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

Prince Rong's heart was filled with alarm, but he looked at Chen Changli with a blank expression, as if he had no idea what he meant.

Chen Changli looked at him calmly and continued, "The magic medicine that the civil and military officials have chosen must be extraordinary. It just so happens that His Royal Highness Prince Rong is not feeling well. When I heard about the existence of this magic medicine, I planned to spend a large sum of money to buy it so that His Royal Highness Prince Rong could take it."

"What miracle medicine? I've never heard of it. Have you been fooled?" Seeing that he was serious, Prince Rong became anxious when he thought of the harm that 'opium' could bring.

Chen Changli said calmly: "The children of the noble families are all taking it. For the sake of your health, I have specially sent people to inquire about it. Everyone believes in it. How can there be a problem? How could I be deceived?"

He said this as if he was sincerely concerned about Prince Rong's health, and was not aware of the secret of "opium" at all.

Prince Rong was slightly surprised. Why did Chen Changli suddenly become so persistent? Could it be the emperor's intention?

The first thing he thought of was the emperor, and he hated him to death.

If the emperor had not suddenly gone mad, why would he use the excuse of being seriously ill to stay in the general's mansion?

Although Chen Changli was easy to get along with, he was a very cautious person. Prince Rong pretended to be sick and lay in bed. Every time he met him, he couldn't help but suspect that he had already seen through his pretense.

Now Chen Changli suddenly asked to buy medicine for him, Prince Rong immediately suspected that this was a test. He wondered what Chen Changli knew and why he was testing him like this?

What does the emperor mean? Why does he indulge Chen Changli so much?

With so many complicated thoughts in his mind, Prince Rong felt like his head was about to explode.

Prince Rong was very concerned about the Emperor's purge of the court. He was recuperating in the General's Mansion during this period, but his subordinates were busy and confused.

This time the emperor seemed to have made up his mind. The speed and intensity of the purge were beyond people's expectations, and Prince Rong's people had no way of finding out more.

Prince Rong could not grasp the emperor's thoughts or attitude. He felt like a cat's claws was scratching his heart, and he was so itchy that he wanted to rush into the palace, grab the emperor by the collar and interrogate him about his thoughts.

However, Chen Changli would come to see him every day and ask about his condition. Even though he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, he had to suppress his anxiety in his heart and pretend to be sick to deceive Chen Changli.

Whenever he faced Chen Changli these days, he always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and an unpleasant emotion was also rising in his heart, which would completely explode when it reached a critical point.

As soon as the three words "Opium" came out, the critical point was brought forward. However, the interests involved behind "Opium" are huge, and it is also the best poison to control people.

Even if Prince Rong wanted to let out the depression he had been feeling for days, he had to suppress it because of the opium.

"You are a smart person and you won't be fooled. But there are many stupid people in this world. They believe everything they hear and will be fooled."

"It would be fine if they were deceived, but they have no self-awareness and insist on using their own ideas to convince others, causing others to be deceived because of their trust in them."

Prince Rong said this and looked at Chen Changli with sympathy.

The sympathy in his eyes was so strong that one could tell at a glance that he was worried that Chen Changli had been deceived by those stupid nobles.

Chen Changli observed his expression and asked tentatively, "The legend of the miracle drug is so mysterious, and many people are taking it, which shows that it is indeed effective. Your Highness, why don't you try it?"

Prince Rong's heart skipped a beat. Why did Chen Changli insist on making him take opium? Could it be that he did this not because of the emperor's intention, but because he had found out something and wanted to test him?

Prince Rong's mind was in turmoil. He began to doubt Chen Changli's intentions. His mood suddenly became a little bit up and down, but he didn't dare to show it on his face at all.

He tried his best to calm himself down and said with a tense expression, "No matter how mysterious this medicine is, I don't believe it. You don't have to spend a lot of money to buy it for me to take."

"Your Highness, are you worried that this medicine is not suitable for your condition? It happens that there are many imperial physicians around you. They are highly skilled in medicine and can definitely check the efficacy of this medicine and whether it is suitable for your condition." Chen Changli advised earnestly.

Prince Rong was so frightened that his eyelids twitched slightly and his breathing became faster.

Then he covered his chest and panted, "Of course I believe in the medical skills of the imperial doctors, but over the years, they have been helpless against my condition. No matter how good the so-called 'opium' is, I don't think it is useful."

"Chen Changli, I know you mean well, but I know my physical condition better than you do, so I don't want to trouble the doctors."

He tactfully rejected Chen Changli's kindness. Chen Changli wanted to persuade him, but was unwilling to give Prince Rong a sense of urgency at this time.

He decided to quit while he was ahead: "Since His Highness has said so, I can only give up this plan."

After he finished speaking, seeing that Prince Rong still looked unwell, Chen Changli specially called all the imperial doctors over and asked them to take care of Prince Rong, while he went to capture people at daybreak.

Not long after he left, Prince Rong found an excuse to send the doctors away, and called the housekeeper, impatiently asking, "What has Liu Yaoyao been doing these days? Why did she let Chen Changli know about 'Afurong'?"

Speaking of "opium", Prince Rong was like a hedgehog with thorns erected all over his body. He wished he could run back to Prince Rong's Mansion and stab Liu Yaoyao, who might have done something behind his back, until she was covered in blood.

"Liu Yaoyao has been following the prince's orders and has not acted alone." The housekeeper gasped in shock when he heard Prince Rong's words.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Prince Rong was overthinking.

Although Liu Yaoyao went out frequently during this period, she was busy with the tasks assigned by Prince Rong. She never acted alone, and there was no possibility of exposing the existence of "Afurong".

"Chen Changli mentioned 'opium' in front of me and was ready to feed it to me. Don't I know what kind of poison 'opium' is? Chen Changli is clearly harboring evil intentions."

Prince Rong was about to explode with rage, and the words that came out of his mouth were filled with strong anger.

Seeing that he was furious, the housekeeper was anxious and scared: "My Lord, anger is harmful to your health. You must take care of yourself!"

Prince Rong gnashed his teeth and said, "I can't take care of myself, because the emperor is watching me covetously in front of me, Chen Changli is testing me in every way behind me, and Liu Yaoyao is about to stab me in the back. How can I stay calm under such circumstances?"

As he spoke, he tightly grasped the butler's hand, his expression extremely sinister and ugly, "Did our people really not find out what the emperor was doing in secret?"
