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

Chapter 514: Ye Ruoruo is Injured

"Can you not leave? It's not safe outside right now. I'll worry if you go out."

"Then let me rest for a few days. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to sleep well."

Lin Rusi didn't give the other party a chance to refute, waved her hand, and quickly walked back to the inn and ran into her room.

To prevent Li Jingyang from entering, they even closed the door and used the method he had taught them to jam the door bolt.

Having done everything, Lin Rusi slowly closed her eyes and collapsed wearily onto the bed.

Li Jingyang, who followed closely behind, saw the locked door and his face immediately darkened.

The bodyguards followed closely behind, and when they saw their master's expression change, they immediately shut their mouths, afraid that uttering a single word would provoke his anger.

But it was this silence that made Li Jingyang even more irritated.

"What has happened these past few days? Why has it turned out like this?"

"The lady has been busy with the refugee issue and can only rest for less than an hour each day. She spends most of her time observing Fan Zhe and the other man."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang's face darkened, clearly wanting to say something else, but he was pulled aside before anyone else could.

But before he could make a move, he saw the pile of grain and Master Fan standing to one side.

Finally understanding what Lin Rusi had done, Li Jingyang couldn't help but sigh. He was about to go upstairs to properly inquire about the two of them.

They had only taken two steps when they heard a rapid clanging of metal behind them.

"what happened?"

"Ye Ruoruo, who returned with you, was assassinated. In order not to harm others, she took it upon herself to go out of the city."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang's face darkened, and he could only turn around and rush outside. But then, as if remembering something, he looked at the soldier who had come to report the news with a puzzled expression.

"You come here, shall the others follow?"

"The others followed them out, and they should be fighting now, but..."

Knowing that everyone had already gone, Li Jingyang naturally wouldn't go over either, and calmly withdrew his gaze and walked upstairs.

But just as he was about to go to the next room to rest for a while and wait for Lin Rusi to rest before talking about things, he heard hurried footsteps downstairs.

Guessing that the person must have returned, Li Jingyang closed his eyes.

But the people outside weren't going to let him rest; they knocked urgently on the door.

"What's wrong now?"

"Master, Miss Ye has been stabbed in the abdomen, and now..."

"I am the imperial physician? Find a doctor to treat this young lady properly; you must save her life."

Then he closed his eyes again, ignoring the rapid breathing coming from the doorway.

After a while, the commotion outside the door finally subsided, and he stood up to calculate the time.

After confirming that Lin Rusi had been asleep for an hour, and hearing the sounds of her tossing and turning beside her, Li Jingyang went out of his room and knocked on the door next door.

The person inside didn't react at first; they were still pretending to be asleep.

Li Jingyang had no choice but to pull out a dagger, stab it inside and then flick it upwards, easily opening the tightly locked door.

"Madam, why are you unwilling to see me now that I'm back? Is it because I haven't been in contact with you before?"

“That’s a battlefield, not some other place. There’s no one there to deliver letters, otherwise I would have sent you letters every day.”

Not getting a response from Lin Rusi, Li Jingyang persisted, resting his head on her neck and breathing in her familiar sweet scent again and again.

The hot, familiar spray made her feel uncomfortable, but the hands were too strong to push away, so she could only turn her head away to try to create some distance.

Li Jingyang, of course, would not allow such a thing to happen, and continued to lean his head forward until his cheek was pressed tightly against the delicate skin.

Untrimmed stubble left red marks on it.

"It hurts."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang finally retracted his head, but he didn't retract his hand from his waist. Instead, he placed the person directly on his lap.

Lin Rusi couldn't help but frown and stare at the other person, feeling like she was being treated like a child.

"I heard Ye Ruoruo was attacked. Aren't you going to see her?"

"So many people care, I don't need to bother with it, and my wife is more important."

Li Jingyang measured her waist with his fingers, confirming that her already slender waist had become even thinner, and his face grew increasingly gloomy.

"When we get back, I'm afraid Changning will say that I made you lose weight."

"There isn't much food here, so it's normal to lose weight because you eat less."

Sensing the other party's dissatisfaction and the unwavering gaze fixed upon him, he couldn't help but soften his stance slightly.

But the next moment, he looked at Li Jingyang in front of him again.

"I want to see Ye Ruoruo."

"Why? I've already said, she's surrounded by a lot of people right now, you wouldn't be able to see her even if you went over."

Li Jingyang couldn't help but yawn, resting his head on Lin Rusi's neck again, and then gently rubbed his chin against his wife.

Again and again, they tried to use this method to deceive people and make them forget about the troublesome Ye Ruoruo.

But she clearly wasn't going to give up. She slid off the person and landed on the ground, staring intently at him.

"Why does Madam want to see her? If you are worried, I brought back a military doctor, and she will receive the best care."

"That was someone I recruited. The person who was assassinated probably mistook her for me."

Li Jingyang, who hadn't cared at first, suddenly burst out with energy and pulled Lin Rusi into his arms.

"If that's the case, I will absolutely not allow you to get close to her."

Why? Is it because you're worried she'll drive him away?

As Lin Rusi lowered her head, wanting to mourn for this fixed trajectory, that deep voice rang in her ears.

That person is not trustworthy.

Why do you say that? Could it be that she made a move against Li Jingyang?

Upon realizing this, Lin Ru instinctively reached out and quickly grabbed his clothes, wanting to check the marks on his body.

But as soon as their faces touched, they realized something was wrong, coughed lightly, and quickly jumped to the other side.

"I still want to see her no matter what, and she was attacked because of me, so I have to treat her wounds."

“Healing is fine, but I have to be there. I’m worried she might hurt you.”

Why do you say that?

Lin Rusi could tell from Li Jingyang's tightly pursed lips that he was extremely nervous.

He had initially thought the other person was worried about Ye Ruoruo, but when his hand landed in the other person's palm and he felt their steady heartbeat, he lost that thought.

"I'll take you there."

"Wait, let me get some medicine so that treatment will be easier."

Seeing her busy, Li Jingyang frowned even more and grabbed the medicine box from the side and hung it on his shoulder.

After tidying everything up, the two went to the first floor of the inn.

"You've come down. Are you here to see Miss Ye?"

"How is the situation, medic? Do you need my help?"

Upon hearing Lin Rusi's words, everyone immediately looked towards the room in that corner.
