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

When she opened the door, she saw a woman in a pink dress kneeling on the ground, crying to Lu Shengyuan.

"Your Highness, please save my father! He was really wronged!" The woman cried bitterly, looking very sad.

Lin Wanqing looked at the woman and felt that she looked familiar.

"Who are you?" Lin Wanqing asked in a deep voice.

She was sure she had never seen this woman before.

"Princess, don't you remember me? I am Prime Minister Su's daughter Su Wan'er!" Su Wan'er said in surprise when she saw Lin Wanqing.

"Prime Minister Su's daughter?" Lin Wanqing frowned.

She remembered that Prime Minister Su was imprisoned for corruption and had not yet been executed.

"Yes! Princess, my father was wronged! Please plead with the prince and save my father!" Su Wan'er said as she was about to crawl to Lin Wanqing's feet.

Lin Wanqing dodged sideways and said coldly, "Your father was wronged, what does it have to do with me? You should go to the Dali Temple instead of coming to me!"

"But...but..." Su Wan'er stammered and couldn't speak.

She knew that what Lin Wanqing said made sense, but the only person she could turn to now was Lu Shengyuan.

"But what? Do you think the prince will bend the law for your sake?" Lin Wanqing said coldly.

She would not ask Lu Shengyuan for help for an irrelevant person.

"No... no, I just want the prince to help me find out the truth and clear my father's name." Su Wan'er explained quickly.

She knew that Lin Wanqing had misunderstood her meaning, and she just wanted Lin Wanqing to say something good about her.

"Finding out the truth is the Dali Temple's business, not the prince's." Lin Wanqing said lightly.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Princess, please help me! I'm really at my wit's end!" Su Wan'er suddenly hugged Lin Wanqing's legs and cried loudly.

Lin Wanqing frowned. She didn't expect Su Wan'er to be so bold!

"Let go!" Lin Wanqing said coldly.

She didn't like anyone touching her, let alone a strange woman.

"I won't let go! Unless the princess agrees to help me!" Su Wan'er said stubbornly.

She knew this was her only chance and she couldn't give up.

"You..." Lin Wanqing was about to get angry when she was interrupted by Lu Shengyuan.

"Enough!" Lu Shengyuan said in a deep voice.

He didn't expect Su Wan'er to pester Lin Wanqing so much.

"Your Highness, please make the decision for me!" Su Wan'er saw Lu Shengyuan as if she had seen a savior.

"Enough! Didn't I say that the study is a restricted area and no one is allowed to trespass?" Lu Shengyuan said coldly.

He doesn't like others interrupting him when he is talking, and he doesn't like seeing women crying.

"Your Highness, I know I shouldn't have trespassed into the study, but I'm really desperate! Please save my father!" Su Wan'er pleaded.

She knew she had gone a little too far this time, but she had no choice.

"Miss Su, I understand that you are eager to save your father, but you cannot violate my rules!" Lu Shengyuan said coldly.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the guards beside him and said, "Come here, take Miss Su away. No one is allowed to enter the study without my order!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" After the guard said this, he was about to step forward and take Su Wan'er away.

"No! I won't leave! Prince, you can't do this to me!" Su Wan'er struggled and shouted.

She didn't expect Lu Shengyuan to be so ruthless!

"Take her away!" Lu Shengyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and gave the order directly.

"Yes!" the guard said, and forcibly took Su Wan'er away.

Lin Wanqing looked at this scene, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

She felt that Lu Shengyuan handled the situation quite well.

"Your Highness, I'll take my leave first." After saying this, Lin Wanqing was about to leave the study.

"Princess, please stay." Lu Shengyuan suddenly called her.

"Your Highness, is there anything else?" Lin Wanqing turned around and asked lightly.

"I have something to tell you." Lu Shengyuan said as he walked up to Lin Wanqing.

"Your Highness, please speak." Lin Wanqing said.

She wanted to hear what Lu Shengyuan had to say to her.

"I know you don't like Su Wan'er, but she is the daughter of Prime Minister Su, and I cannot ignore her reputation." Lu Shengyuan said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I don't dislike Miss Su." Lin Wanqing said lightly.

She really didn't like Su Wan'er, but she wouldn't show it.

"Alright." Lu Shengyuan nodded. "I just hope you get along well with Miss Su and don't let her suffer any injustice in the palace."

"I'll do my best." Lin Wanqing said.

She doesn't make promises casually, after all, she is not a saint.

"There is one more thing. I hope you can do me a favor." Lu Shengyuan changed the subject.

"What help?" Lin Wanqing frowned.

"I hope you can accompany Xia Yiyi to the Huguo Temple." Lu Shengyuan said.

"Xia Yiyi?" Lin Wanqing frowned. "She's not a princess, so why is she so impressive that she needs a princess to accompany her?"

"After all, she is the prince's cousin, and I am worried about her safety in the palace." Lu Shengyuan explained.

"But the Huguo Temple is so far away, I'm afraid I can't take good care of you." Lin Wanqing refused.

She is not a saint who takes on tasks for herself, which are thankless.

"I know you have the ability to protect her, so I asked you to accompany her." Lu Shengyuan was very confident in Lin Wanqing's strength.

After all, she is the daughter of a general.

"Your Highness really overestimates me. I am just a weak woman. How can I protect the princess?" Lin Wanqing said lightly.

She would not agree to Lu Shengyuan's request lightly.

"Princess, there is no need to be so modest. I know you well," said Lu Shengyuan.

There was a glint of reminiscence in his eyes, as if he was remembering something that happened long ago.

At that time, Lu Shengyuan knew that Lin Wanqing was not simple.

That is why he married her as his princess.

"Your Majesty..."

"Okay, it's settled now. Go down and prepare. We'll set off in three days." Lu Shengyuan interrupted Lin Wanqing.

"Your Highness!" Lin Wanqing stopped him, "Can I ask why it must be me who goes?"

"Because I believe in you." Lu Shengyuan answered straightforwardly.

After he said that, he left the study without looking back.

Lin Wanqing looked at his back with confusion in her eyes.

Your Majesty, do you have a secret?

But since he didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask any more questions.

After leaving the study, Lin Wanqing returned to his own yard.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her mind full of thoughts.

She knew that Lu Shengyuan's purpose in asking her to accompany Xia Yiyi to Huguo Temple must be not simple.

But she also knew his temper. If he didn't want to talk about something, no matter who asked him, it would be useless.

Lin Wanqing sighed. She felt as if she was involved in something serious.

Although she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, she wasn't stupid.

She had to find a way to protect herself.

"Green bamboo." Lin Wanqing called out.

"Princess." Qingzhu pushed the door open and walked in. "What do you want?"

"Go and help me check Xia Yiyi's background." Lin Wanqing ordered.

"Yes." Qingzhu accepted the order and was about to leave.

"Wait." Lin Wanqing stopped her again, "Help me find out what the prince has been busy with recently, especially what's related to the crown prince."

"Princess?" Qingzhu looked at her in surprise.

"Don't ask so many questions, just do it." Lin Wanqing said lightly.

Although Qingzhu was confused, he still obeyed the order and left.

Lin Wanqing leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

Although she didn't want to get involved in these fights, she also knew that it was not easy to protect herself.

She has to find a way to protect herself in order to survive this fight.

Three days later, Lin Wanqing took Xia Yiyi and a group of guards and left the palace and headed for the Huguo Temple.

Along the way, Xia Yiyi took good care of Lin Wanqing, calling her "sister" affectionately.

"Sister, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Xia Yiyi asked tenderly.

"I'm not tired." Lin Wanqing replied calmly.

She didn't like Xia Yiyi's hypocrisy, but she wouldn't show it.

"Sister, are you thirsty? I brought some top-quality Longjing tea for you to try." Xia Yiyi said as she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wanqing took the teacup, took a sip, and threw it away.

"Oh, sister, what's wrong with you?" Xia Yiyi asked in surprise.
