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

Chapter 518: Imprisoned

By the time they all fell to the ground, the wooden planks had been corroded into holes the size of fingernails.

Seeing this, Li Jingyang also sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but step back and hug the person tightly in his arms.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have been able to save this hand."

"Jingyang, what are you saying? I am your wife."

Li Jingyang clearly wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, a hand covered his mouth.

"We are husband and wife, so you are not allowed to say thank you anymore."

"Okay, it's my fault, you're too kind."

Lin Rusi stood there stunned, then felt her forehead being softly touched again.

This action made Ye Ruoruo even angrier, and she roared in anger. She wanted to make a move, but she was stunned when she touched the body.

Having exhausted all her last safeguards, she now has only one person to rely on: Li Jingyang.

But when those eyes looked at the other person and saw that the two were showing affection for each other as if they didn't even notice each other, their expressions grew even more gloomy.

As I squatted down and tried to move, two more hands appeared on my shoulders.

However, this was not enough to stop the other party's actions. In the next instant, he was pressed to the ground, and his face was just a hair's breadth away from being smashed into the powder.

She was quite frightened, and a tear remained on Ye Ruoruo's face.

"Jingyang, we are a match made in heaven, you can't be fooled by this man!"

"Enough! You treat us like sisters, yet you're only thinking about how to break us up so you can take the position of the wife. Isn't that going too far?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoruo's face darkened further. She wanted to roar at Lin Rusi, but her head was pressed down by another hand.

No one expected this, and they let out a soft gasp followed by another sigh.

"Master, this is too dangerous. You should know that this powder is extremely dangerous."

“I know, so naturally I’ll let this person try, after all, she just tried to attack me.”

Li Jingyang's voice was completely flat, as if he were looking at a test question.

But at this moment, Ye Ruoruo couldn't see it at all, and was still shouting that she was the perfect match for Li Jingyang, and that Lin Rusi was the one who poisoned him.

Although everyone was puzzled, none of them suspected Lin Rusi.

The next instant, Li Jingyang was pulled away.

"No matter what, Ye Ruoruo is still my sister. Can you please not treat her like this?"

"You are my wife, I will listen to whatever you say."

Li Jingyang wanted to touch Lin Rusi's face, but he was worried that it was covered in medicine powder, so his hand was stuck in place.

Realizing what the other person meant, she immediately wrapped it in a handkerchief and carefully wiped away every trace on it.

He even wiped his fingernails clean before putting his hand inside.

Li Jingyang's attitude was more lenient, and he even wanted to take Lin Rusi away, but she was forced to stay where she was.

"Isn't this going too far? She is, after all, a woman."

"But she almost hurt you while carrying you, and even tried to take me away. Aren't you angry, Madam?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Rusi hesitated for a moment before finally letting out a sigh.

But without further observing the other person's expression, he turned and walked in another direction.

"Li Jingyang!"

"Shut up! You can't just call me by my name like that."

Upon hearing this low growl, Ye Ruoruo froze and knelt on the ground, looking at the two people in front of her with tears in her eyes.

Their eyes met, and Li Jingyang's face darkened even more. Afraid that Lin Rusi would overthink things, he turned around and pulled her into his arms.

But what he didn't know was that the series of actions he had just taken had made Lin Rusi no longer afraid of being attacked.

However, in order not to let Li Jingyang notice anything amiss, he gave a soft hum and rested his head on Li Jingyang's broad shoulder.

Thinking the person had been frightened, he quickly picked them up and carried them upstairs.

But just as they were about to close the door, another sharp scream came from below.

"No, it shouldn't be like this. All these things are mine, and they should all be mine!"

Lin Rusi paused upon hearing the roar, only to be pulled even tighter by the person behind her.

"Don't be afraid, I don't belong to her, I'll only belong to you."

"You sure know how to talk. Did you eat a lot of honey on this trip?"

"No, I just miss my wife."

Li Jingyang lowered his eyes and kissed that soft face again.

One stroke after another, and soon Lin Rusi, who also missed him, became infatuated, and even took the opportunity to move closer.

Once she had fallen into a deep sleep, Li Jingyang tucked her into the blankets.

But the icy touch startled him, causing him to open his eyes wide and look to the side, only to be soothed by a kiss.

"Go to sleep, I'm not going anywhere."

"Keep your word, don't leave me alone."

His last words were very vague, and he fell asleep shortly afterward.

But when Li Jingyang warmed the blankets, he went out of the room and saw Ye Ruoruo, who was tied up and thrown into a corner by the crowd.

But to everyone's surprise, the other person, who should have given up, started to struggle again, slightly loosening the clothes and looking at Li Jingyang with tears in their eyes.

"That look is really disgusting."

"Jingyang, please believe me, only by being with me can we ascend the throne and live a happy life together."

Ye Ruoruo struggled to spit out the Tibetan cloth that was blocking her mouth, finally managing to utter these words.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang let out a cold laugh and glanced sideways at the guards beside him who hadn't properly tied up the person.

With just a glance, he was so frightened that he knelt down, carefully crawled forward, and stuffed the man's mouth with the rag again.

But the next instant, his fingers were pressed down, and he let out an even sharper scream.

Disturbed by the noise, Li Jingyang reached out and tossed the person aside. He then saw Ye Ruoruo spit out a finger and continue to display her pitiful appearance.

"Jingyang, how can you possibly believe me? We really are a match made in heaven. Why don't you try again? You'll definitely feel the difference."

“It is indeed very different, but how could you possibly make me lay a hand on you?”

Hands-on?

Before I could even understand what was going on, the other person let out a cold laugh.

"Send her back to the capital overnight and have the guards keep a close watch on her. If I find out she has escaped, you will all be executed along with her."

When these words were spoken, the guard, who was already missing a finger, kowtowed repeatedly, fearing that if he hesitated even a step too long, he would lose his life.

Li Jingyang nodded in satisfaction at this situation and turned to look at the seat next to him.

"Your Highness! You still have many trials ahead of you. Without me, you will not be able to escape this deadly predicament."

"Ha, if that situation really comes to pass, it's because I wasn't prepared enough."

After saying that, Li Jingyang looked at the guards again.

The other party wasn't one of those foolish guards; they simply stuffed the wooden block into the other's mouth and then stuffed it shut with cloth.
