Chapter 720 - You’re Afraid His Majesty Would Be Attracted To Me
Lu Liangwei gave Chu Jiu a nod.
Chu Jiu understood the message and shot out a vital energy from between her fingers which shot straight at Ji Lingxiu's pressure point.
Ji Lingxiu was soon able to move again.
She stood up quickly and ran toward Ji Linghui. She helped her sister up by the shoulders and said, "Big Sis, tell me now that you didn't do any of those things. Tell me that someone framed you."
Ji Linghui was in so much pain that she was not able to say anything more. Her lips trembled. "Quick… Quickly…"
Ji Lingxiu lifted her head to glance at Lu Liangwei, who was standing not far away, and she next looked around at everyone watching them.
It felt like she could see the disdain in everyone's eyes.
Ji Lingxiu suddenly found herself unable to face the situation as she thought about what Lu Liangwei and Lin Qingyuan had just said.
She looked at her older sister sprawled on the ground, going pale from the pain. Ji Lingxiu frowned and suddenly let go. She stood up to leave, not wanting to look at her older sister any longer.
Her father had only given her a vague explanation on how her older sister had been kicked out of the Palace. Her sister had enraged His Majesty, which was why she had to endure punishment by bamboo beating and was kicked out of the Palace, but he made no mention of the jade bangle.
Her sister had instead made insinuations that Lu Liangwei was the one who had caused all of this to happen.
Now that Ji Lingxiu thought about it, she was indeed too stupid to have believed it.
Lin Qingyuan had said something true. There was no need for Lu Liangwei to frame her sister. His Majesty adored and loved Lu Liangwei. His eyes were only meant for her and no one else. Why would she spend time scheming and framing a concubine who was not loved by His Majesty?
There was also Xiao Xia…
No wonder Xiao Xia would always look away, stammer, and not be willing to say much every time Ji Lingxiu met her.
Her sister had claimed that Xiao Xia was bought over, but it did not seem possible.
Ji Lingxiu believed this because Xiao Xia had been serving her sister since she was young. Xiao Xia was extremely loyal. Once, her sister almost got struck by a petrified horse while out shopping and Xiao Xia was the one who put herself in danger to push her sister to safety. Xiao Xia ended up being knocked down by the horse instead and was bedridden for several months before she was healed.
The loyal Xiao Xia could never be bought over by anyone.
However, if no one bought over Xiao Xia, that would mean that there must be something going on if she was unwilling to leave the Palace.
Why would she not want to leave the Palace? It should be better for Xiao Xia to stay by her older sister's side and serve her, right?
Could Lin Qingyuan's words be true? That Xiao Xia was tortured terribly by her sister and was stricken with fear?
Ji Lingxiu closed her eyes and left the enclosure quickly. She no longer wanted to have anything to do with her sister at this point.
Ji Linghui clenched her teeth angrily when she saw that Ji Lingxiu had left her all alone.
That ingrate. Has Ji Lingxiu forgotten who was the one who took care of her when she was young?
Just as Ji Linghui was cursing her sister in her heart, a pair of pink boots appeared right in front of her eyes.
Ji Linghui lifted her eyes only to see Lu Liangwei staring back down at her.
"Ji Linghui, I know why you're here at Cool Mountains today, but you're about to be disappointed. His Majesty would never see you. I'd like to advise you to give it up."
Ji Linghui panted and her lips trembled as she sneered. "Lu Liangwei, you are truly a wicked one… You made me fall off the horse on purpose just to stop me from seeing His Majesty. You've schemed this very well… But this proves that you're afraid, you're afraid that I'll meet His Majesty… Afraid that His Majesty would be attracted to me…"
Lu Liangwei was not provoked. Instead, a small smile appeared on her lips. "It looks like not only do you have a vicious personality, but you have a pretty wild imagination as well. His Majesty would be attracted to you? What a huge joke!" With that, Lu Liangwei suddenly raised her leg and stomped heavily onto the back of Ji Linghui's hand.
Ji Linghui screamed in pain. "Lu Liangwei…"
"Oh, is First Miss Ji in tremendous pain? Hurry up and get the physician here. It looks like every bone in First Miss Ji's body is broken by the fall.. If she doesn't get treatment in time, she might end up bedridden for the rest of her life," Lu Liangwei said anxiously, turning toward the people watching from outside the fence.
