Lin Su couldn't bear the blow, burst into tears and fainted.

Prince Li's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately ordered someone to call for Doctor Lin.

He quickly calmed himself down. Now, he was the only one who could make the decision in the entire Lin family.

He turned to look at Zi'er: "Where is Zhan Yan? Where did he put the body?"

Zi'er replied: "I didn't dare to enter Prince Li's palace, so I took him to Marquis Zhan Yi's palace!"

After Prince Li settled Lin Su, he immediately rushed to the Marquis' Mansion.

When he saw Zhan Yan, he saw him kneeling on the ground in a miserable state, and next to him was the headless corpse.

Prince Li's pupils contracted violently. He could recognize Lin Yiwan's clothes, and he remembered even more the medicine bag that she never left behind.

But even if all these things were there, he still firmly believed that Wanwan could not die.

He quickly walked up to Zhan Yan, stretched out his hand and forcefully pulled him up, saying, "Zhan Yan, you don't really think this is Wanwan's body? Think carefully, why would a wild beast that roamed the mountains and forests only take her head away, leaving the rest of her body intact?"

Zhan Yan was stunned at first, and then his pale face gradually showed some fluctuations.

He replied hoarsely, "Is it because you know that my aunt has the ability to read bones and portraits that you are trying to confuse us? Maybe Wanwan is not dead yet?"

Prince Li nodded and said, "You still have some brains. Wanwan must have been hidden by those people. The body in front of me is not her at all!"

After hearing what King Li said, Zhan Yan gradually regained his sanity. He had only one thought before, which was to die with Wanwan. He didn't want to live at all.

He anxiously asked, "Father, what should we do next?"

Prince Li spoke slowly, "As they wished, after the death of your wife, you were depressed and stayed indoors, and no longer interfered with the affairs of the court!"

Zhan Yan quickly agreed: "Okay, I will do it!"

After a moment, he continued to ask, "Do we still need to continue searching for Wanwan in secret?"

King Li shook his head: "They are deliberately hiding her. It is not that easy for us to find her. It is better to calm down and lure them out of the cave!"

Zhan Yan and King Li discussed countermeasures and announced to the public the next day that the two governments were closed.

When the news reached Old Master Qin's ears, he laughed out loud with joy.

He said in a deep voice, "Let them continue to be so arrogant. Now they are getting their comeuppance, right? I will take this opportunity to enter the palace to assist the emperor, gain his trust, and force Prince Li and Zhan Yan to step aside."

Madam Qin urged: "Then go quickly, and don't let others take advantage of you again!"

On the way to the palace, Old Master Qin met a woman who stopped the carriage.

She said quietly, "Old Master Qin, please take me into the palace!"

Old Master Qin's expression suddenly changed. He was about to order someone to drag the unknown woman away when she quickly said, "I can help Qin Jinjin realize her wish and let her successfully marry into the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion!"

Old Master Qin didn't know her identity, so he invited her into the carriage.

She then revealed her true identity: "I am Consort Yao, the Imperial Concubine by the side of Emperor Sheng'an. Prince Li forged the imperial edict and deliberately killed the emperor in an attempt to control the new emperor and become the regent. He and Zhan Yan colluded with each other to occupy the court. Your Majesty, his death was unjust!"

Old Master Qin was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He wondered how the healthy Emperor Sheng An could die.

It turns out that it was the hypocritical King Li who did it!

He is so despicable!

He quickly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you and the emperor!"

Imperial Concubine Yao continued to cry, "Grandpa, the most important thing now is that the new emperor has great trust in Prince Li. What should we do?"

Old Master Qin snorted coldly: "He's still a child, what can he understand? I'll go and persuade him, he'll listen!"

The two entered the palace and went straight to the imperial study.

Xiao Ling was reviewing memorials at this time. Even if Prince Li was not by his side, he could still review them in an orderly manner.

There were busy footsteps outside the door. He looked up subconsciously and saw Old Master Qin with a cold and ugly expression.

He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Old Master Qin interrupted without hesitation: "Your Majesty, according to seniority, you have to call me Great Grandfather!"

Xiao Ling nodded: "Yes, great grandfather!"

Old Master Qin asked coldly, "Do you know how your father died? You are now married to a thief. Do you understand?"

Xiao Ling frowned and asked, "What does this mean, great grandfather?"

Old Master Qin shouted outside: "Why don't you come in?"

Imperial Concubine Yao walked in with small steps, knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "Your Majesty, please save me. I have been slandered and punished by Prince Li. It is clear that he deliberately poisoned Your Majesty in an attempt to control you and occupy the entire court!"

Xiao Ling angrily retorted, "You're talking nonsense. Prince Li's investigation has irrefutable evidence. It was you who poured those dirty drugs into my father's mouth. How dare you quibble?"

Imperial Concubine Yao shook her head vigorously. "It's not me. I live by relying on the Emperor. What good would it do me to kill him? But Prince Li and his men are different. They can control you and become the masters behind our Sheng Dynasty. They want to treat you like a living puppet!"

Xiao Ling still didn't believe it. He gritted his teeth and said, "What a wicked woman who spreads lies to deceive the people! You are so bold as to even return to the palace! Come, drag her away and beat her to death!"

Old Master Qin didn't expect him to be so stubborn and his face turned ashen with anger.

He quickly rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Ling's arm and shouted angrily: "Wake up! Did they drug you into believing in them? Do you trust them so much?"

He was so strong that he pinched Xiao Ling's thin arm so hard that it hurt.

He couldn't help but his eyes turned red: "Great grandfather, it hurts!"

Old Master Qin calmed down instantly, but he still didn't let go.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I used to be your father's tutor. Now that he has died unjustly, I can take the lead in avenging him. As a son, you should side with me instead of associating with those vicious people!"

Xiao Ling subconsciously asked: "What does Grandfather want me to do?"

Old Master Qin said coldly: "Deal with Prince Li, take away his power, and make him pay for your father's life!"

Xiao Ling gasped when he heard this. It turned out that his great-grandfather actually wanted his great-uncle to die.

He is so cruel!

He immediately argued: "Without evidence, I cannot punish my great-uncle!"

Old Master Qin glared at Concubine Yao and said, "Isn't she the evidence? Why did Prince Li drive her away? It was to hide the evil things he had done!"

Xiao Ling was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, I'll draft an edict according to my great-grandfather's wishes!"

Old Master Qin's face suddenly turned happy. As long as Prince Li fell, he would be Xiao Ling's greatest support.

Why worry about Zhan Yan not obeying his orders then?

While he was dreaming happily, Prince Li, who had received the imperial edict, entered the palace alone.

He sarcastically said, "Old Qin, I heard that you asked the Emperor to order the death of this prince?"

Old Master Qin angrily scolded: "How dare you! You are still so arrogant when death is imminent! I never thought that you were the one who poisoned the emperor with your own hands. How could you be so cruel? He is your own nephew!"
