Chapter 260 Responsibilities
Lin Wanqing sneered: "Do you think you can succeed?"
"Why can't I?" the abbot said confidently, "My plan is perfect. You can't defend it at all."
"Really?" Lin Wanqing chuckled.
She had just taken advantage of the abbot's inattention and sprinkled some special powder on him. This powder would make the whole body itchy and painful.
"What did you do to me?" The abbot suddenly felt itchy all over and couldn't help scratching.
"Nothing, just a small gift for you." Lin Wanqing said with a smile, "Don't you like to harm others? Then let you have a taste of being harmed."
"You...you...you bitch." The abbot rolled on the ground itching, but was unable to touch Lin Wanqing at all.
Lin Wanqing looked at him coldly until he fainted from the itchiness.
Then she took out the flare from her waist and fired it into the air.
After a while, Lu Shengyuan arrived with his guards.
"Qingqing, are you okay?" Lu Shengyuan asked nervously when he saw Lin Wanqing.
"I'm fine." Lin Wanqing shook his head. "The abbot is a traitor, and I've subdued him."
"Okay." Lu Shengyuan nodded and ordered his men to tie up the abbot.
Then, he looked at Lin Wanqing: "Qingqing, you are really amazing."
Lin Wanqing chuckled: "It's nothing, it's just what I should do."
"No, you don't understand." Lu Shengyuan shook his head. "Not only did you save Yiyi and me, you also helped us uncover the traitor. You deserve credit for that."
"Really?" Lin Wanqing blinked.
"Of course it's true." Lu Shengyuan said seriously, "Qingqing, you are not only smart, but also brave. I really admire you."
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment." Lin Wanqing said modestly.
In fact, she just did what she was supposed to do.
If it were someone else, she would help without hesitation.
"No, you deserve my praise." Lu Shengyuan looked at her affectionately, "Qingqing, you are not only my princess, but also the noble person in my life."
Lin Wanqing was somewhat touched. She said softly, "Your Highness, you are too polite. We are husband and wife, and we should support each other."
"Yes, husband and wife should support each other." Lu Shengyuan nodded. "Qingqing, don't worry, I will treat you well and will not let you get hurt."
"I believe you." Lin Wanqing nodded.
At this time, Xia Yiyi also came over.
She looked at Lin Wanqing, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Princess, thank you." Xia Yiyi's voice was a little choked. "If it weren't for you, I might have been taken away by the abbot."
"It's okay." Lin Wanqing chuckled, "We are good friends, and it's only natural for us to help each other."
"More than a friend." Xia Yiyi shook her head, "You saved my life. You are my benefactor."
"Don't say that." Lin Wanqing shook his head, "I just did what I should do."
"No matter what, I have to thank you." Xia Yiyi said seriously, "If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to help you."
"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded. "I feel relieved with your words."
After saying that, she looked at Lu Shengyuan and said, "Your Highness, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going back to rest."
"Okay, you've worked hard." Lu Shengyuan nodded, "Go back and have a good rest. I'll take care of the rest."
"Yeah." Lin Wanqing nodded, then left with Xia Yiyi.
As they were walking on the way home, Xia Yiyi suddenly said, "Sister Princess, I think you are different from what the rumors say."
"Oh? What's different? What's different?" Lin Wanqing asked curiously.
"They all say you are cold-hearted, heartless, and arrogant, but I think you are kind and brave." Xia Yiyi said seriously, "and you are also very smart and know everything."
"Haha, those are just rumors." Lin Wanqing chuckled. "People always like to make wild guesses and spread false information."
"I know." Xia Yiyi nodded, "I won't believe them."
"Thank you." Lin Wanqing said gratefully, "It's great to have you as a friend."
"Sister Princess, the same goes for you." Xia Yiyi said with a smile, "Having you as my sister Princess is my greatest fortune."
The two smiled at each other and continued walking.
At this time, the people sent by Lu Shengyuan caught up.
"Princess, the prince asked us to protect you and the princess." The guard said respectfully.
"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."
"I dare not." The guard shook his head quickly, "It is our duty to protect the princess and the princess."
After saying that, they escorted Lin Wanqing and Xia Yiyi back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Lin Wanqing and Xia Yiyi each returned to their own rooms.
Lu Shengyuan went to the study to deal with things.
As night fell, the palace became quiet.
Lin Wanqing lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She thought about what happened today and felt a little scared.
If she had not discovered the abbot's conspiracy in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
But fortunately, everything is over.
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door.
Lin Wanqing sat up vigilantly, stood up, and lit the candle.
The door was pushed open and Lu Shengyuan walked in.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Lin Wanqing asked in surprise.
"I saw that you hadn't slept yet, so I came to check on you." Lu Shengyuan said as he walked to the bed and sat down.
He looked at Lin Wanqing, his eyes full of concern: "Qingqing, are you okay? Are you still thinking about what happened today?"
"I'm fine." Lin Wanqing shook his head, "I just couldn't sleep."
"Then don't think about it." Lu Shengyuan said softly, "Close your eyes and have a good rest."
"Yeah." Lin Wanqing nodded and closed her eyes.
Lu Shengyuan looked at her, and an irrepressible tenderness surged in his heart.
He reached out and gently stroked Lin Wanqing's cheek.
Lin Wanqing did not refuse. She lay there quietly, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.
Suddenly, a noise outside the door broke the silence.
Lin Wanqing was awakened and frowned, not knowing what had happened.
She got up, dressed, and went out.
I saw Xia Yiyi and several maids standing in the yard, confronting another group of people.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wanqing walked over and asked curiously.
"Sister Princess, you've arrived just in time." Xia Yiyi felt more confident when she saw Lin Wanqing. "This maid accidentally bumped into Aunt Su's elder sister, and Aunt Su's elder sister wouldn't let her go and insisted on beating her."
Lin Wanqing looked in the direction Xia Yiyi pointed, and saw a gorgeously dressed woman beating and scolding a little maid kneeling on the ground.
The little maidservant was beaten black and blue, but she didn't dare to fight back.
"Stop it," Lin Wanqing said in a deep voice, "How dare you hit someone in the palace in broad daylight?"
When Su Yingying heard Lin Wanqing Wanqing's voice, she stopped immediately.
She turned her head and saw that it was Lin Wanqing, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes.
