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

Chapter 357: Agree to One Condition

However, he was still very worried at the moment.

God knows how terrified he was when he saw the knife about to strike; he wished he were the one falling on that blade.

However, seeing that Lin Rusi was unharmed and still lively, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright."

But Lin Rusi turned and left before he could finish speaking.

At that moment, she didn't want to see the man in front of her at all.

Li Jingyang had no way of explaining his predicament.

Although he had already heard Tian Lingzi describe what he had seen yesterday, he still couldn't understand it, since he was clearly sleeping last night.

Thinking this, Li Jingyang quickly grabbed Lin Rusi's hand: "Rusi, what exactly happened? Even if you're sentencing me to death, shouldn't you at least tell me clearly? Why did you leave behind my back?!"

Lin Rusi snorted coldly, somewhat disdainfully: "So, when Your Highness was having a secret rendezvous with that person behind my back, didn't you inform me beforehand?"

"What? If I don't leave on my own, am I supposed to stay and watch you two get married?"

She spoke in a sarcastic tone, with a hint of bitterness.

If Li Jingyang still couldn't tell that she was jealous, then he would be truly foolish.

"I wasn't having a secret rendezvous with someone that night, there must be some mistake! I was clearly sleeping at the inn that day, how could I possibly have secretly gone out to meet someone?!"

His voice was urgent, and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.

However, such an explanation seemed rather weak and unconvincing to Lin Rusi.

She sneered, "Is that so? There was no one in bed that day. I was in the same room as His Highness. Did you think I was deliberately framing His Highness?"

"That's not what I meant at all!" Li Jingyang didn't know how to explain; he was probably in a situation where he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

But he clearly had no recollection of it at the time; he woke up the next morning.

“Since that’s not what you meant, why is Your Highness trying to explain? I know best whether Your Highness was in the room or not, and I saw it with my own eyes. There’s no explanation for your secret rendezvous with someone else.”

Lin Rusi lowered her head, her eyes filled with disappointment.

She wanted to believe Li Jingyang, but she had witnessed what happened last night.

What the eyes see doesn't lie. How can she help Li Jingyang explain this?

"Asi, what will it take for you to believe me?"

Hearing her deep voice, Li Jingyang subconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes filled with struggle.

"I don't want to discuss this now."

Lin Rusi didn't want to mention this at all, and immediately waved her hand in annoyance.

Just as the two were arguing, Tian Lingzi emerged from the woods, his gaze fixed intently on Li Jingyang.

He reached out and stopped the two of them: "Wait! Wait! Stop arguing."

"I think I might know what's going on."

Upon hearing Tian Lingzi's words, both of them turned to look at him: "Senior, would you please tell us what happened?"

Unable to explain, Li Jingyang could only place his hopes on Tian Lingzi.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're very likely under a spell. As for what happened that night, none of you are at fault."

Seeing that the two men's attitudes toward him had finally softened, Tian Lingzi coughed and explained, "Asi was right, you did go to meet someone else in secret, but you also woke up in the inn, which is because it is very likely that person controlled your body with Gu poison."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group changed slightly, especially Lin Rusi's.

Gu poison was something she had never encountered before, so naturally she had no idea that such an incredible existence existed.

However, she had seen it in a book, but only for fun.

However, at this moment, Lin Rusi's expression relaxed a little.

As long as Li Jingyang didn't do it voluntarily, that's fine!

Even as she thought this, a hint of guilt still lingered in her eyes: "Of course I should believe you."

Seeing her discomfort, Li Jingyang didn't mind. He patted the top of her head and then looked at Tian Lingzi: "Senior, you should know more about Gu poison than we do. We need your help with this matter."

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Looking at the blood and mangled limbs scattered on the ground, Tian Lingzi was speechless.

So the three of them returned to the wooden cabin where they had stayed before, and Lin Rusi remained silent.

The matter of Gu poison was far beyond her imagination, and she couldn't accept it for the time being.

She couldn't understand what kind of power could control a person's actions.

Is Gu poison really that magical?

The three sat around a small table, and Lin Rusi finally spoke with a hint of confusion: "No wonder."

"Asi, has something come to mind?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi nodded emphatically: "Yes, I followed you the whole day, but logically speaking, your martial arts skills should have detected me long ago. However, you didn't even turn your head that day and went straight to the place of the secret meeting."

Thinking about it, Lin Rusi frowned subconsciously, feeling even more puzzled.

Li Jingyang's behavior had been strange before, especially at night when he would act strangely.

I initially thought he had been poisoned, which is why the problem arose.

Now everything has an explanation.

But she couldn't feel any relief, even if she could find a way to cure the poison.

How exactly can she help Li Jingyang with this poison?

While Lin Ru was thinking about these things, Li Jingyang was also frowning.

In the silence, he suddenly gave Tian Lingzi a look.

Receiving his gaze, Tian Lingzi nodded, and then the two walked to a spot not far away.

Lin Ru was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the two of them making any noise.

"Senior, could you please take Asi away? I'll handle this myself."

"Really? You're so capable that you can handle this all by yourself?"

As soon as Li Jingyang finished speaking, he heard Lin Rusi's slightly mocking voice.

"Asi, you'll get hurt here. Those assassins today might have been sent by them."

Li Jingyang's eyes were full of worry as he earnestly offered his advice.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Rusi remained silent, but her beautiful face grew increasingly grim.

The two looked at each other, and Li Jingyang wanted to explain, "I'm not sure about Asi's matter either. What if they also use a curse on you? I'm afraid something bad will happen."

The thought that Lin Rusi might also have this problem filled him with uncontrollable worry.

Lin Rusi was silent for a moment, then surprisingly agreed: "Okay, I can go with Tian Lingzi, but I have conditions."

Seeing that Lin Rusi had agreed, Li Jingyang immediately felt relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Rusi turned around and took out paper and pen from the room, writing the three words "Letter of Divorce" in large characters.

"Your Highness has never kept any promises to me. It was clearly agreed back in Danzhou that no matter what dangers there were, you would not send me away to face them yourself."

"But these past few times, Your Highness has always gone alone, using every possible method to drive me away. Now that you're leaving, I won't come back!"

After saying that, she pushed the divorce papers in front of Li Jingyang, her face extremely cold.
