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

"Splash water on them to wake them up and continue beating them!" Lin Wanqing said expressionlessly.

She just doesn't believe that these people can keep being stubborn!

The guard took the order and left, but returned not long after: "Princess, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Lin Wanqing frowned.

"Those people...all committed suicide by taking poison." Pei'er said.

When Lin Wanqing heard this, she was shocked and stood up and walked outside.

In the yard, those people were lying on the ground in a mess, with black blood still at the corners of their mouths.

Pei'er walked forward and sniffed her breath: "Princess, they are all dead."

Lin Wanqing looked at the corpse on the ground and remained silent for a long time.

Who are these people?

Why did you come to assassinate her?

Who ordered this?

"Princess, what should we do with these people?" asked the guard.

"Throw them into a mass grave," Lin Wanqing said. "Also, don't let this matter get out. If I hear any rumors, you will be the ones to hold them accountable!"

"Yes, Princess." The guard took the order and left.

Lin Wanqing looked at the corpse on the ground and felt uneasy.

These people were able to bribe servants to poison people in the restaurant without anyone noticing, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Who on earth has such a deep hatred for them that he wants to kill her?

As Lin Wanqing was thinking, she suddenly felt dizzy.

She hurriedly grabbed the wall next to her to steady herself.

"Pei'er, help me back to my room." Lin Wanqing said.

Pei'er hurried forward to support Lin Wanqing and walked towards the bedroom.

Back in the room, Lin Wanqing lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

The images of those people who refused to speak out and committed suicide by taking poison kept appearing in my mind, and I felt annoyed.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

Lin Wanqing immediately sat up alertly and shouted, "Who?"

The door was pushed open and a tall figure walked in.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Lin Wanqing asked after seeing who it was.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, frowning slightly: "I heard that you encountered an assassin, so I came to see you."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart warmed slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine now."

"I'm glad you're alright," Lu Shengyuan said, "Do you need my help?"

"Your Highness, can you help me check the identities of these people?" Lin Wanqing asked.

She really couldn't figure out who she had offended to be so cruel.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I will help you find out."

Lin Wanqing felt relieved when he heard this.

Lu Shengyuan is a prince, so it should be much easier for him to investigate these things than for her.

"Then Your Majesty..." Lin Wanqing said, "What should we do with these people?"

"I've already had them thrown into a mass grave," Lu Shengyuan said, "I'll take care of this matter."

Lin Wanqing nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"You are too polite, Princess," Lu Shengyuan said, "I have something else to attend to, so I will be leaving first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

"Your Highness!" Lin Wanqing suddenly shouted.

Lu Shengyuan stopped and looked back at her: "Anything else?"

"Your Highness..." Lin Wanqing hesitated, "Forget it, it's nothing. Goodbye, Your Highness."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her with deep eyes, but in the end he said nothing and turned to leave the room.

At noon the next day, Lu Shengyuan came to Lin Wanqing's courtyard.

"Your Highness, what did you find out?" Lin Wanqing asked excitedly.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her and said, "Those people are not assassins, but ordinary people."

"People?" Lin Wanqing frowned. "Why would they want to assassinate me?"

"I don't know either," Lu Shengyuan said. "I've already sent someone to check their identities. I'm sure there will be news soon."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Wanqing said.

"I found out that their parents suddenly disappeared," Lu Shengyuan said again, "They must have been used by someone."

Lin Wanqing was shocked when she heard this: "Being used by someone?"

"That's right," Lu Shengyuan nodded. "I will continue to investigate this matter and will definitely give you an explanation."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing felt a little relieved: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"During this period, I will send more people to protect your safety," Lu Shengyuan said, "I will leave first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

"Your Highness!" Lin Wanqing suddenly shouted.

Lu Shengyuan stopped and looked back at her: "Anything else?"

"Your Highness..." Lin Wanqing hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, can you tell me the truth after you find it out?"

"Okay." Lu Shengyuan nodded and turned to leave.

Lin Wanqing looked at his back, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

The prince actually agreed to her request.

A warm feeling surged in Lin Wanqing's heart.

Although there was no affection between her and Lu Shengyuan, she was still very happy that he cared about her at this time.

For the next few days, Lin Wanqing stayed in the mansion and did not go out.

Lu Shengyuan sent guards to report on the progress of the investigation every day, but there was still no progress.

That day, Lin Wanqing was feeding the fish in the yard when Pei'er hurried in: "Princess, the prince is here."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart moved and she stood up and walked out.

"Your Highness, have you found out anything?" Lin Wanqing asked.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her and said, "I have found some clues, but I am not sure yet."

"What clue?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"I have found out that the parents of those people were abducted by a mysterious person," Lu Shengyuan said, "but I have not yet found their hiding place."

"What should we do then?" Lin Wanqing became anxious when he heard this.

"I've already had people continue their investigation," Lu Shengyuan said, "I believe they'll find it soon."

"What about those people..." Lin Wanqing asked.

"Their parents were captured, and they had no choice," Lu Shengyuan said. "I have already had them buried."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Wanqing said.

"I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first." Lu Shengyuan said.

Lin Wanqing nodded: "Goodbye, Your Highness."

She always felt that this matter was not that simple.

That night, Lin Wanqing suddenly heard a noise coming from the yard.

"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"

Lin Wanqing was startled and quickly put on her clothes, got out of bed and opened the door.

There was chaos in the courtyard and the guards were chasing the assassin.

Lin Wanqing was startled and turned back to her room and closed the door.

She sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the noise outside, feeling a little scared.

"Princess, are you okay?" Pearl's voice sounded outside the door.

"I'm fine," Lin Wanqing said, "Come in."
