Chapter 1566: Make plans early
A trace of worry flashed across Chen Changli's brows: "The princes have their own guesses, but Wen Baicao is good at business and has amazing wealth. The princes want to defeat him, so they will take a fancy to him."
"I think Wen Baicao can deal with several princes because he knows that the wealth in his hands can impress people."
"He is playing both sides and deliberately showing off his true colors. He wants these princes to be wary of each other and then use him to their advantage."
"As for whether the final result will be what he wants, it depends on God. He has no way to control it. Otherwise, why would his son fall in love with Tu Zhizhi?"
When Chen Changli first heard about Tu Zhizhi's emotional entanglement, he knew immediately that Tu Zhizhi had wanted to use Wen Ziyu from the very beginning, and Wen Baicao, because of his pride in his own status, did not take Wen Ziyu seriously, which led to him being taken advantage of.
Wan Shufang thought for a moment and said, "Wen Baicao is a cold-hearted person. I'm afraid he would be happy to see his son and Tu Zhizhi's affairs turn out like this."
Chen Changli chuckled: "In fact, this person seems to be thoughtful, but because of his old age, his thoughts have become a bit impetuous. If Wen Ziyu and Tu Zhizhi can still use each other from now on, Wen Baicao will be even happier."
His words were full of meaning. After hearing them, Jiang Xuan thought about recent events and laughed dryly, saying, "Tu Zhizhi is pretty. Wen Ziyu will be tempted by her beauty, and Wen Baicao will certainly add fuel to the flames. After all, love affairs can cause disasters."
"Tu Zhizhi is Tu Yuanzhou's sister. Now Tu Yuanzhou has the upper hand, and Tu Zhizhi is wandering outside, like a knife that can stab him."
"There is no reason for the princes to let Tu Zhizhi go. If Wen Baicao deeply hates the Dajing royal family, he will naturally be able to figure out the princes' thoughts and make secret plans."
"So I guess Wen Baicao has used some tricks to change Wen Ziyu's mind after he was rejected by Tu Zhizhi."
"If we want to avoid Old Lady Shang who was attracted by the Phoenix Gu, we can make use of these three people."
Jiang Xuan said a lot in a row before pausing for a moment.
Wan Shufang pursed her lips and then smiled: "Your idea is the same as mine, but you have to think carefully about how to use this matter and not be too reckless."
The last few words in her speech were directed to Chen Changli, so her eyes, filled with a hint of worry, also fell on Chen Changli.
Chen Changli understood what she was thinking. His expression moved slightly but he said nothing. He just held her hand tightly.
Wan Shufang knew that he was feeling complicated at the moment, so she said no more and just accompanied him silently.
The silence between the couple made the atmosphere in the room somewhat subtle, and Jiang Xuan seemed to be aware of something.
He deliberately looked up at the couple, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but he didn't. He just went back to his room to rest.
When Chen Changli heard the sound of the door closing, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, then took Wan Shufang back to the room.
After closing the door, the couple waited patiently for a while, making sure there were no prying eyes before entering the hospital.
"Chen Changli, you should carry the Phoenix Gu with you." Wan Shufang had thought this over carefully, so she did not allow Chen Changli to refuse.
"Are you worried that Old Lady Shang will use other methods to test you?" Chen Changli's words seemed like a question, but in fact they were affirmative.
Wan Shufang nodded seriously: "She is a member of the Gu tribe after all. No one knows what secrets the Gu tribe has. Moreover, the blood of the Gu tribe has miraculous effects. I am worried that when Mrs. Shang recovers this time, she will use the secrets of the Gu tribe to test you."
"Your worries are not unreasonable, but the Phoenix Gu has changed. If someone sees it, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble." Chen Changli would not refuse Wan Shufang's kindness, but he was worried.
The Phoenix Gu is in the shape of a butterfly and is not easy to hide. If it enters his body, Chen Changli feels a little uncomfortable, but then he feels that this is the most appropriate thing to do.
"Let the Phoenix Gu enter my body." Chen Changli made up his mind immediately.
Wan Shufang looked depressed, but she did not stop it because she didn't have any good ideas.
Wan Shufang carefully used poison powder to lure the Phoenix Gu over. She cut Chen Changli's wrist and let it enter through the wound, but she didn't expect it to lie on the wound to drink blood and had no intention of entering.
Wan Shufang looked anxious: "In the past, it would drill into the wound whenever it saw it. Why isn't it drilling into the wound now?"
Chen Changli was silent for a moment and then said, "The Phoenix Gu has already mutated, so our inference about it must also change."
"Then what should we do? We can't carry it with us, right?" Wan Shufang looked anxious, and soon a trace of regret appeared on her face.
"If I had known that Phoenix Gu would attract so much attention, I should have learned more about Gu techniques from Wei Mingzhou. This way, I wouldn't be helpless at this moment."
The more Wan Shufang spoke, the more she blamed herself, and the regret on her face was so intense that it frightened Chen Changli.
Chen Changli immediately reached out and held her in his arms, his tone full of comfort: "Shufang, don't let your mind wander and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Too many things have happened during this period of time, no one could have predicted them, not to mention that there are people watching us in secret, so all we can do is to deal with them as they come."
"I think we have done a good job during this period. If you blame yourself and feel regretful, won't that make the people in the dark proud?"
After hearing the first few sentences, Wan Shufang's mood didn't change much, but when the last sentence reached her ears, alarm bells started ringing in her heart.
Hugging Chen Changli with her backhand, Wan Shufang said with a bitter look on her face: "Just comfort me."
"I'm not trying to comfort you, but telling you the truth. After all, Chang Xuewei is eyeing you covetously in secret." Chen Changli heard her calm tone and knew that his words had worked, so he continued to comfort her.
Wan Shufang understood what he meant. In order not to let herself be controlled by her emotions, she tried her best to adjust herself, and then guessed: "How do you think the Eighth Prince is going to deal with Chang Xuewei? What will Old Lady Shang do after she wakes up this time?"
Chen Changli's mind was spinning like lightning, and he thought to himself, "I said before that things might not be as bad as we thought, but when things came to this, I found that things were much better than we thought."
"So the matter of these two people is not simple. Since Wen Baicao was able to come back from the Ninth Prince, it means that he will take some action."
"We as a couple can either wait and see what happens or add fuel to the fire."
When Chen Changli said this, he felt a slight headache. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and sighed.
"The changes in Phoenix Gu can also be used as bait to make them fight endlessly, but I'm not sure whether their concern for Phoenix Gu is real or fake."
"Didn't you say we wouldn't take any risks?" Wan Shufang was so shocked that her pupils shrank and her face turned pale.
Chen Changli rubbed Wan Shufang's palm, lowered his eyes to look at her eyebrows, and said earnestly: "I promised you that I would not do this, but there are some things that we cannot guard against, so I have to make plans early."
