Chapter 319: Maligning Us Of Being Cohorts
Lu Liangwei’s lips curved upward slightly. Having this imperial physician here was more than enough. She did not need to do a thing.
Long Chi’s expression became grimmer. He looked at the woman in his arms and found himself feeling more and more annoyed, but there were many at the scene, so he eventually suppressed that feeling.
He looked toward the imperial physician and Lu Liangwei and said softly, “The Crown Princess was just feeling anxious, which was why she acted out of line. She was not personally against both of you.”
“Does the Crown Prince believe the diagnosis of the imperial physician?” Lu Liangwei looked at him with a slight smile on her face.
Long Chi hesitated momentarily and nodded. “All of us are well aware of Imperial physician Wu’s medical skills. I believe his words. Please get up, Imperial physician Wu.”
Imperial physician Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. “Thank you for believing in my medical skills, Your Highness.”
With that, he stood up.
Lu Liangwei looked toward Lu Yunshuang, whose back was against her. “Big Sis, you’ve heard it. I’m not the only one who diagnosed you with symptoms of miscarrying. Even Imperial physician Wu came to the same conclusion. Since the Crown Prince also believes Imperial physician Wu, shouldn’t you be keeping your promise?”
Lu Yunshuang continued staying in Long Chi’s arms, wis.h.i.+ng fervently that she could just pa.s.s out right then. Unfortunately, her consciousness was clear and awake. Even if she wanted to faint, she was unable to.
Lu Yunshuang felt a seething hatred at Lu Liangwei’s delight when saying those words.
That moron, Lu Liangwei. How dare she refuse to let this go?
Lu Yunshuang clenched tight onto Long Chi’s s.h.i.+rt front and acted in a very embarra.s.sed and frightened manner. “I acted too anxiously just now. I’ve waited for so long to have this child, but Lil Sis, your words were like a basin of ice-cold water that poured onto my heart. I was just in too much distress and have said words I shouldn’t have. Lil Sis, can you forgive me?”
Lu Liangwei gave the back of Lu Yunshuang a sarcastic look.
Lu Yunshuang did not even bother to turn around. This was such an insincere apology which made it feel like she was compelling things to work her way.
“It’s not that I insist on Big Sis apologizing to me, but the words you had said to me were far too unnerving. You made it sound like I was really unwilling to see you happy and had purposely said those things. Even when Imperial physician Wu had given you the same diagnosis, you were doubtful of his medical skills, even going to the extent of maligning us of being cohorts.”
“If not for the Crown Prince’s wise judgment of believing me and Imperial physician Wu, we would be forced to carry this injustice without a chance of redemption. Big Sis may be the Crown Princess, but you should not act so brashly with your words and actions in the future. We are family. I wouldn’t take it to heart no matter how much you malign me, but it’s different with outsiders. It’s not fair to others when you malign them with such ease. Am I right, Big Sis?”
Lu Yunshuang was so angry, her face went green. However, she could not lose her temper in front of so many people.
Why had she been unaware that the moron, Lu Liangwei, had such a way with words?
Now that everyone heard Lu Liangwei’s words, they might think Lu Yunshuang was a petty person who picked on Lu Liangwei on purpose. Besides that, as the Crown Princess, she had thoughtlessly maligned others, which was a side that was very different from how she acted in public. What would others think of her?
Lu Yunshuang clenched tight onto Long Chi’s front s.h.i.+rt. She wanted nothing more than to turn around and slap Lu Liangwei.
However, she was at a disadvantage in this situation. His Majesty and the Crown Prince were both present. If she did something like that, it would be the end of her position as Crown Princess.
Lu Yunshuang was angry and frustrated. She said in a weak voice, “Lil Sis, I was wrong, you…”
She had just uttered the word ‘you’ when her head fell to the side and she fainted in Long Chi’s arms.
Long Chi was startled as he quickly lowered his head to call out to her, “Shuang’er?”
His gaze fell upon her pale face and the annoyance he felt vanished into the air.
