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

This matter will not end simply.

Now that the person behind the scenes has started taking action, he will not give up easily.

"Take Xiao Cui away and keep her under strict guard," he said in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to approach her without my permission."

"Yes." The guard responded and took Xiao Cui away.

Lu Shengyuan paced back and forth in the study, thinking about countermeasures.

The other party dared to poison the palace, so there must be a powerful force behind them.

He must handle it carefully and not take it lightly.

……

Lin Wanqing was lying on the bed, his face pale.

After the doctor's treatment, she has regained consciousness, but is still weak.

"Princess, how do you feel?" a maid asked softly.

"Much better." Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern."

"You are so kind, Princess." The maids said in unison, "As long as you can get better, we will be relieved."

Lin Wanqing felt warm in her heart, she knew that these maids really cared about her.

She has no relatives here, but they make her feel at home.

"Oh, right," she suddenly remembered something, "Where's the prince? Why didn't he come to see me?"

"The prince is in the study taking care of something," a maid replied. "He said he'll come see you when he's done."

"Oh." Lin Wanqing responded softly, feeling a little disappointed.

She knew he was busy, but she couldn't help but miss him a little.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Lin Wanqing was delighted, thinking that Lu Shengyuan had come.

She looked up and saw a strange woman walking in.

She was wearing luxurious clothes, pearls and jade on her head, and her face had exquisite makeup on.

You can tell at first glance that he is of extraordinary status.

"Who are you?" Lin Wanqing frowned slightly, "What are you doing here?"

"Are you Lin Wanqing?" The woman looked her up and down, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. "You look nothing more than this."

"I'm Lin Wanqing." Lin Wanqing said calmly, "Who are you?"

"I am the Princess of Huiyang," the woman said proudly. "I was personally conferred the title by the Emperor. I am much more noble than a princess like you."

Princess Huiyang?

Lin Wanqing was shocked. She didn't expect that this woman was actually Princess Huiyang.

She had long heard that Princess Huiyang was the emperor's biological sister, with a willful and unruly personality, and relied on the emperor's favor to act tyrannically in the capital.

Why did she come here?

"So it's Princess Huiyang," Lin Wanqing forced a smile. "I wonder what brings you here, Princess?"

"I heard you were poisoned," Princess Huiyang sneered, "I came here to see if you were dying."

"You..." Lin Wanqing's face changed, "How can you say that?"

"Hmph! Who do you think you are!" Princess Huiyang snorted, "How dare you snatch my man from me! Don't you even consider your own status? A lowly commoner, yet you dream of becoming a princess! You're like a toad dreaming of eating swan flesh!"

"I didn't steal your man..." Lin Wanqing explained, "The prince and I are truly in love..."

"Shut up!" Princess Huiyang interrupted her. "Stop pretending in front of me! Do you think I don't know what you're up to? Aren't you just coveting the splendor and wealth of the palace? I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you'll never succeed!"

Lin Wanqing's face turned pale. She didn't expect Princess Huiyang to be so arrogant and unreasonable.

"I didn't..." She tried to explain, but Princess Huiyang didn't listen at all.

"Shut up!" Princess Huiyang pointed at her and said, "You have no right to speak here! I'm telling you, I'm the prince's fiancée! Don't even think about getting in between us!"

"Fiancée?" Lin Wanqing was stunned.

She looked at Princess Huiyang and saw a smug smile on her face.

"That's right, fiancée!" Princess Huiyang said proudly, "The prince and I have been engaged since childhood. I am his princess! You bitch, how dare you seduce my man! I will kill you!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a dagger from her waist and stabbed Lin Wanqing fiercely.

Lin Wanqing screamed and tried to dodge, but her body could not move.

Just as the dagger was about to stab her, a figure suddenly flashed by and grabbed Princess Huiyang's wrist.

"Stop!" Lu Shengyuan shouted coldly.

He appeared in the room at some point, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Princess Huiyang was startled by him and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

"Your Highness..." she said in a trembling voice, "Why are you here..."

"If I don't come, won't you kill my princess?" Lu Shengyuan said coldly.

"Princess?" Princess Huiyang was stunned. "You said she is your princess?"

"Of course," Lu Shengyuan nodded, "She is the princess I married, Lin Wanqing."

"No... Impossible..." Princess Huiyang shook her head, "How could I not know!"

"So what?" Lu Shengyuan said calmly, "I have never acknowledged this marriage. In my heart, only Wanqing is my princess."

Princess Huiyang's face changed drastically, and she looked at Lu Shengyuan in disbelief.

"Your Highness, you...how can you say that..." she trembled, "We are engaged..."

"So what?" Lu Shengyuan sneered, "I never admitted it. It was just wishful thinking on your part."

"I..." Princess Huiyang was speechless. She looked at Lu Shengyuan with eyes full of resentment.

"Okay, very good!" She gritted her teeth and said, "Since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Lin Wanqing looked at her back and felt relieved.

She turned to look at Lu Shengyuan, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," she said softly.

"Silly girl," Lu Shengyuan patted her head, "You are my princess, how could I let you suffer any injustice?"

Lin Wanqing felt warm in her heart and leaned into his arms.

As long as he is around, she will never suffer any grievances again.

……

In the following days, Lin Wanqing gradually recovered under Lu Shengyuan's care.

Princess Huiyang did not cause trouble again, and the palace returned to its former tranquility.

However, Lin Wanqing felt vaguely uneasy.

Princess Huiyang will not give up so easily.

She must be planning something in secret.

Sure enough, not long after, something happened in the palace.

One morning, Lin Wanqing woke up and found that all the maids in her room were unconscious.

She was startled and quickly called for help.

However, the entire palace was silent, and no one responded.

Lin Wanqing felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

She walked out of the room and saw that the entire palace was empty, with no one in it.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Lin Wanqing turned around and saw Princess Huiyang coming over with a group of people.

"You..." Lin Wanqing's face changed, "What are you doing?"

"What for?" Princess Huiyang sneered, "Of course I'm here to arrest you, bitch!"
