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

Xie Lanheng gripped his wine glass even tighter: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you! But what a coincidence, she just happens to know that ligers can't reproduce!"

Shao Yunting knew that what she knew was beyond their imagination, but this was just too much of a coincidence!

"There's definitely a spy among us! But we can investigate that slowly. Right now, the most important thing is your situation. Once the Cui family suspects you, they'll definitely try to take revenge on you!"

Xie Lanheng didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, and he was extremely annoyed. He thought that it would be impossible to follow the Zheng family to defect to the Regent. He was not so afraid of fighting alone, but he was afraid that the Cui family would target his family members!

Once he and the Xie family lose their value, they will inevitably be abandoned by His Majesty, because His Majesty is in such a predicament that it is impossible for him to help him or the Xie family!

Are we to ask him to betray His Majesty and turn against the Regent?

Do not!

He despised the regent, a treacherous and ruthless traitor, and would never defect!

The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, and the young emperor's gaze kept falling on him, increasing his pressure.

He drank three more cups in a row, so fast that the liquor slid down his lips and soaked a section of his narrow-sleeved shirt.

"I'm going to change my clothes. Try to find out from Jiang Ruining who leaked the secret to her!"

Knowing that he was in a bad situation and had no desire to speak, Shao Yunting simply nodded.

Xie Lanheng left.

Shao Yunting also got up and headed in the direction of Jiang Ruining.

Jiang Ruining is currently riding a horse, strolling around the grassland.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, nobles, regardless of gender, were generally skilled in riding and archery, though their proficiency varied.

Those hoping for a lucky draw all went into the woods.

Those who couldn't keep up were all actively playing on the outer grasslands.

Although his riding skills weren't top-notch, it didn't diminish his competitive spirit. Before he could even finish talking, the race had already begun.

Watching his friends ride horses and gallop away, Jiang Ruining was envious and wanted to go for a ride too.

First, we need to get rid of July and November's cranes.

After finding an opportunity to make a small movement, she touched her ear and said anxiously, "My earring is missing, please help me find it."

Without even looking up, July said, "When you secretly threw it down, Eleven Crane picked it up from behind."

Jiang Ruining's expression froze.

The people around me are too perceptive; they're not easy to fool at all!

Lying on the horse's back, he whined and pleaded with July, "Okay, July, I'll just ride for a little while."

In July, her refusal was crisp and decisive: "We've already run a bit!"

Jiang Ruining chuckled: "Is that what you call running? You can't even run as fast as a horse!"

In July, I led the horse swiftly by the reins, its long legs trotting.

She was bouncing along on the horse!

July wrapped the reins around his hand again: "Running faster than your subordinates, that's called sprinting! You can handle running for fifteen minutes, but can you control yourself to stop after fifteen minutes?"

Jiang Ruining makes promises as soon as she opens her mouth.

July coldly retorted, "Who was the person who tried to run away the day before yesterday?"

Jiang Ruining felt guilty because she had been caught sneaking away the day before yesterday, and she had tried to speed up to shake off the person, but ultimately failed.

In July, she gave him a look that seemed to say, "Don't I know you already?"

Even repeated admonitions couldn't quell her desire to run away; once you let go, would she still listen?

Ah!

You'd be better off believing that fat rabbit won't poop in the tent than believing her!

"But they all went to play, and I'm so bored by myself."

Chu Jin and Wan Yi spurred their horses closer to her, saying, "What are you saying? Didn't I stay behind to keep an eye on you?"

Jiang Ruining said plaintively, "I just didn't want to be a burden to you all!"

Chu Jingxi said quietly, "It's okay, I'm not playful."

Wan Yi smiled and said, "I'm not a good rider, so I can't participate in their competition."

Jiang Ruining advised them, "Young girls need to be playful to keep their energy up!"

Chu Jin cut to the chase: "Being too energetic will make you the target of constant scrutiny."

Jiang Ruining: "..."

Chu Jin's gaze fell on what was behind her, she smiled, and changed the subject: "But you're right, it's rare to be out like this, I should spend more time with everyone. I'm going to play for a while, you better behave yourself!"

Wan Yi added, "My riding skills aren't good, I should practice, otherwise I'll just be watching the competitions, which is boring!" Then she added, "Be a good girl!"

"No! You all abandoned me too!" Jiang Ruining cried out in anguish, watching her dashing figure disappear into the distance. "You're all bad guys!"

July untied the reins from her hands, one loop at a time: "I'll go find the earrings."

Yun Mi had been lifted so many times that she could sense when someone reached out without even seeing it.

They immediately countered with a defensive move, refusing to be pulled away in July.

She was trying to be shrewd, and although there was no obvious progress, she had at least learned to observe her surroundings at all times. When she saw the Regent approaching, she immediately and sensibly made up an excuse, and she thought that she was much better at finding excuses than July!

"My stomach hurts, I'm going to the toilet, I'll be right back!"

As he left, he also grabbed Xiao Qing, who had run over.

Xiao Qing's mouth was covered, and she struggled and protested, kicking her legs so hard they seemed to be shooting sparks, but to no avail: "Mmm... Mmm..." Good heavens! What did this girl eat to grow up like this? How can she be so strong!

Yun Mi grinned smugly.

Finally, it was her turn to lift people up. She was so happy!

"Looking for what?" Jiang Ruining was stunned as she watched the people around her disappear in a few breaths. She was about to hear what excuse Shiyihe was going to use to leave when she turned her head and found that the horse's reins had already fallen into Xiao Che's hands.

Jiang Ruining dismounted, curtsied, and greeted the prince politely and respectfully.

Xiao Che reached out and grasped her arm, supporting her as she bowed.

The autumn shirt isn't thick.

His palms were burning hot.

It passed through her clothes and landed on her skin, causing her pores to open and absorb his body heat.

Jiang Ruining looked at his alluring and slender hands, swallowed hard, and imagined the feeling of being caressed by those hands, her bones felt a little weak... She pulled her arm back.

Xiao Che used only a fraction of his strength to prevent her from pulling back.

He stepped closer to her, until they were only an arm's length apart.

His phoenix eyes, slightly lowered, gazed at her. His voice was a little hoarse, even pleading: "You're not going to talk to me anymore?"

Jiang Ruining was excited, her mind was spinning.

That look in his eyes, so intense and tender... even if she'd never been in a relationship before, she could tell that this guy definitely had feelings for her!

But she continued to pretend to be blind, forcing a smirk as she turned her face away, unable to hide her grievance: "It's clearly you who looks down on me!"

"I didn't!" Xiao Che felt more wronged than Dou E, and held up three fingers with his other hand, swearing, "If I have even the slightest thought of such a thing, may all my desires in this life be thwarted!"

Jiang Ruining didn't believe in such vows. If they were effective, no one in the world would dare to do evil or deceive people long ago!

But since he made a vow, she reluctantly believed in his sincerity.

After all, his character is a cold and ruthless minister who would kill his entire family at the slightest disagreement and would never bother to make an oath with anyone.

She deliberately acted coy and didn't respond to him.

Xiao Che took another step closer, leaning his neck down so their breaths almost mingled: "How can I make you feel better? I'll let you touch my abs, okay?"

With that handsome face looming large before her eyes, Jiang Ruining felt a surge of desire and a tingling sensation in her hands. The thought of his dynamic movements made her legs go weak!

But she turned away and said "no," because she was a woman of principle! "It makes it seem like I'm ignoring you just to take advantage of you! Anyway, you're not happy about it, so I'm not going to!"

Xiao Che's hand tentatively slid down her wrist and into her sleeve, supporting her elbow, his fingertips gently caressing her delicate, smooth skin: "It was I who offered myself up to please Princess Jiang, it was absolutely voluntary!"

Jiang Ruining never expected that this guy would flirt with her in broad daylight!

His body trembled.

Xiao Che's burning hot palms actually climbed up and caressed him back and forth!

Jiang Ruining's eyes widened.

Terrible!

What is this guy doing?

Has he become intelligent?

Or has he gone mad?

do not know.

But she knew her legs were even weaker!

"Let go! I'm still angry! Who told you to touch me?!"

Xiao Che could feel her trembling. Her angry voice was sweet and cute: "Yes, if Your Highness says I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. I apologize. Your Highness is magnanimous and will give me a chance to apologize."

The attack was fierce, and Jiang Ruining panicked.

I tried to pull my hand away, but I couldn't.

You can't move him even if you push him.

If she doesn't get herself out of his clutches soon, she'll be completely broken!

Even so, until her goal was achieved, she remained defiant, huffing arrogantly, "Your Highness is truly willing to sacrifice! How many times has he sacrificed himself in private?"

Xiao Che exerted a little force and pulled her into his arms.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together.

Jiang Ruining was held tightly by him, and she could hardly breathe. The hard muscles in front of her were not just her chest and abs!
