Chapter 36 Betrayal of the Third Prince

The third prince only hoped that his second brother would work harder and find the woman as soon as possible and bring her over.

Unexpectedly, in such a gap, Wen Xiuting would approach Wanyuan Sect privately.

"I wonder why the prime minister's son is waiting at my residence? But do we have anything important to discuss?" Wan Yuanzong nodded politely, but the natural domineering look of a man who practiced martial arts for many years gave people a sense of oppression.

Wen Xiuting was deep in thought and turned a blind eye to this sense of oppression.

Pretending to sigh deeply, "I heard that Master Wanshan lost his daughter some time ago. Is this the case?"

As soon as he heard that it was related to his daughter, Wan Yuanzong ignored the etiquette and stepped forward to grab the other party's wrist and ask.

"Do you know my daughter Wan Yan? Do you know if she is safe now? And where is she?"

Wen Xiuting hesitantly sighed again and again, which frightened Wan Yuanzong and made him extremely anxious and irritable.

"Master Wen, don't sigh! What happened to my daughter?"

Seeing that the other party was anxious, Wen Xiuting pretended to be helpless and said, "I did meet a little girl named Wan, but I don't know if she is your daughter."

Although he didn't know the other party's name and appearance, Wan Yuanzong had already determined that she was his daughter.

"Great, then is she in serious trouble? Where is she now?"

Having said this, Wen Xiuting suddenly stopped again, and Wan Yuanzong was so anxious that he almost demolished the house.

"Master Wen, tell me quickly, are you going to die in a hurry?"

Wen Xiuting looked like he had made a major decision, and then he said: "Now that things have happened, I don't care much anymore. Seeing that your loving father is so worried, I really can't hide it anymore. Your daughter I’m afraid I’ll be sent to a prostitution house!”

"I don't know whether your daughter is dead or alive at the moment, and I have no way of knowing. The owner behind the prostitution racket is full of powerful people in the court, and may even be a prince."

As a father, upon hearing such words, Wan Yuanzong felt like he was struck by thunder.

And after hearing him say that the person behind the prostitution house was probably a prince.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the third prince had a strange expression some time ago and asked him about his daughter's voice and smile.

At that time, he thought that the third prince wanted to help him find his daughter, but now it seemed that he wanted to confirm whether his people had captured his child?

Wan Yuanzong seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He took a few steps back and fell heavily on the chair.

"Master Wanshan, you must take good care of your health!"

Wan Yuanzong tried hard to accept this matter, but he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart. Maybe that was not his daughter at all?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly found a portrait of his daughter.

"Mr. Wen, please take a look. Did the girl you saw draw this?"

No matter what kind of girl she was at this time, Wen Xiuting would of course say yes, but he didn't speak, but nodded heavily with a miserable look.

"Master Wanshan, I was lucky enough to see your daughter. I accidentally discovered it when I was choosing Lady Baihua some time ago."

"At that time, there was a fire on Baihua Street, and your daughter, who was skilled in martial arts, happened to escape from the prostitute's garden, and I was lucky enough to meet her." "It's just that I don't have any status in the court. Although it sounds like He has the status of an imperial uncle, but after all, the princes are not born of the queen, and I..."

Sometimes words do not explain, but can lead to unlimited speculation.

There was indeed a fire in Baihua Street, but he had not seen thousands of smoke. Sometimes a word that was half true or half false would win people's trust even more.

At this moment, Wan Yuanzong fell into this trap. After wailing, he knelt on the ground in pain.

"Yan'er! As a father, I really feel sorry for you. You were harmed by others, but your father is with the enemy!"

When he said this, Wan Yuanzong stood up and was about to rush out to avenge his daughter, but was stopped by Wen Xiuting.

"Master Wanshan, what are you going to do? Do you want to harm the third prince? Don't forget, he is a member of the royal family. If he dies here, all your disciples in the mountain sect will be killed?"

This sentence instantly made Wan Yuanzong calm down. As the owner of Wanhe Mountain, he must not harm everyone because of his own selfishness.

"Master Wanshan, if you really want to take revenge, I can help you, but you must calm down first!"

Wan Yuanzong was completely dazzled by hatred at this moment, and he would believe whatever the other party said.

"I can help you, but why do you want to help me take revenge? You are a relative of the emperor."

"Your sister is the current queen. No matter which prince ascends the throne, you will have glory and wealth. Do you dare to risk the world's disapproval for a charlatan like me?"

When he said this, Wen Xiuting couldn't help but lamented again.

"Master Wanshan, do you know that it is not easy to be a relative of the emperor? I am obviously rich in economics, but I dare not become an official in the court. Why do you think that, just because my father is the prime minister of the court? My relatives are too powerful, and the emperor I was jealous, so I wasted half my life."

"In recent years, the emperor favors the imperial concubine and hates my eldest sister. As the mother of the prince, she can't even speak a word in the palace. As a younger brother, how can I swallow this?"

"Besides, those three princes are all stupid and immoral. They do a good job on the surface, but in fact they are trying to siphon off the people's wealth and support."

"The uncle of the third prince sold counterfeit medicine some time ago, killing countless people. The court spent a lot of effort to suppress this matter, without caring about the lives of the people!"

After hearing these words, Wan Yuanzong completely believed him, so he asked: "What does Mr. Wen want me to do?"

"Simple, as long as you drastically reduce the amount of Artemisia annua, and stock up a large amount of Artemisia annua, don't give it all to the third prince."

When Wan Yuanzong heard this, he suddenly felt unbearable. If there was no medicine, those people would be in ruins.

"Master Wen's move will kill those people. The people are innocent!"

"Master Wanshan, don't worry. This disease won't kill anyone for a while. You just need to stockpile the medicinal materials. The third prince's relief is just to gain a false reputation."

"After he couldn't get the medicine, I pretended to be myself and found these two medicinal materials from other places to treat the people. This way, the people will not get into trouble and the third prince will not be able to succeed."

Wan Yuanzong thought for a while and finally nodded and agreed. However, he was still worried about the people. He had asked several times before and repeatedly confirmed that short-term withdrawal of the medicine would not kill anyone.

So a few days later, Wan Yuanzong hurriedly found the third prince and said that the medicinal materials in his mountain had been completely exhausted.
