Chapter 61: Anything is Possible
Chapter 61: Anything is Possible
Fortunately, Princess Lin'an completed all her tasks without any major incidents.
Dong Xiaoyue successfully became Princess Lin'an's little follower.
She was willing to do anything as long as she could stay in the capital.
Lin House.
Just as dawn was breaking, Lin Rusi was awakened by the terrifying images from her dream.
She shuddered and suddenly opened her eyes wide.
She was breathing heavily, looking at the curtains above her head.
She raised her hand, the back of which brushed against her forehead; it was damp and cool, covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
Lin Rusi closed her eyes, recalling the fragmented images in her mind with lingering fear.
Somehow, she dreamed about the solution from her past life.
My death in my past life was so tragic that I still dream about it and am terrified.
Fortunately, she had the opportunity to change that terrible ending.
Lin Rusi looked out the window through the curtains and saw that it was just dawn.
Lin Ru thought of drinking some water, but considering it was still early, she didn't call Wanqi or Wanxia to help her.
She lifted the curtain and got off the bed, then walked to the table and poured herself a glass of warm water.
After drinking a glass of water, Lin Rusi's pounding heart finally calmed down.
Just then, a whisper came from outside the door.
Lin Rusi pricked up her ears, as if she could hear Wanqi and Wanxia discussing something.
"Sister, don't you feel that the Prince cares a lot about Miss?"
Wanqi chuckled, "Isn't that obvious? Miss is the future princess, how could the prince not care?"
Wanxia shook her head. "Sister, that's not what I meant."
"The prince has never paid any attention to any woman before."
"But after seeing Miss, he seemed to become a different person. He spent all day around Miss, clearly cherishing her dearly."
Wanqi was silent for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "If you put it that way, thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be true."
"After the prince saw the young lady, he seemed to become a different person and even asked the two of us to protect her."
“That’s right. I suspect that the prince may have known the young lady for a long time.”
Lin Rusi listened blankly to Wanqi and Wanxia's discussion, and some fragmented thoughts inexplicably flashed through her mind.
Thinking about it carefully, Li Jingyang is indeed a bit strange.
The rumored Li Jingyang is cold and ruthless. Even now, as a leisurely prince, he has never had another woman by his side.
However, after meeting her once in the palace, Li Jingyang actually proposed to her.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been all the entanglements that followed.
For some reason, Lin Rusi suddenly thought of that house; it felt very familiar.
Lin Rusi now has many questions to ask Li Jingyang.
Why did he suddenly propose marriage to her?
Why would he take such good care of her?
Lin Rusi burst out of the door, startling Wanqi and Wanxia.
The two men quickly caught up with her, asking anxiously, "Miss, where are you going?"
"You two don't need to follow me, I'll beg and then I'll go back."
Wanqi and Wanxia looked at each other, a bad feeling rising in their hearts.
Did Lin Rusi overhear their conversation?
After running a distance, Lin Rusi ran back, panting heavily.
She was panting heavily, staring intently at Wanqi, and asked, "Is Prince Jinglie currently bringing good fortune to his wife?"
"what?"
"Go and investigate immediately! I need to find Prince Jinglie!"
Wanxia didn't dare delay and immediately went to investigate.
Meanwhile, Li Jingyang sat under the pavilion in the Jinglie Prince's Mansion, slowly picked up his teacup, and asked, "Is she sure she wants to come?"
"Yes, that's what Wanqi and Wanxia said."
"But His Highness still has to attend court..."
The butler hesitated.
Li Jingyang smiled slightly, and with a clatter, placed the teacup on the table. "If she wants to come to me, why should I go to court?"
"I will wait here for a moment."
The steward frowned, still somewhat hesitant, "What if His Majesty criticizes the Prince for not attending court?"
"Oh."
Li Jingyang calmly replied, "Do you think I'm afraid of his lectures?"
"If I don't want to go, then I won't go."
Li Jingyang insisted, and the butler, not knowing what else to say, lowered his head, took half a step back, and remained silent.
After the steward left, Li Jingyang called his maid.
"Give the order to have the small kitchen prepare some dishes according to the tastes of the second young lady of the Lin family."
"Yes."
With everything ready, half an hour later, Lin Rusi appeared in sight, her steps hurried.
Li Jingyang smiled and filled an empty cup with tea.
Lin Rusi noticed Li Jingyang in the pavilion at a glance. She lifted her skirt and walked over quickly.
At the same time, two or three maids came forward with food and quickly filled the table under the pavilion with food.
Lin Rusi approached and glanced around, discovering that all the dishes were her favorites.
Her brows furrowed into a deep frown, and a question arose in her mind.
"I have never told Your Highness what I like to eat, so how do you know it all?"
Her expression hardened, and her tone became serious.
Li Jingyang remained calm and composed, raising his eyes to meet her questioning gaze.
"Sit down first."
Lin Rusi had a whole host of questions she wanted to ask Li Jingyang.
However, she still calmed down and obediently sat in the chair, saying, "Go ahead and speak."
Her gaze toward Li Jingyang turned sharper as she looked at him again.
Lin Rusi stared intently at Li Jingyang's face, as if trying to see through his features and understand all his thoughts.
Li Jingyang did not avoid Lin Rusi's gaze, but went straight to meet her.
“Wanqi and Wanxia, who are by your side, used to be my people.”
"If I wanted to know, it would be very easy."
This explanation is reasonable, but Lin Rusi feels that things are not so simple.
As Lin Rusi was pondering, Li Jingyang reached out his hand.
"Try it first."
"I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare this. If you wait any longer, the food will get cold."
She hesitated for a moment before taking the chopsticks from Li Jingyang.
She didn't pick up any food directly, but placed her chopsticks on the edge of the plate. "Your Highness, I have other questions for you."
Li Jingyang slowly picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and placed it in the center of Lin Rusi's bowl.
"Try it first."
Lin Rusi felt like she had punched cotton, and helplessly, she could only pick up the food and take a bite.
It melts in your mouth and tastes a level better than what Lin's Kitchen makes.
As expected of a chef in the Prince's mansion, he is truly a talented individual.
Wait, the point isn't the taste of the food.
"Are you wondering why I've treated you so well despite having only met you a few times?"
Just as Lin Rusi was about to ask a question, Li Jingyang preemptively asked.
Lin Rusi blinked, her gaze towards him filled with a hint of doubt.
Li Jingyang raised his eyes, his smile gentle. "Weren't you very curious about this? What, don't you want to know the answer now?"
Lin Rusi shook her head, "This young lady wants to know the answer."
