无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

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 couldn’t 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: “My Lord, you mustn’t!”

Li Jixian kicked her away: “Shameless woman, you dare to kidnap and torture the person I want on your own?!”

“My Lord, this woman is a curse; keeping her will bring endless trouble! I’m doing this for your own good, for the sake of the East Palace!” Ms. Ma cried out painfully.

“I think you’re just doing it for your own good, you jealous bitch!”

“Your Highness, I’m not stopping you from keeping her. But you absolutely must not call the Imperial Physician over. Once the physician comes, there’s no covering this up!” Ms. Ma desperately tried to stop him, “Think about the Emperor, think about Concubine Jin, think about Prime Minister Jiang, think about General Jiang!”

Li Jixian’s actions indeed hesitated.

If word of this got out, even if Emperor Father wouldn’t 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: “Anyway, now nobody knows she’s with us. As long as we keep the news under wraps, in the future… won’t this woman belong to Your Highness anyway?”

“She looks severely injured.”

“As long as she doesn’t die, it’s fine.” Ms. Ma glanced at Jiang Ning lying on the bed, her eyes filled with venom, “She’s originally a cripple; I just made her even more crippled.”

“You beat her legs?”

“Yes. Now let’s see how she tries to run or be cunning.” Ma showed a slightly flattering expression, “This is also a good thing for Your Highness. In the future, when you favor her, she won’t be able to resist or hurt you.”

Li Jixian glanced at Jiang Ning a few times: “If we don’t call the Imperial Physician and she dies, what then?”

“It’s just a broken leg. How could she die? My Lord, don’t forget, she’s already a cripple!” Ms. Ma tried to persuade with a bewitching voice, “Once Your Highness calls the Imperial Physician, there’s a chance word gets out, causing the Emperor and the Jiang Family’s 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 can’t resist for a long, long time.”

Li Jixian thought for a moment and said, “You find a way to treat her wounds well, and if she dies, I’ll have you buried with her.”

“Yes, 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.” Ms. Ma laughed, “My Lord, why not send her to my place? I’ll heal her and bring her back to you.”

Li Jixian coldly laughed: “Do you think I don’t know what you’re planning? You want to torture her slowly, or take the opportunity to kill her?”

“I would never…”

“Just let her stay here, bringing your medically skilled nanny here. Besides, seal the news properly; if there’s any leak, you know the consequences..”
