Various thoughts went through the Emperor's mind, and his thoughts gradually became chaotic. However, in one breath, he adjusted his emotions and looked at Chen Changli with cold eyes.

In just the blink of an eye, he turned this scrutiny into a rare sigh.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang heard his sigh and unconsciously looked up at him.

Seeing that he was silent, it seemed that after talking to the new emperor, his mood became very low, and he didn't know how to continue talking to the new emperor.

Wan Shufang was surprised and doubtful at first, and then realized something.

Chen Changli saw through the reason for the Supreme Emperor's silence at a glance.

He didn't want to get involved, lest the new emperor and the Supreme Emperor would regard him as a target.

But the Emperor looked at him with a strange look, as if he was sure of what he had done, and also seemed to be thinking about how to find charges against him.

Chen Changli did not want to become a pawn in the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the princes on the first day he came to Luoyang City. After a moment of hesitation, he said: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Quanrong and Hehe, I..."

"Chen Changli, you have no place to speak here." Listening to the Emperor's words, the new emperor felt that he was becoming more and more like a puppet. No matter what he did, he would be plotted by the Emperor.

The reluctance in his heart was like a roiling ocean wave, which was about to overwhelm his sanity.

However, King Duan was watching eagerly from the side. The new emperor knew clearly that if he lost his mind, King Duan would take advantage of the victory to pursue him and drive him off the throne.

Since the throne fell into his hands, there was no chance of it being snatched away by anyone.

Therefore, the new emperor quickly regained his calm posture, interrupted Chen Changli with a half-smile, and looked at the Supreme Emperor with sarcastic eyes.

"Father, when you say so many things to me, don't you just want me to be a puppet in your hands?"

"Yes, I am not as good as the prince, let alone you. Without you sitting behind me, I am afraid that I, the emperor, will be worse than a puppet and will become the king of the country."

"But why did my son become the king of the country? Didn't you think about it carefully?"

"My son has the opportunity to become the king of a subjugated country all because of you. Why don't you reflect on yourself? You must blame everything on your son."

The new emperor has no abilities, but how can the great emperor be any better?

He will pass the throne to the new emperor, isn't it because he wants to avoid becoming the king of the country?

The new emperor had already figured this out, so he confidently seized the military power from the Supreme Emperor.

He had always believed that the Supreme Emperor dared to play with him in the midst of applause because he had military power in his hands.

But now looking at the Supreme Emperor's confident appearance, he had to suspect that he had guessed wrong.

Perhaps the Supreme Emperor still had a backup plan, so even if he lost military power, he would have nothing to fear.

"So you are complaining about me like this." Although the Supreme Emperor had expected the new emperor's attitude, when he actually faced it, he found it a bit difficult to accept it.

"There is a reason why the Fourth Brother is like this." Prince Duan and the new emperor were indeed very difficult to deal with, but every word the new emperor said was not what he wanted to say.

"Prince Duan." The Queen's heart was filled with anger. "Everything your Majesty said came from the bottom of his heart. The fourth child couldn't understand or listen to it. It was because he was resentful. But you are different. You have gained the favor of His Majesty." Unique preference, how can you interpret His Majesty's words in the same way as the fourth child? "

King Duan never expected that the Supreme Queen would say such a thing. His thoughts were like lightning and he quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands and saluted: "What the mother said makes sense, but what the fourth child said was also very sincere. I felt something after listening to it." It's reasonable. Besides, Father said what he said just to make us understand him. Why do you have such misunderstanding about us? "

Deliberately asking questions, King Duan slightly raised his eyelids and looked directly at the Supreme Empress, which made her tremble with fear.

"Is it possible that you misunderstood us so much because of the prince? But as far as I know, as the prince's biological mother, you don't really want him to live."

The Supreme Empress heard something in King Duan's words, and looked as usual. She smiled slightly and said, "I have never paid attention to whether the prince is alive or not, but you brothers are so concerned about it. Could it be that you think that the prince is back and he can still ascend to the throne?"

"But the fourth child is a legitimate emperor. The prince can only bow to him when he comes back. There is no way he can surpass him and become the emperor."

The two words of the Supreme Empress completely concluded what would happen after the Prince's possible return.

There was a trace of surprise in Chen Changli's eyes, but when he saw the disapproval of the Queen, he knew that the Queen had never taken the prince seriously from the beginning to the end. Now that she spoke about the prince, she wanted to use the prince to change the subject.

Chen Changli couldn't help but feel sad for the prince. Although he and the prince were convinced that the queen had a child through the womb, the birth of the prince did bring a lot of benefits to the queen and stabilized her position.

He thought that the Supreme Empress had been sincere towards the prince when he was raising him, but he did not expect that he took everything for granted.

However, because the Queen Mother's attitude was too cold and cold, Chen Changli's doubts became more intense.

He couldn't understand why the Supreme Empress could do this to the Prince. Wasn't she worried that things would backfire?

Or maybe she had figured out the attitude of the Crown Prince, and then she wanted to let the Crown Prince die in the hands of Concubine De.

Chen Changli's mood became complicated when he thought that the Queen was trying to please the Emperor by abandoning the Prince without hesitation.

Wan Shufang stood next to him and felt that his breath was a little erratic, so she knew that he felt uncomfortable for the prince.

After hearing what the Supreme Queen said, Wan Shufang also felt worthless for the Crown Prince.

It's just that the Supreme Empress must have something to rely on if she dares to say this. No matter how unwilling she is for the Prince, she can only remain deaf and mute at this moment.

Chen Changli's change in mood made her a little worried, and she couldn't help but reach out and tug on Chen Changli's sleeve to signal him not to think too much.

Chen Chang Liming understood what Wan Shufang meant. He quickly glanced at her and nodded slightly to show that he understood. Then he took his mind back and continued to observe the Supreme Empress and others.

Not wanting Prince Duan and the new emperor to finish listening to the Queen Mother's words, they thought about it for a while and immediately looked at Chen Changli.

After a while, King Duan said expressionlessly: "Chen Changli, you and the Crown Prince are friends. What do you think after hearing what the Supreme Queen said?"

The new emperor smiled at Chen Changli: "The prince has given you the kindness to know and teach you, and the queen is the prince's biological mother. Now that she has said such words for the prince, will you hate her because of the prince?"

The two people questioned Chen Changli one after another, making it clear that they wanted to get Chen Changli involved.

Wan Shufang felt dissatisfied and couldn't help but say: "This is your royal family's business. What you want to do has to be discussed by you. How can we, as outsiders, get involved?"
