Chapter 414: Palace Maid
"If you really let him come with you, won't our relationship become distant in the future?"
Li Jingyang's words were exceptionally cold, causing Lin Rusi to shiver after hearing them.
When she looked up at Li Jingyang, she found that Li Jingyang's gaze was full of indifference.
So Lin Rusi couldn't help but move her body, trying to sit up.
But he found that even the slightest movement caused him extreme pain.
Lin Rusi winced in pain and couldn't help but gasp.
"It hurts……"
Lin Rusi clutched her stomach, her brows furrowed in pain.
This made Li Jingyang afraid to look at Lin Rusi with that expression anymore.
He immediately placed the baby beside the bed into Lin Rusi's arms.
"Asi, should I call the imperial physician now and have the medicine delivered?"
However, Lin Rusi waved her hand, showing no interest in listening to Li Jingyang.
"I don't want to see them, and I don't want to take my medicine."
Lin Rusi sighed and pulled the blanket over herself.
He reached out and touched the baby beside him.
Lin Rusi was relieved to see that Changning was sleeping soundly.
"What should I do? My body still hurts so much."
Li Jingyang was so worried that he leaned half his body onto the bed.
Looking at Lin Rusi, he began to mutter to himself.
"Do you need me to get you a towel to apply a hot compress?"
"Or would you like to eat something else? I'll go buy it!"
"Oh dear, Asi, why aren't you saying anything..."
……
Li Jingyang's words of concern only made Lin Rusi feel extremely irritated.
It might also be because Lin Rusi had just given birth.
Hearing these words now only makes me feel nauseous and uncomfortable.
"I don't want a hot towel either..."
"I don't want to eat anything, I have no appetite at all."
"I'm fine, of course I'm fine, I just don't want to talk."
Even so, Lin Rusi continued to reply to Li Jingyang, one sentence after another.
But after hearing Lin Rusi's response, Li Jingyang became even more arrogant.
"But you haven't tried the new pastries that came out the other day. I want you to try them..."
"Besides, those imperial chefs said they've also developed new dishes..."
"And the fabric shop has made a lot of progress recently, so I'd like to take you to get some new clothes made."
……
Li Jingyang's increasingly frequent words gave Lin Rusi an unbearable headache.
"You're really annoying, Li Jingyang!"
"I don't want to hear any of this right now! I just want to lie in bed quietly for a while."
"Come out with me right now, and come back after I wake up."
Lin Rusi turned around and kicked Li Jingyang out.
However, Li Jingyang wanted to say something more, but seeing Lin Rusi's angry expression, he lowered his head and walked out.
After leaving the palace, Li Jingyang began to sulk.
Everything around him began to irritate Li Jingyang.
Even when those palace maids were doing the most ordinary daily tasks.
Li Jingyang couldn't help but shout when he saw it.
Moreover, Li Jingyang's expression became even more unpleasant.
This terrified the palace maids and guards.
This made the palace maids and eunuchs who were passing by tremble with fear.
They dared not provoke Li Jingyang at all.
However, Li Jingyang didn't even look at the palace maids and guards.
He flicked his sleeves and went to the study.
They started dealing with it, and the desk was piled high with government affairs.
However, Li Jingyang, who was initially in a state of agitation, immediately got into focus after seeing these government affairs.
After finishing half of his official duties, Li Jingyang was still somewhat worried about Lin Rusi.
So he quietly left the study and returned to his bedchamber.
Seeing that Lin Rusi was fast asleep through the window, Li Jingyang immediately felt relieved.
Li Jingyang's mood improved instantly.
He walked into the study again, intending to finish the remaining tasks.
But just as Li Jingyang entered the study, he noticed that something seemed amiss under the bed.
Li Jingyang immediately came out of the study.
Upon arriving in the front yard, they summoned the hidden guards who had been concealed in the shadows.
"You guys go and check the study to see what's inside."
At Li Jingyang's command, the guards quickly went to the study.
After searching the study, they focused their attention on under the bed.
Soon, the guards found a strange palace maid under the bed.
When the palace maid who had been hiding under the bed was found, she looked at the guards with a shocked expression.
"How...how did you find me?"
Seeing the shocked palace maid in front of them, the guards remained silent.
It wasn't until the palace maid was dragged in front of Li Jingyang that she broke down and trembled.
But a few comforts are still being sought in the study.
Eventually, they found something strange inside the incense burner.
They discovered that the incense inside contained aphrodisiacs.
Li Jingyang frowned, looking at the palace maids in front of him and the incense burners they were holding.
"Tell me the truth about who sent you!"
Li Jingyang glared angrily, which terrified the palace maid.
But no matter how Li Jingyang questioned her, the palace maid remained silent.
He knelt straight down in front of Li Jingyang.
Are you sure you really don't want to tell the truth now?
Li Jingyang asked again, but the palace maid kept her lips pursed.
Even though tears were still welling up in her eyes.
However, no results were obtained in the end.
Li Jingyang then curled his lips into a smile, a smile that was particularly sinister.
The palace maid couldn't help but shiver.
"I……"
The palace maid's lips trembled as she was about to speak, but then she shut her mouth.
He shook his head violently.
"Since you're not going to tell me, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Li Jingyang's expression was now exceptionally cold.
The palace maid was rendered speechless.
The guards obeyed Li Jingyang's orders and disappeared into the front yard.
"That's a real shame. There's no way to send you back to your master to deliver the message."
After Li Jingyang finished speaking, he summoned the other guards to the front courtyard.
"This palace maid is so audacious that she actually placed aphrodisiac in my study. Not only that, she also hid under the bed, trying to harm me."
Li Jingyang's words left the guards somewhat incredulous.
They were terrified that Li Jingyang, because their lax guarding had allowed the palace maid to enter the study, would lead to their own punishment.
So they all lowered their heads and dared not speak, just like quails.
"I will not punish you all today, only this palace maid."
