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

Chapter 150: Rescue

Soon everyone on the ship was killed, leaving only the four of them.

The lake water has been stained red with the blood of these ordinary people.

Those watching the spectacle from the shore also realized the gravity of the matter.

Soon the Imperial Guards of the capital arrived upon hearing the news.

"Lord Ye, what's going on?" Xiao Luo, the commander of the Imperial Guards, arrived upon hearing the news.

At this moment, we also saw the lake surface stained red with blood.

They quickly realized the importance of this matter.

"Commander Xiao, our prince and princess were boating on the lake when they unexpectedly encountered assassins. None of the boatmen here are willing to help, and we are truly at a loss."

Upon learning that the person currently on the ship was Li Jingyang, none of them dared to be negligent.

At this moment, they quickly gathered people to go and help.

The assassins naturally noticed the situation on the shore and knew that they were outnumbered and no match for the enemy.

Left with no other choice, they had to abandon the operation for now.

Only then did he look coldly at Li Jingyang.

"Your Highness is indeed extraordinary. You managed to hold your own against all of us for so long by yourself. I admire you greatly. In that case, we will spare your life for now. We will come back one day."

After saying that, the group of people disappeared into the water right under everyone's noses.

Seeing this, Wanqi tried to chase after him despite her injuries, but Lin Rusi stopped her.

"Wanqi, you're already injured, why are you still trying to be brave? Now come back with me to rest, neither of you can afford any accidents."

Lin Rusi took the initiative to speak at this moment.

"But... we can't let these people get away like this, otherwise it won't be easy to find them."

After thinking about this, I felt a little hesitant, but to my surprise, Lin Rusi insisted.

"No, you're already injured, you can't keep pushing yourself like this."

The two of them had just been pulled out of the water and were feeling somewhat dizzy.

It's simply impossible to chase after those people now.

It was only then that they noticed that Li Jingyang was also injured, and his clothes were completely stained with blood.

Seeing this, they realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly helped the person up, looking at him with concern.

"Are you OK?"

"It's just some minor injury, nothing serious, you don't need to be afraid."

Seeing that someone finally came to help, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

If I don't protect Lin Rusi properly this time, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

When Xiao Luo saw Li Jingyang, he also bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me."

"It's alright, you arrived at just the right time."

"For such a thing to happen within the capital's borders is a dereliction of duty on my part..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Luo also felt somewhat uneasy.

If the prince really pursues the matter, this matter could also lead to his conviction, so he was somewhat uneasy.

"It's alright, nothing serious."

Ye Qing then stepped forward.

“Your Highness, we wanted to come and help just now, but no one around here was willing to lend us their boat. We were helpless just now. If it weren’t for Commander Xiao, the consequences would have been unimaginable…” Ye Qing said, still feeling angry as he thought about what had just happened.

After learning the answer, Li Jingyang was not particularly surprised.

"It seems someone informed them in advance."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang knew that someone must have taken care of this matter beforehand.

Otherwise, with so many people, how could there not be a single person willing to help?

Unless they have already received benefits from others, they would not make this choice.

"what do you mean……"

After Ye Qing finished speaking, she noticed that the prince's hand was injured.

"Your Highness, you are injured... Don't worry, I will find a way to investigate this matter. Now, please go back and recover."

"Hmm! That's fine too..."

He didn't pay much attention to his superficial injuries.

However, considering that Lin Rusi had been somewhat frightened today, he decided to go back first.

A person was about to leave when Xiao Luo blocked their way.

"Commander Xiao, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Ye Qing felt extremely dissatisfied with the matter. In the capital, there were very few people who dared to stop his prince.

Xiao Luo was in a dilemma, as he dared not offend Li Jingyang.

However, this matter is of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated.

"Commander Xiao, speak frankly."

"Your Highness, the capital is within my jurisdiction. Now that such a thing has happened, it should be investigated thoroughly. Currently, only you and the Princess Consort know the specifics of this matter. Therefore, we hope that you and the Princess Consort can come to the palace with us to investigate the truth of this matter so that His Majesty can be at ease."

After saying this, Xiao Luo knew that this was the only way.

The guards around him were all dissatisfied, especially Ye Qing.

"Commander Xiao, didn't you see that our Prince is injured? If you have something to say, can't you wait until we get back and his wounds are treated before you speak?"

Seeing this situation also gave me a headache. This person is good in every way, but sometimes their temper is just too stubborn.

Once they've made up their minds, they're unwilling to change.

Sometimes it can make people feel disgusted.

"Lord Ye, it is my duty. I hope Your Highness can cooperate."

He noticed it too, but it was just a minor injury, so it wouldn't matter if it took a little longer.

Lin Rusi is well protected and there are no problems at all, which is why she made this request.

“Your Highness, we don’t need to pay attention to him. Even if the Emperor finds out about this, he won’t blame you.”

Ye Qing was somewhat angry, not expecting that he would be so disrespectful to his own prince.

Upon hearing this, Commander Xiao remained silent.

Although I know my request is indeed a bit excessive, it is my duty to do this, and I cannot let him go easily.

"Your Highness, I hope you and the Princess can cooperate with my work."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

My own injury is really nothing serious, but it would be bad if Lin Rusi were affected by it.

Just as he was about to refuse, Lin Rusi, who was beside him, spoke up on his own initiative.

“Your Highness, I think the official is right. If your injury is not serious, why don’t we go to the palace with the official?”

Lin Rusi took the initiative to speak, realizing that if the two of them didn't go today, Xiao Luo probably wouldn't let it go easily.

Rather than creating unnecessary trouble, it's better to resolve this issue.
