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

Chapter 1788: False Benevolence

The prince had always felt that something was wrong, but when the word "Queen" was uttered, he suddenly realized.

Wan Shufang and Chen Changli's hearts were also beating wildly.

The couple looked at each other and said to Yan Wutong, "The queen is indeed still alive. She and the emperor have a grandson, but we are not sure where they are hiding. We only know that Huangzhou may be occupied by them."

The prince sneered: "Tu Yuanzhou believes in the treasure so much that he even lets you people with ulterior motives jump out. It shows that the queen has indeed paid some good things, which is why you are flocking to it."

"Don't try to fool me." Yan Wutong's face changed when he heard their confident words.

Wan Shufang sneered, "The Queen is also our enemy. We wish to get rid of her, and we wish everyone in the world knew of her existence. How could we use her to lie?"

Chen Changli looked solemn: "The queen is cruel and ruthless, but she is sincere to the emperor. After the emperor died, she hated us all. This time, she might have contributed to Wen Baicao's actions."

"The Queen is just a woman, what can she accomplish?" Yan Wutong looked down on her.

"Looking down on women will lead to great losses." Wan Shufang said in a sad tone.

The prince suddenly laughed and said, "If you don't believe us, then go ahead and look for it. Let me make it clear in advance that we really know nothing about the treasure, and you won't be able to get any clues from us even if you torture us."

As he spoke, he sat on the ground without any image, his elegant posture seemed to show that he didn't care about life and death.

Yan Wutong stared at him for a long time, making sure that he had no chance of lying. He was so angry that he ordered people to search the entire mountain.

Just at this time, Yanran and Chen Tao came over with their men. As soon as the two sides met, they were about to fight. Chen Tao saw Wan Shufang with his sharp eyes and quickly said, "I'm here to save my parents! Dad and mom, are you okay?"

"Second brother, why are you here?" Wan Shufang was extremely surprised when she heard Chen Tao's voice.

"Stop, don't hurt them." Chen Changli shouted hurriedly and walked towards Chen Tao and the others. "Did Liu Yaoyao return to Yongzhou City?"

Yanran quickly told the story again, and then said: "I can sense that Liu Yaoyao is lying, and I don't believe her, but then I think what she said makes sense, so I came to save you."

As she spoke, she glanced around and soon saw a pile of foul-smelling corpses.

She was so shocked that her pupils shrank slightly and her face turned pale unconsciously: "How are you? Are you in danger?"

"Are you Yanran?" Yan Wutong suddenly came over and looked Yanran up and down.

"Who are you?" His gaze made Yanran feel uncomfortable, and she tensed up unconsciously.

Wan Shufang and Chen Changli walked over to take a look at Yan Wutong, and revealed his identity without any disguise, and then said: "Liu Yaoyao was not favored by him, so she escaped."

"But even if she lied, she told you the truth. Otherwise, how could you find yourself here? So no matter how angry you are, don't take it to heart, lest she get proud."

Wan Shufang's voice was very gentle, and her eyes were slightly red: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Little girl, if it weren't for these three people, you would have been caught by my people long ago." Yan Wutong felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that they ignored her.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tao immediately protected Yanran behind him and said, "We made a mistake in our estimation and didn't bring enough people. But if we fight to the death, we can still rescue them."

His words were full of threats, and it was obvious that he didn't want Yan Wutong to be proud.

Seeing his thoughts, Yan Wutong raised an eyebrow: "You are brave, but unfortunately I am not the prince."

Chen Changli frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said calmly: "My son didn't mean that. You misunderstood."

When Wan Shufang heard this, she looked at Yan Wutong warily. Just as she was about to speak, Yanran suddenly smiled and said, "Where did you come from? Why are you saying such ridiculous things?"

She narrowed her eyes and asked sternly, "Why do you know me? Is there someone of yours around Prince Rong?"

"Liu Yaoyao used to be a member of the New Heaven Society." Yan Wutong smiled coldly, "Let alone me, Tu Yuanzhou is also very concerned about her affairs, so do I know what's wrong with you?"

Yanran was stumped by this sentence and almost didn't know what to say. After a moment, she smiled and said, "I was too nervous. I hope you can forgive me."

After she finished speaking, she pointed at the pile of corpses and asked, "Why are those bugs eating the corpses? What do you want to gain by doing this?"

"I'm just destroying the body." Yan Wutong explained kindly, but his eyes were so deep that Yanran's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

"I don't believe it." Yanran's face turned red, she was angry.

Wan Shufang noticed that she was in a bad mood, and immediately held her hand, asking with concern: "Is there anything wrong with him doing this?"

Yanran's eyes immediately turned red: "Chang Xuewei and Liu Yaoyao once used the corpses of the Gu people to do this kind of thing."

When she saw the tragic state of these corpses, she felt that the images that she had deliberately forgotten in her mind were rushing towards her like a nightmare, making her want to take out a knife and stab Yan Wutong fiercely.

"So that's what's going on." After hearing Yanran's words, Wan Shufang instantly understood what was bothering her and wanted to reach out and hold her in her arms to comfort her.

Yan Wutong said with a cold face: "Why did those people die? Don't you know? Why are you crying like this now? The culprit Chang Xuewei has been killed by the prince, you should feel..."

"Do you feel proud of bullying a little girl?" The prince looked at him with disapproval.

The same was true for Chen Changli. When the two of them looked over, Yan Wutong felt threatened and his heart started beating wildly.

After a moment he shook his head and said, "I'm just reminding this little girl."

"There's no need for you to be hypocritical." Yanran's face was filled with anger when she heard this.

Chen Changli saw this and felt mixed emotions, then asked: "What do you want to do? If you want the treasure, you should convince us to help you search the mountain, instead of humiliating the dead in this way."

"We need a special kind of poisonous insect to explore the location of the treasure." Yan Wutong did not hide anything this time and stated his plan straightforwardly.

"What kind of treasure would require a poisonous insect like this? Do you think I'm a fool?" Yanran felt that he was lying and her face turned blue with anger.

Wan Shufang quickly hugged her and patted her shoulder, "He might have been deceived."

When Yanran heard this, she was surprised: "You actually spoke for him."

"This matter may be more complicated than you think." Wan Shufang didn't know how to explain. After all, the matter might involve the Queen's calculations.

Chen Changli said in a gentle voice: "Miss Yanran, if he wants the treasure, let him go find it. We just need to wait for the result."

"Just wait here." Yan Wutong waved his sleeves and left. After a while, he started to take out the poisonous insects from the pile of corpses.
