Chapter 722: Trembling Legs? What A Lie

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Liangwei dabbed at her forehead with her handkerchief as if she was wiping her sweat. “You’re right, ladies. It was absolutely terrifying. To be honest, I was so scared that my legs were trembling just now, and I couldn’t even run.”

All the ladies hurriedly agreed with her. “Exactly, it was so terrifying. It’s only natural that you’d be scared, Your Highness. It’s the same for us too, our legs are still trembling even at this moment.”

Chu Jiu and Lin Qingyuan, “…” Who was the one who was running at the forefront just now?

Trembling legs? What a lie!

When the ladies saw how down-to-earth Lu Liangwei was, they were immediately eager to curry favor with her. They had forgotten about Ji Linghui, who was still lying miserably behind the fence after being attacked by the beasts.

…

Ji Linghui eventually escaped death, but like what Lu Liangwei said, she would be spending the rest of her life bedridden.

Her injuries had not been so serious when she fell off her horse, but they worsened when she got attacked by the wild boar and the wolf.

When Ji Qingyuan received the news, he was unable to accept them.

How did his daughter get into such a dreadful state?

The first thing Ji Linghui did after waking up was to accuse Lu Liangwei.

However, she had barely uttered her name when Ji Lingxiu walked in and cut her off. “Big Sis, at this point, why do you still refuse to come to your senses? Why are you still lying to Dad? Ultimately, you’ve brought this all on yourself.”

Ji Linghui shook with rage, her face deathly pale. “Ji Lingxiu, now you’re on Lu Liangwei’s side too? What did she bribe you with?”

“She didn’t bribe me with anything. I’m just telling the truth because I don’t want Dad to get fooled by you again.” Ji Lingxiu was exasperated. “You’re already in such bad shape. Can’t you just sit back and let yourself heal? Why must you keep framing other people? You really disappoint me, Big Sis!”

In a fit of anger, Ji Linghui’s eyes rolled back into her head as if she was about to faint, and Ji Qingyuan was so shocked that he raised his hand and slapped Ji Lingxiu. “Enough! Why must you still make your sister angry at this point? Get out!”

Ji Lingxiu stared at him in disbelief. “Dad, you’ve been fooled by Big Sis!” Wiping the tears from her face, she spun on her heel and stalked off.

Ji Qingyuan was stunned, his heart heavy with exhaustion.

He suddenly realized that, compared to his son, his two daughters made him even more worried.

He turned and looked at Ji Linghui on the bed, his heart aching at the thought that she would never be able to walk again.

Sighing, he walked back to the bed and comforted her gently, “Don’t be angry, Hui’er. Xiu’er’s always got a bit of a temper, so don’t mind her.”

Tears rolled down from the corners of Ji Linghui’s eyes.

Although her father had slapped her sister just now, she knew well that he regretted it.

She closed her eyes and said nothing.

…

Long Yang sped back toward the temporary imperial residence.

He had received the news that there were beasts outside the enclosure, and he was anxious to know if his Weiwei had been frightened or injured.

The thought occupied his mind all the way.

However, the moment he pushed open the doors to Green Bamboo Court, he saw Lu Liangwei sitting in the courtyard, laughing and chatting happily with Lin Qingyuan.

Seeing this, he was finally relieved and strode toward her.

When Lu Liangwei heard the doors open, she paused her conversation with Lin Qingyuan and turned, only to see Long Yang walking in.

As he had gone hunting with the court officials earlier today, he was wearing navy blue clothes that hugged his towering figure, making him appear even lither.

He made large strides with his long and straight legs.

When Lu Liangwei’s gaze fell on his legs, her cheeks flushed abruptly, and she hastily looked away.
