The door opened.
Li Jixian saw Jiang Ning lying on the ground, her hands and feet still tightly bound, and her mouth gagged.
But there was blood all beneath her.
Even her thick clothes couldnât keep it out.
Is she dead?
Li Jixian frowned and walked over, pressing on her neck, and felt a weak pulse.
Not dead.
Li Jixian removed the cloth from her mouth and saw her hair disheveled, her originally radiant face now pale as paper, and barely breathing.
This vicious Ms. Ma actually tortured her like this.
Li Jixian was furious, immediately called for people, and had her carried to his Supreme Palace, ordering someone to find the Imperial Physician.
Ms. Ma immediately got up and tried to stop him: âMy Lord, you mustnât!â
Li Jixian kicked her away: âShameless woman, you dare to kidnap and torture the person I want on your own?!â
âMy Lord, this woman is a curse; keeping her will bring endless trouble! Iâm doing this for your own good, for the sake of the East Palace!â Ms. Ma cried out painfully.
âI think youâre just doing it for your own good, you jealous bitch!â
âYour Highness, Iâm not stopping you from keeping her. But you absolutely must not call the Imperial Physician over. Once the physician comes, thereâs no covering this up!â Ms. Ma desperately tried to stop him, âThink about the Emperor, think about Concubine Jin, think about Prime Minister Jiang, think about General Jiang!â
Li Jixianâs actions indeed hesitated.
If word of this got out, even if Emperor Father wouldnât criticize him, the Jiang Family would definitely not let him off.
And General Jiang would arrive in a few days.
Seeing Li Jixian seemed to be persuaded, Ms. Ma hurriedly continued: âAnyway, now nobody knows sheâs with us. As long as we keep the news under wraps, in the future⦠wonât this woman belong to Your Highness anyway?â
âShe looks severely injured.â
âAs long as she doesnât die, itâs fine.â Ms. Ma glanced at Jiang Ning lying on the bed, her eyes filled with venom, âSheâs originally a cripple; I just made her even more crippled.â
âYou beat her legs?â
âYes. Now letâs see how she tries to run or be cunning.â Ma showed a slightly flattering expression, âThis is also a good thing for Your Highness. In the future, when you favor her, she wonât be able to resist or hurt you.â
Li Jixian glanced at Jiang Ning a few times: âIf we donât call the Imperial Physician and she dies, what then?â
âItâs just a broken leg. How could she die? My Lord, donât forget, sheâs already a cripple!â Ms. Ma tried to persuade with a bewitching voice, âOnce Your Highness calls the Imperial Physician, thereâs a chance word gets out, causing the Emperor and the Jiang Familyâs wrath. Maybe even your position as Crown Prince would be jeopardized⦠But if we quietly hide this matter, not only will there be no leaks, Your Highness can also have a stunning beauty who canât resist for a long, long time.â
Li Jixian thought for a moment and said, âYou find a way to treat her wounds well, and if she dies, Iâll have you buried with her.â
âYes, it just so happens that there is a nanny (Nanny) in my room who used to be a medical woman; she knows medical skills and can handle this.â Ms. Ma laughed, âMy Lord, why not send her to my place? Iâll heal her and bring her back to you.â
Li Jixian coldly laughed: âDo you think I donât know what youâre planning? You want to torture her slowly, or take the opportunity to kill her?â
âI would neverâ¦â
âJust let her stay here, bringing your medically skilled nanny here. Besides, seal the news properly; if thereâs any leak, you know the consequences..â
