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

Jiang Ruining gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and silently rolled her eyes.

You're stupid!

You're the stupid one!

Your whole family is stupid!

Don't be angry, don't be angry. Jiang Ruining is a beautiful, kind-hearted, and great person. She won't hold a grudge against a villain!

Hold on!

Wait and see his tragic end when he commits suicide in the Taiji Hall!

Read it aloud in your mind.

Continue to provide smiling service.

"Those who can stay by the prince's side are all capable people!"

Elevate him.

You can't compare yourself to a servant who does odd jobs!

She reached out to untie the knot in the cotton gauze wrapped around his waist, then unwrapped it layer by layer.

With each movement, her head pressed closer to his body, her loose black hair brushing against his skin like tiny claws deliberately scratching, the itch seeping into his pores and rampaging wildly.

The unfamiliar feeling made him feel uneasy.

He grabbed her by the hair.

"Thank you." Jiang Ruining said thank you naturally, a habit formed in modern society.

Xiao Che raised an eyebrow.

Somewhat unexpectedly, after all, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in the investigation materials was arrogant, impulsive, ill-mannered, neither literate nor martial, and a well-known fool.

Three encounters revealed him to be a smooth-talking, cowardly person with a bit of cleverness!

They have completely two faces.

Either they secretly replaced the person in charge.

Alternatively, they might deliberately appear foolish to lower people's guard and make it easier to delve deeper into the secrets they want to know.

Regardless of the reason, this young lady Jiang is highly suspicious.

Jiang Ruining didn't notice his expression and kept busy with her work: "The gauze is stuck to the wound, it will hurt a little, Your Highness, please bear with it."

Xiao Che gave a faint "hmm".

Jiang Ruining carefully removed the last layer of gauze that was tightly attached to the wound.

The wound was pulled a few times, but thankfully it was stitched up and didn't tear open or bleed. It was still very swollen and covered with several layers of medicine powder, making it look dirty.

She woke Yun Mi up.

"Go and tell someone to bring more hot water, enough for washing and cleaning the wound. Also, tell someone to go to the cellar and get some ice, and say that I'm burning up and need some ice to cool down."

They discovered she also had a slight fever.

No wonder he was sleeping so soundly; she talked to Xiao Che for a while without waking him up.

He added, "Tell the kitchen to prepare some medicine. Take it and get a good night's sleep. Until you're better, just stay in your room. If you don't listen, you won't get any meat!"

Yun Mi was indeed feeling very unwell. Staying would prevent her from properly taking care of her master, so she didn't force herself. She rubbed her eyes, obediently agreed, and left.

Not long after.

Jinyu brought in the medicine and a hot water towel.

She bowed somewhat timidly to the man on the bed, then touched her master's forehead: "You're still a little hot. Please drink your medicine first, and I'll change your dressing. The wet nurse has already sent someone to get ice; you'll have to wait a little while."

Jiang Ruining nodded: "No rush, let's clean the prince's wounds first."

He picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

My tongue was so bitter it went numb, so I quickly picked up a plum and chewed it a few times.

Jin Yu carried a basin of hot water to the corner table by the couch: "Your Highness, let me treat your wound and reapply the medicine."

Xiao Che pointed his fingertip at the sharp tip of the hairpin: "Let her do it."

Jiang Ruining: "..." Why do they have to pick on her, their patient?

Jin Yu glanced at her master and whispered, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will be very careful and will definitely not hurt your wound."

Xiao Che's indifferent phoenix eyes swept over her.

A cold, indifferent aura slowly pressed down.

Jin Yu's eyes trembled, and her head almost drooped to her heart.

I dared not speak again.

Jiang Ruining took a deep breath.

Fine!

A paranoid and powerful person will never allow someone they don't trust to get close unless absolutely necessary, let alone touch their wounds.

After washing up.

She also brought water and a handkerchief to help Xiao Che wash up.

Then he gently patted Jinyu's shoulder: "Take the dirty water out and stay inside to keep watch. Bring the ice in when it arrives, and also get a small, leak-proof lambskin bag. Don't say anything you shouldn't say. Don't look where you shouldn't look."

"Yes, I understand," Jin Yu replied softly, trembling, and withdrew.

Jiang Ruining sat on the edge of the couch, carefully wiping away the clumps of medicine powder that had formed on the edges of the wound: "Your Highness, the Regent, are frightening a little girl. If people find out, they'll laugh at you."

Xiao Che's long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles hooked a strand of hair behind her ear and wrapped it around her ear: "Not just any servant girl is qualified to serve you, Master."

Jiang Ruining had to use all her strength to hold back and not glare at him!

She was the daughter of a high-ranking official of the second rank, yet he treated her like a maid; it was utterly despicable!

"Yes, yes, yes! Rare utensils are all wiped with the finest soft silk! You are His Highness the Regent, how could ordinary maids be worthy to serve you!"

I cleaned the area around the wound thoroughly, applied the cool ointment to my fingertips, and gently blew on the wound a couple of times. The gentle, slightly cool air swept across my skin, like a cloud lightly brushing against me.

That itchy and numb sensation seeped into his body from the wound and pores, rushing up his spine to the top of his head, then exploding. The tingling sensation instantly spread throughout his body. Xiao Che's body stiffened abruptly, and the hand that was wrapped around her hair suddenly trembled and clenched, making a soft snapping sound as it broke off a few strands of her hair.

Jiang Ruining was already leaning forward, and in the pain, she instinctively turned to the side using the force. She lost her footing and her face slammed directly into his hard chest. Coincidentally, the palm of her hand that was bracing herself landed right on that little red bean.

He quickly withdrew his hand.

The fingertips brushed across it deftly.

Not too light, not too heavy.

It's like teasing.

Xiao Che's Adam's apple bobbed, a tingling sensation running down his spine: "I think you need a good beating!"

Jiang Ruining felt wronged and angry, covering her head and glaring at him: "Your Highness! I was applying the medicine to you carefully, without using any force. It was you who pulled my hair so hard for no reason that I lost my balance and fell!"

She snatched her shiny black hair back from his hands.

I sorted it out.

Good guy!

Six of them were pulled off!

"You're being unreasonable, and you're even yelling at me! I'm applying medicine to you, and you've done it wrong by pulling my hair like that! It hurts!"

Xiao Che: "..."

She pursed her lips.

"You're cursing me in your heart!"

Jiang Ruining, hands on hips, shouted: "Xiao Che! Apologize!"

Xiao Che was taken aback.

For many years, no one has dared to yell at him by his full name like that.

He then narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint in them: "You've got some nerve!"

Jiang Ruining was terrified, but continued to stubbornly insist: "I'm not bold, yet you bully me! I am bold... no, I'm bold, so what!"

Xiao Che coughed lightly: "I agree to offset the crime of you placing me under house arrest!"

Jiang Ruining knew that this was already an "apology" from the absolute superiors in feudal society.

Know when to stop.

As long as this madman stops watching her, the crisis is reduced, and she won't have to live in fear all the time. That's great!

He continued applying the medicine with great enthusiasm.

Xiao Che noticed how quickly her emotions shifted, as fast as turning the pages of a book, and unconsciously curled the corner of his mouth.

He could guess exactly what she was thinking.

No one who has wronged him has ever escaped unscathed!

You little coward, you're still so naive!

Jinyu brought in the ice.

Jiang Ruining put ice cubes into a small lambskin bag and applied it to him as an ice pack.

As the cool sensation pressed down, Xiao Che immediately felt much better about his burning and throbbing wound.

This little coward is actually quite good at serving people!

As she re-bandaged his wound, she suddenly asked, "How do you plan to get revenge on the person who broke into your yard last night?"
