Chapter 5

Husband

From the moment Lu Ze woke up, he felt that something was wrong with Lin Suisui.

Although he had never interacted with her before, because of his fourth brother, he more or less knew her. She was timid and timid. She could be coaxed into obedience with just a few words!

How could she be so calm after experiencing all this?!

Most importantly, she actually knew medicine!

Lu Ze had pretended to faint after arriving at this courtyard because he wanted to see if this woman would expose herself next. However, to his surprise, although she didn’t contact other people, her actions made the situation even more confusing!

“Let go!”

Lin Suisui hit Lu Ze’s arm hard. Although it was as feeble as an ant shaking a tree, her survival instincts made her struggle regardless. In the end, she shouted with all her might, “I don’t remember. I forgot about many things!”

It was unknown if this sentence had an effect, but Lu Ze finally let go of Lin Suisui at the last moment. He staggered and fell back into the seat at the side.

Lin Suisui was relieved from the brink of suffocation. She felt as if she had been on the brink of death. She fell to the ground, choking and coughing non-stop. After a long time, she came back to her senses and explained in a hoarse voice, “I hit my head previously and forgot about many things when I woke up.

I only know that I’m the crown princess who just married you.

I know that you’re my husband, but I don’t remember anything else about the past!”

She definitely couldn’t say that she had reincarnated, because it was too shocking. Even if she hadn’t been strangled to death just now, she would also be burned to death as a witch for saying something so outlandish!

However, amnesia was the best excuse now.

“Then why do you know medicine?!” Lu Ze wasn’t easy to fool. It was indeed possible that she didn’t remember the past, but the fact that she was so skilled in medicine didn’t make sense!

“I don’t know.” At this point, Lin Suisui decided to play dumb to the end! She looked into Lu Ze’s scrutinizing gaze and replied confidently, “I woke up knowing medicine, like I was born to do these things!”

Seeing that the crown prince didn’t move, Lin Suisui thought for a moment and added obsequiously, “Perhaps, the heavens helped you. They couldn’t stand seeing you being bullied by evil people and bestowed medical skills to me to help you escape?!”

“Heh, why are you so sure that I’m not a bad person?!” Lu Ze chuckled and looked at the sycophantic little girl in front of him. His hostility instantly dissipated, but he didn’t completely lose his suspicion.

He even caught the flaw in Lin Suisui’s words. “Didn’t you forget everything?!”

“If you’re evil, you wouldn’t have protected me all the way as we escaped! You wouldn’t have left me a chance to explain after discovering that I was suspicious!

If you could even feel pity for a weak woman like me, how could you commit such evil deeds?!

Therefore, it can be seen that you must have been framed!”

Lin Suisui replied quickly and reasonably.

She had thought about it carefully along the way. For now, the safest choice for her was to follow the crown prince in front of her. After hearing that her family wanted to marry her eldest sister to the fourth prince, she was even more determined.

Her family was unreliable, and it was too dangerous for her to continue wandering around the capital alone! However, if she wanted to leave this place, it would be too inconvenient for a weak woman like her, who had no permit.

The crown prince in front of her was undoubtedly the most reliable person to her at this moment.

“Go and apply some medicine!” Just as Lin Suisui was still worried that the crown prince would continue to harp on this matter, Lu Ze spoke again.

He even apologized to her very gently. “I was too harsh and heavy-handed. Please forgive me.”

“That’s fine, but have you thought about what we should do next?!”

Lin Suisui touched her neck. Although she didn’t check, she knew that her neck would bruise tomorrow. However, now wasn’t the time to think about such a small matter. Her life was more important!

“Although it’s safe to hide here for the time being, you also know that there are soldiers searching for our whereabouts everywhere outside!

It’s hard to guarantee that those soldiers won’t knock on every door with our portraits! Do you have any countermeasures?!”

“Since you’re asking this, do you have any good ideas?” Lu Ze looked at the little girl who quickly got up from the ground and suddenly became curious about her next move.

“Of course we have to think of a way to leave the capital first!” Lin Suisui didn’t hesitate. She calmly revealed her considerations to the man in front of her. “When I went out to buy medicine just now, I heard some news that there was a drought in a few counties near the capital. Many refugees had nowhere to live and rushed to the capital.

Although most of them are gathered near the Great Mercy Temple in the suburbs of the capital, some of them had also entered the capital.

Right now, the capital is thinking of arranging for these homeless refugees to go to the north!

We can think of a way to blend in. This way, not only can we get out of the capital safely, but we can also get an official permit.

Moreover, the officers and soldiers who are searching for us would never expect that we would mix in with those disheveled refugees. I believe they won’t be so strict with the search of refugees who leave the city.”

Lin Suisui had thought about this all the way and felt that this was the safest way she could find. Of course, there was also a big premise, which was that the man in front of her could lower himself and agree to accept disguising himself as a refugee.

“As you wish.” However, to Lin Suisui’s surprise, the crown prince didn’t say anything about this arrangement and readily agreed.

Looking at Lin Suisui, who was still in a daze, Lu Ze thought for a moment and added, “Since we’re going to enter the refugee camp and leave the city as refugees, don’t call me Your Highness in the future.”

“Then, how should I address you?!” Lin Suisui naturally agreed with Lu Ze’s instructions, but if she didn’t call him Your Highness, what should she call him?!

“Husband!” Lu Ze looked at Lin Suisui deeply and turned to leave.
