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

The emperor's question became more and more ironic after he expressed his desire for immortality. Chen Changli sneered in his heart, but said calmly: "Besides that, we also suspect that the Eighth Prince and Princess An Qing are plotting to control Luoyang City, so we want to test him."

"How could this happen?" The emperor showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Chen Changli just lowered his head and did not look at the emperor.

He naturally didn't know that there was surprise on the emperor's face, but from the emperor's tone, he guessed the emperor's mood.

He did not think that the emperor knew nothing, he just thought that the emperor had some guesses about things but did not have a deep understanding of them.

It was because the emperor had already focused most of his attention on Phoenix Gu, so he didn't care that much about what the Eighth Prince and Princess An Qing were planning.

If Princess An Qing had not poisoned the Eighth Prince, and if they had not suddenly run into each other and tried to make a big deal out of the matter, the Emperor might have continued to treat Princess An Qing as a chess piece that he could control.

Now Princess An Qing is clearly out of his control. If he wants to continue his plan, he will have to find another way. He just doesn't know whether Princess An Qing is willing to cooperate with him.

Chen Changli thought of the ferocity with which Princess An Qing stabbed the Queen, and couldn't help but feel that Princess An Qing would never cooperate with the Emperor again.

She just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bring down the queen. If the emperor still wanted to use her, she might use the emperor to achieve her own goals.

Unfortunately, what the emperor values ​​most is his own life, and Princess An Qing stepped on the emperor's bottom line.

No matter how much the two siblings argue, they have to take some time to sort out what happened today. If they continue to blame and curse each other, wishing to kill each other, I'm afraid only both sides can face the mess.

"This is just our suspicion. We have no evidence. If Your Majesty wants to know everything, you can send someone to investigate."

Chen Changli did not continue what the emperor said, but simply shifted the responsibility to them in a light-hearted manner.

"If you feel that the time is short and you can't find out clearly, wait until the Eighth Prince wakes up, and then Your Majesty can ask the Eighth Prince."

The emperor noticed Chen Changli's thoughts and looked at him thoughtfully, but after a while he smiled and said, "You are smarter than I thought. No wonder Prince Duan wanted to win you over before. It's a pity that he didn't find the right way, otherwise your relationship with him wouldn't have become so strained."

The emperor's words were quite meaningful. Chen Changli thought for a long time before bowing to the emperor and saying, "The dispute between me and Prince Duan is not only that Prince Duan cannot win me over, but also that I accidentally discovered that he was selling military rations privately."

Why was he assassinated on his way back to Beijing? Wasn't it because Prince Duan was worried that his secret would be revealed to the emperor?

He told the prince about the matter and returned to his hometown, thus avoiding a storm, but he and Prince Duan had a feud from then on.

Prince Duan targeted him repeatedly afterwards, and he also wanted to get back at him.

Chen Changli ignored him and helped the prince in every way. He realized that Chen Changli was impossible to win over, so he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, the Liu family incident suddenly broke out. The remnants of the previous dynasty rebelled in Ping'an Prefecture under the banner of the Liu family. The Fourth Prince was eager for quick success and put himself in danger.

The emperor was wary of Chen Changli and the prince, so he took advantage of this incident to separate them.

It would have been fine for them to separate at this point, but they did not expect the situation in the capital to take a sharp turn for the worse. The emperor abdicated in favor of the fourth prince, and then moved the capital to Luoyang City.

Prince Duan was jealous and unwilling to accept his fate. He battled wits and courage with the Fourth Prince, and ended up with both sides suffering losses. This was all because of the emperor's instigation.

Chen Changli had never thought about this matter carefully before. Now, through the emperor's inexplicable attitude and thinking about what happened before, he suddenly realized that the emperor was the culprit of all disputes.

If the emperor really became a retired emperor who enjoyed his old age, the current situation in Dajing would not be so precarious, and the civil and military officials in the court would not have any other thoughts about the emperor because of a Phoenix Gu.

However, there are no ifs and no regret medicine in this world. The emperor once again became a powerful emperor, and his desire for immortality was in full swing, so much so that the queen noticed his thoughts and was willing to fall into Princess An Qing's trap.

The emperor is the culprit of all disputes! Chen Changli somewhat understood Ye Xuan's approach.

He was clearly aware of the disasters brought by the emperor and was unwilling to be loyal to such an emperor, so he tried his best to leave a way out for himself and his family.

There must be quite a few people like him among the civil and military officials, but they are very stable and good at acting in front of the emperor, which is why they can do some small tricks under the emperor's nose.

Chen Changli felt that if he and Ye Xuan wanted to turn the tide, they would have to find a way to deal with these civil and military officials.

However, Liu Yaoyao used poisonous insects to control quite a few people, and many of these treacherous officials were probably obedient to Liu Yaoyao.

If he wants to find like-minded people among these people, he probably has to find out who was poisoned first.

Chen Changli's mind raced like lightning, and he thought of many things at once. He pursed his lips tightly into a harsh line and said nothing.

But the emperor did not speak, and the already quiet main hall fell into an unspeakable silence, as if the cold air had condensed into ice in the main hall.

Chen Changli felt a chill creeping all over his body, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

His thoughts turned and he suddenly understood why the emperor remained silent. It was because the crown prince had handled the matter before, but the emperor favored Prince Duan and directly made him a prince from a bald prince, which made him even more arrogant.

Chen Changli, as the person targeted by Prince Duan, was obviously a victim, but he had to endure the murderer's harassment and ridicule every time he went to court. As a result, other princes did not think that General Chen Changli was worth winning over, and they gave up on him one after another.

"Your Majesty, Prince Duan is very favored by you, so after the case of selling military rations was over, he also set his sights on the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince went to Southern Xinjiang, she might have thought that she would replace the Crown Prince and become the next emperor."

"But after the Fourth Prince returned to the capital from Ping'an Prefecture, he caught your eye and was chosen by you to be the new emperor."

"Prince Duan is such a proud man, how could he possibly accept such a thing? So after arriving in Luoyang City, he was always preparing to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel."

"As a friend of Concubine De, Princess An Qing was able to receive some information from Concubine De, and thus found a way to help the Fourth Prince set a trap to lure the enemy into a trap."

"However, Princess Anqing and Concubine De have their own plans. Prince Duan, the Fourth Prince, and even the other princes have become pawns in their plans."

"But they didn't expect the bloodiness of the princes, which is why the queen killed Concubine De, and Princess An Qing fled with the eighth prince but had to face reality and return to Luoyang City."

"But even so, I guess Princess An Qing and the Eighth Prince never gave up the idea of ​​surrendering to the enemy, which is why the Eighth Prince was poisoned and we made a big fuss."

When Chen Changli said this, his tone sounded depressed, as if he was reflecting on whether his behavior had caused trouble for the emperor.

"And I really only want to test the Eighth Prince, and I have no other purpose. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
