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

Chapter 325: The Emperor Doesn't Believe It?

Sure enough, the person in the high position suddenly stood up and pointed directly at Lin Rusi: "Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?!"

"Now the people from the Western Regions are already on the territory of the foreign king, and our people have even obtained secret intelligence that the foreign king is preparing to cooperate with the people from the Western Regions to take over Jiangnan first!"

Lin Rusi frowned and spoke hastily.

Jiangnan is the hub and central area of ​​the inland region.

If Jiangnan falls, it will be like leaving the gates wide open, allowing them to attack directly.

The emperor could not possibly be unaware of the importance of Jiangnan. Sure enough, his face flushed with anger and embarrassment.

"Good, good! This foreign king, I'll make him pay!" The emperor's face was extremely ugly.

But Lin Rusi dared not relax her resolve: "I beg Your Majesty to send troops!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor suppressed his anger and dared not delay any longer: "Eunuch Su, convey my decree: immediately dispatch troops and order General Ma to lead the army to support Jiangnan!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Lin Rusi immediately came to her senses and stood up slightly.

She quickly left the palace and returned to the Prince's residence, where she waited for a long time.

Sure enough, news soon came from the military camp that General Ma had packed his bags and was preparing to depart soon.

Lin Rusi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her like this, Ye Ruoruo smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright. I was worried that you were distracted because of this."

"How could I? He's fighting on the front lines, I can't hold him back!"

Lin Rusi spoke softly, but her eyes were exceptionally resolute, as if she had made a million-fold decision.

The next day, the army set off from the city.

Lin Rusi accompanied the general on his journey despite her illness. Along the way, she could hear the people talking amongst themselves.

"Is war about to break out?"

"I don't know, but with the general here, I think there shouldn't be any problems!"

"I don't know, but we're the ones who'll suffer."

……

Lin Rusi felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. No one was the same; the common people lived amidst the chaos of war.

Just as she was deep in thought, the army's sedan chair suddenly stopped, and Lin Rusi abruptly looked up.

"What happened?!" she asked in a low voice, her lips pressed tightly together.

Just then, a voice came from outside the door. It was Wanxia's voice, somewhat anxious and puzzled: "Your Highness, it's a palace eunuch, and he's holding an imperial edict."

Hearing this, Lin Rusi frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes.

She couldn't understand it at all, but she was also a little curious.

What are the palace eunuchs doing here at this time?

Lin Rusi immediately alighted from the sedan chair, only to see the eunuch strut arrogantly up to her, his face showing disdain: "Eunuch Su, what do you mean by this? Blocking my sedan chair! The war is urgent, and His Highness is waiting for reinforcements!"

Lin Rusi always felt uneasy, but she didn't show it. She always felt that something had changed.

"Your Highness, please stop pretending. The Emperor already knows that the vassal king has no such intentions. Why are you framing him like this?"

"I framed you?!"

Lin Rusi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, even wondering if she had misheard. She had no grudge against that foreign king, so why would she frame him?

Moreover, given the magnitude of this power struggle and usurpation, how could she dare to spout nonsense in front of the emperor?

But then Lin Rusi thought again and felt something was wrong: "Why did Eunuch Su say that?"

"His Majesty already knows. It was just a conflict between the foreign prince and you in Danzhou. If the princess is angry, there is no need to say such things. It would be better not to talk nonsense!"

As soon as Eunuch Su said this, everyone's gaze towards her changed immediately, especially General Li, who had just praised her as a heroine of the nation who was no less capable than any man.

Looking at her now is like looking at a frivolous old woman.

Lin Rusi paused, her expression growing increasingly grim.

She knew for herself that the truth was not like that.

But clearly, everyone has misunderstood.

But why did the emperor suddenly change his attitude?

"Eunuch Su, who exactly is spreading rumors and misleading the public before the Emperor? How could I possibly treat such a serious matter lightly?!"

Lin Rusi raised her voice to question him, but Eunuch Su refused to answer and remained silent.

"Your Highness, His Highness said that this matter cannot be told to you. In addition, the Emperor also said that you should return to the Prince's residence and that this matter should not be mentioned again."

Hearing this, Lin Rusi fell silent for a long time before speaking again, "Eunuch Su..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Please, Your Highness." Eunuch Su gestured for Lin Rusi to leave first.

Upon seeing this, Lin Rusi frowned, her face turning extremely pale.

Along the way, she was escorted back to the Prince's Palace, and she couldn't help but wonder where the problem lay.

Why did things suddenly turn out this way? Lin Rusi frowned deeply.

No, there must be a traitor inside, otherwise this wouldn't have happened.

Right now, what I'm doing has inevitably affected that person's interests. If nothing unexpected happens, even if I just return to my residence, he probably won't feel at ease.

Lin Rusi thought this, but didn't say anything.

Wanxia, ​​who was right beside him, immediately became indignant: "Your Highness! This Emperor has gone too far! Isn't it said that the Emperor is inherently suspicious? How could he not believe what we say?!"

"I don't know either, but let's wait and see what they plan to do next."

Lin Rusi waved her hand, and the next day, Ye Ruoruo also came to her residence.

Watching Lin Rusi's silent back, her eyes were filled with unresolved worry: "Rusi, don't worry, everything will be alright. As for the Emperor, he's probably..."

Ye Ruoruo frowned, unsure how to comfort her.

At this moment, with Li Jingyang imprisoned, Lin Rusi must be worried sick!

There's a traitor!

Lin Rusi sighed and turned her head slightly: "Ruo Ruo, do you know something?"

Ye Ruoruo only paused for a moment before quickly shaking her head.

Seeing her like this, Lin Rusi knew even more clearly that the other party was hiding something from her: "Tell me quickly, if you still consider me your junior sister!"

Lin Rusi was somewhat displeased and stared straight at her.

After being stared at like that for a long time, Ye Ruoruo finally spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Asi, actually, I was originally going to the palace today, but the emperor is ill, so I just happened to be passing by to see you."

"Are you sick?"

Lin Rusi frowned even more deeply, unable to understand.

At this point in time, she suddenly fell ill again. Could it be that she's making excuses to avoid seeing me?

"Ruo Ruo, would you be willing to do me a favor?"

Thinking of this, Lin Rusi hurriedly grabbed the hem of her clothes.

Hearing this, Ye Ruoruo immediately frowned, a hint of wariness in her eyes: "Asi, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's just that the emperor has already rejected you. Even if you were to enter the palace or something, the emperor wouldn't agree!"

Ye Ruoruo spoke earnestly, and Lin Rusi understood what she meant.

She knew that there was a traitor among the emperor's men, and that he would do everything in his power to prevent her from meeting him.

Moreover, even if one were to meet the emperor, without solid evidence, the emperor would likely not grant one's request to send troops!

However, she couldn't do nothing!

Thinking this, Lin Rusi resolutely raised her eyes to look.
