The Eighth Prince's expression gradually became restrained, and a chill as cold as ice froze people.

Wan Shufang felt a chill sweeping over her, and she stared at the Eighth Prince without fear, as if she wanted to continue the stalemate with him.

"Eighth Prince, you came here specially to say all these words. Could it be that you want to talk about the marriage?" Jiang Xuan realized something belatedly and couldn't help but speak.

When the Eighth Prince heard this, his eyebrows drooped, as if he was suppressing his anger.

But thinking about his own plan, he felt that it was unnecessary, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. It is because you have the wrong idea that you are so vigilant and defensive."

After hearing what the Eighth Prince said, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but seem to be hesitant to speak, but in the end he said nothing.

Wan Shufang frowned. Did the Eighth Prince say so much just to tease them? That would be too boring.

When this thought came to her mind, Wan Shufang suddenly felt that something was wrong and stared at the Eighth Prince with suspicion.

Seeing that he looked calm, as if that was what he was thinking in his heart and he had no intention of plotting anything at all, Wan Shufang felt very upset.

"What exactly are you trying to plan?" Wan Shufang couldn't hold back her emotions and asked bluntly.

"Guess." The eighth prince asked deliberately.

Wan Shufang's eyes fell on him, and she always felt that she was very calm at the moment, so calm that it was a little abnormal.

At this time, Chen Changli said firmly: "You can't make up your mind, so you want to test us."

Without waiting for the Eighth Prince to refute, Chen Changli continued, "In fact, for you, choosing a woman without emotions is indeed helpful, but what will this woman's family think? That depends on your ability."

"If you were as powerful as the Ninth Prince, your wife and family would help you wholeheartedly. If you are not as good as the Ninth Prince and do not have a sincere heart, these noble families are not stupid. How could they waste their time on you?"

Chen Changli's blunt words revealed the Eighth Prince's thoughts, and his face instantly turned dark.

His lips moved slightly, as if he was about to refute Chen Changli.

However, when he thought of Lao Jiu, whom he praised, he felt that he was being looked down upon, and that Chen Changli had such a bad impression of him.

Even if he tried his best to refute, Chen Changli might start to have wild thoughts and have a worse impression of him.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the disgust in his heart, the Eighth Prince raised the corners of his mouth slightly in a sneer.

"It's true that I can't compare to Lao Jiu, but my background is not comparable to his. Instead of favoring him, you might as well favor Lao Liu."

"He hid in the dark and sowed discord, but it caused a fight between me and Lao Jiu."

Speaking of this matter, the eighth prince felt very depressed.

He only felt that he was troubled both internally and externally, and Chen Changli should have been the most useful chess piece in his hand, but Chen Changli was not as good as Tu Zhizhi.

He has someone he wants to be loyal to in his heart, and he would never change his mind.

The Eighth Prince could not help but feel resentful, and then he only took a fancy to the Phoenix Gu, not wanting Chen Changli to influence him.

"In three days at the latest, I will get the Phoenix Gu from you, so you only have three days to live."

The Eighth Prince tried hard to suppress his emotions and said these words to Chen Changli, then turned and left without waiting for his reaction.

The way he walked away quickly looked as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him.

"Did this man come here on purpose to intimidate us?" Wan Shufang's heart began to beat wildly as she listened to the Eighth Prince's confident words.

Jiang Xuan's face was solemn: "The Eighth Prince is here to give an ultimatum. In other words, he has made preparations and will remove the Phoenix Gu from Chen Changli's body in three days."

When Wan Shufang heard him say that, her heart rose to her throat, but she held Chen Changli tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, and her heart felt much better.

"When the Eighth Prince gave us half a month, we guessed that he had a way to make up for the flaws of the Phoenix Gu. We thought that half a month would be enough time, but we didn't expect that he would be ready to attack you before half a month was up."

Having said this, Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli with concern.

"Don't worry." Chen Changli had a gentle expression and a warm attitude.

"But this time he said something harsh..." Wan Shufang heard his gentle tone and knew that he had a plan in mind. However, she couldn't let it go and still felt uneasy.

Chen Changli knew that Wan Shufang was worried about him, so he reached out and patted the back of her hand gently. His tone was neither light nor heavy, but full of comfort that made people feel at ease.

"Phoenix Gu is indeed important to the Eighth Prince, because he is not as good as the Ninth Prince, and now he is trapped in Yongzhou City by the Ninth Prince. In order to break the situation, Phoenix Gu is a powerful weapon."

"But three days is enough time for us to react and make the Eighth Prince too busy to take care of himself."

Ever since he received the news from the secret agents, he knew that Yongzhou City had been infiltrated.

After Li Ye's incident came to light, he felt that there was something wrong with the fire in the side courtyard. It seemed too deliberate, and Li Ye was discovered too quickly.

It was as if an invisible giant hand was plotting in Yongzhou City, and both he and the Eighth Prince were caught in the game.

After meeting Wen Baicao and hearing the secrets she told him with his own ears, Chen Changli knew where this invisible hand came from.

He was unwilling to sit and wait for death, nor did he want Lin Jing and others to be targeted by the Eighth Prince, so he thought a lot that day and observed the surroundings for a long time.

As soon as the Eighth Prince arrived, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.

"Shufang, I will try to contact Lord Lin again, and then let Lord Lin arrange for you and Jiang Xuan to go to Bashu. I will stay here to help Lord Lin." After thinking about it, Chen Changli said to Wan Shufang in a serious tone.

When Wan Shufang heard this, her eyelids twitched.

When she met Chen Changli's extremely serious expression, her heart suddenly tightened, and then relaxed.

"Are you sure about this?"

Chen Changli dared to say this to her, obviously he had thought it over carefully.

And when the Eighth Prince was about to attack him, the Phoenix Gu was not in his body. It had already been placed in the hospital space.

The Eighth Prince will certainly end up with nothing, and the matter will become a big mess.

If she stayed with Chen Changli, she might become his weakness.

"I have made up my mind. There are things that must be done and risks that must be taken. After all, Tu Yuanzhou is behind this and fueling the flames, and opium can destroy a person's mind."

"We have done a lot before. If we neglect Afurong because we are trapped here, the situation will only become more uncontrollable."

Chen Changli was willing to wait for half a month, but he felt that the Eighth Prince was conflicted about the Phoenix Gu. Maybe he didn't think highly of the Phoenix Gu.

Now that he said this bluntly, Chen Changli naturally could not let him succeed.

"Just do whatever you want to do." Wan Shufang listened to Chen Changli's words and immediately gave him support.

Jiang Xuan glanced at her, then set his eyes on Chen Changli, and said earnestly: "Among the three of us, only you have the ability to avoid secret surveillance, so the two of us two stay quiet and do nothing, which is best for you."

"But we are not useless. If you have any problem, just tell us. We will do our best to help you so that you don't have to worry."
