Chapter 1792 People are selfish
Chen Changli concealed his feelings and said sensibly: "I know you don't believe this, but it is true."
Yan Wutong's brows were tightly knitted together, and his forehead was covered with a layer of fine cold sweat, as if he was struggling between inner and outer struggles.
The prince looked at him carefully and saw that his forehead was covered with sweat. He was somewhat suspicious, but he said calmly, "Wen Baicao is scheming and will only help Tu Yuanzhou. It is impossible for others to use him to hurt Tu Yuanzhou."
"So this so-called treasure is most likely a false illusion deliberately created by Tu Yuanzhou and Wen Baicao in order to cleanse the people around them and set a trap for Quanrong Hehe."
"If people have other plans, they will definitely take action, and the treasure is very eye-catching. Everyone wants to take it all, so they will kill each other."
The prince had made it very clear, and Yan Wutong had no way of ignoring it.
"I was wondering why those people appeared on the next mountain. It turns out that I was tricked from the beginning. I was so complacent. If Tu Yuanzhou knew what I was thinking, I'm afraid he would laugh at me in front of others."
When Yan Wutong thought of that scene, his eyes were filled with pain and resentment.
He had done enough dirty things for Wen Baicao and his son, and he finally got his own identity and was able to replace the Sixth Prince. Why did these people still want to plot against him?
Does he look that stupid? Yan Wutong was so angry that he almost had the illusion of vomiting blood.
The prince looked at him for a long time, patted his shoulder sympathetically, and said earnestly: "It's not too late to know this now."
Wan Shufang nodded immediately: "It would be terrible if you only realized you were being used after a life-and-death fight with someone."
These words comforted Yan Wutong very well, and he immediately cheered up and asked, "What should we do?"
He obviously had no idea, because Tu Yuanzhou had been hanging over his head like a shadow for decades.
Although he had other ideas and was prepared to take action, his fear of Tu Yuanzhou mixed with jealousy made it impossible for him to think rationally.
Chen Changli saw through his state at a glance and immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, we can fight back after a little discussion."
Yanran stroked her chin and thought for a while before saying, "Let's use poison. I happen to have quite a bit of poison in my hand. Combined with the poisonous insect in your hand, those people will definitely die without a burial place."
Yan Wutong agreed immediately and then asked someone to cooperate. Seeing that the prince had no objection, Wan Shufang decided to help after thinking about it.
Chen Changli's expression slightly moved, and he was about to stop it, but the prince said: "When you need to be cruel, you should be cruel, and don't have a kind heart."
Chen Changli heard this and said solemnly, "I know this truth, but I'm worried that Shufang won't understand it."
"What kind of temper does Wan Shufang have in your mind?" Upon hearing this, the prince's expression relaxed.
"She is a kind-hearted doctor." Chen Changli already had an idea in his mind when he heard it, and a look of shame appeared on his face.
"She is indeed like that, but I think she has a decisive side, and is extremely intelligent and opinionated, so she knows better than you what should and should not be decided." The prince said meaningfully, "You should sometimes listen to her feelings, and don't think of her as being weak and want to protect her behind your back."
The prince said this earnestly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He looked quite melancholy: "Wan Shufang is smart and good at making decisions. It is really a blessing from God that you can get to know her."
When Chen Changli heard this, he immediately realized that he was thinking of the Crown Princess.
Chen Changli had a bad feeling as he hadn't heard any news about the Crown Princess for nearly half a year.
He believed that the prince felt the same way and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.
He could only change the subject: "Your Highness, have you thought about it?"
The prince nodded and said, "In the past, when I saw the people living in hardship, I gave up on myself and tried to persuade others to think about this matter like I did, so that only virtuous people can become wise rulers."
"But it's not that easy to be a wise ruler. Besides, those who are fighting for the throne are all from aristocratic families. Occasionally, a few ordinary people revolt, but they are suppressed and have no impact."
"From what I know, the interests of the aristocratic families are intertwined with each other in a shocking way. So if they conquer the world, they will just be repeating the past and present dynasties."
The prince paused when he said this, then looked up at Chen Changli.
After reading for a long time, he continued: "Although I am not talented, after experiencing so many things, I understand the suffering of the people and can care for them."
"But people are selfish, and I am no exception, so you and Wan Shufang can't have high hopes for me. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
The prince is self-aware. The most important thing is that he is the emperor's son. When he reaches the top and faces the corruption that power brings, he doesn't think he can resist it.
"Your Highness, please do not underestimate yourself." Hearing the Crown Prince's deep meaning, Chen Changli expressed his opinion, "During the years we spent together at the border, I can't say that I know you well, but I think you are a good person. I will never meet someone like you again in the future."
"So no matter how other princes offered me olive branches, I was unwilling to accept them. After going through many things, I realized more and more how precious you are."
Having said this in a serious tone, Chen Changli stared at the prince with burning eyes, and suddenly smiled, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"To be honest, if you don't seize the world, I will choose to live in seclusion in the mountains with my family and not ask about what's happening outside."
"Even if the world is stable in the future, I will never come out."
The prince felt extremely complicated when he heard this, but he said calmly, "I will try my best not to let you down."
Chen Changli's eyes were slightly sad: "If possible, I sincerely hope that a great talent will appear, so that you and I don't have to carry the burden forward."
He didn't want the prince to make this decision because of him. He just wanted the prince to be as happy as before.
The prince snorted unhappily, "I have already made up my mind. What do you mean by saying this now? Do you want me to change my mind again?"
"That's not what I meant." Chen Changli quickly shook his head, and then the two looked at each other and smiled at each other.
The prince felt much better after talking with Chen Changli.
He immediately went to find Yan Wutong to arrange some things with him, while Chen Changli went to help Wan Shufang.
With the joint efforts of several people, they quickly prepared the poison that Yan Wutong needed. Then Wan Shufang and Yanran set a trap nearby.
As they were hastily preparing the trap, the Quanrong people rushed over.
When the two sides met, they did not fight, but were wary of each other. After a while, someone asked, "Has anyone seen Zhao Jing?"
"Where are you from?" Hearing the man's question, Yan Wutong's face changed slightly, and then he walked out wearing a cloak.
