Just as the situation was about to become tense, the people behind the Third Prince hurried forward.
"Third Prince, since we can't find Artemisia annua right now, let's just wait a little longer. Master Wanshan has come down the mountain specifically to help us, so we can't do this!"
The words of his subordinates made the Third Prince wake up instantly, but as a member of the royal family, he could never stand Wan Yuanzong's behavior.
"Master Wanshan, you must remember this: if one more civilian dies now, it will be blamed on your Wan family."
After the third prince finished speaking, he left angrily. Although Wan Yuanzong was worried about the people, he cared more about his daughter.
On his way back, seeing the people suffering from illness and the cries of their loved ones beside them irritated Wan Yuanzong's heart.
After returning to the room where he was resting temporarily, he couldn't help but doubt himself.
"Did I really do something wrong? Even if the royal family wronged me, the people are innocent after all. They shouldn't be implicated like this."
Wan Yuanzong subconsciously said this to the people around him, but his brother Wan Yuanye heard it in his heart.
"Brother, what you said is wrong. These people are also citizens of Yaoguang Country. Their emperor hurt his niece, so he should pay the price."
Wan Yuanzong didn't expect him to appear here and couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Yuanye, why are you here?"
Wan Yuanye changed his previous dissolute appearance, walked forward and saluted properly, looking like he was worried about his elder brother.
"I just feel bad for my eldest brother. He has worked so hard for the people of their royal family, but in the end, they refuse to tell even a word of truth."
When he said this, Wan Yuanye's face showed a trace of sadness, and his words were very moving.
"What's more, my niece is now missing, and we haven't even found her body. If they were willing to tell the truth, they could at least let her be buried in the ancestral tomb. How can they deceive me like this now? Big brother, please don't let them deceive you again."
Wan Yuanzong was also very melancholy. On the one hand, he believed that even if these people were from Yaoguang Kingdom, they were innocent. After all, it was the royal family who made the mistake, and they should not suffer.
On the other hand, as a father, he didn't know how to vent the hatred in his heart.
Wan Yuanye did not force his elder brother. He knew very well what kind of position Wan Yan held in Wan Yuanzong's heart, so he was not in a hurry.
After coming out of Wan Yuanzong's room, Wan Yuanye went straight to Wen Xiuting's residence.
"Master Wen, I'm already doing what you said, but what about your promise? Why hasn't Wan Yan's head been handed to me yet?"
Wen Xiuting became a little annoyed when he talked about this matter. Who would have thought that the seemingly incompetent Second Prince could actually lead Wan Yan out of the siege.
"You don't have to worry about that. Wan Yan won't return to Wanhe Mountain alive. Since I promised to deliver Wanhe Mountain to you later, I will never break my promise."
Wan Yuanye closed the folding fan in his hand with a "clatter".
"I hope so!"
This conversation between the two people fell into Qin Xuezhen's eyes and was soon known to the third prince.
"When I first met him, I felt he had ulterior motives, and it turned out to be true!"
Seeing that the Third Prince was angry, the people around him did not dare to move forward. In the end, it was his close personal who reminded him.
"Your Highness, why don't we send someone to pick up the Second Prince and Miss Wanyan now? This way, the people will suffer less!"
The Third Prince sighed deeply, raised his hand and waved it lightly, and the people below immediately took action.
At this time, the Second Prince and Wan Yan were not far from the disaster area.
"Second Prince, do we still have two days to travel to the disaster area and see my father?"
Wan Yan's injuries have not healed yet. During this period, they have encountered pursuers one after another, which has made her exhausted.
The Second Prince looked at her with some heartache. Normally, the people he met were either royal ladies or daughters of famous families. A woman like her who had suffered so much but remained silent was particularly novel to him.
"Miss Wanyan, how about we find a place to rest for two days?"
Wan Yan subconsciously shook her head when she heard what he said. She had heard about it some time ago.
Her father has been used by evil people, and now the medicinal materials for treating the plague have been withheld. She must see her father as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause a disaster and the Wan family will be in danger!
"No need to rest, I'm fine, let's hurry on."
Having said that, their pace did slow down, and the Second Prince took extra care of Wan Yan along the way.
Finally, when they were only one day away from the disaster area, the people sent by the third prince arrived safely.
Under the escort of these people, the Second Prince and Wan Yan set out overnight and rushed to the disaster area as quickly as possible.
But when they arrived at the disaster area, they encountered a group of people chasing them.
This group of people is obviously larger in number and stronger than the previous ones.
When the second prince saw them, he immediately stood in front of Wan Yan.
"Miss Wan, if a fight breaks out, you should rush to the disaster area first. Saving the people is more important."
Wan Yan was shocked and didn't care about the differences between men and women. She grabbed the second prince's wrist.
"No, if I leave, what will you do?"
"Don't worry about us. Don't forget that the people in the disaster area are still waiting for your Wan family's medicine! And all your disciples of Wanhe Mountain are waiting for your medicine."
After hearing this, Wan Yan said no more. She knew that the fundamental purpose of the Second Prince's trip was for the people, so if anything happened, she had to survive no matter what.
When the enemy rushed up, the second prince took the lead and fought with them with his guards.
Wan Yan did not linger in the fight and found a small path to escape. She had to rush to the disaster area as soon as possible and find someone to rescue the second prince.
After a night of arduous journey, Wan Yan finally found the third prince with an exhausted body.
Wan Yan was in a dishevel at this time, with blood stains on her dress, but Yaoguang Jing was nowhere to be seen.
"Are you Miss Wan?"
Wen Yan was standing in the hall, trembling with fear. After hearing this, she turned around and saw a handsome man in disheveled clothes coming up to her.
Looking closely at his face, he is quite similar to the Second Prince.
"May I ask if you are the Third Prince?"
"This is the king!"
Wan Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground, and performed a martial arts etiquette.
"I, Wanyan, greet His Royal Highness the Third Prince. I beg you to send someone to rescue the Second Prince as soon as possible!"
