The ministers were shocked and terrified, and rushed to the Taiji Hall to discuss matters with the emperor.

Chen Changli took this opportunity to look up at the emperor and found that he was not in a hurry at all, as if he had expected this.

After all, the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince were the emperor's sons. They conquered cities and grew in strength, and finally took the entire Dajing into their possession. Then the world was still the world of their royal family and never fell into the hands of outsiders.

The emperor might have thought of this, and that's why he allowed the two princes to recruit soldiers outside.

What about the crown prince? Did the emperor send the crown prince to the western border in order to use him to suppress Tu Yuanzhou?

Chen Changli noticed the emperor's calm expression, and as this thought crossed his mind, his thoughts began to drift unconsciously.

Why would the woman who looked like the prince have such strong malice towards Tai Chi?

If she really had been staying in the capital and keeping an eye on the prince, she should have known the prince's situation.

Unless this woman was telling lies, she would not hesitate to reveal her ill will towards the prince in front of Wan Shufang.

But the fact that she looks very much like the prince is obvious. If she wants to take action against the prince, what is her purpose?

Chen Changli's thoughts turned to this and he had to cheer up.

Because the emperor's attitude was so calm, some civil and military officials also realized that something was wrong. They began to ask the emperor how he could stop the two princes.

The emperor said without any hesitation: "The Sixth and Ninth are both my sons. If they are really lucky, I don't mind fulfilling their wish."

When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials, who were originally a little panicked, were stunned. They looked at the emperor for a long time before accepting what he said.

After all, the emperor had made his statement, and there was nothing they could do if they didn't accept it. They could only shout "Long live the emperor" and then go home to find a way to contact the sixth or ninth prince.

The next emperor will definitely be born from these two people. The emperor is unwilling to bow to these two princes and let them do whatever they want. The ministers who have many elderly and children to support naturally have to find a way to leave a way out for themselves.

Although they care about who will be the winner, the Sixth Prince or the Ninth Prince, they have no way of judging the future and can only arrange people around both of them.

As a result, the atmosphere in Luoyang City changed from dignified and solemn to panic-stricken. Originally, there were still some people walking on the streets to make a living, but now there is no one on the streets.

Chen Changli looked at the deserted streets and felt a little heavy-hearted.

"The Queen's funeral is not over yet. After the incident with the two princes, Luoyang City seems to have become an empty city. It's a bit depressing."

After saying this softly, Chen Changli slowly exhaled and then headed towards the Lin Mansion.

Before he arrived, he heard Ye Xuan and Lin Jing discussing the two princes. He immediately walked in and said, "These two princes are very smart, otherwise they would not have made the decision to leave Luoyang City."

"The Tenth Prince and the Eighth Prince are indeed inferior to the two of them. Your Majesty may have known this a long time ago, which is why he has high hopes for them."

"Do you really think so in your heart?" When Lin Jing heard the words "high hopes", he almost thought that Chen Changlin was being sarcastic, but when he looked up at him, he found that he seemed to really think so. Not only was the expression on his face very calm, but it also made people agree with his words unconsciously.

Lin Jing looked at Chen Changli for a long time before he frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "If those two princes were really good, Prince Duan and the Fourth Prince wouldn't have made such a fuss. After all, they are just the tallest among the short ones. How can they compare to the Crown Prince?"

"It's a pity that the Crown Prince is in the Western Territory. Tu Yuanzhou, the rebel, is quite capable and has managed to hold off the Crown Prince. But the Crown Prince is no pushover. No matter how capable Tu Yuanzhou is, he is only relying on He He's bravery and good fighting skills. Once the Crown Prince finds a way out, He He may abandon him. How can he be a match for the Crown Prince?"

After Lin Jing arrived in Luoyang City and truly felt the changes in the emperor, he felt more and more that the prince was a wise ruler.

His heart unconsciously leaned towards the crown prince, and when he realized that the emperor had other ideas and arrangements for the sixth and ninth princes, he felt unfair for the crown prince.

Chen Changli is the prince's friend. He should have stood on the prince's side and considered the prince's interests. But now he speaks for the two princes. Lin Jing feels uncomfortable.

He was unwilling to hide himself in front of Chen Changli, so he immediately expressed his thoughts and showed some dissatisfaction with Chen Changli.

Seeing his true feelings, Chen Changli immediately smiled at him and said, "Your Majesty is obviously going to indulge those two princes. If I don't speak up for them, wouldn't it seem like I have the intention of treason?"

"This is my home. I had already sent away all the irrelevant people before you came, so there's no need for you to be so vigilant." Lin Jing glared at Chen Changli unhappily when he heard it.

After taking a sip of tea, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "He is also worried that there are ears on the other side of the wall. As an elder, you should indulge him a little more."

"I don't have such a smart junior." Lin Jing snorted twice, and said with a rather regretful expression, "If I had such a smart junior, there would be no need for me to return to Dajing at such an old age to serve His Majesty with all my heart and soul until my death."

Ye Xuan knew what was bothering him, but he didn’t try to persuade him, because Lin Jing actually knew what his problem was, but he just couldn’t get over it for a long time.

If he had given some advice, Lin Jing might not be able to bear the blow from the emperor's coldness and ruthlessness.

He immediately changed the subject: "Chen Changli, after the incident with the two princes, all the civil and military officials have other thoughts. I think Luoyang City will be lively from tomorrow."

"During this time, I want to ask you for a favor. I hope you can help me arrange it."

Chen Changli understood immediately and said, "I have the same idea as you, but my wife rejected me, so I plan to arrange for my children to leave Luoyang City first."

"What has your wife been doing these days? Why didn't she even keep vigil for the Queen?" Ye Xuan asked Chen Changli in confusion, thinking that he hadn't seen Wan Shufang in the palace for the past two days.

"Lord Ye, have you found any important clues in your investigation of the poisonous insect?" Chen Changli did not answer him, but asked back.

When Ye Xuan heard him ask this, his mind raced and he instantly understood where Wan Shufang was.

He couldn't help but frown, and said with worry: "I only tracked down Liu Yaoyao, and didn't find out anything else. But Liu Yaoyao has been quiet recently, and it's obvious that she intends to hide herself deeper."

"Although your wife knows medical skills and is worthy of Liu Yaoyao's approval, she does not know witchcraft. If she falls into Liu Yaoyao's hands, she will probably suffer a lot."

Chen Changli looked bitter when he heard this: "My wife is determined to help the Crown Princess and me, so no matter how dangerous Liu Yaoyao is, she has to contact her. I wanted to persuade her, but she has made up her mind. I can only cooperate with her to make her succeed."

Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he said in shock: "Liu Yaoyao's identity is unknown, and her purpose is unknown, how dare Wan Shufang approach her so boldly?"
