Lin Yiwan carefully inquired about Lin Xiaoruan's process of boiling the medicine, and immediately felt that it was abnormal for her to be attacked by a group of birds.

She searched the area and found that the surrounding flowers and trees were also stained with the scent of musk powder.

After a moment's silence, she figured out how the musk powder ended up in the medicine soup.

She looked at Lin Xiaoruan and said, "Someone controlled the birds to give you drugs. They weren't attacking you, but they were deliberately knocking over the medicine bowl!"

Lin Xiaoruan suddenly came to her senses. She murmured in a trembling voice, "Cousin, the musk powder is hidden in the wings of birds? This is too unbelievable!"

Lin Yiwan also felt that this method of poisoning was very rare, but when she thought about the fact that there were many talented people in the world, there must be someone who could control birds.

She took a deep breath and said, "She can't stay in the princess's mansion anymore. Let's take her to the Prince's Mansion to take care of the baby first!"

*** was very happy, after all, she could meet Lin Yiwan often.

She quickly ordered people to pack up her belongings, handed over the princess's mansion to a trusted nanny, and immediately left in Lin Yiwan's carriage.

To avoid further accidents, she did not take any maids away from the princess's mansion.

Lin Yiwan settled her daughter in a courtyard very close to her own, and then went to the Lin Mansion to visit Lin Ran.

Although his health had improved, Sang Qiutang still kept him in the mansion and prevented him from going on duty.

When he heard that Lin Yiwan had arrived, he immediately went to greet her in person.

Lin Yiwan first took his pulse and then announced that he could stop taking the medication.

He narrowed his eyes in triumph. "Qiu Tang, I told you I've recovered, but you refused to believe me. Now, shouldn't you listen to Wan Wan?"

Sang Qiutang frowned and interrupted, "You can take this opportunity to rest for a few more days. The Dali Temple can still solve the case without you!"

Lin Ran didn't say anything else and poured tea for Lin Yiwan himself.

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and asked, "Uncle, do you know of anyone in the capital who can control birds?"

Lin Ran's eyes widened in confusion. "Control a bird? How do you control a bird? Tell me in detail!"

Lin Yiwan frankly told Lin Ran that someone had poisoned the bird, which shocked Lin Ran.

He paced back and forth and said, "This is the first time I've heard of such a method of harming people. However, I have indeed seen people who can control birds. Some time ago, a circus troupe came to the capital, and one of them could blow a whistle to control a flock of birds to dance in the air!"

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed. She quickly said, "What circus? If I'm not mistaken, that person is the murderer who murdered ***!"

Lin Ran subconsciously looked at Sang Qiutang who was sitting next to him: "How about I take Wanwan with me? He dared to murder me, this is no ordinary murderer!"

Sang Qiutang naturally wouldn't stop them. She concernedly reminded them, "Bring more people with you, so we can have someone to look after you if you run into danger!"

Lin Ran agreed decisively and immediately took Lin Yiwan to the circus.

When the two arrived, they were taken to the back hall by the shopkeeper.

He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my circus is closed for the next few days and won't be having any performances. I'm afraid your trip will be in vain!"

Lin Yiwan spoke first, "We're not here for a show. We heard there's a man in your troupe who can control birds, so we wanted to invite him to our house to celebrate the old lady's birthday!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up at first, then he shook his head and said, "To be honest, the bird controller has left the capital to recuperate due to illness. I don't know how long it will take for him to return!"

Lin Yiwan raised the corner of her lips in sarcasm. It seemed that the bird controller had a very sharp sense of smell. He had guessed that he had been found, so he escaped in advance.

She immediately stood up and said, "That's too unfortunate. It seems we can only hire a troupe to celebrate the old lady's birthday!"

After saying that, she urged Lin Ran to leave quickly.

The shopkeeper did not stop them until the two men got on the carriage and disappeared around the corner of the street. Then he hurried back into the yard.

He walked into the house and reported, "It was the wife of the Marquis of Zhan Yi's mansion and the Dali Temple Minister Lin Ran who came together. They came right up to find the bird controller. They've obviously guessed that he was responsible for the incident at the Princess's mansion!"

The figure shrouded in darkness spoke angrily: "That idiot, so self-righteous, was exposed so quickly. Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise he would have been caught red-handed!"

The shopkeeper asked worriedly, "What should we do next? That Marquis' wife is too clever. If she doesn't die, our plan won't succeed at all!"

The man sneered, "I dream of her dying every day, but she's still alive and well. God is so unfair!"

The shopkeeper lowered his eyes and pondered, "Why not use the bird controller as bait and set a trap for her, letting her die in the dense forest outside the capital!"

The man was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Okay, send him a message and tell him to make all necessary preparations. He must not let Lin Yiwan return to the capital alive!"

Before Lin Yiwan and Lin Ran had walked far, they were caught up by a servant, panting.

He said tremblingly, "My two distinguished guests, I'm here on the orders of the shopkeeper to inform you that the bird controller you're looking for is currently in Xinglin, just outside the capital. You can personally invite him to your mansion to prepare a surprise birthday banquet for the old lady!"

Lin Ran and Lin Yiwan exchanged a quick glance before speaking in a focused voice, "Okay, thank the shopkeeper for us. If the birthday banquet is a success, we will definitely come visit again!"

The servant took his leave and the two men ordered the driver to turn around and go to the apricot forest outside the capital.

Lin Yiwan spoke first: "Uncle, Xingzilin must be a trap, you must be prepared!"

Lin Ran frowned and pondered: "Besides giving drugs, what else can those birds do?"

Lin Yiwan couldn't guess, but she thought that he must have many abilities, so it would never hurt to be more prepared.

She took a pill from her purse, crushed it and sprinkled it all over her clothes.

Lin Ran followed suit, but he didn't ask what it was used for. Anyway, he believed that Lin Yiwan would never harm him.

After everything was ready, the two of them left the city and came to the apricot forest.

As soon as I got off the carriage, bursts of intense bird calls rang out in the air around me.

Lin Yiwan widened her eyes in shock as a swarm of birds flapped their wings and swooped down towards her, their pointed beaks a terrifying scarlet.

She quickly shouted, "Uncle, get in the carriage quickly! These birds have poison in their beaks. Anyone who gets in contact with them will die instantly!"

The two men returned to the carriage as quickly as possible, dragging the coachman in with them.

There were loud banging sounds outside the carriage, obviously the angry birds were hitting the solid walls of the carriage.

Lin Ran's scalp tingled as he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wanwan, I expected a flock of birds to attack, but I didn't expect so many, covering the sky and the sun. How could he be so powerful? Did he control all the birds in the capital?"
