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

After hearing this, Chen Changli kissed Wan Shufang directly, kissing her so hard that he had no time to think, then he pressed his forehead against hers and sighed quietly.

"Isn't it normal for us as a couple to cultivate our relationship while we have more time now? Why are you thinking so wildly? Could it be that I haven't done a good enough job?"

He raised his eyebrows when he said this, and looked at Wan Shufang with a smile. Seeing that her face was flushed, looking shy and angry, he couldn't help but kiss her again.

Wan Shufang was not an awkward person. She was happy that Chen Changli was so close to her, and she immediately responded to him enthusiastically.

The couple both have a sense of propriety. It is snowing heavily outside and there are no relatives to leave in the General's Mansion. Naturally, they are a little more leisurely than those families who are too busy until the New Year's Eve banquet.

So the couple was gentle for a while and then completely let go of themselves. Afterwards, they had dinner with the children and spent most of the night messing around in the room.

On the second day, Wan Shufang felt so warm in bed that she didn't want to leave the room.

But Chen Changli couldn't. He had to go to the East Palace to see the prince, and then waited for the emperor to seal the pen and officially start Xiu Mu.

He didn't disturb Wan Shufang when he got up, just to let her sleep a little longer.

Wan Shufang understood his good intentions and naturally stayed on the bed for a while before getting up.

As soon as she left the room and felt the biting cold wind, Wan Shufang couldn't help but think of various clothes and blankets made of cashmere.

She thought about it and found that there seemed to be no cashmere products in the capital, and cashmere was always a product from Inurong.

She thought of the enduring economic war, and her thoughts suddenly came to life.

"Quirong is thinking about Dajing every year. Don't they just think that Dajing is vast and rich in resources? If Dajing uses all the resources they need to exchange for cashmere, when their lives get better and better, where will they be? You still want to fight!"

After patting herself on the head to make her thoughts clearer, Wan Shufang quickly went to the study to write down all these thoughts.

While recording, she also recalled various products made from cashmere and wrote down the functions of these products.

After writing many pages, she emptied her brain.

She slumped down on the chair, slowly rubbing her sore wrist, but her eyes kept scanning what she was writing.

After confirming that nothing was wrong, she decided to leave the matter to Chen Changli when he came back.

She was thinking about Chen Changli here, but when Chen Changli came to the East Palace, his face changed slightly when he was shocked by the prince's words, "Did the fourth prince quietly return to the capital?"

The prince handed him a letter and said in a serious tone: "The situation in the southwest is not optimistic. Although Quanrong retreated because of the news that you are still alive, its wolf ambition is obvious. It is only temporarily peaceful. The points won’t always be settled.”

"What's more, those rebels don't look like ordinary refugees. The fourth child is not a fool. How could he not think of a way?"

"I originally thought that the fourth child's idea was to let Zhao Yunhui recover from his injuries as soon as possible and live a peaceful life with him on his back. Who would have thought that he would just abandon Zhao Yunhui and the others and run back quietly."

When the prince talked about the fourth prince, his expression didn't look very good.

Although the fourth prince has no brains, his identity is there. As long as he still stays in the southwest, then whether it is Zhao Yunhui or others, they will have a backbone.

He abandoned all these people and quietly returned to the capital. Not to mention how angry the emperor would be, the people in the southwest border alone were enough to feel chilled.

The prince was afraid that it would chill their hearts and make those people even more disappointed in the court.

"Actually, regarding those rebels, I have long suspected that someone in our court was secretly promoting it." Chen Changli repeated the prince's words and mentioned his previous thoughts.

"You are so suspicious because of the bandits collecting food. To be honest, when I first received your message, I checked it out and found that those people were very cautious and there were no extra clues for me to follow."

"The most important thing is that after you caught those bandits, this matter was immediately swept away. I checked here and there and only found that King Duan was doing this secretly."

"For this reason, I went out of my way to test King Duan, but found that he didn't know about this matter at all. I suspected that someone was doing something in the name of King Duan."

"The refugee rebellion this time may be a temptation from the person behind the scenes."

Various thoughts were running through the prince's mind, and finally he unconsciously came up with a very possible guess.

Chen Changli's brows jumped slightly when he heard this, and his heart couldn't stop sinking.

"Anyone who dares to test the imperial court in this way either has strong strength and has been operating for many years, so that even His Majesty is not aware of his thoughts, or he is a collaborator and treasonous person."

Chen Changli's words touched the heart of the prince. This was what the prince thought in his heart. He also suspected that this person who collaborated with the enemy and treason was probably a remnant of the previous dynasty.

"To be honest, as my father gets older, sometimes some of the decisions he makes are not wise at all. Instead, they appear to be very confused."

"And because he is getting older, my father is very concerned about his posthumous name. He hopes that he can be called a benevolent king after a hundred years, so he has been very tolerant to the officials in the past two years."

"His tolerance also breeds many corrupt officials. Some officials who are far away from the capital are completely preying on the people behind his back."

"Why is Prince Duan's concubine's uncle so rampant in Yangzhou? Could it be that my father gave him a chance."

"If my father doesn't change things, there will only be more and more people like the Yangzhou magistrate, and the people's rebellion may not be a big deal."

"Chen Changli, sometimes I wonder if Jing Chao's luck is about to end, which is why so many disasters have happened this year."

The prince was well-read in poetry and books, and he had a clear understanding of what happened in the last years of each dynasty.

Now that natural and man-made disasters are coming and the treasury is empty, the prince can't help but think wildly.

Chen Changli quickly comforted him: "Your Highness, don't think so wildly. Things are not that bad. Besides, His Majesty has only been confused in the past few years, but the civil and military officials are not confused. They will advise His Majesty properly."

"Your words can only comfort me." The prince is not an energetic young man, he is already considered middle-aged at this age.

He had been in the position of prince for many years, how could he not know whether the emperor was confused or faint.

He and Chen Changli used confusion to refer to the emperor, which was actually a euphemism.

However, the emperor did not seem to notice this, and instead thought that he was a wise king that everyone praised.

The prince sometimes feels that he feels too good about himself. As long as he is a smart and thoughtful person, through his preference for King Duan and his condonation of King Duan's oppression of the people, you will know that he, the emperor, has indeed become dim in recent years.

Chen Changli poured a cup of tea for the prince and said in a gentle tone: "That is better than letting His Highness think wildly."

Listening to Chen Changli's meaningful words, the prince hesitated and asked, "Are you going to suppress the rebels?"
