Chapter 1564: Keep Your Tail Between Your Legs
The Sixth Prince? Chen Changli had met the Sixth Prince several times. He looked like a scholar, but in fact he was cunning and daring.
As a member of the Gu tribe, Old Lady Shang was indeed of some use to him, but he already had fire bombs in his hands.
As long as he can produce fire bombs continuously, he is not afraid of other people, nor is he afraid of the Phoenix Gu that can turn people into the living dead.
Therefore, it is possible that he could use Old Lady Shang to deal a heavy blow to the Eighth Prince, putting him at a disadvantage in public opinion.
But would he really do that? Chen Changli was unsure.
"It may not be related to the Sixth Prince. Maybe Chang Xuewei's people sneaked in, which caused Old Lady Shang to get into trouble in front of us."
Wan Shufang didn't know what Chen Changli was thinking. She thought according to her own train of thought and couldn't help but suspect Chang Xuewei. After all, every move of Mrs. Shang might be under Chang Xuewei's nose.
"What Chang Xuewei wants is the Phoenix Gu. Before the Phoenix Gu is taken out, she can't deal with Old Lady Shang." Wen Baicao immediately retorted.
Wan Shufang glanced at him and said calmly, "You are not the worm in her stomach, so how can you be sure of her thoughts?"
"Besides, the real enemy of Liu Ying and Old Lady Shang is Chang Xuewei. Liu Ying is hiding in Prince Yong's Mansion. If Chang Xuewei's people are not patient enough, they will definitely not notice her."
"But Old Lady Shang is different. She once used a fire bomb to destroy a station in Xintiandi, and used it to kill people who were loyal to Chang Xuewei."
"Chang Xuewei was later attacked by the Eighth Prince and the Sixth Prince, and had no choice but to behave herself."
After Wan Shufang said this, she paused and then continued.
"As far as I know, Chang Xuewei is the granddaughter of Prince Mingde. She is very proud of her status. She established the Xintianhui in order to overthrow Dajing and establish a new dynasty."
"An ambitious woman who ends up in such an embarrassing situation because of a pawn will definitely feel humiliated and want to find the culprit to avenge herself."
When Wan Shufang said this, she deliberately glanced at Ye Yun. Seeing his expression froze, and then he frowned as if thinking about something, she felt a little relieved.
It seems that the Eighth Prince and others also know Chang Xuewei's identity, but I don't know if they are on guard against her.
If they looked down on women for having such ambitions, they would probably suffer a great loss.
As her mind was turning over and over, Wan Shufang developed an inexplicable feeling in her heart, making her feel vaguely uneasy.
She tried hard to suppress her uneasiness and said calmly, "Ye Yun, I heard from Old Lady Shang that after her base in the Wumeng Mountains was destroyed, she came to Yongzhou City and lay dormant."
"Every move you and the Eighth Prince made may have been under her nose."
"And when Tu Zhizhi came back with Old Lady Shang, she didn't hide it at all, and the two of them even had a scene."
"You know Tu Zhizhi's temper. Do you think the trouble she caused can be suppressed?"
Before Ye Yun answered, Chen Changli said, "I think her struggle with Old Lady Shang is not only known to Chang Xuewei, but even the Ninth Prince has received the news."
After saying that, he glanced at Wen Baicao and said coldly, "Manager Wen, you're back just in time."
Wen Baicao's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and then he looked at Chen Changli calmly.
Seeing that he looked calm, as if he didn't think he had said anything shocking, Wen Baicao smiled and said, "You doubt me? Haha, I really can't stand scrutiny, but I swear to heaven that I have no intention of using the Eighth Prince."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and swore: "Listen to me, everyone. If I ever hurt or use the Eighth Prince, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
His action made Ye Yun look embarrassed and his mood fluctuated.
"What are you doing?" Chen Changli frowned. What he said before was a reasonable guess. Wen Baicao was so eager to swear an oath, which made it seem like he was using it to force people.
"That's right. If Chen Changli said something wrong, you can just refute it. Why do you need to swear an oath? My husband and I don't believe in this, so it's useless even if you swear it." When Wan Shufang said this, Wen Baicao almost couldn't hold back her expression.
He rolled his eyes at Wan Shufang without any hesitation and said sarcastically, "I didn't swear an oath to win your trust. Stop flattering yourself."
"Ye Yun is not a fool. How could he believe you just because of your oath?" Wan Shufang was puzzled. Wen Baicao was a businessman.
How could a businessman who dealt with so many forces be so frivolous?
"If a poisonous oath can solve everything, then there will be no evil people in this world." Ye Yun agreed with Wan Shufang's words and spoke immediately.
Seeing that the three of them had reached a tacit understanding, Wen Baicao couldn't help but twitch his lips, and then said helplessly: "Since you don't believe it, then lock me up."
"I am willing to cooperate with you in investigating everything. I just hope you can find out the truth and stop wrongly accusing good people."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Ye Yun was just worrying about what to do, when Wen Baicao suddenly gave him a way out, and he quickly grabbed it.
Wen Baicao's face turned green all of a sudden.
But he had said it, what could he do? He could only obey.
After the temperature herbs were taken away, Ye Yun quickly glanced at Liu Ying's body, and found that he still couldn't bear it, so he looked away and sighed softly.
"It seems that we can't take out the Phoenix Gu today. In that case, you two should go back first."
Wan Shufang was surprised when she heard this: "Don't you doubt us?"
Ye Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a cold look: "I do have some doubts, but even Old Lady Shang has fallen, what can I do?"
Hearing his deep meaning, Chen Changli was silent for a moment and said, "If you are worried, you might as well let my wife take Mrs. Shang's pulse."
Ye Yun was startled when he heard this, and immediately looked down at Old Lady Shang, whose face was pale and whose eyelids were dark blue. He had an unbelievable thought in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He just asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Chen Changli rubbed his fingers and said in a slow tone, "Chang Xuewei's New Heaven Society should not be underestimated, and the cooperation between the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince is not solid, so I think Chang Xuewei sided with the Sixth Prince in the Wumeng Mountains before."
"Hiding in Yongzhou City now may be the Sixth Prince's intention, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they are using each other to try to take advantage of the struggle between the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince to further strengthen their power."
Ye Yun felt a headache when he heard this: "I understand what you mean. You and Wan Shufang go back and rest first. I will go to discuss this with the Eighth Prince."
After he said that, he called for people to come in and clean up everything in the yard, and then left with the injured old lady and Liu Ying's body.
Staring at his departing figure, Wan Shufang lowered her voice and said, "This matter is strange. Liu Ying's death is also strange. Old Lady Shang's suspicion cannot be ignored. We must be more vigilant from now on."
