Chen Changli said with certainty: "The fourth prince is so blatantly seeking fame for himself, maybe it is General Zhao who is trying his best to cooperate."

Why Zhao Yunhui cooperated with the fourth prince was probably because he wanted to satisfy the fourth prince as soon as possible so that he could take him back to the capital, but he didn't know whether the fourth prince would be satisfied.

You must know that the human heart is greedy, and there is no end to it. The fourth prince himself is shameless. If he gets a little benefit, he will expand his inner greed.

No matter how outstanding Zhao Yunhui's abilities were, and no matter how eloquent he was, he could not satisfy the endless greed of the fourth prince.

However, the situation in the southwestern territory is indeed very bad. If the fourth prince does not want to waste time here, he will definitely stop as soon as he sees good, but I don't know where the bottom line is for him to stop as soon as he sees good.

Chen Changli had some mixed thoughts in his mind, and vaguely understood Zhao Yunhui's helplessness.

He wanted to help, but he didn't want to face the greedy and shameless fourth prince.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Chen Changli looked at Wan Shufang with a calm face and said slowly: "Since General Zhao didn't come to us, it means that he can still deal with the fourth prince at the moment, and we can also do our own thing. , don’t worry that the Fourth Prince will deliberately come to cause trouble.”

"However, we cannot take it lightly. We still need to be more vigilant. Therefore, I decided to wait until the soldiers are fully recovered from their injuries before testing the Fourth Prince."

When Chen Changli said this, there was no expression on his face, but his voice was gentle and pleasant.

"My mission is to take him back to the capital. If he is unwilling to listen to General Zhao, then I can only take him out of here first."

"As soon as he and I leave, you and General Zhao will feel more relaxed. Then you can rest here for a while before returning to the capital."

Wan Shufang shook her head: "The fourth prince naturally has to find a way to return to the capital once he is famous. He can't stay here. After all, the prince is not in the capital now. If he wants to stand out among several princes, he will have to do everything possible. Find a way to seize this opportunity."

When it comes to the possible decision of the fourth prince, Wan Shufang is actually not very sure in her heart. She just thinks that if the fourth prince wants to seize the legitimate son, he will naturally focus on the capital, and where can he waste time in the southwest boundary.

Because of this, she was sure that the reason why Zhao Yunhui wanted to help the fourth prince become famous in the southwest was because he had already figured out what the fourth prince was thinking.

He is now doing his best to help the fourth prince, but he just wants to leave a good impression on the fourth prince.

Wan Shufang believes that Zhao Yunhui is more agile and flexible in this matter, and Chen Changli cannot compare with him.

He probably knew this in his heart, and no one came to find Chen Changli in just a few days.

Wan Shufang felt that Zhao Yunhui was a veteran in the officialdom compared to Chen Changli. With him hanging around the fourth prince, even if the fourth prince had any thoughts about Chen Changli, he would probably be able to help Chen Changli solve his troubles.

However, there were some things that he couldn't rely on alone. Chen Changli still had to discuss with Zhao Yunhui more before he could easily deal with the fourth prince's move.

She immediately said to Chen Changli: "The doctors and I will stay here for a few more days. You can leave the affairs of these soldiers to me. Of course, if you are worried, you can arrange a few people to help me."

"You want to drive me away?" Chen Changli listened to Wan Shufang's words and couldn't help but look at her with some confusion, "Why? Maybe you want me to help the fourth prince."

When the word "help" was mentioned, Chen Changli's face changed. He seemed to be moved, but even more reluctant to approach the fourth prince.

When Wan Shufang saw the repulsion on his face, she knew that he was not happy to see him because he was very unhappy with the fourth prince.

Although she was firmly on Chen Changli's side and didn't want to embarrass him, some things couldn't be solved by hiding.

She could only reach out and hold Chen Changli to give him some comfort, but she advised him: "The fourth prince is indeed not a very good person, but he is your mission, and you will most likely have to send him back in person in the end."

"He loves vanity. If you don't like this about him, then you can just pretend you don't see it and just concentrate on doing your own thing."

"What's more, General Zhao will cooperate with you. The fourth prince's attention should be on General Zhao. During this period, you can learn some ways of being an official from General Zhao."

"When you return to the capital in the future, no matter what the Fourth Prince plans to do, you can advance and retreat with General Zhao."

Wan Shufang thinks Zhao Yunhui is very smart and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Compared with him, Chen Changli was more upright, and because he was very close to the prince, both Prince Duan and other princes had some opinions on him.

Now the Fourth Prince is clearly trying to grab the credit again. Although Chen Changli has taken a step back, his previous hesitation may make the Fourth Prince hold a grudge.

Wan Shufang felt that instead of letting the fourth prince take the lead, it would be better for Chen Changli to learn more so that he could easily deal with the troubles caused by the fourth prince in the officialdom in the future.

"I can't see as clearly as you." Chen Changli understood what Wan Shufang meant and couldn't help but lament that he had gotten into trouble and almost caused trouble for his family.

He immediately adjusted his mentality, looked at Wan Shufang with shame, and said happily: "Fortunately, you gave me some advice, otherwise I would have continued to avoid the Fourth Prince. Even if Zhao Yunhui was willing to speak for me, the Fourth Prince would be inappropriate on the surface. It’s the same thing, I’m afraid I will hate you to the core.”

When Wan Shufang listened to Chen Changli's sigh, she felt that he had not thought of this.

It's just that he can't stand the Fourth Prince's behavior and doesn't want to join in with him, so he doesn't want to have any contact with him.

"You just got distracted. Besides, I don't like people like the Fourth Prince, let alone you."

Wan Shufang has not officially met the fourth prince, and based on the information she learned from Chen Changli, she does not have a good impression of him.

Chen Changli is smart and capable, but he is also relatively upright.

It's strange that he could get used to someone like the Fourth Prince who blatantly grabs credit.

It was precisely because he couldn't stand the shamelessness of the fourth prince that Chen Changli was unwilling to have deeper contact with him.

Wan Shufang knew him well as his pillow, so naturally she felt sorry for him.

But being with the fourth prince so far away was not a problem, so she could only comfort Chen Changli and let him endure the humiliation in front of the fourth prince.

"No matter how bad the fourth prince is, he is also a nobleman of the emperor, and your mission is him. After all, when you face him, you are not as comfortable and unrestrained as you face the prince. But as long as he is willing to return to the capital, then he will bring you all kinds of things. It feels bearable.”

"So our top priority is to get him back to Beijing safely, rather than letting him stay here any longer."

"I think General Zhao thinks the same way, and that's why he is willing to help him spread his reputation."

After Wan Shufang spoke, she felt more and more that her guess was true, and immediately asked Chen Changli to find Zhao Yunhui quickly, so as not to let the fourth prince use the topic as an excuse.

Chen Changli's mind was clear and he understood the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately returned to Ping'an Prefecture.

Two days later, the fourth prince followed him to the military camp. He came specifically to see Wan Shufang and asked curiously: "When will these soldiers recover? Can they still fight?"
