Chapter 1594: Panic
Tu Zhizhi rolled her eyes at the Eighth Prince: "I don't have such thoughts. I just want to use the Phoenix Gu to survive."
The Eighth Prince did not believe her, but seeing that she was so sure of what she said, and because he needed her, he pretended to believe her and said in a gentle tone, "You don't have to take it away. I will give it to you directly when the time comes."
Tu Zhizhi was stunned when she heard this. When she was sure that the Eighth Prince's tone was serious and there was no intention of joking or being defensive, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?" Tu Zhizhi asked immediately.
The Eighth Prince said calmly, "If you coveted the Phoenix Gu, when Old Lady Shang showed up, you would have gained her trust and helped her remove the Phoenix Gu instead of going to war to the point of death."
Tu Zhizhi smiled, but it seemed like a bitter smile: "I can't predict the future."
Her concise words revealed that her emotions at the moment were very complicated.
Ever since she realized that Old Lady Shang had put a curse on her, Tu Zhizhi had specially summoned all the doctors and poison masters under her command and asked them to find a solution to the problem, but there was not a single person who could be used.
She couldn't help but want to take advantage of Wan Shufang, but Wan Shufang was not proficient in witchcraft and wanted to take Old Lady Shang as her teacher.
She gave up the idea and tried to contact Tu Yuanzhou, asking him to help find someone with superb witchcraft. In order to spread the news, she asked Mudan to sacrifice herself.
Thinking of the loyal Mudan, Tu Zhizhi's heart bled.
She didn't have enough people under her command, and after Mudan's death, some people became disappointed with her.
There weren't many people she could move at this time, so she could only face Chang Xuewei.
I hope that after what happened in the Wumeng Mountains, Chang Xuewei doesn’t have any useful people under her command, otherwise she will be defeated once she faces Chang Xuewei.
Tu Zhizhi's mind turned over and over again, and her expression gradually became solemn: "Eighth Prince, I sacrificed a confidant to let the news spread."
"As for whether my brother will receive the news, to be honest, I'm not sure."
"Now I can only hope that my brother is thinking of me because of Li Ye's matter and sends some people to Yongzhou City to find me."
"If I can't deal with Chang Xuewei, I can only try my best to escape Yongzhou City with you."
Tu Zhizhi mentioned this matter because she wanted to dispel the Eighth Prince's possible misunderstanding and to make him mentally prepared that she would really need the Phoenix Gu in the future.
The Eighth Prince understood the meaning of her words and said without hesitation: "Since I have made a promise to you, I will keep my promise. You don't have to worry that I will go back on my word."
Tu Zhizhi couldn't help but grin when she heard this: "You made a promise to me before, but after Ye Yun said some ambiguous words, you distanced yourself from me."
Hearing her hint, the Eighth Prince looked embarrassed: "That's all in the past. Now my cousin and I have fully realized your importance."
"No matter what happens in the future, as long as you don't betray me, my cousin and I will always trust you."
The Eighth Prince's willingness to believe Tu Zhizhi's story also had a prerequisite, and Tu Zhizhi didn't care about it.
She only needed a word from the Eighth Prince. After the crisis was resolved, she would find a way to deal with Ye Yun. By then, the Eighth Prince would have no say over it.
Tu Zhizhi thought of this and was furious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. "It's getting late. You take Chen Changli to do his work. I'll take someone to take over Chen Changli's affairs."
"Okay." The Eighth Prince agreed immediately and went to find Chen Changli.
At this time, Chen Changli had already caught sight of Chang Xuewei and chased after her with Lin Jing.
As soon as the Eighth Prince came over, he received the news and couldn't help asking, "Can they catch Chang Xuewei?"
If Chen Changli can capture Chang Xuewei, Tu Zhizhi will have to help him resist the attack of the Ninth Prince.
In this way, most of Tu Zhizhi's subordinates would be sacrificed, and she would no longer have the confidence to challenge him.
"I'm not sure, but I think Chang Xuewei might be caught because her actions this time are very strange. She seems to be coming for you, but in fact, she is just trying to create a ridiculous drama."
As soon as Han Yi heard the eighth prince's question, he had an idea in his mind. After digesting it for a moment, he spoke softly.
"This drama was not well performed, but it was also very eye-catching. I suspect Chang Xuewei did it on purpose. Eighth Prince, if you have any intention, you can spread false news at this time and let Chang Xuewei consider it."
When the Eighth Prince heard this, he thought for a while and felt that Chang Xuewei was also a cancer, even worse than Wen Baicao. She could not live and must die.
It would be best if she died at the hands of Chen Changli.
If she wasn't dead, he would have to think of a way to let Chen Changli kill her.
Having made up his mind, the Eighth Prince immediately asked, "What false news are you going to ask me to spread?"
Han Yi thought for a moment and said, "The Sixth Prince broke his promise."
The eighth prince's eyes suddenly became sharp: "The sixth prince did not break the contract."
Han Yi was stunned, then said with a subtle expression: "Don't you think that the Ninth Prince and the Sixth Prince are cooperating?"
"Is this Chen Changli's guess?" When the Eighth Prince heard Han Yi's words, he felt that what happened between him and the Sixth Prince was a joke and he was ridiculed by Chen Changli and his gang.
Han Yi took a deep look at the Eighth Prince and saw a hint of hostility between his brows. He then knew what he was thinking and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Is it necessary to hide this matter? It would be ridiculous to hide something that anyone with a clear eye can understand.
Han Yi really wanted to explain this to the Eighth Prince and ask him to stop pretending.
However, thinking that the Eighth Prince was not very broad-minded, he immediately swallowed his words and looked at the Eighth Prince meaningfully. When the Eighth Prince reacted, he lowered his eyelids to hide the speechless deep in his eyes.
"This is my guess. It has nothing to do with Chen Changli. He just wants to capture Chang Xuewei and calm the chaos in Yongzhou City. He doesn't have the time to guess anything else."
"Eighth Prince, do you have anything to do? If not, why don't you come with me to find Chen Changli."
"Maybe Chang Xuewei will be caught as soon as the two of us get there."
Han Yi's words touched the Eighth Prince's heart, and he was about to agree immediately, but when he thought about what the Ninth Prince had done, his eyes were filled with hostility.
"Old Nine is attacking the city. I have to go to the outer city to take charge."
Han Yi hadn't received the news yet. When she heard the Eighth Prince's words, her expression changed instantly. "I thought Chang Xuewei was trying to help the Sixth Prince by causing such a commotion. I didn't expect that she was helping the Ninth Prince."
"Take me to the outer city to check the situation. If the situation is not favorable to us, we must make plans early."
Han Yi was quite anxious. After speaking to the Eighth Prince, he specially found someone to pass the message to Chen Changli and Lin Jing.
The Eighth Prince did not stop him. After he had made all the arrangements, he took him to the outer city.
As soon as they arrived here, they found that the Ninth Prince's attack was very swift and the city gate was almost broken.
The Eighth Prince anxiously arranged for people to guard the city gates, then gnashed his teeth and said, "How could this happen? Could it be that Tu Zhizhi was right?"
Han Yi was panicking: "What did Tu Zhizhi say?"
