Ye Yun couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but then he thought of Liu Yaoyao who was staying beside Prince Rong, and he relaxed his brows and said, "Old Prince Rong is your Majesty's biological father. As the adopted son of Old Prince Rong, Prince Rong should have helped your Majesty with all his strength."

"But once he knew your Majesty's identity, he became jealous of you. He was determined to use the old King Rong's legacy to deceive your Majesty by pretending to be sick. He also secretly colluded with the rebels and planned a rebellion."

"A person like him who is so jealous and narrow-minded is not worthy of having a Gu tribe member."

Ye Yun's words touched the heart of the Eighth Prince, and he immediately smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

Seeing this, Ye Yun immediately knew that the Eighth Prince liked to hear such words, so he continued speaking.

"That little girl named Yanran was probably tricked by Liu Yaoyao into coming to his side, which made him so proud. But Liu Yaoyao is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and she is also closely tied to the New Heaven Society."

"How could he, a man who hid in the gutter and planned everything, control Liu Yaoyao? I suspect that Meizhou has long been under the control of the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"Prince Rong, the man charging in the front, is just a chess piece pushed out by the remnants of the previous dynasty. If we confront him in advance, it will undoubtedly make us laugh."

The Eighth Prince was very happy, but when he thought about how it was Prince Rong who destroyed the identities of his brothers, he almost flew into a rage.

"That's indeed the truth, but it's a pity that Prince Rong doesn't understand and is determined to go against us brothers."

"If Yongzhou wasn't far away from Meizhou, I would have teamed up with Lao Jiu and Lao Liu to deal with him long ago."

He picked up the teacup, took a sip to moisten his dry throat, and then frowned.

"Why is there a Gu tribe member around Lao Liu? Could it be that he wants to be immortal like my father?"

As for the matter of Phoenix Gu, he only became aware of the old emperor's thoughts through what Princess An Qing said unintentionally, and he also knew that he and the queen wanted to refine Phoenix Gu.

The Sixth Prince has a member of the Gu Clan by his side, and the Eighth Prince finds it a little strange no matter how he thinks about it.

He suspected that the Sixth Prince also wanted to live forever, or he had used this Gu tribe member to study the Phoenix Gu a few years ago.

"This matter is indeed worth investigating." Ye Yun also became curious.

The Eighth Prince chuckled: "In fact, as long as we catch that old lady Shang, we can learn some of the truth."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun immediately expressed his opinion: "I will arrange this matter as soon as possible and prevent her from escaping."

"Let Tu Zhizhi handle this matter, and you should focus on the traitor." The Eighth Prince thought about it and refused.

Ye Yun frowned slightly, then adjusted his words and said tactfully: "Tu Zhizhi is still imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and her people are ready to make a move."

"I took the opportunity to catch a lot of them, but there are still many more hiding in the dark. I wanted her to cooperate with me to stage a scene of robbing the prison."

"If she goes to catch Old Lady Shang, this play won't be able to go on."

The Eighth Prince was not panicked at all, and simply said, "Find someone to pretend to be her."

His voice paused, and he looked up at Ye Yun, his lips slightly raised, revealing a smile, "Our people disguised as Tu Zhizhi can perfectly cooperate with us to catch all those who are ready to make a move."

Ye Yun suddenly realized and praised the Eighth Prince for his wisdom, then went to arrange the matter.

After the Eighth Prince watched him leave, he felt happy thinking that the Gu people would soon fall into his hands and that he would be able to truly control the Phoenix Gu in Chen Changli's body.

"Old Six and Old Nine, what do your scheming mean? In the end, you can't compare to my luck."

"Phoenix Gu, it would be great if you could really make people immortal."

"As an emperor, I must not only build a palace, but also govern the country for a long time."

"It's a pity that the Phoenix Gu is fake. I don't have the ability like my father, so I really can't find the real elixir of life."

The Eighth Prince's tone was filled with regret. When he knew how crazy the emperor was for the Phoenix Gu, he felt only contempt and disdain for the old emperor.

But when he thought that he was about to get the Phoenix Gu and could use it to conquer the world, he suddenly understood the emperor's pursuit of immortality.

He also longed for immortality and hoped that he could rule the world for a long time. However, the Phoenix Gu was not the legendary divine object. No matter how much he coveted it, he dared not use it to turn himself into a weirdo who could live without eating or drinking.

"I hope that after the world is pacified, I can receive news about the elixir of life."

The more the Eighth Prince thought about it, the more he felt that he could not miss the elixir of immortality. However, when he counted the people on hand, there was not a single one who could be used.

This is also the reason why he released Tu Zhizhi and let her do the work.

The reason he got to the bottom of it was because he had no one else at his disposal, and he was worried that if Ye Yun went to arrest Old Lady Shang, the Sixth Prince would hold a grudge against him, so he could only choose Tu Zhizhi.

"It's all my father's fault. If he hadn't allowed the queen to plot against my mother and hadn't openly and covertly targeted the Zhen family, how could my mother's family be left with only my cousin?"

When talking about this matter that had been on his mind for a long time, the Eighth Prince's eyes were filled with hatred.

"Father, you have caused me so much suffering! So your death in my hands is retribution, don't blame me."

After saying this with hatred surging throughout the world, the Eighth Prince unconsciously thought of Zhao Zhen's words.

If he marries a powerful wife, he will naturally have countless talented people at his disposal.

But if the power of his wife's family is too great, he will also be shackled, so the Eighth Prince is very conflicted, so much so that he is not optimistic about what Zhao Zhen is going to do, but he also holds some hope.

"Xie's, if we can get Xie's, how can Old Nine dare to be so arrogant?"

"But the harm of opium is so obvious. Xie's family is controlled by opium. If I marry a daughter of the Xie family, won't opium harm me?"

The Eighth Prince's thoughts raced. He felt that he could not just focus on Xie, but had to look further ahead. It would be best if he could marry someone who shared the same ties with him. Otherwise, the world he had conquered would probably go to someone else.

"The noble families that are interested in me either have other intentions or have fallen into decline. If I were to choose a helper, would I have to choose from these declining noble families?"

The eighth prince was a little greedy, so he was very conflicted, to the point that his head was about to explode.

He decided to find Chen Changli to see if he had any ideas. If not, he could only ask Ye Yun for help.

With great expectations, the Eighth Prince appeared in front of Chen Changli and asked bluntly, "If the Crown Prince wants to marry another wife, what kind of woman do you think he should marry?"

When the Eighth Prince arrived, Chen Changli guessed that he had made some progress in his investigation of Tu Zhizhi, but he didn't expect him to ask such a question right away.

Chen Changli looked at him with a rather subtle expression, and after a while he sighed, "You want to get married, right?"

The Eighth Prince's expression remained unchanged: "If it were me, what kind of woman do you think would be suitable for me?"

Chen Changli said in a slightly cold tone: "If you are not sincere, even if the most outstanding woman in the world is favored by you, I will still feel that it is inappropriate."

"Sincerity? What sincerity does a prince need to talk about when marrying a wife?" The Eighth Prince became angry and embarrassed.
