Chapter 178 Asking for Advice
Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing turned and looked at Lu Shengyuan.
"Your Highness, thank you very much for what you did today." Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan and said sincerely.
"You're too polite, Princess." Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing and smiled. "Protecting the young prince is what I should do."
He paused, looked at Lin Wanqing, and continued, "Princess, can I talk to you?"
"What to talk about?" Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan, feeling confused.
"Let's talk about what's going on between us." Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing and said seriously, "I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."
"Misunderstanding?" Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan, frowning slightly. "What misunderstanding?"
"It's about what happened that night." Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing and took a deep breath. "I know I went a little too far that night, but I really didn't mean to do it. I was just too angry at the time, so I did that. I..."
"That's enough!" Lin Wanqing interrupted Lu Shengyuan, "I don't want to talk about what happened that night anymore."
Lin Wanqing really didn't want to mention what happened that night again.
Every time she thought about what happened that night, she felt uncomfortable.
"Princess..." Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he found that he didn't seem to know what to say.
Lin Wanqing was still angry about what happened that night, but he really didn't mean it.
"Okay, Your Highness, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan and took a deep breath. "The young master still needs my care."
With that said, she turned and left.
Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing's leaving back, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
The matter between him and Lin Wanqing cannot be resolved in a short time.
However, he is not in a hurry. He has plenty of time and can take it slow.
One day, he would make Lin Wanqing understand his feelings and forgive him.
After Lin Wanqing left, Lu Shengyuan stood there with a deep look in his eyes.
At this time, a guard came hurriedly with a secret report in his hand.
"Your Highness, we have checked it out." The guard said in a low voice and handed the secret report to Lu Shengyuan.
Lu Shengyuan opened the secret report, his brow furrowed. It turned out that the men in black weren't targeting the young master, but were trying to seize the opportunity to kidnap Lin Wanqing and use it to threaten Lu Shengyuan into handing over his military power.
"These people are so bold!" Lu Shengyuan said angrily, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He decided that this matter could not be let go. He must find out the identities of these people and make them pay the price.
At the same time, Lin Wanqing was not idle either.
After she returned to the room, she immediately asked someone to investigate the identity of the man in black.
Although the man in black is dead, she believes that there will always be some clues left behind.
Sure enough, not long after, someone brought the news.
"Princess, I've found out." A maid walked up to Lin Wanqing and whispered, "That man in black is from the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"Someone from the Prince's Mansion?" Lin Wanqing frowned slightly when he heard this. "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed." The maid nodded. "I saw with my own eyes that the man in black had the token of the Crown Prince's Palace on him."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and sneered in his heart.
She knew that this matter must be related to the Prince's Mansion.
In this case, don't blame her for being rude.
Lin Wanqing decided that after the young master had a good rest, she would go to the prince's mansion in person to ask the prince for an explanation.
The next morning, after taking care of the young master's breakfast, Lin Wanqing took his men to the Prince's Mansion.
"Crown Princess, Princess Chen is here."
The Crown Princess was sipping tea. When she heard the maid's words, she paused and frowned slightly: "Why is she here?"
She and Lin Wanqing don't have a good relationship, and Lin Wanqing coming at this time must be no good.
However, even if there was nothing good, she couldn't avoid seeing him.
After all, Lin Wanqing's current identity is Princess Chen, and she cannot afford to offend her.
Thinking of this, the Crown Princess put down the teacup in her hand and stood up: "Let's go and welcome our Princess Chen."
Having said that, she led her people out.
Lin Wanqing waited at the gate of the Prince's Mansion for a while, and then saw the Crown Princess coming out with her people.
"Crown Princess." Lin Wanqing looked at the Crown Princess and smiled, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see, Princess Chen." The Crown Princess looked at Lin Wanqing and curled her lips. "I wonder what brings you here today, Princess Chen?"
"It's nothing serious, actually." Lin Wanqing looked at the Crown Princess with an unwavering smile on her face. "There's just one thing I want to ask you, Crown Princess."
"What's the matter?" The Crown Princess looked at Lin Wanqing, feeling confused.
"Just yesterday, someone wanted to kidnap me. I wonder if the Crown Princess knows about this?" Lin Wanqing looked at the Crown Princess and said word by word.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess's expression changed. "What? Someone wants to kidnap you? This...what's going on?"
"Doesn't the Crown Princess know?" Lin Wanqing looked at the Crown Princess and smiled. "I thought the Crown Princess should know. After all, the person who wanted to kidnap me is from the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"What?" The Crown Princess's face changed drastically when she heard this. "This... this is impossible! How could someone from our Crown Prince's Mansion do such a thing?"
"Why not?" Lin Wanqing looked at the Crown Princess, her smile unchanged. "If you don't believe me, you can go ask that person yourself."
She paused and continued, "However, unfortunately, that person is already dead. The Crown Princess is afraid that she won't be able to ask anything."
The Crown Princess looked at Lin Wanqing and felt a panic in her heart.
She really didn't know about this matter, but Lin Wanqing insisted that it was done by someone from the Prince's Mansion. What should she do?
"Princess Chen, I really don't know about this matter." The Crown Princess took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "The people in our Crown Prince's Mansion would never do such a thing."
"Really?" Lin Wanqing looked at the Crown Princess and smiled. "Since the Crown Princess doesn't know, then I'm relieved. I thought she deliberately sent someone to kidnap me."
"Of course not." Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess said quickly, "How could I do such a thing?"
"That's good." Lin Wanqing looked at the Crown Princess and nodded. "In that case, I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."
With that said, she turned and left.
The Crown Princess looked at Lin Wanqing's departing back, feeling confused.
Why did Lin Wanqing come here today? Was it just to tell her about this matter?
But, she really didn't know about this.
No matter how the Crown Princess thought about it, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
