Wan Shufang was aware of the Crown Princess's little thoughts, but she didn't care because the Crown Princess was now one with her, and helping her was like helping herself.

Wan Shufang actually hopes that everything goes smoothly for the Crown Princess, but there are too many people lurking in Luoyang City, and no matter how capable the Crown Princess is, she will be exploited and plotted against.

Perhaps the Crown Princess clearly realized this and wanted to borrow Chen Changli's people.

However, the Crown Princess’ thoughts were difficult to fathom. Wan Shufang’s expression was a little complicated, but it returned to normal in an instant.

She smiled at Chen Changli and said, "Anyway, the Crown Princess and I get along pretty well. I try my best to help the Crown Princess with anything. She understands my intentions and won't put me in danger."

When Chen Changli heard this, he knew that Wan Shufang was trying to comfort him.

He was moved and immediately sorted out his people, picked out those with good abilities, and discussed with Wan Shufang for half a day before he selected the people the Crown Princess needed. After that, Wan Shufang sent the list to the Crown Princess.

In the evening, Wan Shufang came back from Duke Cheng'en's mansion. Chen Changli saw that Wan Shufang looked in good spirits. It was obvious that the Crown Princess had gotten those people to talk to her heart-to-heart.

Chen Changli breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, but he didn't show it on his face. He only said to Wan Shufang: "Are you and the Crown Princess still planning to meet the Eighth Prince?"

"Of course." Wan Shufang never let go of her suspicion of the Eighth Prince. She always wanted to find an opportunity to meet with the Eighth Prince to test how much he knew.

However, Liu Yaoyao was eyeing them covetously from outside, and Princess An Qing had some plans for the Eighth Prince. She and the Crown Princess could not think of any solution in a short period of time, so they could only give up the idea of ​​meeting the Eighth Prince for the time being.

"I'll take you to see the Eighth Prince." Chen Changli originally wanted to see Xu Qinglu, but Wan Shufang's concerns made sense, so he decided to go see the Eighth Prince first.

Wan Shufang was surprised: "Have you made arrangements?"

She and the Crown Princess were not allowed to meet the Eighth Prince. If Chen Changli arranged everything, not only would they be able to meet the Eighth Prince, but they would also not attract attention.

Chen Changli held Wang Shufang's hand and said gently, "After you went to see the Crown Princess, I specifically inquired about the Eighth Prince and felt that now is the best time to meet him."

"After all, Haitang just died. Liu Yaoyao must have received the news. She will think that the Crown Princess has been frightened and will not continue to act."

After hearing what he said, Wan Shufang thought for a while and said, "What you said does make sense, but I just came back from Duke Cheng'en's mansion. If I go there again, won't it arouse suspicion?"

She was worried that someone would be keeping an eye on the Cheng'en Mansion and discover her whereabouts, and that their plan to meet the Eighth Prince would be discovered.

"I will send someone to find the Crown Princess. If she agrees, I will disguise myself and go to Duke Cheng'en's mansion. After that, we will go to see the Eighth Prince."

Chen Changli looked at the sky and found that it was already three quarters past the hour of You.

He immediately thought that this was a good time, and after discussing with Wan Shufang, he went to find the Crown Princess. After confirming that she would go with him, he quietly took her away from Duke Cheng'en's Mansion and then met up with Wan Shufang, who was disguised as an ordinary woman.

When the three of them met, they said nothing and quickly rushed to the Eighth Prince's mansion. However, they didn't expect that when Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, two women who didn't know martial arts, entered the Eighth Prince's mansion, they happened to see someone poisoning the Eighth Prince.

"What are you doing?" Wan Shufang saw the Eighth Prince spit out a mouthful of black blood, and the figure of the cloaked man standing in front of the Eighth Prince looked somewhat familiar, so she subconsciously blurted out a question.

Chen Changli quickly stepped forward and grabbed the cloaked man, but he never expected that the person under the cloak was Princess An Qing who was supposed to be trapped in the Dali Temple.

"Wan Shufang, save me quickly!" Wan Shufang appeared as soon as the Eighth Prince drank the poisoned wine. He knew how good Wan Shufang's medical skills were and could not help but ask her for help.

"Don't move." Wan Shufang saw that he was barely breathing, as if he would die in the next moment. She did not care why Princess An Qing was here, or how the Eighth Prince was poisoned by her. She immediately rushed forward and used a silver needle to stop the spread of the poison for the Eighth Prince.

When Princess An Qing saw Wan Shufang wanted to save the Eighth Prince, her face changed.

She wanted to stop him, but Chen Changli stopped her directly. After all, the timing of their arrival was too unfortunate. If she had known earlier that Princess An Qing had sneaked out and was about to attack the Eighth Prince.

No matter how interested they were in the secrets of the Eighth Prince, it was impossible for them to come here, because even if the Eighth Prince was disliked by the Emperor and imprisoned in his own palace, he was still a prince.

If something went wrong, these three people who suddenly appeared in the Eighth Prince's Mansion would be the best scapegoats.

Chen Changli felt no regrets just thinking about this. After all, after listening to what Wan Shufang said, he was indeed very interested in the secret of the Eighth Prince.

He suspected that the reason why the Eighth Prince had angered the Emperor and was then imprisoned in his own house was most likely because the Eighth Prince had other purposes and deliberately angered the Emperor.

Besides, Ye Xuan was also investigating the matter of the poisonous insect. If the Eighth Prince was related to the real culprit behind the poisonous insect, he might be able to get some clues by testing the Eighth Prince. He never expected that Princess An Qing would poison the Eighth Prince at this time.

Is she trying to deal with the Queen? Why does she have time to look for the Eighth Prince? Could it be that Ye Xuan and the others' speculation is true?

Chen Changli thought of this and looked at Princess An Qing with an extremely unpleasant expression. He asked sternly, "Why did you come here to poison the Eighth Prince? If anything happens to the Eighth Prince, you, the Princess, will not be able to escape..."

Princess An Qing stopped struggling and looked at Chen Changli coldly. She interrupted him loudly and sarcastically, "I am His Majesty's biological sister. The Eighth Prince is dead. Even if he has doubts, he won't blame me. After all, you three dressed like this and sneaked here. You are the most suspicious."

Having said this, Princess An Qing took a special look at Chen Changli and the other two, and found that they disguised themselves as ordinary people, and she sneered.

"The general and his wife, as well as the Crown Princess, did not sleep in the middle of the night and came to the Eighth Prince's residence. The Eighth Prince happened to die at this time. No matter who knows about this, they will suspect that you three have teamed up to kill the Eighth Prince."

Princess An Qing said this with a rather smug look on her face, as if she was certain that the Eighth Prince was dead and that Chen Changli and the other two would become her scapegoats.

The Crown Princess couldn't stand her behavior, and Princess An Qing had pretended to deceive her before, which made her feel depressed.

So she stepped forward and slapped Princess An Qing in the face, and said in a very cold voice: "Wan Shufang is treating the Eighth Prince. I believe the Eighth Prince will be fine. Don't curse him here."
