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

Chapter 321: Disrupting the Plan

"Can this medicine solve the problem?"

Li Jingyang looked hesitantly at the medicine packet in Tian Lingzi's hand.

Tian Lingzi nodded confidently: "This medicine can suppress the Gu poison. Just dissolve it in water and give it to them to drink."

Lin Rusi naturally trusted Tian Lingzi unconditionally.

Therefore, without thinking, she immediately opened the medicine.

But before they could take any action, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away.

"Asi!"

Lin Rusi subconsciously looked up and saw that Li Jingyang's tall figure had already blocked her view.

Hearing the lively commotion over there, Lin Rusi was startled. She leaned forward slightly and, through Li Jingyang's body, saw a very grand procession slowly walking down the street.

Seemingly realizing something, Lin Rusi's heart skipped a beat, and she whispered, "This is..."

Li Jingyang didn't turn around, but his voice suddenly became much lower and more subdued.

"A foreign king!"

He murmured softly, but it still easily reached Lin Rusi's ears.

She was familiar with the name, and immediately gasped, "Why is he here?"

She hadn't forgotten that she and Ye Ruoruo had previously taken care of the enemy's men.

I never expected to meet the person in question so soon!

"The antidote should not be given to the people for the time being."

Watching the sedan chair slowly pass by, Li Jingyang shook his head and looked at Tian Lingzi.

Upon hearing this, Tian Lingzi frowned: "But..."

The poison of Gu is not like an ordinary antidote; the longer it stays in the human body, the deeper it takes root.

Having guessed Li Jingyang's thoughts, Lin Rusi stepped forward: "Master, we really can't rush things. The person behind all this is the foreign king."

"If the people's illnesses are cured at this time, it might alert the enemy."

Her voice was clear and crisp, and she could guess Li Jingyang's thoughts perfectly: "The other party is extremely ruthless. If they use other vicious schemes, we will really be unable to defend against them."

Moreover, the foreign kings have great ambitions, and once exposed, they certainly won't let it go easily. At that point, they will truly be in a passive position.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang's eyes softened, and he chuckled softly, "That's right, let's wait and see."

As he spoke, his gaze fell once again on the magnificent and luxurious sedan chair.

With a clear destination in mind, they crossed the street and hurried away.

Seeing this, the group exchanged glances and quickly followed.

"This foreign king is incredibly audacious. Not only did he come to Danzhou without permission, but he also made such a grand entrance. Where exactly is he going?"

Lin Rusi followed closely behind Li Jingyang and spoke in a low voice.

Upon hearing her question, Li Jingyang pursed his thin lips, about to speak, when he saw the line in front of him stop.

Without him even needing to answer, Lin Rusi's eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly: "The magistrate's residence?"

"How could this be..."

In an instant, all of Lin Rusi's thoughts became clear.

No wonder so many civilians were acting strangely, but the soldiers and officers didn't react.

It turns out that the magistrate of Danzhou County also played a part in this mastermind.

This is utterly absurd!

Clearly, Li Jingyang had also considered this point.

Watching helplessly as the foreign prince alighted from his sedan chair and was hurriedly led into the county government gate by the county magistrate, he sighed, "It seems the court's control is not as strong as before..."

Danzhou is not far from the capital; if one travels day and night, one can arrive in less than a day.

Yet, in such a place, such a huge mishap occurred, and no one paid any attention.

For the emperor, this was an enormous threat.

Unfortunately, no one in the current imperial court knows about this.

If they hadn't stumbled upon this place, Danzhou would probably have fallen completely under the control of the foreign kings very soon.

"Want to go in and take a look?"

As the figure of the foreign king gradually disappeared from sight, Lin Rusi scoffed, "Perhaps they discovered something during their meeting?"

After all, her identity was only recently exposed.

Now that the foreign king has suddenly arrived, she really doesn't think it's just a coincidence.

And her guess was indeed correct. At this moment, in the flower hall of the county magistrate's mansion.

The magistrate was respectfully serving tea to the foreign prince: "This is top-quality pre-rain Longjing tea, would you like to try some?"

The foreign king waved his hand and got straight to the point: "What exactly happened that made you so anxious to send me a message?"

Upon hearing this, the magistrate paused in his work and hesitated before saying, "King Jinglie and his queen have arrived in Danzhou."

"what?"

The foreign king's face turned cold, and he angrily rebuked, "What are you good for? How did you manage to summon them?"

He had been planning this for years, and if it were discovered now, everything would be ruined.

At this moment, the county magistrate had no way to express his bitterness.

Everything was going well until he realized that King Jinglie would suddenly come to Danzhou.

But sensing the angry look in the foreign king's eyes, he could only cautiously explain, "This humble official truly does not know why they have appeared. Should we continue with our plan?"

The foreign king rubbed his fingers together and suddenly asked, "Does he know about this?"

Although he didn't explain what it was about, the magistrate quickly realized: "He probably doesn't know..."

But he hesitated halfway through his sentence: "I can't be sure, but according to reports from my subordinates, Prince Jinglie and his queen have indeed been acting strangely recently."

His hesitant words immediately ignited the anger of the foreign king.

The foreign king slammed his hand on the table and stood up, coldly saying, "Useless trash! You can't even handle this small matter. What use are you?"

He first angrily reprimanded the county magistrate, then took a deep breath, as if he had thought of something: "Did you send anyone to follow them?"

"Yes, there is..."

The magistrate lowered his head and spoke cautiously, "But Prince Jinglie has many powerful men around him, and my men..."

Upon hearing this, the foreign king understood everything.

He glared at the magistrate with exasperation: "Where are they now?"

"They stayed at a restaurant."

The magistrate was finally able to answer the question and quickly replied, "I have already had people keeping watch at the entrance of the restaurant. As soon as they come out, someone will report to me immediately."

But what's the use of that?

As the magistrate said, the other party is extremely powerful, and if they really want to leave, they don't need to go through the main gate.

This is truly a tricky problem!

The foreign king's expression was inscrutable. He remained silent for a long time before finally getting up and walking towards the door.

This sudden action left the county magistrate somewhat bewildered.

He hurriedly caught up with her, asking respectfully, "Where are you going?"

"Of course, we'll meet our King Jinglie."

The foreign king gave a cold laugh, his tone carrying a hint of chill.

If they know what's good for them, we might let them go.

If they fail to recognize the situation and rashly interfere with his plans, he wouldn't mind sending them to their deaths right now.
