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

After saying that, he took out a silver needle and gave the old lady a few injections on her head. After a while, the old lady slowly woke up.

"Shengyuan, where is Shengyuan?" As soon as she woke up, she grabbed Su Qiaoer's hand tightly and asked anxiously.

Su Qiaoer pulled her hand back awkwardly and said comfortingly, "Grandma, don't get excited. Sheng Yuan, he's gone."

The old lady's tears welled up again and she cried until she was out of breath.

Lu Ming looked a little impatient, but he couldn't show it, so he could only comfort her.

After a period of comfort, the old lady finally calmed down and lay down on the bed to rest.

At this time, Lin Wan'er also rushed to the palace after hearing the news, wanting to see what happened to Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wan'er is Lin Wanqing's sister, and the two have a very good relationship.

Now that she heard that Lin Wanqing was in trouble, how could she not worry?

However, as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Su Qiaoer.

"What are you doing? I want to see my sister!" Lin Wan'er said angrily.

Su Qiaoer glanced at her and said disdainfully, "Your sister? She's gone now. You won't be able to see her even if you go in."

"What? Are you really sure? My sister, she..." Lin Wan'er looked at her in disbelief, her eyes instantly moist.

She couldn't believe that her sister, who was full of life yesterday, was gone today.

"That's right, she and Lu Shengyuan are both dead." Su Qiaoer said coldly, "You are just an outsider, don't be an eyesore here, just leave quickly."

After saying that, she was about to close the door.

Lin Wan'er was furious and pushed the door shut. "Why won't you let me in? I'm the princess's sister. I have the right to see her one last time!"

Su Qiaoer pushed Lin Wan'er to the ground with force.

"I told you, your sister's body is not in the palace! It's useless even if you go in!" she shouted.

Lin Wan'er was pushed to the ground by her, tears streaming down her face from the pain. She looked at Su Qiao'er's cold and indifferent face, feeling grief and anger in her heart, and fainted from anger.

And the other side.

The leader of the guards had successfully pried open the mouths of those men in black. When he learned that it was Su Qiaoer and Lu Ming who did it, he was horrified and quickly told Lu Shengyuan the news.

"Your Highness, this was done by Su Qiaoer and Lu Ming." The leader of the guards said in a deep voice.

Lu Shengyuan's face showed a hint of shock: "What did you say? They did this?"

He didn't expect that his son was so ambitious that he would even dare to kill him for the throne.

"How dare they?" Lin Wanqing also looked incredulous.

Although she knew that Lu Ming and Su Qiaoer had always been eyeing the throne, she never expected that they would dare to do such a treasonous thing.

"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant." Lu Shengyuan said coldly, "Since they dare to do this, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, he took Lin Wanqing's hand and walked out of the room, preparing to return to the palace.

Along the way, they were very careful, fearing that they would be discovered.

Fortunately, they returned to the palace safely.

However, when they walked into the palace gate, they were stunned.

The palace was all plain, and the servants were all in mourning clothes with solemn expressions.

Seeing them come back, the servants were all surprised.

"Prince, Princess, why are you back?" a servant asked stutteringly.

Lu Shengyuan sneered: "Why? Doesn't Lu Ming want me to come back?"

The servant quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness, please calm down. That's not what I meant. It's just that everyone thinks you have already, already..."

"Has he been killed?" Lu Shengyuan took over and said, "Humph, I didn't expect Lu Ming to be so impatient that he even arranged our funeral."

Lin Wanqing was also furious: "How dare they do this? Aren't they afraid that we will come back and settle the score with them?"

"Of course they were afraid," Lu Shengyuan said coldly, "but obviously, they didn't expect us to escape."

Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth and said, "They've really gone too far! We must teach them a lesson!"

Lu Shengyuan nodded and took Lin Wanqing into the hall.

At this time, Lu Ming and Su Qiaoer were discussing something in the hall. When they saw them walk in, they were shocked.

"Father, Mother, why are you back?" Lu Ming asked stutteringly, feeling panicked.

Aren't they already dead? Why are they still here?

Su Qiaoer was also stunned. She looked at Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

"You're not dead?" she said coldly, "You're really lucky."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, his eyes full of disappointment: "Su Qiaoer, I've treated you well, how dare you do this to me?"

Su Qiao'er burst into tears: "Your Highness, I was forced to do this. Lu Ming threatened me that if I didn't help him, he would kill me."

Lu Ming glared at her but said nothing.

He regrets it now, but it's too late.

"Lu Ming, you disappoint me so much." Lu Shengyuan said coldly, "For the throne, you even dared to kill your own father."

Lu Ming lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

He knew that he had really done something wrong this time.

"Father, I know I was wrong," he whispered, "I am willing to accept the punishment."

Lu Shengyuan looked at him, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and his heart softened. After all, this was the child he had raised since childhood. However, it was really disheartening that he did such a thing.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

Lu Ming and others heard the sound and looked over, only to see a group of guards rushing in and surrounding them.

The chief guard came in and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Princess, I am late."

Lu Shengyuan waved his hand: "It's not too late, you came at the perfect time."

After saying this, he looked at Lu Ming and Su Qiao'er and said coldly, "Throw them both into jail and wait for your punishment."

The guards immediately stepped forward and arrested Lu Ming and Su Qiaoer.

"Father, spare my life!" Lu Ming cried in panic, "I know I was wrong, and I am willing to change for the better!"

Su Qiao'er also cried and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was forced to do this, please forgive me!"

However, Lu Shengyuan remained unmoved: "You did such a thing, and you still want me to forgive you? You are really wishful thinking."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the guards to take them away.

The guards took orders and escorted Lu Ming and Su Qiaoer out of the hall.

Looking at their backs, Lu Shengyuan felt a surge of emotion.

He never expected that his son would do such a thing for the throne, which made him extremely disappointed.

Lin Wanqing gently held his hand and said softly, "Your Highness, don't be too sad. We still have each other."

Lu Shengyuan felt a warm feeling in his heart. He held Lin Wanqing's hand tightly and looked at her affectionately: "Wanqing, thank you for always being by my side."

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I am your princess, this is what I should do."

The two smiled at each other, as if all their worries had disappeared.
