Seeing that the two were silent, Lin Zhan continued, "And the poison in your body can only be cured by finding the person who poisoned you."
"Do you mean that we should go back to Beijing?" Murong Hui narrowed his eyes and said pointedly.
Lin Zhan nodded, and Jun Beiqi, who was sitting beside him with a pale face, also said seriously, "In this case, let's leave without delay."
"Sister, please cover our whereabouts in the palace. We must keep a low profile when we go to Beijing this time." Lin Zan said with caution.
The two men nodded at the same time. Besides, they were very weak and couldn't do anything.
Several people quickly returned to Shangjing. In order to hide their whereabouts, they came to the Prince's Mansion. The mansion was full of Jun Beiqi's secret guards and was relatively safe.
Just as Lin Zhan guessed, the previous prescription could indeed temporarily relieve the pain of the two people, but it could not cure the poison in their bodies.
Among them, Murong Hui was the most seriously poisoned and suffered from bone-eating pain all the time. Lin Zan had to use the golden needle technique to temporarily suppress the pain in his body.
"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find out where Jun Beiyu hid the Ghost Mother?" Murong Hui said, gritting his teeth.
In Prince Heng's mansion, Jun Beiyu was holding a piece of gold in his hand, his eyes full of greed, but he quickly returned to normal and spoke to the person in front of him.
"I'll give you three days. I want to see twenty boxes of gold appear in front of me." Jun Beiyu said directly.
The man standing in front of him was stunned for a moment, his sharp-nosed and monkey-faced appearance made him look very shrewd. "Your Highness, three days is a bit short, and if we recruit people to dig for gold in the local area with great fanfare, it will arouse suspicion from others."
"This is your business, not mine. If you can't do it well, then I don't have to keep you." Jun Beiyu snorted coldly and threw the gold in his hand into the man's arms.
The man was stunned for a moment, then he immediately gritted his teeth, nodded in agreement, and was then taken out of the palace by the secret guards.
At this moment, a regular knocking sound was heard behind Jun Beiyu. His face turned cold, he stood up, opened the mechanism, and walked to the dark room below.
Princess Yingduo immediately rushed up and said to Jun Beiyu, "I want to go out. I can't stand it anymore."
"Princess, please be patient. How about I have someone disguise you and take you out for some fresh air?" It was somewhat surprising that Jun Beiyu, who had been very strict with the two of them in the past, suddenly relaxed.
Even Princess Yingduo was a little surprised, and looked at Jun Beiyu in astonishment and said, "You are telling the truth."
"Of course." Jun Beiyu smiled gently, and then asked someone to take Princess Yingduo out.
Soon, only Guimu and Jun Beiyu were left in the dark room.
"How are those people under control?" Jun Beiyu sat down leisurely beside him and said to the ghost mother.
The ghost mother replied as if she was not surprised. "Except for one person, the others have become my puppets."
"Oh, who has such a strong will." Jun Beiyu seemed to be very clear about the ghost mother's methods of controlling people, so he said with surprise.
The ghost mother didn't say much, but walked to a wall and pushed it gently. A stone door appeared, and the two of them walked in together.
Behind the stone gate was another cave, and many people were imprisoned inside. On the central platform, there was a man with disheveled hair, wearing a bright red outfit, and chained there.
"This is the man. He seems to be a person of relatively high status in Baitong Pavilion. He has a very strong character and never bows his head." The Ghost Mother looked at the man and said, her eyes flashing with a strange light.
When the man raised his head, a beautiful face was revealed. He smiled softly and then said to Jun Beiyu.
"It turns out that it was His Royal Highness Prince Heng who was rumored to be the most easy-going and people-loving. As expected, the rumors were the most unbelievable. The prince actually colluded with the people of Xijiang and used this despicable insect poison technique to make puppets."
This person was Linglong who was captured after being poisoned. At this moment, the tendons and veins in his body seemed to be alive and were wriggling strangely.
Every movement brought great pain to Linglong, but even though his face was distorted, he did not surrender and become the ghost mother's puppet.
Looking at Linglong who was stubborn, Jun Beiyu knew that he would not surrender easily, and then waved his hand indifferently and said to the ghost mother, "Since you can't be used by me, then kill you."
After saying that, Jun Beiyu turned and left. The ghost mother was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said yes.
The guards in Prince Heng's Mansion were also very strict, and after the last battle, Baitong Pavilion suffered heavy losses and even Linglong was captured. For a while, the people in Baitong Pavilion were unable to infiltrate Prince Heng's Mansion.
This made Lin Zan feel very anxious. After all, the longer Jun Beiqi and Murong Hui were poisoned, the harder it would be to cure the poison.
At this critical moment, Wang Lanye's invitation was delivered to the palace, wanting to invite Lin Zan to Prince Heng's mansion to appreciate the chrysanthemums and cook wine.
This was truly a timely help. After receiving the news from Liu Qiuchan, Lin Zan immediately brought Langya and several masters from Baitong Pavilion into Prince Heng's Palace.
However, in order not to arouse other people's suspicion, Lin Zhan only brought three people besides Langya.
Today, Prince Heng's palace is wide open to welcome distinguished guests, and there are many people in the palace, which is a good time for investigation.
Young ladies and ladies from all families gathered in the garden of Prince Heng's mansion, chatting and laughing freely, appreciating chrysanthemums and tasting wine, feeling very comfortable.
Only Lin Zan secretly winked at the people behind him, and those people quickly dispersed.
"Sister Lin, you are here. I heard that you were praying for the Queen in Taoyuan Temple. I thought you had not returned to Beijing yet." When Wang Lanye saw Lin Zan, she hurriedly came up to her warmly and said with a smile.
Lin Zhan's face softened and he replied with a smile, "It was the Queen who informed me. Sister Wang invited me, so how could I not come?"
These words made Wang Lanye's eyes full of gratitude. She naturally knew that Lin Zan said this on purpose. After all, she was a favorite of the Queen. Her coming also represented that the Queen valued her.
As expected, those ladies who had looked down on Wang Lanye at the wedding ceremony changed their attitudes after hearing what Lin Zan said.
Wang Lanye affectionately took Lin Zhan's hand and came to sit in the pavilion. Pastries for wine tasting had been prepared in the pavilion, and opposite was a garden full of flowers in full bloom, which was very eye-catching and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
At the same time, on the other side, Langya and the three masters of Baitong Pavilion spread out and searched the entire Hengwang Mansion with a momentum of digging three feet underground.
