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

Chen Changli would naturally not ignore what Chen Xiyun could think of. He had already made arrangements and was just waiting for Chen Xiyun and the others to leave.

"I will have someone disguise themselves as you and go to the palace to deal with the others, so you don't have to worry about this going wrong."

As soon as Chen Changli's gentle tone fell, Chen Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Chen Changli with a smile in her eyes and said calmly: "Since Dad has made the arrangements, then my daughter and my sisters-in-law will definitely cooperate with Dad and will not hold him back."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changli asked Chen Xiyun to rest well at home and then find time to tell Wu Qiaoyue and the others about the matter.

Once they were all ready, he would arrange for everyone to leave.

Chen Xiyun had something to do and stopped thinking about random things. She immediately took Wang Xiaohui and others to get busy.

Chen Changli rested at home for one night and went to the casket as usual the next day. He thought today would be as peaceful as usual, but he did not expect Su Dequan to come to him on the emperor's orders.

"General Chen, His Majesty invites you."

Su Dequan hadn't seen Chen Changli for a few days, and he always felt that Chen Changli's temperament had changed in a different way, as if he was colder than before.

Looking at Chen Changli's calm face, Su Dequan suppressed his thoughts and respectfully invited Chen Changli to see the emperor.

His respectful attitude showed that the emperor's attitude at the moment was very normal. Chen Changli felt that a storm was coming and was extremely depressed, but his face did not show any emotion. He immediately got up and went to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor.

"Xu Qinglu is dead. After all, you are her nephew. I will leave her funeral affairs to you."

When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the emperor directly threw a thunderbolt to Chen Changli, and didn't care about Xu Qinglu's cold treatment and calculations towards Chen Changli at all.

"She...when did she die?" Chen Changli had long known that Xu Qinglu had killed the queen with the determination to die, but when he learned of her death, he couldn't help feeling melancholy.

Xu Qinglu is the leader of the White Lotus Sect after all. Although she is not as capable as the deputy leader, she also has ambition and desire for power.

During the years when she was fighting for power with the deputy leader, she also cultivated many confidants.

Chen Changli thought that if Xu Qinglu was spotted by the emperor, she would rely on her confidants to negotiate with the emperor and thus live longer.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qinglu died in less than ten days. The emperor even came to him personally to talk about this. Chen Changli immediately suspected that the emperor was testing him.

He wanted to avoid this test, but when he thought of Xu Qinglu's identity, he felt that there was no need to avoid this test, otherwise he would be regarded as a cold-hearted person in the emperor's mind.

Although the emperor had a bad impression of him due to his own little thoughts, before the emperor broke off relations with him, Chen Changli felt that he still had to figure out some things and then respond accordingly.

Otherwise, given the emperor's temper, his life in Luoyang City would become even more difficult.

After a lot of thoughts, Chen Changli adjusted his mood and deliberately asked when Xu Qinglu died.

Sure enough, after he asked this question, the emperor's inherent coldness was greatly reduced.

"Xu Qinglu died three days ago. Before she died, she was still thinking about you."

Three days ago? Chen Changli's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The person had been dead for three days, and he only came to him today to talk about handling the funeral. The emperor was probably testing him and also wanted to use Xu Qinglu's death to make some arrangements.

Nothing happened in the palace during these three days, and it was also very quiet outside the palace. The whole city of Luoyang was in grief because of the queen's death. If the emperor really made some arrangements, it should be conspicuous and he should have noticed it.

Although he had been busy these days dealing with the departure of the Lin and Ye families, he had not neglected matters inside and outside the palace.

He didn't receive any information about what the emperor had arranged. It was obvious that the emperor had made arrangements in secret and concealed it from everyone.

"I have never really gotten along with her, but I didn't expect that she would miss me. Maybe this is due to blood ties."

Suppressing the uneasiness and doubts in his heart, Chen Changli only focused on Xu Qinglu's affairs.

The emperor showed a melancholy look on his face: "Xu Qinglu is a daughter of the Xu family after all. Even if she was deceived and did something evil, her heart is with Dajing."

"It's a pity that someone took advantage of her and was unwilling to give her a good result, which led her to take an extreme approach."

"Chen Changli, Xu Qinglu is your aunt. She has lived a miserable life these years. As her nephew, you must take good care of her funeral and don't let her be ashamed to face her ancestors in the afterlife."

The emperor's light words seemed to be for Xu Qinglu's sake, but in fact he was warning Chen Changli.

Realizing the emperor's intention, Chen Changli's heart skipped a beat, and he responded calmly, "I obey your order."

When the emperor saw Chen Changli's humble and submissive look, and thought of the arrogant Princess An Qing, his mood suddenly improved after a while of fluctuations.

He smiled and said, "Old Prince Rong was once taught by Grand Tutor Xu. If Grand Tutor Xu had not gone astray, Xu Qinglu, as Grand Tutor Xu's favorite youngest daughter, would have had a chance to become the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Rong's mansion."

"Unfortunately, fate played a trick on him. Xu Qinglu ended up living among the common people and suffered a lot. The old Prince Rong was suspected and feared by the late emperor because of the death of Grand Tutor Xu, so he lived in fear for the rest of his life. Now his only child was adopted from his brother."

"It's a pity that the child has suffered since childhood in the mother's womb. He was born a sickly child, which made old Prince Rong very distressed."

"Fortunately, the Rong Palace was wealthy, and the old Rong Prince truly loved the child, so he raised him. After the old Rong Prince passed away, the child became the Rong Prince."

"But he has been taking medicine for decades, and he has become a sickly person in the eyes of everyone. It's really pitiful."

He kept saying that Prince Rong was pitiful, but the emperor's eyes were extremely cold, as cold as an ice cave that had been opened, emitting cold air continuously.

Chen Changli seemed to sense something and immediately felt that the emperor's words about Prince Rong clearly had bad intentions.

He had some doubts whether the emperor knew that Prince Rong had selfish motives and had done some treasonous things behind his back, so he used the dead Xu Qinglu to humiliate him.

"Xu Qinglu had some fate with him after all. Now that Xu Qinglu is dead, you should ask Prince Rong to send her off."

Just when Chen Changli was in doubt, the emperor's sudden words instantly confirmed Chen Changli's guess.

His heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest, because the Emperor was on guard against even Prince Rong, a well-known sickly man. How could he not know what the Crown Princess and Wan Shufang were thinking?

Perhaps the emperor had already known that Wan Shufang was in Prince Rong's Mansion, and that was why he believed Wan Shufang's excuse that she was seriously ill and unable to keep vigil for the queen.

When Chen Changli thought that the emperor had known everything for a long time but did not reveal it as he wished, he suddenly felt that the emperor's mind was as deep as the sea.

If he had not been fully prepared and were to confront the emperor, he would definitely end up with his head and body separated.

"Your Majesty... obeys your command." Chen Changli tried hard to suppress his fear and answered respectfully.

The emperor smiled and said, "Prince Rong is weak. You can ask your wife to take care of him. Perhaps with your wife around, Prince Rong will get better and no longer be the sickly person that everyone pities."
