Qin Shang also found it quite strange when he learned that King Heng's impotence was related to Lin Zan.

Finally, they returned to the palace. The dean didn't dare to ask Lin Zan, but Qin Shang couldn't suppress his curiosity and came to Hanfang Pavilion.

Knowing that his senior brother had come, Lin Zhan offered him some fragrant tea, and then said with his usual smile, "Senior brother, why did you have time to come to my place today?"

"You know that Prince Heng was poisoned, right?" Qin Shang said straight to the point, observing Lin Zan's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment, then he rolled his eyes mischievously before saying, "Ah, King Heng was poisoned, how could he be poisoned? Could it be that the rumors about him being impotent are because he was poisoned?"

Looking at Lin Zhan's cautious appearance, Qin Shang felt a little uncomfortable. After all, his master only accepted him and Lin Zhan as his disciples.

Therefore, Qin Shang has always been very fond of his junior sister Lin Zan, but ever since the smallpox incident, the relationship between the junior sister and the master has become subtle and distant.

This made Qin Shang, who was caught in the middle, feel very uncomfortable, so he said to Lin Zan earnestly, "When Master was checking Prince Heng's pulse, he noticed something strange in his body, and he also recognized that it was your method of poisoning."

Hearing him say this, Lin Zhan snorted and said nonchalantly, "Who can prove that I was the one who poisoned him? I have never been to Prince Heng's mansion, how could I have poisoned him?"

"Junior sister, okay, I don't know about the awkwardness between you and Master, but don't worry, Master didn't tell anyone that you poisoned him. I'm just a little curious, how did you poison him?"

Qin Shang asked Lin Zan while drinking tea.

Lin Zhan was not disgusted by his honest and straightforward senior brother, so he smiled and said, "When the two are combined, they become poison."

After the words fell, Qin Shang's expression was stunned, and he instantly understood the meaning of Lin Zhan's words, and then said with emotion. "It seems that I, as a senior brother, am the last one to understand, but junior sister, you don't have a close relationship with King Heng."

"How do you know what kind of food King Heng likes to eat and how can you prescribe the right poison for him?" Qin Shang continued to ask curiously.

This question stumped Lin Zhan. After all, Lin Zhan had liked King Heng very much in the past, so he knew all his preferences very well.

As for what kind of food King Heng likes to eat, Lin Zhan knows it all. In the book, she even cooked these things herself in order to please King Heng.

Therefore, how could Lin Zan, who had read the original novel, not know about this? However, she didn't know how to describe these things to Qin Shang.

Seeing that Lin Zan didn't answer for a long time, Qin Shang didn't continue to ask. "Forget it, forget it, Senior Brother believes that you know what you are doing."

After saying this, Qin Shang patted Lin Zhan's shoulder affectionately and left.

This made Lin Zhan feel relieved, but in the blink of an eye he felt a headache again, after all, Wang Lanye's father was still in prison.

Lin Zan decided to ask Jun Beiqi for help, but he didn't expect that Jun Beiqi was also gathering ministers in the court at this moment, wanting to get Shangshu Wang out of prison.

"Wow, Prince, we two really have such a tacit understanding. How do you know that I also want to rescue Minister Wang from prison?" Lin Zan said happily as he looked at the memorial signed by hundreds of officials in Jun Beiqi's hand.

Jun Beiqi raised his hand, but then felt something was wrong, so he put it down, put it behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance, so don't get involved."

"No, no matter what, it's my fault that Minister Wang was thrown into jail. How can I just stand by and do nothing?" Lin Zhan gritted his teeth and shook his head.

Jun Beiqi looked at her and continued, "If you really want to do something, go and comfort your good friend."

After saying this, Jun Beiqi went into the palace with the memorial signed jointly by all officials.

Lin Zan nodded and came to Wang's house, where he saw Wang Lanye, who was pale and crying.

"Sister Lin, why is my life so miserable?" Wang Lanye's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked emaciated.

Lin Zhan felt very distressed, and quickly said to comfort her. "Sister Wang, don't worry, I will definitely rescue your father. I will ask the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Emperor. Anyway, I will ask anyone I can."

Hearing her words, Wang Lanye was extremely grateful and held her hand tightly. "I feel relieved when you say this, sister."

Jun Beiqi brought the memorial signed by hundreds of officials to the imperial study and presented it. When the emperor saw his memorial, his face turned ashen and he threw the memorial to the ground.

All the palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial study were kneeling on the ground, but Jun Beiqi remained motionless.

"Even you, the Crown Prince, have to plead for the man who despised the royal family. If everyone disobeys my orders in the future, do I have to let them go just because I have some hidden secrets?" The Emperor was very angry about this.

Jun Beiqi knelt there and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Father, please calm down. Please spare his life for the sake of Minister Wang's love for his children."

"Are you going to disobey me too?" The emperor threw the brush in his hand heavily towards Jun Beiqi.

The cinnabar on the brush left a blood-red mark on Jun Beiqi's clothes.

"Father." Jun Beiqi wanted to say something, but the emperor was no longer willing to listen.

Even the eunuchs beside him were persuading Jun Beiqi to leave first. "Your Highness, please leave first."

Under such circumstances, Jun Beiqi knew that the emperor's mind could not be changed, so he could only withdraw.

After learning that the prince's rescue attempt had failed, Lin Zan became even more anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

Over the years, Lin Zan and Jun Beiqi had made many arrangements in private, which allowed Jun Beiqi to gradually gain the recognition and reuse of the emperor.

Lin Zhan would feel unwilling if his plan failed because of this incident.

"There is another way. If we can get Concubine Qin and Prince Heng to give up the engagement on their own initiative, then the emperor will probably not say anything." Liu Qiuchan said, thinking of another idea.

Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment, frowning. "But the Wang family's power in the court is also deeply rooted. Since the Qin family fell, how could Concubine Qin give up this opportunity to win over the Wang family?"

"Unless there is a target who is more worthy of winning over than the Wang family, and can bring greater benefits to the Qin family than the Wang family."

When Lin Zan said this, his eyes gradually lit up, and then he remembered something.
