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

Looking at her haggard and unattractive reflection in the mirror, Jiang Ruining was stunned and bewildered: "Am I going to scare myself to death?"

No!

She finally got a chance to live again, she can't just die like this!

I finally mustered up the courage to ask!

"Aunt Wan, is there any hope for me? If they can't create an antidote, will I die soon?"

Instead of coaxing Xiao Che, Madam Wan told the truth: "Even if you manage to make the antidote, your lifespan will not be longer than that of an ordinary person. Even if you cannot make the antidote, I will not let you die immediately, nor will I let you die in a torturous manner."

This answer was so real that Jiang Ruining immediately took it to heart: "Really? I believe Aunt Wan, Aunt Wan wouldn't lie to me!"

Madam Wan feigned displeasure and pretended to leave: "Do I look like someone who enjoys lying? If you don't believe me, I'm leaving."

"No!" Jiang Ruining grabbed her arm, pouting and whimpering pitifully. Her heart, which had been pounding in mid-air, finally calmed down, though it hadn't settled down completely. "I trust Aunt Wan. I'll be terrified if Aunt Wan isn't here! I was wrong, I won't ask anymore, please don't be angry."

Madam Wan patted her head.

Actually, if she couldn't find all the medicinal herbs... she wasn't sure she could keep the little girl alive for a few more years.

But having been a doctor for so many years, she has experience. Some people have a bad mindset; once they realize the situation is serious, they scare themselves and end up shortening their lifespan.

By coaxing, deceiving, and stabilizing patients, their mindset improves, allowing them to eat, sleep, play, and enjoy life, and they can actually live many years beyond their expected lifespan.

Therefore, there's no need for her to know the truth about the heart-eating incident; let her family bear the pressure.

This girl is smart; you can't speak too slowly in front of her, or she won't believe you! Speaking in a way that's neither good nor bad will make her believe you more.

"Go do what you're supposed to do. Aunt Wan won't ruin her own reputation."

A six-day-long autumn rain fell in a steady drizzle.

For the first five days, it was in a steaming and baking mode, but on the sixth day, it suddenly turned into a freezing mode. The temperature dropped in the middle of the night, and the perceived temperature plummeted from over 30 degrees to around 20 degrees.

It froze her awake from her sleep.

I groped around on the bed, trying to find the blanket but couldn't. Instead, I touched something warm and snuggled up to it. It felt like hugging a fireplace, and I immediately fell back asleep comfortably.

When I woke up in the morning, I found myself covered with a warm blanket and next to a stove.

Looking up, I was met with a pair of cool and beautiful eyes, as expected.

worry!

I promised myself I'd distance myself from him, but I failed again!

"When did you arrive?"

Xiao Che leaned to the side, resting his forehead on his hand, and lazily glanced at her: "Midnight."

Jiang Ruining was shocked!

She didn't even notice.

Oh no!

She was aware of it; it was cold in the dream, and a warm blanket somehow ended up on her, even wrapping her icy feet.

In her drowsy state, she still thought, how come this blanket is so intelligent and understanding...

So, he is that blanket!

Jiang Ruining was speechless at her dream: "..."

As if remembering something momentous, her blank expression vanished. She leaned over Xiao Che, quietly pried open a crack in the brocade curtain, and peeked out. Seeing no one in the room, she stealthily asked him, "When you came in, did you let anyone see you?"

Xiao Che frowned: "Is he someone who can't be seen in public?"

Jiang Ruining shook her head: "What I did was really not something I could easily show to others."

Xiao Che snorted and got out of bed.

The pearly, soft silk draped over her shoulders, making her figure appear even more elegant: "If I hadn't come, you would have frozen stiff!"

Jiang Ruining's gaze was drawn to his round, firm buttocks, and she really wanted to grab a handful to feel the texture: "Nonsense, if I'm really cold, I'll call someone to bring me a blanket. From now on, you're not allowed in my room without my permission!"

Xiao Che paused in his act of putting on his outer robe: "You think I'm meddling in other people's business?"

"How could that be!" Jiang Ruining chuckled sheepishly. Keeping distance was one thing, but offending someone was absolutely out of the question: "There's a difference between men and women. If someone sees us, they might not dare to scold you, but they'll scold me!"

"I have a bad temper. If I get into a fight with one of your close associates' family members, won't that just put you in a difficult position?"

Xiao Che replied decisively, "They wouldn't dare!"

Jiang Ruining pursed her lips, refusing to argue with him.

When old-fashioned people get stubborn, there's no way to communicate with them!

She also got out of bed.

Stepping out of the warm blankets, the sudden temperature difference made her shiver: "Why is it so cold all of a sudden! I don't have any autumn clothes, how am I going to go to the hunting grounds!"

The weather is getting cooler, perfect for horseback riding and autumn hunting.

The young emperor's entourage should arrive at the hunting grounds by noon today, and officials and their families who arrive early should go to the hunting grounds to greet him.

After Xiao Che finished dressing, he called out to the outside.

July pushed open the door and came in.

He was carrying a box in each of his hands.

Jiang Ruining looked at her arm, then at her own: "..." Incredible strength!

The chests and cages were opened in July.

One box of autumn clothes, one box of winter clothes.

She hung up several more sets of autumn clothes, letting her choose.

There are no gaudy bright reds or purples, nor is it too plain with only one color.

The colors are all lovely.

Jiang Ruining loves them all; they're better than any of her previous ones. She plunges her head into the fluffy fur of the winter cape and rubs herself against it.

So soft, so comfortable!

"When did you prepare this?"

Xiao Che admired her happy expression: "On the way back to the capital, they were all hastily made, with rough stitches, just to get by."

"No, you did everything perfectly!" Jiang Ruining looked up at him, her eyes sparkling. "Xiao Che, haven't I told you how thoughtful you are?"

Xiao Che raised an eyebrow: "This is the first time I've heard this."

Jiang Ruining's smile was as bright and juicy as a summer fruit: "This is the second time I've listened to it! Xiao Che, you're so thoughtful!"

Xiao Che bent down and gently tapped her brow: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Jiang!"

His clear, mirror-like eyes reflected the warm, golden light of the autumn sun, enveloping one silently.

Jiang Ruining's heart skipped a beat, and she almost couldn't resist the urge to kiss him forcefully.

A handsome man is a curse, he's deadly!

"Hehe, you're welcome!" She quickly changed the subject: "But why did you bring winter clothes here?"

Xiao Che shoved the belt into her hand and opened his arms to her: "You've been living in a daze. How many days did you even spend last autumn?"

Jiang Ruining searched through the original owner's memories, and wow, in about twenty days, it went from the middle of summer to the middle of winter, and it started snowing!

"what!"

She was shocked, she was moved, she was a little confused!

When I lived in Shanghai, the arrival of autumn involved a process of "cool and hot, hot, hot, hot and cool, cool and hot, hot... and then suddenly..." I had never seen the temperature drop from over 30 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius, and then suddenly drop below zero.

"Why do you all expect someone struggling on the brink of death to remember so many trivial things?"
