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

Chapter 301: Impure Thoughts

"You..." Lin Rusi wanted to persuade her again, but she didn't expect Shen Yue to turn hostile.

She suddenly turned to Lin Rusi and questioned sharply, "Does Your Highness intend to obstruct me? Or is it that you don't want to see me seek justice for my father?"

At this point, Shen Yue's eyes widened, and she immediately became wary.

Seeing that she was so alert, Lin Rusi was not angry. She just sighed and said, "Fine, if you are so determined, I will not stop you. But you need to think this through."

Her brows were furrowed as she stared at Shen Yue, her eyes filled with worry.

Shen Yue, however, didn't care and waved her hand dismissively: "Thank you, Your Highness, but you don't need to worry about it."

Outside the door, Wanxia was furious.

Wanqi quickly pressed her down and whispered, "She's already pitiful enough. Let it go, don't be angry with her."

Upon thinking of the General of the North, Wanxia's expression relaxed, and she immediately snorted coldly, falling silent.

As for Lin Rusi, she stared intently at Shen Yue for a long while before sighing silently, "Then I won't disturb your rest."

After saying that, Lin Rusi turned and walked out. In fact, she didn't want to care about Shen Yue anymore, but when she thought of the General of Zhenbei, she couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

As she walked to the door, Lin Rusi couldn't help but turn back to look: "Shen Yue, I don't want to interfere with you, but I still want to remind you to think twice before you act."

"Understood, thank you, Your Highness."

Shen Yue readily agreed, but Lin Rusi could see that it was all just perfunctory talk.

Seeing this, she shook her head slightly, closed the door, and went out.

Shen Yue glanced at the closed door and snorted coldly, "Stop pretending!"

……

On the other side, Lin Rusi had already left with Wanxia and Wanqi, who were much angrier than Lin Rusi.

"Your Highness, if you ask me, you shouldn't have bothered with her! That woman is simply ungrateful."

"Forget it, she has impure intentions, but her background is pitiful. I didn't see it before. But if she really makes up her mind, there's nothing I can do."

Lin Rusi shook her head, her expression clearly showing some regret.

The next day, Lin Rusi stopped paying attention to Shen Yue. However, she did not expect that Shen Yue was not only thinking about entering the palace, but also about things she shouldn't be thinking about.

She came to find Li Jingyang, but saw Shen Yue leaving the room with a resentful look on her face.

This made Lin Rusi frown, and she unconsciously quickened her pace.

In the room, Li Jingyang had a cold expression, with a cup of hot soup in front of him.

What is Shen Yue doing here?

She walked straight over, smelled the soup, her expression froze slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Li Jingyang in shock.

"This soup was sent by Shen Yue?" Although the tone was questioning, the words were full of certainty.

When Li Jingyang saw that it was her, he helplessly reached out his big hand and took her small hand, his expression becoming much gentler: "She came by, but I didn't drink. I felt that her eyes were strange."

The moment Li Jingyang saw Shen Yue, he sensed something was wrong. The girl's eyes held a burning ambition that made him extremely uncomfortable.

At that time, out of sympathy for Lin Rusi, Li Jingyang didn't say much.

Moreover, the other party was the orphan of the General of the North, so Li Jingyang wanted to take care of him a little.

She naturally agreed, but now she's even adding that stuff to the soup.

It's obvious that his intentions are not pure.

Noticing Lin Rusi's displeasure, he sighed and turned to look at her: "Don't worry, I haven't fallen for her tricks. No matter how she tries to seduce me, I won't fall for it."

As he spoke, he chuckled softly.

Lin Rusi sighed in exasperation, then said seriously, "However, there is one thing that I really find strange."

"Why would she try to seduce you? Could it be that she wants you to send her to the palace? But if that's the case, it will only make the Emperor more wary of her."

Lin Rusi kept guessing, and upon hearing this, Li Jingyang nodded: "Whatever her intentions are, it has nothing to do with us. We'll just send her away. However, we still need to explain things clearly to Tian Lingzi."

"Yes, I'll send her away and make arrangements for her future. It's better for her to grow up. But what she chooses after that is her own business, right?"

Lin Rusi's eyes showed some displeasure; that moment of possessiveness made her regret leaving Shen Yue behind.

"Yes, she did something wrong, but we still need to tell Tian Lingzi."

Lin Rusi nodded, not rejecting the idea.

"But should Asi keep her by his side? Or should he send her away?"

When Li Jingyang made the suggestion, the latter paused, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Send her away. If she stays, I'm afraid she'll..." Lin Rusi didn't finish her sentence.

It's best to get rid of such malicious people as soon as possible.

Having made this decision, Li Jingyang immediately ordered preparations to be made. However, considering that Lin Rusi still wanted to give Shen Yue some face, she entrusted the matter to Li Jingyang.

Lin Rusi was leisurely drinking tea when Wanxia whispered, "Your Highness, Shen Yue has arrived."

Without even looking up, she said coldly, "It's none of my business. I haven't even gone to see her yet."

Shen Yue had a clear goal and walked straight towards Lin Rusi.

She slammed a key on the table with a loud bang: "Lin Rusi! What do you mean by this?!"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Rusi frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion, as if she couldn't understand why Shen Yue was so excited.

Shen Yue's eyes widened, and she asked coldly, "What do you mean by having the Prince send me away?! What! You're getting anxious because I'm not doing what you say?"

"Oh, I see. You're afraid His Highness will fall for me, aren't you? I know, Lin Rusi, let me tell you! That's all you're capable of. It's useless. Even if you get rid of me, it won't change anything."

Shen Yue's tone was sarcastic, and her expression was extremely displeased.

Hearing this, Lin Rusi slowly sat up straight and looked up directly at him: "Well, that's all I'm good for, so what?"

At this point, she had lost her patience, and her expression instantly darkened.

"I forgot to tell you, it was His Highness who asked me to send you away, not me. Do you understand?" As she spoke, her eyes were full of mockery, as if she were disdainful.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue froze, somewhat taken aback.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her heart filled with helplessness.

How could she not know that Li Jingyang wasn't buying it at all? She was the one who spoke so sweetly, dressed so nicely, and even added something to the soup.

But in the end, Li Jingyang remained unmoved.

To be honest, Shen Yue really couldn't understand what was so good about this woman that made His Highness so attached to her.

"So what? You can't send me away! Tian Lingzi is your master, right? Don't forget, it was Senior Tian Lingzi who asked you to take me in. If I remember correctly, he gave you a lot of good things and even taught you medicine, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Rusi's eyes turned cold.

Shen Yue knew everything, but she really shouldn't have used this to threaten herself; Lin Rusi wouldn't fall for it.
