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

Chapter 485: Going Out to Find Medicine

After an incense stick had burned, the guards who had gone out finally returned.

"As expected of the lady, the wolves outside have all retreated."

"How is this possible? That sound wasn't from just one group. How could it be so easily dispersed?"

Upon hearing his companion's question, the other person simply turned their head and stared straight at him.

"I just threw the chunks of meat as far as possible towards the alpha wolf. If they hit their faces, they'd naturally lick them, and that would work."

"You're really bold. If you make even one wrong calculation, you could face a counterattack from the wolf pack."

The other person didn't speak, but instead looked at the others who were still clearing away the stones.

Lin Rusi could guess that this must mean that at that time, they would need to take matters into their own hands and fill the gaps with their own lives.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Lin Rusi rushed out of the cave as quickly as possible.

When the crowd saw her looking somewhat disheveled, they tried to ask her something, but someone raised their hand and interrupted them.

"You must set up camp here and never let any danger get close."

“Madam, where are you going? We must accompany you.”

Lin Rusi didn't want any danger here, so she waved her hand and refused the person directly.

But just as she was about to leave, the hand that had been holding her down suddenly reached out.

"what are you up to?"

"Although the pack of wolves has left, it is not safe. If you really wish, Madam, we can go out and gather them according to your description."

Our master is already injured to such an extent that if we let her get hurt again, we really won't be able to explain it.

Just as he was trying to figure out how to stop his equally stubborn master, his arm was suddenly pushed away.

"Those who wish to follow may do so, but the majority must remain to protect the Crown Prince."

"No one is allowed to go in without my permission, otherwise they will never be able to return."

The few guards who still had some curiosity immediately withdrew their heads and stood cautiously to the side, tidying up the weeds around them.

Having secured control over everyone, Lin Rusi dared not waste any more time and quickly led one of her bodyguards out.

“Master, this is far too dangerous, after all…”

"How many of the medicinal herbs I need can you find? He won't be able to wait much longer."

Before the guard could say anything more, he noticed the person in front of him squat down and carefully dig up what he saw as a weed and put it into the rolled-up cloth.

Just as they were about to continue walking out, another eerie cry reached their ears.

To protect Lin Rusi, the guards disregarded everything else, grabbed her, and dragged her to another location.

"Please forgive me, but you really are not suited to go out."

"But how many of them do you know? If treatment is delayed, he..."

Lin Rusi couldn't say the rest of her words, and forced back her tears as she looked at the trampled herbs.

The guards hesitated for a while, but ultimately forced the person back to the camp.

During this time, pairs of beast eyes of varying sizes appeared in many places, which made Lin Rusi realize that there was danger involved.

After hesitating for a long time, she could only sit in the camp and quickly draw out the medicinal herbs she needed.

"Does Madam want Bletilla striata?"

"Do you recognize medicinal herbs?"

Hearing Lin Rusi's overjoyed tone, the other party nodded without hesitation and even took out some of his own homemade wound medicine.

“These are indeed more effective for ordinary injuries, but…” Realizing what was going on, she quickly wrote down several medicinal herbs. “Tell me if you don’t recognize any of them, and if you recognize all of them, go outside and make a round of them together.”

"Don't worry, Madam. I recognize all these medicinal herbs. I even treated the wounded members of the secret guards."

She turned her gaze to the guard who had brought her back, and seeing that he dared not speak, she didn't say anything more and pointed in the direction where she had previously found the medicinal herbs.

The other party immediately understood, accelerated, and led a group of people out.

Knowing that the medicinal herbs would be sent back soon, Lin Rusi was finally able to relax a little. She carefully walked in and smelled the pungent smell of blood again.

She couldn't help but frown, and as she rushed forward, she saw Li Jingyang inside, once again stained with blood.

"You really can't let your guard down for a moment."

“If you do this again, I will definitely leave you with the child.”

But can we really leave? No, we can't.

Lin Rusi could only fetch hot spring water and wipe her body repeatedly.

Her skin, which should have been fair, turned red.

That wasn't a normal bright red; rather, it was a more sickly crimson.

Lin Rusi immediately placed her hand on his forehead, but was startled by the excessively hot temperature and withdrew her hand.

"Why is it so hot? How did you manage to get through it?"

Amidst the sounds of doubt, Lin Rusi could only use her slightly cold hands to cool people down.

Feeling the coolness, the person in the drowsy state ignored the pain in their body and gently grasped that hand.

"Don't move around, it will worsen your wound, and there's no way to treat you anyway."

"It's so hot, it's so uncomfortable."

Lin Rusi felt the temperature rising again from her fingers, and her face grew increasingly pale. She could only use her free hand to wipe the person's body with a handkerchief, trying to cool them down.

But this is completely ineffective and may even reopen the wound, causing the wound that had just begun to scab over to reopen completely.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi's face darkened even more, and she forcibly removed the clothes from the person's body.

But what use were those few clothes anyway? Before long, they caused Li Jingyang, who was in even more pain, to let out another muffled groan.

She was worried that the fire next to her was making people feel hotter, so she extinguished it with a bucket of water.

"Go outside and find some stream water."

"Madam, has something happened to our master?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Lin Rusi shouted this sentence at the top of her lungs, then rolled up her sleeves and placed them on the other person's chest and head.

But how could such a small amount of skin satisfy Li Jingyang, whose body was burning hot? Before long, he unconsciously continued to ask for more.

More guards were coming in later, so Lin Rusi naturally wouldn't let them continue doing that. She could only use the cloth to fan them.

Exhausted and panting, I finally heard hurried footsteps outside.

Lin Rusi thought that all the medicinal herbs had been found and wanted to rush out to ask for them, but she was pulled into his arms.

"Let go, you need to heal now."

"hot."

The scorching heat seeped through her clothes, making Lin Rusi, who was already anxious, even more irritable. An, who cut in line, slapped him across the face.

Fortunately, he was too weak from the fever to walk out easily.

But when Lin Rusi saw the people outside clearly, she sighed once again.

"why you?"

"Madam Xishui, we've caught quite a few animals. Shall we take some in for you and your master later?"

Lin Rusi didn't say anything. Instead, she carried the large bucket of water, ran into it quickly, used the cold water to cool herself down, and then snuggled into the other person's arms.
