Chapter 379: Entering the Palace in Disguise
After hearing Lin Ruosi's words, Ye Ruoruo stared wide-eyed in silence.
I just felt a little incredulous, and I had no idea what Lin Rusi was thinking.
"Do you know how risky this disguise is?!"
Ye Ruoruo reached out and shook Lin Rusi's body.
He was trying to bring Lin Rusi to her senses.
But Lin Rusi reached out, grabbed Ye Ruoruo's wrist, and shook her head, appearing remarkably calm and collected.
"Of course I know this is very risky, but I still have a lot of faith in you, Senior Sister. You're so capable, a simple disguise shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
Upon hearing Lin Rusi's explanation, Ye Ruoruo frowned.
However, Lin Rusi remained remarkably calm.
"And even if someone finds out, so what? No one will punish you, Senior Sister. Besides, the Prince is there too."
Lin Rusi reached out and pulled Ye Ruoruo to a chair next to her.
Lin Rusi even volunteered to find Ye Ruoruo's tools, wanting her to quickly give her a new face.
After listening to Lin Ruosi's words, Ye Ruoruo couldn't find any flaws for a moment, so she could only nod.
So he silently began to tidy up the tools in front of him for Lin Rusi, preparing for the disguise technique.
After tidying up, the two of them prepared to enter the palace.
However, by sheer coincidence, they were thoroughly inspected by the guards at the palace gates when they entered the palace.
Even though Ye Ruoruo explained that Lin Rusi was her attendant, she did not allow Lin Rusi to follow her inside.
"No one is allowed to enter without a token, regardless of whether you are Ye Ruoruo's attendant or not."
The upright and incorruptible guard in front of her spoke to Lin Rusi.
After hearing this, Lin Rusi, somewhat unconvinced, hugged her arm and leaned against the city wall.
"Then I'll go in after she's inside."
After hearing Lin Ruosi's words, Ye Ruoruo could only sigh.
However, I didn't say much to them.
They followed the guards into the imperial city.
Ye Ruoruo observed the situation in the entire imperial city the whole way.
Along the way, they discovered that there were many palace maids and guards moving around in the palace.
These palace maids and guards were clearly subordinates of the Crown Prince.
Even though Ye Ruoruo could now see the situation clearly, she remained silent and followed the guards to the emperor's bedroom.
As soon as Ye Ruoruo entered the palace, she saw the Crown Prince.
Before he could even pay his respects, the Crown Prince stopped him.
"I heard you had a follower behind you. Now that you've entered safely, I'll have the guards let that follower in as well."
Seeing the amiable and approachable Crown Prince before her, Ye Ruoruo was somewhat dazed.
However, this is the best way.
So Ye Ruoruo quietly thanked the Crown Prince.
After waiting in the main hall for a long time, Lin Rusi was finally brought in by the guards.
"Now that you two are both here, let's see what's wrong with the Emperor."
The Crown Prince looked down at Lin Rusi and Ye Ruoruo.
His words were devoid of emotion, exceptionally cold.
Lin Rusi and Ye Ruoruo naturally didn't dare to delay, so they immediately went forward.
The emperor on his dragon throne was indeed in a very bad situation at this moment.
He looks like he's lost a lot of weight.
Lin Rusi frowned when she saw the emperor's condition on the bed.
She reached out and took the emperor's pulse, carefully examining him.
At the same time, Lin Rusi kept a close eye on the Crown Prince's movements.
But Lin Rusi noticed the Crown Prince's unusually concerned gaze, as if he really wanted to know how the Emperor was doing.
After finishing her treatment, Lin Rusi withdrew from the imperial bed.
After exchanging glances with Ye Ruoruo, she went to the Crown Prince's side.
"How is Father?"
The crown prince anxiously took a step forward and stood in front of the two of them.
"The Emperor's condition is very bad; he has become so thin, I'm afraid..."
Lin Rusi lowered her head, gently shook her head, and spoke with unusual heaviness.
Before Lin Rusi could finish speaking, the Crown Prince covered his mouth.
It was clearly an exceptionally sad occasion.
Seeing the Crown Prince's demeanor, Lin Rusi guessed that he was definitely not the kind of person who could hold the Emperor hostage.
After all, the Crown Prince cared deeply about the Emperor; how could he possibly do anything to threaten him?
Lin Rusi was also a little confused at this moment, wondering if her previous guesses could still stand up now.
It is evident that the two of them have now finished examining the emperor's condition.
The crown prince then waved his hand, dismissing the two of them from the palace.
Lin Ruosi and Ye Ruoruo remained unusually silent throughout the journey.
After all, this was completely different from what they had expected.
They didn't stay in the palace for long before quickly returning to Li Jingyang's residence.
Lin Rusi had just returned to the manor when she heard shouts from many of the maids.
Lin Rusi was puzzled when she heard them calling her name.
So Lin Rusi pulled Ye Ruoruo aside, and the two of them hid in a corner to wipe the things off their faces, restoring their original appearance.
"This trip has been quite stifling! But thank you so much, senior sister!"
Lin Rusi held Ye Ruoruo's hand and called out to her affectionately.
Before Ye Ruoruo could reply, they heard the maid's voice getting closer and closer.
"Oh dear! Your Highness!"
A maid dressed in a peach-colored dress rushed up to Lin Rusi.
It seems they've been looking for Lin Rusi for a long time.
"Where have you been so early in the morning? The Prince is very worried about you..."
Seeing the maid's anxious expression, Lin Rusi felt somewhat ashamed.
"I went out to play early this morning, I was just too playful... I'm sorry to have made you all worry about me."
Lin Rusi lowered her head and tugged at the maid's hand, causing the maid to also lower her head and blush.
"Alright, alright, Asi, hurry up and go find your prince. I'll be going now."
Ye Ruoruo patted Lin Rusi on the shoulder and then turned and left the palace.
Led by her maid, Lin Rusi arrived at the back garden.
I saw Li Jingyang sitting in the pavilion, seemingly writing something.
Hearing the sound, Li Jingyang looked up and met Lin Rusi's eyes.
"Asi, you're finally back! Where have you been?"
Li Jingyang stood up, hugged Lin Rusi, and the two sat down together in the pavilion.
"Let me tell you the truth. I went to the palace early this morning, and today was indeed quite surprising."
Upon hearing Lin Rusi's words, Li Jingyang narrowed his eyes, seemingly extremely curious about the matter.
