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

Lin Wanqing's heart tightened, and he quickly adjusted his breathing and decided to take a risk.

She nimbly climbed over the wall into the courtyard, avoided the patrolling guards, and quietly approached the window from which a faint light was coming out.

Inside the house, Su Yingying was talking to a mysterious man.

Although the voice was low, Lin Wanqing was still able to catch a few words with his extraordinary hearing.

"...Plan...Prince..."

Su Yingying's words were mixed with calculation and pride, and the man nodded from time to time with a satisfied smile.

Lin Wanqing's heart sank. The thing she was most worried about happened: Su Yingying was indeed planning something in secret, and her target was Lu Shengyuan!

She clenched her fists, feeling an inexplicable anger and protective desire surge in her heart.

We must not let Su Yingying succeed!

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and decided to continue to find out more information.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came.

Lin Wanqing's heart tightened, knowing that his whereabouts had been exposed, and he quickly turned around and tried to escape.

However, it was too late, as several guards had surrounded her.

"Who's there?!"

A loud shout cut through the night sky, and the lights in the house suddenly lit up. Su Yingying and the mysterious man appeared at the door.

Lin Wanqing knew that he could not escape, so he could only face it head-on.

She straightened her back and looked at Su Yingying and the mysterious man coldly, without any fear in her eyes.

"Lin Wanqing?! Why are you here?!"

When Su Yingying saw Lin Wanqing, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She never thought that Lin Wanqing would follow her here.

“Su Yingying, what are you doing here?”

Lin Wanqing asked coldly, "Who is the person behind you? What are you planning?"

Her tone was firm and resolute, with no sign of backing down.

When Su Yingying heard this, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly concealed it.

"Lin Wanqing, you misunderstood. I'm not planning anything."

She tried to explain, but her eyes flickered and she was obviously lying.

"Misunderstand?"

Lin Wanqing sneered, "I saw you conspiring with this mysterious man with my own eyes, and you still want to quibble?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at the mysterious man, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with Su Yingying? What are you planning behind my back?"

Faced with Lin Wanqing's questioning, the mysterious man remained silent and did not answer.

Seeing this, Su Yingying became anxious and hurried forward to hold Lin Wanqing.

"Lin Wanqing, listen to me, things are not what you think..."

However, Lin Wanqing shook her hand away and looked at her coldly.

"Su Yingying, do you think I'm blind or deaf? I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. How else do you want to explain it?"

As she said that, she turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by Su Yingying and the mysterious man.

"You can't go!"

Su Yingying's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Since you have discovered our secret, our secret, then don't even think about leaving here alive!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand, signaling the guards to take action.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing's heart tightened, but she did not retreat. Instead, she bravely faced it.

A fierce fight broke out instantly. Although Lin Wanqing was brave, he was no match for four people with his two fists and soon fell into danger.

At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, swung his sword and forced back the guards who were besieging Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wanqing took the opportunity to break free from the encirclement, retreated to the side of the black shadow, and watched Su Yingying and the mysterious man vigilantly.

"Whoever dares to touch her will be punished with blood!"

The black shadow's voice was low and majestic, revealing unquestionable dominance.

When Su Yingying and the mysterious man heard this, a trace of fear flashed across their faces, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you act wild here!"

Su Yingying shouted angrily and waved her hand to signal the guards to attack again.

Seeing this, the black shadow sneered and swung his sword to meet the enemy.

For a moment, sword lights flashed, air waves rolled, and the entire house was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing was moved.

Seeing this, Su Yingying became very anxious and quickly called the mysterious man to come forward to help.

However, the mysterious man did not take any action and just watched the battle coldly.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing had an idea and took advantage of Su Yingying's unpreparedness to swing his sword at her.

Su Yingying screamed and stepped back quickly, but it was too late.

The tip of Lin Wanqing's sword was already pointing at her throat. Just a slight thrust would take her life.

"do not move!"

Lin Wanqing shouted coldly, "If you move again, I will kill you!"

Su Yingying suddenly didn't dare to move anymore and looked at Lin Wanqing with a pale face.

"Lin Wanqing, how dare you!"

Su Yingying shouted fiercely, "Even if you kill me, you won't survive!"

Lin Wanqing sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid? You've schemed against me time and time again. Do you really think I'm a pushover?"

As she spoke, she increased the strength in her hands, and a blood mark appeared on Su Yingying's neck.

Seeing this, Su Yingying was terrified and begged for mercy.

"Lin Wanqing, I was wrong. I shouldn't have plotted against you. Please let me go!"

Her voice was trembling and terrified, completely devoid of her previous arrogance.

However, Lin Wanqing did not soften her heart because of this. She looked at Su Yingying coldly, her heart full of vigilance.

Su Yingying is a cunning woman and you can't trust her words easily.

At this moment, the mysterious man who had been silent suddenly spoke.

"Lin Wanqing, let her go. I can tell you a secret about Lu Shengyuan."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart moved and she turned to look at the mysterious man.

"What secret?"

she asked warily.

The mysterious man took a deep breath and slowly uttered a few words.

"Lu Shengyuan's poisoning is not that simple, so I advise you not to investigate."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Wanqing's face changed drastically.

"What did you say?"

She asked in a trembling voice.

"There's something fishy about Lu Shengyuan's poisoning. If you don't want him to be put in greater danger, it's best not to delve into it."

The mysterious man said in a low voice.

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a storm surged in his heart.

She never imagined that there was another hidden story behind Lu Shengyuan's poisoning.

"What do you know?"

She grabbed the mysterious man's collar and asked anxiously.

The mysterious man looked at Lin Wanqing's anxious expression, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but he finally sighed and spoke slowly.

"I don't know much, but I can tell you that Lu Shengyuan's poisoning is closely related to that person in the palace."

As he spoke, he looked up at Lin Wanqing, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and determination.

"If you want to save him, it's best not to act rashly."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart was shocked and her hand unconsciously let go of the mysterious man's collar.

The "one in the palace" mentioned by the mysterious man refers to the current emperor.
