Prince Rong thought of the assassin who had come to the palace a few days ago, and rejected it with a bad look on his face: "If Chen Changli had the heart, he would have visited me a long time ago. Why would he wait until now?"

He Zhiming looked at Prince Rong with a smile on his face and advised: "Does Your Majesty want Chen Changli to come to you on his own initiative? But now is the time of national mourning, and Chen Changli is disliked by the emperor, so he must keep vigil and cannot make any mistakes."

"As for the disappearance of his wife, I guess he already knew about it. The reason he didn't make a scene in front of the emperor was because he didn't want the emperor to force him to abandon his wife."

"In other words, Chen Changli would be cautious and timid, and the prince is a sickly person in the eyes of everyone. How could Chen Changli dare to come to you on his own initiative?"

"If he really came to see you, I'm afraid the emperor's men would arrive right after he arrived."

"As far as I know, Chen Changli is a smart man. He won't do that. At most, he will do something small in private that cannot be shown on the stage."

Every word He Zhiming said was meant to belittle Chen Changli and praise Prince Rong, so after he finished his series of words, Prince Rong felt a little elated.

"The emperor is not easy to get along with. Chen Changli is a smart man. He naturally has to think of a foolproof plan under the emperor's nose before he is willing to take a risk for Wan Shufang. Alas, it's a pity that Wan Shufang has to suffer in the palace during this period of time."

Prince Rong knew about Chen Changli's feelings for Wan Shufang, but more than a dozen people in the general's mansion depended on Chen Changli for their lives.

No matter how crazy Chen Changli was about Wan Shufang, he could not ignore other people.

The same is probably true for Wan Shufang. Both she and her husband have weaknesses.

If Prince Rong can grasp this weakness, he can make the couple betray the emperor.

Unfortunately, the Queen died at this time. Her death could still be used to make some news, but Prince Rong was so busy with this that he really had no time to control Wan Shufang.

Now that he had noticed that there was a spy sent by someone else in the palace, Prince Rong didn't care what other people thought. He simply labeled the man as Chen Changli, and then took this opportunity to scare Wan Shufang.

As his mind changed, Prince Rong came up with an idea, and immediately ordered people to arrest Zhao Lianer in a high-profile manner.

He is the master of the Rong Palace. Once there is an action, the entire Rong Palace will be mobilized.

Zhao Lian'er had sharp ears and sharp eyes, and soon discovered the movement in the palace.

An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, and she felt an unprecedented pressure descending upon her.

She couldn't help but bite her lips tightly, but her eyes looked around, trying to find a place to hide herself and make plans later.

But after a while, Zhao Lianer found a place and ran over quickly.

She was lucky enough to find a dog hole in this deserted yard.

After she crawled through the dog hole, she found herself in a deserted and dilapidated courtyard with a dry well in it.

She did not hide in the dry well, but deliberately led the clues to the side of the dry well, and then quietly used the wall of the courtyard to hide in the mansion connected to Prince Rong's Mansion.

In order to build up his own image, Prince Rong even tried his best to fool his neighbors.

Zhao Lian'er was hiding in the mansion next door. Even if Prince Rong guessed this, he couldn't go to her house to check, because he didn't dare to expose his true situation to other people.

Although Zhao Lian'er was able to escape, Prince Rong would not let go of other spies who might have infiltrated, so within just one night, the entire Prince Rong's mansion became filled with panic and fear.

Wan Shufang had heard the noise outside while staying in the room, but she did not run out to inquire about the news because the noise was similar to that of the previous few days, but she felt that Chen Changli would not make such a noise again.

She suspected that something went wrong inside Prince Rong's Mansion, which caused such a big commotion.

Just as she was daydreaming, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of aggressive people rushed in and searched her room.

They found nothing, but they didn't leave. Instead, they kept her under guard.

Seeing this, Wan Shufang was busy with her own things and had no time to pay attention to them at all.

The two sides complemented each other for a while, but Wan Shufang knew very well that this was just an illusion.

These aggressive guards were here to monitor her, but she would not waste her time on them. She would just have a good sleep and deal with them the next day.

So Wan Shufang had a simple dinner and went to rest. Her carefree attitude soon reached Prince Rong.

Before Prince Rong could say anything, He Zhiming smiled and said, "This general's wife is indeed quite interesting. If she were not Chen Changli's wife, I would really like to keep her firmly under my control and let her serve the prince."

"Do you think highly of her?" Prince Rong knew very well what kind of temper He Zhiming had. He had never heard He Zhiming praise anyone.

Now that Wan Shufang has caught his eye, Prince Rong couldn't help but be surprised and developed a strong interest in Wan Shufang.

"It's not that I'm optimistic about her, it's because her medical skills are of great use to us. If she can't be used by us, our Phoenix Gu won't be so easy to succeed."

He Zhiming admired Wan Shufang only because she could help him refine the Phoenix Gu. As for the other things, he didn't care at all.

Prince Rong understood what he meant, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "If she has such ability, I will naturally spend time on her and make her work for us."

He Zhiming shook his head: "I have deliberately tested her. She is a person who will not be persuaded by soft or hard tactics, so Your Majesty does not need to spend time on her. You only need to take advantage of the conflict between her and Liu Yaoyao and let her refine the medicine we need."

"Does it have to be this way?" Prince Rong was quite surprised.

He Zhiming nodded: "It has to be this way, because Wan Shufang is not a person who will settle down. Even though she was trapped in the palace, she never took her situation seriously. On the contrary, she wanted to use this to gain people's sympathy and then win them over."

"Hearing you say that, I'm more interested in Wan Shufang." Prince Rong seemed to be thinking about something, and his expression was very strange. "It's just right, my people should contact Chen Changli and let him know what the prince might encounter in the Western Territory."

He Zhiming frowned slightly when he heard this. The prince was in the western border to suppress the rebels, and the rebels were aiming at the whole world. If Prince Rong could not control the people's hearts, he would most likely suffer a loss.

"Your Highness, why is Liu Yaoyao so concerned about the prince?" He Zhiming thought about it and decided to ask.

Prince Rong didn't care about the prince before, because the emperor's attitude towards him was clear. But in the past year, Prince Rong seemed to pay a lot of attention to the prince, and He Zhiming suspected that this had something to do with Liu Yaoyao.

Prince Rong's expression was full of excitement: "The Crown Prince has huge benefits. If I use him properly, I can take advantage of this benefit myself."

He Zhiming saw Prince Rong's excitement and couldn't help but be very curious: "What benefits does the prince have? Why is it worth the prince being so happy? Liu Yaoyao knows this clearly."
