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

When Lord Cheng'en heard Wan Shufang's words, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

Wan Shufang glanced at him and continued, "Just because Haitang was able to take advantage of a loophole doesn't necessarily mean that the Crown Princess is surrounded by sieves. You should know that most of the people around the Crown Princess are arranged by Cheng'en Mansion and the Queen."

"Ever since the Queen's deeds were exposed, the Crown Princess has sent all of the Queen's people away, so the people around her are all servants of the Cheng'en Mansion."

"As far as I know, a servant of a noble family would not betray his master easily. What Haitang said before she died was also very strange. I suspect that even if the poisonous insect controlled Haitang, she would not really betray the Crown Princess."

"I think there is another reason why he is exposed now and is seeking death. If we can find out this, we may be able to follow the clues and find the person behind Haitang."

When Wan Shufang said this, she thought of Haitang's family and hurriedly asked Cheng Engong.

"My Lord, when you locked Haitang up, did you send anyone to look for her family?"

Before Lord Cheng'en could answer, the Crown Princess spoke up: "Haitang's parents died early, and she doesn't have any brothers or sisters, so she is an orphan."

Speaking of the word "orphan", the Crown Princess's face looked unhappy, because Haitang had always been lonely and lovable, and she valued this point, so she cultivated Haitang as her confidant.

Haitang has been by her side for more than ten years and has behaved very appropriately. The Crown Princess likes her very much and is willing to ask her to do anything.

Even though the Queen's affair was exposed and the Crown Princess cleaned out the spies around her, she never doubted Haitang. This was all because Haitang had been loyal to her over the past decade and always considered her best.

Now that she knows Haitang has betrayed her long ago, the Crown Princess can't help but doubt her own way of controlling people.

"Even if someone wants to threaten Haitang, they can't find Haitang's family. Haitang betrayed me, it should be that the poisonous insect has a greater effect."

"Wan Shufang, Yanran can control insects, she might be the one who can control the Gu worms. The Gu worms I planted before might have been planted by her."

When the Crown Princess said this, her brows unconsciously knitted into a knot.

Yanran looked only in her teens. Even if she came to the capital when she was very young, she would not have been able to control so many civil and military officials! Could it be that before Yanran, there was someone who could control poisonous insects?

Thinking of this possibility, the Crown Princess' heart sank.

She looked at Wan Shufang steadily, and said with great certainty: "There must be many people like Yanran. Liu Yaoyao deliberately stopped me from meeting the Eighth Prince, maybe because she didn't want me to find out about this."

"Your guess makes sense, but we are now hindered by Haitang's matter, and I am afraid we cannot go to see the Eighth Prince." When Wan Shufang heard the Crown Princess' words, she suddenly felt that things had come full circle.

The Eighth Prince must be a key figure and knows a lot of things. Whether it is Princess An Qing or Liu Yaoyao, they all want to use the Eighth Prince to achieve their own goals.

If the Eighth Prince himself is smart, he will definitely hold his own value very high.

If Liu Yaoyao used poisonous insects to control people and the Eighth Prince was not on guard, he might be used by Liu Yaoyao.

Princess An Qing intervened, perhaps because she had noticed what Liu Yaoyao was going to do.

Wan Shufang's mind raced like lightning, with countless thoughts quickly flashing through her mind, but no matter which thought it was, she felt that it was not applicable at the moment and not worth thinking about in depth.

It’s because Princess An Qing is a cunning old fox. If she can’t offer the right price, Princess An Qing won’t reveal any information at all.

The Crown Princess had previously tried to take advantage of Princess An Qing, but I'm afraid she had outwitted her.

The Crown Princess was an intelligent person, she should have thought of this, that's why she was unwilling to go to Princess An Qing to continue their deal, but instead prepared to find another way and try to find a breakthrough from the Eighth Prince.

"Crown Princess, it seems that we have to meet the Eighth Prince no matter what, otherwise we will be kept in the dark about some things."

As soon as Wan Shufang finished speaking, the Crown Princess quickly looked at Duke Cheng'en.

She asked quickly, "Dad, Haitang went out today to take care of everything for me. But Haitang didn't do what I asked, but ran to the kitchen to poison."

"Now that she's dead, it's all over, but what should I do about my problem? I went out today and didn't do anything but was threatened by someone. That person is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty. I feel uneasy when I think about this."

After thinking about it, the Crown Princess told Duke Cheng'en about Liu Yaoyao. She believed that since Duke Cheng'en knew about this, he would definitely use his connections to investigate Liu Yaoyao.

After all, Ye Xuan had discovered the matter of the poisonous insect and was preparing to investigate. Duke Cheng En cooperated with Ye Xuan in order to test the emperor's bottom line and to please the emperor, and then he discovered that there was something wrong with the people in his own mansion.

"Liu Yaoyao? A woman with the surname Liu. It seems that Liu Feng deliberately left a lot of tricks behind when he launched a counterattack. Even though the Crown Prince and Chen Changli tracked down many remnants of the previous dynasty, some of them slipped through the net and escaped."

When Duke Cheng'en heard what the Crown Princess said, his first thought was that Liu Feng was really smart, as he was able to arrange for the fish that had escaped the net right under the Emperor's nose.

He suddenly understood why Concubine De and the Eighth Prince were so fearless. It was obvious that some of the emperor's actions and thoughts gave them unlimited confidence.

He immediately said: "This matter is extremely serious. I must find out the truth as soon as possible."

"How do you plan to investigate? Are you going to follow Haitang's clues directly? But Haitang is already dead, and she has no relatives. The clues end with her." When the Crown Princess heard what Lord Cheng'en said, she couldn't help but glance at Haitang's body, and then quickly looked away.

Haitang is dead. Even if they guess who bribed her, they have no evidence or clues, so how can they continue the investigation?

"Who said there are no clues?" Lord Cheng En immediately smiled at Wan Shufang, his voice extremely gentle, "Madam General, if I give you some time, can you figure out a way to solve the poisonous insect problem?"

Wan Shufang thought for a while and nodded: "I can figure out a way."

Although poisonous insects sound very magical, these so-called poisonous insects are poisonous insects. There must be a reason why they stay dormant in the human body.

She has the hospital space, and as long as she puts in some extra effort, she will be able to find the root cause soon.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Lord Cheng En spoke quickly, "As for tracking down the person behind Haitang, you don't have to bother with it. Just leave it to Ye Xuan and me."

"Dad, what do you mean?" When the Crown Princess heard what Lord Cheng'en said, she felt unhappy when she thought that Ye Xuan was the Emperor's confidant.
