The emperor's thoughts were somewhat obvious. No matter how much Wan Shufang didn't want to think too deeply about it, she could guess what he was thinking through his individual attitude.

She was unhappy that the Emperor used the Crown Princess as an excuse, but when she thought of what Chen Changli had said to her, she was worried that the Crown Princess would be hurt.

"Chen Changli, do you think the Crown Princess will never recover after the blow she suffered?" Wan Shufang asked worriedly.

Chen Changli was silent for a while before he said, "The Crown Princess hates the Queen. Even if Lord Cheng'en is unwilling to help the Crown Princess because of other family members, she can understand Lord Cheng'en and will never be hurt by his refusal."

Having said this, he looked at Wan Shufang with burning eyes and said gently, "Besides, the Crown Princess has met the Crown Prince, and the decision she has made now may be what the Crown Prince wants."

Wan Shufang had never thought about this before. When she heard Chen Changli say this, she couldn't help but feel curious and surprised.

She asked quickly: "Why do you say that? Could it be that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have agreed on something in such a short time?"

When she said this, she immediately recalled the situation at that time and found that the prince and the princess did not stay together for long.

If the two of them had something to discuss, there would be no time for them to communicate with each other and work out a conclusion.

Chen Changli said confidently, "I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely make his attitude known to the Crown Princess, so that she doesn't have to worry about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After hearing this explanation, although Wan Shufang still had some doubts in her heart, she was willing to believe that the Crown Prince cared about the Crown Princess, so she took such a short time to comfort the Crown Princess so that she didn't have to worry about her husband.

"The Crown Princess hasn't felt any sense of urgency recently. I guess it's really the Crown Prince who comforted her." Wan Shufang thought of a piece of evidence, and a look of relief appeared on her face.

She said calmly: "As long as the Crown Princess can stay calm, no matter what the Queen and her husband plan, the Crown Princess will not be calculated by them."

As she spoke, she stroked her chin and continued to think, and soon her thoughts turned to Princess An Qing.

The Crown Princess chose to cooperate with Princess An Qing because she was worried that the Crown Prince would be caught between her and the Queen after his return.

The Crown Prince cares about the Crown Princess and is aware of the Queen’s sinister intentions.

Between the two of them, he chose the Crown Princess, so the Crown Princess would definitely have more confidence and would no longer be so eager to deal with the Queen.

Princess An Qing's sudden action will definitely make the Crown Princess suspicious.

If she went to ask Princess An Qing about it, she might hear some misleading words.

She did not take the bewitching words seriously, but decided to be open and honest with Cheng'en. It was obvious that the prince had left her a trump card. I just don't know what the prince had left for her, and whether the Crown Princess can make good use of it?

With this in mind, Wan Shufang understood more and more why Princess An Qing wanted to start with the Crown Princess.

She obviously wanted to use the Crown Princess to test the Emperor and his wife. No matter what choice Duke Cheng'en made, she would be invincible.

In this matter, if the Crown Princess cannot keep her composure, then the one who will suffer the loss will only be the Crown Princess, and it will have little to do with Princess An Qing.

Unless the Emperor and his wife are prepared to break off relations with her at this time, the Crown Princess will have to take the blame for her.

Even if the Emperor and his wife knew about this, they would tacitly push the Crown Princess out to prevent Princess An Qing from falling out with them.

Lord Cheng'en is the Crown Princess's father and also the Emperor's confidant. He is definitely able to understand the Emperor's thoughts.

For the Crown Princess's safety, he would definitely explain everything to her.

If the Crown Princess cannot let go of her hatred and is determined to seize this opportunity to deal with the Queen, even if Lord Cheng'en will abandon her, he will probably find a way to protect her.

In other words, as long as the Crown Princess is not confused, she can still use this matter to benefit herself.

"I hope the Crown Princess can stay sober and not be upset by Lord Cheng'en's words." Wan Shufang figured out a lot of things as her mind raced. Although she was very worried about the Crown Princess, she knew that nothing would happen to her and she would just be angry.

She believed that even if the Crown Princess was angry, she would not do anything bad, because she knew what to do and she knew what to do to maximize her own interests.

"Some things are not as difficult as we think. All we have to do is wait and see." Chen Changli could guess some of Duke Cheng'en's thoughts, and he knew that he would persuade the Crown Princess not to act rashly.

Wan Shufang agreed: "That's true."

Although she had some ideas, she also knew that some things were not easy to do, otherwise the people who had been keeping an eye on her and her husband would use this as a handle to blackmail them.

Wan Shufang is not afraid of threats, but she also does not want to be threatened, so she tries to avoid some things if possible. If she cannot avoid them, she can only face the challenges head-on.

"Tomorrow I will go to see His Majesty to test his opinion on Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, and then I will go to see Princess Anqing."

Seeing that Wan Shufang had figured everything out, Chen Changli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He began to talk about his plans, and was ready to complete the test and then go to inquire about the royal manor.

Wan Shufang understood what he meant and immediately said, "Just do whatever you want to do. Don't worry about me. I don't have anything to do here. Even if I do, I will discuss it with you."

The couple spent half a day talking to each other, and then they knew exactly what they were going to do.

The two of them said no more, but gathered their strength to prepare for tomorrow's events.

The next day at dawn, Chen Changli entered the palace.

It was after breakfast that Wan Shufang reminded Chen Xiyun to be more careful when she saw Yun Qiongying and not to say the wrong thing that would make Yun Qiongying sad.

Chen Xiyun understood Wan Shufang's worries. After going to Cheng'en Mansion to meet Yun Qiongying, she said nothing and just accompanied her silently.

When Yun Qiongying heard that she was coming, she hid all her emotions so as not to let her see anything.

But Chen Xiyun said nothing and just stayed with her. When Yun Qiongying felt her kindness, an inexplicable emotion arose in her heart.

She couldn't help but look at Chen Xiyun, her expression hesitant, as if she wanted to say something, but because she had some concerns in her heart, she quickly swallowed her words back.

Chen Xiyun noticed the change in her expression, her heart rose to her throat, and some words began to roll in her throat, but she didn't know how to say it, so she could only swallow the words back silently.

"Xiyun, do you have anything to ask?" Yun Qiongying felt that the surrounding environment was depressing. The overly quiet atmosphere made her nerves tense. She couldn't stand it and asked quickly.

"Just be prepared to answer whatever I ask." Chen Xiyun said with a hint of meaning.

Yun Qiongying's expression changed slightly, obviously she was not ready for this.

Chen Xiyun caught her emotional changes and knew that she was in a complicated mood at the moment. She said with sympathy, "In fact, I guessed what you wanted to say, but some things are hard to say out loud, so as not to remind you of sad things."
