When Chen Changli heard Wan Shufang's question, his first reaction was that he was too obvious, which is why Wan Shufang noticed it.

He subconsciously reached out and rubbed his face, trying to express his emotions better and not let Wan Shufang worry about him.

Wan Shufang noticed his actions and became more worried.

She had noticed that Chen Changli looked unhappy in the palace before, and it happened that the Crown Princess brought her the Emperor's plan.

She immediately guessed that Chen Changli was hit by the emperor, and wanted to ask him and comfort him, but there were too many people around.

In order not to attract attention or to avoid being overheard, Wan Shufang had to suppress all her worries.

Now that she was back home, Wan Shufang felt a lot more relaxed and wanted to know what the emperor and Chen Changli had said to each other, and why Chen Changli's face looked so ugly.

Of course, if Chen Changli felt that she shouldn't know about the matter, he would not plan to tell it. She would not be angry or sad, but would only feel more distressed for Chen Changli.

Because Wan Shufang already knew what kind of person the emperor was.

She could guess some of the emperor's behaviors and thoughts. She was worried that Chen Changli would blame the emperor for being a tyrant and that his behavior was becoming more and more foolish, and he really deserved to be deposed from the throne.

"Actually, I didn't say anything." Chen Changli had a lot of thoughts in his mind. All kinds of extremely complicated thoughts turned around in his mind and finally turned into a sigh.

He did not intend to hide his conversation with the emperor from Wan Shufang, simply because the emperor's attitude was too frank, and he obviously was not worried that others would know about his resentment and resentment after pursuing immortality.

In this case, Chen Changli would not hide the truth for him, nor would he want others to have any expectations of him.

"His Majesty has personally admitted in front of me his desire for immortality, so he doesn't want us to keep harping on the matter of Princess An Qing and the Queen."

Like a bolt from the blue, Wan Shufang felt as if she had been struck by lightning and her mind went blank.

"Did I hear it right?" After a while, Wan Shufang asked with a look of shock and anxiety.

Although she had long known that the emperor pursued immortality and did not take the lives of ordinary people seriously, when she heard that he admitted it so straightforwardly in front of outsiders and did not allow people to stop those who used the lives of ordinary people to refine the Phoenix Gu, Wan Shufang felt confused and could not tell whether it was true or false.

"You heard it right, this is true." Chen Changli knew what Wan Shufang was thinking and emphasized it again.

Wan Shufang gasped, then looked at Chen Changli nervously, and said anxiously: "Is he crazy? Or have we all become the drug inducer, and he doesn't care whether we know about it or not."

When Wan Shufang thought that the emperor was planning to use them as medicine, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

The fact that the Emperor was going to refine the Phoenix Gu was already terrifying. If he set his sights on Wan Shufang and the others, wouldn't that mean that Wan Shufang and the others would die soon?

"Perhaps they have such an idea." Chen Changli's eyes were full of coldness. "We learned about this from them, not because they trust us, but because they may use us."

"Especially you, Shufang. Your medical skills have been praised by everyone. His Majesty and the Queen have also personally tested your medical skills. They know clearly how good your medical skills are."

"When they refine the Phoenix Gu, they will definitely think of you, and then try to take advantage of you. But because you are the general's wife, they will not blatantly ask you to refine the Phoenix Gu. They will only try their best to make you take the initiative."

When Chen Changli said this, his face was filled with bitterness and anger.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang herself had long guessed that Wan Shufang would be targeted by the Queen and had made some preparations to deal with it, but the change in the Emperor's attitude made Chen Changli feel uneasy.

After he went to the side hall, he had always suspected that the Emperor wanted Wan Shufang to help the Queen refine the Phoenix Gu, so she openly expressed her hope for immortality in front of him.

And what the emperor had mentioned before about the duties and loyalty of his subjects was probably also a test and a reminder to him.

When Chen Changli's mind turned to this, he became more worried about Wan Shufang.

He reached out and held Wan Shufang's hand, looking at her with burning eyes. Deep in his eyes was an undisguised worry, but his tone was as gentle and calm as possible: "Shufang, the Queen knows your Majesty, and Princess An Qing wants to deal with the Queen, so your Majesty is likely to use the Queen to contain Princess An Qing."

"In other words, everything Princess An Qing is doing now has long been in His Majesty's calculations. He hopes even more than the Queen that those prestigious doctors will obey Princess An Qing and start refining Phoenix Gu for him."

"Your medical skills are superb. Although you revealed the Queen's thoughts last time and forced His Majesty to speak up to stop the Queen, he must have remembered this incident and started thinking about what to do to get you to help the Queen."

"What Princess An Qing did might be an opportunity. He needs to seize this opportunity. Therefore, our actions were naturally seen as a provocation by him. He doesn't want us to delve further into the matter."

Chen Changli sighed slightly, a layer of worry creeping up between his brows: "Because the more we dig deeper, the more likely we are to detect his thoughts and ideas. He wants to maintain his good reputation, so he needs us to pretend that we know nothing."

Listening to what Chen Changli said, Wan Shufang became increasingly angry and her face turned dark and ugly.

She said sarcastically, "What good reputation does the emperor have when he decides to do this?"

Chen Changli agreed: "It is true, but he is unwilling to admit it, so others will cooperate with him."

Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang's pupils shrank and her expression became cold.

As long as the emperor sits on the throne, there will be many people flattering him.

Even though these people knew that the emperor was completely heartless and cruel to the people, they would still try to please him with their eyes closed. This was because the more foolish the emperor was, the more they could take advantage of the situation and plan for many rights for themselves or even other members of their family.

After thinking for a long time, Wan Shufang unconsciously thought of what happened in the previous dynasty, and then she felt that the blood in her body almost froze.

Unable to control her emotions, she said to Chen Changli worriedly, "I'm afraid we have to take the initiative."

Chen Changli's heart moved slightly, and then he looked at Wan Shufang with burning eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "We are really in tune with each other."

He also wanted to take the initiative, but he had no idea how to do it.

"We are husband and wife, so we will naturally understand each other." After hearing this, Wan Shufang's worries and irritability in her heart seemed to be brushed away by gentle spring water and quickly disappeared.

She looked at Chen Changli with great joy, and felt that she could never see him enough. She couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, smiling brightly and saying, "We can definitely achieve great things if we work together as husband and wife."
