Time passed quickly and it was already April. Wei Zhong was turning his attention to the court again. His colleagues were interacting closely with each other, as if they were all sent by the prince.

Wei Bingyan was worried that Wei Zhong would do the same as before, obeying the prince's orders in everything and forgetting his own duties. The world now belongs to His Majesty, and His Majesty should take the lead in everything. Even though Wei Zhong's performance was under His Majesty's silent approval and complete control, she could not take the risk. The emperor was moody and who could know what His Majesty would think the next second?

The more he thought about this, the more he felt that the old man's decision was correct. With Wei Zhong's stubborn and self-righteous character, he would get into trouble sooner or later.

In the previous life, she was able to survive two years safely with the old man's strong support. Her fabrication of solid evidence to accuse him was just a fuse. Perhaps by that time the new emperor had already wanted to take action against the entire Wei family.

After being anxious and irritable at home for a few days, Manager Xu finally sent a message saying that Wang Tianbao would be waiting for her at Guan's Pharmacy the next day.

The next day, Wei Bingyan took Aunt Yin out through an inconspicuous little door. After getting on the carriage, she immediately asked Aunt Yin to change her face and disguise herself as an ordinary-looking man.

When they arrived at Guan's pharmacy, Shopkeeper Xu was unable to recognize them and thought they were just customers who came to get medicine for their illnesses. It was not until Aunt Yin secretly reminded him that Shopkeeper Xu discovered them. He probably knew the purpose of Wei Bingyan and the others' disguises, so he did not have the courage to show it to the public. He just politely invited the two customers into the inner room.

"Miss Wei, please wait, Young Master Wang will be here soon." Shopkeeper Xu glanced at Wei Bingyan and couldn't help but think to himself that he was also from Guanzhuang, but he couldn't recognize that the young woman next to him was the charming Miss Wei. It seemed that Aunt Yin's face-changing skills had improved again.

Wei Bingyan expressed her gratitude to Shopkeeper Xu with a smile, and specifically asked Guan Hualang, "I haven't heard from my senior brother for a few days. I wonder when he will come to the capital?"

"This...it's hard for me to say. The young master has always been alone, and even the owner of the manor sometimes doesn't know where he is." Shopkeeper Xu replied. He also felt a headache when he mentioned their young master.

"If he didn't cause any trouble, why would he be forcibly imprisoned in the farm by the master now?" An unpleasant voice came from behind Shopkeeper Xu.

The three people in the room looked over at the same time and saw a tall and slender young man with an ordinary look, the kind that would be hard to distinguish if he stood in the crowd.

With Wei Bingyan's experience as a lesson, Shopkeeper Xu naturally knew who the visitor was, "Master Wang."

The prince knew that Wang Tianbao and Li Yuyan were fellow apprentices, but he believed Wang Tianbao's excuse and thought that Wang Tianbao was dissatisfied with the fact that the owner of Guan Manor protected his son and nephew, so he severed ties with Guan Manor and attached himself to the prince, hoping to gain higher interests and benefits.

"Second brother, you're finally here." Wei Bingyan stood up and looked at Wang Tianbao with a smile. Looking at Wang Tianbao after his face changed, she didn't feel much of an eye shock and felt even more free.

Wang Tianbao, who did not change his expression, was so handsome that every move he made made him look like a disaster for the country and the people. Even if she had no other thoughts about him, she could not help but be attracted to him.

Wang Tianbao looked at Wei Bingyan and smiled honestly, "What do you want to talk to me about, Junior Sister?"

Shopkeeper Xu had already left, taking the door with him.

Wei Bingyan poured a cup of tea for Wang Tianbao, "What did Second Senior Brother mean just now? Why did Master Guan want to imprison our eldest senior brother?"

"It was all Haoyue's fault. He didn't know who he offended, and the other party actually asked Fengmanlou to rob and kill him. If it weren't for the fact that Master Guan had some status in the martial arts world, he would have been chopped into pieces long ago." Wang Tianbao said coldly.

He naturally knew that Guan Hualang went to Haoyue for him, but he had completely forgotten about the matter of Haoyue. Why should he stir up trouble? What if it ruined his business in the Prince's Mansion?

"Feng Manlou?" Wei Bingyan looked at Wang Tianbao in surprise. She had heard of Feng Manlou before. It was an assassin organization that made people tremble with fear in the martial arts world. As long as they could afford to pay silver, they would have the courage to kill anyone.

Wang Tianbao seemed to be in a bad mood. He pursed his lips tightly. Deep down, he was actually very worried about Guan Hualang, but he didn't show it. "With Master here, nothing will happen to him. On the contrary, it's Junior Sister, you came to me, but what rumors have you heard?"

Wei Bingyan was slightly stunned. "I came to you just to ask about the cause of the death of Prince Chu. You are someone close to the prince. Could it be that the prince has no doubts about this matter?"

"It seems that you haven't heard what others say. In the past few days, someone has spread the rumor that the death of Prince Chu is related to the Crown Prince, and that the Crown Prince dispatched people to secretly assassinate Prince Chu." The Crown Prince was furious because of such a rumor and ordered him to find the seriously injured person.

"Is it related to the Crown Prince?" Wei Bingyan smiled slightly. "How could it be possible? No matter how stupid the Crown Prince is, he would not touch the Crown Prince of Chu... Someone is sincerely framing and slandering the Crown Prince!"

Wang Tianbao let out a dark smile. "This guy just wants the Duke of Chu to regard the Crown Prince as the murderer of his son. The death of the Crown Prince of Chu was too strange. He is indeed easy to be taken advantage of."

Wei Bingyan said, "Marquis Chu is not a fool. He naturally knows that the prince has no reason to do this. Oh, and that brothel girl should be in the capital in a few days. Then we can ask her about it clearly."

"How could the prince have no reason to kill the Prince of Chu? Old Man Wei and the Marquis of Chu have frequent interactions, and their children are in-laws. The prince has doubts about the old man, and naturally he will not watch the Wei and Chu families become inseparable in-laws. So he secretly kills the Prince of Chu and destroys the marriage between the Wei and Chu families. This is a stupid thing... The prince will definitely do it." Wang Tianbao said.

"Father... doesn't know about this yet..." Wei Bingyan was dumbfounded. Could it be that her suspicion was wrong, and it wasn't Shen Rouruo who was causing trouble behind the scenes, but the prince?

"That's because the prince suppressed the matter, but it will soon spread out." A hint of coldness flashed across Wang Tianbao's eyes.

Wei Bingyan lowered her voice, "Second Senior Brother, this matter is not about the Crown Prince, right?"

"No matter if it's him or not, it must be him!" Wang Tianbao glanced at Wei Bingyan. Even though Wei Zhong was on the side of the prince, he didn't want to hide his resentment towards the prince in front of his junior sister.

Wei Bingyan had heard Li Yuyan talk about Wang Village a long time ago, so she naturally knew the clear resentment in Wang Tianbao's tone. She curved her lips and smiled, "Perhaps through this incident, my Wei family can successfully get rid of the relationship with the prince from now on."

Wang Tianbao was surprised when he saw Wei Bingyan's sudden brilliant smile.
