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

Chapter 473: He Will Marry Me

"Your Majesty, Jingyang's wounds are too gruesome, and I'm worried that you might be frightened if you saw them. Why don't we wait until he has fully recovered before we visit you together?"

She was always the one issuing expulsion orders, so it was natural for her to be unable to accept it now that it was her turn.

Just as the Empress Dowager was about to speak, Li Jingyang spoke up again.

"I'm exhausted, I don't want to see anyone."

"Jingyang really knows how to talk. He just woke up, how could he possibly be..."

Before the Empress Dowager could finish speaking, Li Jingyang locked her and the imperial physicians outside.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the door, then turned their gaze to the Empress Dowager, who had also been turned away.

"Why are you all staring at me? Aren't you all going to care about the Crown Prince's injuries?"

Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians glanced at the tightly closed door, their meaning clear, yet none dared to look away.

Only when the footsteps behind them gradually faded away did they breathe a sigh of relief and push back to a secluded corner.

"How should we treat this injury? You know, the Crown Prince's injuries are not minor."

"That's easy. We'll leave the medicine at the door, and the Crown Princess will definitely apply it to the Crown Prince. We, a group of grown men, shouldn't block the doorway."

These words were deliberately spoken for the people inside to hear, so the voice couldn't possibly be too soft.

Then the group placed the ointment they had developed the day before at the door and disappeared.

When Lin Rusi pushed open the door, she saw the ointment and gauze left outside, snorted softly, and then saw several familiar faces.

"Your Majesty, this is the meal prepared by the Imperial Kitchen. Please enjoy."

"No, some people don't need to eat these things at all."

"What are you saying, Madam? Of course I have to eat it, otherwise how will I recover?"

Li Jingyang tried to reach out and take it, but a hand suddenly slapped his hand away.

Before he could understand what was happening, he felt something fall on him and was then pushed into the room by Lin Rusi.

Fortunately, the delicious food wasn't sent away; instead, it was all placed on the table.

"The Crown Prince is truly charming; even after such warnings, she's not going to give up. Or perhaps..."

He didn't exert any force at all, which led to Zhuang Lijuan's misunderstanding.

As Lin Ru thought of this possibility, her face grew increasingly gloomy, clearly wanting to say something, but her gaze paused when it fell on Li Jingyang's bloodless lips.

Forget it, arguing with him at this point is pointless. It's better to let him rest and recover as soon as possible.

Lin Rusi withdrew her gaze and looked at the door next to her.

"Alright, it's good that you're alright now. Changning at home is still making a fuss, so I'll go back first."

"When will Madam return? I need someone to take care of me with all my injuries."

Upon hearing this question, Lin Rusi didn't say a word, but instead opened the door, stepped over the ointment, and walked straight out.

Never expecting things to turn out this way, Li Jingyang wanted to chase after him to explain.

But as soon as he took a step, he met those familiar eyes.

"lady……"

"Get some rest and don't come looking for me."

Having said all that, Li Jingyang really couldn't get any closer, but his gaze remained fixed on the other person.

After hesitating for a while, and waiting until the figure disappeared, he finally looked away and saw the ointment on the ground.

"Your Highness, your wound still needs a dressing change. Should I summon the Crown Princess back?"

"No."

Li Jingyang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Lin Rusi's expression at that time.

He's probably still angry, and calling him back now will only make him angrier. That's one reason. Secondly, he doesn't know how to explain things to him right now.

Thinking about these things, Li Jingyang waved his hand, applied some ointment to his wounds, and lay down on the bed to rest.

Lin Rusi left the palace, wanting to go back and see Changning at home, when she heard a noise outside.

Looking to the side, he saw that they were all ordinary vendors, and he gave another wry smile.

"I wonder how long this will last."

But before Lin Rusi had even left the palace, that figure suddenly jumped off the carriage and appeared in front of her.

How could it be so fast? Doesn't she have any shame at all?

Lin Rusi knew she couldn't avoid it, so she sighed and was about to say something else before kicking the person out.

But before he could say much, Zhuang Lijuan grabbed his arm.

"what are you up to?"

"I don't know how to do anything, but I just saw that the Crown Princess was here alone, so I wanted to say hello to you."

Lin Rusi didn't say much, but stared straight at the other person, then revealed a smile.

"Since that's the case, and the greetings have been given, shouldn't you go back now?"

"This……"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Rusi didn't give the other person a chance to speak and tried to drive her away again.

"If there's nothing else, hurry back. I heard you were put in solitary confinement by your father."

Unexpectedly, the other party found out about this, and Zhuang Lijuan fell silent, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Lin Rusi was certain that she had subdued the man and turned to leave when she heard his angry roar from behind.

"As expected, it was you who did it. If the Crown Prince knew how vicious you were, he would definitely drive you away."

"Drive me away? You've misunderstood. This is entirely..."

Before Lin Rusi could finish speaking, her arm was grabbed tightly, and in pain, she slapped the person in the abdomen.

"You're really vicious, how could you hit me like that!"

"Why did I hit you? You were the one who hit me with your body."

How can you argue so illogically?

Zhuang Lijuan stood there stunned, clearly wanting to retort, when she saw the person walk straight up to her and look down at her again.

When their eyes met, she took a step back out of guilt.

Unexpectedly, Lin Rusi did not stop, but instead stepped aside to avoid Zhuang Lijuan blocking her way and turned to leave.

That expression made her even angrier, and she reached out to hit him, but the other person seemed to have eyes in the back of the head and turned around first.

"What do you want to do? One attack is enough to drive you out of the palace. What if there's another one?"

"Don't be too smug. Right now, it's true that the Emperor and the Crown Prince favor you and can tolerate your actions, but that won't last long..."

What will happen? Why don't you say it?

Lin Rusi frowned, wanting to ask for clarification, when another soft laugh came from the other side.

"You don't need to know what happens next, just know that the Crown Prince will not only have you as his wife."

"Are you now confident you can marry Jingyang? Aren't you afraid of that kick earlier?"

She bluntly stated everything she feared most, thinking the other person would give up.

But to Lin Rusi's surprise, Zhuang Lijuan was not afraid at all, and even showed a smug smile.

"Of course I have a way, and this time even the Crown Prince can't refuse. Just wait and I'll steal all your attention."
