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

Chapter 355: Strange

Tian Lingzi almost gritted his teeth to pieces. He wasn't stupid; how could he not understand what Lin Rusi meant?

"What else do you want? This medicine is already..."

He took a deep breath and emphasized in a low voice.

But Lin Rusi simply raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly.

Her emotions were palpable; she was practically telling Tian Lingzi directly that she was taking advantage of his misfortune.

Seeing this, Tian Lingzi took out a bunch of pills and handed them to Lin Rusi.

Seeing his helpless expression, Lin Rusi smiled smugly, then took out a letter and placed it on the table.

However, her gaze remained coldly fixed on Tian Lingzi throughout, clearly indicating that she was not yet satisfied.

Lingzi opened her mouth after receiving the letter, about to say something, but Lin Rusi had already stood up and grabbed Li Jingyang's hand: "Your Highness, let's go."

After saying that, the two quickly left.

Watching their retreating figures, Tian Lingzi ultimately did not try to stop them.

Li Jingyang had not yet recovered, so after taking him away, Lin Rusi returned to the inn.

That night, after giving him his medicine, Li Jingyang went to bed early.

However, his condition was different from usual. Lin Rusi was puzzled, so she quickly stepped forward and touched the man's head. His temperature was normal.

But for some reason, she always felt uneasy.

……

The next day, when Li Jingyang woke up, it was already noon.

Lin Rusi was reading by the bedside when she saw him wake up. She looked at him with concern and asked, "Your Highness, are you awake? Is anything bothering you?"

She scrutinized Li Jingyang's condition, her heart growing even heavier.

Li Jingyang shook his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes: "How come I slept for so long?"

He couldn't help but rub his temples with his long, slender hands, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

Lin Rusi didn't say anything, but simply placed her hand on his wrist.

Li Jingyang's pulse was extremely strange; it appeared strong but was intermittent.

It was not any pulse pattern that Lin Rusi had ever seen before.

What exactly is going on?

Lin Rusi's face was solemn. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Your Highness, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang shook their heads, seemingly unaffected.

If he had to say something, he felt extremely sleepy.

However, not wanting Lin Rusi to worry, she smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just slept for a while and feel a little tired."

"Okay, I'll go prepare some food for you. After you eat, you can rest for a while."

Seeing his tired appearance, Lin Rusi didn't ask any more questions.

From that day on, she keenly noticed that Li Jingyang's health seemed to be getting worse and worse.

Moreover, he became extremely sleepy, sometimes sleeping for half a day at a time, and was completely unresponsive.

Lin Rusi couldn't find a solution. He had already taken the medicine, so why was there still a problem?

Left with no other choice, Lin Rusi refused to leave and forcibly kept Li Jingyang in Linzhou.

She was really reluctant to take Li Jingyang on a risk before she had a clear understanding of the situation.

That night, Li Jingyang went to bed early again.

Looking at his calm expression, Lin Rusi's worries grew stronger.

Just then, Tian Lingzi reappeared in front of her.

Hearing the noise at the door, Lin Rusi looked up with an annoyance: "What are you doing here?"

Since what happened last time, Lin Rusi has stopped calling Tian Ningzi "Master" and treats him more like a stranger.

Tian Lingzi wasn't angry; he simply said, "Has your prince not been feeling well these past few days? If I told him I could help him recover."

These words made Lin Rusi narrow her eyes: "Could it be that you did it again?"

Her trust in Tian Lingzi had collapsed. Once something happens, it can never be pretended that nothing ever happened.

"This one……"

Tian Lingzi hesitated, not admitting it: "You don't need to know. Just consider it as me making it up to you. I helped him get better. What do you think?"

Lin Rusi looked Tian Lingzi up and down. Of course, she didn't trust Tian Lingzi that much, nor did she think that the other party had any good intentions.

So he hesitated and didn't agree.

"What are you afraid of? You've already given me what I wanted. Besides, I was wrong about that. I was just making it up to you!"

Tian Lingzi spoke sincerely, almost to the point of swearing an oath.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi could only nod and agree: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on you."

She still didn't believe in Tian Lingzi, but right now, she had no way to cure Li Jingyang.

Why not take a gamble!

If anything happens to Li Jingyang, she will definitely not let Tian Lingzi off the hook.

Tian Lingzi was not angry at her wary attitude.

He could understand Lin Rusi's feelings; if he were deceived, he would also feel unhappy.

However, Tian Lingzi didn't try any more tricks. After these few days of treatment, Li Jingyang's health had indeed improved a lot, and Lin Rusi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of Li Jingyang's health condition these past few days, they did not sleep in the same room.

Lin Rusi was afraid that she would wake up the person next to her when she came back to rest at night, so she put another soft couch next to her.

It was used to keep track of Li Jingyang's situation at all times.

Two days ago, Lin Rusi would wake up in the middle of the night, but for some reason, she has been sleeping exceptionally soundly these past two days, waking up the next morning.

Suddenly waking from her dream, she looked up and saw that Li Jingyang's bed was empty.

In an instant, Lin Rusi sat up and instinctively lunged at the bedside.

But the blankets on the bed were cold, as if the person had been gone for a long time.

Just as she was getting anxious, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

Lin Rusi turned around abruptly and saw Li Jingyang walking in another direction outside the door.

Strangely, he seemed oblivious to his own surroundings, walking hurriedly.

"strangeness."

Seeing his hurried steps, Lin Rusi frowned and subconsciously followed behind him.

Li Jingyang walked away very quickly, without even turning his head back.

But the more he did this, the more careful Lin Rusi became as she followed behind him, afraid of being discovered.

But after walking silently for a while, Lin Rusi was surprised to find...

Li Jingyang's destination was actually the suburbs.

Where did he go and what was he doing?

Filled with doubt, Lin Rusi secretly hid in a corner.

At this moment, Li Jingyang finally stopped.

Before long, a woman emerged from the darkness and rushed straight into Li Jingyang's arms.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi's eyes widened. She wanted to go out, but she didn't want to be exposed in front of the two of them, so she could only hide silently.

To avoid being exposed, Lin Rusi kept a distance from them.

From a distance, she could see that the woman and Li Jingyang were standing very close together, looking exceptionally intimate.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi was furious, but she still had some sense of reason and didn't want to alert the enemy.

So he could only suppress his anger and return to the inn.

But Li Jingyang didn't see anyone until late into the night.

He actually spent the whole night with that woman!

Realizing this, Lin Rusi's expression grew increasingly grim.

He stared intently at the things Li Jingyang had left behind and the empty bed.

Lin Rusi frowned deeply, no longer wanting to stay here.
