Chapter 854 Suspicion of the Eighth Prince

Hearing the Crown Princess' half-smiley words, the maid sent by Chen Mingyue was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body trembled. She said no more and turned around to escape.

"Come here, quickly catch her." Seeing that she was about to escape, Wan Shufang immediately had someone catch her, and then sarcastically said, "You used the name of the Crown Princess to deceive me. Why didn't your master ask about the Crown Princess and my whereabouts before this? Why does she look down on us so much?"

The Crown Princess's eyes were filled with confusion: "Who is your master? How could he be so stupid?"

She didn't even choose a good time to lie to people, but chose to lie when she came to her house. Was she afraid that she and Wan Shufang would not discover her plan?

"Could it be the wife of Duke Huiguo?" Seeing that the maid kept her mouth shut and did not answer the Crown Princess, Wan Shufang deliberately observed her and immediately discovered that her clothes were not something that ordinary people could afford, so she immediately locked in a candidate.

"I know nothing." When the maid heard Wan Shufang guessed the answer to Chen Mingyue's question, she was so frightened that a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She then wanted to commit suicide to save Chen Mingyue.

Seeing her struggling and trying to die by banging her head against the wall, Wan Shufang immediately concluded that her guess was true.

She said with a half-smile, "I didn't expect Chen Mingyue to have such a loyal maid. No wonder she was so arrogant and wanton. It's a pity that her little calculations were seen through. I just don't know if your death will make her cry."

When the maid heard this, she tried her best to refute: "I am really from the Cheng'en Mansion. I am here to invite you on behalf of the Crown Princess."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly pushed away the people who had restrained her, wanting to save Chen Mingyue at the cost of her own life.

She was truly loyal to Chen Mingyue, which was why she was able to break free from her restraints with extreme resistance. However, the person who captured her was not an ordinary person, and he quickly captured her back in his hands.

She realized she couldn't escape, so she tried to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but her jaw was removed so she didn't even have the chance to do so.

"Lock her up first, and deal with her after we find Chen Mingyue." The Crown Princess watched from the side and couldn't help but feel that this little maid was very loyal to Chen Mingyue.

Unfortunately, Chen Mingyue was too self-righteous. She didn't check anything clearly and let the little maid come over to deceive others.

She happened to come to the general's mansion today, which caused the maid's action to fail.

However, the maid's performance made the Crown Princess very interested in what Chen Mingyue was about to do. She wanted to find out everything and then look for Chen Mingyue. In this way, she might be able to understand some of Chen Mingyue's little thoughts.

When Wan Shufang heard the Crown Princess' words, she knew that she was interested in Chen Mingyue's plan, so she immediately did as she said, locked up the little maid first, and then checked Chen Mingyue's recent whereabouts, "Take her away and lock her up."

After the maid was taken away, Wan Shufang quickly looked at the Crown Princess, with a puzzled look on her face: "How dare Chen Mingyue send someone to find me at this time? Doesn't she want to protect herself?"

The Crown Princess guessed, "Perhaps there has been some progress with Madam Yu, which is why Chen Mingyue dared to deal with you."

After she said this, she suddenly remembered that she had not told Wan Shufang about what she had discussed with Mrs. Yu.

She quickly winked at Wan Shufang, signaling her to follow her into the carriage, and then told her what she and Madam Yu had discussed, and said sincerely: "I just wanted to stimulate Chen Mingyue and let her find a way to get close to the queen. I didn't expect that she would set her sights on you."

After hearing the Crown Princess' explanation, Wan Shufang immediately guessed what Chen Mingyue was thinking and said nonchalantly, "Chen Mingyue may know what the Queen is doing, so she wants to deal with me to please the Queen."

After saying this, she thought of Chen Mingyue's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh at Chen Mingyue's boldness.

"To be honest, Chen Mingyue is still somewhat courageous, but her ability is not good enough, otherwise the queen would definitely choose her instead of Mo Lanlan."

The Crown Princess was not optimistic about Chen Mingyue at all. She just said coldly, "She has such courage. Someone must have given her the confidence."

When Wan Shufang heard her say this, she immediately thought of Duke Huiguo and said thoughtfully, "Will Duke Huiguo help her? You know, he asked Chen Mingyue to marry him because Chen Mingyue's actions made him lose face. And he didn't want to be compared with the General's Mansion, so he forced Chen Mingyue to marry him."

Duke Huiguo is a man who is willing to lose face and knows how to deal with current affairs, but if you say that he is willing to help Chen Mingyue and give Chen Mingyue the confidence to bully others, Wan Shufang feels that there may be other things involved, which may have caused Duke Huiguo, who has always been cautious, to lose his caution.

"Who knows what Duke Huiguo is thinking? But they are a couple, and this matter might have been discussed by them together. It seems that we must continue to be vigilant and not take it lightly."

The Crown Princess didn't care about Duke Huiguo's support for Chen Mingyue, but after hearing Wan Shufang's words, she remembered that Duke Huiguo was also the Emperor's confidant.

He knew the emperor very well, so he was able to do things under the emperor's nose without being held accountable by the emperor.

He is now willing to help Chen Mingyue deal with Wan Shufang. Could it be that he has figured out the emperor's mind and is ready to please him?

Thinking that Duke Huiguo might have guessed the Emperor's thoughts and used Chen Mingyue to help the Queen, the Crown Princess became alert and couldn't help but guess Duke Huiguo's intentions.

Unfortunately, she has been busy with her own affairs recently and has not had any contact with anyone from the Duke of Huiguo's Mansion. Naturally, she doesn't know what changes in the Duke of Huiguo's mind have taken place recently.

She only knew that Chen Mingyue was a chess piece that could be used very well. Since she had decided to use her to test the Queen, she had to be fully prepared and not let her backfire on her.

After thinking it over and over again, the Crown Princess had more ideas in her mind, and she knew what she should do to make her dreams come true.

But before that, she had to take Wan Shufang to see the Eighth Prince and let Wan Shufang see if there was anything wrong with the Eighth Prince.

"Wan Shufang, I suspect that Princess An Qing was able to allow her people to pass through the Dali Temple unhindered because she had used poison to control many people before."

"De Fei had worked with her before, and also obtained a lot of poison from her. After De Fei died, I suspect that the connections that De Fei controlled with poison all fell into the hands of the Eighth Prince."

"Although the Eighth Prince has some grudges against my father and Princess An Qing because of Concubine De's death, as long as the poison and those connections are in his hands, he can still choose to forget the hatred and cooperate with Princess An Qing, or negotiate with my father in this way."

"That's why I suspect that the reason why the Eighth Prince is so fearless is because of those people who are controlled by the poison. I decided to take you to see the Eighth Prince to test him."

When the Crown Princess told him her purpose for today, her expression suddenly became very solemn. It can be seen that although she had this guess, she was more worried that her guess was wrong, which would cause the Eighth Prince to hate her.

Wan Shufang understood her thoughts, reached out and held her hand, and gently comforted her: "Since you have doubts, you have to take the risk once, otherwise we will have planned everything and someone will secretly pick the fruits."
