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

Chapter 430: The Crown Prince Arrives

However, Mi Lingjun found it strange that Lin Rusi was still standing there.

After all, if a normal person were in this situation, they would probably be scared by now.

Why isn't Lin Rusi afraid at all?

Mi Lingjun frowned as she looked at Lin Rusi.

At this moment, Lin Rusi also had a provocative look on her face as she looked at Mi Lingjun in front of her.

However, Mi Lingjun had already lost her composure.

"Stop dawdling and throw her in the water right now!"

Mi Lingjun suddenly called out to the guard beside her.

The guard, of course, dared not be negligent.

He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Lin Rusi's arm.

Even so, Lin Rusi remained quite calm.

Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?

Lin Rusi's nonchalant question made Mi Lingjun narrow her eyes.

Mi Lingjun was well aware of the consequences of doing so.

However, there was no one else around.

So even if they knew the consequences, no one would know that Mi Lingjun was the one who did it.

"What if I knew the consequences of this?"

"Besides, look around, there's nobody here! So nobody will know I did this!"

"Give up on that idea, Lin Rusi!"

Mi Lingjun's smile was exceptionally sinister.

He quickly beckoned to the guard to make his move.

At this moment, Lin Rusi raised her eyebrows.

He looked extremely pleased with himself.

This caused Mi Lingjun to furrow her brows tightly.

She really couldn't understand what this woman was up to.

How come she's still not afraid even at this critical moment?

Could it be that Lin Rusi still thinks he's just trying to scare her?

It seems that unless she gets serious, Lin Rusi has no idea how powerful she is.

"You stubborn brat! Let's see if you'll still be so stubborn even after we throw you in the water!"

Mi Lingjun smiled and beckoned with her finger, and the guard immediately understood.

Who exactly do you want to throw into the water?

Suddenly a voice came, and Mi Lingjun answered immediately before she could react.

"Of course we should throw that slut into the water! Aren't you just asking the obvious?"

However, after Mi Lingjun finished speaking, she turned her head and looked towards the source of the sound with a puzzled expression.

However, what she saw completely stunned Mi Lingjun.

Because Mi Lingjun never expected that Li Jingyang would come to this place.

Mi Lingjun had never noticed that corner before.

So she never saw clearly whether anyone was hiding there.

Not only did Li Jingyang arrive, but the emperor was also following behind him.

However, this also means that Mi Lingjun and Lin Rusi had heard everything they said clearly.

In contrast, Lin Rusi now appears calm and composed.

She crossed her arms and watched Mi Lingjun from a distance.

This made Mi Lingjun nervous.

After all, what he had done was far from glorious.

If they all found out, I wouldn't be able to survive in the capital at all.

Mi Lingjun still intended to defend herself, but she realized that she was completely unable to defend herself.

After all, that guard was someone she herself had sent.

Even the little eunuch who had disappeared earlier was entrusted by Mi Lingjun.

Not only that, but now the guards are even pulling on Lin Rusi's hand.

However, the guards who witnessed this scene were exceptionally intelligent.

He shook off Lin Rusi's hand and tried to run away, but was stopped by Li Jingyang's men.

"We can't let him get away. You guys keep a close eye on him."

At Li Jingyang's command, several servants immediately surrounded Mi Lingjun and the guard.

"Spare me... This matter concerning the Crown Prince... has nothing to do with me! It's all because of this woman!"

The guard cried and begged for mercy, knowing full well that angering the Crown Prince would not end well.

However, Li Jingyang frowned, glancing at the noisy guard with utter disdain.

"Drag him away!"

Li Jingyang roared, and his men dared not delay, pulling the guard away one by one.

Li Jingyang also came to Lin Rusi's side.

He reached out and took Lin Rusi's hand.

He asked Lin Rusi comfortingly, as if afraid that she might have been hurt.

"Asi, how are you? Did that woman do anything to you?"

Li Jingyang spoke with great excitement, constantly checking Lin Rusi's body.

They were relieved only after confirming that Lin Rusi was unharmed.

"Of course I'm not hurt, you don't need to do this. She wouldn't dare touch me."

As Lin Rusi spoke, she turned her gaze to Mi Lingjun, who was standing to the side.

However, Mi Lingjun didn't know what to do at this moment, and then she closed her eyes and fainted on the ground.

Mi Lingjun suddenly fainted.

Li Jingyang and the emperor exchanged a glance.

"She's passed out now, what are you going to do?"

The emperor asked Li Jingyang, who was standing in front of him, with great interest.

However, Li Jingyang was unwilling to let Mi Lingjun go.

After all, this woman was cunning and had been trying to kill Lin Rusi.

So how could Li Jingyang possibly let such a menace go unpunished?

But Lin Rusi was unusually calm at this moment, without any emotion.

When Mi Lingjun fainted, she didn't even give her a glance.

However, Li Jingyang naturally understood Lin Rusi's thoughts.

So Li Jingyang summoned his guards.

"Bring me a pot of water and wake her up."

Li Jingyang's voice was unusually cold, which startled the guard.

But he still dared not slack off and did as Li Jingyang said.

Soon, a pot of warm water was brought over.

Li Jingyang then poured the entire pot of water onto Mi Lingjun right in front of everyone.

After the pot of water was poured, Mi Lingjun slowly woke up.

Mi Lingjun only felt afraid when she met Li Jingyang's angry eyes.

Just then, Lord Mi rushed forward as well.

"Your Highness, please spare her life!"

As Lord Mi spoke, he reached out and slapped Mi Lingjun across the face.

The force was so great that Mi Lingjun staggered twice and fell to the ground.

Mi Lingjun stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous.

She simply couldn't believe it—that Lord Mi, who usually doted on her so much.

Now, they're actually attacking me because of this.

"Let me tell you, if you have that thought again, I'll throw you out and never let you back into this house!"

Lord Mi was furious.

At this moment, Mi Lingjun dared not speak casually.
