Jiang Ning felt slightly relieved and, leaning on her crutch, slowly moved to the chair opposite him.

Li Hongyuan watched her movements.

She walked very slowly and carefully, seemingly afraid of falling.

Her leg…

If not mistaken, was it the right leg?

Her leg, which he had seen that day, didn’t look much different from her normal left leg, slender and straight, very beautiful. He wondered why it couldn’t be healed.The sourc𝗲 of this content no/v(𝒆l)bi((n))

He patiently waited until she finally sat down.

Jiang Ning placed the crutch to the side, exhaled gently, and beads of sweat trickled down her nose.

It was only a short distance, but it was difficult for her to walk.

Thinking about the difficulties she faced in her daily life, Li Hongyuan’s heart softened a bit.

“Your leg… I’ll have Dong Chaofeng take a look at it another day.”

“I’ve already seen him.” Jiang Ning took out a handkerchief, wiped her sweat, and her face was slightly flushed.

From such close range, her porcelain-like face was incredibly delicate.

There wasn’t a single flaw on her smooth, white face.

Her eyes were the most beautiful part of her face, with long, thick eyelashes, and eyes shining like stars.

She put down the handkerchief, “The Imperial Physician said that it has been too long since the injury. Unless…”

“Unless what?”

“Unless the leg bone is broken again and allowed to regrow. But it’s hard to grasp the right degree for this. If not careful, it could make the injury worse, and there will be no hope for this leg.”

Li Hongyuan felt a chill in his heart.

“For now, let it be. I’m almost used to it anyway.” Jiang Ning looked up at him, “What did you want to tell me? Finish up and go back soon. If it’s found out you left your confinement without permission, it’ll be troublesome.”

“Are you worried about this prince?”

“I’m worried about you implicating me.”

“You truly are a heartless and ruthless woman.” Li Hongyuan sneered, “I want to know why you used Wenren Zong to harm me.”

“Who says I’m using Wenren Zong? I’m just a disabled woman without that kind of ability. Wenren Zong is so smart, how could he be used by me? This is a complete joke.”

Li Hongyuan stared into her eyes.

This woman was lazy and her words were a mix of truth and falsehood.

She was simply unfathomable.

“Do you really hate me that much? Wanting to hinder my future?” he asked.

“Your Highness thinks too much. I really don’t have that capability.”

“If I can’t become the Crown Prince, then you can continue to raise the two children, right?”

“With your generous heart, Your Highness, even if you become the Crown Prince, you still won’t have the heart to separate the three of us, mother and children. Right?” Jiang Ning showed him a smile.

The room instantly brightened.

Li Hongyuan was slightly stunned.

In his memory, it seemed that she had never smiled at him like this.

So, her smile was actually this beautiful.

For such a smile, he suddenly lost the interest to investigate whether she had plotted against him or not.

Was this what they called a femme fatale?

Such a beautiful face, no wonder Emperor Father couldn’t let go of Lin Zizi after all these years.

He shifted his gaze to the two children on the small bed.

“Are you done talking? If so, go back.” Jiang Ning urged him, “By running out like this, you’re committing a grave sin of disobeying the Imperial Edict. Your reputation in the Imperial Court is already bad enough. If you don’t properly accept your punishment, you can forget about becoming the Crown Prince!”

Li Hongyuan looked at her: “You schemed to confine me. Now that I’m going against the edict, if it’s discovered, won’t it be even more to your advantage? Why would you urge me to leave?”

Jiang Ning replied, “You are ungrateful. If you dare, don’t go back tonight!”

“Do you think this prince wouldn’t dare?”
