"coming."

Lin Wanqing murmured softly, with a sneer on his face.

She turned and looked at Lu Shengyuan lying on the bed, a cunning glint in her eyes.

"Husband, just watch the show."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the bedroom, quietly approaching the direction of the man in black.

The men in black thought they were acting stealthily, but they didn't realize that their every move had already been calculated by Lin Wanqing.

Just as they were about to approach Lu Shengyuan's dormitory, Lin Wanqing suddenly appeared and gave an order.

The guards who had been lying in ambush nearby rushed forward and surrounded the men in black.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the Prince's mansion at night?"

The captain of the guards shouted angrily, staring at the surrounded men in black with a sharp gaze.

The men in black were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect that their whereabouts would be exposed so thoroughly.

"withdraw!"

Someone shouted, and the men in black immediately scattered and fled, trying to break out of the encirclement.

However, since Lin Wanqing has already laid a tight net, how could he let them escape easily?

The guards chased them hard and soon captured the men in black one by one.

Lin Wanqing walked forward and looked at the captured men in black, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Tell me! Who are you? Why did you break into the Prince's mansion at night?"

The men in black looked at each other, but no one answered.

They knew that they had fallen this time and there was no way to escape.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing was not anxious. He just ordered calmly: "Take them away and interrogate them strictly."

The captain of the guards took the order and left, soon disappearing into the night with the men in black.

Lin Wanqing looked at the direction where the captain of the guards left, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She knew that this incident was just the beginning and the person behind the scenes would never give up easily.

However, she had already made preparations. No matter what tricks those people wanted to play, she would resolve them one by one!

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing's smiling face and couldn't help but joke.

"Madam, this is a really good plan. I admire you."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing glanced at him lightly, with a smug smile on his face.

"That's natural. Don't you see who I am?"

The two smiled at each other, and the bedroom was filled with warmth and sweetness.

As the men in black brought back information, the atmosphere in the yamen became subtle and tense.

When the county magistrate heard that Lu Shengyuan might be seriously ill, a subtle cunning flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself that if Lu Shengyuan really fell, the situation in this county city would change.

So, he decided to go to the Prince's Mansion in person to find out what was going on and gain some benefits for himself.

The next morning, the sun shone through the mist and shone on the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

The county magistrate, dressed in official uniform and accompanied by a group of yamen runners, came to visit in a grand manner.

Lin Wanqing had already anticipated this visit, so he ordered people to prepare tea. He himself, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, sat in the hall, waiting for the guests.

When the county magistrate stepped into the hall and saw Lin Wanqing looking calm, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

He pretended to be concerned and asked, "I heard that the prince was unwell, so I came to visit him. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Lin Wanqing smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Thank you for your concern, my lord. My husband has only caught a cold and is not seriously ill. He is currently resting and is unable to see guests. I hope your forgiveness will be given."

Seeing this, the county magistrate felt unwilling but had no choice but to give up.

He looked around and suddenly changed the subject: "The Princess is truly as capable as any man. I have heard about what happened last night. I really admire her."

Lin Wanqing's heart was filled with alarm, but he remained calm on the surface: "Your Excellency is too kind. It's just some family matters, not worth mentioning."

The county magistrate stroked his beard lightly, his eyes darkened slightly, and his words were somewhat heavy.

"Princess, I'm here because I have something on my mind. Disaster relief is a matter of urgency, affecting the livelihoods of countless people. If the prince is in danger, someone will need to take the lead in ensuring the safety and relief of the entire county and the disaster area."

He walked slowly to the window and looked at the endless mountains in the distance and the vaguely visible disaster-stricken villages.

"The princess is extremely intelligent and will understand the pros and cons of this matter."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly. Although her face showed no emotion, her heart was already in turmoil.

Lin Wanqing opened her red lips slightly, her voice gentle but firm.

"Your Excellency is absolutely right. Disaster relief is a matter of national importance and the well-being of the people. We cannot afford to slack off in the slightest."

After she finished speaking, she gently raised her hand and signaled the maid to fetch the disaster relief plan and detailed accounts that had been prepared long ago, and showed them to the county magistrate one by one.

Every expense and every measure is clearly organized and detailed, revealing Lin Wanqing's attention and dedication to this matter.

The county magistrate flipped through the documents and a look of approval appeared on his face.

He had never expected that this seemingly weak woman could be so capable and courageous.

"I am deeply pleased that the princess is so attentive. It is a blessing for the county and the people that the prince has such a virtuous wife like you."

The county magistrate put down the documents in his hand and said sincerely.

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly and said modestly, "Your Excellency is too kind. This is my responsibility."

The sunlight filtered through the window lattice, scattering dappled light on the faces of Lin Wanqing and the county magistrate, adding a touch of warmth to the solemn atmosphere.

Lin Wanqing raised her hand slightly, signaling the maid to refill the county magistrate's tea.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's eyes flashed with admiration and he stroked his beard gently.

"Princess, your words make sense. I will fully cooperate. With such a virtuous couple like you and the Prince, the county city will surely prosper. I will return immediately."

After saying this, the county magistrate stood up and was about to leave, but then seemed to remember something.

"Princess, the prince is not feeling well, and I still want to go and see him. Although I am not talented, I am willing to share his worries."

Lin Wanqing smiled gratefully and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I thank you on behalf of my husband, but he is ill and I am afraid that the county magistrate will be infected with his illness. I am afraid we should forget it."

After hearing what Lin Wanqing said, the county magistrate didn't know what to say.

He could only bow and say, "In that case, I will take my leave."

Having said that, he turned and left with his men.

Watching the county magistrate and his entourage walking away.

The smile on Lin Wanqing's face gradually faded, replaced by a solemn look.

She knew that this battle had just begun and there would be tougher battles waiting for her.

At the same time, in a secret room in the Prince's Mansion.

Lu Shengyuan was listening quietly to the report from the captain of the guards, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Good, well done." He praised softly, "Wan Qing really didn't let me down."

Upon hearing this, the captain of the guards also smiled.

"The princess is both wise and brave, and is indeed the prince's right-hand man."

Lu Shengyuan nodded slightly, a gentle light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, I do feel at ease with her around."
