Yu Shengshou’s bone healing technique was superb.

If it weren’t for his insistence that she needed another month to recover, Jiang Ning might even think she was already fully healed.

Standing for a short time, she felt no discomfort at all.

After standing up, she took a few steps and then looked back at Li Hongyuan: “How is it?”

Li Hongyuan looked at her legs without saying anything.

Jiang Ning was quite willing to walk, so she took a few more light steps back and forth.

Her soft satin embroidered shoes stepped on the ground, light as a feather.

A gust of wind blew in from the entrance, gently lifting a corner of her skirt. Her long hair also fluttered in the breeze.

Li Hongyuan watched her in silence, not moving a muscle.

“How does it feel to walk?” he asked softly.

“It feels great.”

Jiang Ning lifted her dress, turned to face Li Hongyuan, and smiled: “Why don’t I accompany you for a walk outside and bask in the sun?”

“Do you think we’re in the prince’s residence?”

Jiang Ning was ashamed.

Every time she walked around in beautiful shoes, she tended to forget herself.

She was simply too happy.

The sensation of walking normally on both feet.

It had been too long.

Perhaps because her face shone too brightly, Li Hongyuan soon averted his gaze, turned to face the table, and said lightly: “Alright, you can go now.”

Jiang Ning returned to her wheelchair and sat down, asking, “Don’t you want to see the two children? I can bring them to see you next time?”

“I don’t want my children to see their father in a prison cell.”

“It’s okay, you’ll be out soon.”

“I know.”

“You know?”

“Otherwise, do you think Emperor Father would let a cripple continue to be Crown Prince and become Emperor in the future?”

Jiang Ning was stunned.

She suddenly began to suspect that his act of publicly chopping off Li Jixian’s kneecap was not for revenge on her behalf, but to cripple him so that he could not become Crown Prince.

“Don’t presume to fathom this prince’s thoughts with your petty mind.” Li Hongyuan seemed to know what she was thinking, even though he didn’t look at her.

Jiang Ning leaned closer to him with her hands on the table, lowering her voice: “Do you want to be Crown Prince?”

“I’ve always wanted to. Didn’t you know?”

“I thought you had given up on that idea.”

“Yes, I had given up after Li Jixian became Crown Prince. However…” He paused and didn’t continue.

Jiang Ning pressed on: “However, what?”

“Now I want to be Crown Prince again.”

“That makes sense.” Jiang Ning nodded, speaking earnestly, “If you don’t become Crown Prince, whoever does will not let you off easily. It’s better to thwart him before he becomes Emperor. However, even if Li Jixian is deposed, you won’t be the only candidate. Don’t forget, there’s still the Prince of Wei. While you were away, you didn’t know, but Prince of Wei is not as simple as he appears…”

“This prince knows,” Li Hongyuan interrupted her rambling.

“You know?”

“If you could learn it in just a few months, don’t you think this prince, who has been brothers with the Prince of Wei for so many years, would know?”

“Then why have you never guarded against him?”

“How do you know we haven’t?”

“I…” Jiang Ning was at a loss for words.

Li Hongyuan picked up the brush to write and ignored her.

Jiang Ning sat awkwardly by herself on the side.

Originally, they were not very familiar with each other, and after being apart for so long, their relationship had become even more distant and there was very little to talk about.

Moreover, there had been so many unpleasant incidents in the past.

“Then you take your time writing, I’ll go back now,” Jiang Ning said after sitting for a while.

“Don’t come here again..”
