Chapter 440: Going Back
Upon hearing Lin Rusi's words, Li Jingyang also thought about everything he had experienced before.
After all, he was born into an imperial family.
Therefore, Li Jingyang's romantic journey has been quite bumpy.
He had met someone when he was the crown prince, someone he wanted to be the only person he would ever love in his life.
However, many unexpected events occurred later, making it impossible for him to marry that person.
So even though the emperor has some feelings about this now, he is still unwilling to admit it.
The emperor clenched his teeth tightly, glaring at Lin Rusi in front of him.
However, Lin Rusi was not afraid at all.
He stood with his hands on his hips, staring straight into the emperor's eyes.
"As the Crown Princess, you shouldn't be jealous; you should be more magnanimous."
"Otherwise, if others overhear this, they'll all criticize you behind your back."
The emperor couldn't help but speak up and belittle Lin Rusi.
"Besides, the crown prince will become the emperor, and the emperor should have many descendants in the future."
"Otherwise, how could this country prosper and flourish?"
"Besides, the emperor still needs a successor. How can you guarantee that the current prince will be safe and sound?"
When Lin Rusi heard the emperor's words, she only gave a cold laugh.
Lin Rusi quickly provided an example.
"His Majesty actually said that the country's prosperity and strength require many princes."
"Why doesn't the emperor think about the princes nowadays?"
"The Second Prince is such a jealous person that he almost killed you and the previous Crown Prince because of the issue of the throne."
"Everyone was scheming and fighting for the throne, and in the end, two of them still died."
Lin Rusi's rhetorical question left the emperor breathless.
But this is indeed the case.
The matter of the second prince vying for the throne has caused a great uproar, and everyone knows that he is ambitious.
Moreover, the emperor and the crown prince were imprisoned by him for a period of time.
The emperor knew in his heart that he had been imprisoned and his days were extremely difficult.
Even so, the emperor remained defiant.
"Throughout the thousands of years of history, which dynasty hasn't experienced something like this...? It's all inevitable..."
"After all, they were born into an imperial family, and these are things they are meant to experience..."
The emperor's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.
Lin Rusi, on the contrary, laughed.
"Since Your Majesty has said so, why don't I give you two more examples?"
Upon hearing Lin Rusi's words, the emperor immediately stretched out his hand and waved it repeatedly.
Not only that, the emperor also bent down and covered his chest.
I just felt an unusual discomfort in my heart.
If I listened to Lin Rusi continue, I'd probably be lying here.
"You, the Crown Princess, would better shut up right now."
"You should leave now, just pretend I never asked you these questions, and don't take them to heart..."
Seeing the emperor looking so uncomfortable, Lin Rusi pretended to be worried and helped him up.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Is it because you're getting old and your health isn't good?"
"Should I fetch the imperial physician?"
As Lin Rusi spoke, she immediately called out to the eunuchs to summon the imperial physician.
When the eunuchs arrived and saw the emperor in this state, they immediately erupted into a chaotic cacophony of chatter.
"Oh dear, what has become of His Majesty!"
"Quickly summon the imperial physician to examine the Emperor!"
……
Lin Rusi also took advantage of the chaos to leave the Imperial Study.
Seeing this scene before her, Lin Rusi felt exceptionally pleased.
Even though Lin Rusi knew that the emperor was actually not seriously injured, and was just angry with her, she was still worried.
Lin Rusi walked out while humming a song.
As soon as they turned the corner, they found Li Jingyang standing not far away.
However, Li Jingyang followed the trail observed by several secret guards and rushed all the way to the Imperial Study.
Outside the imperial study, Li Jingyang overheard the conversation between the emperor and Lin Rusi.
Upon hearing Lin Rusi's reply, Li Jingyang secretly curled the corners of his lips.
He felt that Lin Rusi truly deserved to be his woman.
Lin Rusi's eyes lit up when she saw Li Jingyang.
She knew in her heart that Li Jingyang had come because he was worried about her.
"How did you find this place? Fireflies were clearly stopped!"
Lin Rusi was still somewhat curious, wondering how Li Jingyang had managed to track him all the way here.
Li Jingyang simply smiled and took Lin Rusi's hand.
"Have you forgotten? I have secret guards throughout the entire palace."
"Besides, you've already been taken away by the emperor, how can I not worry?"
Hearing Li Jingyang's words, Lin Rusi was overjoyed.
"Actually, the emperor took me away for no other reason than to discuss you and those two officials."
Lin Rusi said this on purpose to see Li Jingyang's reaction.
After hearing this, the light in Li Jingyang's eyes immediately dimmed.
"Besides this, did you say anything else...?"
Li Jingyang asked somewhat cautiously.
Lin Rusi smiled and nodded.
After all, Li Jingyang's reaction was just too adorable.
"The emperor also advised me to persuade you to take more concubines and have more children."
Li Jingyang frowned upon hearing this.
"Why is this old guy talking about this again... Asi, please don't take it to heart, I definitely won't take a concubine."
Li Jingyang once again affirmed to Lin Rusi.
Lin Rusi nodded while smiling.
"Of course I know, and that's exactly what I told the Emperor."
"Alright, let's hurry back! It's getting late. I'll cook you a nice meal tonight to treat you!"
Upon hearing Lin Rusi say she would cook for him, Li Jingyang immediately hugged her happily.
"Finally, she's going to cook for me. It feels like it's been ages since I've had any of Asi's cooking."
Li Jingyang whispered in Lin Rusi's ear, making Lin Rusi's back tingle.
Why are you standing so close? You can hear me even if you speak from a distance!
Lin Rusi pushed Li Jingyang's forehead and said coquettishly.
The two of them continued joking and laughing as they walked towards the East Palace.
Along the way, it naturally attracted the attention of many palace maids and guards.
Lin Rusi naturally led Li Jingyang into the study.
"Then I'll go back and cook first. After you've finished taking care of these things, go back and eat."
Lin Rusi gave Li Jingyang a deep look before preparing to leave, but Li Jingyang grabbed her wrist.
"Asi, don't go yet. I'll finish taking care of everything soon. Stay with me a little longer."
It was rare to hear Li Jingyang say something like that, so Lin Rusi naturally couldn't leave.
She sat quietly to the side, watching Li Jingyang handle the affairs.
