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

Chapter 153: No Cure

At this moment, Li Zeyan's gaze toward Lin Ruqin grew increasingly cold.

She's already married to me, but this woman is still only thinking about Li Jingyang. Am I really that bad?

Thinking of this, his expression turned even uglier, and he stared coldly at Lin Ruqin.

"You seem quite concerned about my royal uncle. It's a pity, though. My royal uncle has never taken a liking to you. He's in love with your sister. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Lin Ruqin was shocked to hear him say such things to humiliate her.

My expression became even uglier, but I didn't dare to confront him. I just wanted to argue my case.

"Your Highness, I'm just worried that our manor will be affected by this matter. Why do you always misinterpret my meaning?"

Lin Ruqin's serious demeanor filled Li Zeyan with disgust.

"I feel disgusted when I see your hypocritical face. It's none of your business to decide my affairs. Get out of here right now!"

Hearing Li Zeyan's words, Lin Ruqin also felt a little angry and was unwilling to stay there.

He then turned and left without paying any attention to Li Zeyan.

Royal Palace

Lin Rusi's face grew increasingly pale. Several days had passed, but his health had not improved at all.

Why does this happen?

"Is there really no way at all?" Looking at the imperial physicians around him, he felt a pang of unease.

Upon hearing this, they could only shake their heads helplessly, looking at Lin Rusi with some guilt.

"Your Highness... I'm so sorry, we've done our best, but I can only suppress the poison with silver needles for now. We don't have the ability to cure it completely."

"Alright, you may all leave now."

Lin Rusi knew that the imperial physicians had done their best, and there was nothing they could do about it.

I always feel like I forgot something important in my past life. Who was the one who saved Li Jingyang in the end?

"princess."

Ye Qing returned from outside, and now Lin Rusi could only place all her hopes on him.

When she saw him return, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Ye Qing, did you find anything out on this trip?"

Hearing this, Ye Qing shook his head helplessly.

“We went back to the place where this happened to investigate, but we found that all the evidence had been erased, and we couldn’t find anything…”

Thinking about this made me feel guilty.

Now that the prince has become like this, there's nothing I can do about it.

"You don't need to blame yourself; this isn't your fault."

Lin Rusi also knew that these assassins were extraordinary, and it seemed that this was something they had planned in advance.

It has nothing to do with Ye Qing.

“But…” Upon hearing this, Ye Qing still felt uneasy and felt guilty when looking at the person in front of her.

"Alright, don't be discouraged. The prince is very lucky and will be fine. As long as we cure the poison in the prince's body first, we can then investigate who is behind this."

Since they have already done their best, there is no need to make things too difficult for them.

Let them step back and rest first.

The emperor's men hadn't been able to find out the cause either, and seeing that so many imperial physicians were helpless, they naturally became quite angry.

"What exactly are you doing? You can't even cure this kind of poison. You are truly unworthy of the title of imperial physicians."

When the emperor learned of this, his face turned very ugly. If anything were to happen to Li Jingyang, he would not let them off the hook.

Upon hearing this, the Empress could only step forward and try to persuade the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, they have already done their best. Even if they can't do this well, we can't blame them. I think we should find another way."

"What does the Empress mean?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor looked somewhat puzzled before he gazed at the figure before him.

"It's nothing. Why don't we announce this to the world? There are many famous doctors in the martial arts world. Maybe they can solve this problem."

The emperor's expression was solemn.

I didn't want too many people to know about this, but now I have no other choice.

At this point, we had no choice but to agree.

"Never mind, his condition is the most important thing now. In that case, let's do as the Empress arranges."

Soon the Empress arranged for a royal proclamation to be posted, promising a reward of a thousand taels of gold to anyone who could cure the poison.

But even after the poster was up for several days, no one dared to come.

After all, even the most renowned imperial physicians in the palace couldn't solve this problem, let alone ordinary doctors.

There was no news for several days in a row.

However, Li Jingyang's condition worsened.

At this point, the imperial physicians finally realized that their silver needles seemed to be having no effect.

"Your Majesty, the Prince's condition is not good. The silver needles we are using are no longer effective. If this continues, the poison will soon corrode the Prince's internal organs, and then it will be too late to save him!"

Left with no other choice, they had to tell the emperor about it.

The emperor's expression immediately turned serious, and he looked at them with a solemn expression.

"Is there really no way at all?"

Upon hearing this, everyone could only lower their heads in shame.

The Empress also knew that there was no way to reverse the situation!

So much time has passed, yet no one has dared to tear down the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, it seems this is his fate. It's also a pity for the Princess Consort, who has to become a widow at such a young age..."

"Making arrangements for the funeral."

Although the emperor was reluctant to let his brother die, he also hoped that his brother could die with some dignity.

Lin Rusi's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, let's wait a little longer! He's very lucky and will surely be alright..."

According to his memories from his previous life, it wouldn't be long before a master would come and detoxify him, and he couldn't possibly die so easily.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to stop the emperor and empress.

"Well... everyone says he's beyond medical help, so it's good to prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard."

"Your Majesty, shall we wait three more days? Just three days, please?"

Lin Rusi had no choice but to keep stalling for time.

Seeing Lin Rusi's pitiful state, the Emperor and Empress had no choice but to agree to the matter.

"Fine, then I'll do as you say."

The emperor had no choice but to agree, and he was relieved to hear this.

We must buy more time now, or everything will be over.

At this moment, a young girl appeared in front of the imperial edict. After seeing its contents, she accepted it without hesitation.
