Chen Changli sighed, "I thought you knew a lot before, but you acted too calmly. I thought you only had a vague understanding of some things, but I never thought you knew so much."

When Old Lady Shang heard this, she twitched her lips and smiled, "I am a member of the Gu tribe after all. If I don't know about things related to Gu insects, wouldn't it seem that I am incompetent?"

"My husband and I don't dare to think so. After all, we have already experienced what you are capable of." Wan Shufang spoke quickly after hearing this.

Old Lady Shang glanced at her, her mood gradually becoming melancholy, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "Your reaction is a little strange. If I'm not mistaken, you and your wife must have guessed about this matter a long time ago."

She raised her eyebrows with interest, and then she smiled unconsciously, thinking of something, "Chang Xuewei also had some guesses about this matter, which is why she kept you two by her side."

"I didn't know about this before, but I thought Chang Xuewei wouldn't do useless things, so I thought about guessing her psychology, and then I confirmed this guess."

When Wan Shufang heard this, her face was filled with coldness: "You are sure of this guess just because you speculated? Old Lady Shang, don't you think this is too ridiculous?"

Old Lady Shang shook her head and sighed: "It is indeed a bit absurd, but I believe in my speculation, because apart from the Gu Clan, no one else in this world knows so much about Phoenix Gu."

When Wan Shufang heard this, her face suddenly turned ugly. Mrs. Shang's idea was really too absurd.

"What if your guess is wrong?" Chen Changli asked specifically.

"I won't be wrong." Old Mrs. Shang's tone was very confident.

However, when she met Chen Changli's cold expression, she felt as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and her whole body tensed up unconsciously.

After changing his mind, he said, "Even if I'm wrong, my guess can't be wrong, unless you and your wife really don't think in this direction."

What she said was purely speculation about how much Wan Shufang cared about Chen Changli. In addition, Wan Shufang's medical skills were recognized by many people, so she naturally thought that her guess would not be wrong.

However, Wan Shufang believed that the reason why Old Lady Shang thought so was because the Phoenix Gu had a deep connection with the Gu clan.

She found things related to Phoenix Gu in the records of the Gu Clan, and naturally knew what kind of relationship Chen Changli had with Phoenix Gu.

"Hearing you speak so confidently, I almost believed it. But when I think of your identity, I know where your speculation comes from."

Wan Shufang deliberately emphasized her tone, and then locked her eyes on Old Lady Shang.

Seeing that her face did not change, her expression was very calm, as if Mrs. Shang's targeting would not affect her emotions.

"Actually, you're right. After leaving that mountain range, in order to prevent the Phoenix Gu from causing harm to Chen Changli, Jiang Xuan and I spent some time studying the prescription that Chang Xuewei accidentally revealed."

"We didn't come up with any results from our research, but we found that the Phoenix Gu has an absolute suppression on many Gu insects, so Chen Changli and I had the same guess as you."

"But we didn't take it seriously. After all, except for those of you who are interested, we don't know what the Phoenix Gu is capable of."

"If we want to understand everything, we have to spend some time doing experiments, but we didn't expect that we would fall into the hands of the Eighth Prince, and our plan was interrupted."

Having said this, Wan Shufang looked up at the Eighth Prince and asked curiously, "Eighth Prince, you didn't give us half a month just because you knew that the Phoenix Gu was related to the Gu Clan."

"But how can you be sure that the Gu tribe is willing to help you? You have to know that the people of the Gu tribe died tragically, and the surviving Gu tribe members may have strong hatred."

"As a member of the royal family who wants to fight for the world, aren't you afraid that the Gu people will turn against you?"

As soon as Wan Shufang said this, Tu Zhizhi couldn't help but look at the Eighth Prince.

"The Gu tribe was harmed by the New Heaven Society." The Eighth Prince said in a calm tone, "If Old Lady Shang wants revenge, she should go to the New Heaven Society."

"If she is targeting me, I will only suspect that she has a problem with her brain, which is why she did something that hurts her loved ones and pleases her enemies."

Since the Eighth Prince decided to attack the Gu Clan, it was naturally because he was quite confident in himself and was sure that Old Lady Shang was not a stupid person.

"So this is what you think in your heart. No wonder you reacted so calmly." Tu Zhizhi said meaningfully.

Chen Changli immediately glanced at her and saw that she looked a little puzzled. He smiled and said, "The fact that the Eighth Prince doesn't care about this matter shows that he has absolute confidence that he can control the overall situation."

"But I have a question, and I hope Miss Disciple can answer it for me."

When Chen Changli said this, Tu Zhizhi couldn't help but look at him in surprise. Seeing that his eyes were full of curiosity and there was no other emotion in them, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She wanted to avoid Chen Changli's eyes and ignore his question, but she didn't expect Chen Changli to take the initiative to ask: "How much do you and your brother know about Chang Xuewei?"

"Or what is your brother thinking? Why does he let you stay by the Eighth Prince's side? It can't be that Yongzhou is being targeted by the New Heavenly Society, and you want to use this opportunity to destroy both the Eighth Prince and the New Heavenly Society."

Tu Zhizhi's eyelids jumped when she heard this. "My brother would never have such an idea. Don't try to sow discord between them."

She finished her words in one breath and stared at the Eighth Prince, as if she was worried that he would take Chen Changli's words to heart.

The Eighth Prince's expression did not change at all. He only said, "What's the matter with Tu Yuanzhou? If you want to know, you can go to Qingzhou to see him. I believe that when you get there, you will be able to figure out his plan."

"Your Highness the Eighth Prince is truly magnanimous." Wan Shufang heard the sarcasm in the Eighth Prince's words, and her eyes burned with flames.

Chen Changli held her hand at this time, shook his head at her, and then said to the Eighth Prince: "I had thought about going to Qingzhou before, but unfortunately my luck is not very good. I am trapped here and can't do anything."

"Are you blaming me?" The Eighth Prince felt very uncomfortable after hearing his words and couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

Chen Changli said in a gentle tone: "I don't blame you, I only blame myself for falling into the trap."

Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince's expression gradually softened, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Chen Changli, you really need to think carefully about what I said before. I believe you will not regret it after your two children are rescued."

"Actually, I have already made up my mind. I wanted to talk to you in detail tomorrow, but I didn't expect something like this to happen tonight." Chen Changli said earnestly.

The Eighth Prince's heart skipped a beat. He asked anxiously, "What are you going to do?"

"As you wish." Chen Changli said meaningfully.

When the Eighth Prince heard this, he couldn't tell what he felt.

Tu Zhizhi shouted, "Chen Changli, what do you mean? Are you planning to betray the Crown Prince and join the Eighth Prince?"
