At this moment, the ghost mother was lying on the bed with a pale face. She was half dead and very weak.

"Thank you for making me a normal person. If you want to know anything, just ask."

The ghost mother saw Lin Zan coming to her bedside and spoke directly.

"I want to know if you knew what his plans were during the time you were protected by Jun Beiyu?" Lin Zan didn't act pretentiously. The two of them were originally making a deal.

The ghost mother smiled and looked upward with empty eyes, then told what she had done in Prince Heng's palace.

At the same time, Jun Beiyu also entered the palace in the morning light. The emperor knew that he wanted to see him, so he hesitated for a moment but still met him.

"Father, I have obtained a magical object and would like to present it to you."

Jun Beiyu walked in slowly with a glass cup in his hand. The glass cup was filled with amber juice, which even flashed a dazzling light under the sunlight.

Seeing this strange object, the emperor was startled, and he quickly stood up and walked forward and asked curiously, "What kind of magical object is this?"

"Father, this is heavenly water that can prolong life. I got it from the Imperial Star Temple. Taoist Wuxu is in seclusion right now, so he asked me to bring this heavenly water to you, Father."

As Jun Beiyu spoke, he raised the glass cup in his hand high forward. When the emperor heard that it was the Tianshui given by Taoist Wuxu, his face lit up with joy, without the slightest doubt.

So, under Jun Beiyu's gaze, the emperor drank the heavenly water in the cup in one gulp, with an expression of extreme satisfaction on his face.

In the Prince's Mansion, after Lin Zan learned of Jun Beiyu's entire plan, he staggered back a step in disbelief.

"Are you sure? Jun Beiyu actually wants to turn the emperor into a puppet." Lin Zan said in surprise.

The ghost mother nodded firmly. "Yes, it is a puppet. Jun Beiyu turned all the people in Baitong Pavilion into puppets. Only one person survived, her name is Linglong."

After hearing this, Lin Zan knew that the matter was urgent, so he quickly ran out of the room and told Jun Beiqi about it.

"We will split into two groups. The prince will go into the palace to protect the emperor, and I will go to Prince Heng's mansion to rescue Linglong and the others." Lin Zhan said gritting his teeth.

Jun Beiqi didn't say much, and hurriedly led the Royal Guards into the palace to protect the emperor. Lin Zan led another team of people and hurried to Prince Heng's palace.

Wang Lanye felt very strange when she heard that Lin Zan had come so early in the morning, but she still opened the door to welcome him.

When Wang Lanye saw the group of people following Lin Zhan, she was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. "Sister Lin, why did you bring so many people? What happened?"

"Sister Wang, I will explain this matter to you later. My apologies." Lin Zan said while biting her lip, and quickly broke into Prince Heng's mansion with a team of people.

This big move scared Wang Lanye and made her confused. However, because Jun Beiyu had already entered the palace, she, a woman, could not stop the secret guards behind Lin Zan.

The ghost mother had already told the location of the dark room in advance, so Lin Zan found it easily, opened the door of the dark room, and walked down.

Wang Lanye, who had been following behind, covered her mouth in surprise. This was the first time she knew that there was such a secret dark room in Prince Heng's mansion.

As he entered the dark room, a black shadow pounced towards Lin Zhan. Fortunately, Lang Ya beside him was quick-witted and kicked the black shadow away.

The candles in the dark room were lit, and Lin Zhan could see the scene clearly. There were many puppets like zombies in the huge dark room.

They attacked Lin Zhan and the others without distinction, "Capture them, don't harm their lives."

Lin Zan knew that these people were controlled by the Puppet Water and they did not want to attack him, so he asked Langya to capture them and not harm their lives.

The secret guards behind him quickly captured these people. Lin Zhan opened another secret room and found Linglong tied with iron chains.

"Do you want to torture me again? Haha." Linglong's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and it no longer had the crispness like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

Lin Zhan's eyes were a little sour, and he quickly walked over, squatted down and said, "Linglong, it's me, I'm here to save you."

Hearing the familiar voice, Linglong's body stiffened for a moment, then she slowly raised her head and looked at Lin Zan, and the corners of her bloodstained mouth slowly curled up.

"Little girl, you came a little late, and I have suffered for this period of time. I will not give you the medicine you want so easily in the future."

After he finished speaking, Lin Zan's tears could no longer be stopped and he burst into laughter. He knew that Linglong was joking with him, so he quickly asked someone to cut off the chains on him.

Looking at the once stunning Linglong, whose red dress had now become filthy and whose body was covered with wounds from torture, Lin Zhan gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Jun Beiyu tortured Linglong in such a way that he could make him lose his mind and become his puppet, but Linglong's will was very firm.

This prevented Jun Beiyu from succeeding.

Looking at the person walking out of the dark room, Wang Lanye was stunned and stood there for a long time, unable to recover.

Seeing Lin Zhan also coming out of the dark room, Wang Lanye hurried over and asked, "Sister, what's going on?"

"Sister Wang, you will know later, but I advise you to be careful. Prince Heng is not the kind of person you think." Lin Zan didn't say much. He gave Wang Lanye some instructions and left with his men.

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty. Jun Beiqi also planned to enter the palace with the Royal Guards at this moment, but he never expected that the guards conveyed the emperor's oral order to forbid him to enter the palace.

"Are you sure it was my father who said personally that I am not allowed to enter the palace?" Jun Beiqi sat on his tall horse and looked at the generals guarding the palace gate, his brows furrowed into a lump.

The general clasped his hands together, holding the emperor's token, and said solemnly, "This is the emperor's order. Please don't embarrass me, Prince."

This sudden change made Jun Beiqi's heart skip a beat and he had a bad feeling. At the same time, he also learned from the generals that Jun Beiyu entered the palace an hour earlier than him.

This means that Jun Beiqi is one step behind Jun Beiyu. Perhaps the emperor has become Jun Beiyu's puppet. This makes Jun Beiqi very anxious, but he cannot break into the palace.

There was no other way, Jun Beiqi had to return to the Prince's Mansion temporarily, where he happened to meet Lin Zan who had returned from Prince Heng's Mansion.

"Why didn't the prince enter the palace?" Lin Zan looked at Jun Beiqi in surprise.

Jun Beiqi jumped off his horse, walked up to her and said, "We are a step too late. Jun Beiyu has already entered the palace."
