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

Chapter 396: Meeting the Two Imperial Concubines

"I never imagined he could be such a beast! Don't let me catch him, or I'll tear him to pieces!"

Ling Xue'er's eyes were filled with anger that she couldn't hide at all.

Lin Rusi noticed this as well and immediately reached out to comfort Ling Xue'er.

"We will make the Second Prince pay the price for this matter no matter what. We can't let him get away with it."

After Lin Rusi finished speaking, Ling Xue'er became even more upset and angry.

"I'd better go out and kill him now. This kind of beast shouldn't be allowed to live in this world!"

Seeing Ling Xue'er's impulsive behavior, Lin Rusi immediately became anxious and stepped in to stop her.

"Xue'er, don't rush now, we'll have plenty of opportunities later."

After hearing Lin Rusi's words, Ling Xue'er's anger subsided by half.

After calming myself down, I sat down on a chair.

"Why don't we work together and take care of that beast?"

Upon hearing Ling Xue'er's words, Lin Rusi raised her head, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

And so, the two of them finally reached a collaboration that no one knew about.

After discussing the collaboration, Lin Rusi was escorted downstairs by Ling Xueer.

Li Jingyang, who had been waiting downstairs for Lin Rusi to come out, looked up and saw that she had come out safe and sound.

Only then did Li Jingyang feel relieved and let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Asi, I'm so glad you're alright now. I was so worried about you."

As Li Jingyang spoke, he pulled Lin Rusi into his arms and coldly glanced at Ling Xue'er across from him.

However, Ling Xue'er didn't care about Li Jingyang's gaze at all. She gave instructions to Lin Rusi while saying goodbye to them.

"Assi, you must remember to give him that jade pendant, and make sure they don't find out about our collaboration."

After saying these words, Ling Xue'er watched Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi leave.

However, as soon as she got into the carriage, Lin Rusi explained to Li Jingyang her cooperation with Ling Xueer.

“We just talked a lot about cooperation upstairs.”

"The next plan is for us to provide the labor, while Ling Xue'er and the others will provide the money."

"Use poison to completely defeat the Second Prince."

After listening to Lin Rusi's words, Li Jingyang nodded silently without saying anything more.

It seems he agrees with Lin Rusi's approach.

Seeing Li Jingyang's reaction, Lin Rusi was pleasantly surprised.

But Lin Rusi didn't say much, and appeared exceptionally happy.

"Since you agree, that's great."

After the matter was resolved, the two of them returned to the Prince's Palace.

However, the first thing they did upon returning was to secretly visit the Second Princess without the Second Prince's knowledge.

Although this action is indeed somewhat dangerous.

However, under Li Jingyang's protection, Lin Rusi became exceptionally bold.

"Then I'll disguise myself as the Second Princess's maid."

With Ye Ruoruo's help, Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi disguised themselves as a guard and a maid, respectively.

"You two are going there so rashly, you must be careful."

Ye Ruoruo reminded them, looking at Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi in front of her with some concern.

But Lin Rusi just smiled.

"Don't worry, senior sister, we two will definitely be safe on this trip."

Listening to Lin Rusi's witty remarks, Ye Ruoruo reached out and pinched the tip of her nose.

"You little rascal, you've always been so clever and mischievous."

"Alright, senior sister, it's time for us to go."

After Lin Rusi finished speaking, she took Li Jingyang's hand.

After waving to Ye Ruoruo, he left the palace.

Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi made thorough preparations for their trip to the Second Prince's residence.

Although as soon as they arrived at the mansion, the two of them were assigned to other tasks.

But not long after, the two of them met up in the backyard.

After exchanging a glance, the two went to the Second Princess's bedroom.

However, the Second Princess Consort was still embroidering her handkerchief in her bedroom.

The Second Princess was somewhat surprised to see Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi arrive.

"There's nothing more for you to do here. You can leave now."

It seems that Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi's disguise was quite successful.

Neither of the two imperial concubines noticed anything.

It was Lin Rusi who spoke first, introducing herself so that the Second Princess Consort would know.

"Second Imperial Consort, it is our Asi and the Prince."

Upon hearing this, the Second Princess's eyes widened.

She immediately stood up and started looking at her door.

"How...how did you two get here..."

Seeing the surprised expression on the Second Princess's face, Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi stopped pretending.

"The two of us came here to tell the Second Princess Consort some things."

Lin Rusi began to speak, while Li Jingyang naturally stood in front of the door, observing the actions of the others.

"We have met your sister, Ling Xue'er."

Lin Rusi's words made the Second Princess bite her lip tightly.

He seemed very nervous.

"Don't be nervous, she asked us to give you this jade pendant."

As Lin Rusi spoke, she took out a snow-white jade pendant from her pocket.

The second princess accepted the jade pendant with trembling hands.

"What about my sister? Tell me about it..."

Hearing the Second Princess's anxious tone, Lin Rusi took her hand and sat her down at the table, then began to explain.

She told the Second Princess Consort everything that Lin Rusi had found out about Ling Xue'er's identity.

Upon learning the truth, the Second Princess wept bitterly, deeply moved.

"How is Ling Xue'er doing lately... I haven't cared about her for so many years..."

The Second Princess Consort choked back tears as she asked Lin Rusi, who was standing in front of her.

However, Lin Rusi gradually revealed all the facts.

The Second Princess Consort was relieved to hear that Ling Xue'er had been doing quite well in recent years.

"I'm so glad she's doing well, that puts my mind at ease..."

The Second Princess Consort wept with joy, which made Lin Rusi happy as well.

"Second Princess, please rest assured. We have already discussed it and will definitely rescue you in a reasonable way."

As Lin Rusi spoke, she held the Second Princess's hand tightly.

Meanwhile, Li Jingyang at the entrance kept a close eye on every guard and maid who passed by.

Only after finding that no one had come to the Second Princess's bedroom did they enter the room.

At that moment, Lin Rusi was comforting the Second Princess.

"Don't worry, you'll be free from this misery soon."

Hearing Lin Rusi's words, the Second Princess was even happier.

Even though she knew it perfectly well, she couldn't hide the excitement on her face.
