The two chased the butterflies, their laughter drifting in the spring breeze. They were immersed in their own world and did not notice that the danger was quietly approaching in the distance.

On the other hand, Su Qiaoer learned that Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan were going out for a trip, and she was filled with jealousy and resentment.

"This bitch actually dared to seduce the prince to go out for fun!" she said gritting her teeth.

Su Qiaoer paced back and forth in the room, with a vicious gleam in her eyes.

Suddenly, she stopped, a look of determination flashing in her eyes: "No, I can't let them have such a carefree life!"

She immediately found Prince Lu Ming and told him about Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan's outing.

"Minglang, you can't let them get away with it!" Su Qiaoer gritted her teeth and said, "You must find a way to stop them!"

A fierce look flashed in Lu Ming's eyes: "Don't worry, Qiao'er, I know what to do."

He immediately called his confidant and whispered a few instructions.

The subordinates understood the hint and immediately took the order and began to gather a group of assassins, preparing to go to the place where Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan were traveling and kill them with their swords.

Lu Ming stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, a cold smile on his face: "Lin Wanqing, I will never let you come back alive!"

The assassins quietly approached the place where Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan were traveling, preparing to give them a fatal blow.

However, they did not notice the surrounding trees and grass, nor did they realize that anyone was approaching.

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan were walking by the lake when suddenly, a group of men in black descended from the sky and surrounded them.

"Help!" Lin Wanqing shouted in horror.

Lu Shengyuan looked at the men in black, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Who are you?"

The leader of the men in black said coldly, "We will take the lives of the prince and princess!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and the men in black drew their swords and prepared to attack. However, at this moment, Lin Wanqing suddenly grabbed Lu Shengyuan's hand and leaped onto a tree.

Seeing this, the men in black jumped onto the trees and started a fierce fight with them.

Although Lu Shengyuan was a martial arts master, he could not defeat four people with two fists. In addition, the number of men in black was large, so he soon fell into a disadvantage.

Just when they were about to collapse, a group of guards arrived.

"Stop!" the leader shouted angrily, and the man in black stopped what he was doing and looked at him.

The chief guard took a quick look at the situation at the scene, his face livid.

"How dare you! How dare you attack the prince and princess? Are you tired of living?"

The leader of the men in black looked at the group of guards who suddenly appeared, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"Humph, they're just a bunch of running dogs. Let's go together and kill them all!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the man in black brandished his sword again and rushed towards the guards.

However, these guards were all secret guards carefully trained by Lu Shengyuan. They were highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained. The men in black were no match for them at all.

After a while, the men in black fell to the ground one after another, leaving only the leader still resisting.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" The chief of the guards grabbed the leader's collar and asked sternly.

The leader felt a chill in his heart when he saw the cold eyes of the guard leader, but when he thought of the methods of the person behind the scenes, he became tough again.

"Hmph, you can kill me or chop me up as you please, but don't even think about getting any information from me!"

The guard leader's eyes became even colder, and he swung his hand hard, throwing the leader aside.

"Take him back and interrogate him strictly!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked up to Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing, bowing respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Princess, I am late. Please forgive me."

Lu Shengyuan looked at the head of the guards and nodded slightly: "It's okay, you came at the perfect time."

Lin Wanqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the chief guard with eyes full of gratitude.

"I'll leave these people to you. You must find out who is behind this." Lu Shengyuan said in a deep voice.

The chief guard accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."

He waved his hand, and several guards came forward and took the leader of the men in black away.

Lin Wanqing looked at the backs of those people, feeling a little scared. "Your Highness, who sent these people? Have we offended anyone recently?"

Lu Shengyuan frowned slightly, his expression solemn: "I don't know either."

He knew in his heart that there were many people who wanted to kill him, but the one who could mobilize so many assassins was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Your Highness, it's not safe outside at this time. Why don't we go back first?" Lin Wanqing suggested.

Lu Shengyuan shook his head. "No, if I go back now, won't the person behind this succeed? I want to see who dares to cause trouble for me."

Lin Wanqing was a little worried: "Then what should we do next?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Shengyuan's eyes. "First, let someone spread the news that we've been killed. The people behind this will definitely let down their guard. Then we can follow the clues and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes.

He is worthy of being the man she likes. He can remain calm at this time and come up with such a solution.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." She nodded.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, his expression softening a little: "Don't worry, I'm here, no one can hurt you."

The news that Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing had been killed soon reached the ears of Su Qiaoer and Lu Ming.

"What? They were really killed?" Su Qiaoer asked in disbelief.

The subordinate nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. Our people saw with their own eyes that they were besieged by the men in black, and in the end, there was no movement at all."

Su Qiaoer showed a proud smile on her face: "Great! Finally got rid of these two stumbling blocks!"

Lu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of ruthlessness on his face: "Now, the throne is mine."

The two smiled at each other, as if they had already seen a bright future.

Then they went to the old lady's yard together and told her the news.

"What?!" The old lady stood up in shock and looked at them in disbelief: "You said Sheng Yuan and Wan Qing were murdered?"

Lu Ming nodded: "That's right, grandma, this is absolutely true."

The old lady swayed and almost fell to the ground.

Although she didn't like Lin Wanqing, Lu Shengyuan was her son after all. How could she accept that he left the world like this?

"No, this is impossible!" the old lady murmured to herself, tears rolling down her eyes.

Suddenly, her body went limp and she fainted on the ground.

"Grandma!" Lu Ming exclaimed and quickly went forward to support her.

Su Qiao'er was also panicked and quickly asked someone to get some vegetarian medicine.

Su Yao is a famous doctor in the capital with superb medical skills. He once saved the old lady's life, so she has always trusted him.

After a while, Su Yao hurried over and diagnosed the old lady.

"The old lady fainted because of a sudden attack of anger, which caused the blood and qi to flow backwards," Su Yao said. "I'll give her acupuncture first and wake her up first."
