Wen Baicao couldn't say he was wrong. His heart was even more upset, but his expression didn't change. He just smiled faintly, "Being too persistent is not a good thing."

"I should be the one saying this to you." Chen Changli insisted on his decision and refused to give in.

Wen Baicao looked calm: "If you insist on doing this, the consequences will not be under your control."

Chen Changli readily accepted: "I believe the Eighth Prince will make the appropriate decision."

Hearing this, Wen Baicao felt that Chen Changli was pushing his luck further, and there was murderous intent in his words: "The Eighth Prince knows too much, and your life will be shortened."

Chen Changli smiled softly: "How can my husband and I dare to hope for a long life now?"

Choked by these words, Wen Baicao suddenly felt that ordinary words could not anger Chen Changli. If he said something harsh, he would probably offend him completely.

After thinking for a moment, he said with a hint of coldness in his voice: "I will do as you wish."

After he finished speaking, there was a hint of anger in his eyes, as if he was irritated by Chen Changli.

But once he left the yard, his brows relaxed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled, "What a great Chen Changli."

As soon as these words mixed with sighs came out, Wen Baicao stroked his beard, his mind stormed, and then he went to see the Eighth Prince.

Not long after he left, Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan came to the gate of the courtyard, glanced at the guards on both sides and said, "That man just now was extremely greedy. We don't like him very much."

"So if he doesn't bring the Eighth Prince with him tomorrow, don't let him in."

The two guards heard this without changing their expressions, and said in a slow and gentle tone: "Madam, you must inform the housekeeper in advance, and then the housekeeper will arrange for outsiders to enter and leave."

Hearing the word "outsider", Wan Shufang's expression changed slightly: "Then go and ask the housekeeper."

After she finished speaking, she took Jiang Xuan back to the courtyard.

Seeing her happy expression, Chen Changli asked with concern, "Did the guard agree?"

"No, but the butler can make the decision." Wan Shufang restrained her smile. "This butler looks ordinary, but I didn't expect that he can make the decision even on such a matter. It seems that he has a special status in the heart of the Eighth Prince."

Jiang Xuan guessed: "Perhaps he is extraordinary, which is why he is valued by the Eighth Prince."

Chen Changli smiled and said, "What's so special about that? Maybe we'll know the answer tomorrow."

Hearing his implication, Jiang Xuan was not optimistic about his guess and immediately said, "Wen Baicao clearly came prepared, and his attitude towards us is also very strange."

"He knows so many secrets, and his identity has not been discovered yet. I guess he is planning something big."

"We, even some of the princes, could be his pawns."

"As for Chang Xuewei, whether she knows about Wen Baicao is not something we can speculate."

"But what Chang Xuewei wants to do is similar to what Wen Baicao does. I think if Wen Baicao is really the mastermind behind the scenes, Chang Xuewei must have been greatly influenced by him."

Jiang Xuan had learned about Chang Xuewei's identity from Wan Shufang before, and he was actually moved. After all, the granddaughter of Prince Mingde founded the New Tianhui on her own, which was enough to show that she was quite capable.

If she really conquers the world, those who follow her will be considered as the emperor's followers and will be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory.

However, Chang Xuewei was unwilling to fight for the world with real swords and guns. Instead, she used the Phoenix Gu to create a monster, so that she could survive alone in the world and gain the whole world.

In this case, Jiang Xuan would have either died long ago or turned into an unconscious monster, being controlled by Chang Xuewei.

Jiang Xuan wasn't mentally ill, so how could he let himself fall into such a situation? So when faced with the possible harm that Chang Xuewei might bring, he naturally sided with Chen Changli and his wife.

"Chen Changli, even if Chang Xuewei is really powerful, she couldn't have managed the New Heaven Society to this extent in such a short time. So Wen Baicao is highly suspected. Chang Xuewei might have been used."

Jiang Xuan's thoughts were racing, all kinds of thoughts blowing through his mind like the wind.

He felt that this was not a good thing and tried hard to adjust his emotions and calm himself down.

However, when he thought of the threat posed by Wen Baicao, he could not remain calm. He could only express his guesses and thoughts and let Chen Changli and Wan Shufang analyze them carefully.

Wan Shufang understood what he meant, and her heart tightened. If Chang Xuewei was used by someone without knowing it, then could it be that Chang Xuewei's desire to take revenge on the world was deliberately fostered by someone?

"Do you think Wen Baicao would spend several years targeting an innocent girl in order to take revenge on the royal family?" Wan Shufang was immediately worried when she had that thought.

She couldn't help but look at Chen Changli, and after a moment of silence, she asked her doubts.

"Chang Xuewei is three years older than the prince, so she was only two years old when her mother was chosen by the emperor." Chen Changli also thought in this direction, but he didn't dare to think about it too deeply.

Wan Shufang suddenly asked this question, but Chen Changli felt that he could not ignore this matter, otherwise the doubts would pile up in his heart, which would only make him have bad associations.

If he couldn't control himself and someone was plotting against him, he would most likely put Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan in danger because of his arrogance.

"A two-year-old child doesn't remember much, so if Chang Xuewei were stranded and suffering at this time, she would definitely not hate the emperor."

"But Chang Xuewei's behavior was different. When she was fifteen, she disguised herself as a man and entered the Imperial Hospital. She became jealous of the Crown Prince and even got involved in the palace struggle to frame him."

As he spoke slowly to this point, Chen Changli's expression became somewhat solemn.

He looked at Wan Shufang and saw that she was thoughtful, as if she had figured out the meaning of his words. His heart sank slightly.

"From this we can see that Chang Xuewei was able to remember things and knew clearly where her mother was, which is why she was stranded and suffered."

"She couldn't let go of the pain. Over the years, her mind became twisted and she wanted everyone in the world to die."

"She probably wanted to use Phoenix Gu because it could fulfill her wish."

Wan Shufang listened to this, her mind turned thousands of times, and then she smiled bitterly and said: "But Chang Xuewei didn't feel that there was someone behind her, and this is the most terrifying thing."

Chen Changli said softly: "Shufang, we can't make a conclusion on this matter. After all, we don't know why Chang Xuewei developed the New Heaven Society to such an extent, and how Tu Yuanzhou and his sister got in touch with her."

He said with particular emphasis: "If we jump to conclusions and later learn other truths, we will only be in a passive position."

Wan Shufang understood what he meant and nodded immediately: "I understand. Don't worry, I will just keep this doubt in my heart. If the opportunity arises later, I will definitely figure everything out."

"Maybe when the truth is revealed, Chang Xuewei will give up her crazy idea."

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but pour cold water on this: "If Chang Xuewei knew that she was pushed out as the Blade of Revenge, she would only become more crazy."

Wan Shufang was stumped by this sentence, and suddenly felt helpless, "I can't let her really turn all the living people in the world into weirdos."
