Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 1409: Drawing Water from a Bamboo Basket and Empty Game
Wan Shufang's words were full of ridicule, but she did not take the Eighth Prince seriously.
After hearing this, the Eighth Prince smiled slightly and spoke very politely, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling, as if he was not an ambitious prince, but a scholar who was dedicated to serving the world.
"No matter how scheming Tu Zhizhi is, she is still helping me. After weighing the pros and cons, even if I have doubts about her, I have to use her and not let her betray me."
Wan Shufang felt that his words were meaningful and couldn't help but raise her voice and asked, "Does Tu Zhizhi have any intention of betraying you? As outsiders, we don't know. As someone she helped, you should know whether she is sincere to you."
The Eighth Prince couldn't bear to hear the word "sincerely" and immediately said with a cold expression: "Do you care about this?"
After he said that, he stared at Chen Changli subtly, as if observing the changes in his expression, trying to find out whether Wan Shufang had discussed this with Chen Changli.
Chen Changli noticed his gaze and instantly knew what he was thinking.
He wanted to refute it and tell the Eighth Prince to stop having such wild thoughts.
However, when he thought of the Eighth Prince's strange idea, he felt that if he spoke up, the Eighth Prince would probably force him to be grateful. After all, the Eighth Prince was extremely thick-skinned and he really could not compare to him.
"My wife doesn't care about this." Chen Changli's thoughts turned, but he was still unwilling to let Wan Shufang take the lead. "She just wanted to know something, but she didn't expect that the Eighth Prince was unwilling to answer her questions."
Doubt? When the Eighth Prince heard these two words, he realized belatedly what the three people in front of him were thinking.
His expression changed, but his eyes were extremely obscure and difficult to understand.
At first, he didn't want to mention Tu Zhizhi in front of these three people. He just wanted to get straight to the point and let Chen Changli cooperate with him happily.
However, after seeing the three people, he suddenly asked that question.
After asking, he felt a little regretful, but the marriage was like a nightmare that had been recurring in his mind for the past few days.
He really couldn't make up his mind, but he was thinking about Xie's background.
He wanted to get an accurate answer from Chen Changli and the other two, and then make up his mind to take action against the Xie family, but he didn't want to let these three people have wild thoughts.
"I have questions too. If you can answer them, I would be happy to help you." The Eighth Prince suddenly understood everything and couldn't help but smile calmly.
"Your Highness, do you have any questions?" Wan Shufang looked surprised.
The Eighth Prince occupied Yongzhou and competed with the Ninth Prince. On the surface, he seemed to be at a disadvantage, but he still had a disciple, Zhizhi, to help him.
As long as Tu Zhizhi contacts Tu Yuanzhou and the two siblings have the same goal, how could the Eighth Prince lose to the Ninth Prince?
Therefore, whether it was Wan Shufang or Chen Changli, they initially just wanted to destroy Afurong, and then take the opportunity to sow discord, and never thought that they would meet the Eighth Prince again.
"Your Highness, is your question related to Tu Zhizhi or the Ninth Prince?" Chen Changli asked after thinking for a moment.
Jiang Xuan immediately perked up after hearing this, staring intently at the Eighth Prince, and said earnestly: "Since Tu Zhizhi chose to cooperate with you, she will naturally do her best to help you. But the Ninth Prince is different. He wants to take over Yongzhou, so he is your enemy."
"But even if he is your enemy, it does not change the fact that he is your brother, so your entanglement and confusion probably lies between these two."
The Eighth Prince pondered over his words in his mind, but he didn't expect that before he could figure out a clue, Jiang Xuan continued speaking.
"As Prince Yong, you should have many capable people under your command. If Tu Zhizhi is useless, you have to promote them. Why are you coming to us for an answer?"
"Let's not talk about whether we are willing to answer or not. Let's just talk about the conflicts between us. Do you think we can really be honest with each other when we are hostile and have so many conflicts?"
Jiang Xuan deliberately asked back, but glanced behind the Eighth Prince out of the corner of his eye to see how they would react.
He found that they all looked calm, as if the Eighth Prince's words had only touched their heartstrings but had not entered their hearts at all.
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but become alert, his body slightly tense.
"Can we be honest? That depends on whether the benefits offered by both parties are satisfactory."
The Eighth Prince glanced at Jiang Xuan and saw that his face was tense. He seemed alert and guarding against something, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
Then he thought about how Jiang Xuan betrayed the New Heaven Society and chose Chen Changli and his wife, so it was understandable that he was so vigilant. He let out a breath and calmed down.
"Jiang Xuan, you are helping them so much, isn't it because they can give you huge benefits?"
"What this prince can give you is beyond your imagination, so if you are interested, you should persuade them well, instead of suspecting that this prince will plot against you."
He kept calling Jiang Xuan "this prince" in front of him, and it was obvious that he didn't take Jiang Xuan seriously.
Jiang Xuan knew this very well, and he glanced at him immediately, and said calmly: "Some things are not what you want them to be, after all, human hearts are hard to predict."
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince smiled coldly and said, "No matter how unpredictable the human heart is, it cannot compare to human ambition."
Hearing that he was pointing at him, Jiang Xuan's face turned ugly.
He always felt that the Eighth Prince regarded him as a traitor to the New Heaven Society and wanted him to destroy the entire New Heaven Society and contribute to his great cause.
He really wanted to tell the Eighth Prince that if he had such patience, he would have taken control of the Xintianhui long ago and come out to compete with the other princes for the world. Why would he still follow Chen Changli and his wife?
"Human ambitions are endless. If they cannot be satisfied, they will only breed an ungrateful wolf that devours its master."
Jiang Xuan tried hard to suppress his emotions, looking at the Eighth Prince calmly with a rather sarcastic tone.
"Are you the ungrateful bastard?" Hearing his implication, the Eighth Prince deliberately asked back.
Jiang Xuan was choked by these words and almost vomited blood.
"You two, please don't argue over trivial matters." Seeing the two of them arguing with each other, Chen Changli immediately spoke up to stop them.
Jiang Xuan looked at him, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, he didn't know what he was thinking about, he swallowed his words back and said nothing.
The Eighth Prince smiled at Chen Changli, his tone gentle and elegant: "We have cooperated in Luoyang City. Although your verbal cooperation at that time was to help my father plot against me, with your help, I have eliminated many people with ulterior motives."
"Now the news that you have the Phoenix Gu has spread all over the world. People with ulterior motives want to cut you open and take out the Phoenix Gu, but I don't have such an idea. So our cooperation can still continue. It depends on whether you are willing or not."
The eighth prince's eager words to recruit talents instantly shocked Jiang Xuan and Wan Shufang.
Chen Changli was not surprised at all. He said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I am also loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You are destined to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's enemy. Therefore, we have different ideals and cannot work together. We cannot achieve true cooperation."
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince's eyes flashed with anger: "Whether the Seventh Prince is dead or alive, no one can give an accurate answer. You care about him so much and do things for him wholeheartedly. Aren't you afraid that your efforts will be in vain?"
