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

Upon hearing Tu Zhizhi's order, many guards immediately took ruthless action. No matter how powerful the spies were, they could not defeat four hands with two fists.

Fortunately, the person who came to rescue him was quite strong and managed to take the injured him away from Prince Yong’s Mansion.

"You bunch of trash, what's the use of you if we can't even kill a few assassins?" Tu Zhizhi thought that if she was ruthless, the assassins would only leave their lives here, but she didn't expect that they could escape.

She was so angry that she cursed her own people. The Eighth Prince came and heard her cursing.

"What's there to be angry about?" The Eighth Prince frowned slightly. "The fact that the assassins were able to escape shows that they are capable. This also shows that our arrangements also have weaknesses. We must inspect the palace as soon as possible and fill in all the weaknesses."

Tu Zhizhi almost laughed out of anger when she heard his nonchalant tone, "Do you know who these assassins are?"

"Either he was sent by the Ninth Prince, or he is related to Chen Changli." The Eighth Prince looked certain.

Tu Zhizhi was choked by these words and felt empty inside, because the Eighth Prince's words revealed the identity of the assassin.

She wanted to use this opportunity to vent her anger, but she was afraid that this would offend the Eighth Prince and make him very unhappy.

"There was a fire where Chen Changli lived. I suspect he started the fire on purpose in order to let these assassins leave safely." Tu Zhizhi tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart and looked at the Eighth Prince calmly.

"In this case, let's interrogate Chen Changli. I believe he will give a reasonable explanation." said the Eighth Prince.

Tu Zhizhi was shocked after hearing this. Is the Eighth Prince serious?

However, seeing his indifferent expression, as if he had already known the assassin's identity and didn't take it to heart at all, Tu Zhizhi suddenly felt like a clown.

She rubbed her face, then opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, so she could only leave holding her anger.

When the Eighth Prince saw that she had given up, his eyes darkened, but he ordered people to continue tracking the assassin, while he took some people to see Chen Changli.

"I really underestimated you."

Seeing that Chen Changli and the other two had to stay in the yard because their house was burned, the Eighth Prince immediately showed a look of irony.

Upon hearing his voice, Chen Changli turned around and looked at him without changing his expression, but he was full of sarcasm, as if he knew how he got angry.

Chen Changli kindly explained: "I didn't mean to burn down the whole yard. After all, you were nice to me, and I didn't want to cause you any trouble. I never thought that someone would help me, and this person has a close relationship with Tu Zhizhi."

The decoration of Prince Yong’s Mansion is very luxurious, which shows that the Eighth Prince loves luxury.

Although Chen Changli wanted to cause trouble to divert Tu Zhizhi's attention, he was unwilling to burn down the houses and give the Eighth Prince an excuse to plunder the people's wealth.

He never thought that someone wanted to stir up trouble and actually set a fire. If he had not reacted quickly and woke up Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan early, the three of them would have been burned to death.

"Everyone in Prince Yong's Mansion is my people. How could they help you?" The Eighth Prince felt that Chen Changli was not telling the truth, and his tone became more and more sarcastic.

After almost being burned to death, Wan Shufang thought of the night when she was trapped in the Imperial Hospital. She was still frightened. The Eighth Prince's words completely hit her in the heart.

She said angrily, "This fire is coming with such force that it's obviously going to kill us. The three of us can't even spare our lives, so how can we possibly gain your trust in this way?"

She was sleeping soundly, if Chen Changli hadn't heard the noise and got up to check what was going on.

Then he received news from the secret spy and prepared to discuss with her and Jiang Xuan. When they were fast asleep, they would either be burned by fire or smoked by smoke. There was no way they would stay in front of the Eighth Prince and listen to his sarcasm.

Moreover, the spy's tracks were discovered, and although Chen Changli did want to help, his original intention was to fight with the guards and lure Tu Zhizhi over.

Before he could act, a feather arrow filled with kerosene shot in.

The fire rose with the wind, and they were so scared that they almost thought that the Eighth Prince was using the secret spy to get rid of them.

"If you don't believe us, you can ask someone to check. The three of us stayed in the yard, but we didn't do anything and we didn't come into contact with anyone."

Having said this, Wan Shufang took a deep breath to calm down her anger, then pointed to the place where the fire first started.

"So even if we risk our lives, we can't bring in the kerosene that burned the yard."

When the Eighth Prince heard the word kerosene, he became somewhat skeptical.

"Go check it out." He immediately ordered someone, and then secretly observed the surroundings, trying to find out whether Chen Changli and his wife were lying.

Before he could observe anything, the person who went to investigate in the direction pointed by Wan Shufang brought back a result.

"Your Highness, we found several burnt arrows in that place, and there was a smell of kerosene where the arrows landed."

"It can be seen that the lady was not lying. The fire was not caused by someone else. Someone deliberately used a feather arrow dipped in kerosene to ignite the fire."

The Eighth Prince was shocked: "How is this possible?"

This is Prince Yong's Mansion, his territory. Who on earth allowed such an incident to happen right under his nose, and what is his intention in doing this?

"Chen Changli, did you see the true face of the person who shot the arrow?" The eighth prince felt more and more that something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.

He thought of the letter he had received a few days ago, which said that everyone around him had ulterior motives.

If he doesn't eliminate these people, he might be used as a puppet by them.

Although he was skeptical about the contents of the letter before, he was afraid that he would be sidelined, so he sent someone to investigate.

In just a few days, he investigated a lot of things and naturally knew Ye Yun and Tu Zhizhi's plan.

However, Ye Yun is his cousin and is devoted to him, while Tu Zhizhi is a genuine outsider with a treacherous mind. The Eighth Prince is very wary of her and is also trying to find ways to weaken her strength.

But before he could take any action, he discovered this matter from Chen Changli.

He suspected that besides Tu Zhizhi, there was someone else around him who had problems, and that someone else was hiding something even more deeply.

"I didn't notice that person, but the arrow came from that direction." Chen Changli immediately pointed to the front left.

"It's Miss Tu." Looking in the direction Chen Changli pointed, someone soon exclaimed.

Wan Shufang frowned slightly: "Tu Zhizhi is helping you catch the assassin, how could she come back and shoot the arrow on purpose?"

"Why are you speaking for Tu Zhizhi?" The Eighth Prince agreed with Wan Shufang's words very much, but when he thought of the conflict between Wan Shufang and Tu Zhizhi, he became suspicious again.

Wan Shufang sensed his suspicion and her face turned green with anger. "I know the priorities of things, and Tu Zhizhi's voice was so loud, if there is nothing wrong with your brain, how could you possibly suspect her?"
