The third prince only hoped that his second brother would work harder to find the woman as soon as possible and bring her here.

Unexpectedly, during this gap, Wen Xiuting actually approached Wan Yuanzong in private.

"I wonder why the son of the Prime Minister is waiting for me at my residence? Is there something important you want to discuss?" Wan Yuanzong nodded politely, but the natural arrogance of a man who had practiced martial arts for many years gave people a sense of oppression.

Wen Xiuting was a man of deep thoughts, ignoring this oppressive feeling.

He pretended to sigh deeply, "I heard that Master Wanshan lost his daughter some time ago. Is this true?"

When he heard that it was related to his daughter, Wan Yuanzong ignored the etiquette and stepped forward, grabbed the other person's wrist and asked.

"You know my daughter Wan Yan? Do you know if she is safe now? And where is she?"

Wen Xiuting hesitated and sighed repeatedly, which frightened Wan Yuanzong, and he became anxious and irritable.

"Master Wen, please don't sigh! What happened to my daughter?"

Seeing that the other party was anxious, Wen Xiuting pretended to be forced and said, "I have indeed seen a young lady named Wan, but I don't know if she is your daughter."

Although he didn't know the other person's name or appearance, Wan Yuanzong had already determined that she was his daughter.

"Great! Is she seriously injured? Where is she now?"

Having said this, Wen Xiuting suddenly stopped talking again. Wan Yuanzong was so anxious that he almost wanted to demolish the house.

"Master Wen, please tell me quickly. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Wen Xiuting looked like he had just made a major decision. He finally spoke, "At this point, I can no longer care about anything else. Seeing you, a kind father, so worried, I simply can't hide it any longer. I'm afraid your daughter has been sent to a brothel!"

"Right now, I don't know whether your daughter is dead or alive, and I have no way of knowing. The boss behind that whore is a very powerful person in the court, and he might even be a prince."

As a father, Wan Yuanzong felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard such words.

And when I heard him say that there was a very likely prince behind that brothel.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the third prince had a strange expression on his face some time ago and asked him about his daughter's voice and smile.

At that time, he thought that the Third Prince wanted to help him find his daughter, but now it seems that he wants to confirm whether it was his people who captured his child?

Wan Yuanzong seemed to have all his strength drained away. He took a few steps back and fell heavily into the chair.

"Master Wanshan, please take care of yourself!"

Wan Yuanzong tried hard to accept this, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe that wasn't his daughter at all?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly found the portrait of his daughter.

"Master Wen, take a look. Is this the girl you saw?"

At this moment, no matter what the girl looked like, Wen Xiuting would of course say yes, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded heavily with a painful look.

"Master Wanshan, I was lucky enough to see your daughter. It was an accidental discovery when I was selecting Lady Baihua some time ago."

"At that time, a fire broke out on Baihua Street, and your daughter, skilled in martial arts, happened to escape from the brothel. That's how I had the honor of meeting her."

"It's just that I don't have any status in the court. Although I may be the emperor's uncle, the princes are not born by the queen after all, and I..."

Sometimes, not saying anything can lead to endless speculation.

There was indeed a sudden fire on Baihua Street, but he had not seen Wanyan. Sometimes a half-truthful statement can actually make people more credible.

At this moment, Wan Yuanzong fell into this trap. After a wail, he knelt on the ground in pain.

"Yan'er! Your father is truly sorry for you. You were harmed by others, and your father is siding with the enemy!"

When he said this, Wan Yuanzong stood up and was about to rush out to avenge his daughter, but was stopped by Wen Xiuting.

"Master Wanshan, what are you going to do? Do you want to harm the Third Prince? Don't forget, he is a member of the royal family. If he dies here, will all your disciples be gone?"

This sentence instantly calmed Wan Yuanzong down. As the master of Wanhe Mountain, he absolutely could not implicate everyone because of his own selfishness.

"Master Wanshan, if you really want revenge, I can help you, but the prerequisite is that you must calm down first!"

Wan Yuanzong was completely blinded by hatred at this moment, and he believed whatever the other party said.

"I can help you, but why should you help me get revenge? You are a royal relative."

"Your sister is the current empress. No matter which prince ascends the throne, you will be rich and powerful. Do you dare to risk the wrath of the world for a mere scoundrel like me?"

When he said this, Wen Xiuting couldn't help but sigh again.

"Master Wanshan, do you know that being a royal relative isn't easy? I'm clearly a learned scholar, yet I dare not serve in the imperial court. Why do you think it is because my father is the prime minister? The influence of the imperial relatives is too great, and the emperor is suspicious of them, which is why I've wasted half my life."

"In recent years, the Emperor has favored the Imperial Concubine and disliked my eldest sister. As the mother of the Duke of Zhong, I can't even say a word in the palace. As her younger brother, how can I swallow this?"

"Besides, those three princes are all incompetent and unjust. They put on a good front, but in reality, they are lavishly exploiting the people's wealth."

"The Third Prince's uncle was selling fake medicine a while ago, killing countless people. The imperial court spent a lot of effort to suppress this matter, completely disregarding the lives of the people!"

After hearing these words, Wan Yuanzong completely believed him and asked, "What does Master Wen want me to do?"

"It's simple. All you need to do is drastically reduce the amount of Artemisia annua. As for Artemisia vera, also stockpile a large amount. Don't give it all to the Third Prince."

After hearing this, Wan Yuanzong suddenly felt a little bit sorry. If there was no medicine, those people would all be doomed.

"Master Wen's actions will kill those people. They are innocent!"

"Master Wanshan, don't worry. This disease won't kill anyone in a short time. You just need to stock up on the herbs. The Third Prince's disaster relief efforts are just for the sake of fame."

"When he can't produce the medicine, I will pretend to have found these two herbs from somewhere else and use them to treat the people. This way, the people will be safe and the Third Prince will not be able to succeed."

Wan Yuanzong thought about it for a while and finally nodded in agreement. However, he was still worried about the people. He asked several times before and confirmed again and again that no one would die if they stopped taking the medicine for a short period of time.

So a few days later, Wan Yuanzong hurriedly found the third prince and said that the medicinal herbs in his mountain had been completely exhausted.
