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

Duke Cheng'en saw that the Crown Princess had an unhappy expression and a trace of worry between her brows. He knew very well that she had guessed the Emperor's many plans and was preparing to let him test the Emperor so that she could come up with a foolproof plan in secret.

Although Duke Cheng'en was full of wisdom and strategies, he was unwilling to touch the emperor's tiger whiskers when he guessed that the emperor had obvious plans.

This is because the older the emperor gets, the more he cares about the power in his hands. If he notices Duke Cheng'en's little tricks, he will definitely turn against him and be ruthless.

Even if Duke Cheng'en was his confidant, he would find a crime for him and execute his entire family.

"I know what you are worried about, but there are some things that we can't succeed just because we want to do them."

Lord Cheng'en spoke in a heavy tone, and there was a hint of subtle discomfort in his eyes as he looked at the Crown Princess.

"Your Majesty has his own plans and has made many arrangements in secret. Even if we guess what he is going to do, we can only cooperate with him on the surface and secretly look for a glimmer of hope for our family."

"We cannot do anything unnecessary. Otherwise, His Majesty will kill us before he has cleaned up the other pests."

Duke Cheng'en deliberately emphasized the last sentence and looked at the Crown Princess very seriously, hoping that she could understand what he said.

When the Crown Princess met Lord Cheng'en's eyes, she immediately understood what he meant and felt as if her heart was soaked in coptis and was extremely bitter.

She tugged at her handkerchief and sighed, "I know exactly what Dad is worried about. According to my idea, if Dad and I join forces, we will definitely be able to find a ray of hope for our family. Unfortunately, my father is a suspicious and paranoid person. I'm afraid he has already sent people to keep an eye on the Cheng'en Mansion."

"If my father and I had done something small, he would have discovered it before we had even finished our work and would have tried every way to hinder us."

The Crown Princess said this in one breath, and she felt a sour feeling crawling at the corners of her eyes, but after a while it turned into tears rolling down.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and looked at Lord Cheng'en with red eyes, her heart full of self-blame and melancholy.

"Dad, your daughter shouldn't make you worry, nor should you worry about your daughter's affairs."

After a brief pause, the Crown Princess continued.

"Everything Wan Shufang is doing now is instigated by her daughter. Her daughter must make sure that she is safe at the moment before she can feel at ease. So there are some things that her daughter has to do no matter how dangerous they are."

Although the Crown Princess had no idea what kind of pain Wan Shufang had gone through, she could imagine it.

Seeing that the Emperor was going to use the Queen's death to kill everyone, the Crown Princess naturally worried that Wan Shufang would be implicated.

She wanted Wan Shufang to be safe, so she had to do something to ensure her safety and let her return to the general's mansion safely.

"Wan Shufang..." Lord Cheng En thought of Wan Shufang who had not been seen for half a month, and his emotions were very complicated. "She is your friend. It is understandable that you want to save her, but I hope you don't put yourself in danger."

Lord Cheng'en knew why Wan Shufang was nowhere to be seen, but the Crown Princess was his daughter and Wan Shufang was an outsider to him, so he naturally favored the Crown Princess and did not want her to fall into danger for Wan Shufang.

The Crown Princess understood what Lord Cheng'en meant, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end she said nothing and only nodded to show that she understood.

She said goodbye to Cheng Engong and went to find Yun Qiongying, wanting her to find Chen Xiyun to do something.

But after seeing Yun Qiongying coming, she gave up her plan after thinking it over. She just looked at Yun Qiongying helplessly and asked meaningfully, "Have you and Chen Xiyun mentioned the general's wife recently?"

Yun Qiongying nodded hurriedly: "Of course it was mentioned, but we all know that the general's wife wants to cooperate with my sister to save those innocent doctors, so we usually don't mention this matter, but we have an inexplicable concern for many doctors."

"If they have any problems, or if someone they know is missing, we will send someone to ask them about it, so as to avoid missing the doctors and causing the general's wife to work in vain."

When talking about what she and Chen Xiyun had done, Yun Qiongying had a lot to say, and she also felt that she and Chen Xiyun were doing good things.

She spent a lot of energy on this matter and clearly understood the crisis that Wan Shufang might encounter.

She didn't dare miss even the slightest thing, for fear of accidentally causing trouble for Wan Shufang.

"Sister, why are you mentioning the general's wife now? Is there any news about her?" Yun Qiongying couldn't help but ask.

The Crown Princess chuckled, "She did have news, but I don't know her situation. Chen Changli knows about it. If you and Chen Xiyun are worried about the general's wife, you can go to Chen Changli to ask."

When Yun Qiongying heard this, she stared at the Crown Princess intently.

Seeing her puzzled expression and a flash of worry in the depths of her eyes, Yun Qiongying's heart suddenly tightened.

She reached out her hand and tightly grasped the Crown Princess, and asked anxiously, "Sister, has something happened to the General's wife?"

"Why do you think so?" The Crown Princess looked at Yun Qiongying's face full of worry, and her mood couldn't help but fluctuate.

She could still vividly remember the last words that Duke Cheng'en gave her. As his daughter, how could she not know what he was thinking?

She knew that Lord Cheng'en was worried about her and didn't want to be implicated by Wan Shufang's affairs, but Wan Shufang was in danger because of her.

"Because my sister doesn't look good." Yun Qiongying bit her lip, leaving a row of white teeth marks on it, and then she slowly spoke, "When my sister looked like this in the past, it meant that something had happened that made it difficult for her to handle."

Reaching out and touching her face, the Crown Princess said in a faint tone: "Am I so obvious?"

Yun Qiongying grabbed her hand and nodded solemnly: "It's obvious, so sister, can you tell me what happened?"

The Crown Princess carefully looked at Yun Qiongying, and thinking of her and Chen Xiyun's sincere hearts, she said worriedly: "Father has been planning for many years, and finally he wants to use the Queen's death to purge the entire Dajing officialdom."

Yun Qiongying's eyelids twitched and her heart beat so violently that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her chest.

The Crown Princess's face was unusually calm: "Dad guessed this, and although he was terrified, he felt that this was an opportunity. He wanted to seize this opportunity and protect his family."

"I wanted to ask Dad to arrange for some people to leave, but after hearing what Dad said, I knew that Duke Cheng'en's Mansion had long been a thorn in the side of Father."

"My father and I have also been noticed by the emperor, so if we want to protect our family, we have no choice but to stick to one path and not fall out with the emperor."

"Qiongying, when I thought about this, I suddenly understood why Dad was so cautious. He was clearly afraid that one wrong move would cause our whole family to fall into the abyss."

The Crown Princess' words were simple, but Yun Qiongying still felt terrified.

Her expression tensed, and she asked anxiously, "Sister, are you and Dad ready to give up the general's wife?"
