Chapter 1570 Boast
Chen Changli understood Lin Jing's thoughts and immediately cooperated: "The queen has a backup plan left over from her and your majesty's many years of planning. If she gains the upper hand, the other princes will only become her pawns."
"However, Prince Rong has been preparing for rebellion for many years. He must have noticed the Queen and her husband's arrangement."
"I think the Queen has been hiding in the dark and has never been exposed to the public because she is on guard against Prince Rong."
"From what I know, the Sixth Prince and Prince Rong have had some contact. Maybe they have really reached a cooperation, and that's why they want to use an old lady Shang to stir up trouble."
"Old Lady Shang is not a fool. She must have guessed something and that's why she cooperated with the Sixth Prince."
When Chen Changli said this, his tone became solemn.
"Lord Lin, I think these princes have their own calculations, and their subordinates also have some guesses, so they cooperate with each other, hoping that the people they are loyal to will win the final victory."
"But human hearts are the most unpredictable. Who can guarantee that the person they are loyal to is their ostensible master?"
“So we have to be more careful not to get caught up in their struggle, lest we become abandoned pawns, not knowing what’s going on.”
After Chen Changli said this, he glanced at the people who were staring at him and his wife.
Seeing that their faces turned ugly for a moment, as if they had taken his words to heart, Chen Changli's brows unconsciously relaxed.
"You are so right."
Lin Jing mentioned the Queen specifically because he wanted the Eighth Prince's people to tell the Eighth Prince what he said, so that he could divert his attention and stop staring at them.
Unexpectedly, Chen Changli understood everything immediately, and with just a few casual words he also dragged Prince Rong and the Sixth Prince into the matter. He was very happy in his heart, but did not show any sign on his face, and just continued talking.
"Your Majesty wants to pursue immortality, and the Queen is deeply in love with Your Majesty. The couple might actually have a Phoenix Gu, which is why they both planned to fake their own deaths."
"Unfortunately, your majesty's luck was not very good, and his fake death turned into a real death. Only the queen succeeded."
"According to her true feelings for His Majesty, she seemed to have not shown up in the past few months since His Majesty's death, but in fact, she has been making small moves behind the scenes."
"If Old Lady Shang and the Sixth Prince were to assess the situation, how could they not add fuel to the flames?"
The more Lin Jing spoke, the more solemn his expression became, as if the words that came out of his mouth made him have another guess.
"Chen Changli, you and Wan Shufang must be careful! Chang Xuewei is also a cunning and difficult opponent. If she catches on to the game between these people, she will probably use it to make you and your wife the target of public criticism."
"Thank you, Lord Lin, for your reminder." Chen Changli sensed Lin Jing's worried tone and immediately bowed to thank him.
Lin Jing's eyes flashed when he saw this, and then he was about to cooperate with Chen Changli in acting so as to alert the Eighth Prince.
Wen Baicao couldn't stand it anymore and said sarcastically, "Are you so worried about the Queen? Then why don't you look panicked at all?"
As soon as he said this rather curious words, the Eighth Prince's men immediately set their sights on Chen Changli.
Feeling the gazes of the crowd as if they were real, Chen Changli said calmly: "If this matter can be solved by panicking, why should we worry about it here?"
After he said this, he deliberately glanced at Wen Baicao, and his tone was calm and somewhat cold: "To be honest, the one among us who really wants to deal with the queen and make her fall into eternal damnation is you."
"Now that we are talking about the Queen and her possible backup plan, shouldn't you be alert and stand together with us against this enemy?"
When Han Yi heard this, his eyes turned and he said, "Wen Baicao, your hatred is not just talk, right?"
As he said this, he looked at Wen Baicao, and it was unknown what he was thinking, his face was full of contempt and disdain.
Wen Baicao met his gaze, her face stern, and after a moment she smiled and said, "I know you doubt me, and you believe that I humiliated you before, but even without me, you can't get rid of Ye Yun's suspicion."
"I saved you so much before, how can you not be grateful?"
Wen Baicao said this bluntly, as if he was trying to make a fuss.
When Hanyi heard the word "gratitude", his face turned green and his expression became extremely ugly.
Lin Jing was worried that he would get angry, so he immediately reached out and pulled him, telling him to regain his senses and not let Wen Baicao get too proud.
"One judges others by one's own standards." Wen Baicao sneered when he heard the conversation between the two.
Wen Ziyu observed for a long time and found that the argument between Wen Baicao and Lin Jing was as relaxed as if they were old friends.
He wanted to offer help, but after realizing this, he didn't know what to do and could only feel conflicted.
After a long while, he asked Wen Baicao cautiously: "Dad, are you old friends with these people?"
Wen Baicao was stroking his beard and thinking about something, when he didn't expect Wen Ziyu to suddenly say this.
He almost got a stitch in the side: "Zi Yu, we are enemies, not old friends, don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Jing and Han Yi couldn't help hugging their arms, shivering all over, and said, "He wants us to die, and he's still an old friend? Boy, if there's something wrong with your eyes, you might as well ask someone to take a look."
When Wen Ziyu heard this, his face suddenly turned red, he was angry.
Wen Baicao sighed immediately upon seeing this: "Silly child, don't judge things by appearances, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
Wen Ziyu lowered his eyes after hearing this, and acted extremely ashamed, "My son, I have learned your lesson."
"Your child was brought up by your pampering." Lin Jing saw the interaction between the father and son, his eyes twinkled and he sighed.
He has not forgotten Wen Baicao's disdain for his son who has Ulan blood. Now the father and son get along happily, which clearly shows that Wen Baicao is putting on a show for outsiders.
"Shopkeeper Wen, I really envy the relationship between you and your son." Han Yi also knew Wen Baicao's attitude towards his own bloodline, so he raised his voice deliberately.
"What's the use of envy? The right thing to do is to get married and have children as soon as possible." Wen Baicao hinted at something.
Han Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Shopkeeper Wen is right, but unfortunately my standards are too high and I don't look down on ordinary women."
There was something else behind his words, and he was also vaguely mocking Wen Baicao's hypocrisy.
Wen Baicao said without hesitation: "I think you are not picky, but you are mocking my poor taste."
"You are right in your sarcasm. My vision is poor, but my son is a good person, so I made use of him."
"You... especially Mr. and Mrs. Chen Changli, you may never get a child like Ziyu in your entire life."
Wan Shufang was watching the show quietly at the side, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the show would involve herself.
Her face suddenly darkened, and she said in an unhappy tone, "For someone like your son, I would rather strangle him to death at birth. How could I spend my entire life wanting to have a child like him? Shopkeeper Wen, you underestimate people too much."
"Besides, my two children are not bad either, they are even better than yours. You are bragging about your own achievements when you say such things in front of me."
