Chapter 422: Heartless
But the chief eunuch knew the truth.
Of course, the emperor missed his little grandson.
That's why they rushed to Li Jingyang's and the others' palace.
However, the chief eunuch dared not say a word along the way, for fear of displeasing the emperor.
Finally, they arrived at Li Jingyang's palace.
The palace gates were tightly closed, indicating that Lin Rusi was still resting.
So the emperor issued an order that Lin Rusi should not be disturbed.
Then, the group slowly made their way to the side hall.
However, Li Jingyang entered his own palace early.
Lin Rusi was still fast asleep and showed no signs of waking up.
After all, Li Jingyang has been dealing with all sorts of things these past few days, and he's been extremely busy.
Therefore, Lin Rusi had more and more contact with the children.
Lin Rusi had just breastfed her child and was now asleep for a long time.
However, the wet nurse was holding the baby and gently soothing him.
Seeing Li Jingyang rush to see the child, she immediately handed the child to him.
But to his surprise, Li Jingyang only glanced at the child briefly before turning away.
This left the wet nurse somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.
"Oh dear, Changning, you're really pitiful. His Highness the Crown Prince only glanced at you before leaving."
The wet nurse helplessly comforted the baby in her arms, then turned her head and saw Li Jingyang's figure.
At this moment, Li Jingyang was sitting next to Lin Rusi's bed, staring intently at Lin Rusi's face.
He would even touch Lin Rusi's face from time to time.
Even so, Lin Rusi, who was fast asleep, was not woken up.
However, at that moment, the emperor entered the side hall.
The wet nurse immediately bowed upon seeing the emperor's arrival.
But the emperor helped the wet nurse up and took the child from her arms.
"Oh my, look at my big fat grandson, he's gotten so fat these past few days."
When the emperor saw the plump and fair-skinned Changning, he felt exceptionally pleased.
While teasing him, she had the eunuch bring out the prepared toys.
"Look what Grandpa has prepared for you."
The emperor took a small rattle drum and waved it in front of Changning.
This made Changning cry out and reach out to grab the rattle drum.
The emperor's voice also attracted Li Jingyang in the main hall.
What brings you here?
Li Jingyang frowned, looking curiously at the emperor in front of him.
However, the emperor held Changning in his arms and glanced briefly at Li Jingyang.
"Why can't I even come to see my little grandson?"
The two of them stared at each other, feeling somewhat awkward.
But in the end, it was broken by Changning's cries.
"What's going on? Why is my grandson crying!"
The emperor was at a loss for what to do and burst into tears as he looked at Changning in his arms.
The wet nurse immediately stepped forward and took Changning into her arms.
"Your Majesty, perhaps it's because you're holding the prince incorrectly..."
The wet nurse held the child tightly in her arms, gently patting his back.
It took a while for Changning to stop crying.
The emperor smiled somewhat helplessly, left the toys behind, and returned to his palace.
However, Li Jingyang also quietly returned to his bedside and continued to observe Lin Rusi.
It's unclear whether Lin Rusi was awakened by Li Jingyang's watchful gaze or by Changning's cries.
But as soon as Lin Rusi opened her eyes, she saw Li Jingyang right in front of her.
Lin Rusi looked around blankly.
Unable to find Chang Ning, he helplessly pursed his lips.
Seeing Lin Rusi's appearance, Li Jingyang frowned in confusion.
"What's wrong? Asi, is something the problem?"
Hearing Li Jingyang's words, Lin Rusi closed her eyes helplessly and shook her head.
"I think I just heard Changning crying? How come you're here? Where is Changning?"
Lin Rusi asked with great concern, constantly searching for the child with her eyes.
Moreover, after Lin Rusi couldn't find the child, she summoned other palace maids to inquire where the child had gone.
This provoked fierce dissatisfaction from Li Jingyang, who was sitting by the bed.
After all, he had been by the bedside for so long.
Why did Lin Rusi think of the child first, not him, when she opened her eyes?
This made Li Jingyang close his eyes in sadness.
Lin Rusi was relieved when she heard from a palace maid that Changning had fallen asleep in a side hall.
"I'm relieved that she's already asleep."
Lin Rusi sighed and lay back down on the bed.
But at this moment, Li Jingyang realized that Lin Rusi didn't care about him at all.
Even though he was so busy every day that he didn't have time to spend with Lin Rusi.
Lin Rusi showed no sign of disdain.
"Asi, how come you don't care about me at all!"
“I haven’t spent much time with Asi these past few days, but Asi doesn’t blame me at all!”
"You don't see me at all, you only see that child!"
Li Jingyang began to speak, feeling wronged.
"You have no conscience! You don't love me at all, you only love the children!"
Li Jingyang became even more excited at this point.
He kept repeating the fact that Lin Rusi didn't love him.
This made Lin Rusi feel extremely embarrassed.
After all, Lin Rusi felt that Li Jingyang had been exceptionally busy these days and didn't want to bother him.
But little did they expect that Li Jingyang was thinking that way.
This made Lin Rusi feel somewhat guilty.
She quickly reached out and grabbed Li Jingyang's sleeve, whispering words of comfort to him.
"Jingyang...don't say that, how could I not love you? I would never stop loving you, no matter who else I love!"
"I'm just worried you're working too hard, oh dear!"
"Changning is still young, why are you comparing him to you!"
"Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
As Lin Rusi spoke, she kissed Li Jingyang's cheek.
The other palace maids, seeing this scene, all lowered their heads.
They left their palace very quickly.
Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Rusi finally felt relieved.
She nestled directly into Li Jingyang's arms, and the two kissed intimately.
"Don't be angry, Jingyang. Of course I care about you! Oh dear, how could you think like that..."
Lin Rusi kept comforting the heartbroken Li Jingyang in front of her.
At this moment, Li Jingyang also realized that he was indeed being a bit childish.
How can you keep trying to take Lin Rusi away from your own son?
This immediately extinguished Li Jingyang's previous arrogance.
He held Lin Rusi tightly in his arms.
He kissed Lin Rusi with peace of mind.
The two of them cuddled together for a long time before they finally comforted Li Jingyang.
Lin Rusi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Jingyang was alright.
"Let's not think like that anymore, okay? I promise I will always love you."
Hearing Lin Rusi's words, Li Jingyang was relieved and nodded.
He held Lin Rusi in his arms with peace of mind.
