Chapter 290: Prefect Su is Kidnapped
After saying that, Ye Ruoruo paused slightly: "You don't know, do you? Master has a rule that he doesn't teach outsiders."
Ye Ruoruo joked with Lin Rusi as usual, and Lin Rusi was also stunned. If there was such a rule, Tian Lingzi would probably have agreed to accept her into his two precious books.
I reckon Li Jingyang is doing it because of me?
Lin Ru couldn't understand, and the room fell silent.
After waiting for a while, Ye Ruoruo realized that Lin Rusi had called her "senior sister" just now!
Ye Ruoruo was somewhat dazed. How long had she waited? Finally, she could hear someone call her "Senior Sister"!
But she quickly came to her senses, her expression somewhat hesitant.
She scratched her head apologetically and stammered, "Junior sister, I'm so sorry. I have some things to take care of these days and I have to leave."
Hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Lin Rusi's eyes, as did Ye Ruoruo's.
After all, Ye Ruoruo was her newly recognized senior sister. These days, their relationship is not the same as before. They haven't spent enough time together yet, and Ye Ruoruo is leaving again.
Besides, Lin Rusi didn't quite understand the medical book, so if Ye Ruoruo were here, she could give her some pointers.
Ye Ruoruo was also reluctant to part with this new junior sister. She had just gotten a junior sister and hadn't had enough time to get to know her, nor had she had enough of hearing people call her "senior sister." Now she had to face separation again so soon.
Moreover, the time required to resolve this matter is uncertain, and it's unclear when we'll meet again.
But Lin Rusi was also afraid of delaying Ye Ruoruo's affairs, so she could only smile and say, "Senior sister, it's okay, just go and take care of your business."
Ye Ruoruo still felt sorry for Lin Rusi. She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She said, "How about this? You tell me what pills and poisons you need, and I'll leave them all for you. That way, you can understand that medical book more quickly."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi nodded in agreement and jokingly said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Ye Ruoruo smiled, waved her hand dismissively, and went back to her room to bring back a whole bunch of things.
She patted her chest proudly and said, "Junior sister, just tell your senior sister what you want, and your senior sister will give it to you!"
Lin Rusi smiled and her eyes crinkled. She let out a few laughs, her smile barely concealed. "Then I'll thank you in advance, Junior Sister. I won't stand on ceremony."
Lin Rusi carefully reviewed the contents of the book, pondered for a moment, and then got up to pack the things she needed.
About half an hour later, she finally finished selecting the items, and with Ye Ruoruo's help, she finally got them.
Looking at the piles of books, Ye Ruoruo's eyes showed a hint of amazement. "Not bad, junior sister. You've already mastered so many of these medical books in just one night. Your comprehension and talent are quite high."
"But there is countless other knowledge in the book; what you know is just the tip of the iceberg."
There seemed to be a hint of nostalgia in Ye Ruoruo's eyes, but she quickly came back to her senses and quietly packed her things.
Lin Rusi helped her pack up, and when she took Ye Ruoruo back to her room, she realized it was already dark.
After a long struggle, Ye Ruoruo fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed.
……
The next morning, Ye Ruoruo prepared to leave, and Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang saw her off to her carriage.
Lin Rusi watched the carriage disappear into the distance, her eyes filled with complex emotions. Who would have thought that just a few months ago, the two of them were at odds because of their differing views?
They even had a fight, but today they've become senior and junior sisters.
This opportunity allowed their relationship to progress further.
With the poison cured, the rebuilding of the city was once again put on the agenda, following the previous system.
People joined in, and they received food and a daily allowance.
Li Jingyang watched this scene, his eyes softening.
Just then, Ye Qing walked over from not far away and immediately said, "Your Highness, we've found it."
Hearing the sound, Lin Rusi turned around in confusion.
"What were found?"
"Actually, I had people investigate the location of the Yan spies in Suzhou after the last incident. Those people who infiltrated the city must have had a base in the city."
Li Jingyang explained gently, but upon hearing this, Lin Rusi frowned slightly, still not reassured.
"What does Your Highness wish to do?"
Lin Rusi was not entirely at ease, after all, they were in the city, and if they acted recklessly...
She was worried that things would get worse.
"Don't worry, the people in the city will definitely know about this. Since that's the case, if we openly challenge the enemy country and let the people know about this, they will naturally feel that we have never abandoned them."
That makes sense, but Lin Rusi was still a little uneasy and sighed softly.
Just as Li Jingyang had said, he ordered his men to surround the enemy spies' encampment that very day, and everyone in the yamen set off.
The townspeople passing by looked puzzled.
"What's going on? Why is this area surrounded? I remember this place was once home to a wealthy and philanthropic man."
"Don't say that. What kind of rich philanthropist is this? I heard that a spy from the Yan Kingdom lives here, pretending to be a philanthropist just to gather information."
"What?! Really?!"
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would Prince Jinglie have sent people to surround this place?"
"So, the prince really is our great benefactor."
"Yeah yeah."
……
Everyone chimed in, and Li Jingyang also keenly noticed this starting today.
Today, as he patrolled, the people in the city worked even harder, and when they saw him, their gratitude was palpable.
Although Li Jingyang remained calm and showed no outward expression, Lin Rusi could tell that he was actually very happy inside.
Lin Rusi gently tied the man's hair back, her eyes tender: "Your Highness truly cares about the people."
"I care about you the most." As he spoke, the man gently pulled her into his arms, his eyes tender.
Actually, the reason she was brought to the frontier in the first place was because they were afraid that the Empress would cause trouble for her and that they wouldn't be able to protect her.
But now it seems that keeping her by my side has relieved my longing.
With a deep sigh, Li Jingyang felt a pang of heartache: "I've made you travel with me all this time."
"What are you saying, Your Highness? It's nothing." Lin Rusi's lips curled up slightly, and she was about to say something more.
Suddenly, Ye Qing burst in and hurriedly opened the door.
"Master! Something has happened!"
Ye Qing spoke hastily, but unexpectedly, Lin Rusi was also there. The two hugged each other, clearly realizing that he had arrived at the wrong time.
Ye Qing's face stiffened, and he quickly waved his hand, instinctively trying to leave: "Master, I was not here, please continue, please continue."
Lin Rusi quickly got out of Li Jingyang's arms, her cheeks slightly flushed, as if she was a little embarrassed.
She coughed lightly twice and poked Li Jingyang's waist.
Li Jingyang glanced at him sideways and coldly said, "Speak! What is it?!"
