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

She knew that she couldn't panic at this time, and she couldn't reveal any flaws.

"Your Highness, I have no need to prove myself." Lin Wanqing's voice was firm and powerful. "As a princess, I enjoy the prince's favor, and I have my own property and wealth. Why would I harm the old lady?"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly when she heard this: "You mean, you have no motive?"

Lin Wanqing nodded: "That's right. I have no grudges against the old lady, and my position in the palace is stable. There is no need to harm her."

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, as if examining Lin Wanqing.

Although Lin Wanqing was nervous, he remained calm on the surface.

She knew that she couldn't reveal any flaws at this time.

After a long while, the Queen Mother finally spoke slowly: "What you said does make some sense, but words are not enough. You still need to provide evidence."

Lin Wanqing's heart tightened. She knew that she had no evidence to prove her innocence, but she couldn't give up just like that.

"Your Majesty, please be wise. I will do my best to find evidence and prove my innocence." Lin Wanqing's voice was firm and powerful, as if she had been fully prepared.

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Wanqing with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

She knew that this woman was not simple.

"Alright, I'll give you a chance," the Queen Mother said slowly. "If you can find evidence to prove your innocence within three days, I'll release you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lin Wanqing was delighted, she knew this was her only chance.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. I will do my best." There was some gratitude in Lin Wanqing's voice. She knew that she could not relax at all at this time.

After saying this, she kowtowed deeply, then turned and left the imperial study.

Walking on the long palace road, Lin Wanqing's thoughts were flying.

She knew that time was very tight and she had to find evidence to prove her innocence as soon as possible.

But where is this evidence?

Lin Wanqing frowned, his heart filled with confusion and anxiety.

Suddenly she thought of someone who might be able to give her some clues.

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and walked towards the palace gate.

At the same time, Lu Shengyuan was extremely anxious and immediately rushed to the imperial study to ask to see the emperor.

In the imperial study in front of the emperor, the magnificent decorations looked even more solemn under the candlelight. Lu Shengyuan walked in with steady steps through a series of exquisite screens.

His eyes were slightly lowered in front of the emperor, with a look of anxiety and determination.

The emperor glanced at Lu Shengyuan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He put down the red brush in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said in a voice with a bit of majesty: "Lu Shengyuan, why are you here? Are you here to see Princess Sheng? She just left."

Lu Shengyuan's heart tightened when he heard this, but he still maintained a respectful expression.

He took a deep breath and replied, "Your Majesty, I did come here for the princess, but not just to find her."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, as if he was interested in Lu Shengyuan's answer. He motioned for Lu Shengyuan to continue, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Lu Shengyuan calmed himself down and said firmly, "I'm here to defend the princess. Rumors have been circulating lately that she poisoned my mother, but I know her well. She would never do such a heinous act."

The emperor's expression flickered when he heard this. He glanced at Lu Shengyuan and said seriously, "Lu Shengyuan, do you understand the seriousness of this matter? If the princess really poisoned the woman, she will be severely punished."

Lu Shengyuan nodded and met the emperor's gaze calmly.

"I know, but I can guarantee that the princess would never do such a thing. Although she has a strong personality, she is kind-hearted and treats everyone around her very well. I have known her for many years and I know her very well."

The emperor looked at Lu Shengyuan with a deep gaze. He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Why are you so sure?"

Lu Shengyuan raised his head and looked at the emperor with a firm gaze.

He took a deep breath and spoke forcefully, "Because I know the princess. She is not only my wife, but also the most important person in my heart. I believe in her character and personality. She would never do anything that goes against morality or conscience."

The emperor stared into Lu Shengyuan's eyes, and seemed to be touched by the firm light in his eyes.

After a long while, the emperor slowly spoke: "Lu Shengyuan, your earnestness in protecting your wife truly touches me."

Lu Shengyuan's heart moved slightly, he knew the meaning of this sentence.

"Your Majesty, please understand. I am not trying to protect my wife. I am just telling you the truth." Lu Shengyuan's voice was steady and powerful.

The emperor looked at Lu Shengyuan with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

After a long while, the emperor slowly said, "Alright, I understand. I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. However, since you trust the princess so much, I will give you a chance. Go ahead and investigate. I want a reasonable explanation."

Lu Shengyuan was delighted, as this was exactly what he wanted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to clear the princess' name." Lu Shengyuan's voice was firm and powerful.

After saying that, Lu Shengyuan kowtowed deeply, then turned and left the imperial study.

Walking on the long palace road, Lu Shengyuan's thoughts were flying.

At this time, it was dark.

Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing returned to the palace one after another.

As soon as she entered the room, Lu Shengyuan eagerly came forward. He looked Lin Wanqing up and down, his tone filled with anxiety: "Princess, are you okay? Did the emperor give you any trouble?"

Lin Wanqing shook her head. Her gaze lingered on Lu Shengyuan's face for a moment, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that Lu Shengyuan really cared about her.

"I'm fine, the emperor didn't make things difficult for me." Lin Wanqing's voice was soft and firm, as if it carried a reassuring power.

Lu Shengyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He looked at Lin Wanqing with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Princess, where did this rumor come from? Have you offended anyone?" Lu Shengyuan's voice was low and powerful, as if he was thinking about something.

Lin Wanqing frowned slightly when she heard this, and her eyes looked into the distance, her eyes full of confusion and uneasiness.

"I don't know either. This rumor came too suddenly and I was not prepared at all." Lin Wanqing's voice was a little low, as if he had been troubled by this matter for a long time.

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, he could feel her confusion and uneasiness.

He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Princess, don't worry. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and clear your name."

Lin Wanqing felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Lu Shengyuan with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
