Mo Nan didn't react for a moment, and Gu Siyuan wrapped his arms around her neck. She opened her mouth, her hands clawing at the hands around her neck, crying, "Young Master, help me!"

Mo Bei also stepped forward and pulled Gu Siyuan away, "Young Master Gu, we didn't bring many people with us, because we were worried that if there were too many people, we would be discovered."

Gu Siyuan released his grip, but still looked at the two brothers. "I don't care, next time you have something like this, you have to call me. Now tell me, what evidence did you release?"

Mo Nan and Mo Bei looked at Murong Xiao.

Murong Xiao nodded.

Then Mo Bei whispered something in Gu Siyuan's ear.

Moxi immediately joined in upon seeing this.

Gu Siyuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he hooked his arm around Mo Bei's neck again, this time with delight. "Brother, that was great! That was a brilliant move!"

Mo Bei also fawned over Murong Xiao, "Hehe~, it's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching!"

Murong Xiao looked at these few clowns and shook his head. "Don't be careless. Tell the people watching to be careful and not to be discovered."

Mo Nan immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Gu Siyuan leaned forward and sat down on the table in front of Murong Xiao. "Uncle, you can rest assured about what I'm doing!"

Murong Xiao looked at him helplessly, "I don't trust you to handle things, so be careful with your money."

Gu Siyuan was about to retort when Doctor Luo rushed in, "Young Murong, I suddenly remembered something. I have news about that little girl!"

Gu Siyuan's attention was immediately diverted by Doctor Luo, "Where? Where? Whose daughter is she?"

Doctor Luo paused for a moment, "Uh... I don't know."

"Then what did you say about having news?" Gu Siyuan said dismissively.

Mo Nan then asked Doctor Luo, "Old Master, what did you discover?"

Doctor Luo immediately spoke up, "Today, the young man Shen from the clinic came to borrow silver needles. I just remembered that the night before the assassination attempt on the Prince's mansion, he also came to borrow silver needles and told me that someone was inquiring about the Hidden Spirit Grass. But I was busy making medicine at the time and forgot to remind you. Later, I didn't remember at all."

After saying that, he awkwardly scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Gu Siyuan sighed and looked at Doctor Luo, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Mo Nan then asked the divine physician, "Did Doctor Shen describe the girl's appearance?"

Doctor Luo shook his head. "No, he was wearing a cap, so you couldn't see any facial features at all."

Gu Siyuan shrugged. "Hey, what kind of news is this? There's absolutely no information."

Mo Nan didn't know how to speak up for the old man.

Doctor Luo also realized that there really wasn't any news.

Murong Xiao was not disappointed at all, and even felt grateful to the masked man. "Don't be so persistent in looking for that girl. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again."

Since Prince Murong had said so, the group no longer insisted on searching for the masked girl in black.

Meanwhile, Qin Wanyou, who was on everyone's mind, was still lying in bed recovering from her injuries. Although she had taken the pills that Feng Ling had found, her body was still in pain due to the severity of her injuries.

Therefore, when the old lady Qin, the matriarch of the Right Prime Minister's residence, returned from visiting friends and relatives today, Qin Wanyou did not get up to greet her, because her injuries were too severe and she was bedridden and unable to walk.

Moreover, Qin Wanyou did not appear when the whole family welcomed the old lady back to the mansion for the reunion dinner that evening. This made the old lady, who already disliked Qin Wanyou because she favored boys over girls, even more disgusted. "What? Do you look down on this old woman so much? Just because you have spiritual power, you think you are superior to others. You don't even want to come and eat?"

No one spoke at the table until Qin Xiang finally spoke up to explain, "Mother, Wan You is seriously injured and is currently unconscious and bedridden. Once she wakes up, I will make her apologize to you."

Madam Qin looked at the others, "Is that really so?"

Qin Mingzhu then chimed in, "That's right, Grandmother. Xiaoping said that my sister has been lying in bed almost all day these past two days and we can't wake her up. Moreover, she has lost all her spiritual power and all her martial arts skills."

After saying that, he pretended to be a little sad for Qin Wanyou.

After hearing Qin Mingzhu's words, Prime Minister Qin's expression turned serious. "Shut up. Don't mention Wan You's ghostly power again. Everyone, eat your food. If you don't eat, go back."

Seeing Qin Xiang's stern face, everyone stopped mentioning Qin Wanyou and lowered their heads to eat in silence.

The old lady originally wanted to press for more details, but seeing her son's expression, she knew it wasn't the right time to speak; she would find out what she needed to know later.

The moon is high in the sky.

Qin Wanyou lay on her side on the bed, waiting for Feng Ling to have dinner, and thinking about her next plan.

Luckily, I wore a soft armor underneath beforehand, otherwise that old bastard's palm strike would have either killed me or crippled me. But my back is still incredibly painful, and I've been lying on my stomach or side for the past few days, which is really uncomfortable.

You old codger who should have died long ago, you just wait, I'll definitely send you to hell!

Qin Wanyou said fiercely to herself.

That evening, after dinner, Qin Wanyou asked Feng Ling to prepare some things.

The next day, the old lady's maid came to see Qin Wanyou, told her to rest well, and then left.

The day after they returned, news came that the old lady had caught a cold and was ill. She hadn't gotten better in two days, and her condition was getting worse.

After lying down for several days, Qin Wanyou finally managed to get up. Upon hearing the news that her grandmother was unwell, she put on white clothes, dressed in mourning, and slowly dragged her frail body to the old lady's Changqing Courtyard, where she saw Prime Minister Qin, Madam Li, and her two concubines.

Qin Wanyou bowed slightly to them, "Father, Mother, I came to visit you after hearing that Grandmother was unwell upon returning home."

Looking at Qin Wanyou's frail appearance, Madam Qin felt a tightness in her chest and wanted to curse, but she knew it wasn't the right time. So she waved her hand, telling Qin Wanyou to go into the room to see the old lady and not to linger in front of her.

Qin Wanyou nodded to them and slowly walked with Xiaoping to the bedside of Old Madam Qin. "Granddaughter Qin Wanyou has come to visit Grandmother. Because Wanyou's injuries have not yet healed, I was unable to welcome Grandmother back to the mansion, and now it is inconvenient for me to serve her closely. Please forgive me, Grandmother, and I wish you a speedy recovery!"

When Old Madam Qin raised her eyes and saw Qin Wanyou dressed in mourning, she was furious. She wanted to point at Qin Wanyou and scold her, but her hand could only slowly and tremblingly rise up, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.

The old lady's attendant, Liu, hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "The old lady appreciates the second young lady's kindness, but she is unwell and needs to rest more. The second young lady is also injured and has already visited the old lady. Please go back now and get some rest so you can recover soon."

Qin Wanyou looked disappointed. "In that case, Wanyou will not disturb Grandmother's rest any longer. Wanyou will take her leave."

After saying that, he waved the handkerchief in his hand, reached out and helped Xiaoping slowly move out of the front hall.

Approaching Prime Minister Qin, he said, "Father."

Seeing Qin Wanyou like this, Prime Minister Qin sighed inwardly, "Go back and rest well. You're injured, so the old lady won't blame you if you don't come."

Qin Wanyou scoffed inwardly. It was impossible not to blame him. For someone who favored sons over daughters, as long as I was a woman, whatever I did would be wrong.

Since they could come and cause trouble, why didn't they? However, they still looked quite sad.

“Father, I have also heard the rumors in the manor. It is said that Wanyou’s illness was transmitted to Grandmother. Wanyou is feeling uneasy and wants to go to Huguo Temple for a few days to pray for Grandmother’s well-being.”

"Nonsense! Focus on recovering and ignore those rumors." Prime Minister Qin was furious upon hearing this, then turned to Li Shi.

"What's wrong with you? Why are there such rumors? Find out who spread them and punish them severely."

Madam Li quickly agreed and comforted Qin Wanyou, "Don't pay attention to the rumors. Mother will definitely deal with those who talk nonsense and have no sense of propriety."

Qin Wanyou bowed to them, "Thank you, Father and Mother. Perhaps it's not just hearsay. Better safe than sorry. Wanyou still wants to go to Huguo Temple to pray for her grandmother. Otherwise, she will still feel guilty. Please grant me permission, Father."

Seeing Qin Wanyou's insistence, Prime Minister Qin gave in to her, "Alright, in that case, let the steward arrange for someone to escort you to Huguo Temple."

Qin Wanyou immediately bowed her head in gratitude, "Thank you, Father."

Having achieved her goal, Qin Wanyou didn't linger and left immediately.
