Chapter 262 Something suspicious
"Yes, yes, we also want to listen to the princess's piano playing." The other nobles also echoed.
Lin Wanqing was a little embarrassed. She could indeed play the piano, but she hadn't played it for a long time.
"What? Princess doesn't want to, doesn't Princess want to?" The noble man was a little displeased when he saw Lin Wanqing hesitate.
"No." Lin Wanqing quickly shook her head. "It's just that I haven't played the piano for a long time. I'm afraid I won't play well and make everyone laugh."
"It's okay, it's okay." Everyone shook their heads. "It's our honor to hear the princess's piano."
Seeing Lin Wanqing in a dilemma, Lu Shengyuan spoke up to help: "Alright, don't embarrass the princess. If there's a chance another day, I will ask the princess to play a song for you."
"Okay, okay." Everyone clapped happily.
At this time, Xia Yiyi came over.
"Sister, can I sit next to you?" She looked at Lin Wanqing with a gleam in her eyes.
"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded and pulled her to sit down.
The two of them tasted fine wine and delicious food together, appreciated the singing and dancing performances at the banquet, and enjoyed this rare happy time.
Suddenly, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open and a guard walked in hurriedly.
He walked up to Lu Shengyuan and whispered a few words in his ear.
When Lu Shengyuan heard this, his face changed.
"Understood. You may leave first." He waved away the guards and then looked at Lin Wanqing. "Qingqing, I have something to take care of. I need to leave for a while."
"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded.
Lu Shengyuan stood up and left, leaving Lin Wanqing and Xia Yiyi at the banquet.
"Sister, what happened to the prince?" Xia Yiyi asked curiously.
"I don't know." Lin Wanqing shook his head. "Maybe there's something urgent."
"Oh." Xia Yiyi nodded and continued to taste the food.
Lin Wanqing was a little absent-minded. She didn't know what urgent matter Lu Shengyuan had encountered and hoped that he would be safe.
It was a long time before Lu Shengyuan returned to the banquet hall.
His complexion had returned to normal, but there was still a hint of fatigue between his brows.
"Prince, are you okay?" Lin Wanqing asked with concern.
"It's okay." Lu Shengyuan shook his head. "It's just a few minor things. I've already taken care of them."
"That's good." Lin Wanqing nodded, feeling relieved.
The banquet continued in a warm atmosphere.
Lin Wanqing and Xia Yiyi had a great time at the banquet. They chatted with everyone, drank, and enjoyed the singing and dancing performances.
Suddenly, a dancer accidentally bumped into Lin Wanqing, knocking over her wine glass and spilling the wine all over her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The dancer apologized quickly, looking flustered.
"It's okay." Lin Wanqing said tolerantly, "You didn't mean it."
However, the dancer took advantage of Lin Wanqing's inattention and stuffed a ball of paper into her hand.
Lin Wanqing was stunned and subconsciously clenched the paper ball.
She looked up at the dancer, only to find she had disappeared into the crowd.
Lin Wanqing's heart was filled with alarm. She had a premonition that there must be some secret hidden in this paper ball.
She calmly hid the paper ball in her sleeve and continued chatting and laughing with everyone.
Finally, the banquet was over.
Lin Wanqing and Xia Yiyi said goodbye to everyone and returned to their own yard.
"Sister, are you okay?" Xia Yiyi looked at the wine stains on Lin Wanqing's body and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Lin Wanqing shook her head. "You go back first. I want to change my clothes."
"Okay." Xia Yiyi nodded and left the room.
Lin Wanqing waited until Xia Yiyi left before taking out the paper ball.
She carefully unfolded the paper ball and saw a line of words written on it: "Be careful of the people around you."
Lin Wanqing was shocked and didn't know what this paper ball meant.
She thought carefully about today's banquet and found nothing unusual.
So, who gave this paper ball?
Lin Wanqing frowned, his heart full of doubts.
She decided to investigate secretly to see if there was anything wrong with the people around her.
In the next few days, Lin Wanqing began to pay attention to the people around him.
She discovered that the servants in the mansion seemed to be secretly spying on her, and some of them were behaving in a mysterious and suspicious manner.
Lin Wanqing remained calm and observed secretly.
At the same time, she also strengthened her guard to prevent being plotted against secretly.
However, she found no useful clues.
Just then, Xia Yiyi suddenly came to her.
"Sister, I have something to tell you." Xia Yiyi looked solemn.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wanqing asked.
"I...I..." Xia Yiyi hesitated, "I heard that someone in the mansion wants to harm you."
"What?" Lin Wanqing was shocked when he heard that.
She didn't expect that her premonition would come true.
"Who is it? Who wants to harm me?" Lin Wanqing asked hurriedly.
Xia Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head.
"I don't know," she whispered. "I just heard it from someone else. I don't know who it was."
"It's okay." Lin Wanqing patted her hands. "Thank you for telling me this news. I will be careful."
"Sister, you must be careful." Xia Yiyi warned, "This place is not like home. People are treacherous here. You must be more careful."
"Yeah." Lin Wanqing nodded, "I understand."
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Xia Yiyi left.
Lin Wanqing sat in the room, with complicated emotions surging in her heart.
She didn't expect that someone would want to harm her just after she got married into the palace.
Who will this person be?
Is it a servant in the mansion, or someone else?
Lin Wanqing decided that she must find out who wanted to harm her and never put herself in danger.
In the following days, Lin Wanqing began to investigate secretly.
She secretly observed the servants in the mansion, paying attention to their words and actions, trying to find some clues.
At the same time, she also strengthened her guard and was cautious in everything, fearing that someone would take advantage of her.
However, she found nothing unusual.
The servants in the mansion were all well-behaved and there was nothing suspicious about them.
Lin Wanlin Wanqing was a little disappointed. Was she too suspicious?
She was unwilling to give up easily and continued to watch secretly.
Just then, an opportunity arose.
That night, Lin Wanqing passed by the garden and suddenly heard a whisper.
She felt something in her heart and quietly moved closer.
"Have you heard? The princess has been secretly investigating us recently."
"Huh? What should we do? What should we do? We won't be discovered, right?"
"Don't worry, we have our own way."
When Lin Wanqing heard this, he was shocked.
She didn't expect that these people actually had problems.
She continued to listen, trying to hear more information.
"What should we do? Should we strike first?" one of the voices asked.
"No, it's not the time yet." Another voice said solemnly, "We must wait for the opportunity and kill with one strike."
"Kill with one strike?" Lin Wanqing felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
