After hearing this, the Crown Princess was silent for a long time, then she forced a smile and said, "If the Eighth Prince is hiding in the dark waiting to pick the fruit, then what does Princess An Qing's many calculations mean?"

When she said this, her brows knitted into a knot and her expression gradually became a little puzzled.

She chose to cooperate with Princess An Qing, which seemed mutually beneficial on the surface, but in fact she wanted to take advantage of Princess An Qing.

But Princess An Qing was more cunning than she thought. If she didn't give her some benefits, there was no way she could get anything out of her.

Also, Princess An Qing was very cautious and didn't want to let any news leak out. Even though the Crown Princess hoped that Princess An Qing could become a breakthrough, she didn't dare to hold out hope for her.

She just wanted to eliminate all threats to herself one by one, and then use Princess An Qing's hatred for the Queen to avenge herself.

Unfortunately, Princess An Qing didn't even seem to give her this opportunity, so she had to plan other things.

"Maybe it's to hide from others." Wan Shufang guessed what the Crown Princess was thinking and knew that she was not in a good mood at the moment, so she reached out and patted the back of her hand gently, her tone gentle and soothing.

Princess An Qing had been the Queen of Ulan for many years, and she had established a relationship with the rebels very early on.

Her mind had long been twisted. If the Crown Princess was not valuable to her, she would not even be in her eyes.

If the Crown Princess fails to recognize this point and insists on thinking that Princess An Qing will become a chess piece in her hands, she will only be bitten back at by Princess An Qing.

Fortunately, the Crown Princess still had some sense and did not think that Princess An Qing would be exploited just because she was easy to talk to.

But because Princess An Qing is not easy to use, the Crown Princess will probably have to think twice before doing anything in the near future.

Now that he is bringing me to see the Eighth Prince, besides testing him, I think he also has strong suspicions about him.

Wan Shufang had not thought of the Eighth Prince before, because after the Eighth Prince was imprisoned, neither the emperor nor the Eighth Prince himself did anything unusual.

She thought that the Eighth Prince would remain silent, but she didn't expect that he might have the connections left by Concubine De, and used poison to control many people for his own use.

"I'm sure Princess An Qing really hates the Queen. Once she makes up her mind to take action, she will never allow herself to fail."

"The doctor's disappearance is a hot topic right now. The queen is very smart, so how could she not guess what Princess An Qing is thinking?"

"But she still did it, which means Princess An Qing is sure that the queen will fall into the trap. She is so sure because she must have someone close to the queen."

"I think she's working with you to provoke the Queen. When the Queen can't hold back any longer, she'll throw you out as a pawn to attract the Queen's attention, and then severely injure the Queen."

Many thoughts flashed through Wan Shufang's mind, each of which was somewhat outrageous. She did not dare to tell these thoughts to the Crown Princess, and could only persuade the Crown Princess based on Princess An Qing's thoughts.

She hoped that she would think more about Princess An Qing the next time she took action, so as not to alert the enemy. However, she did not say it clearly, but only tactfully reminded the Crown Princess to think more.

The Crown Princess was intelligent and knew her position clearly, so she understood what Wan Shufang meant.

She fell into deep thought, a layer of haze gradually crept up between her brows, but soon it spread out and turned into a layer of tenderness that was enough to melt one's heart.

"I understand your worries, but there are some things that must be done, otherwise I will regret it." The Crown Princess said solemnly, and there was a little more trust in her eyes when she looked at Wan Shufang.

Wan Shufang nodded to the Crown Princess upon hearing this: "No matter what happens, I will help you."

The Crown Princess's willingness to give trust means that she has abandoned the idea of ​​a noble lady from an aristocratic family devoting everything to her family.

Now she only wants to take revenge according to her own wishes. As for what happens next, she doesn't ask for anything and doesn't think too much about it.

Although Wan Shufang had no idea what the Crown Princess was thinking, the change in her attitude was obvious. In addition, Chen Xiyun had been to Duke Cheng'en's mansion before, and when she heard Yun Qiongying talk about Duke Cheng'en, she knew that what the couple had said about Duke Cheng'en was right.

To Lord Cheng'en, his beloved daughter is naturally important, but no matter how important a daughter is, she cannot compare to the glory of the family, let alone other people in the family.

So when faced with the possible choices the emperor might make, Duke Cheng'en, after weighing the pros and cons, would decide to give up his daughter and choose his family.

The Crown Princess is a typical noble lady from an aristocratic family. Even though she has been married to the Crown Prince for many years and has feelings for him, she is still thinking about her family and wants to dedicate everything to the family's glory. This is why the Queen attacked her without any mercy.

When the Crown Princess suddenly learned the truth and was scorned by the Queen, the unwillingness in her heart was like a surging wave that threatened to drown her completely.

She regretted her actions because of the hatred for not being able to have children again, and Duke Cheng'en chose her at this time and gave her a safe haven.

She still had some attachment to her family, but as time passed and she saw the Queen getting better and better, the Crown Princess's mind changed again.

She wanted to deal with the queen and vent her anger for the suffering she had endured.

Duke Cheng'en did not stop her, but he did not support her either.

The Crown Princess did not want to implicate Duke Cheng'en, so she had no choice but to contact Wan Shufang and discuss with her how to take revenge on the Queen.

But at this time, she still didn't trust Wan Shufang, so when Madam Yu appeared, she had one more choice, and she also secretly cooperated with Princess An Qing.

It was not until she was sure that Princess An Qing was not trustworthy and that the Crown Prince firmly chose her and would not choose the Queen based on the so-called mother-son relationship that her uneasy heart finally felt at peace. She then began to think seriously about her situation and the consequences of her choice.

It was also at this moment that the fact that Lord Cheng'en abandoned her for fear of imperial power became public, and she truly realized what she meant to the family.

She didn't want to be a useless chess piece, but her position as the Crown Princess had long been unstable. Lord Cheng'en chose to give up on her for the sake of his family. She could understand but couldn't accept it, so she decided to completely abandon her attachment to her family and live only for herself.

Wan Shufang guessed that it was because the Crown Princess wanted to live for herself that she was so active in trying to test the Eighth Prince. She just didn't know whether the Eighth Prince really used poison to control so many people as she thought, causing Princess An Qing to be reluctant to give up on him.

"Crown Princess, isn't the Eighth Prince imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion? Will we attract attention if we go there like this?" Thinking of the Eighth Prince, Wan Shufang suddenly realized a problem and hurriedly asked the Crown Princess.

"I have arranged everything. We will go in directly through the back door later." The Crown Princess signaled Wan Shufang to be at ease.

Hearing this, Wan Shufang felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, the carriage stopped suddenly. She almost lost her balance and hit the railing.

At the critical moment, she held on to the railing tightly and prevented herself from being hit.

After steadying herself, Wan Shufang asked in confusion, "What happened?"
