Chapter 1565 Don't Fall into the Trap
"You are right, but we should not be too vigilant, otherwise we will alert the enemy."
Chen Changli only wanted to test Mrs. Shang's confidence today, but he didn't expect to infer so much of Mrs. Shang's past. The most interesting thing was that Mrs. Shang didn't know whether she was tongue-tied or had other thoughts, but she didn't refute much.
Therefore, Chen Changli had already guessed in his mind that Old Lady Shang had other plans and hidden cards, and he was unwilling to think about it too much at this moment, so as not to let Ye Yun speculate.
"And Ye Yun's attitude is also worth pondering. Unfortunately, Chang Xuewei is a huge hidden danger. When she is hiding in the dark, we can't make things too awkward with the Eighth Prince and Ye Yun."
No matter how much Ye Yun guessed, Liu Ying, as a member of the Gu clan, must have a special position in his heart.
Liu Ying's death was so absurd now, and Ye Yun must have a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Perhaps Old Lady Shang guessed this and fainted from anger, but it cannot be ruled out that she was pretending.
Chen Changli believed that there was still room for trouble regarding Liu Ying's matter, because Liu Ying was a remnant of the previous dynasty. Even if she had a huge conflict with her family, she still had some useful people under her command.
"Shufang, since Old Lady Shang failed to remove the Phoenix Gu this time, I'm afraid she might have some thoughts in her mind."
"Next time we interact with her, we must not only be alert, but also be careful and cautious so as not to fall into her trap."
"But Old Lady Shang is hostile to us. No matter how careful we are, we will not let her off the hook. So we should strike when the time is right and not let her get away with it."
As Chen Changli said this, he held Wan Shufang tightly.
Feeling the warmth from her palm, Chen Changli's uneasiness was slightly relieved.
Wan Shufang understood his idea and immediately put away her thoughts and said, "I know what to do. Relax. If Old Lady Shang has any plans, I will make her regret it for the rest of her life."
Chen Changli knew Wan Shufang's personality. When he heard her say this, he knew that she already had many ideas in her mind, and the results would be revealed later.
His thoughts turned, and he said no more, holding Wan Shufang's hand and going back.
Jiang Xuan was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Ye Yun did not allow him to observe the situation and even sent someone to watch over him.
Faced with the people stationed outside, Jiang Xuan had no idea what to do and could only walk around in the yard.
Seeing the time passing by bit by bit, he became anxious.
When he began to have the idea of giving it a try, the appearance of Chen Changli and his wife made him cry with joy.
"Has the Phoenix Gu been taken out? I am almost dying of anxiety as the day is almost over."
Jiang Xuan's concise words revealed his excitement, but his eyes looked up and down at the couple, and then his gaze fell on Chen Changli.
Seeing that his face was as pale as ever, but there were no wounds on his body, a trace of suspicion flashed across Jiang Xuan's eyes.
"How did this old lady Shang take out the Phoenix Gu? Why doesn't Chen Changli have any injuries on his body?"
Wan Shufang explained the matter and sighed slightly, "Old Lady Shang's research on Gu techniques is extraordinary, but there were unexpected incidents during the manufacturing process of Phoenix Gu, which naturally led to her miscalculation of the Phoenix Gu."
"It's a good thing that happened, otherwise my husband and I wouldn't have survived today."
Wan Shufang's face was full of melancholy. What happened to Old Lady Shang was terrifying.
She increasingly suspected that Old Lady Shang was obsessed with the Phoenix Gu because she wanted to pursue immortality.
She didn't admit it, probably because she realized the dangers of Phoenix Gu were terrible and she couldn't control it.
"I never thought that Old Lady Shang and Phoenix Gu had such a connection. This person is really good at hiding things." Jiang Xuan gasped in shock when he heard the truth.
Chen Changli said: "Since ancient times, powerful people have wanted to live longer, and immortality is more tempting than longevity. No one can resist its charm."
"This Phoenix Gu is related to immortality. As a member of the Gu Clan, Old Lady Shang has a very high talent. How could she not be interested?"
"I think the Gu tribe drove her out because they found out what she had done and were afraid that she would be implicated, so they were cruel to her."
"Old Lady Shang is not very kind-hearted. She might have a grudge against the Gu Clan and leaked the secret recipe of the Phoenix Gu to cause trouble for the Gu Clan."
There was a pause when he spoke. Chen Changli thought carefully for a few breaths and then continued.
"She definitely didn't expect that there was someone like Chang Xuewei secretly eyeing the Gu tribe, which led to the destruction of the Gu tribe, so her desire for revenge is real."
"Of course this is just my guess. It does not rule out the possibility that Old Lady Shang really knows nothing."
"How is this possible?" Jiang Xuan quickly shook his head. "She is a Gu Master who has lived for decades and has such a relationship with the Gu Clan. Her husband is from a family of imperial physicians."
"She may not know much about the world's major events, but what kind of activities does this Gu Master have in secret, and who is plotting against these Gu people? How could she be completely ignorant of this?"
"I think she was just hoping for the best, and hoping that the Phoenix Gu would really have the miraculous effect of making her immortal, so she didn't think that the Gu tribe's demise was her fault."
Jiang Xuan said this in one breath, and without knowing what he was thinking about, he immediately sneered a few times.
"This arrogant and self-righteous person is very happy to block out things that are related to herself."
"That's probably what Old Lady Shang did. Liu Ying died because she knew about this matter and it threatened her, so she took such a ruthless action."
"She is pretending to be unconscious now. You and your wife should not fall into her trap."
Wan Shufang agreed with this, and then emphasized, "Whether she has such a plan or not, we have to be on guard against her based on the information that Phoenix Gu is related to her."
Jiang Xuan nodded: "That's right. By the way, did Ye Yun say anything after she fainted? We can't just stay here and let Old Lady Shang find a new way to get the Phoenix Gu."
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes. Both of them felt heavy in their hearts.
"Take a day's rest first. I'll go find out the situation after tomorrow." Chen Changli was the first to break the silence.
When Wan Shufang heard this, she was stunned.
She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but she was hesitant and swallowed her words back.
Chen Changli noticed the change in her expression and knew what she was thinking. He gently squeezed her palm and said in a gentle voice, "I won't take any risks. I just want to meet Wen Baicao."
Wan Shufang thought of Wen Baicao's words that were directed at Old Lady Shang, and she had a guess in her mind, and immediately said, "I'm afraid Wen Baicao's heart is leaning towards the Ninth Prince."
Her words made Jiang Xuan look sideways, but Chen Changli thought about it and shook his head: "Not necessarily, after all, Wen Baicao deeply hates the Dajing royal family."
Wan Shufang thought about it for a while and agreed: "You are right. The Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince do not get along. The Eighth Prince and the Sixth Prince appear to be cooperating, but in reality, this cooperation is like mist that will be blown away."
"Seeing the three princes fighting each other, Wen Baicao will only continue to fan the flames and make them both lose. How could she really join one prince? I wonder if these princes have guessed this."
