Chapter 341: Entering the Palace
Chapter 341: Entering the Palace
"Why would I be angry?"
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Li Jingyang sighed. He wasn't angry, but this place was just too dangerous.
He's fine on his own, but he's really worried if Lin Rusi is there.
Thinking of this, he said helplessly, "Asi, I'll have someone take you back. It's not appropriate for you to stay here."
Li Jingyang frowned and said earnestly and seriously.
Hearing this, Lin Rusi just pursed her lips: "I didn't come here to see His Highness, I just came here to have some fun."
She absolutely refused to admit it!
And when Li Jingyang looked over, she subconsciously looked away, glancing at the sky and the ground, refusing to look at him.
"Asi, I know you snuck in. Don't try to fool me!"
Li Jingyang stared at her, his voice turning slightly cold.
But Lin Rusi remained absolutely defiant to the very end!
Looking at her expression, it was clear that she was unmoved by his words.
At this point, Li Jingyang couldn't help but sigh, "I'm not forcing you! It's just that it's too dangerous here. Going back is the best choice for you."
Lin Rusi remained silent, simply keeping her head bowed tightly, expressing her protest through her actions.
Finally at his wits' end, Li Jingyang said helplessly, "Asi, fine, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back."
Seeing that he had finally relented, Lin Rusi immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness is glad to know."
As the two looked at each other, Lin Rusi's expression was one of extreme excitement.
However, Li Jingyang couldn't help but remind him, "But you must know that since the Left Censor tricked me into coming here, he will definitely make a move. At the crucial moment, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you..."
Hearing this, Lin Rusi said with a hint of smugness, "Don't worry, Your Highness, they wouldn't dare. I have dirt on them!"
As she spoke, she handed the letter to Li Jingyang: "Moreover, I warned them before I came, and I believe that as long as they have any sense, they will never do anything to harm us."
"Now, Your Highness, can you take me with you on your journey?"
Li Jingyang shook his head helplessly, surprised that she had even thought of that.
He wanted to say no, but Lin Rusi had already said so much, and if he refused again, it would probably really hurt their relationship.
"Of course you can, how could I say no?"
Thinking this, Li Jingyang sighed helplessly and had no choice but to leave Lin Rusi behind.
The next day, the two set off together, and Li Jingyang had already sent people to check the safety along the way.
He simply didn't believe that the Left Censor would behave himself, especially with an Empress in the picture!
Even after they made assurances, Li Jingyang remained vigilant.
Therefore, just to be on the safe side, he specifically asked someone to check the safety along the way before setting off.
What he didn't expect was that even though he had been so careful,
But an accident still occurred on the way!
"Warning! Assassin!"
At that time, he and Lin Rusi were sitting in the carriage, discussing what to do next.
But with a sharp shout, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Li Jingyang subconsciously looked outside and saw assassins appearing out of nowhere, descending from the sky and blocking their sedan chair.
Seeing this, he glanced at them coldly and laughed, "It seems that our warnings from Asi have been useless; some people still haven't taken them to heart."
Lin Rusi couldn't laugh anymore at this moment.
She never expected that the two people would be so ruthless, still unwilling to give up killing them even at this point.
However, this was no longer the time for Lin Ru to think so much.
While she was still in a daze, a large knife slashed in from the middle of the sedan chair.
Lin Rusi instinctively stepped back, but the sedan chair was clearly no longer safe.
Upon seeing the cracked door, Li Jingyang's eyes turned cold. He kicked open the sedan door and carried Lin Rusi out of the sedan.
Only then did she see the scene outside clearly.
By this time, the assassins had surrounded the sedan chair, and the guards protecting them were already fighting with the assassins.
Lin Rusi panicked and quickly tugged at Li Jingyang: "Your Highness."
"Don't worry, I'm here! I won't let you get hurt!"
Li Jingyang spoke with certainty, tightening his grip on her waist as he leaped away.
During this time, he dodged left and right while holding Lin Rusi, and he really did not let the person in his arms get hurt at all.
However, at that moment, an assassin appeared out of nowhere and slashed straight at Lin Rusi with his dagger.
Caught off guard, Li Jingyang had no time to pull her away and could only turn around while holding Lin Rusi, revealing the dagger behind his back.
However, at the same time, Ye Qing also realized what was happening and instinctively rushed over.
As the two blades clashed, the assassin's knife veered off course and flew away.
And then, as the last person breathed their last!
The group quickly dealt with the assassins, but their arrival was quite unexpected. Despite their vigilance, several guards still died.
Seeing the scene before her, Lin Rusi immediately became angry.
She had given this censor far too much face, which allowed him to act so recklessly.
Does the other party really think you won't tell anyone about this?
Lin Rusi sneered, "Your Highness, let's return to the capital!"
It will only take half a day to get back to the capital.
Looking into her determined eyes, Li Jingyang remained silent for a moment before nodding.
The group then turned around and left.
Filled with anger, Lin Rusi rushed back to the capital and went straight into the palace without stopping.
They traveled in a hurry, making no attempt to conceal their whereabouts.
Therefore, a spy immediately reported this to the Left Censor.
A guard rushed in: "Your Excellency! Something terrible has happened! The Prince and Princess have returned, and they went straight to the palace!"
"What?! You're saying they went to the palace?!"
The Left Censor's expression changed drastically, and a chill ran through him: "It's all over!"
The Left Censor originally thought that if he could get rid of both of them on the way, he would have no worries about the future.
But who would have thought that the two of them would actually make it out alive?
What a lucky guy!
For a moment, the Left Censor was filled with panic. He looked at all the property in his home and was reluctant to part with it.
But if they were to actually report this matter to the palace, then not only would they lose these things, but they might not even be able to save their lives.
Having thought all this through, he dared not say more. Looking at his family, he immediately ordered, "Quick! Pack your things now, and leave right now!"
Even if we stop King Jinglie and Princess Jinglie now, it's too late!
The Left Censor knew that if things really escalated, he himself would find it difficult to escape punishment.
So after much thought, I decided to take my family with me and run away; we'll have to figure out the rest later.
When Lin Rusi and her companion arrived at the palace, it was nearly noon.
At this moment, she felt somewhat fortunate that she had brought with her the letter accusing the Left Censor of treason.
Therefore, after entering the palace and meeting the emperor, she did not hesitate at all and immediately took out the letter.
The emperor was surprised when Li Jingyang returned at this time.
"Why are you two here? Didn't you say you went to Linzhou early this morning?" he asked, frowning.
Lin Rusi spoke first: "Yes, but we encountered assassins on the way, so we came back."
She spoke earnestly, with a hint of anger lurking beneath the surface.
Seeing this, Li Jingyang raised his head slightly, his face also very serious.
"What? An assassin!"
The emperor's expression changed. This concerned Li Jingyang's safety, and he could not stand idly by: "Explain yourself!"
