âLet me see.â
âThereâs nothing to see.â
âGive me your hand.â Jiang Ning grabbed his wrist and forcibly rolled up his sleeve.
There were scars and burn marks on his forearm, extending upwards to an unknown point.
Jiang Ning gasped.
She knew that he had been injured, but she hadnât thought the burns would be so severe.
No wonder the Emperor had not punished him but allowed him to return to Prince Yuâs residence to recover.
The pain of burns and scalds were unbearable for ordinary people.
Let alone such a large area.
âDoes it still hurt?â Jiang Ning asked.
Li Hongyuan withdrew his hand and lowered his sleeve. Coldly, he said, âWhat do you think?â
Jiang Ning turned away, becoming somewhat silent.
The early spring sunshine was somewhat warm.
But Jiang Ningâs mood was a bit heavy.
Though she had told herself countless times not to worry about others and to be content with living a carefree and happy life, she was just an ordinary disabled person without power or influence. She couldnât manage othersâ affairs.
But why did Wuâerâs cries keep echoing in her head?
When she thought of those old, weak, women, and children being tortured by Prince of Huaiâs men with whips and branding ironsâ¦
She couldnât convince herself to turn a blind eye.
âYour Highness, letâs go back to Crystal Frost Hall.â She spoke up after a while.
âAlright, Iâll have someone send you and the child back.â
Li Hongyuan thought she was going to pick up the child, but when they returned to Crystal Frost Hall, she did not go to the side hall to fetch the child. Instead, she pushed her wheelchair towards the main hall where the Emperor was.
âJiang Ning!â
Li Hongyuan called her, âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm going to see His Majesty.â
âWhat do you want to do?â Li Hongyuan followed her and stopped the wheelchair, âDo you want to help the Wenren Family? Think about whether you have the ability first! Who do you think you are? The crime committed by the Wenren Family is an unforgivable rebellion!â
Jiang Ning laughed, âI know Iâm not much. Just for my peace of mind, I suppose.â
âDo you think Emperor Father will listen to you?â
âIn life, there are things to do and things not to do. Although I enjoy living a lazy and comfortable life, occasionally, I need to have some courage.â
She glanced at his hand.
Li Hongyuan stared at her for a moment, then slowly let go.
Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair towards the main hall.
Li Hongyuan followed and pushed her wheelchair, âIâll go with you.â
âArenât you enemies with the Wenren Family?â
âOf course, this prince will not plead for Wenren Zong. I just want to keep an eye on you, in case your words are disrespectful and anger Emperor Father. If that happens, you wonât have helped anyone, and youâll have dragged yourself down too.â
Jiang Ning laughed, âIâm not that stupid.â
âDonât be too clever.â
âAlright.â
Jiang Ning withdrew her hands and obediently placed them on her lap, allowing him to push her.
The Emperor was reading a document, and when he saw them return, he tossed it aside and said indifferently, âWhy havenât you left the palace yet?â
Jiang Ning reached out towards Li Hongyuanâ
Li Hongyuan was stunned, but instinctively gave her his hand.
Jiang Ning, using his hand as support, stood up and knelt on the ground, âJiang Ning requests Your Majesty.â
The Emperor said indifferently, âWhatâs the matter, Ningâer? Stand up and speak.â
âI want to take the child back to Prince Yuâs residence.â
Li Hongyuan looked at her with furrowed brows.
The Emperor laughed, âNingâer, are you joking with me? The matter of you and Prince Yuâs divorce was requested by your family. What was my Imperial Edict?â
Jiang Ning smiled, âIt was my fault. I was ignorant. Wenzan and Lingzi are both royalty, and they shouldnât waste their days with me in Jiang Family. Itâs not conducive to their growth.â
The Emperor said, âYou should think this through. Changing your mind back and forth could easily make the royal family a laughingstock..â
