Upon hearing that someone needed his help, Chu Huainan quickly replied, "Princess, you're being too polite. The Prince and Princess have gone to great lengths to come to the Southern Frontier at your invitation. Please feel free to ask what you need. You saved Yu'er and Xing'er, so whatever you ask of me, I will do my best to help you without hesitation."

Li Liuyun nodded: "This matter is also a matter for your Southern Frontier. I presume that His Highness the Crown Prince already knows about Prime Minister Lin and your current Imperial Advisor, who is also the poison master, who are developing drug-like human figures in the Prime Minister's residence?"

Chu Huainan nodded: "I am indeed aware of this matter, but I am not entirely clear about the whereabouts of the medicine man, so I have not taken any action. I have not yet found a solution, after all, the other party is a Gu Master, and the situation on my side is unclear, so I have not let my father-in-law get involved!"

However, Chu Batian has been investigating missing persons quite rigorously lately, which has prevented them from arresting people again for further investigation. How did Your Highness and the Princess learn that the group of drugged people were inside the Prime Minister's residence?

Nangong Li glanced at Li Liuyun, who nodded. Nangong Li then said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince must know about the explosion that happened at the Prime Minister's residence a few days ago, right?"

Chu Huainan nodded. "I know this matter has escalated quite a bit. I heard that a spy from an enemy country was rescued in the chaos. The Prime Minister mobilized all the guards and conducted a full-scale search of the capital, but found no clues. I also heard that a large amount of valuables were lost. Could it be the work of the Prince and the Princess?"

Nangong Li shook his head: "The person who was captured was my subordinate, and it was my men who secretly infiltrated and rescued him. As for the large amount of property stolen from the Prime Minister's residence, that's probably just an attempt to cover it up."

Saving one person is easy, but to stealthily take all the valuables from the Prime Minister's residence requires extraordinary skill. Unless one is a legendary master thief or a divine being, perhaps the Prime Minister's residence is merely using the theft as a pretext to launch a massive manhunt.

Li Liuyun looked at Chu Huainan and slowly said, "After rescuing that person, we learned from him that nearly a hundred people had been captured in the Prime Minister's mansion's dungeon in order to develop the so-called plague gu, which is medicine people suffering from the plague."

Upon learning this news, the prince and I decided to use the "golden cicada shedding its shell" strategy and rushed to the southern border overnight. As expected, I extracted the toxin from that person's body and, after several days of research, finally developed an antidote and a vaccine to prevent infection with the epidemic.

Yesterday, the Prince and I received an urgent letter from Bei Li. Some changes had occurred at home. We plan to deal with the poison master and then leave the rest to the Crown Prince.

These past few days, the Prince and I have been planning a drastic measure: we'll find an opportunity to infiltrate the Prime Minister's residence, eliminate the poison master, and then, with the help of the Crown Prince, raid the Prime Minister's residence to retrieve the batch of drugged people!

Chu Huainan frowned: "This is too dangerous! The Prime Minister's mansion is full of traps, and the poison master's Gu technique is insidious and vicious. Even if the prince and princess are masters of martial arts, they cannot guarantee that they can escape unscathed! As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands."

Although I am also anxious to eradicate that cancer as soon as possible, the safety of the Princess and the Prince is the most important thing in my heart! I do not want the Prince and the Princess to put themselves in danger.

And to be selfish, Your Highness and the Princess are both of very high status. If anything goes wrong, I will be unable to explain myself to your Emperor. Secondly, my mother, the Empress Dowager, is still waiting for the Princess to remove the curse! This matter requires careful consideration.”

After listening to Chu Huainan's words, Nangong Li thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Although they had the space to ensure everything was foolproof, they absolutely could not say this to Chu Huainan, but they couldn't find a reason to persuade him for the time being.

Li Liuyun thought for a moment and said, "Since we can't enter the Prime Minister's residence, why not lure that old man out of the residence again? I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince can do that?"

Chu Huainan thought for a moment and said, "In two days, it will be the Flower Goddess Festival, which is held every three years in the Southern Frontier. All girls aged thirteen to eighteen can participate in the selection of the Flower Goddess! The Flower Goddess Festival is full of beauties, and the ten most beautiful girls will be selected to enter the palace to wait for the selection of the Flower Goddess!"

Moreover, Chu Batian and that old man will also attend that day to decide on the final Flower Goddess. After the Flower Goddess is chosen, everyone will return to the altar to perform the sacrifice!

That old bastard is incredibly lecherous; he's finally got his chance, so he's sure he won't miss it! How about we choose that day to make our move?

Firstly, on the day of the Flower Goddess Festival, all civil and military officials will be invited to the palace. We can split into two groups: one group will be responsible for holding off that old poisoner! I can write a letter requesting the Palace Master and the Holy Son to assist us. The other group will be responsible for searching the Prime Minister's residence and rescuing the trapped drug addicts! I wonder what Your Highness and Princess think?

Nangong Li and Li Liuyun exchanged a glance, and Li Liuyun spoke up: "How about the prince and I take charge of dealing with that poison master, while His Highness the Crown Prince assists the Holy Princess and the Holy Son in rescuing the medicine people from the Prime Minister's residence?"

Furthermore, this princess will gather all members of her sect to treat those medicine-using people. To prevent them from escaping and causing the plague to spread, an unused courtyard is needed as a medical facility!

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Chu Huainan asked with some surprise, "I have a secluded courtyard that can be used temporarily as a treatment center. May I ask where the princess's master is? Would you need my help to gather manpower?"

Li Liuyun smiled and shook his head: "No need. I am a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley. My master is the Valley Master, Zhuge Qingyi! I only need to give an order to the local Huichun Hall, and they will spread the news about me!"

"What? You are the disciple of the Valley Master of Divine Healer Valley? Then may I ask if the Princess knows someone named Zhang Nanfeng?"

Li Liuyun thought for a moment and then said, "I feel like I've heard the name Zhang Nanfeng somewhere before, but I can't quite place it right now. I wonder why Your Highness asks this question?"

After listening to Li Liuyun's words, Chu Huainan slowly said, "It's like this. A year ago, I saved a person. In order to repay the debt, this person agreed to stay in my manor for a year. It is said that this person is from the same school as the princess. I just heard the princess mention that she was a disciple of the Valley Master of the Divine Physician Valley. According to him, the physician in my manor is the eighth disciple of the Valley Master of the Divine Physician Valley. That's why I asked this question."

Upon hearing Chu Huainan's words, Li Liuyun awkwardly pulled out a small booklet from his pocket: "Your Highness, please wait a moment! Let me take a look. My master has too many disciples, and I am the youngest of the closed disciples, so there are too many senior brothers and sisters. I haven't met many of them, and I can't remember them all in a short time."

So my master wrote me a resume of my senior brothers and sisters, and told me to carry it with me so I could check it anytime. He asked me to find out if there was a senior brother named Zhang Nanfeng.
