Bai Yue listened to Wan Shufang's shocking guess, and almost didn't hold back, and her expression showed some clues.

She reacted quickly and directly focused her gaze on Jin Yu, using this method to divert her fear and calm her expression.

Jin Yu glanced at her lightly, and when he saw the horror and murderous intent in her eyes, he knew that she almost let Wan Shufang get a glimpse of the news on her face.

In his heart, he looked down upon Bai Yue more and more, but then he thought about how Bai Yue's behavior was not his.

The reason why his emotions were not so exposed was simply because he had some guesses about what Wan Shufang would say.

After Wan Shufang blurted out the words, he was surprised but not surprised, and his face looked as calm as ever.

He didn't want Bai Yue's emotions to be exposed and Wan Shufang know something, so he wanted to push back and tell her not to think in this direction.

The deputy leader had different ideas from him, and he happily admitted: "You are right. Our White Lotus Sect can develop so fast, and can even fight back against the imperial court after natural disasters, because of the secret support of the remnants of the previous dynasty. us."

"But one thing you said is wrong, that is, our White Lotus Sect has a cooperative relationship with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and is not a pawn in their hands. If you insist on your own ideas, then you will only become a real prisoner in the White Lotus Sect. After all, we We are not easy to mess with, and we also care about our own reputation.”

After saying this with a smile on his face, the deputy leader stared directly at Wan Shufang, as if he wanted to see some fear from her slightly surprised face.

He didn't see anything, and he wasn't angry. He said with a meaningful smile in his eyes: "The reason why we, the White Lotus Sect, chose to cooperate with the remnants of the previous dynasty is because the imperial court is pressing us harder and harder."

"As the general's wife, you should have enjoyed the glory and wealth that your husband has given you. Unfortunately, those glory and wealth are like a mirror, which can be shattered at the first glance."

"If you and your husband don't see this clearly, you will easily lose your lives in the turbid whirlpool of the capital."

"But you and your wife may have different views than us. After all, you are ministers to the emperor. As long as you are obedient, the emperor may be kind enough to give you more benefits."

"However, Chen Changli is very close to the prince. As my adopted daughter said, the prince will never ascend to the throne unless he forces the palace to rebel in his lifetime."

"You and your wife will undoubtedly accompany him to destruction if you seek refuge with him, but as long as you see the benefits of our White Lotus Sect and then join us, we, the White Lotus Sect, will give you whatever you and your wife want."

When the deputy leader said this, his expression seemed very sincere, and his eyes looking at Wan Shufang were a little more inviting and appreciative.

Wan Shufang took in the changes in their expressions and quickly thought about the deputy leader's words in her mind. She always felt that the deputy leader seemed to be very unfavorable to the prince.

She found it very strange that no matter how unstable the prince's status was, he was still the prince personally conferred by the emperor.

The White Lotus Sect was far away in southern Xinjiang. How could they determine the true situation of the prince and be sure that he would not be able to ascend the throne?

Could it be that they were well aware of the Queen's attitude towards the Prince, or they knew clearly why the Queen treated the Prince this way.

With this guess in her mind, Wan Shufang couldn't help but breathe a little quickly. It was the fear and expectation that she was about to learn a secret.

She deliberately wanted to test the deputy leader to understand the reason.

The deputy leader seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and his wrinkled face gradually became covered with an indistinguishable haze.

His tone was unconsciously low: "The prince is also in southern Xinjiang now. His situation is not good. He may die without even his bones one day."

"If you feel that betraying the Crown Prince will disturb your conscience, I can let you see the Crown Prince's tragic end with your own eyes. In this way, you will not feel guilty if you betray the Crown Prince."

His words seemed to be thinking about Wan Shufang, but in fact they revealed a murderous intention, which was directed at the prince.

Both Wan Shufang and Chen Changli noticed it. Although they did not raise their heads to look at each other, they also knew how heavy the other's heart was at the moment.

It's just that the deputy leader spoke so complacently, obviously knowing exactly where the prince was and what he had been through.

After the two were stunned for a moment, an unspeakable anger and helplessness quickly surged in their hearts. Among them, Chen Changli was naturally the one with the strongest anger and murderous intent.

He learned about the prince's disappearance from Ye Xuan, and the emperor told Ye Xuan about it.

He originally thought that the emperor had taken a back-up approach and that the prince would be safe even if something happened. However, he did not expect that the people from the White Lotus Sect were Miao people and were related to the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Even if the prince is full of wisdom, he will be helpless in a short time when facing the Miao people who are native to the southern border. After all, the Miao people are very xenophobic and very united.

They live in the deep mountains and old forests of southern Xinjiang, and have long had firm control of southern Xinjiang.

If they were determined to deal with the prince, and with the cooperation of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the prince would definitely escape death.

Chen Changli was worried about the prince and what would happen to Wan Shufang next. His mind was spinning rapidly but was about to explode.

He had to weigh the pros and cons, and then set his sights on the deputy leader.

She glanced at him invisibly and saw that he was staring straight at Wan Shufang, as if he was staring at his prey. As long as Wan Shufang relaxed a little, he would rush forward and bite her neck.

Chen Changli felt condensed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He only pretended to be frightened by the deputy leader's words, and looked at Wan Shufang cautiously.

But seeing her frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about what the deputy leader said, he felt distressed in his heart, but he persuaded her with good words: "Madam, I think what the deputy leader said is very reasonable. If you don't want to, come with me." Join the White Lotus Sect."

"You are you, I am me, don't confuse me with you." Wan Shufang heard Chen Changli's words and guessed that he was worried about the prince's situation and wanted to deal with the deputy leader and get a chance to leave here.

She was actually worried about the prince. After all, Chen Changlixin's mission was to come to southern Xinjiang to save the prince.

Now the deputy leader is very likely to know where the prince is and whether he has encountered any danger.

Chen Changli naturally wanted to start with him to understand the prince's current situation.

Wan Shufang immediately wanted to cooperate with him, but Chen Changli was now a down-and-out businessman named Lin Zhichao in the eyes of the White Lotus Sect.

He is willing to speak for her because he has a good heart. If she accidentally reveals her familiarity with him, it is very likely that his identity will be exposed.

Her look showed disdain and disdain for Chen Changli, and she emphasized her tone: "The people of the White Lotus Sect are not good people. If you listen to what they say, you and your family will be doomed in this life. I I advise you to think about it carefully and don’t think about joining the White Lotus Sect just because of the current predicament.”

When Bai Yue heard Wan Shufang's words, she immediately laughed out loud: "Wan Shufang, what do you mean by this? Do you still want to rescue this man from here?"
