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

"Princess, this is bad! The prince...he suddenly fainted!"

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart suddenly tightened and she immediately got up and rushed to Lu Shengyuan's room.

Lu Shengyuan was lying on the bed with a pale face and his eyes closed. He was obviously unconscious.

"What happened? Why did he suddenly faint?"

Lin Wanqing anxiously asked the maids and servants around her, her heart filled with worry and uneasiness.

At this time, a doctor from the mansion hurried over and took Lu Shengyuan's pulse.

After a moment, he shook his head and said solemnly.

"Princess, the prince's condition has suddenly worsened. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't survive more than three days."

"what?!"

When Lin Wanqing heard this, he was struck by lightning and froze in place.

Lu Shengyuan's condition has been stable, how could it suddenly worsen?

The doctor sighed.

"The prince's condition was already complicated. It's a miracle that he's managed to hold on until now. Now that his condition has suddenly worsened, I'm afraid... I'm afraid there's no way to save him."

Lin Wanqing felt a pang of pain in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.

She didn't believe it. She didn't believe that Lu Shengyuan would leave her like this.

"No, he will be fine!"

Lin Wanqing's voice was trembling, but extremely firm.

"Come, get the best doctor right away. No matter what, you must save him!"

For a time, the Prince's Mansion was in chaos, and everyone was worried about Lu Shengyuan's illness.

However, at this critical moment, the county magistrate suddenly sent someone to "express condolences".

"Princess, the county magistrate heard that the county prince was seriously ill, so he sent me here to offer his condolences and a piece of thousand-year-old ginseng. I hope the county prince can recover soon."

The man had a fake smile on his face and was holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand.

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Coming to express condolences at this time is like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions!

She glanced coldly at the brocade box in the man's hand, her tone icy.

"Thank the County Magistrate for my kindness. Keep the ginseng for himself! Send him out!"

After Lin Wanqing sent away the county magistrate's messenger, his doubts grew even more.

She knew very well that although Lu Shengyuan's condition had recurred, it would never worsen so suddenly.

She decided to investigate the matter herself and uncover the conspiracy behind it.

Lin Wanqing secretly summoned Lu Shengyuan's trusted guard, Captain Yun Feiyang.

He has been Lu Shengyuan's right-hand man for many years. He is not only skilled in martial arts, but also meticulous.

"Fei Yang, I suspect there's something fishy about Sheng Yuan's condition. Go investigate the city immediately to see if there's anything unusual, especially anything related to the County Magistrate."

Lin Wanqing's tone was solemn, and his eyes flashed with unquestionable determination.

Yun Feiyang took the order and left, while Lin Wanqing stayed in the mansion, taking care of Lu Shengyuan on the one hand and continuing to secretly collect clues on the other.

As night fell, Yun Feiyang hurried back and brought shocking news.

"Princess, I've discovered that the county magistrate has been in frequent contact with a quack doctor recently. That doctor specializes in poisons and his whereabouts are elusive."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, he was shocked. All the clues seemed to point to the county magistrate.

She decided to meet the doctor in person to uncover the truth.

The next day, Lin Wanqing disguised himself and secretly went to the place agreed upon by the county magistrate and the doctor.

After some twists and turns, she finally met the doctor. When the doctor saw Lin Wanqing coming alone, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Princess, what are you doing..."

Lin Wanqing sneered and interrupted the other party.

"You know the reason why I came here very well. Tell me, what did you do to Sheng Yuan?"

When the doctor heard this, his face changed, but he pretended to be calm.

"Princess, I don't understand what you are talking about. I have never done anything to the prince."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes. She stared at the other party coldly, her tone as cold as ice.

"Do you think I can't find out if you don't tell me? I'm warning you, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly struck out as fast as lightning, instantly controlling the opponent's vital point.

The doctor turned pale with fright when he saw this. He knew Lin Wanqing's methods very well and knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he would probably not survive.

"Princess, please spare me. I'll tell you everything!"

With a trembling voice, he confessed in detail his collusion with the county magistrate and how he poisoned Lu Shengyuan's food.

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart ached. As she had expected, Lu Shengyuan's condition worsened due to human factors.

She suppressed her anger, let go of the doctor, and said coldly.

"If you want to live, do as I tell you, otherwise..."

The doctor nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely do as he was told.

Lin Wanqing returned to the mansion and immediately summoned all reliable people to discuss how to rescue Lu Shengyuan and deal with the county magistrate.

A battle of life, death and power is about to begin.

At this moment in the county government office, the county magistrate was planning the next plan with his confidants with a smug look on his face.

"Humph, Lu Shengyuan is definitely doomed this time. Once he dies, the entire Prince's Mansion will fall into my hands, hahaha!"

There was greed and ambition in the county magistrate's eyes, as if he saw a future in which he would hold great power.

However, he didn't know that Lin Wanqing had secretly made plans to catch him in one fell swoop.

The next day, Lin Wanqing took Yun Feiyang and others and went to the county government office secretly.

They took advantage of the county magistrate's unpreparedness, launched a sudden attack, and quickly took control of the entire county government office.

The county magistrate and his confidants were caught off guard and surrendered one after another.

Lin Wanqing stared at the county magistrate coldly, his tone as cold as ice.

"Do you think your actions are truly unnoticed? I tell you, the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Your crimes have been fully exposed!"

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's face turned pale. He knew that he was really in trouble this time.

His voice trembled as he tried to beg for mercy.

"Princess, please spare my life. I... I know I was wrong, and I am willing to atone for my sins..."

However, Lin Wanqing interrupted him coldly.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Your crimes are too numerous to list. You will be severely punished by the law!"

At her command, Yun Feiyang and others immediately took the county magistrate and his confidants away.

At the same time, Lin Wanqing also found the antidote to save Lu Shengyuan.

She personally fed Lu Shengyuan the antidote, and then stayed by his bedside, taking care of him for three days and three nights without taking off her clothes.

Finally, in the early morning of the fourth day, Lu Shengyuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Wanqing..."

He called out weakly, his eyes full of gratitude and affection.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing burst into tears. She held Lu Shengyuan's hand tightly and spoke with a sob.

"Shengyuan, you finally woke up, that's great..."

Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly, gently wiped the tears from Lin Wanqing's face, and said softly.

"Don't cry, I'm fine now. Thank you, Wanqing."

Lin Wanqing shook his head, indicating that he was just doing what he should do.
