Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

The appearance of Lord Cheng'en made the Crown Princess' expression change slightly. After hearing his words, her expression relaxed and she frowned thoughtfully.

"Dad, did you lock up Haitang just to find more clues through her?" Yun Qiongying looked at the Crown Princess cautiously, and seeing that she was frowning as if she was thinking about something, she asked Lord Cheng'en with a little relief.

Her question immediately brought the Crown Princess back to her senses.

The Crown Princess looked at Lord Cheng'en and met his calm expression, knowing full well that her actions were all within his expectations.

He didn't say anything, but just asked himself to meet Wan Shufang, and then took Wan Shufang to meet the Eighth Prince. He also wanted to support her.

It's just that Lord Cheng'en cares more about his family, so he is unwilling to support her openly.

The Crown Princess could understand his thoughts, but could not accept his behavior, because such a Duke Cheng'en reminded her of the Queen.

Duke Cheng'en is her father. Since he chose her as the Crown Princess, he would naturally support her with all his strength. But if he no longer supports her, it means that he will ease his relationship with the Queen.

The Queen is the Crown Princess' enemy, and the Crown Princess hates her to the core. Now she chooses to cooperate with Princess An Qing in order to deal with the Queen and make sure that she will never be able to be proud again.

Duke Cheng'en's easing of his relationship with the Queen was a betrayal to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess wanted to question Lord Cheng En, asking him what he thought of the Queen and herself? Were they pawns that could be lifted up at any time?

But when she saw Lord Cheng'en's calm and indifferent expression, the Crown Princess felt that there was no point in asking.

She immediately adjusted her mood and followed Yun Qiongying's words and asked, "Dad, what did you find out?"

Duke Cheng En did not answer the Crown Princess, but looked at Wan Shufang and asked calmly, "How much do you know about Gu worms, Madam General?"

Wan Shufang shook her head: "I don't know much about poisonous insects. I don't even know how they work in the human body or how they are controlled by humans."

When she said this, she thought of the Crown Princess being poisoned by a Gu, and she quickly said, "I was able to remove the Gu from the Crown Princess' body because I had a secret method, but the Gu was not easy to be found, and my secret method was not easy to use, which led to me not discovering the Gu in Haitang's body before."

If Wan Shufang hadn't noticed the insect moving, she wouldn't have thought of the poisonous insect.

Now that she has discovered the poisonous insect, thinking of Yanran who is able to control the poisonous insect, she has a bigger doubt in her heart: how did Yanran do it? Isn't she afraid of backlash?

"I do have someone here who knows something about the poisonous insects." Lord Cheng En couldn't help but show disappointment on his face when he heard Wan Shufang's words, "But that person is old and has a high reputation. He disappeared inexplicably recently."

"I can't find him, so I can't ask him to help me check the Gu worm. I thought the general's wife was a skilled doctor, and she helped my daughter before, so she would be able to tell whether there is a Gu worm in the human body. I didn't expect you don't know much about Gu worms."

Lord Cheng'en's tone was uncontrollably low, and it was obvious that tracking down the poisonous insect was very important to him.

The Crown Princess heard this and looked at him with confusion.

Isn't Duke Cheng'en loyal to the emperor? Why is he now investigating the poisonous insect? Is this the emperor's intention?

But why did the emperor want to get involved? He had a lot of things to do.

The Crown Princess felt more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it. She even became unsteady and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Wan Shufang reacted quickly, supported her and let her lean on her.

The Crown Princess calmed down for a moment, stretched out her hand to rub her swollen forehead, and asked Lord Cheng'en: "Dad, what do you know? Is my daughter's recent behavior a joke in your eyes?"

"Why do you think so?" Lord Cheng'en felt a little sad when he heard the Crown Princess' words.

His most beloved daughter was the Crown Princess. Otherwise, why would he have rushed into the palace to bring the Crown Princess home?

The reason why he has been treating the Crown Princess coldly recently and is unwilling to let the Crown Princess and the Queen completely break up is because he noticed that the Emperor's attitude is somewhat wavering.

Duke Cheng'en knew very well what kind of temper the emperor had.

He was worried that the Emperor would dislike the Crown Princess because of her targeting of the Queen, which would prevent her from doing anything she wanted to do.

Everything he did was for the Crown Princess's sake, so why did the Crown Princess hurt him so much?

What the Queen did to her was indeed hateful, but revenge must be done in a proper way. How could one just rush in without any preparation?

Duke Cheng En thought for a moment and sighed, "Are you blaming me? Yes, I don't want you and the queen to be embarrassed, but I didn't stop you from dealing with the queen. I just hope..."

The Crown Princess interrupted Duke Cheng'en and said, "You hope that both the Queen and I can bring supreme glory to the family, but the Queen and I have had irreconcilable conflicts for a long time. It is impossible for the two of us to coexist peacefully."

The Crown Princess deliberately emphasized the last few words and stared at Lord Cheng'en with burning eyes, as if she wanted to get the message she wanted from his calm face.

Duke Cheng'en noticed the change in the Crown Princess's eyes and knew what she was thinking.

He had made his point clearly, so why was the Crown Princess making such a fuss?

He wanted to persuade the Crown Princess not to be so stubborn, lest she would be overwhelmed and lose miserably when facing the Queen.

"Dad, don't you love me and my sister anymore?" Yun Qiongying asked Cheng Engong with a puzzled look, as if she was going to cry if he didn't give her an answer.

Lord Cheng'en just felt a headache and his face looked ugly.

Wan Shufang observed the expressions on Lord Cheng'en's face and soon noticed that he was not in a good mood.

She quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Crown Princess, Miss Yun, what we need to do now is to find out how many people the Gu worm has controlled. As for the rest, I believe that the Cheng'en Guild will discuss it with His Majesty."

With the steps down, Duke Cheng En immediately responded: "I will investigate the matter of the Gu worm. It's not that Your Majesty has this intention, but Ye Xuan found that some officials acted a little radically, as if there were a flood and a beast chasing them from behind."

"Ye Xuan is your Majesty's confidant. He just came back from the Western Regions, so he naturally has your Majesty's trust. When he investigated this matter, although your Majesty didn't care much, he also gave him great support."

"So within two days, he checked all the Duke's Mansions and found that some servants in the Duke's Mansions were controlled by someone."

After saying this in one breath, Lord Cheng En looked at the Crown Princess with a stern face and said, "The reason why I suspect Hai Tang is because she went out without telling you before and had contact with an unidentified person."

Hearing this, the Crown Princess felt as if her heart was broken by a knife, and her expression was depressed: "It turns out that Haitang really betrayed me, but I didn't find anything wrong with her at all. No wonder the Queen was able to play me around."
