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

Chapter 486: Still Found

Even after using up the entire basin of water, the person's temperature did not drop at all; in fact, it showed signs of rising again.

"No, you can't keep having a fever, or you'll become an idiot."

"What's wrong, Madam? You sound a little agitated."

Because Lin Rusi had told the other party not to approach casually when she came in, that's why the people outside couldn't hear the sounds inside.

Hearing other people's voices, he remembered the guards who were still outside, and immediately put on his clothes and went out.

Has that person returned?

"There's still no news. If you want to bring him back, I'll go find him right now."

"No, it's too late."

Lin Rusi threw down those words and was about to turn and leave when she noticed the gauze on several of the people's bodies.

Guessing that the other person might have medicine, she looked around anxiously, but couldn't remember having a mouth to ask.

Fortunately, the guards noticed something was wrong and brought forward the medicine box that was placed to the side.

"This is ordinary wound medicine. Would you like to see if there are any necessary medicinal ingredients inside, Madam?"

"You brought medicine too? Let me see it quickly."

Lin Rusi snatched the item from the other person's hand, casually opened it, and began searching for the medicine she needed.

Fortunately, there were indeed many medicinal herbs inside that she needed, so she grabbed them and ran inside.

The guards were worried that one person couldn't handle the situation, so they naturally followed and stepped forward.

They then discovered that the fire inside had been extinguished by water, so they had to fetch other firewood from the side and light it.

"Jingyang has a fever, go and get him a basin of cold water."

"Yes."

Before they could even see what was happening inside, the guards were sent away again.

Lin Rusi took out the powder from the bottle and wanted to roll it into pills herself, but then she found another bottle labeled "dispelling wind and cold".

Without thinking, I took one out, poured it into my mouth, and put it in to check its medicinal properties.

"Jingyang, open your mouth and take your medicine."

Whether it was because she heard a sound or because Lin Rusi used the strength to speak, her mouth was finally pried open.

Immediately insert the pill into it.

Hearing two soft coughs, she then put the water pouch to her mouth and slowly fed the water in.

As the cool liquid entered his parched throat, Li Jingyang regained some consciousness and began to drink large gulps of water.

After he finished the entire pot, he closed his mouth and fell asleep again.

At this moment, the guard returned and brought over a basin full of cold water.

Lin Rusi gently wiped the person's face with a handkerchief, and after a while, the burning sensation finally subsided somewhat.

"Alright, now we just need to wait for the medicine to come back, and we'll be able to get out soon."

These words were spoken very softly, as if they were being spoken to oneself.

The guards saw that Lin Rusi was about to say something more when they were drawn away by the noise outside.

"There might be a wild animal that has broken in. I'll go out and check it out."

"Be careful, and make sure no one finds Jingyang here."

Thinking of the county magistrate being watched, the guards became even more cautious, lightening the pressure of their steps considerably.

Lin Rusi watched as the person carefully walked out before turning her attention back to reapply the ointment to Li Jingyang.

Knowing it wouldn't do any good, she still felt it was better than nothing and kept applying the ointment over and over again.

Persistence pays off, and the bleeding wound finally stopped.

Just as I was about to smile and relax a little, I heard a roar from outside.

"How...how did this happen?"

Noticing the change in the guard's tone, she quickly walked out of the cave.

The medicine cannot be wrong.

Lin Rusi quickened her pace again, but what she saw was not the guard holding the herbs, but a corpse that was barely breathing.

"what happened?"

"Please come in, Madam. We will resolve the issue quickly."

If it were really that easy to solve, how could it have turned out like this?

Lin Rusi ignored the other person's constantly changing expression and squatted down to check on the person's condition.

Once it was confirmed that some of the heart's pulse was still intact, the person was immediately bandaged with medicine powder from the medicine box.

Once the person's breathing had calmed down, and they tried to look up, a tall figure blocked their way.

"Jing Yang?"

"Madam, please return to the cave. It is no longer safe outside."

Is it unsafe?

While treating the wounds, she noticed that the man had many knife wounds on his body, which were definitely not caused by wild animals. They had been discovered.

Thinking about this makes me even more eager to look outside.

But the bodyguard who was mistaken for Li Jingyang acted more forcefully, carrying Lin Rusi back to the cave and blocking their way with the wounded man he was carrying.

The guards who followed closely behind used several stones as camouflage to partially cover the exit in front.

"You stay here and watch over Madam. I'll go help. If she doesn't return, take Madam back to the capital immediately."

"No, the county magistrate is still outside. If he finds out something is wrong, do you think I can go back?"

Upon hearing this, the guard's expression became even more solemn. He clearly wanted to say something more, but his attention was drawn to a bottle of medicine.

He casually grabbed it and looked at Lin Rusi with a puzzled expression.

"There's not much of this medicine left, so don't use it unless it's an emergency."

"Thank you, Madam, but please keep this item to protect you and your master."

Before Lin Rusi could respond, he had already put down the porcelain bottle, drawn his sword, and rushed out.

The other party moved extremely lightly, appearing in front of the gap without even touching the stone blocking the doorway.

Lin Rusi saw through the crack that the person was rushing into the forest, and her face darkened.

"What should we do now? How likely do you think it is?"

"Whatever you ask, Madam, you must believe that the leader will return."

Is that man the leader?

Feeling that she had a better chance of winning, Lin Rusi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to sit down, the porcelain vase rolled to her side.

Just as Lin Rusi was about to put it back into her arms, a gasp came from outside, and her heart jumped into her throat.

"No, you all go out and help too. I can protect myself inside."

The two men did not respond, but instead gripped their swords tightly and stared intently outside.

"Who exactly is your master?"

“You and the Crown Prince are our masters, but we cannot risk leaving you here.”

Lin Rusi's face darkened further. She wanted to say something else, but when she looked down at the porcelain bottle in her hand, an idea came to her.

He raised his hand and placed the item directly into one of the people's hands.

"Inhaling this powder will cause instant fainting. Go and throw this bottle over there, then wait upwind."

"Is that really true..."

The other party also knew they shouldn't doubt Lin Rusi, so they could only look at their brother opposite them.

After confirming that the other party agreed, he grabbed the porcelain bottle and rushed out, disappearing from sight in no time.
