She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

Jiang Ruining looked at his face, which appeared even thinner and more haggard after he lay down on his side, and finally, she gritted her teeth and relaxed her clenched fist.

Fine!

Who can blame her for being such a kind and good person!

She raised her uninjured hand and rubbed his temple: "Sleep!"

As if he had received permission, Xiao Che immediately adjusted his sleeping position, buried his face in her shoulder, closed his eyes and enjoyed her massage. She had a light, pleasant fragrance, and her hands were soft and the massage was very comfortable.

His furrowed brow slowly relaxed, and soon his breathing became deep and even.

As soon as she realized he was fast asleep, Jiang Ruining immediately withdrew her hand and vigorously shook her aching wrist: "Give me your pretty little hand for all that hard work! You can't just not give me a get-out-of-jail-free card!"

They were trapped and unable to move.

Using both hands and feet, he blindly groped around the couch and found the storybook.

I hooked it to my side, picked it up, and continued reading.

The more I read, the more heartbroken I became. The love stories of these two-dimensional characters were full of ups and downs, touching moments, and bittersweet experiences... so incredibly exciting! But what about her? She couldn't be considered a two-dimensional character while she was alive, and even after transmigrating into one, she still couldn't be considered one!

Put the book aside.

I'm not watching anymore!

This is so hurtful to kind people!

She turned to glare at the guy next to her, who was sleeping so peacefully and "well-behavedly," with such a beautiful sleeping face, which made her even angrier!

He's ignoring such a beautiful woman like her; does that make him question his virility?

While still angry, I listened to the pattering rain outside the window and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, the rain had stopped and it was getting dark.

The two of them had completely reversed their sleeping positions. Instead of him nestled against her neck, she was resting her head on his shoulder, her face buried in the crook of his neck, and one leg casually draped over him... just like before, she had gotten used to using him as a pillow!

This is not a good habit.

Even sleeping together is not allowed!

The changes are necessary!

Everything needs to be changed!

Thinking this, she prepared to pull her hands and feet back before he woke up.

He had barely moved when his lazy tune rang out from above.

"woke up?"

Jiang Ruining: "..."

Oh well, it's not like it's the first time I've used him as a body pillow, so what's there to be embarrassed about?

She rolled over, immediately reaching out her hand to him, excited and thrilled: "Gold medal! Gold medal! Give me the gold medal!"

Xiao Che lowered his wrist, revealing a handsome face that had regained some of its former energy: "This is what I gave you last time."

Last time?

When?

Jiang Ruining tilted his head, blinked a few times suspiciously, then remembered the token he had used as a prize at the poetry gathering, and his jaw nearly dropped in astonishment: "Isn't that your royal token?"

Xiao Che asked her, "What words are engraved on it?"

Jiang Ruining rummaged through his sleeve pocket: "There's only one big 'order'!"

Find the token.

I held it in my hand and examined it carefully.

I only glanced at it when I received it, and didn't look at it carefully afterward, so I didn't notice that there was a line of small characters below the character "令".

It's as if I were there in person!

"My God! This is practically a get-out-of-jail-free card!"

excitement!

I'm so excited I'm a little dizzy.

"Luckily, I was worried that someone might steal it and use it for some bad thing, and then I'd be the one to take the blame, so I kept it tightly clutched to my side at all times! If I had lost it, wouldn't I have lost my second life!"

"I was so clever!"

Xiao Che was quite convinced by what she said.

He gave it to her with the intention of testing her. With this token, she could order his people around and even mobilize the troops in the western suburbs camp. However, she didn't expect that she would have no one to give her any orders and hadn't even looked at the token closely!

"What else do you want?"

Jiang Ruining racked her brains, but couldn't come up with anything right away: "I've been thinking about it for days. There are too many things I want, and I can't choose which one is number one. How about you pay me back for now?"

Xiao Che readily agreed: "Okay."

Jiang Ruining tentatively held up two fingers: "Two?"

Xiao Che readily agreed: "Okay."

Jiang Ruining let out a soft "Ah," then sighed regretfully, "I should have said three!"

Xiao Che was incredibly generous: "Three."

Alas!

Jiang Ruining was so happy she felt like she could take off on the spot, cupping his face and kneading it vigorously: "Ahhhhh! Your Highness is so benevolent!"

When Shi'an heard that voice outside the door, he almost choked on his own saliva!

Benevolence and righteousness?

Is that benevolence and righteousness?

That's love!

It's a blatant confession!

If a girl has such a smart head, why doesn't she think about things between men and women?

This is really worrying!

Yunmi was munching on some fruit when she saw him coughing so hard he looked like he was about to vomit his lungs out. She went over and patted his back, asking, "Shi'an, what happened to you? Did you catch a cold?"

Looking into her clear, almost foolish eyes, Shi'an thought of a saying: Like master, like servant!

The master is so clueless, that's why there's such a silly maid.

Suddenly, I felt a deep sense of sympathy for the prince.

If we don't get more straightforward, the betrothal gift list will probably get moldy before we can even send it out!

"It's nothing, I just thought of some good news, I'm happy!"

Yun Mi, a gossip enthusiast, leaned closer with a curious look: "What's the good news? Tell me so I can share in the joy!"

Shi An patted the top of her head: "With your intelligence, being protected by a girl is already a great joy. Don't try to take advantage of other people's happiness; you can't handle it."

Yun Mi's bright eyes dimmed, and her cheeks puffed out like bursting peaches: "Shi An, don't think I don't understand, you're calling me stupid!"

Shi'an exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that clever of you?"

Yun Mi was confused for a moment, but she still realized what was going on and called her stupid!

Enraged, she smeared her dirty hands, stained with fruit juice, all over his face: "Go to hell!"

Shi'an's face was sticky, and he sighed helplessly.

What should I do?

The future empress's darling, you can't hit her, you can't scold her, you have to coax her.

"Fine! Screw you, calm down!"

Yun Mi glared at him, turned around forcefully, and continued to munch on the fruit.

Shi An: "..." He really has no heart!

house.

Jiang Ruining pulled him to make a pinky promise and stamped it, then smiled contentedly, believing he would keep his promise.

"Sigh, has the identity of the assassins been determined? I heard that Lord Zongzheng was also implicated, and two of the assassins were maids serving his female relatives. Was he framed?"

"Is the Wen family also related to the Wen family? With so many assassins infiltrating the estate, did the head of the household really not notice anything? Tell me quickly, what have they found out?"

Xiao Che's eyes showed appreciation as he said gently, "It was the Wen family who set up the scheme, intending to kill me and frame the Imperial Clan Head."

Guess it right!

Jiang Ruining silently praised herself for a moment, then quickly pressed for details, as she loved hearing them: "Who in the Wen family was caught red-handed? Or were they always so unruly from the start?"

Xiao Che recounted: "Wen Yunliang only had one son. He secured a substantial position through hereditary privilege and was quite diligent in his duties. However, he was misled and plotted against by the Cui family, committing the heinous crime of annihilating his entire family. Evidence was gathered against him, and he was detained."

"To protect his son and the lives of his entire clan, Wen Yunliang betrayed the Cui family and orchestrated this assassination."

Jiang Ruining felt it wasn't that simple: "My son is young and easily manipulated, but I'm a cunning old fox, shrewd and calculating. Would I really betray him so easily?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Che seemed a little puzzled, staring at her.

Jiang Ruining, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?"
