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

Chapter 165: Showing Off One's Skills

"Morning and evening?"

Seeing this name surprised Li Jingyang somewhat.

He had heard of this assassin organization before, but he never expected it to come after him.

"That's right. These people are highly skilled in martial arts, and they commit suicide if they fail to complete their mission. Fortunately, I found their unique tattoos on the hands of those who are already dead, which is how I came to understand their identities."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, Li Jingyang nodded.

"I see. No wonder the people we sent out a few days ago didn't find anything useful."

Only after thinking about this did I feel a little uneasy.

“Your Highness, although I have investigated their so-called organization, I have never heard of it before, so it will not be easy to wipe them all out.”

After saying this, Ye Qing also felt somewhat helpless, as he had already done his best in this matter.

"This is not your fault."

Li Jingyang also knew about this organization.

"I had heard about it before and wanted to send someone to investigate, but these people are always elusive and it's not easy to find out where they came from in a short time."

“Exactly. Every time I arrange for someone to follow them, they always manage to notice, so this isn’t something that can be done easily.”

Li Jingyang thought about it and realized that he had no grudge against them.

Since they are an assassin organization, they must be acting under orders, which is why they did such a thing.

Thinking of this, the expression on his face became even more unpleasant.

"It seems someone wants to take my life."

After realizing this, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Who in the capital city has such audacity to do such a thing right under his nose?

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing immediately felt nervous.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This matter was caused by my dereliction of duty, which gave these people an opportunity to take advantage of it."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he became somewhat worried.

If these people come back, wiping them out in one fell swoop will not be so easy, and protecting Li Jingyang's safety will not be so simple.

"Alright, I can't blame you for this. They outnumbered us and were impossible to defend against. Now I have something to ask you."

Li Jingyang's expression was solemn.

If this person isn't found soon, it might not be a good thing for either of them.

I won't be in any trouble if I accidentally hurt Lin Rusi, but I'm afraid that's when I'll regret it.

"Your Highness, please give your orders, and I will do my utmost."

“I know this matter is complicated and difficult, but you must find a way to investigate their background. They are highly skilled in martial arts, and if they cannot be controlled in time, it may be detrimental to the imperial power. Moreover, the person behind this is so hostile to me. If I do not investigate this person, it will not be a good thing for our royal family.”

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing also felt that this was his inescapable responsibility.

"There's only one thing: no matter what happens, make sure you're safe first."

Ye Qing nodded before leaving.

At this moment, Wanxia also returned.

"How are the preparations going?"

At this moment, Lin Rusi remembered the meal she had asked them to prepare.

“Your Highness, many of the things you wrote down are things they don’t know how to do, so they are still studying how these menus should be made.”

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi did not show much emotion on her face.

"Your Highness, shall I go and ask again?"

"No need. It was indeed my oversight that led to this. In that case, I'll go and see for myself."

After I finished speaking, I went into the kitchen, where I saw them all studying the menu very seriously.

Seeing the princess come in person now makes people feel a little nervous.

"Your Highness, please forgive us. We are still studying this, and Gu Ci has not yet finished it."

The head chef also looked at Lin Rusi with some concern, afraid that Faye Wong would be angry about this.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi felt somewhat helpless. Did she really look like such a servant?

"You don't need to be nervous. I'm just here to take a look. I don't mean anything by it. You can go about your business."

"Well... the kitchen is a place with a lot of oil and smoke, so we mustn't let the princess's hands get dirty. But let's not worry about it, princess. Please go back and wait. We will prepare the meal soon."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi merely wanted to study how they cooked.

At this moment, I can only feel somewhat helpless.

"Alright, I just wanted to see how you planned to prepare the dishes on this menu. Why are you all so nervous? Just go about your business and don't worry about me."

"Yes!"

Since the princess had said so, he felt embarrassed to say anything more.

They all felt a little uneasy, thinking that the princess was sitting next to them watching, and they were afraid that they might accidentally do something wrong.

"Chef Li... what should we do now?"

A cook asked cautiously.

Having never seen their master come to the kitchen before, they were nervous and didn't know what to do.

Chef Li rolled his eyes at the cook after hearing this.

"Of course we need to prepare everything, including chopping vegetables. We can't afford any mistakes, otherwise none of us can bear the responsibility if the princess blames us."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, these people felt even more apprehensive.

Because of the tension, even things that I could usually do well became somewhat helpless.

Seeing that these people were either accidentally breaking bowls or unable to chop vegetables properly, Lin Rusi also felt a little puzzled.

"What's wrong with you all? Do you think I'm some kind of monster that you're all so afraid of me?"

Seeing this situation, Lin Rusi felt somewhat helpless.

These people were terrified and immediately knelt down.

"Please forgive us, Your Highness. We were just feeling nervous looking at you, which is why we did that..."

Lin Rusi then had them all helped up.

"What are you doing? You don't need to kneel here so often. Alright, alright, I know you're a little nervous. In that case, let me cook."

Lin Rusi had been eager to try it out earlier.

Only now have they rolled up their sleeves, wanting to take their place.

These people were even more worried, fearing that if the prince found out about this, he would probably blame them.

"This……"

"What? Are you trying to disobey my orders?"

Since they realized their behavior was wrong after hearing this, they could only stand aside and observe Lin Rusi cooking.

"Why are you all so nervous? I just came to take a look. Today, you can see how well I cook."

Lin Rusi appeared approachable, which made them lower their guard slightly.

Upon hearing this, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes……"
