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

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing's anxious expression, and his heart warmed. He held Lin Wanqing's hand and said softly, "Wanqing, I'm really fine. It's just a superficial wound."

"Skin injury?" Lin Wanqing stared at Lu Shengyuan with wide eyes. "With so much blood, how could it be just a skin injury?"

"Lin Wanqing, believe me, I'm really fine."

Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan's serious expression, and the panic in her heart calmed down a little.

"Okay, I believe you." She took a deep breath and said, "But you have to tell me, what is going on?"

Seeing Lin Wanqing's determined expression, Lu Shengyuan knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he told her what happened in the court today.

It turned out that when the emperor was in court today, an assassin broke into the court and attempted to assassinate him.

As a prince, Lu Shengyuan naturally could not sit idly by. He stepped forward to protect the emperor. Although the assassin was caught in the end, he was also injured.

"These assassins are so arrogant that they dare to assassinate in the court!"

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing's indignant expression and felt amused.

"Wanqing, you don't have to worry about these things. I will take care of them." He said softly, "You just need to take good care of me now and let me get better soon."

"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded, "I will take good care of you."

In the following days, Lin Wanqing stayed by Lu Shengyuan's side, taking care of him day and night.

Under her careful care, Lu Shengyuan's injuries gradually improved.

That night, when Lin Wanqing was about to rest, he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

She was startled and quickly put on her clothes and went out.

I saw Lu Shengyuan's yard surrounded by a group of guards, and Lu Shengyuan stood in the middle of the yard with a serious expression.

"Prince, what happened?" Lin Wanqing walked to Lu Shengyuan and asked anxiously.

When Lu Shengyuan saw Lin Wanqing, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Wanqing, why did you come out? Go back and rest."

"If you don't tell me, I can't sleep."

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing's determined expression and knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he whispered, "I just received news that those assassins were sent by a neighboring country."

"What!" Lin Wanqing's face changed drastically. "Why did they want to assassinate the emperor?"

"The specific reasons are still under investigation, but what is certain is that they must have some conspiracy."

Lu Shengyuan said solemnly, "And their target is likely more than just the emperor."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart tightened.

"My Lord, then aren't you in danger?"

"Wanqing, don't worry about me." Lu Shengyuan said softly, "I will handle it carefully."

"Then these people..." Lin Wanqing pointed at the guards around him, "Are they here to protect you?"

"Yes." Lu Shengyuan nodded. "After the emperor learned about this, he sent these people to protect me."

Lin Wanqing felt a little relieved when he heard this.

But soon, she became nervous again.

"Your Majesty, since they are coming for you, it's useless to protect only you."

"Besides, the palace is so big, they will definitely find a way to sneak in. We must increase our vigilance."

When Lu Shengyuan heard Lin Wanqing's words, his heart moved.

He didn't expect that Lin Wanqing could think of this.

"Wanqing, you are right." He said in a deep voice, "We can't rely on these guards alone. We must strengthen the security of the palace."

"I'll immediately arrange for patrols and defenses to be strengthened at the palace," Lu Shengyuan said to the guards beside him. "Also, notify the palace guards and security personnel to be on high alert and ensure the palace's safety."

"Yes, Your Highness." The guards took the order and left.

Lin Wanqing watched the guards leave, still feeling a little uneasy.

"Your Highness, the security of the palace will be handed over to you during this period of time." She looked at Lu Shengyuan and said.

"I have to go back and tell my parents about this. I want them to strengthen their security. It would be terrible if those assassins were to go crazy and attack my parents."

"Well, you go."

Lu Shengyuan nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."

"understood."

After Lin Wanqing finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

"Wanqing."

Lu Shengyuan suddenly called her.

"My Lord, is there anything else?"

Lin Wanqing turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"Lin Wan'er's matter...how do you plan to deal with it?" Lu Shengyuan was silent for a moment, but still asked.

He knew that Lin Wanqing had always treated Lin Wan'er as his own sister, but after this incident, their relationship might never be the same again.

"Ugh……"

When Lin Wanqing heard Lin Wan'er's name, he sighed heavily.

"She is my cousin after all, and blood is thicker than water. I can't do anything to her. As long as she doesn't do anything to hurt me in the future, I will turn a blind eye."

"Yeah." Lu Shengyuan nodded, "You decide."

"Then Your Highness, I'll go back first." After saying this, Lin Wanqing turned around and left the yard.

Watching Lin Wanqing's back disappear into the night, a complicated look flashed in Lu Shengyuan's eyes.

He knew that Lin Wanqing was kind-hearted, but this matter might not be that simple.

But since Lin Wanqing had already said so, he couldn't say anything more.

"I hope that after this incident, Lin Wan'er can truly repent."

He whispered something and turned back to the room.

It was already late at night when Lin Wanqing returned to the Lin Mansion.

But the lights in the Lin Mansion were still on, and it was obvious that Lin's father and mother had not yet gone to bed.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

When Mother Lin saw Lin Wanqing, she quickly came over and held her hand, "Why are you back? Did something happen in the palace?"

"Mom, don't worry, the palace is fine."

Lin Wanqing helped her mother sit down and said, "There are some other things I want to tell you."

Then, Lin Wanqing told her father and mother what Lu Shengyuan had told her.

After hearing what Lin Wanqing said, the expressions of Lin's father and mother became solemn.

"These assassins are so arrogant that they dare to assassinate in the court!"

Father Lin said angrily, "This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this!"

"Dad, don't get excited."

Lin Wanqing quickly advised, "The most important thing now is to strengthen the security of our Lin Mansion to ensure everyone's safety."

"you're right."

Father Lin nodded and said, "I will immediately arrange to strengthen the security of the mansion."

"I will also have people strengthen patrols between the Wang Mansion and the Lin Mansion to ensure the safety of both sides." Lin Wanqing added.

"Okay." Father Lin nodded. "Wanqing, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, Dad." Lin Wanqing nodded, "I'll take care of it."

Then, Lin Wanqing discussed some details with Lin's father and mother before returning to her room to rest.
