Chen Changli stretched out his hand to rub his face to make himself look gentler, but when he saw Xu Qinglu's suspicious eyes, his face turned cold.

"Xu Qinglu, if you have any doubts, feel free to tell me. I'm free today and I'll be happy to help you answer your doubts." Chen Changli's tone was calm, but the look on his face was different.

"Doubts? What doubts can I have?" Xu Qinglu's face was full of sarcasm, "The Queen didn't come to see me, so I confirmed my thoughts, so I have no doubts at the moment, I am only worried about the Crown Prince."

She put her head on her forehead, as if she wanted to squeeze out.

Chen Changli took half a step back and said in a calm voice: "Is Tu Yuanzhou determined to conquer the great scene? The prince really has no chance of winning against him."

Looking deeply at Chen Changli, seeing that he was waiting for her answer, Xu Qinglu's lips curved with a hint of irony.

But when she thought about the prince, Xu Qinglu no longer wanted to ridicule Chen Changli.

She suppressed her sarcasm and said in a cold voice: "He has been preparing for many years. Once he made up his mind, he naturally had the intention of becoming the master of the world. But I have never gotten along with the prince very much, and I don't know the prince well."

"However, through a casual relationship, I know that the prince is a very gentle person, and Tu Yuanzhou will definitely take advantage of his weakness to deal cruel blows to him."

Sighing, Xu Qinglu looked at Chen Changli with confusion.

"Why didn't the old emperor send you to the Western Region? You are the one who knows how to march and fight. Is the old emperor crazy? He actually sent the prince there. Did he guess that Tu Yuanzhou had a deep grudge against the royal family? Are you going to use his hand to get rid of the prince? "

"It's possible." Chen Changli followed her words.

Xu Qinglu said with a dark face: "Then why don't you go to the Western Region with the prince?"

Chen Changli sneered: "Your Majesty doesn't allow it, so what can I do? Do I have to disobey the imperial edict? I still have a family to support."

After being refuted like this, Xu Qinglu's expression softened a lot.

She was silent for a moment before saying, "I want to see An Qing."

Chen Changli said unhappily, "You can't even see the Queen, so how can you think you can see Princess An Qing?"

Although Princess An Qing was imprisoned next door, she had the attention of the emperor and his wife, and she also had the ability to prevent the emperor and his wife from acting rashly.

At best, Xu Qinglu was the leader of the White Lotus Sect, but at worst, she was a subordinate of Princess An Qing.

In the eyes of the emperor and his wife, she was not even as good as a hair of Princess An Qing, so how could she dare to say that she wanted to see the empress or Princess An Qing.

Chen Changli became more and more curious about Xu Qinglu's thoughts and couldn't help but stare at her, not missing the slightest change on her face.

Noticing that Chen Changli's gaze was a little strange, Xu Qinglu understood what he was thinking after a second thought. She glanced at him angrily and said angrily: "It's not that you are useless. If you were useful, why would I be trapped here?"

She raised her chin high and said extremely sarcastically: "Chen Changli, in the final analysis, you, the general, just sound nice. In fact, neither the emperor nor the empress take you seriously."

"You are more pathetic than I thought. Tsk tsk. You also said you want to protect your family. How are you going to protect them like you are? I think it's better to die with them."

Xu Qinglu was not optimistic about Chen Changli at all, and believed that if he did not seek refuge with Tu Yuanzhou, he might die with his family.

"Tu Yuanzhou's temper is not very good, but his greatest advantage is that he treats meritorious officials well."

"Chen Changli, you are a good soldier when marching and fighting. If you meet a Mingjun, you will not only have a bright future, but also your reputation with Mingjun will last forever."

"However, you met the old emperor. As far as I know, the old emperor is suspicious and cruel, and you are closely related to the Xu family. The old emperor will only become more and more wary of you and will not reuse you at all."

"Now that the prince has been sent to the Western Region again, you and your family are the only ones staying in Luoyang City. If the old emperor has any bad intentions towards your family, how can you still survive?"

"Just listen to my advice and think about Tu Yuanzhou for a while. With me here, you can not only become a general, but when Tu Yuanzhou's big things are accomplished, you might also be able to become a duke."

Xu Qinglu suddenly changed her face and persuaded Chen Changli wholeheartedly, as if she really felt that Chen Changli would not end well if he loyal to the old emperor, so it was better to find a way to join Tu Yuanzhou.

She believed that Tu Yuanzhou would reuse Chen Changli so that his martial arts skills would be fully utilized and he would not be left in the dust.

"Even if Tu Yuanzhou treats the hero well, he won't treat me well, just because Quanrong and Hehe are already married, and I once beat Quanrong until he knelt down and begged for mercy."

Chen Changli was unmoved, and only put forward a fact in a slow tone to block Xu Qinglu's words.

"Quin Rong hates me to the core. If Tu Yuanzhou really attacks Dajing, they will definitely let Tu Yuanzhou kill me."

"In other words, even if Tu Yuanzhou takes control of Hehe, he still has to consider the opinions of Hehe and Quanrong. He cannot reuse me on his own will."

"Your persuasion is like a castle in the air and cannot stand up to scrutiny at all, so why do you bother to talk so much?"

"No matter how good Tu Yuanzhou is, that's between you and Princess An Qing and has nothing to do with me at all."

"Instead of trying to find ways to win over me for him, you might as well tell me what you really think."

Chen Changli had something to say, and Xu Qing's face turned green when she showed up. She was so angry that she turned around and stopped looking at Chen Changli.

"I am indeed worried about the prince, but there is no room for change, and I have no better way. But if I can see An Qing, maybe I can come up with a good idea through her."

"Don't you regard the prince as a friend? Now that you know that the prince is your cousin, are you willing to take a risk for your cousin?"

Xu Qinglu deliberately prolonged her voice, as if to test how far Chen Changli could go for the prince.

"I will let you meet Princess An Qing." Chen Changli said without hesitation.

He answered too quickly, as if he didn't think about it at all. Xu Qinglu felt a little surprised and quickly turned around to look at him.

Seeing that there was nothing strange on his face, as if he was not worried at all about what he would encounter next, Xu Qinglu's heart was in her throat.

"Are you kidding me? Chen Changli, the old emperor is watching you. If she knew what you were doing, she would definitely suspect you."

"If your behavior cannot withstand scrutiny, you will be punished by the old emperor. How will the old emperor punish a traitor? You can imagine it without me describing it, so have you really made up your mind?"

At the end of Xu Qinglu's words, she unconsciously softened her tone. She was a little unsure of the meaning of Chen Changli's words. If it was a joke, her nervousness might become a joke.

Chen Changli said with deep meaning: "I am worried about the prince, so I am willing to let you come up with an idea for me."
