, as if she wanted to be a matchmaker to bring Tu Zhizhi and the Eighth Prince together.

"There is no tacit understanding between us. Stop talking nonsense here and disturbing our minds."

Tu Zhizhi was a beautiful woman. When they first met, the Eighth Prince had feelings for her. After all, at that time, Tu Zhizhi was a maid serving Princess An Qing, and her status was not high, making it easy for him to control her.

But he didn't expect that Tu Zhizhi's real identity was Tu Zhizhi's sister, who was ambitious and ruthless.

Princess An Qing did not hide Tu Zhizhi's identity from him at all. After he met Tu Zhizhi several times, he was frightened by her true face, and the thoughts in his mind naturally disappeared.

Wan Shufang's words now were like a bolt of thunder that struck the Eighth Prince, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, making it difficult for him to accept that he was related to Tu Zhizhi.

He stroked his arm gently, then shook his body to get rid of the goose bumps on his body. The Eighth Prince changed the subject and said, "I have prepared a room for you. You guys go and rest for the night."

The voice deliberately paused for a moment, and the Eighth Prince glanced at Chen Changli with a rather obscure expression, "I will have a good talk with you tomorrow morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people came out from the crowd and respectfully invited Chen Changli and others.

Wan Shufang immediately looked at Chen Changli, and when she saw him nod to her imperceptibly, she put her thoughts aside and left with these people.

"Are you just going to let Wan Shufang go like this?" Tu Zhizhi's eyes dimmed slightly as she watched the three of them leave. She then looked up at the Eighth Prince and asked in pretended confusion.

The Eighth Prince glanced at her, and said meaningfully: "Why do I feel that you care about Wan Shufang?"

When asked in return, Tu Zhizhi remained calm: "A cunning woman is worth my extra attention. As for caring, do you think I would use such a word on her?"

"That's better." The eighth prince snorted coldly, and was about to leave.

Tu Zhizhi quickly stopped him: "Eighth Prince, do you still remember the agreement between us?"

"Of course I remember. Why are you asking? Are you not going to help me anymore?" When the Eighth Prince heard Tu Zhizhi's words, alarm bells rang in his heart.

Tu Zhizhi looked at him meaningfully and said earnestly, "I thought you didn't remember, that's why you care about Wan Shufang's words."

Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, the Eighth Prince's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and said, "Wan Shufang's words are insulting you. As your friend, I really don't want you to be humiliated by her."

After hearing such sophistry, Tu Zhizhi swallowed back the words that were rolling in her throat.

She stared at the Eighth Prince in silence, staring at him until his scalp tingled and he felt uncomfortable all over. Then she sighed and said, "Your Highness, before the world is settled, I will do my best to assist you and will not betray you."

"So if you have any ideas, you can tell me clearly and don't doubt me so much."

"You and I are not enemies, but allies. We prosper together and suffer together."

Tu Zhizhi deliberately emphasized the tone of the last sentence, then left shaking her head.

Her attitude surprised the Eighth Prince. He could not help but stare at her leaving figure. It took him a long time to look away, and he frowned with some doubt.

"Tu Zhizhi, why do I feel like you've changed?"

The whisper was like the breeze that drifted away with the wind, and the Eighth Prince thought about it and went to find Ye Yun.

His whereabouts were heard by Tu Zhizhi in less than a quarter of an hour.

Tu Zhizhi looked even more puzzled. Li Ye came in with a medicine bag and placed it in front of her. "Ye Yun is just a weak scholar. Why are you afraid of him?"

"He is indeed a scholar, but don't forget that he is also the cousin of the Eighth Prince." Tu Zhizhi put the medicine bag to her nose and sniffed it, only to smell a strong scent of opium.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled at Li Ye, "The Eighth Prince has only one relative. If he has any ideas, no matter how unwilling the Eighth Prince is, he will listen to his words a little bit because of the kinship they share."

When Li Ye heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, "Could it be that the Eighth Prince would suspect you because of him?"

"I have such a guess, but the facts require evidence, otherwise the Eighth Prince will turn a deaf ear and make Ye Yun and me abandoned pawns." Tu Zhizhi restrained her expression and spoke in a serious tone.

The Eighth Prince is easily influenced by others, but he is too opinionated and conceited.

Even if Tu Zhizhi wanted to control him, she had to be cautious and flatter him.

Ye Yun would not do so, so if the two of them were to confront each other, either Ye Yun would be the winner, or both of them would be abandoned by the Eighth Prince.

After all, the Eighth Prince wanted the throne so badly that whoever dared to stop him would be his enemy.

"Miss, why don't we go back to Qingzhou?" Although Li Ye was worried about Tu Zhizhi's situation, he felt that there was no conflict between the siblings and always believed that returning to Qingzhou was the best option.

Tu Zhizhi's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said, "Qingzhou is the birthplace of my brother and me. I must go back. Otherwise, what should I do if my brother doesn't recognize me as his sister?"

When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but frown for a moment.

Tu Zhizhi threw the medicine bag to him and said earnestly: "I stayed with the Eighth Prince not only to keep a backup plan for myself, but also to help my brother. Li Ye, you have to help me instead of letting me escape blindly."
