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

Rong An lay on the bed and cried.

She was raised deep within the palace and rarely went out, but she saw Xie Lanheng every time. When she was harassed by local ruffians, he came to her rescue and helped her. He was so handsome and elegant, which stirred her girlish heart!

She was happy to learn that Xie Lanheng's engagement had been broken off by the Zheng family.

He also begged his mother to give him another chance to make a name for himself.

Before long, the Northern Liao delegation arrived in the capital for a marriage alliance. She was the only eligible princess in the palace, and she panicked. She begged her mother to grant her a marriage, but her mother disliked the Xie family's weak foundation and refused.

When a young girl's heart is cruelly shattered, it feels like a cat is scratching at her—itchy and painful, accompanied by deep regret.

So when she heard those rumors, she wanted to find out the truth. Perhaps... Xie Lanheng knew what she was thinking and was giving her a signal?

Unexpectedly, she encountered a man from the Northern Liao Dynasty. A gust of wind blew by, revealing her face beneath the veil, and she fell in love with him at first sight!

When she heard Yelü Jing specifically ask her to be the Crown Princess of Northern Liao, she panicked, thinking that her life was over and she was going to die in Northern Liao. But then she saw Xie Lanheng, who had been drugged, appear in front of her. His handsome face was flushed with lust, and he was so captivating!

Without hesitation, she pulled him into the side hall, thus bringing about the good thing!

Although she lost all face, at least she didn't have to go through a political marriage and could marry the young man she loved!

The Empress Dowager now fully understood: "This news was either spread by the Zheng family or the Regent, all to lure you out and make you run into Yelü Jing! Xie Lanheng has no official position; what right does he have to be in the palace? It's all to make you make a mistake!"

"The Regent knew that I had secretly conspired with Yelü Jing to get rid of Lady Jiang. He turned the tables on me, including you and Xinyang in his scheme, forcing me to abandon my own flesh and blood!"

"And yet you didn't even realize it, you fell for his trick!"

Rong An felt guilty, but his heart was at peace: "It was my fault."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "Enough! What's the use of blaming you now? You two sisters, why didn't either of you inherit my wisdom!"

But it's the little emperor!

Even though it was kept in an iron cage, it still grew sharp claws and tried every means to develop its power right under her nose!

However, now that she has noticed, she won't give him a chance to fly away!

Rong An bit her lip, looking at her mother with tearful eyes: "Mother, my marriage..."

Like all emperors, the Empress Dowager was wary of and suppressed any offspring who threatened her power, but she was exceptionally doting and tolerant of those who posed no threat: "It's a fact that you and Xie Lanheng have made it official, and I will grant your wish."

An ambitious young man driven to the brink of despair will seize any opportunity to turn his life around!

We'll see if he'll submit to her like a dog, or if he'll lie low and wait, seize the opportunity Rong'an gives him to climb up, and then continue to serve the young emperor.

"Once you've taken a husband, you're no longer a child. You must understand the ways of a wife, tame him, and make him willingly serve you, instead of being deceived by him and becoming a pawn in his hands. Do you understand?"

Rong An blushed slightly and said shyly, "Mother, don't worry, I know!"

After the joy subsided, I thought of my elder sister.

"My sister..."

The Empress Dowager remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, her voice filled with helplessness and coldness: "The Regent has already orchestrated everything without making a sound. Unless I give him what he wants, Xinyang will have no choice but to go to a distant place for a marriage alliance!"

Rong An stopped speaking.

Because she knew that her mother's situation in the court was not as good as before, and she would not give up her power for her sister's sake.

……

Princess Xinyang, who had not attended the banquet in the palace due to her recent widowhood, learned that she was the princess who was to be married off for peace. She thought it was a rumor or a joke.

As a result, the spies planted in the palace sent word that the matter had been confirmed and that Cui Jingwei would be her dowry concubine. She was completely stunned and collapsed!

"How can a good woman marry twice! I am a princess, of noble royal blood! My mother schemed and plotted for Rong'an, but in the end, she pushed me out to my death!"

"Wow! You're such a good mother and sister!"

His blood surged, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

……

The Regent's Palace.

Although Jiang Ruining believed in Xiao Che's strength and ability, she couldn't help but worry because she hadn't been able to personally participate in the progress of the matter.

I glanced at the water clock.

It's 7 PM.

The palace banquet should be over by now, right?

She wasn't quite sure, since she had never participated before.

"Why aren't they back yet!"

Yun Mi squatted in front of the charcoal brazier, poking at the food roasting inside. The aromas mingled and filled the air, almost drowning out her words: "Just wait patiently. The Prince said he would handle it well, and he definitely will. Making empty promises is not the Prince's style."

"Besides, the people of Northern Liao have come all this way, they surely know who's in charge in the Great Zhou now! They won't be foolish enough to go head-to-head with the Prince!"

Jiang Ruining looked at her, blinked, and smiled: "You've gotten smarter!"

Yunmi secretly ate a roasted chestnut. It was so sweet and hot. She spoke with a lisp: "This servant heard it from Shi'an and the others."

Jiang Ruining: "..." Okay! She's overthinking it!

If this silly girl really becomes smart, she might really suspect that she's transmigrated into the book again!

Speaking of transmigrating into a book.

She has been living here for more than five months.

She didn't actually fulfill any of the original owner's three wishes.

The hope was that Madam Jiang would regret abusing her. Although this was achieved, it was clear that the main reason for Madam Jiang's regret was not because she realized how much she had wronged her daughter and wanted to make amends, but because her true colors had been exposed and she could no longer continue to be the elegant lady she was!

I wish her good fortune, long life, and happiness.

As a result, she was poisoned, and the remaining poison could not be cured for a long time. The medicinal properties in Xiao Che's body could only suppress the poison.

The time required for a wish to be fulfilled is three months.

Logically, completing one task would extend her life by three months, until all tasks were completed, the curse was lifted, and her life would no longer be subject to its control.

The current level of completion shouldn't be considered a failure, but it's really unclear how many days it extended her life.

Unfortunately, she had no system, no hints, and had to guess everything on her own.

The safest way for her to survive is to complete her final mission within the nine months of transmigrating into the book: "to become famous throughout the world with the name Jiang Ruining."

If she can complete even one task well, she shouldn't be so badly killed.

At most, I'll just keep living with this sickly body!

Therefore, she now needs to carefully plan how to make the most of the last three months to complete the mission!

Time flies when you're thinking about a plan.

When I came to my senses and checked the water clock again, it was already the end of Xu hour, almost Hai hour!

He opened the window and waved to the outside.

Today, Baxi was on duty at the manor. He appeared silently in the corridor like a ghost: "What are your orders, Princess?"

Jiang Ruining leaned against the window frame, supporting herself with her hands clasped together. "Baxi, could you go to the Jiang residence for me and ask Jinyu for my private seal, and also get me a marriage compatibility chart?"

A marriage compatibility chart?

Baxi's usually calm eyes lit up.

Is the county princess going to grant the prince a title?

He can't afford to hold back!

Even if it means robbing, we have to get one back!

"Yes! I'll go right away, Your Highness, please wait a moment! I understand, I won't tell the Prince!"

brush!

He dodged in a flash.

Baxi had already disappeared into the night.

Jiang Ruining didn't know where to get the marriage compatibility chart, but she thought that even if it was issued by the government, it shouldn't be difficult for the people in the Regent's Palace to get it, right?

"Why are you spacing out?"

Instead of receiving the marriage compatibility chart, Xiao Che was brought back first.
