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

"Why don't you answer? Is there something unspeakable about this matter?" The Eighth Prince did not care about Jiang Kezhou's death, but only cared about why Chen Changli wanted to kill him. Seeing Chen Changli's silence, he suddenly felt worried.

Chen Changli understood his thoughts and sighed: "The throne of the emperor is very eye-catching. Even though Jiang Kezhou is a businessman, he has set his sights on this."

"I accidentally exposed his thoughts, and I knew that he was planning to use me and the Sixth Prince, so he wanted to kill me. In other words, I killed him to protect myself, and there was no secret."

After a pause, Chen Changli stared at the Eighth Prince curiously.

Seeing that he frowned, as if thinking about something, Chen Changli rubbed his index and middle fingers together for a while, pretending to have a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sighed: "The Eighth Prince suddenly mentioned him, could it be that someone told you about his death?"

The Eighth Prince's expression remained unchanged. He just looked at him deeply and spoke as if he didn't care.

"I just received the news of his death last night, and it involved you and Lao Jiu. I thought the prince had some connection with Lao Jiu, which is why you took action."

Chen Changli was startled. How did Jiang Kezhou get involved with the Ninth Prince? Could it be that the Ninth Prince had also discovered everything the three of them did in Zaoyang County?

With this thought in mind, Chen Changli's face gradually became solemn: "Except for Luoyang City, I have never seen the Ninth Prince in other places, nor have I accepted his invitation. If I am not mistaken, what happened last night must be the Ninth Prince's spy in the mansion."

"That person was very thoughtful and gained your trust. After seeing that Tu Zhizhi and Ye Yun were sincere to you, he did something to sow discord between them so that you would suspect Tu Zhizhi and Ye Yun."

"I thought you would take the opportunity to instigate others, but I didn't expect you to speak for Tu Zhizhi." The Eighth Prince was stunned and sighed after a long time.

Chen Changli said without hesitation: "There is indeed a conflict between us. When the situation becomes more complicated, we may end up fighting to the death. But I am a prisoner now, and Tu Zhizhi has no interest in Phoenix Gu."

"So I am very happy that she maintains this mentality and helps me avoid some unnecessary troubles. Of course, if Your Highness has other speculations, I am also happy to accept them."

Chen Changli's words were tactful, but the more tactful he was, the more depressed the Eighth Prince felt.

He couldn't help but stand up and look down at Chen Changli, with a dark light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Chen Changli caught the dark light that disappeared in that instant, and he knew in his heart that the Eighth Prince did not want to hear such words from his mouth.

He knew very well that the Eighth Prince would like him to be extremely terrified and would like him to give him some advice for survival so that he can make a decision.

Chen Changli tapped the smooth tabletop with his hand and said calmly, "Your Highness, I know what you want, but I don't understand the current situation, nor do I know what the Ninth Prince has planned, so..."

The Eighth Prince interrupted coldly, "There is no so, only willingness or unwillingness. Unfortunately, you are unwilling. This prince will not force you, and you don't have to explain."

Having said this, he stood up and left.

As he was about to leave the courtyard, he suddenly turned around and said to Chen Changli, "The person who shot the arrow last night was Li Ye. He revealed Jiang Kezhou's death and implicated you, and seemed to be saying that Tu Zhizhi had reached a cooperation with you."

"I don't believe him, nor do I believe Zhizhi. After all, you belong to the prince, so the prince had better be dead, otherwise his existence will only be attacked by the crowd."

After saying this in an inexplicable tone, the Eighth Prince glanced at Chen Changli, gave him a meaningful smile, and turned away.

"Li Ye? Who is he?" Chen Changli didn't know who Li Ye was, but he felt very uncomfortable being schemed against by such a person.

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar figure was brought in by the butler.

He looked at Chen Changli and said with concern: "So you are the General Chen who intimidated the Quanrong. I was blind before and I hope that General Chen will be magnanimous and forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changli raised his eyebrows and set his gaze on the gentle and elegant Wen Baicao.

Seeing that he lowered his head and looked submissive, as if he was afraid of him, Chen Changli sneered in his heart. This guy was interesting, as he could act to such an extent.

"Shopkeeper Wen, I thought you were just an ordinary businessman, but I didn't expect you to be related to the Eighth Prince." Chen Changli said in a calm tone.

Wen Baicao thanked the housekeeper, then sat opposite him and said earnestly, "I'm just trying to make a living. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changli could not help but be alert in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He just smiled at him lightly: "Although the Eighth Prince has a bad temper, you have done a great service to him, and he will definitely use you."

"I am a businessman. No matter how much the Eighth Prince wants to employ me, I am just doing business." Wen Baicao's face was full of regret. "It would be great if I could be like you, but unfortunately I am old and don't have that ability. My children and grandchildren are not ambitious, so I can only use money to pave the way and earn some foundation for them."

Hearing his words full of praise for himself, Chen Changli didn't say much, just stared at him for a while.

His eyes were gentle, without any sarcasm or contempt. If Wen Baicao was really a businessman, he should be happy about his look, but unfortunately he was not.

Chen Changli then made up his mind and said in a straightforward tone, "Manager Wen would not come to you for no reason, right? If that's the case, you might as well speak up. If it doesn't harm my wife and I, I will consider it."

Hearing him add a premise in his words, Wen Baicao suddenly found it interesting and immediately lowered her voice and said, "What would you do if I said I was the Crown Prince's man?"

Chen Changli's eyebrows jumped, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Shopkeeper Wen, the prince's status is precious, and he can't tolerate jokes."

"Is it because he has a noble status, or is it because you care about him that his status becomes extraordinary?" Wen Baicao showed curiosity.

Chen Changli felt that his reaction was wrong. His heart suddenly rose to his throat. His body was slightly tense, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I may have been a general in the past, and I could be favored by many people, but now I am a prisoner. It is a blessing from God that I can barely survive."

"General Chen, don't underestimate yourself! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still needs you." Wen Baicao found his reply very interesting, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

Chen Changli's face suddenly turned cold, and his voice was as sharp as a knife and an arrow: "What is your purpose?"

Seeing Chen Changli's expression change, Wen Baicao laughed: "The prince is related to me, and I care about him very much."

Chen Changli became more and more alert in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said, "I don't remember someone like you being by the Crown Prince's side. Besides, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to use you, how can the Eighth Prince trust you?"

He leaned forward slightly, his aura was so strong that it made people breathe rapidly, as if they couldn't catch their breath. "Wen Baicao, you lied to me. I think you are ready to die."
