Doctor Lin frowned and looked at him: "Is the soft bun in your hand delicious?"

Zhan Yan looked down, not knowing what he was thinking about, his face instantly turned red.

Doctor Lin was confused and asked subconsciously, "I asked you if the soft steamed bun tasted good, why are you blushing?"

Zhan Yan stepped forward and replied in a hoarse voice, "Grandfather, if we delay any longer, those Li Kingdom soldiers will become suspicious. We must see King Wu as soon as possible!"

Old Doctor Lin was taken away by him, but he suspected that Zhan Yan must have had bad intentions.

Otherwise, why would he look so guilty?

The three of them walked forward for a while, and then they heard a sudden burst of shrill cries coming from a palace, followed by the ringing of funeral bells.

Doctor Lin was startled. He quickly grabbed Zhan Yan's wrist and said, "Are we too late? Has King Wu already gone?"

Before Zhan Yan could answer, he saw a number of people hurriedly walking in from the hall. The leader was a rough-looking man who shouted in a deep voice: "The King of Wu has traveled west on a crane, and the white lanterns have been replaced!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of sobbing was heard.

Doctor Lin murmured in a trembling voice: "Ah Yan, we are one step too late after all!"

Zhan Yan grabbed his wrist and hid in the shadows.

He spoke quickly, "Even if King Wu is dead, we have to go see his body. I remember Wanwan said she gave him a life-saving pill. Even if he was seriously ill, it would protect his heart from damage!"

Old Doctor Lin instantly became alert. He was the one who developed the life-saving pill, so he naturally knew how powerful its effect was.

Since King Wu has it in his hands, there might still be hope of rescuing it.

He stopped thinking about random things and subconsciously followed Zhan Yan into the hall.

From a distance, they saw many people kneeling inside, and a human figure lying on the bed.

Mu Yi said worriedly: "There are too many people, we can't get close at all!"

Zhan Yan closed his eyes tightly. He needed Min Xiang so much at this moment!

If he were there, he could bring them all in directly.

But where was he imprisoned?

He had been in Li Country for several days but had not found out Min Ao's whereabouts.

Just as his thoughts were swirling, someone suddenly patted his shoulder forcefully: "What are you standing there for? In case something unexpected happens at Ruyi Pagoda, the general has ordered all the guards to guard it!"

Zhan Yan spoke subconsciously: "I am assigned to patrol the inner palace and I am not allowed to leave my post without permission!"

The man waved his hands irritably, "There's no need to patrol the inner palace anymore. The people are already dead. No matter who comes, they're powerless to save the situation. But there can't be any mistakes on Min Ao's side. You guys hurry over there. Once the mourning period for King Wu is over, everything will be settled!"

Zhan Yan immediately understood that Min Ao was imprisoned in Ruyi Tower. No wonder he couldn't find out any information about him.

He winked at Mu Yi, and the three of them took their leave.

When they arrived at Ruyi Tower, they found that it was heavily guarded, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Mu Yi approached Yan and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Prime Minister Min is imprisoned on the top floor of the Ruyi Tower. If we want to rush up and rescue him, it will undoubtedly be as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

Zhan Yanyouyou said: "The situation is urgent, we have to use our ultimate move, otherwise, when King Wu is put into the coffin, even if his heart meridians are intact, he will be suffocated to death!"

Mu Yi asked hesitantly, "What is the Marquis's special move?"

Zhan Yan took out a medicine bottle and handed it to him: "This is a medicine developed by Wanwan. It's called Bee-Attracting Incense. As long as we light it, the surrounding poisonous bees will swarm over. Then, we can take advantage of the chaos and rush to the Ruyi Pagoda!"

Mu Yi nodded vigorously, quickly poured the bee-attracting incense on his clothes, and lit it with a fire starter.

The wind fanned the flames, and the fragrance spread far away in an instant.

Many soldiers stationed there asked, "Why is there a sudden fire and a strange fragrance?"

The soldier commander was the first to react. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Go put out the fire, quick!"

As soon as the words fell, a loud buzzing sound was heard in everyone's ears.

They subconsciously looked up at the night sky and immediately found that many poisonous bees were swooping down in groups.

Someone shouted, "Get out of the way! It's a black widow bee. It's extremely poisonous. A bite can be fatal!"

The soldiers were so frightened that their legs went limp and they turned around and ran away.

No matter how the soldier commander tried to stop him, it was of no avail. In desperation, he simply chopped off the head of the person next to him, which calmed the chaotic scene.

However, the silence was only momentary. When someone was bitten by a poisonous bee, the heartbreaking cry almost pierced everyone's eardrums.

The soldier commander's face changed drastically, and he immediately led his men to flee into the tower.

At this time, Zhan Yan and his men rushed up. They quickly found the room where Min Ao was imprisoned. They looked at the guards and said, "There are poisonous bees attacking under the tower. The commander wants you to find a safe place to hide!"

The guard was startled and asked anxiously, "Where is the safe place?"

Zhan Yan pointed to a secret room and urged, "Hide inside, quickly!"

As soon as several guards hid inside, he locked the door.

They were stunned at first, then angrily knocked on the door: "Open it quickly! Where did you come from, spy? Are you looking for death?"

Zhan Yan turned a deaf ear and immediately rushed into the room where Min Ao was imprisoned.

I saw him lying on the bed, his face pale and scary. Where was the handsome appearance he had in the Sheng Dynasty?

Zhan Yan couldn't help but say: "I never thought you would have this day!"

Min Ao never dreamed that Zhan Yan's face would appear in front of him. If he could move, he would have pinched him hard.

He opened his mouth excitedly, but couldn't utter a word.

Zhan Yan immediately made half of his body free and urged anxiously, "Grandfather, please take a look at him. What drug has poisoned him?"

Doctor Lin quickly took his pulse, then frowned for a moment before saying, "It's not medicine, but some special restrictions on his body. I have to use acupuncture to stimulate his key acupoints in order to recover!"

Zhan Yan nodded: "Then hurry up, Mu Yi and I will go to guard the door, don't let anyone break in and disturb you!"

Doctor Lin did not dare to delay and immediately took out the needle bag to lift the restriction for Min Ao.

As soon as Zhan Yan and Mu Yi walked out the door, they saw the soldier commander running up surrounded by people.

He ran so awkwardly that one of his shoes even fell off.

He frowned and looked at Zhan Yan: "Why do you look unfamiliar? Who are you?"

Zhan Yan did not answer immediately, but mouthed four words.

The soldier leader's expression suddenly changed. He quickly drew his sword and roared, "You're playing tricks on me! Are you looking for death?"

Zhan Yan kicked him to the ground, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed his neck and lifted him up, saying, "I told you, I'm your father. You're deaf, and you still dare to blame me?"
