SEC Chapter 288: Interrupting Something Good
Chapter 288: Interrupting Something Good
Seeing Tian Lingzi carrying a bunch of medicinal herbs with a smile, not complaining of being tired, Lin Rusi's anger gradually subsided.
Maybe this guy just wanted to have fun with her picking snow lotus?
What bad intentions could a playful child possibly have?
Having finally returned to Suzhou, Lin Rusi felt utterly exhausted, but she still forced herself to stay awake and wait for Tian Lingzi to finish packing up the pile of medicinal herbs.
Why are you staring at me?
Tian Lingzi carefully put away his precious medicinal herbs, and when he noticed that she was staring at him, he was extremely puzzled.
"Detoxification, the residual toxins in the bodies of the people in this city haven't been cleared yet."
Lin Rusi's eyes widened, and she quickly reminded her, "You can't just ignore this!"
"Residual poison? What residual poison?"
After pondering for a long time, Tian Lingzi's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean that? The effects of my medicine can last for several days in a row. That little bit of residual poison should have been cleared away long ago."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi was stunned for a moment, her expression helpless.
She had been worrying about this all the way, fearing that something might happen to the people in the city.
The remaining poison has long been cleared up; they didn't even explain such an important matter to her.
Lin Rusi wanted to get her husband to practice a few moves with Tian Lingzi and talk about life, but then she thought that he was Ye Ruoruo's master and also her elder, so it wasn't appropriate.
Lin Rusi was heartbroken after being tricked all the way!
I asked the guards in the mansion and found out that Li Jingyang had actually gone to Lingzhou to help the prefect of Lingzhou solve his troubles.
What troubles will the prefect of Lingzhou encounter?
Lin Rusi thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason. When she asked the guards, she learned that after the Suzhou prefect fled, he failed to assassinate Lin Rusi and the other person. Unwilling to give up like this, he went directly to Lingzhou.
He wanted to assassinate the prefect of Lingzhou, thereby plunging Lingzhou and the newly stabilized Suzhou into chaos again. Unfortunately, the assassin he sent out not only died on his own, but was also sent by Li Jingyang to protect the prefect of Lingzhou, and by following the clues, he found him.
Li Jingyang's trip was not only to stabilize the order in Lingzhou, but also to bring back the Suzhou prefect and imprison him in a secluded place.
……
The next day, a guard came to report that Li Jingyang had returned to his residence.
Lin Rusi immediately threw down the account book in her hand, picked up the teapot and went to Li Jingyang's courtyard. Seeing that he was also dealing with Suzhou affairs, she simply sat down next to him with the teapot in her hand and drank cup after cup of tea.
"Tell me about Tian Lingzi, such a big shot, how come he does such childish things that only children would do."
"Such a large ginseng root!"
Lin Rusi gestured in the air a few times with her hands: "It costs several thousand taels of silver. Where would I carry so much silver? I even pawned the bracelet I brought from the mansion."
"And that giant snow mountain python, it's so thick, it could swallow me whole in one gulp."
Lin Rusi gestured exaggeratedly and whispered, "Not only does this guy not help, he's also just watching the show from the sidelines."
"Thank goodness we had this bottle of pills."
Her tone was tinged with a sigh as she spoke pitifully. Suddenly remembering the two remaining pills, she quickly grabbed the bottle, took one out, and gave it to Li Jingyang: "This is a good thing. It can save lives in a critical moment. Also, I thought the people of Suzhou still had residual poison in their bodies, but he didn't argue with me. I even thought the fate of the people of this city had fallen on my shoulders again."
"As a result, the poison was naturally neutralized by the remaining effects of the medicine."
She was indignant: "I've never seen such an unorthodox doctor."
"Then why did you buy him those medicinal herbs?"
Li Jingyang found her exasperated appearance somewhat amusing, but he put down the account books and gently soothed his princess.
"Can't we just not buy it? He won't leave if we don't buy it, and the shopkeeper won't let us leave either."
Lin Rusi muttered to herself, "My poor bracelet, I've worn it for so long."
"Given your personality, once you've been swindled out of money like this, you're unlikely to be kind enough to give away medicinal herbs again."
Li Jingyang smiled and leaned closer, exposing her: "I quite like the princess's insincerity."
Lin Rusi blushed and reached out to cover his face with her small hand: "Let's talk this out. Why are you getting so close?"
"What's there to be afraid of? At this moment, no one else can possibly appear except for the two of us."
Seeing her cheeks flushed and showing a rare touch of coquettishness, Li Jingyang felt that his princess was exceptionally delicious.
Speaking of which, ever since I left Beijing, there have been countless things, big and small, along the way.
When they arrived in Suzhou, things went even further. Apart from the few days he was locked in the secret room, Lin Rusi spent more time with the refugees than he did.
Li Jingyang has almost forgotten what it feels like to have a soft, fragrant woman in his arms.
Now that we're all alone, perhaps...
Looking at his princess's beautiful face, Li Jingyang's heart raced involuntarily. He couldn't help but lean down and slowly approach her alluring red lips.
So close, so very close.
Suddenly, a voice boomed in my ear: "Ahem, you two, please don't rush, I'll be leaving right away."
Li Jingyang was shocked and quickly distanced himself, only to see Tian Lingzi standing with his hands behind his back, smiling at the two of them.
Li Jingyang: "..." Suddenly he felt the same way as his princess and really wanted to beat this guy up.
He was so angry he almost ground his back teeth to powder; he was even tempted to kill that clueless torchbearer on the spot.
He quickly told himself, "Don't be impulsive. This is a master doctor; you can't hit him."
You can't hit the miracle doctor!
Lin Rusi was immediately embarrassed when she heard someone speaking. She quickly pushed Li Jingyang away and then saw that it was Tian Lingzi. She was even more annoyed and said, "What are you doing here? Are you here to compensate me for my money?"
This time, Tian Lingzi was unusually silent. He took a bottle from his pocket, tossed it to her, and turned to leave.
"what is this?"
Lin Rusi was puzzled as she held the bottle. She called out twice, but Tian Lingzi didn't turn around. She quickly got up, took the medicine bottle, and went to find Ye Ruoruo.
Li Jingyang's hand, which he wanted to hold back, froze in mid-air. He watched as Lin Rusi disappeared in a flash before his hand fell dejectedly.
He hates!
Why did this miracle doctor have to come at this crucial moment?
Ye Ruoruo's location was easy to find out. With Lin Rusi's current reputation in Suzhou, she could easily ask around and countless people would be eager to show her the way.
……
A short while later, she found Ye Ruoruo in a clinic.
"Oh, a rare guest! What's this? You've finally remembered me since you're not keeping your prince company?"
Ye Ruoruo had been caught red-handed for making fun of Li Jingyang a few days ago and was confined to her home for two days. Now, just thinking about Li Jingyang's name makes her feel resentful.
She complained to Lin Rusi more than once: "Li Jingyang is really nosy. He's not my master, yet he's so controlling."
Lin Rusi was still angry, but seeing her like this, she found it amusing and felt much more relaxed: "Why don't you say this to him face to face?"
Ye Ruoruo's face darkened, and she stared at her resentfully: "Did you come here on purpose to annoy me? Do you have something to say? If not, don't bother me while I'm working."
