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

These people actually wanted to kill her.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her fear and anger, and continued listening.

"Then how long do we have to wait?" the previous voice asked again.

"It's almost there, it's almost there." The deep voice sneered, "When the prince goes to war, that's when we'll take action."

"The prince is going to war?" Lin Wanqing's heart moved.

She remembered that Lu Shengyuan seemed to be preparing for an expedition recently.

Could it be that these people wanted to attack her while he was away?

Lin Wanqing's heart was filled with anger and murderous intent.

She wanted to rush out immediately and pull these people out, but reason told her that now was not the time.

She had to hold back and wait for her opportunity.

Lin Wanqing quietly left the garden and returned to her room.

She sat at the table, with complicated emotions surging in her heart.

Who wants to harm her? Her?

Lin Wanqing decided to find Lu Shengyuan and tell him about this.

She went to Lu Shengyuan's study and told him what she had heard in the garden.

After listening to this, Lu Shengyuan frowned.

"Are you sure this is what you heard?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Sure." Lin Wanqing nodded, "I won't hear it wrong."

Lu Shengyuan was silent for a moment, then slammed the table.

"Asshole! How dare someone set their sights on you!" he shouted angrily. "Don't worry, I will definitely find these people and tear them into pieces!"

"Also..." He looked at Lin Wanqing, "You just said that they were going to take advantage of my absence to attack?"

"Yes." Lin Wanqing nodded, "That's what they said."

"Going to war?" Lu Shengyuan sneered, "When did I ever say I was going to war?"

"Ah?" Lin Wanqing was stunned.

She remembered that Lu Shengyuan had indeed mentioned going on an expedition before.

"My current physical condition is not suitable for going on the expedition." Lu Shengyuan said, "Who are those people?"

Lin Wanqing shook her head: "I don't know."

"I don't know..." Lu Shengyuan repeated her words and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

"My Lord, something bad has happened!"

Lu Shengyuan frowned and walked out.

Lin Wanqing also hurriedly followed him out.

Outside the door, a group of servants were standing in panic.

"What's going on?" Lu Shengyuan asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, a body was found in the well in the backyard... in the backyard!" a servant stammered.

"What?" Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing were both surprised.

They hurried to the backyard and saw a well surrounded by people.

Lu Shengyuan pushed through the crowd and walked over.

I saw corpses floating in the well.

The body had been rotted beyond recognition and the face could not be seen.

"Who... who is this?" Lu Shengyuan asked.

"No...I don't know." The servants all shook their heads.

"Go and call the coroner." Lu Shengyuan ordered.

Soon, the coroner arrived.

After an examination, he said, "Your Majesty, this body has been dead for many days. It was drowned."

"Drowned?" Lu Shengyuan frowned. "Have you found out his identity?"

"The body is beyond recognition and cannot be identified." The coroner shook his head. "However, judging by the clothes, it should be a woman."

"Woman?" Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, "Is there a woman missing in the mansion?"

Lin Wanqing shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."

"Go and investigate this matter thoroughly," Lu Shengyuan ordered. "Also, don't let anything happen tonight leak out."

"Yes." The servants responded quickly.

Lin Wanqing looked at the corpse in the well, with complicated emotions surging in his heart.

Who could this woman be?

Why was she drowned in the well?

Could it be that she is related to the person who wants to harm her?

Lin Wanqing decided to get to the bottom of this matter.

The next day, Lu Shengyuan began to investigate the woman's drowning.

He questioned the servants in the mansion and checked the records in the mansion, but found nothing.

That woman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Lin Wanqing also joined the investigation. She carefully recalled every detail of her experience since arriving at the palace, trying to find some clues.

However, she found nothing.

At this time, Xia Yiyi suddenly came to her.

"Sister Lin, I heard something happened in the mansion?" she asked as she entered the door.

"You're quite well-informed." Lin Wanqing said, "Something did happen, but it's been resolved."

"Is it really resolved?" Xia Yiyi was a little skeptical. "I heard that a body was found in the well in the backyard."

"It's true." Lin Wanqing nodded, "However, the prince has already sent people to investigate. I believe they will find out the truth soon."

"Oh..." Xia Yiyi nodded, "Then I feel relieved."

She looked at Lin Wanqing, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wanqing asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"No...it's okay." Xia Yiyi shook her head, "I just came to see you."

"Look at me?" Lin Wanqing was stunned. "What's so good about me?"

"Of course." Xia Yiyi smiled, "Sister Lin is so beautiful, everyone wants to take a second look at her."

As she spoke, she reached out to pull Lin Wanqing's arm.

"Sister Lin, can you accompany me to walk in the garden?"

Lin Wanqing wanted to refuse, but seeing Xia Yiyi's expectant look, he swallowed the words of refusal back.

"Okay." She nodded, "Let's go for a walk."

The two came to the garden and walked side by side.

"Sister Lin, what do you think of the palace?" Xia Yiyi asked.

"It's not bad." Lin Wanqing said calmly, "It's not quite what I imagined."

"What's the difference?" Xia Yiyi asked curiously.

"Everything is different." Lin Wanqing said, "I thought the palace would be magnificent and splendid, but I didn't expect it to be so deserted."

"Yeah." Xia Yiyi nodded, "I think so too."

She looked at Lin Wanqing, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

"Sister Lin, you are so lucky." She said, "To marry a man like the prince is what many women dream of."

"Lucky?" Lin Wanqing sneered, "Do you think this is lucky?"

"Of course." Xia Yiyi nodded. "The prince is powerful and handsome. Which woman wouldn't want to marry him?"

"What about you?" Lin Wanqing looked at her, "Do you want to marry him too?"

"I..." Xia Yiyi was stunned, then lowered her head with a blush.

"Sister Lin, please don't talk nonsense." She whispered, "I... I just treat the prince as my brother."

"Oh? Really?" Lin Wanqing looked at her with a half-smile, "I thought you liked him."

"No... that's not true." Xia Yiyi quickly denied, "I really just think of him as a brother."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Lin Wanqing said with a smile, "However, the prince is indeed an excellent man, it's just..."
