After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 544: Departure

"Don't worry, I won't cause myself any trouble."

"I just can't quite believe it."

Lin Rusi held Li Jingyang's hand tightly, clearly wanting to say something, but was picked up again.

"It's almost dawn, you should get some more rest."

"Has His Majesty given you quite a few tasks?"

She received no answer, but Lin Rusi already knew the answer.

Neither of them said anything more, they held each other tightly and fell asleep.

When I regained consciousness, it was already noon outside.

Lin Rusi wanted to ask the person next to her if they wanted anything to eat, but when she reached out her hand, she found it was icy cold. Her eyes dimmed slightly for a long time before she let out a sigh.

"We're really going to get busy."

She glanced indifferently at the spot next to her and found that Li Jingyang had already tidied it up, which only made her more dissatisfied.

But he didn't say anything more. Instead, he quickly changed his clothes, left the room, and strode towards the military camp.

As soon as they entered, they sensed that the situation was different, but it was only for a moment before they quickly walked into Li Jingyang's military camp.

"How is the situation?"

"Still the same as before, you need to be careful."

Lin Rusi nodded, then looked towards the back mountain, a more helpless smile appearing on her lips.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have wasted my time on Fan Zhe.

After a moment's thought, Lin Rusi turned her head to look in another direction, and after a long while, she beckoned to a corner with her finger.

A figure appeared at the doorway the next moment.

"lady."

"Find someone to impersonate me and take a walk around the streets. Make sure someone protects you."

"It would be best if all of you were still here."

Upon hearing this, the guard glanced at Li Jingyang standing there, and only after confirming that the other party nodded did he turn and leave.

A moment later, a carriage left the military camp and headed straight into the city.

Shortly after entering, a number of beggars surrounded the carriage, kneeling on the ground and expressing their gratitude to this living bodhisattva.

The people didn't see anything wrong with it and wanted to continue with their own lives.

But just as they took a step, the carriage curtain was struck by something and shattered, becoming embedded in the wall beside them.

The next moment, several people threw off the tattered rags covering themselves to block the view of others.

Before anyone could react, the group had already rushed in, and a dagger was thrust at the nearby guard.

Just as everyone was preparing to act, the roof of the car was lifted, revealing the people inside.

Never expecting it to turn out like this, the guards panicked and quickly attacked the onrushing group.

But in the next instant, Lin Rusi, who was in the very center, suddenly let out a soft cry.

Everyone quickly looked over and discovered that the person standing there had a dagger protruding from his chest.

"lady!"

"It's done, let's go!"

The group of people let out a loud shout, turned around, and immediately realized something was wrong, so they all bit down on the pills in their mouths.

Even so, those men did not intend to stop, and their hands suddenly withdrew.

Upon hearing a mournful cry, the man's lips curled into a smirk, and he collapsed to the ground, dead, spitting out black blood.

When the people saw the blood gushing from Lin Rusi's chest, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and fall to the ground.

"No!"

This sound was extremely penetrating, causing Lin Rusi, who was in the military camp, to look at Li Jingyang in front of her.

"I have to go now."

"Although we were able to disguise ourselves this time, we still need to be careful."

"Of course I know about this, but you need to be careful to comfort the people of Jiangnan. They must be terrified right now."

Li Jingyang nodded, placed his hand on Lin Rusi's head again, ruffled it, then put on his hood and helped her into the carriage full of goods.

Seeing the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and went straight into the tent to continue setting up.

After several days of travel, the carriage finally arrived in the capital.

However, none of them went directly to the palace; instead, they parked their carriages in a secluded corner.

"Go and check around the neighborhood to make sure you know everything I need to know."

Having already addressed all the questions, there was no need for further delay; they left immediately.

In just half a day, everyone returned to this corner.

"What's the situation? Is Prince Yun in the capital?"

"It was indeed in the capital, the weapons and..."

What else?

Lin Rusi's face darkened further, clearly wanting to say something else, when her arm was suddenly grabbed.

"Madam, please calm down. After all, you are practically a dead person now."

"You don't need to worry about those things, I don't care. By the way, what's the situation in the palace? Is Prince Yun in the palace?"

Those who already knew the truth all frowned, cautiously looking around, hesitating about how to speak.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to tell the truth.

“Prince Yun is in the palace and has even had contact with Young Master Changning. I’m afraid he might be bullied.”

To call it bullying is an oversimplification.

Knowing this, Lin Rusi's face darkened even more. After a long while, she let out a sigh and looked directly at the guard beside her.

"You can take me to the palace in Changning where I can rest."

"Madam, do you intend to take the young master away? Won't that raise suspicion?"

"Do you think the Emperor would believe that the Crown Prince made me the victim of an attack?"

The guards were speechless, staring blankly at Lin Rusi who was standing there. In the end, they simply handed over the night clothes hidden in the carriage.

"If Madam wishes to go in, she will have to put on this dress."

Lin Rusi turned to look at the other side, hesitated slightly, then quickly went into the carriage to change into the clothes and rested with the others.

Once it was completely dark outside, everyone began to move.

After all, this wasn't the first time they'd made such a move, and the group easily made their way to Changning's bedroom.

Looking at the pitch-black and silent palace, Lin Rusi sensed something was wrong. Before she could say anything more, her arm was grabbed.

"Madam, please be careful. After all, Prince Yun has stayed in the young master's room. If you go in directly, you may encounter danger."

"Go and test the waters first. If there is no danger, let me in immediately."

Knowing that Lin Rusi was already getting impatient, his brows furrowed even more, he rushed forward in a few quick steps.

Although there was no sound, the surrounding area had been touched to confirm that there were no traps before the door was pushed open, indicating that Lin Rusi could go in.

Upon receiving the news, she went inside without hesitation and saw the little bulge curled up inside.

He wanted to lower his hand to wake the child.

But her hand was already raised, and the sound of a child sobbing came from under the covers.

The sound wasn't loud, but Lin Rusi still heard it and gently placed the person in her arms.

"Baby, Mommy's back."

"Well!"

The child, still sobbing, struggled to open his eyes and saw Lin Rusi standing there. He opened his mouth to cry.

But Lin Rusi immediately pinched that little mouth shut with her hand and patted her back again and again.
