Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Ye Xuan heard the urgency in the Crown Princess' words and quickly said, "Didn't your father tell you? I'm investigating the Gu worm recently. This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to be nervous."

His tone contained a soothing tone, just like an elder comforting his younger generation. The Crown Princess noticed this, and instead of relaxing, her heart was in her throat.

"Poisonous insect?" The Crown Princess muttered these two words after a brief silence, and then her eyes fell on Duke Cheng'en.

Seeing that he frowned, as if thinking about Ye Xuan's words, the Crown Princess pursed her lips for a while and said, "My father told me about the Gu worm, but he didn't say that this matter might involve Princess An Qing."

Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this. That was not what he meant just now. Why did the Crown Princess say that? Did the Crown Princess know some news? Or was Princess An Qing really related to the Gu worm?

As soon as his thought came to this point, Ye Xuan instantly thought of the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect.

At the beginning, this deputy leader recruited many talented poison masters in order to refine the Phoenix Gu.

Many poison masters obeyed the orders of the deputy leader and refined poisons for years. Not only did they make Princess An Qing give most of the poisons to Concubine De, but they also used these poisons to control many people after arriving in Luoyang City.

After the death of the deputy leader, most of the poison masters under his command were eliminated, but some of them were still taken away by those with ulterior motives.

Princess An Qing was the queen of Wulan and had close ties with the leader of the White Lotus Sect. How could she not have divided up these poison masters?

In other words, Princess An Qing designed the doctor's disappearance so that the poison masters under her command could see the light of day again.

Ye Xuan and Lin Jing tracked down those who were controlled by the poison, and then followed the clues and naturally investigated some of the things that Princess An Qing did privately.

The two of them were extremely disgusted with what Princess An Qing did, so they specially sent people to keep a close eye on Princess An Qing and not miss any of her whereabouts.

The night before, Princess An Qing escaped from the Dali Temple and went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion. Ye Xuan and Lin Jing soon received the news.

However, they did not act rashly. They just asked people to follow Princess An Qing from a distance, trying to find out the purpose of Princess An Qing coming to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

They never expected that before their people could find out anything, they heard that Chen Changli and his wife and the Crown Princess were all in the Eighth Prince's residence, and they also witnessed Princess An Qing poisoning the Eighth Prince with their own eyes.

Both sides disliked each other and insisted on their own opinions, and finally brought the matter to the emperor.

When Ye Xuan heard that Chen Changli and others had brought the matter to the emperor, he felt that they had made a stupid move.

After all, the emperor is the one who wants to obtain the Phoenix Gu and is obsessed with immortality. Princess An Qing has someone under her command who can refine the Phoenix Gu. As long as the emperor wants to use Princess An Qing to achieve his goal, he will naturally turn a blind eye to her affairs.

After a day and a night, Ye Xuan was sure that his guess was correct, and Chen Changli and others had indeed made a stupid move.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Changli and the others, but then he thought this was also an opportunity, so he came to Duke Cheng'en's mansion today to test Duke Cheng'en and see what his choice would be. Unexpectedly, he saw Wan Shufang accompanying the Crown Princess.

As soon as he saw Wan Shufang, Ye Xuan thought of Chen Changli, and wanted to meet Chen Changli to understand his mood at the moment.

However, when he noticed that the Crown Princess cared very much about his words, Ye Xuan gave up the idea, because the Crown Princess seemed to have become more motivated than before.

That high fighting spirit frightened Ye Xuan a little, and he had to wonder in his heart what the emperor had said to them about the Eighth Prince, and why it made the Crown Princess more motivated.

Because he had guesses in his mind, Ye Xuan didn't dare to act rashly, nor did he want to say something specious to disrupt the Crown Princess's decision.

After carefully considering the sentence, Ye Xuan said, "The man that Chen Changli had been tracking down Princess An Qing actually tracked him down to the Royal Manor, where he also met a charming woman. This woman mentioned the Gu worm when she was talking to a little girl."

"So we suspect that Princess An Qing not only used poison on people, but also used Gu worms, and that woman and girl were the ones who controlled the poison and Gu worms."

"Princess An Qing and them either have a master-servant relationship or a cooperative relationship, so when I heard about you and Princess An Qing, I guessed that you would end up with nothing."

Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he said this. As the emperor's confidant, he actually understood some of the emperor's thoughts and knew what he would do to achieve his goals.

It was just that since things had not happened to him in the past, Ye Xuan had hope in the emperor, and he worked diligently to be loyal to the emperor, not daring to slack off.

He offered his loyalty to the emperor, but what he got in return was the emperor's exploitation and ruthlessness.

Ye Xuan was extremely shocked, but then he clearly realized that the emperor had changed a long time ago, and that it was because he was immersed in the past that the emperor targeted his son.

Ye Xuan has only one son, who is of no avail, and he still has no children.

If anything happens to him at the border, Ye Xuan will have no descendants.

The Ye family has been a single-line family for generations. If Ye Xuan died without an heir, how could Ye Xuan face his ancestors? Therefore, Ye Xuan's mind became clearer than ever before, and he truly understood how ruthless the emperor was.

While he was angry at the emperor for making it possible for him to have no descendants, he was also shocked by the emperor's ruthlessness.

He was extremely worried that the emperor would become more and more foolish and would not even bother to keep a fig leaf, and would simply turn against him and eliminate all those who were loyal to him.

For this reason, Ye Xuan had to find a way to leave a way out for himself and his family.

The reason why he chose to cooperate with Chen Changli was because he and the prince were friends. Ye Xuan had been with the prince for some time and naturally thought that the prince was better than other princes, so he was willing to help the prince ascend to the throne.

However, the prince was sent to the Western Border to confront the rebel Tu Yuanzhou head-on. If Ye Xuan wants the prince to become the next emperor, he must find a way to grasp the situation in the Western Border and help the prince repel the rebels.

Ye Xuan really wanted to do his best to help the prince, but he was not good at fighting, so he decided to clear up the matter in Luoyang City first and then make other plans.

No one would have expected that there were so many monsters, gods, ghosts and snakes hiding in Luoyang City. No wonder the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince were able to escape from Luoyang City successfully.

Ye Xuan sometimes thought about these two princes, but when he heard that they were recruiting soldiers and horses outside and didn't care about the lives of the people, he didn't think that these two princes could become wise rulers.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Xuan could only choose the prince and stick to it to avoid getting into trouble.

"Crown Princess, Princess An Qing has already reached a cooperation with the traitor Tu Yuanzhou. Everything she did in Luoyang City was to help Tu Yuanzhou. Therefore, she is not trustworthy, and it is not worth your time to spend on her."

"If you want revenge, or to help the prince, then you have to target His Majesty. Only if His Majesty has something wrong, can you get your revenge, and the prince can return from the Western Territory."
