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

Chapter 535: Delivering the letter

Li Jingyang noticed Lin Rusi's worry and reached out to hold her hands.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone clean it up. They absolutely won't see it."

"So what? People still heard it today."

And she didn't care that much, since no one in this place would know it was her.

"I will take responsibility for this matter myself, so please don't worry, Madam."

Aren't you afraid that people will see you as the next tyrant?

Li Jingyang didn't say much, but instead gently wiped the cold snort that came from his palm and ordered someone to intervene in the situation where people were still throwing bottles outside.

"Madam is truly remarkable. If you hadn't suggested encircling them from behind, you would have let them go."

The man was clearly too excited and didn't control his voice at all, which allowed many people to hear what happened.

Lin Rusi wanted to explain, but then she noticed that many people had already pushed open the door and were staring at her intently.

"Madam? You are the Crown Princess?!"

Looking at the arm that Li Jingyang was holding tightly, she knew she couldn't say anything more. She wanted to gesture for someone to take the rest, but she was pulled to stand in the center.

"What are your thoughts on today's events? Do you think it's too cruel, or...?"

“What’s so cruel about this? You should know that if we really let them in, we’ll be the ones who die, and our wives and children might even be kidnapped and violated.”

"That's right. If you want to burn, kill, and plunder, you should be prepared for the possibility of being killed in return."

Hearing what everyone was saying, Li Jingyang turned his head to look at Lin Rusi and saw that she had already relaxed and was attacking. Only then did he push her forward.

Before they could even stand still, they were surrounded by a large group of women and children.

"Thank you for your help today, Madam. If it weren't for your ingenious plan, I don't know if my husband, who had only been my husband for a month, would have died on the battlefield."

"At least you left behind an heir. My good-for-nothing son said he would be a burden to the girl and refused to get married no matter what. He almost left this old woman to live alone."

These words were countless, which made Lin Rusi realize that this brutal form was not disliked by anyone, and she finally felt relieved.

She turned her head and glanced at Li Jingyang standing behind her, her eyes reddening as she smiled.

"Rest assured, all the mistakes are my fault. Madam will only do the right thing."

Li Jingyang approached the dispersed crowd and pulled the woman, whose eyes were red and brimming with tears, into his arms.

"Okay, don't cry."

"I wasn't crying, it was the smoke and dust outside that made it hard for me to open my eyes."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang remained silent, but smiled slightly and placed the person to the side.

Lin Rusi sensed something was wrong and looked up to see the worry in the other person's eyes.

"Although the matter has been temporarily resolved, the large army behind it has not yet been dealt with. I need to lead men out to welcome General Qian."

"Will there be any danger?"

Li Jingyang couldn't be sure about this situation, so he could only answer Lin Rusi with silence.

It was this appearance that made her realize that things had only taken a slight turn for the better, and that there might be more crises waiting for the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Lin Rusi frowned and reached out to grab the person tightly.

"You won't take the risk, right?"

"Don't worry, Madam, I will absolutely not put myself in danger, but..."

He must leave now and bring General Qian back.

Lin Rusi noticed the irritation in the other person's eyes, silently let go of his hand, got up and walked quickly towards the group of people.

"I will pay close attention to this matter, and you should not take too many risks."

“I won’t take the risk; you should take these with you when you go out.”

Lin Rusi shoved the medicine into Li Jingyang's hands before continuing to walk toward the group of people.

After arranging the follow-up matters, everyone who had been on edge was finally able to go back to their rooms and rest.

The next day.

Lin Rusi wanted to find Li Jingyang to discuss the matter further when she entered the yamen, only to find that he had already led his men to clean the city gates the night before and left directly.

"He really doesn't seem to be ready to rest for a moment. Even a person made of iron would have problems. I really don't know how he made his promise to me."

She shook her head in disdain, then strode out of the government office and headed straight for the porridge shop that had reopened.

She had thought it would be like any other day, but as soon as Lin Rusi stepped into the bustling street, she heard a gasp.

"She's here! The lady has finally appeared!"

"Who is it? What's wrong?"

Before Lin Rusi could react, she felt herself surrounded by hurried footsteps.

What's going on? The traitor finally couldn't resist and is going to attack her?

He wanted to ask the guards to help, but was grabbed by a hand with slightly calloused skin.

"Madam, we didn't know what you liked, so we gave you the best things in our house."

"what?"

"Madam, we have worked so hard for you, please don't find our things unworthy."

What exactly is it?

Before she could even ask for clarification, she was surrounded by cloth, wine jars, and baskets of various other things.

In the end, if the secret guards hadn't been able to stand by and rescue Lin Rusi, she would probably have been overwhelmed by those things.

"These people must be grateful for everything the lady did yesterday."

"There's no need to give them so much, considering they're still struggling."

The guards knew this was true, but none of them responded. Instead, they had the items placed on the ground in front of them.

On one side, it was like a celebration, while on the other side, the Liang Kingdom, knowing the situation of the war, angrily swept everything off the table.

"Why did it turn out like this? Those were tens of thousands of soldiers, wiped out so easily?!"

"I'm afraid someone among them came up with a brilliant plan. I heard that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were involved."

Upon hearing this, the other person's face darkened further, and he raised his hand to slap the other person across the face.

"Why didn't you say something so important earlier? Prince Yun didn't say they would have such intelligence."

The more he talked, the angrier he became. He picked up a carrier pigeon from its cage, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Since it's his problem, he should solve it himself."

"what do you mean……"

Before the other person could finish speaking, he was slapped to the ground again.

He carefully picked up the ink stick, quickly ground the ink, so that his master could write a letter to Prince Yun.

Only after he knew the carrier pigeon had flown away did he dare to exhale a breath of stale air.

Just a few days after the letter was sent out, another problem arose.

However, it wasn't Li Jingyang, but General Qian who was slowly making his way through the mountains.

"General, I heard from the mountain people that the group from Jiangnan has been almost completely wiped out. Should we still go to their aid?"

"Not going? You'll write back to His Majesty saying that things have been taken care of before we even arrived?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately shrank back and hid in the back of the column.

They thought this would bring some peace, but before the horses had gone far, General Qian's helmet was knocked off by an arrow.
