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

The beggar shook his head, looking a little confused. "No, she's been very busy lately. We haven't met much, and I can sense that she's hiding something from me."

"What's the matter?" Lin Wanqing asked hurriedly.

The beggar frowned slightly, as if trying to recall something. "She once mentioned that there was a huge secret hidden in the palace, but she didn't dare to ask or tell anyone."

"Secret?" Lin Wanqing slowly clenched her hands on her knees.

Could this secret be the one she had suspected before?

She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, suppressed her anxiety, and tried to maintain a calm tone: "What else do you know? What else did she tell you about this secret?"

The beggar shook his head, a look of pain on his face. "I don't know. She never told me much. She only mentioned it occasionally and then quickly changed the subject."

Lin Wanqing looked at him silently. This beggar didn't know much, but his few words confirmed her guess.

The maidservant did know a secret in the palace, and this secret was probably related to her previous guess.

"You should get up first," Lin Wanqing said softly, her voice low enough to ensure the beggar couldn't hear what she was saying. "I won't make things difficult for you, but if you come up with any clues, you must tell me."

The beggar nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Lin Wanqing looked at his leaving back and didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Wanqing's thoughts were in a whirlwind, and his heart was filled with confusion and doubts.

What unspeakable truth lies within this secret? Why does it terrify a servant girl so much that she dares not even speak out?

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath, turned around and said to Pei'er, "Let's go back."

Pei'er responded and followed Lin Wanqing, but her heart was full of doubts.

The princess seemed to know something important, but she didn't tell herself.

Although Pei'er was curious, she didn't dare to ask too much. She knew what she should do.

……

the other side.

Lu Ming sat in the room with a serious expression. The tea in front of him had already cooled down, but he was completely unaware.

His thoughts were completely immersed in the news he had just received. Lin Wanqing actually knew that someone had poisoned him and even guessed the method of poisoning.

How can this be?

Their plan is so thorough, how could it be easily discovered?

Lu Ming stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room, his inner anxiety and uneasiness surging like a raging tide.

He stopped and looked at Su Qiaoer who was standing at the door with a gloomy look.

"What's going on?" Lu Ming's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority. "How did Lin Wanqing know all this?"

Su Qiaoer trembled, she lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Lu Ming's eyes.

"I...I don't know either." Su Qiao'er's voice trembled slightly. "I have always been very careful and never let anything out."

"Then how did she know?" Lu Ming pressed on, his tone revealing suppressed anger. "Could it be that there's a traitor among us?"

Su Qiaoer shook her head, her expression full of confusion: "Impossible, our people are all carefully selected, it is impossible for them to betray."

Hearing this, Lu Ming's expression softened slightly.

He believes in his own vision and also believes in those who have followed him for many years.

But how did Lin Wanqing know all this?

Is she really so smart that she can guess the truth based on just a few clues?

Lu Ming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Now is not the time to panic. We must calm down and think carefully about countermeasures.

"Minglang, don't worry." Su Qiaoer soothed softly. Her voice was gentle but firm, trying to calm Lu Ming's inner anxiety. "Everyone has been dealt with. She won't be able to find out anything."

Lu Ming frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Have you taken care of it?" he asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Su Qiao'er like knives. "Are you sure there are no traces left?"

Su Qiaoer nodded, with a hint of confidence in her expression: "Don't worry, sir, I always do things cleanly and neatly, and I won't leave any handles."

Lu Ming looked at her, and the anxiety in his heart gradually dissipated.

He believed in Su Qiaoer's ability. She always did things carefully and there was no possibility of her making mistakes.

But why did Lin Wanqing know these things?

Could it be that I was really worrying too much?

"Minglang, don't worry too much." Su Qiaoer continued, "Perhaps Lin Wanqing is just guessing. She doesn't have any substantial evidence."

When Lu Ming heard this, his heart moved slightly.

Su Qiaoer was right. Lin Wanqing was just guessing, and she didn't have any substantial evidence.

I must not panic, I must calm down and think carefully about countermeasures.

"You're right." Lu Ming said slowly, a hint of relief in his voice, "I can't lose my composure. I must calm down."

Su Qiaoer felt relieved as she watched Lu Ming gradually regain his composure.

She looked at Lu Ming and said softly, "Minglang, don't worry too much. I'll go to the old lady to take a look and improve her favorability. That way, you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Lu Ming nodded slightly: "Okay, go ahead."

Su Qiaoer turned and left, but she couldn't help feeling a little proud.

She knows she is beautiful and knows how to use her advantages.

Although Lin Wanqing is a princess, she is not favored by the old lady. However, she gradually wins the old lady's favor with her own abilities.

Su Qiaoer walked all the way to the old lady's yard, and an old man in coarse clothes walked in. It was Su Yao.

Su Yao looked at Su Qiao'er and frowned slightly: "Who are you? Why do you have such a strong fragrance?"

"Who are you? How dare you make a noise here?" Su Qiaoer said coldly.

Su Yao looked at Su Qiao'er and sneered, "Just a distinguished guest? How dare you act so arrogantly?"

Su Qiao'er was furious when she heard this. She raised her hand and wanted to slap Su Yao.

Su Yao was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed Su Qiaoer's wrist.

"What do you want to do?" Su Qiaoer glared at him.

Su Yao just smiled and said, "I'm just taking your pulse."

As soon as she finished speaking, she gently placed her fingers on Su Qiaoer's wrist and began to take her pulse.

Su Qiaoer was stunned and wanted to pull her hand back, but she found that Su Yao's fingers were like iron clamps, tightly holding her wrist.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Su Qiaoer shouted angrily.

Su Yao ignored him, she closed her eyes slightly and took the pulse with a serious expression.

After a moment, she let go of his hand, a look of suspicion on her face.

"Strange, really strange." Su Yao muttered to herself.

Su Qiaoer rubbed her pinched wrist, looking furious: "Who the hell are you? How dare you act so wildly here!"
