Chen Changli wanted to do this, but he hadn't figured out what the Eighth Prince was up to, so he had to wait and see.

"I haven't thought of that yet, but when the Eighth Prince comes, I might know what to do."

Jiang Xuan wanted to say something when he heard this, but then he thought it was better for Chen Changli to do so. After all, they only heard about the situation in Yongzhou and didn't know much about it.

If they jump to conclusions, they will easily be led by the nose.

"Let's have breakfast first. Maybe the Eighth Prince will come after breakfast." Wan Shufang thought about it and invited the two of them to have breakfast.

After the meal, the Eighth Prince really came with his people. Wan Shufang couldn't help but frowned when she saw this, because Tu Zhizhi didn't follow him.

Facing the three people's scrutiny, the Eighth Prince said calmly, "What did Tu Zhizhi tell you along the way? Why did Wan Shufang say that to me yesterday?"

After a pause, the Eighth Prince asked again, "What do you guys think? Is Tu Zhizhi really that important to me in your eyes?"

I didn't expect him to ask this. Chen Changli frowned, with suspicion in his eyes that could not be ignored, and a hint of coldness and scrutiny.

The Eighth Prince noticed the change in his eyes and said calmly, "After a night of rest, I have figured out some things. So I am not only very interested in what Tu Zhizhi said to you, but I also want to know some of Tu Zhizhi's thoughts."

He displayed his curious attitude to the fullest, not caring at all about what Chen Changli and the other two would think when they heard this.

Wan Shufang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the Eighth Prince to be so calm.

She couldn't help but suspect that the Eighth Prince did this on purpose in order to gain their trust, but at this moment they were prisoners who were forcibly captured.

Even though the Eighth Prince had cooperated with them briefly before, the grudges between them were still complicated and difficult to sort out.

Given the Eighth Prince's temper, how could he possibly be nice to them?

Jiang Xuan immediately asked, "Eighth Prince, how did Tu Zhizhi treat you? As the person involved, shouldn't you know clearly? Why are you asking us?"

He was really curious. What Tu Zhizhi was doing now was to lay the foundation for the Eighth Prince. Why would he suspect Tu Zhizhi?

"Because Tu Zhizhi is Tu Yuanzhou's sister, although she is capable, I have no control over what she is thinking. I can only guess at will."

The Eighth Prince pretended to be melancholy. If Wan Shufang and the others were very curious and continued to ask questions, he might make himself even more pitiful.

Unfortunately, neither Chen Changli nor Wan Shufang wanted to explore what secrets the Eighth Prince had deliberately revealed under his skin. They just wanted to find out his purpose.

"Since Tu Zhizhi is willing to follow you, it means she will help you wholeheartedly. So if there is any misunderstanding between you, you might as well speak frankly." Wan Shufang suggested kindly.

The Eighth Prince's face turned green when he heard this. Wasn't his meaning obvious? Didn't these people want to understand the situation? Why could they say such a thing?

As his thoughts turned, the Eighth Prince was in a bad mood. He couldn't help but lock his eyes on Chen Changli, wanting to see how his expression changed.

Seeing that his expression remained calm, the Eighth Prince suddenly felt that everything he had done was meaningless, simply because Chen Changli was stubborn.

If he didn't explain clearly, Chen Changli would definitely make wild guesses and then doubt him.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but you seem to be getting colder to me." The Eighth Prince suddenly sighed, "Chen Changli, I killed my father with my own hands. Don't you hate him? I'm helping you to avenge yourself by doing this. You should be grateful to me."

Chen Changli waited patiently, but he didn't expect the Eighth Prince to suddenly say such words. He felt a little confused.

Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan were also shocked by this. Is there anything wrong with the Eighth Prince's brain? The emperor will die because he wanted to seize the throne. This is how he solved the problem of the emperor. Why does he want Chen Changli to be grateful to him?

"I didn't expect that you've become so thick-skinned after not seeing you for a few months." Wan Shufang was silent for a while and suddenly spoke.

Jiang Xuan secretly gave her a thumbs up, but his eyes were staring at the Eighth Prince with extreme vigilance.

Seeing that the three people's expressions were not right, the Eighth Prince's heart skipped a beat. Was there anything wrong with what he said?

Seeing the confusion in the Third Prince's eyes, as if he didn't understand the ambiguity of his words, Chen Changli sighed slightly: "Eighth Prince, if you hadn't killed His Majesty, you wouldn't have become the Prince of Yong, and I wouldn't have fallen into your hands."

"In other words, it is because of what you did that the world has become so chaotic, and my husband and I fell into the hands of the New Heaven Society and suffered a lot of torture and pain."

When Chen Changli said this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile, but there was a hint of bitterness hidden in that smile.

"That is to say, all the sufferings my husband and I have endured are because of you. If you cannot understand this, and you are only trying to make us grateful, I'm afraid that's a bit unreasonable."

Chen Changli said this bluntly, and the Eighth Prince felt embarrassed for a moment.

After a moment, he emphasized, "But if it weren't for me, you and your wife would have died at the hands of your father."

Knowing that the Eighth Prince was thick-skinned, but not expecting him to be this thick-skinned, Jiang Xuan's breathing became heavy and rapid.

He took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and then loosened them, and said in a loud voice: "What is the old emperor going to do? Do you really know it in your heart?"

Wan Shufang said coldly: "Looking at his expression, it's obvious that he doesn't understand. Otherwise, why would he say such a ridiculous thing?"

She narrowed her eyes dangerously, and after a while she smiled and said, "Eighth Prince, don't you want to know why I said that yesterday?"

"I think you want to marry Tu Zhizhi as your queen because you are the same person as the old emperor. Unfortunately, Tu Zhizhi is not from the Da Zhen and Dayun clans, and she cannot be the queen or the virtuous concubine."

"If you marry her, you will benefit in the short term. After all, Tu Zhizhi wants to get into your heart and gain your trust, so she will naturally help you and let you get a lot of benefits."

"But as time goes by, the situation in the world becomes clearer and clearer, and she will only help Tu Yuanzhou with all her strength. As her husband, you will become her stepping stone, allowing him to achieve great merit in front of Tu Yuanzhou."

Wan Shufang deliberately raised her tone and locked her eyes on the Eighth Prince. Seeing that his face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was about to be angry with her, she immediately sneered and interrupted his anger.

"Do you think I underestimated you? No, the emperor was like that too. However, the wife he married was very capable and her family was also very powerful, which is why he rose to the top and became the emperor."

"But your vision is not as good as his, so naturally your achievements are not as good as his. After all, you know what kind of person Tu Zhizhi is worse than I do."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so shocked when I said that yesterday."
