The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing felt relieved and turned around to leave the flower viewing banquet with the palace maid.

She did not go back to the palace directly, but took a detour to the Imperial Garden.

In the imperial garden, there was silence, with only the sound of the breeze blowing through the treetops.

Lin Wanqing walked slowly in the garden with the palace maids, searching for Gu Shuangshuang's figure.

However, after searching for a long time, there was still no sign of Gu Shuangshuang.

Just when she was about to give up, a slight noise suddenly caught her attention.

She turned her head and saw a piece of clothing vaguely visible behind a rockery.

Lin Wanqing had an idea and signaled the palace maid to approach quietly.

As the distance got closer, she gradually saw the person behind the rockery - it was Gu Shuangshuang!

Gu Shuangshuang was squatting behind the rockery at this time, holding a small paper bag in her hand, with a proud look on her face.

She carefully opened the paper package, revealing some white powder inside.

"Now let's see how you fight me!" Gu Shuangshuang whispered to herself, with a hint of viciousness flashing in her eyes.

Lin Wanqing's heart sank as he watched this scene.

What exactly does Gu Shuangshuang want to do? And what is that white powder?

Her heart was filled with doubts and vigilance, but her face remained calm and indifferent.

At this moment, Gu Shuangshuang suddenly stood up, looked around cautiously, and then turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing had an idea and signaled the palace maid to follow quietly.

She wanted to see what Gu Shuangshuang wanted to do!

Gu Shuangshuang walked carefully along the way, looking back from time to time, as if afraid of being discovered.

Lin Wanqing and the palace maids followed quietly all the way, always keeping a certain distance.

Finally, Gu Shuangshuang came to a remote place near the palace wall where there was no one around.

She looked around, then suddenly turned around and quickly hid the paper bag in her hand in a gap in the palace wall.

After hiding it, she clapped her hands, a smug look on her face, then turned and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Lin Wanqing suddenly walked out from the darkness with the palace maids and blocked her way.

"Ms. Gu, it's so late, what are you doing here?" Lin Wanqing looked at her, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

When Gu Shuangshuang saw Lin Wanqing, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"It's Princess Lin. Why are you here so late instead of staying in the palace?"

She asked back, a hint of guilt and uneasiness in her voice.

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, his eyes as sharp as torches.

"Miss Gu, it's late at night. Neither you nor I are playful people, so why bother looking for fun? But your actions just now are quite suspicious."

Gu Shuangshuang's face froze, and then she forced herself to remain calm.

"Princess Lin, you're joking. I was just taking a casual walk. How could it be suspicious?"

The Queen's personal maid happened to pass by and saw this scene. She hurried forward to pay her respects.

"Princess Lin, Miss Gu, the Queen has not seen you two return yet, so she has sent this servant to look for you."

As soon as the name of the Queen was uttered, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

A trace of panic flashed across Gu Shuangshuang's face, but she quickly suppressed it.

"In that case, let's go back." She said, turned around and wanted to leave.

Lin Wanqing was one step faster than her and stood in front of her.

"Ms. Gu, you haven't given me a reasonable explanation for what happened just now." She stared at Gu Shuangshuang, her voice revealing a bit of firmness and majesty.

Gu Shuangshuang felt uneasy when she looked at her, and her eyes flickered.

"I... I was just taking a walk, it's really nothing." She explained stutteringly, her voice revealing a bit of guilt and uneasiness.

Lin Wanqing frowned slightly when she heard this. She knew that this was not the time to ask further questions.

"In that case, let's go back and report to the Queen." She said, turned around and left with the palace maid.

Seeing this, Gu Shuangshuang couldn't help but feel relieved, but at the same time, she felt a little uneasy and nervous.

She knew that today's incident would probably not end well.

Back at the flower-viewing banquet, the Queen raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the two return, but did not ask any further questions.

Lin Wanqing knew in his heart that this matter was of great importance and it was not appropriate to say more here.

So she bowed slightly to the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell and would like to take my leave first."

Upon hearing this, the Queen nodded and said, "In that case, you may withdraw first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing felt relieved and turned around to leave the flower viewing banquet with the palace maid.

After returning to the palace, she immediately told Lu Shengyuan what happened today.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan frowned and a serious look appeared on his face.

"This matter is of great importance and must be investigated immediately," he said in a deep voice.

Lin Wanqing nodded, his heart filled with worry and vigilance.

She knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would probably cause considerable trouble.

So she decided to investigate the matter herself and do her part to maintain peace in the palace.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. Lin Wanqing took a few trusted palace maids and eunuchs and quietly went to the imperial garden.

She found the rockery according to her memory and searched it carefully.

After some searching, she finally found the paper bag in the gap of the rockery.

She carefully opened the paper package, revealing some white powder inside.

Looking at the white powder, her heart sank.

What exactly are these things? Why do they concern Gu Shuangshuang so much?

She was filled with doubts and vigilance, and decided to tell Lu Shengyuan about this immediately.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came, breaking the tranquility of the imperial garden.

Lin Wanqing's heart moved, and he immediately hid the paper package in his sleeve, then turned around and looked.

Gu Shuangshuang was seen hurriedly approaching with several palace maids and eunuchs, her face full of anxiety.

When she saw Lin Wanqing, she was slightly stunned, but quickly regained her composure.

"Princess Lin, it's so late, what are you doing here?" She looked at Lin Wanqing, her voice revealing a hint of doubt and vigilance.

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly and said, "Isn't Miss Gu here too? I wonder what brings you here?"

Gu Shuangshuang's eyes flickered slightly when she heard this, and she said, "I was just taking a walk in the Imperial Garden and happened to pass by."

"Oh? Really?" Lin Wanqing raised his eyebrows and stared at her with sharp eyes.

Gu Shuangshuang felt uneasy when she looked at her, and her eyes flickered.

"If Princess Lin has nothing else to do, I'll leave first." She said, turning around and wanting to leave.

"Stop!" Lin Wanqing shouted, and with a flash of his body, he stood in front of her.

"Ms. Gu, you seem to have forgotten something." She stared at Gu Shuangshuang, her voice revealing a hint of majesty.

Gu Shuangshuang's face froze, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about." She stammered to explain, a hint of guilt in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing sneered.

"Don't know? Then how do you explain this thing?" As she spoke, she took out the paper bag from her sleeve and shook it in front of Gu Shuangshuang.

When Gu Shuangshuang saw the paper bag, her face turned pale instantly and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

"How...how do you get this?" she asked in a trembling voice.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself." Lin Wanqing looked at her coldly, his voice revealing a certain firmness and majesty. "Miss Gu, you'd better tell the truth."
