Lin Jingwen's mind was full of thoughts after hearing this. After a moment, he said, "The letter you wrote pretending to be Zhao Zhen should alert the Eighth Prince, but Tu Zhizhi is eloquent and Ye Yun is his only relative."

"Neither of these two is easy to deal with. If they realize that something is wrong, they may join forces to deal with the Eighth Prince."

"Under the circumstances where the Eighth Prince himself is in danger, even if he guesses something and knows that he might be used as a puppet, he will probably just sit there and let the two of them fight and decide the winner."

It turned out that the letter the Eighth Prince received was written by Han Yi pretending to be Zhao Zhen. His purpose was to use the contents of the letter to make the Eighth Prince realize how unreliable the people around him were.

After receiving the letter, the Eighth Prince's emotions fluctuated, so much so that Ye Yun saw his irritable mood and wanted to comfort him and let him suppress his temper.

Unexpectedly, the Eighth Prince would leave suddenly, and Ye Yun chased after him again.

"The Eighth Prince's temper is not as good as the Fourth Prince's. No wonder he was unknown before. I think Concubine De also knows her son's temper, so she made a deal with Tu Yuanzhou and tried to use Tu Yuanzhou to protect her son."

As Han Yi listened to Lin Jing's words, all kinds of thoughts ran through his mind, and he suddenly thought of the deceased Princess An Qing.

"Unfortunately, Princess An Qing had her own plans and was not willing to let the Eighth Prince meet Tu Yuanzhou as she wished. As a result, the Eighth Prince was trapped in Luoyang City and was schemed by the old emperor."

Lin Jing heard the hidden meaning in his words and rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "Princess An Qing first appeared in Luoyang City, intending to use the fake prince to stir up trouble. The old emperor saw through this, so she had to settle for the second best and chose the eighth prince."

"As a smart person, how could Concubine De not know this? But she still chose to cooperate with Princess An Qing."

"On the one hand, she couldn't let go of the hatred in her heart, and on the other hand, it was probably because the Eighth Prince made her worried, which made her choose to send the Eighth Prince to Tu Yuanzhou."

"This decision by Concubine De is actually a good one, but man proposes, God disposes. The Eighth Prince is now being targeted by Tu Zhizhi, and it is also because of Concubine De's previous calculations."

Having said this, Lin Jing reached out and touched his beard, and a dark light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"It's true that Ye Yun is the eighth prince's cousin, but his ability is not as good as Tu Zhizhi. The eighth prince may hesitate for a while and choose Tu Zhizhi directly."

"And the time he is struggling with is the opportunity for Chen Changli to contact us, so we have to keep an eye on the Eighth Prince's situation at all times and not miss any news from Chen Changli."

Lin Jing said this in one breath, and immediately glanced at Han Yi. Seeing that his brows were relaxed, as if he had heard his words, he immediately continued with a smile.

"I know you are very anxious and want to rescue the people as soon as possible and then return to Bashu, but there are also many things going on in Yongzhou City."

"If we neglect other things because of impatience, we will probably regret it when we look back on it later. In short, we have to keep a calm mind."

When it comes to the issue of mentality, Lin Jing can't help but feel complicated.

He and Ye Xuan had already discussed everything. Originally, he was supposed to come here alone, but Han Yi was worried about him and followed him here.

Hanyi is the prince's confidant arranged in Bashu. His ability is not that strong, but his research on personal connections far exceeds that of others.

For this reason, as soon as Han Yi and he arrived in Yongzhou City, they contacted the people they had made friends with before, trying to get close to the Eighth Prince.

He discovered that Tu Zhizhi and Ye Yun regarded the area around the Eighth Prince as their own territory and that anyone who dared to approach the Eighth Prince would be targeted by them, so he deliberately disguised Zhao Zhen's handwriting and wrote a letter to the Eighth Prince.

Their original intention was to hope that the Eighth Prince would be wary of Ye Yun and Tu Zhizhi, and then take action to eliminate the people around them.

They could take this opportunity to rearrange personnel, or go in person to serve as the Eighth Prince's aide for a period of time. However, they never expected that the Eighth Prince's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

"If the Eighth Prince is willing to give up fighting for the world, Bashu will have a place for him." Han Yi's voice was filled with sighs, "It's a pity that he thinks he is a descendant of the royal family, how can he be willing to give up?"

Han Yi already knew clearly what abilities the princes had, and he didn't think these people could be a match for the crown prince.

When the news of the old emperor's death came out, he wanted to win over some princes and let them fight against Tu Yuanzhou or Prince Rong together. However, he did not expect that within just a few months, these princes would act on their own.

Seeing that the situation in the world was becoming increasingly chaotic, Han Yi could only be thankful that the prince had chosen Bashu in the first place.

The situation in Bashu was even more complicated, and the struggles among ethnic minorities were also very fierce, which made those people with lofty ideals stay away from Bashu.

As soon as Ye Xuan and Lin Jing arrived, he wanted to take these two people to unify Bashu so that the prince would have no worries.

No one would have thought that the Eighth Prince would come to Yongzhou. As Tu Yuanzhou's sister, Tu Zhizhi actually secretly sent people to Bashu.

The reason why Han Yi followed Lin Jing to Yongzhou was actually because he had noticed this.

He suspected that the Eighth Prince would choose Yongzhou because of Tu Zhizhi's suggestion.

He was worried that Tu Zhizhi would discover something, so he instigated the Eighth Prince to deal with the Crown Prince.

For this reason, he was very vigilant and didn't want the Eighth Prince to be surrounded by so many evil spirits.

He was shocked and had to be on high alert.

"As for Zhao Zhen's affairs, we still have to find a way to keep an eye on him. We can't let the Eighth Prince get out of control because of him."

Pulling his beard and thinking for a long time, Han Yi gave Lin Jing detailed instructions, then looked at the sky, thought it was about time, so he put on black clothes and left.

Lin Jing originally wanted to send him off, but he was stopped by him, so he stayed where he was.

He was unlucky and fell ill not long after arriving in Yongzhou.

Hanyi took a lot of effort to get medicine for him.

He didn't want to fall behind, so he had to take the medicine well and wait for Chen Changli's reaction.

"The Eighth Prince's temper has changed so obviously. Chen Changli is calm and intelligent. He should have made some guesses."

With hope in his heart, Lin Jing slept well all night. The next day, he found that Hanyi had not returned yet. He didn't care and went out to observe the situation.

Unexpectedly, not long after he went out, he bumped into someone who looked familiar.

The man seemed to recognize him and looked at him quietly for a long while. Then he suddenly came to him and lowered his voice so that only he could hear it.

"You are the old emperor's cousin, Lin Jing."

Before going out, Lin Jing deliberately disguised himself. He was sure that even if Ye Xuan appeared here, he would not be able to recognize his identity. However, he did not expect that a person who appeared inexplicably would identify him.

"What Lin Jing? I've never heard of this person." Feeling uneasy, Lin Jing lowered his voice, not daring to let others hear.

"My name is Wen Baicao. It is my great honor to meet you here." Seeing that Lin Jing did not admit his identity, Wen Baicao sneered.

Lin Jing was so shocked that his pupils shrank slightly, and his face turned pale unconsciously, "You are still alive!"
