Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Seeing Beitang Yuan and Sikong Xiao sitting there, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and bowed, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Beitang Yuan looked at him without saying anything.

It was eerily quiet in Xiancao Hall.

The prefect of Jingzhao felt an invisible pressure coming over him, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Please... Your Highness, give your orders." The voice was trembling.

"As the prefect of Jingzhao, you are responsible for managing all public security issues in Shengjing. Do you know that the elixir from Xiancaotang is harmful to people?" Beitang Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"In reply to Your Highness, I know that someone reported the case yesterday and the case is under investigation..." The prefect of Jingzhao really couldn't understand why the prince would not attend the palace banquet but run to this Xiancaotang to take charge of the elixir business?

"Well! So where did you find out?" Beitang Yuan asked casually.

"Investigate...find out..." The prefect of Jingzhao spoke hesitantly, his eyes flickering.

"He didn't check at all." A voice came from outside the door.

Several people looked up and saw a young man walk in.

Xie Jinglan recognized this person; he was the prince of Prince Jia's Mansion, Beitang Lin.

Prince Jia was the eldest son of the late emperor. He was a playboy when he was young. He spent his days indulging in flowers, eating, drinking and having fun with a group of young masters, and never participated in the affairs of the court.

It was also because of this that he escaped the brutal battle for the throne and survived.

Beitang Lin walked in and bowed, "Greetings to the Crown Prince, Cousin Xiao."

"Yeah." Beitang Yuan nodded slightly.

"Cousin Lin, what did you say just now?" Sikong Xiao asked him what he meant.

“The afternoon before yesterday, I also bought a Soul-Restoring Pill from this Immortal Herb Hall and gave it to my Crown Princess when I got home. However, within half an hour, Yu’er’s stomach started to ache unbearably.

I realized something was wrong, so I brought Yu'er to Xiancaotang to find someone. After the genius doctor Mosang examined Yu'er, he said that this situation occurred because the food Yu'er ate conflicted with the elixir, and it had nothing to do with her soul-returning pill.

At first I thought so too, and had to ask her to prescribe some more medicine. Therefore, I paid an additional fifty taels of gold.

But before we left, another buyer showed up. It was the old lady from Prime Minister Lu's family. After taking the pill, she had the same symptoms as Yu'er, with unbearable abdominal pain. I realized I might have been scammed."

Hearing this, Xie Jinglan was a little surprised that Prime Minister Lu also bought the elixir from Xiancaotang.

Beitang Lin was still talking about the elixir, "Just when we were asking Mo Sang to give an explanation, King Mu came and said that he would guarantee it and that we don't have to worry.

But Yu'er's stomach still felt uncomfortable, and the pain was so severe that she couldn't sleep well the whole night.

Yesterday morning, I and the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to Xiancaotang to look for Mo Sang again, but we found the door closed. We knocked for a long time but no one came out. We knew we were tricked.

We thought of our guarantor, King Mu, and went to his mansion to find him, but the door was closed and he refused to see any guests.

We really had no other options, so we went to the Jingzhao government office to report the case."

"Prince Mu?" Sikong Xiao was furious when he heard this. "How dare this Xiancaotang swindle people so blatantly? It turns out Beitang Hong is aiding and abetting this evil! No, I have to go find my uncle and ask him to make the decision for us."

"Jingzhao Yin, is what the Prince of Jia said true?" Beitang Yuan asked in a deep voice.

Jing Zhaoyin shuddered, "Replying to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince and the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion did go to report the case, and they were already investigating yesterday..."

"In that case, you have ten days to investigate this case thoroughly. If you can't, you can get out." Beitang Yuan stood up after saying this.

The prefect of Jingzhao collapsed to the ground, his face pale.

Asking him to investigate the case within ten days, how could that be possible? It was obvious that they were trying to remove him from office!

The mastermind behind this Xiancaotang is King Mu. Should we ask him to capture Beitang Hong? That person is the Queen's son. Even if we give him a few more heads, he wouldn't dare to capture him!

After leaving Xiancaotang, Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan got on a carriage and left.

"Let's go to Duke Li's Mansion first."

"Yes." Hu Xiu responded and whipped his whip. "Go!"

"I'll take you back first, then go to the palace to find my father." Beitang Yuan hesitated, raised his eyes and asked her, "As for Lin Ruyan, what do you want to do?"

"Of course I want her life." Xie Jinglan said calmly, "I will fight that Lin guy to the death."

"But given your current situation, you are no match for them. Don't act rashly." Beitang Yuan had fought with Lin Yuansheng before and knew his strength. He was afraid that she would take impulsive risks.

"I'll help you."

"As long as they don't cause me trouble, I won't look for them for the time being. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to myself." Her grandmother and brother both need her and won't let herself take risks.

******

In the afternoon, Emperor Kunming issued an edict, declaring Mo Sang a charlatan who was seeking fame and reputation, and sealed off Xiancaotang. He also issued a warrant for his arrest and offered a large reward for his capture.

As for the fact that Mo Sang is Lin Ruyan, Beitang Hong flatly denied it to Emperor Kunming, saying that someone deliberately wanted to frame her.

He also claimed that he was also cheated by Mo Sang, so he acted as a guarantor for Xiancaotang.

Willing to compensate Sikong Xiao, Prince Jiajun, and Prime Minister Lu for the 150,000 taels of gold they spent on buying the Soul-Restoring Pill.

However, the warehouse of Prince Mu's mansion had been emptied by Xie Jinglan, and there was no way they could take out so much gold, so they had to ask Empress Zhangsun for help.

Empress Changsun hated Lin Ruyan to the core and felt that she was the one who had harmed her son.

After this incident, Emperor Kunming became increasingly disappointed with his son Beitang Hong and punished him to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion for a month.

Although the gold was recovered, both Madam Lu and the Crown Prince's wife were poisoned. Their illnesses were not cured but became worse.

Prime Minister Lu and Prince Jia went to the palace every day to cry to Emperor Kunming, which made Emperor Kunming so angry that he didn't treat Empress Changsun well for several days.

Duke Li's Mansion.

Xie Jinglan has been busy these two days dealing with matters in the mansion, taking care of her grandmother, and making tea with the spiritual spring water in the space for her to drink so that her body can recover as soon as possible.

He is only fifty-three years old. If he recovers, he can help her manage the affairs of the mansion and take care of his younger brother. When she recovers her strength, she will seek revenge on that man named Lin.

Thinking that my grandmother and Lin Yuansheng were only nominally husband and wife, I was very curious about who their biological grandfather was?

She had heard people say that her grandmother was also a very influential figure when she was young, and was one of the most beautiful women in Shengjing at that time. Given her proud personality, the man she liked must be extraordinary.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to a child for him and remained a virgin for him her entire life.

At night, she went into the space and soaked in the spiritual spring water for a while, then took a Yuan Dan, sat down cross-legged and prepared to practice.

She felt that her Dantian was full, and the swirling spiritual energy seemed to loosen, which was a sign of advancement.
