When Lu Qi woke up in the morning, he heard the system prompt that the task was completed.

He stretched and got up immediately.

As the new princess consort of Prince Duan, she needs to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother today.

However, Prince Duan's Mansion didn't seem to care about him. At this hour, no one came to help him wash and change clothes.

Lu Qizhi had anticipated this situation, so he took a pill, changed his appearance, and then pushed open the door of the room.

There were two guards guarding outside the door, and it was unclear whether they were protecting Lu Qizhi's safety or watching over him.

"princess."

The two guards nodded respectfully to Lu Qizhi.

"I need to wash and change, go get ready now."

The two guards were stunned and looked at each other.

The prince only asked them to stay here and they were not responsible for anything else.

"Why are you still standing there? Don't you listen to what the princess says?"

Lu Qizhi spoke coldly.

"Yes, Princess. I'll have someone prepare it right away." A guard spoke. He said a few words to another guard and left immediately.

Lu Qizhi glanced at the guard who stayed behind, turned around and closed the door.

Soon a maid brought toiletries. After Lu Qizhi accepted the maid's service, she put on an expensive dress.

"Put on some delicate makeup for me. I have to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother today." Lu Qizhi said.

The maid who was putting makeup on Lu Qizhi paused, as if she had never heard of this matter, but since Lu Qizhi said so, she, a maidservant, did not dare to say anything more.

After Lu Qizhi's makeup was done, all the maids left.

Lu Qizhi stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by the guards at the gate.

"Princess, the prince has ordered that you cannot leave this place."

Lu Qizhi finally understood where the maids' strange looks came from. Lin Hejin was such a bastard. He had put her under house arrest here just after she got married.

Did he really think that Lu Qizhi was a dough that Lin Hejin could shape or flatten at will?

"Where is Lin Hejin? I want to see him!"

Lu Qizhi's tone was displeased.

"The prince is handling important matters in the study. If you want to see him, I will go and inform him for you right away." said the guard.

"No need, I'll go see him myself."

"Princess, you can't leave here..."

"boom--"

It was Lu Qizhi's fist that responded to the guard.

Lin Hejin was in the study at the moment, and in front of him was a man wearing a hat and a mask.

"How are things going?"

"Your Highness, the bait has been sprinkled, and we are just waiting for the fish to take the bait."

"That's fine. Keep an eye on it and be careful not to get discovered or alert the enemy."

"Lin Hejin!!!"

A woman's voice was heard outside the door, shouting with a hint of anger.

Lin Hejin's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked the masked man to leave through the window.

The next moment, the study door was kicked open with great force.

The sunlight from outside came in, and a woman in gorgeous clothes with her back to the light appeared in front of Lin Hejin.

It was the princess he had just married yesterday.

How could he come?

Lin Hejin had two people guarding him and not allowing him to leave the bridal chamber.

The guards who followed behind arrived late and quickly knelt down to apologize to Lin Hejin: "Your Majesty, I really can't stop the princess."

Lin Hejin looked at the two guards kneeling on the ground, each of them with a bruised face and nose, obviously beaten up by Lu Qizhi.

These two guards are among the best in martial arts among Lin Hejin's guards. In order to prevent Lu Qizhi from being assassinated, they were specially sent to protect him.

The two of them couldn't beat Lu Qizhi.

Haha, his princess is really interesting!
