Liu Yaoyao didn't expect that the prince would sympathize with Yanran, and her expression showed surprise. But then she thought about Yanran's age, and she could understand why the Crown Princess would sympathize with her.

However, Yanran is extremely talented in poison techniques, and any torture and pain she endures is worth it. After all, the ability to control poisonous insects is not something that anyone who knows poison techniques can master.

The ability that Yanran has is the blessing she has accumulated over several lifetimes. The Crown Princess knows nothing, so why should she stand up for Yanran so much?

Liu Yaoyao thought about this, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is kind-hearted, so she naturally can't stand seeing such a horrible thing. But we are all living on the edge of a knife. It's good enough to be alive. How can we choose the environment in which we live?"

She said this casually, but her contemptuous tone contained a hint of sarcasm towards the Crown Princess.

She seemed to be mocking the Crown Princess's question of why she didn't eat meat porridge, and was also lamenting the miserable life of herself and Yanran.

"Why do Miss Liu's words sound a bit unpleasant? Is it possible that everything Miss Yanran has suffered was caused by us?" Wan Shufang listened to Liu Yaoyao's words and immediately knew what she was sighing about, and her face turned cold.

She admitted that Yanran's experience was pitiful, and like the Crown Princess, she felt sympathy and pity for her, but they were not the executioners who persecuted Yanran. Liu Yaoyao's satire on them was a bit self-righteous and complacent, and she was not ashamed at all.

"Liu Yaoyao, don't confuse us with you." When the Crown Princess heard Wan Shufang's words and pondered Liu Yaoyao's words with deep meaning, she instantly understood the other meaning in her words.

The Crown Princess was both angry and amused. She looked at Liu Yaoyao with extremely cold eyes, but her tone was gentle, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth that was enough to melt the winter snow.

"Miss Yanran can control poisonous insects, and you are so careless as to expose her ability. Could it be that the Eighth Prince is just a pawn in your hands, and if I go to meet him, he might be exposed, so you can't wait to stop me."

"But what's the point of you doing this? I went to see the Eighth Prince and found that his condition was not as I thought. Wouldn't that allow you to hide better? Why did you stop me?"

When the Crown Princess expressed her suspicions here, she felt that the behavior of Liu Yaoyao and her master was a little strange. It was as if the Eighth Prince had some huge secret that they urgently needed to do everything they could to cover up.

But what secrets could the Eighth Prince have? He was now despised by the Emperor and imprisoned in his own house, and he had long lost his former arrogance.

Unless the emperor had his own purposes in imprisoning him in his mansion, Liu Yaoyao and others would have high hopes for the Eighth Prince. However, even so, Liu Yaoyao did not have to go to this extent.

The Crown Princess's thoughts were racing, and she always felt that there was some fog blocking her way.

She wanted to see the bright moon through the clouds, and then get hold of the Eighth Prince's weakness and use it for her own benefit.

But the Eighth Prince hadn't seen it, and Liu Yaoyao's behavior was very strange. No matter how many thoughts the Crown Princess had, no matter how strong her ideas were, she felt like she had no idea where to start.

She hadn't felt this way for a long time, and a feeling of irritation rose in her heart.

Taking a deep breath secretly and exhaling it, the Crown Princess said calmly, "The General's wife and I went to see the Eighth Prince for nothing. You suddenly jumped out, so we had to suspect that you had some kind of deal with the Eighth Prince, which is why you were always paying attention to our whereabouts."

After calmly saying this, the Crown Princess paused for a moment, then continued, "Miss Liu, since your master intends to see me, it means that she is ready to be frank with me. In this case, why don't you tell me clearly?"

Liu Yaoyao's expression stiffened when she heard the Crown Princess' blunt words.

She did have something to tell the Crown Princess, but this matter involved Wan Shufang. If she made it clear in front of Wan Shufang, wouldn't the Crown Princess turn against her?

"Your Highness, your friendship with the general's wife is truly enviable." Liu Yaoyao had something on her mind but she didn't show it on her face. She just said this meaningfully.

Her words seemed to express her envy for the Crown Princess and Wan Shufang, but in fact she was reminding the Crown Princess that if she wanted to know something, she had to ask Wan Shufang to stay away from suspicion.

The Crown Princess understood what she meant, and her face became as gloomy as the dark and oppressive sky covered with dark clouds.

At this time, Wan Shufang tugged at the Crown Princess' sleeve and comforted her softly, "Miss Liu said that, I think what she wants to tell you is very important. In that case, I will stay away for a while."

Seeing that the Crown Princess disagreed, Wan Shufang deliberately lowered her voice and said, "It is most important to find out their purpose now. Let's put other things aside for now."

Wan Shufang heard clearly the meaning of Liu Yaoyao's words.

She had great doubts about Liu Yaoyao, and was also worried that she would say something specious to distract the Crown Princess.

But she asked me to leave without saying anything, as if she was worried that I would cause trouble. No matter how much Wan Shufang doubted her, she could only swallow her anger for the sake of getting to know the truth.

"No matter what she says, I will not hide it from you." The Crown Princess was very dissatisfied with Liu Yaoyao's attitude.

She thought that Liu Yaoyao was trying to alienate herself and Wan Shufang by doing this.

She immediately made a promise to Wan Shufang, asking her not to separate from her.

Wan Shufang understood what she was thinking and wanted to comfort her and tell her not to think too much, but Liu Yaoyao was standing right next to her and the look in her eyes was quite subtle.

She couldn't help but suspect that Liu Yaoyao did this on purpose. After all, after the Crown Princess knew something from her, she would most likely tell her, so what was the point of Liu Yaoyao's defense like this? It was nothing more than disgusting her.

Wan Shufang was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Yaoyao's little trick, but Liu Yaoyao had information that she didn't know, and she also had a little girl who could control poisonous insects standing by her side.

If she doesn't cooperate, she will have to face attacks from many poisonous insects.

Although he has the hospital space as a golden finger and is not afraid of the threat posed by poisonous insects, the hospital space cannot be exposed, otherwise it will bring him great disaster.

Wan Shufang's mind raced, and she naturally weighed the pros and cons quickly. Then, she followed Liu Yaoyao's wishes and appeased the Crown Princess. She retreated to the dilapidated courtyard gate, away from them, leaving them space to talk.

Seeing Wan Shufang being so honest and dutiful, Liu Yaoyao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, then winked at Yanran and said, "You should go and accompany the general's wife, so that she won't have any wild thoughts."

"Yes." Yanran immediately came to Wan Shufang's side and asked innocently, "Madam General, I heard that you once helped the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect to refine poisons. I wonder how toxic your poisons are? Can they compare to the poisonous insects I control?"
