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

Chapter 344: Secretly Following Them

Lin Rusi was not confident, so she was even more reluctant to let Li Jingyang go.

But before that, she had to find the legendary miracle doctor and develop a medicine to solve the locust problem.

"Wanxia, ​​Wanqi, help me find someone. Once you find them, send a message back immediately."

Lin Rusi didn't care about anything else and immediately gave instructions to the two people.

Time is of the essence; we only have one month left, and we must find a solution.

Thinking of this, Lin Rusi immediately ordered people to investigate the situation in the Northwest and specially found someone to develop a medicine to deal with locusts.

Just as she had predicted, news indeed came from the palace a month later.

It is said that a locust plague has occurred in the Northwest region, and the situation is extremely urgent.

After careful consideration, the Emperor indeed issued an edict ordering Li Jingyang to handle the matter.

The news was brought back by Li Jingyang.

Hearing his story, Lin Rusi's heart sank, and the cup in her hand loosened slightly before falling to the ground.

But Lin Rusi couldn't care less about that at the moment. She subconsciously looked at Li Jingyang, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "The situation in the Northwest is different from that in the capital. I'm afraid it's a bit complicated."

"Don't worry, I know it's a locust plague there, and I can imagine it's probably even worse than Suzhou."

Having prepared himself mentally, Li Jingyang was naturally not afraid. However, seeing Lin Rusi's excited appearance and her packed luggage beside her, he was quite taken aback.

I knew it; she was going to come with me.

Seeing this, Li Jingyang sighed softly and reached out to pat her head: "Asi, it's not that I don't want to take you, but it's worse there than Suzhou City, it's best to..."

Li Jingyang spoke tactfully, and his voice was exceptionally gentle.

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Rusi guessed that he didn't intend to take her along.

Thinking of this, she became somewhat displeased: "I don't care!"

"We already agreed that you would take me with you."

For some reason, Li Jingyang seemed determined this time and refused to bring Lin Rusi along no matter what.

"No! It's a long journey, so you should stay home and rest. Don't come with me!"

Li Jingyang shook his head, refusing to budge.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi pouted somewhat unhappily.

Seeing her disappointed look, Li Jingyang couldn't bear it and softened his tone: "It would be more convenient if I went by myself. I can't rest easy if you come with me. Can you wait for me at home?"

Hearing him say that, Lin Rusi was somewhat displeased, but she still looked away and snorted, "Fine, since Your Highness doesn't want me to come along, then forget it, I won't go!"

However, although she verbally agreed, Lin Rusi did not actually mean it that way.

It's just that Li Jingyang was slightly injured while saving him last time.

From then on, Lin Rusi felt extremely guilty, afraid that she would hold him back again.

She doesn't know any martial arts and there's not much she can do. Rather than going there to cause trouble, she'd better stay home.

Thinking of this, she sighed in disappointment, clearly very angry at her own incompetence.

"Don't be angry, I'll be back soon."

Mo Jingyang looked at Lin Rusi with doting eyes, a hint of guilt in them.

But then he calmed down; the journey to the Northwest was long and fraught with danger.

He absolutely cannot take Lin Rusi on a risk.

"I understand, Your Highness. If you're not going to take me, then don't take me."

"However, Your Highness, please take this with you."

As she spoke, Lin Rusi turned around and took a book out of the room.

She handed it directly to Li Jingyang; it was called a book, but it was really just a small booklet.

It was written in advance by Lin Rusi, and it contained methods for controlling locust plagues.

Some are treated with medicine, while others are folk remedies.

I don't know if it will be useful, as long as it can help Li Jingyang as much as possible.

Seeing this, Li Jingyang seemed somewhat surprised, not expecting her to produce such a valuable manual.

Lin Rusi rolled her eyes and changed the subject: "Your Highness, do you still remember the ancient book I read a couple of days ago?"

"The book records some of the remedies they used when they encountered a locust plague in ancient times. So I read through two more books and wrote down these remedies so that we wouldn't be at a loss when the plague struck."

"I see. Asi is smart to have made preparations in advance. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do when I got there."

Li Jingyang was reluctant to speak, but looking at the person in front of him, he finally hardened his heart. If they delayed any longer...

He was genuinely afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist taking the other person with him.

After taking the gifts, Lin Rusi accompanied the person all the way to the city gate before leaving.

But as she watched Li Jingyang's disappearing figure, there was still some worry in her eyes.

The road ahead is unknown, and the things in books are not very helpful in practice.

It's better to bring yourself along than a book.

However, she couldn't let Li Jingyang know, otherwise, he might do something drastic again.

This is not good!

Thinking this, Lin Rusi still disguised herself and secretly followed behind the marching army.

Li Jingyang did not notice Lin Rusi's presence as they walked.

Ye Qing was the first to discover that someone was following their troops and proactively reported the matter to Li Jingyang.

"Your Highness, someone is following our troops. We don't know who it is. Should I go and investigate?"

"Go ahead," Li Jingyang waved his hand, not taking it to heart.

That's how it's always been; there are plenty of people in the palace watching them.

Who knows who sent these people?

Ye Qing acted swiftly and quickly came over to check.

Upon realizing this, Lin Rusi was startled and couldn't help but gasp.

She looked at Ye Qing not far away, quickly stopped, and cautiously waved to him.

Ye Qing was puzzled, but he quickly got up and went to Lin Rusi's side, his eyes full of vigilance: "Who are you?! What are you doing with the army?!"

Clearly, he really didn't recognize her. Lin Rusi slowly took off her hat and looked over with a smile: "What? Ye Qing, don't you recognize me?"

"princess?"

Ye Qing stared wide-eyed in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

How could he have imagined that Lin Rusi would appear? Especially dressed like this.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi quickly made a shushing gesture, telling him not to say anything more.

"Did His Highness know that the Princess Consort had sneaked in?"

"Of course I don't know."

Lin Rusi spoke smugly, then looked at Ye Qing with a warning: "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to tell him. If you do, I'll turn on you!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't let His Highness know about this!" Ye Qing said firmly, but she was also a little annoyed.

If he had known these were the princess's words, he would have pretended not to have seen them.
