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

The emperor's words were quite meaningful, and Chen Changli couldn't help but think more about it. In the end, he felt more and more that the emperor had already set his sights on Prince Rong's Mansion.

Although Wan Shufang entered Prince Rong's Mansion by accident, she won the emperor's heart.

The emperor might want to use Wan Shufang to do something in Prince Rong's Mansion, so he used Xu Qinglu's death to lure Prince Rong.

When Chen Changli thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart. He did not dare to show any abnormality on his face, lest the emperor saw it and became suspicious of him.

"After I collect Xu Qinglu's body, I will personally go to invite Prince Rong." Chen Changli suppressed the complicated thoughts in his mind and bowed respectfully to the emperor. "As for Prince Rong's illness... Although my wife is a good doctor, she has not been feeling well recently. I will let her stay at home to recuperate."

Having said this tentatively, Chen Changli looked up at the emperor, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about Wan Shufang's condition.

"I can send a few imperial doctors to help Wan Shufang." The emperor glanced at him and smiled slightly, but his aura was intimidating.

Chen Changli originally wanted to test whether the emperor knew where Wan Shufang was, but after hearing what he said, he felt that he was pretending to know.

Chen Changli felt a little uneasy, but there was no better way now, so he could only bite the bullet and reply: "I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Shufang."

The emperor smiled and said, "You two are very prudent and loyal to me. I have to keep you in mind whenever I have something to do, so that no one will talk nonsense in front of you and disturb your mood."

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Chen Changli's heart tightened and he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He just acted respectful and dutiful.

The emperor was very kind and showed great trust in Chen Changli. "I trust you two to do your job, so you should do your best to handle this matter. As for keeping vigil for the queen, let your children do it. You don't have to do it yourself."

The Queen will be buried in half a month. The Emperor has made all the arrangements in the previous half a month, and in the second half a month he will lure the snakes out of their holes and capture all the hidden bull gods, ghosts and snakes in one fell swoop.

So he had to find something for Chen Changli to do so that he would not hinder him and give Princess An Qing a chance to escape.

Chen Changli vaguely guessed the emperor's thoughts, and immediately bid farewell to the emperor, and then came to Xu Qinglu's body under the leadership of Su Dequan.

Looking at Xu Qinglu, whose face was pale and eyes were closed, Chen Changli felt confused and for a moment he didn't know what to do to suppress his restless thoughts.

"General Chen, I have prepared the shroud for this girl according to your majesty's orders."

Su Dequan glanced at the silent Chen Changli, and couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.

However, when he thought of the emperor's thoughts, Su Dequan could only remind Chen Changli not to let him indulge in his own thoughts.

Chen Changli's gentle face showed no trace of his thoughts: "Your Majesty, have you prepared funeral clothes for her? I thought I would need to order them for her after I return."

Su Dequan heard this, and the expression on his face was hard to read: "Although Xu Qinglu is the leader of the White Lotus Sect and is considered a traitor, she is your aunt after all. Your Majesty will give her some respect for your sake."

Chen Changli's face froze. Was it more respectable to prepare funeral clothes specially, or to let Prince Rong, who had nothing to do with her, to send her off?

What exactly is the emperor planning? Isn't he well aware of Xu Qinglu's identity as a traitor?

Even if Prince Rong wants to marry Xu Qinglu because of the old Prince Rong, he may have to do so.

But that happened many years ago. Not to mention Prince Rong, I’m afraid Xu Qinglu doesn’t even know about it.

The Emperor asked Prince Rong to bury Xu Qinglu, a traitor. Was he sure that he was not suspicious of Prince Rong and wanted to warn him?

Suddenly realizing that Xu Qinglu's death was a warning to Prince Rong, Chen Changli became more and more suspicious of the emperor's intentions, and was also worried about Wan Shufang in Prince Rong's mansion.

"I see. I know what to do now. Eunuch Su, please find a few palace maids to come over first."

Chen Changli's thoughts turned, and it seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact only a breath had passed.

He immediately adjusted his mood and asked Su Dequan to find a few palace maids to help Xu Qinglu tidy up her appearance and change clothes. Then he found someone to help take Xu Qinglu back to the general's mansion.

When Su Dequan and several palace maids focused their attention on Xu Qinglu, Chen Changli took this opportunity to contact Ye Xuan and asked him to pay more attention to the emperor's movements recently and not to fall into any trap.

Ye Xuan was even more cautious than Chen Changli. When he knew that the emperor wanted to meet Chen Changli, he almost thought that what he and Chen Changli had done in secret had been exposed.

Now that Chen Changli contacted him, Ye Xuan guessed that the emperor just had some suspicions but had no evidence. Although his tense heart relaxed a lot, he still felt a little uneasy.

He really wanted to leave the palace to find Chen Changli, but no matter how anxious he was, he did not show it on his face and just obediently followed the officials to keep vigil.

When the time came, he took a special look at Lin Jing.

Seeing Su Dequan coming to his side, he said something to him and took him away. From then on, Ye Xuan felt more and more uneasy.

"Lord Ye, are you worried about Lord Lin?" The Crown Princess has been feeling uneasy ever since she met Princess An Qing. Coincidentally, there was no news from Chen Changli, so she was even more worried that Princess An Qing would make a stupid move.

She was restless while keeping vigil today, and it was not until Lin Jing was called away by the emperor that she realized that she had not seen Chen Changli all day.

She immediately told the people around her to inquire about Chen Changli and then came to find Ye Xuan.

"Your Majesty has been sad about the Queen's affairs recently. As His Majesty's most trusted ministers, Lin Jing and I want to help him solve his problems."

"It's a pity that His Majesty is immersed in pain and is unwilling to see Lin Jing and me alone."

When Ye Xuan saw the Crown Princess, he immediately wanted to discuss the matter of Lin Jing and Chen Changli with her, but when he saw someone looking at him from the corner of his eye, alarm bells immediately went off in his heart.

"Crown Princess, His Majesty's mind is hard to guess. I'm worried that a storm is about to come."

Ye Xuan said this in a low voice, winked at the Crown Princess, and turned and left.

The Crown Princess watched her leaving for a long time, then returned home with her maid.

As soon as she came back, she went to find Lord Cheng En and told him what happened today. Then she asked anxiously, "Dad, is the emperor going to take action?"

Duke Cheng En stroked his beard and sighed, "It's possible. After all, the Queen's death is a good excuse. His Majesty cares so much about the power in his hands that he will not tolerate anyone dividing his power from outside."

"The reason he was quiet before was probably because he was trying to figure out a plan. Now that he's making some moves, I'm afraid he's already arranged everything and is just waiting to lure you into a trap."

When the Crown Princess heard this, her expression changed from gloomy to bright, as if the weather in June changed quickly.

"Who is Father going to deal with? Why did he spend half a month planning this?"
