As soon as Concubine De opened her mouth, she tried to make Chen Changli the one who wronged the prince.

Wan Shufang was originally worried that she would randomly accuse others and make Chen Changli the target of public criticism, but she did not expect that she would be so suspicious of Chen Changli.

Wan Shufang couldn't help feeling blocked and opened her mouth to speak, but found that she didn't know what to say.

Just because she didn't know how Chen Changli captured the Eighth Prince, and she didn't know whether the Eighth Prince and Princess An Qing had any back-up plans.

With a trace of worry in her heart, Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli with worry, fearing that if she didn't pay attention, Chen Changli would be hurt by the sharp-tongued Concubine De who dared to strike.

Chen Changli noticed Wan Shufang's eyes falling on him and immediately knew that she was worried about him.

He wanted to open his mouth to comfort Wan Shufang, but Concubine De came to him at this moment and said in a very strong tone: "Why don't you answer me? Are you feeling guilty too?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted to carve the word guilty on Chen Changli's forehead.

Her behavior was too urgent, and the people present were not fools, so how could they not understand what she meant.

However, except for Wan Shufang, everyone else looked at Chen Changli with an incomprehensible look.

Their overly straightforward eyes seemed to be examining whether Chen Changli was following the prince's orders to target the prince as soon as he arrived in Luoyang City.

The Eighth Prince just happened to meet him. Of course, it may also be because the Eighth Prince was the weakest and Chen Changli thought it was easy to manipulate him, so he deliberately caused trouble for him.

"My husband is an upright gentleman, so he won't feel guilty." Wan Shufang noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, and couldn't help but feel a little restless.

She immediately took a step forward and stood side by side with Chen Changli.

When Chen Changli saw her actions, he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

He didn't want to implicate Wan Shufang because of himself, and wanted her to be protected by him, but thinking of her temper, he hesitated for a while and suppressed the thought of protection.

He wanted to protect Wan Shufang, but Wan Shufang had the same idea as him.

If he told Wan Shufang not to come forward, wouldn't it hurt her heart?

Besides, what Concubine De said was nonsense. Who among the people present didn’t know that?

No one stood up to speak for him, and they were clearly weighing the pros and cons.

Chen Changli couldn't help but suspect that if Concubine De had evidence to excuse the eighth prince, Prince Duan, who had previously targeted her, would immediately target him.

Prince Duan would do this probably because in his heart the eighth prince was not a threat, but his and the prince's existence were the biggest disaster.

But what made him full of doubts was the attitude of the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor didn't seem to think that the Eighth Prince would really betray Da Jing.

Even if Princess An Qing did bring the Eighth Prince to Hehe, she would still have the means to get the Eighth Prince to send the news back.

But Concubine De's attitude didn't seem to be like this. Chen Changli had to suspect that Concubine De and the Supreme Emperor had long since separated.

No matter how superb the emperor's methods are, he can't really make use of De Fei.

As the wife of the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Empress pays close attention to the Supreme Emperor and is willing to do anything for the Supreme Emperor.

She went to find Concubine De today, and even quarreled with Concubine De like a shrew in front of outsiders like them. She probably guessed the gap between the Emperor and Concubine De, and wanted to take this opportunity to reveal Concubine De's true identity. The emperor gave up his concubine.

It's a pity that it's not just the Queen who knows the Emperor, but Concubine De also knows something about the Emperor's thoughts.

The Supreme Emperor was clearly conniving with the Supreme Empress before, and Concubine De was not a fool, so how could she not see it.

She really wanted to delay time, so she deliberately talked about something with the Supreme Queen.

However, the Supreme Empress was too irritating. Concubine De had been holding back the hatred in her heart for a long time. Once it burst out, she would naturally vent all her hatred on the Supreme Empress.

After she vented her anger, she also wanted to continue talking about some things and make plans after today.

Not expecting Chen Changli to tell such shocking news, Concubine De was frightened and frightened, and she was even more worried that the Eighth Prince would suffer hardship in Dali Temple.

However, it was inappropriate for the Eighth Prince and Princess An Qing to leave Luoyang City. Concubine De suddenly thought of this and wanted to find an excuse to make amends for them.

The Emperor's subtle attitude gave her an idea, that is, to find a way to explain the innocence of the Eighth Prince and to point out Chen Changli's malice towards the Eighth Prince.

She didn't care what the Emperor's reaction was when he heard what she said. She said impatiently that Chen Changli was working for the Crown Prince, and that's why she wanted to wrongly accuse the Eighth Prince.

Who would have thought that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were not panicked at all? It felt as if the couple had already guessed this.

Concubine De suddenly felt that her behavior was like a joke in front of the couple.

She became a little angry and looked at Chen Changli with dark and fierce eyes, and finally her eyes fell on Wan Shufang.

Thinking that this woman dared to stand up and speak for Chen Changli, Concubine De became even more angry that she had not attacked her before, but had given her a lot of convenience because she wanted to win over her.

"Wan Shufang, my son is the prince, and Chen Changli has a good relationship with the prince. Why is he targeting my son like this, if not for the prince?" Concubine De suppressed her murderous intention towards Wan Shufang and asked in a cold tone. .

When Wan Shufang was questioned like this, she was not at all false. Instead, she asked in confusion: "Why does Concubine De think that His Highness the Crown Prince would let my husband deal with other princes? You must know that His Highness the Crown Prince has never done this before in the capital." thoughts, let alone now.”

"After all, His Highness the Crown Prince has always been extremely filial to the Emperor. The Emperor personally handed over the throne to the new emperor. According to my understanding of His Highness the Crown Prince, he will only put himself in the position of a minister and fulfill his duties loyally to His Majesty. There will be no other thought?"

"You have wronged His Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be that you want to sow discord between the brothers?"

Having said this in one breath, she quickly looked at the new emperor without even looking at Concubine De.

Seeing his brows furrowed, as if there was something incomprehensible that he couldn't figure out, Wan Shufang sighed inwardly.

This new emperor is really inferior to the prince. The emperor chose him as emperor because he really wanted to make him his puppet.

However, a person's ambition will continue to grow. As a prince who was doted on by the Supreme Emperor and grew up, the new emperor's ambition will only grow a lot more.

After he became the emperor, his ambition was like a burning fire that could not be extinguished no matter how hard he put it.

He tried to imprison the Supreme Emperor, but he realized that the Supreme Emperor had left many cards for him.

He is ambitious but unable to secure the throne, so he has to take advantage of the emperor.

As soon as the eighth prince's incident came out, he probably had some thoughts in his heart, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, and why he looked so depressed after Prince Duan spoke.

Could it be that he was thinking wrong? Or maybe, like King Duan, he felt that this matter was beneficial to him and wanted to interfere with it.

With complicated thoughts swirling in her mind, Wan Shufang was a little worried that the new emperor would have random thoughts and cooperate with Concubine De to suspect Chen Changli.

However, no matter how worried she was, Wan Shufang did not show any signs of it and only said calmly: "The relationship between His Royal Highness and the princes is a bit bad, but they are brothers after all. You are here to provoke them. You clearly want the world to see them." It’s a joke, King Duan and the new emperor are wise and will not fall into your trap.”
