Li Ye saw that she didn't even frown, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind. No matter how he persuaded her, she would not listen, so he sighed and said, "I'm not as good as you."

Tu Zhizhi was annoyed when she heard this: "Li Ye, why do you have to belittle yourself?"

Without waiting for Li Ye to speak, she continued, "You are worried about me, so you want to persuade me to go back. After all, in your heart, my brother and I complement each other, which is the long-term solution."

"It's a pity that my brother has other people to help him. I am a sister who may cause trouble for him. Even if he cares about me, people around him will complain about me."

"Rather than being gossiped by those people and then confronting them and ruining my brother's plan, it is better to stay outside and find ways to weaken my brother's enemies."

Tu Zhizhi was always bothered by the fact that Tu Yuanzhou did not reply in time, so she not only deliberately ignored Li Ye's thoughts, but also deliberately misinterpreted his meaning.

Although Li Ye is not a smart man, he has followed Tu Zhizhi for a long time and he knows Tu Zhizhi very well.

Now that he heard this, Li Ye vaguely guessed what Tu Zhizhi meant.

He felt a little sad in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, so as not to make Tu Zhizhi feel rebellious.

He was silent for a moment and then said, "I will do everything for you. When the struggle between the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince comes to an end, I will go back to Qingzhou."

"Are you worried about your daughter?" Tu Zhizhi thought about it and asked.

Li Ye nodded seriously: "My daughter is only seven years old. She has no relatives around her except servants. If I stay out for too long, I'm afraid she won't recognize me when I return."

After hearing this explanation, Tu Zhizhi smiled slightly and said, "You can go back now."

Li Ye's heart tightened slightly: "But your matter..."

"It's almost over." Tu Zhizhi glanced at the medicine bag, the corners of her lips slightly raised, bringing out a coldness, "Even if Mr. and Mrs. Chen Changli wanted to, they couldn't stop the spread of opium."

"The Eighth Prince covets Phoenix Gu again. The three of them will completely turn against each other, making the situation in Yongzhou even more chaotic. But this way, my chances will be great."

"As for the Ninth Prince, you don't have to worry about him, because he is under the guidance of Cui Yang Xie."

"Zhao Zhen will ruin this matter. It won't be long before he can't take care of himself."

After Tu Zhizhi said this, Li Ye understood what she meant and said immediately: "I have sent people to spread the Afurong, but some rumors are not good for Afurong, so I want to solve this matter before going back."

Tu Zhizhi shook her head: "I will let someone do this, you don't have to interfere. By the way, the smell of opium in the medicine bag is too strong. Do you have any way to reduce the smell?"

She knew what the rumors about opium were, and she immediately wanted to reduce its smell so that people would take opium without knowing it.

"I have also noticed this problem, but I don't have any good solution in the short term." Li Ye also discovered the problem with Afurong and was determined to solve it.

Unfortunately, the people under his command were incompetent, so after a few days, he could only do as Tu Zhizhi said and send out opium as medicine.

"I also want Chen Changli and his wife to take opium." Tu Zhizhi frowned unconsciously when she heard Li Ye's words.

Then she thought of Jiang Xuan, and another idea came to her mind.

After stroking her chin and thinking for a while, she said, "You go and spend a lot of money to find some doctors, and I will go see Ye Yun."

She went out after saying that. Li Ye stayed there for a while and then went out to contact someone to pass on the message.

His actions were not concealed, and soon someone received the news and went to report to the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince, who was discussing Phoenix Gu with Ye Yun, couldn't help but darken his eyes when he heard the report.

"Although I have long known that Tu Zhizhi and his group are not loyal to me, it is still difficult for me to accept this."

Ye Yun heard that there was something behind his words, as if he was waiting for him to give him some advice, and immediately frowned.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking? Do you want to make use of Tu Zhizhi, or do you just want to use her to achieve your goals?"

After hearing this, the Eighth Prince fell into silence, which was rare for him.

The reason why he was frowning in front of Ye Yun was because Wan Shufang's words had left some traces in his heart.

He had to seriously consider what Zhao Zhen said. If he used opium to control the Xie family, would he be able to get the support of the Xie family?

But the opium might have been sent by Lao Liu. Lao Liu is not such a good person and might have other bad intentions.

If he used opium, he might fall into the trap of the Sixth Prince. For this reason, he had complicated feelings towards opium.

This complexity has extended to the present, forcing him to consider the affairs of the Xie family.

"Tu Yuanzhou sent a man named Zhao Zhen. He gave me an idea a few days ago."

"I was very tempted, but when I thought about opium, I suppressed my excitement because I was worried that if I did this, I would make things difficult for Lao Liu."

After much deliberation, the Eighth Prince decided not to hide anything from Ye Yun and immediately told him all his concerns.

"It turns out that the person who has been keeping an eye on me these past few days is called Zhao Zhen." When Ye Yun heard what the eighth prince said, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"He's watching you?" The Eighth Prince was quite surprised. "But my people said that he has been very quiet these days and there has been no movement."

Ye Yun's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard this: "Your Highness, there is something wrong with the people around you. It seems that we have to use Zhao Zhen to check the entire Yongzhou."

The Eighth Prince also thought of this problem, and his expression became solemn. "I'll leave this matter to you. If Zhao Zhen and Tu Zhizhi have any objections, let them come to me."

Ye Yun gladly took over the matter, and then comforted the Eighth Prince, telling him not to worry about Tu Zhizhi's affairs.

"As long as you get the Phoenix Gu, not to mention Tu Zhizhi, even Tu Yuanzhou will have to obey your orders."

Ye Yun's words touched the Eighth Prince's heart, and the Eighth Prince's face was full of smiles.

"Cousin, I have arranged for Chen Changli to stay in the other courtyard. I have to ask you to help me figure out how to turn this Phoenix Gu into a real Phoenix Gu."

Ye Yun quickly said: "I have sent people to find the people from the Gu tribe, but I don't know if King Rong will stop us?"

“Does it have to be someone from the Gu tribe?” The eighth prince felt unhappy when he heard the name Prince Rong.

If Prince Rong had not jumped out to prove the emperor's identity, he would not have been trapped in Yongzhou, so he wanted to cut Prince Rong into pieces to vent his hatred.

Ye Yun looked helpless: "The Gu tribe was destroyed several years ago. The reason I have news about a Gu tribe member now is because King Rong did not cover it up. If we go to find another Gu tribe member, I'm afraid we will have to compete with King Yan."

Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince suddenly asked, "Is it possible that Prince Rong is using this Gu tribe member to set a trap for us?"
