Chapter 339: The Sent-Out Memorial
Seeing that he had agreed, the Left Censor felt relieved and became even more smug.
Without Li Jingyang, he wanted to see how Lin Rusi would protect herself all by herself.
Besides, even if Li Jingyang went, I would be in trouble myself, so how could I have the mind to care about anything else?
Thinking this, after the court session, the Left Censor-in-Chief specifically stopped Li Jingyang: "Your Highness, will you be angry if I say this?"
His face was full of guilt, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his lowered eyes.
Li Jingyang didn't take his pretense to heart and smiled sarcastically: "Of course, I don't care at all. Besides, it's all for the people, so it's only right."
"I am relieved that Your Highness thinks this way. However, please take good care of yourself during your trip to Linzhou."
The Left Censor spoke slowly and deliberately, clenching his teeth.
His words were ambiguous, and Li Jingyang didn't want to delve into them. He simply smiled casually and quickly returned to the Jinglie Prince's Mansion.
This matter could not be kept from Lin Rusi, of course. After learning the whole story, she was immediately furious and slammed her hand on the table: "These two are indeed shameless. They clearly knew this was not a good job, but they deliberately dragged this matter into your hands!"
"It's nothing, someone has to go to Linzhou when there's a severe drought."
Li Jingyang didn't care. In fact, he himself wanted to go to Linzhou to take a look.
"How can that be? They're clearly making things difficult for us because we have something on them, and there's nothing we can do about it?"
She and Li Jingyang had finally returned to the capital. They had been separated for so long and had finally reunited. Now, after only a few days, they had to part again. Naturally, Lin Rusi was reluctant to part.
At the same time, she became even more furious, and her dissatisfaction with the Left Censor and the Empress grew stronger: "No, I'm going to the palace! I want to see just how shameless those two can be!"
Lin Rusi stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with displeasure.
Seeing her like this, Li Jingyang felt even more helpless, but he did not stop her.
Although he didn't care about the matter, it didn't seem like he was being schemed against for no reason.
Thinking of this, he whispered, "Wait, don't be in such a hurry. Let Ye Qing follow you."
Without his interference, Lin Rusi was naturally fearless.
She stormed into the palace, fists raised.
Meanwhile, the empress was extremely pleased with herself.
He was certainly aware of what had happened in the court today, and the thought of Li Jingyang being forced to go to Linzhou filled him with a sense of exhilaration.
Unfortunately, at that moment, Lin Rusi entered the main hall.
Seeing the smug look on the Empress's face, she frowned, and her anger erupted.
Lin Rusi strode forward and said sarcastically, "Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood. It looks like something good is about to happen."
Unexpectedly, she arrived at this time. The Empress's expression froze, and she gave an awkward smile: "It's not a good thing, I just heard a joke."
But isn't this joke just about her and Li Jingyang?
Seeing her feigning indifference, Lin Rusi glared at her, her pretty face finally breaking into a rage: "Your Majesty, I have already given you enough face; it is you who do not want it."
Her words were not tactful, and carried a hint of warning: "I have come here today to tell Your Highness not to make any more rash moves, or I will make sure you and Lord Zuo die without a burial place."
Even with the Empress, the palace maids, and the nannies all present, Lin Rusi remained arrogant, clearly knowing that the Empress would never publicize the matter.
"You..." The Empress pointed angrily at Lin Rusi, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Rusi continued, "Your Majesty, don't forget why I've been tolerating you. If you truly anger me, there are some things you don't need Your Majesty's help with; I can do them myself."
Upon hearing this, the Empress's face paled. Of course, she knew why Lin Rusi had asked this.
If the emperor really finds out this time, she's finished.
Having been empress for so many years, he wasn't stupid, so he stiffly forced a smile and said, "Of course I know, I won't do anything more."
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have lost a battle, and hung her head in dejection.
Although the Empress's character was not very good, she was a woman of her word, and after that day, she truly settled down.
After Lin Rusi returned, she sent more people to guard Fang Yun.
Although the Empress had given her assurances, she was still uneasy, fearing that the two wouldn't be content to be threatened like this and might send someone to kidnap Fang Yun, which would make things even more complicated.
Lin Rusi was not willing to see that scene!
Having dealt with the Empress, Lin Rusi had no intention of letting the matter rest.
That Left Censor openly targeted Li Jingyang in the court. Such arrogance deserves to be taught a lesson.
Without Li Jingyang's knowledge, Lin Rusi rushed to the Left Censor's residence.
When the Left Censor heard that Lin Rusi had come alone, he was immediately shocked.
But remembering what the Empress had said, he dared not hesitate. He hurriedly came out, a fawning smile on his face: "Why has Princess Jinglie come? This humble official was unprepared and has failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Lin Rusi, however, showed him no respect whatsoever, and instead sneered, "Imperial Censor Zuo, I have come to see you today not for anything else, but for your unspeakable secret. I advise you not to say it in public."
"If you don't want your secret to be exposed, why don't we find a room and have a good talk?"
Lin Rusi spoke slowly and deliberately, emphasizing the words "let's have a good chat."
The Left Censor was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
But he reacted very quickly: "Why don't we go to my tea room to chat? I'll have some good tea prepared so we can have a good talk."
The Left Censor made a pointed remark, and Lin Rusi immediately understood, following his footsteps to the tea room.
"I didn't expect the Left Censor to be so bold as to openly target the Prince in the court. You don't need to refute me. I suppose you know that I have something on you, right?"
Lin Rusi looked at her with a cold smile, speaking without any mercy.
The Left Censor was taken aback and subconsciously clenched his fist: "This humble official does not understand what the Princess is talking about."
"Your Excellency, you need not be ignorant. I have come here today to tell you that if anything happens to His Highness during his trip to Linzhou, do not blame me for being impolite to Your Excellency and his family!"
"At that time, I will make sure that your Zuo family disappears from the face of the earth!"
Her voice was sharp, and a murderous aura swept over us instantly.
This made the Left Censor gasp, but he felt a little disdainful. She was just a Princess Consort of Jinglie, someone who depended on the Prince of Jinglie for survival.
Thinking of this, he crossed his arms and looked at her coldly: "Your Highness, I would like to know how Your Highness intends to be impolite to us? And how you intend to make our Zuo family disappear without a trace?"
He felt mocked and smiled smugly: "Does Your Highness really think that the affair with the Empress can be used to threaten us?"
Lin Rusi slowly raised her eyes, her gaze as if she were looking at a fool.
Then, she slowly took out a letter from her bosom: "Yesterday at Hai hour, the guards in your mansion delivered this. I wonder if you still remember it?"
