Chapter 377: A Second Visit
"Ahem, it's just that you've been too busy."
"I figured, since I had nothing better to do anyway, I might as well make some myself..."
Lin Rusi spoke cautiously, her voice growing softer and softer towards the end, a hint of guilt in her eyes.
Okay, she admits she's really messed up this time.
Ye Ruoruo, completely lacking in decorum, rolled her eyes at her twice and began to take her pulse.
After finishing his work, Li Jingyang stood to the side, his heart filled with anxiety: "Senior Sister, how is Asi doing?"
Ye Ruoruo pursed her red lips, her expression becoming more serious: "To be honest, her constitution is rather weak, and she cannot be overworked."
"I'll prescribe some medicine later, take it first."
"Remember, you must rest well and not act recklessly like this, otherwise if it happens again, the baby in your womb may not survive."
Ye Ruoruo's tone was very serious, without a hint of joking.
"it is good."
Li Jingyang nodded and quickly agreed.
In the silence, Ye Ruoruo hurriedly wrote down a prescription and asked Wanxia to get the medicine.
Lin Rusi felt a pang of guilt under Ye Ruoruo's icy gaze and couldn't help but reach out and grab her wrist, saying, "I won't do it again next time."
Previously, I was too obsessed with pharmaceuticals, which almost led to a major disaster.
Now, she has learned her lesson.
Ye Ruoruo rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache: "You! Asi, you're about to become a mother, how can you be so careless?"
"If something really happens to you, the person next to you will be crying somewhere."
When she suddenly mentioned him, Li Jingyang raised an eyebrow, but did not refute her.
"Asi..."
At this moment, he moved his lips, his deep eyes falling on Lin Rusi's face.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi knew what he was going to say without even thinking, and immediately said, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong this time, and I will definitely listen to you in the future."
She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if anything happened to the child in her womb.
The two were relieved to see that Lin Rusi had truly listened to all their advice.
"Senior Sister Ye, have you found out anything this time?"
After a brief pause, Li Jingyang began to inquire about the important matter at hand.
Ye Ruoruo's expression turned serious, and she lowered her eyes: "Indeed, as the Second Prince said, the palace is in chaos."
"His Majesty's condition is also very bad; he is weak and unable to eat or defecate."
"Is there anyone serving you?"
Li Jingyang's eyes darkened, and his voice grew even colder.
Yes, but not many.
Ye Ruoruo nodded, recalling the scene she had seen earlier: "Now the emperor is barely hanging on, and there is a possibility that he will die at any time."
Lin Rusi frowned, her voice low: "Things have developed so quickly?"
She felt there were too many suspicious things going on.
Ye Ruoruo spread her hands: "There's nothing I can do. The rules inside are strict, and I can't find out any more information."
I wonder who orchestrated this whole thing.
Li Jingyang's eyes changed slightly: "It's alright, let's wait and see."
A fox will always show its tail.
……
The next day.
An uninvited guest arrived.
The second prince wore a moon-white brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist, held a folding fan in his hand, and had a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, what have you thought about what happened last time?"
Li Jingyang glanced at him indifferently: "Second Prince, what do you want to say?"
He wouldn't visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. Last time, he brought news that the Emperor was trapped, but we don't know who was behind it.
The second prince glanced at the servants in the room, seemingly lost in thought.
Li Jingyang immediately understood and said softly, "You may all step back."
"Yes."
The servant left, and the door closed again.
The Second Prince approached Li Jingyang, lowered his voice, and said with a serious expression, "Your Highness, according to my investigation, the Crown Prince holds great power in the palace and has secretly mobilized a large number of people."
"I'm afraid he's long harbored the intention to rebel!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang narrowed his eyes, but his face remained largely expressionless.
"Oh?"
Seeing that he remained unmoved, the Second Prince unfolded his folding fan and said earnestly, "You and I both know the Crown Prince's character."
"He won't give up until he achieves his goal. His cunning and scheming are impossible to guard against. If we remain a disorganized mess, we'll probably be eliminated by him in the future!"
The Second Prince made no attempt to hide anything and extended an olive branch to Li Jingyang directly.
"Has the Crown Prince's actions truly made him a sitting duck for His Majesty, who has been wise all his life?"
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince was taken aback: "Your Highness doesn't believe me? The Crown Prince has already taken control of the situation in the palace. Didn't you already know that we were all stopped outside the palace before?"
Li Jingyang raised an eyebrow, his voice neither warm nor cold, feigning ignorance as he asked, "Does Your Highness know the Emperor's current condition?"
The Second Prince sighed, quite helplessly: "The Crown Prince has planted spies all over the palace. Although I am willing to investigate, I cannot get to the bottom of it."
“Your Highness, if the situation in the palace has changed and the tide has turned, we will certainly be unable to contend with the Crown Prince.”
"And what about the imperial court?"
Li Jingyang's eyes sharpened as he continued to ask, "None of those old guys dared to speak up?"
The second prince shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips: "Most of them have already joined the Crown Prince's faction."
"At such a critical juncture, no one wants to be the first to stick their neck out."
Otherwise, one wrong move could lead to execution.
Li Jingyang did not reply and remained silent for a long time.
"Your Highness, the situation is urgent, and you don't have much time left..." the Second Prince said anxiously and helplessly.
Li Jingyang remained silent, pondered for a moment, and did not immediately refuse, only replying calmly, "This prince will consider it first..."
"Your Highness?"
The second prince found it hard to believe that he was still unmoved even after things had come to this point.
"Your Highness the Second Prince must also know that this matter is of great importance, and I will certainly consider it carefully."
"If I have an idea, I will definitely discuss it with you in detail."
Li Jingyang very tactfully told him to go back and wait.
Hearing this, the Second Prince had no choice but to give up, no matter how helpless he felt.
"Then, I await Your Highness's good news."
Lin Rusi came to find Li Jingyang and happened to see the Second Prince's departing figure, and frowned.
Why is he here again?
"Your Highness."
Lin Rusi entered the room and saw him deep in thought, seemingly pondering something.
"Asi, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be resting in your room?"
For a moment, Li Jingyang frowned even more, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
Lin Rusi chuckled softly: "Rest doesn't mean you have to lie down all the time!"
“I have taken good care of myself and have not suffered any hardship.”
"Sit down first."
But Li Jingyang wouldn't listen. He quickly put two soft cushions on the chair and beckoned her over.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi smiled gently.
"By the way, what important matter does the Second Prince want with you?"
Getting back to the main point, Lin Rusi brought her thoughts back.
Li Jingyang composed himself: "The Second Prince wants to join forces with me to rebel against the Crown Prince."
He said the situation in the palace was now completely under the control of the Crown Prince…
He quickly relayed the Second Prince's words to Lin Rusi without missing a single one.
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi narrowed her eyes with a sharp glint and raised an eyebrow: "No one in the palace is easy to deal with."
