Wan Shufang was very surprised that Xu Qinglu had the guts to conspire against Princess An Qing. Didn't she ever think about the possibility that Chen Changli might not be willing to cooperate with her?

Or is she so confident that Chen Changli is willing to cooperate with her and gain the trust of Princess An Qing? But Princess An Qing is not a fool, so how could she not try to figure out the information she gave?

Wan Shufang's mind suddenly turned to something bad, and she immediately looked at Chen Changli with worry, her expression somewhat hesitant to speak.

Chen Changli noticed that her expression changed a little, and he had no idea what she was thinking.

Xu Qinglu was indeed quite bold and dared to make some false promises.

If Princess An Qing believed this, it could only mean that Xu Qinglu was eloquent, or that Princess An Qing was in urgent need of military defense plans, so she couldn't wait to hope that Xu Qinglu could take advantage of Chen Changli.

Chen Changli had actually already guessed what the two might say during the transaction, and he also wanted to take advantage of the situation and find out what Princess An Qing might be up to.

He thought for a moment and said, "Princess An Qing thinks I can get the military defense map. It's obvious that she thinks I'm backing her up. She might be testing me, but the bait she threw is very tempting. I'm willing to cooperate with Xu Qinglu and give it a try."

After hearing this, Wan Shufang took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief, and said: "I think Xu Qinglu is using you. Princess An Qing knows her better than we do, so the cooperation between the two of them is very likely to be Princess An Qing." Take advantage."

"Xu Qinglu couldn't control Princess An Qing, so she pushed you out. If you value the benefits Xu Qinglu may bring to you and choose to cooperate with her, you may have fallen into Princess An Qing's scheme."

Wan Shufang is not at ease about this matter, and is also worried that Xu Qinglu will have the opposite effect.

She immediately turned her head, wanting to tell all the troubles Xu Qinglu might cause, and then began to wonder about Princess An Qing's thoughts.

She believed that Princess An Qing might have understood Xu Qinglu's plot against her. She deliberately pretended not to know about it and chose to cooperate with Xu Qinglu, which was clearly aimed at Chen Changli.

"Your worry is not without reason." Chen Changli sighed, "But even so, I have to give it a try."

"Are you worried about the Crown Prince?" Wan Shufang thought that the reason he took the risk was because he was worried about the Crown Prince, and she couldn't help but feel her heart in her throat. "I think Princess An Qing must know about the Crown Prince's trip to the border."

"In order to stop the prince, she might contact Tu Yuanzhou. You must have guessed this and wanted to cooperate with Xu Qinglu."

"Although stopping Princess An Qing can prevent Tu Yuanzhou from understanding the specific situation of Luoyang City, it is too risky for you to do so, and it is very likely that the emperor will misunderstand."

Wan Shufang actually agreed with Chen Changli's approach, but the emperor was also paying attention to Princess An Qing. If Chen Changli cooperated with Xu Qinglu and Princess An Qing to get closer, he would definitely notice and become suspicious.

Chen Changli knew this, but felt that Princess An Qing had not made a breakthrough for a long time, and the emperor's patience might have reached its peak.

He deliberately chose to contact Princess An Qing and step into the tiger's den. Even if the emperor was dissatisfied, he would probably choose to let him do so.

After all, the threat posed by Tu Yuanzhou would cause the entire Dajing Empire to be destroyed. The emperor has not chosen a successor yet, nor has he chosen a puppet to sit on the throne like before.

If Dajing is overthrown by the rebels, he, the emperor, will be the king of subjugation and will be infamy for thousands of years in the future.

The emperor cared about his reputation, so how could he allow himself to be infamous for eternity?

He purposely trapped Princess An Qing in the Dali Temple, probably because he thought Princess An Qing could become a breakthrough point, making everything the traitor Tu Yuanzhou had done come to naught.

I don't know where the emperor's confidence came from, nor what back-up he had, why he only left himself in Luoyang City and let the prince go to the border. Did he think that the prince going to the border would make Tu Yuanzhou restrain himself?

Chen Changli's mind was full of inexplicable thoughts, and he felt more and more that the emperor had his own intentions in doing this. However, he was not sure where his confidence came from, and whether the situation on the border would develop as he expected.

Rubbing his fingers, Chen Changli told Wan Shufang what he was thinking, and said with a worried look: "My behavior may make His Majesty suspicious, but after doing this, I may be able to find out His Majesty's backup plan. If I know His Majesty's backup plan, I may be able to help His Majesty in Luoyang City."

When Wan Shufang heard what he said, she couldn't help but feel confused.

Seeing this, Chen Changli held her hand tenderly, smiled slightly and said, "Before Xu Qinglu takes advantage of her, I will go to the palace to see His Majesty and try to make him understand what I am doing."

"Do you want him to be aware of it, so that when someone says something specious in front of him, he can completely stand on your side?" Wan Shufang's voice had a hint of hazy melancholy, "He might do this. , but when the future comes to settle accounts, he will also turn his back and deny anyone."

When Chen Changli heard these words, he frowned unconsciously and almost lost the color on his lips.

He hadn't thought of this, he just didn't want to think about it further.

"Chen Changli, do you really want to take the risk?" Wan Shufang saw that Chen Changli didn't look good and immediately looked at him worriedly.

"I want to take a gamble." Chen Changli made up his mind.

Xu Qinglu might have the intention of taking advantage of him, but he also wanted to know something from Xu Qinglu. The two of them were actually using each other.

Princess An Qing may have guessed this. She was willing to cooperate with Xu Qinglu and believed that Chen Changli might be won over.

In this case, he simply raised this possibility, letting Princess An Qing and Xu Qinglu unconsciously reveal some flaws in their internal fight.

"Now that you have made up your mind, then go ahead and do it. No matter how your Majesty reacts after knowing this, or what actions he will take after that, I will face everything with you." Wan Shufang's face became gentle, and her hands tightened Hold Chen Changli's hand to express your determination to support him.

Chen Changli smiled at her and said, "I will talk to His Majesty about this matter. If he is willing, he will not put me in a dilemma."

"Are you so confident?" Wan Shufang gave him a reproachful look and said unhappily, "Our emperor is not narrow-minded. If he suspects you, he doesn't need any evidence to silence you."

She was not optimistic about the emperor at all, and doubted that Chen Changli's telling the emperor about the matter would make the emperor have other ideas.

Everything Chen Changli is doing now may also be making wedding clothes for the emperor.

However, even if the emperor had many faults, if Chen Changli did not want to be hated by the emperor, he had to tell him some of his plans to prevent him from having unnecessary thoughts.

When her thoughts turned to this, Wan Shufang sighed, but her eyes fell on Chen Changli's face.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to poke Chen Changli's cheek, making a small hole in his face, and said seriously: "He is not trustworthy, we have to prepare a way out in advance."
