Chapter 458: Watch Me Get Back at You!_1
Imperial Physician Jiang placed a silk handkerchief on Linghe’s wrist before taking her pulse through it. After the examination, he bowed to An Jing and said, "Replying to the Princess, the Commandery Princess has no serious illness. It’s merely a case of wind-cold invasion. I’ll prescribe a few doses of medicine, and she should recover after taking them."
An Jing nodded, "As long as it’s nothing serious." She paused, then continued, "However, didn’t the Prince of Pingjun say that the Commandery Princess fell ill due to pining for my husband? How come it is now wind-cold?"
Fearing the accusation of deceiving the Emperor, Linghe immediately said, "Linghe indeed yearns for the King of Eternal Victory, day and night without cease. The night before last, overcome with thoughts of the King of Eternal Victory and unable to sleep, I went to watch the moon. Who would have thought the night would bring heavy dew and lead me to catch a cold? It can still be considered an illness born from yearning for the King of Eternal Victory."
In this world of restraint, Linghe’s words were exceptionally shameless, especially since she spoke them in the presence of his wife—utterly shameless. Those who had come with An Jing to enjoy the spectacle all snickered unabatedly.
What a disgrace to the title of a Commandery Princess Linghe was.
Had someone else spoken such words, they wouldn’t have been so brazen, but coming from an unwed maiden like Linghe, it was the epitome of shamelessness.
From now on, Linghe could forget about raising her head high in the noble circles.
If only Linghe knew that the man she fancied had married into the family and had no right to remarry, while An Jing was truly the head of the family, Linghe’s expression would certainly be priceless.
With these thoughts in mind, the snickers grew even louder.
Linghe thought the others were laughing at her boldness to speak such words as a maiden, but compared to the crime of deceiving the Emperor, which was punishable by death, she preferred to be the subject of ridicule.
