Prince Li glanced at him nonchalantly, then sighed helplessly after a moment: "Old Qin, why are you so confused? You're already at this age, and you still reveal your ambitions?"
Old Master Qin asked dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean?"
Prince Li replied slowly, "What I mean is that you've been deceived. The woman standing next to you is using you. Do you think I would banish her to the imperial mausoleum without solid evidence? Besides, I'm not going to spare her life, because I still need her to lure out the wolf hiding behind us, Yan Muqing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Youde rushed in with the Royal Guards.
He clamped Concubine Yao's arm, causing her to scream in pain.
Old Master Qin turned pale with fear. He trembled and accused: "Prince Li, you are too bold. How can you command the Imperial Guards?"
Prince Li raised the token in his hand and said, "The Emperor gave it to me personally. He entrusted me with his son before his death. How can I not command these imperial guards?"
Even though Imperial Concubine Yao was pinned to the ground, she still shouted, "Old Master Qin, don't believe his lies. He's a traitor, he has bad intentions, he's trying to commit suicide, you better deal with him quickly!"
Old Master Qin was trembling all over. He said sarcastically, "Prince Li, it seems that having an heir has fueled your ambitions!"
Prince Li said calmly, "I don't bother to argue with you, but I have something to tell you. You are disrespectful to the Emperor, and the good days of your Qin family are over!"
He ignored Old Master Qin and asked Li Youde to drag Concubine Yao out and torture her.
The mace with sharp spikes hit her back, causing her to wail in pain one after another.
Prince Li said in a deep voice, "I don't care where Yan Muqing is hiding. Just tell me Wanwan's whereabouts, and I will spare your life!"
Imperial Concubine Yao's pupils contracted violently, and she squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "She, isn't she already dead? Marquis Zhan Yi has already brought her headless body back to his mansion."
Prince Li lowered his eyes and chuckled, "It was the headless body that made me suspicious. Wanwan wasn't dead at all. You were afraid of exposing this secret, so you deliberately cut off the head. How foolish!"
Imperial Concubine Yao's heart trembled. She and Yan Mucheng were just pretending to be clever.
However, Prince Li continued, "You are a pathetic fool. Yan Muqing asked you to put yourself in danger, and you really dared to return to the palace? Didn't he know that you would fall into my hands? He had long expected that such a poor plan could not be hidden from me and Zhan Yan!"
These words were heartbreaking, and immediately caused Concubine Yao's eyes to be filled with struggle.
She asked in a trembling voice, "What do you mean? You said Yan Muqing did it on purpose?"
Prince Li nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, he's already taken advantage of this opportunity to escape. He's just trying to use you as a chess piece to cause trouble. If he succeeds, that's great. Even if he fails, it won't hurt him at all!"
Imperial Concubine Yao clenched her fists in anger. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "He's a beast in human form. He actually thought of taking advantage of me. He deserves to die!"
Prince Li immediately asked, "Where did he hide Wanwan?"
Imperial Concubine Yao shook her head with difficulty: "I don't know, I only heard that he took her away, and her eyes are blind, she will never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime!"
Prince Li's face suddenly changed with shock. He reached out and clamped Concubine Yao's chin, shouting, "Who took her away? Do you know who that person is?"
Imperial Concubine Yao replied in panic, "The prince of the Marquis of Guangming's mansion!"
Prince Li froze in his tracks. "Didn't the prince of Guangming Marquisate disappear a long time ago?"
He ordered his men to put Concubine Yao in the dungeon and immediately let Zhan Yan into the palace.
In order to prevent the Qin family from interfering again, he imprisoned Old Master Qin in the dungeon as well.
When Zhan Yan heard that he was the prince of Marquis Guangming, his expression became complicated, solemn and ugly.
He frowned and said, "After An Qingfeng's family was sentenced to exile, they disappeared from the capital. No one knows where they went!"
Prince Li pondered, "I remember An Qingfeng as a headstrong general. He was very kind to his personal guards. When he escaped without permission, he took his personal guards with him. But why was he left alone when he entered the capital?"
Zhan Yan shook his head: "I don't know either, it seems like something unexpected happened in the middle!"
Prince Li reminded: "You must take people to find out what happened. This is the only clue to find Wanwan!"
Zhan Yan said quickly: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
As soon as he left the palace with Ying Hunying, he ran into Lin Ran who was waiting outside with an anxious look on his face.
He was the first to ask, "Does Wanwan have any clues?"
Zhan Yan didn't hide it either: "Well, my father said he wanted to check on the personal guards of the Marquis of Guangming's mansion to see what happened to them that prevented them from returning to the capital. Do you know where their families live now?"
Lin Ran said worriedly, "This is really hard to investigate. After the incident at Guangming Marquis' Mansion, the entire family was sentenced to exile, and the families of the personal soldiers followed suit. Very few remained in the capital!"
Zhan Yan said, "It's hard to investigate, but we have to. Wanwan's disappearance is related to the missing Prince of Guangming!"
Lin Ran's expression suddenly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go look for clues separately!"
Everyone scattered and left, and Lin Yiwan, who was at the Hill of the Wrathful Souls, also became suspicious at this moment.
She drank medicine every day, but the medicine did not restore her eyesight at all, and she was still immersed in darkness.
She was now certain that the reason she couldn't see was not as simple as a head injury.
When Zhiyu offered to give her medicine again, she refused without hesitation: "Even if I drink another hundred bowls of this medicine, my eyes won't be able to see again. Why should I waste any more time?"
Zhiyu suddenly became a little flustered. She said anxiously, "Madam, what do you mean? The doctor said that as long as you take the medicine obediently, your eyes will recover soon. How can you not believe it?"
Lin Yiwan ignored her and said, "Have you seen enough? Let's talk!"
As Zhiyu left, a thin figure sat in front of her.
He sighed, "She is worthy of being the wife of the Marquis of Zhan Yi's mansion. Even though she is blind, she is still so sharp and alert!"
Lin Yiwan quietly clenched her fingers under the quilt. Because of her blindness, she felt a surge of uneasiness in her heart.
But she was certain that the other party would not take her life!
Otherwise, I would never just give her some insignificant herbs to drink!
She was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Who are you?"
As the words fell, the air suddenly stagnated.
Just when Lin Yiwan thought he wouldn't answer, his hoarse voice rang out: "Madam, do you remember the An family in Guangming Marquis Mansion?"
