Chapter 354: Revenge
Chapter 354: Revenge
“Your Majesty, because Master hasn’t finished what he instructed, although you should remember after drinking this medicine, but…”
As Lin Rusi spoke, she took out another letter from her bosom.
The Empress took the letter and read it calmly, no longer as devastated as before.
"Now that Your Highness has received the letter, I shall take my leave. As for the rest, I cannot help you with that."
Seeing her pale face, Lin Rusi shook her head and prepared to get up.
But just as she was about to leave, the Queen suddenly stopped her: "Wait, I also have something to give you."
"If Your Highness wants me to pass something on to my master, I may not be able to deliver it."
Lin Rusi frowned, looking somewhat troubled.
It wasn't that she was unwilling, but Tian Lingzi had already lied to her no matter what he said.
Regardless of the reason, Lin Rusi will no longer take Li Jingyang to find Tian Lingzi.
"No, this is for you."
The Empress handed over a pill, which landed in Lin Rusi's hand.
Lin Rusi subconsciously took the pills, then paused, "What's this?"
"Since you are Tian Lingzi's disciple, then you are my disciple. Has your husband lost his martial arts skills?"
She had been informed by guards before she arrived.
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi's expression turned even more unpleasant.
She had already guessed that Tian Lingzi had tampered with Li Jingyang, but when it was actually confirmed, she was still somewhat displeased.
The Empress looked at Lin Rusi with some guilt in her eyes: "Don't be angry with Tian Lingzi. Your sweetheart is currently under the influence of the drug Tian Lingzi gave her. The antidote I gave you can only temporarily delay its effects."
Upon hearing the Empress's words, Lin Rusi's expression immediately changed: "What do you mean? Your Majesty, please explain yourself."
As she spoke, she urgently pulled the Queen along.
Then, realizing that what he was doing was wrong, he immediately stepped back.
"Well... I don't know the specifics. I don't have the antidote, but I do know that if I can't find Tian Lingzi and get the antidote within three days, I'm afraid my martial arts will be completely ruined."
Lin Rusi's expression changed drastically, and she immediately became furious: "You old bastard, I risked my life to deliver the message for him, and he actually harmed me like this!"
Her face was angry, and she was very indignant.
Seeing this, the Empress didn't say much. There was some hesitation in her eyes, and she didn't know what to say. She could only comfort her in a low voice: "Miss Lin, don't be too angry. Tian Lingzi does strange things, but he definitely doesn't have bad intentions. Besides, he took you as his disciple."
But now, Lin Rusi wouldn't believe a single word the Empress said.
Her face turned ugly, and she immediately snorted coldly, handing over the pills: "Thank you, Your Majesty, we'll be leaving now."
Regardless of whether the Empress is innocent or not!
But Li Jingyang ended up like this because of her, so Lin Rusi wouldn't just accept her kindness so easily.
"I'll have someone deliver it to you. Also, I have a letter I'd like you to give to him."
The Empress hurriedly stopped her, quickly wrote a letter, and handed it to Lin Rusi.
Fearing that Lin Rusi would refuse, he quickly summoned two palace guards and ordered them to escort Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang away.
However, Lin Rusi merely pursed her lips in response to her concern, holding the unconscious Li Jingyang tightly with an unfriendly expression.
Since Tian Lingzi had imprisoned Li Jingyang, he must have been the first to notice when Li Jingyang left.
Besides, he was waiting for me to send a message back.
Thinking of this, she immediately took Li Jingyang straight to the inn.
As soon as she reached the door, she kicked open the door of Tian Lingzi's inn without thinking.
At that moment, Tian Lingzi was drinking tea in her room. When she saw her return with Li Jingyang in such a furious manner, she immediately understood. It seemed that she knew everything.
Before Tian Lingzi could speak, Lin Rusi slammed her hand on the table.
"I need the antidote!"
Her eyes were cold, and her tone was filled with intense anger.
Tian Lingzi paused slightly, then placed the antidote on the table: "I've already prepared it, here you go!"
Seeing his decisive action, Lin Rusi remained silent for a while, but still checked it first to confirm that it was the antidote the Empress had mentioned before letting Li Jingyang take it.
Sure enough, Li Jingyang's pulse returned to normal shortly afterward.
After confirming that he was safe and sound, Lin Rusi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Without lingering, he turned and left with Li Jingyang, who had just woken up.
"Does Your Highness wish to take revenge?"
Along the way, seeing Li Jingyang still looking bewildered and not yet recovered, Lin Rusi smiled and asked him a question.
Seeing this, Li Jingyang was taken aback: "Does Asi have an idea?"
He was naturally angry with Tian Lingzi; this time, he had suffered a great loss.
"Your Highness, I didn't take the letter out just now."
Lin Rusi smiled slyly and quickly walked over to the innkeeper: "Boss, I need to leave a note for my master, the man who came with me. Could you please deliver it to him tonight?"
As she spoke, Lin Rusi took out a silver ingot: "Thank you for your trouble, please make sure to deliver it tonight!"
"Don't worry, girl, I'm reliable."
The shopkeeper's confident assurances prompted Lin Rusi to write down a note, after which she immediately took Li Jingyang and left.
After walking quite a distance, Lin Rusi finally told Li Jingyang.
"Does Your Highness know what I wrote on the note?"
How could Li Jingyang not guess? But seeing her smiling face, he gently patted her soft hair and said, "I don't know. Is Asi willing to tell me?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just told her that the Empress's letter is in my hands, and if she wants the letter, she should come to us!"
Lin Rusi was smug and smiling, while Li Jingyang was even more helpless, but he could only smile along with her.
"Where do you want to go!" Li Jingyang knew that she wanted to go as far as possible, preferably for ten days or half a month, if Tian Lingzi could find her.
……
As expected, Tian Lingzi found them three days later.
Lin Rusi and her companion had already arrived in Linzhou.
During this meeting, Tian Lingzi became much more humble, and he didn't dare to provoke Lin Rusi at all.
Seeing Lin Rusi's cold and stern expression, he stepped forward with a sense of guilt and said, "What happened in the Western Regions before was my fault."
Tian Lingzi spoke sincerely, but Lin Rusi ignored him and snorted coldly.
She knew that Tian Lingzi had come because of the letter.
But there are many things that Tian Lingzi has never told himself.
Not only that, they even drugged Li Jingyang.
That's really going too far.
"I know the letter from the Western Regions Queen is in your hands, and I want the letter," Tian Lingzi said bluntly, making no attempt to conceal his purpose.
Lin Rusi smiled and said, "Master, there's no such thing as a letter."
She pretended to widen her eyes and made a surprised expression.
Tian Lingzi knew that she was still angry about what had happened before: "Ah Xiang, just ask for whatever you want."
Lin Rusi also said sarcastically, "But I dare not. What if Master also drugged me?"
She waved her hand, her tone soft, but the implication in her words was clear, and Tian Lingzi understood perfectly.
Upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth, took out two bottles of pills from his pocket, and pushed them directly in front of Lin Rusi: "Life-saving pills, only two of them, and they are both in your hands."
Lin Rusi blinked: "How would I know if it's true or not?"
She held the pills in her hand and spoke in a low voice, her expression clearly indicating that she was still unwilling.
Upon seeing this, Tian Lingzi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
“This medicine is extremely precious, Master, I…” Tian Lingzi tried to struggle.
Seeing her like this, Lin Rusi didn't give him a chance to finish speaking and sighed, "It seems that Master really came to the wrong person today."
