Xiao Che couldn't hear her. Driven by overwhelming hatred, he stared intently at her face with his bloodshot eyes. What he saw was clearly the person he hated most in his nightmares, whom he was trying to strangle to death.

"I'll kill you! Give me back my mother's head!"

Jiang Ruining could almost clearly hear the sound of his throat bones being compressed. He couldn't breathe, and his already dizzy mind became even more confused and nauseous. His face turned purple, his eyes became blurry and dark, and his ears began to ring.

He desperately pounded on his hands and pried open his arms, but his flesh and muscles were taut like iron, and he couldn't budge him an inch, leaving only scratch marks that showed his despair: "No...you're sick! I didn't kill your mother...you bastard..."

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she heard a muffled groan.

It was like casting a spark into her closed-off darkness.

It was during the struggle that the blow aggravated his wound.

He groped around haphazardly.

He found the area wrapped in gauze, and with all his might, he dug down hard.

With a glimmer of hope for survival, Jiang Ruining suddenly unleashed her last bit of strength.

The harder he pinched, the harder she pinched him.

I don't know how many seconds passed.

Xiao Che finally relaxed.

He collapsed with a thud.

It hit her hard.

The fresh air that he was finally about to breathe in was forcefully blasted out of his throat.

"Cough cough cough...cough..." A blur of starlight flashed before her eyes, yet she couldn't quite pass out, tears streaming down her face: "Perverted villain! Inhuman!"

"Miss, bring hot water... Ouch!" As soon as Yunmi came in, she saw her mistress being pinned down by that stinky man. She was shocked and furious. She put down the basin and started roughly pulling at her mistress. When she saw the strangulation marks on her mistress's neck, she became even more furious, her eyes filled with rage.

"You bastard! How dare you pinch my girl! I'll beat you to death!"

He didn't care about his injuries.

He just unleashed a barrage of punches.

Jiang Ruining was moved to tears by her loyalty and intelligence, feeling that he was not far from death: "Let me out first! The weight is all on me, so will you hit him or me?"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Yun Mi paused, quickly stopping her punches, and hurriedly pulled the scoundrel off her master. She carefully helped her master up to catch his breath, "Are you alright?"

Does she look "good"?

Jiang Ruining clutched her aching neck, panting heavily, and couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly strong the original owner's physique was; after all that exertion, she hadn't even fainted!

An unkillable cockroach!

No wonder it held up until almost the end of the novel.

After a long while, he was finally able to breathe normally and turned to look at Xiao Che, who had been pulled aside.

Blood seeped through the thick gauze.

"..."

I checked his breathing; it was heavy, he was doing well!

It's like an unkillable cockroach!

"Get him settled, he can't die here."

Yunmi was very obedient and did as she was told: "Miss, who is this man? Is he really a rebel?"

Jiang Ruining was dizzy and her ears were stuffy, so she couldn't hear what she asked.

Yunmi didn't ask any more questions, but "accidentally" pressed on the man's wound twice.

Seeing the sleeping man frown, she sneezed and bared her teeth at him.

Jiang Ruining examined the wounds of the evil spirit.

Fortunately, they stitched it up; there was only some bleeding, but it didn't tear.

After patting the blood dry with thick cotton gauze, sprinkle on some medicinal powder—one layer for stopping bleeding, one layer for relieving pain, and one layer for reducing inflammation—building up a thick layer of powder: "Wrap it with gauze, wrap it tightly, and then press the salt bag onto the gauze."

Yun Mi was busy with something.

It's finally done!

Looking at his quiet demeanor, Jiang Ruining noticed the disappearance of the fierceness on his face. His beautiful, pale face looked like a precious, fragile object, quite pitiful.

But when he thought of his intimidating methods and how he had almost strangled him to death, his pity vanished, and he pressed down on the salt bag, giving it two more squeezes.

Ah!

I'll teach you to pinch me!

"Ingratitude and treachery are despicable!"

brush!

Before Jiang Ruining could retract her hand, the demon grabbed it and clenched it tightly in her palm: "...!!!" Did this bastard have a tracking device on his hand?

Break it with force.

Just like last time in the evening, it's impossible to break it apart.

I wanted to poke his wound a couple more times, but then I thought better of it. What if I woke him up and he went crazy again?

She was exhausted and couldn't struggle anymore; she didn't want him to strangle her.

"You wipe his body down."

Yun Mi looked on with suspicion, but dared not ask, and silently wiped the stranger's body without being careful at all.

Jiang Ruining did not stop it.

The crazy villain is tough and can withstand it!

"Wipe it several times for the temperature to drop."

Yun Mi agreed.

Jinyu brought over the herbal medicine: "I personally supervised the brewing. I made two portions. I'll tell you I accidentally spilled it and you didn't get to drink it. I'll go and bring in the other bowl."

"I've been fanning myself all the way here, so the temperature is just right now. Girl, drink this and get a good night's sleep."

Jiang Ruining had no intention of yielding to the demon. She pinched her nose and drank the pitch-black medicine in one gulp.

Jin Yu busied herself picking sour plums.

The bitterness vanished instantly, and Jiang Ruining's face contorted with nausea. After swallowing, she disregarded all propriety between men and women and fell asleep immediately: "Don't forget his medicine... he can't die here..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Jin Yu took out some ointment from her sleeve, pulled Yun Mi down to sit, and applied the ointment to her back: "You can't do such thoughtless things again! How could we possibly outsmart Miss Yun Mi, who is so shrewd and clever?"

"Not only did we drag the girl into this, but we also got beaten up for nothing. Since the girl says she doesn't care, we'll just stick by her side."

Yun Mi pouted: "I understand."

After applying the ointment, Jinyu picked up a fan and gently fanned her mistress, saying, "Go and rest, take good care of yourself, and don't let the young lady worry about you."

Yun Mi didn't leave, continuing to press her master's acupoints: "The young lady isn't better yet, and I won't be able to sleep if I go back. I know a little martial arts; if this bastard dares to make a move, I'll punch him to death!"

Jin Yu's eyelids twitched, and she lowered her voice: "You don't know who he is?"

Yun Mi shook her head, staring warily at the unconscious man: "Who is this man? Could he really be some kind of traitor? Miss, you weren't fooled by his good looks, were you?"

Xiao Che rarely attends banquets.

Furthermore, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, banquets, from the imperial court to the homes of officials, always separated men and women. As long as one did not deliberately wander off, even if one attended the same banquet, they would not run into each other.

Unless they were officials who attended court, not many people knew him.

Jin Yu shook her head: "Miss, I know him. It's the Regent!"

Yun Mi gasped.

The thought that he had killed half the officials in the court when he was just a teenager, and that he had confiscated the entire families of people every now and then, made me shudder.

He looked down at his hands.

The Regent probably doesn't know that she just punched him and scrubbed his body like she was planing wood... right?

"When did you meet the Regent, young lady?"

Jin Yu finally realized the problem: "I...I don't know!"

……

A ray of sunlight streamed in through the air vent.

The sunlight shone obliquely on Xiao Che's eyelids, and after a while, they became hot and stinging.

Xiao Che, who was always on high alert, suddenly opened his eyes.

I lost too much blood and had a fever all night. I was exhausted and weak, and my vision was blurry for a while.

I closed my eyes and took a moment to calm down.

A soft, rustling sound.

There was a slight, ticklish sensation in the back of my neck.

The body's instinctive reaction was extremely fast; the raised hand chopped down.
