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

"Thank you, Master." Baxi accepted the teacup with both hands, drank the tea in one gulp, and replied, "Your Excellency instructed me to dispatch the grain and medicine to your location. They just arrived."

He put down his teacup and pointed outside.

"There is also a well-trained guard team to ensure your safety."

Jiang Ruining's heart skipped a beat. This was exactly what she had been worried about. With their strength divided, both of them would be in danger. That was why she had left a letter specifically forbidding him from interfering!

He still brought the person over!

"You've brought him here, what about Xiao Che's side?"

Baxi's round face showed no worry: "Don't worry, Master. I have plenty of people protecting me. I'm waiting for you to come back and settle accounts. I won't let anything happen to me."

Settle the score!

Jiang Ruining's eye twitched; she felt a little guilty.

She clung to him every night before she left, and he noticed something was wrong, but she didn't say anything, which was considered deception.

"Is he angry?"

Baxi's legs trembled slightly at the thought of the chill emanating from his master. He was also relieved that he had been assigned to assist the county princess, so he wouldn't have to endure the master's chill every day: "You put yourself in danger without consulting me. It's hard for me not to be angry."

Jiang Ruining: "..." Sorry!

"I'm doing this so I can be worthy of him! He's the regent, and his position might get even better in the future. If I can't increase my own value, I won't have the confidence to stand in front of him, and I won't be able to hold onto my rightful place!"

Baxi spoke up for his own family, saying, "My husband likes you because you're so good."

Jiang Ruining held a cup of hot tea as if it were holding her own burning heart: "In my heart, he's the best too! But the gap in our social standing is too big. I feel inferior, and if I feel inferior, how can we love each other?"

"What if he sees a prettier, smarter, more capable, or more famous woman in the future and then rejects me? I like him so much. I'd be heartbroken to watch him fall for someone else and be all lovey-dovey with another woman!"

"Therefore, I must work hard to build reputation and status, to make myself more valuable!"

Ba Xi: "..." It's so sweet it makes my teeth ache! But if I were here, I'd definitely feel all comfortable and lightheaded from the sweetness! Ha, men blinded by love become idiots when facing their beloved! Hmm, that's what Eleven Crane said, he's seen a lot of dramas and has experience!

Seeing his "you're so cloying" expression, Jiang Ruining realized that she herself was a little cloying too.

However, in order to show loyalty and affection to a certain lord in the capital, I have to say a lot.

They used the pen in Baxi's hand to pass it back to him, hoping to appease him.

Otherwise, you'll have a hard time coaxing me next time we meet!

But after waiting for two days, she still didn't see Baxi send any news to the capital.

"Aren't you going to send him a message?"

If he doesn't send a message, wouldn't all her flattery be in vain?

Baxi's serious expression carried a hint of mockery: "Master said that your ability to deceive people is too amazing, and he's afraid that your sweet words will fool him. Unless it's an emergency, you're not allowed to send him any messages!"

Jiang Ruining: "..." Speechless. "He's probably afraid he won't be able to control himself and will come looking for me!"

Baxi: "Your understanding of me is the same as my understanding of you."

Jiang Ruining's expression changed, and she smiled broadly: "That just proves we're a match made in heaven!"

Ah!

The Regent is so obedient; if he's not allowed to come, he really won't come!

I like it even more now, what should I do!

However, if she fails to fulfill her last wish, she will face the fate of having her soul scattered.

Her soul has dispersed, and so it has dispersed. But what about him?

Will I be sad?

Will he blame her for disturbing his heart and not staying with him until old age and death?

And what if he forgets her soon?

Baxi noticed a fleeting hint of loneliness in her radiant smile and felt puzzled.

The prince adores her and indulges her every whim, so why does she still feel lonely?

"You know how much I love you, so why are you going through all this trouble, putting yourself in danger? You should know that even if a natural disaster doesn't strike here, the Empress Dowager's people will still be watching you!"

Jiang Ruining said earnestly, "Of course I hope everyone thinks that I'm a good match for the prince, not that I'm lucky or fortunate to have married him. I'm a person who cares a lot about my image, okay!"

Baxi: "..." I don't believe it!

But he was just a subordinate, so it wasn't convenient for him to ask too many questions.

Jiang Ruining looked up at the boundless sky.

He murmured in a very low voice, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. If I don't come, I'll die quickly."

Baxi, with his excellent hearing, caught a few faint words and a sigh tinged with despair.

Not coming?

die?

What do you mean? Will I die if I don't come?

Why?

He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. Before leaving the country, she was arrogant and domineering, like a phoenix shrouded in golden light. But now, she was surrounded by anxiety, sorrow, helplessness and confusion, as if she had walked into a dead end and had no clue how to get out of the predicament!

Even though the prince praised her intelligence as unmatched, what difficulties did she encounter that the prince couldn't solve and she had to figure out on her own?

"If you have any difficulties, please tell us, and we can solve them together."

Jiang Ruining was slightly taken aback, then realized that he might have heard her whisper.

She smiled and said, "What he did, and what you all did to help me, were all ways to solve my problems. As for the rest... well, that's up to fate!"

There was no task panel, no system, and the task completion rate was entirely based on guesswork. She didn't know who would determine whether it was completed or not.

She was the one who had to fulfill the original owner's wishes; she couldn't rely on others for everything.

Otherwise, no matter how well she does, the credit won't go to her!

She even wondered if the person who agreed to let the original owner exchange souls wanted her to see for herself what kind of lives people who were even worse off than her were living, so that she would cherish life.

But what could possibly make someone go to such lengths for a person who is just an ordinary person like her?

Or is it that the novel she's currently in, which has had its plot altered, is being read by many people?

Or perhaps, her current life is an "AI" comic book being played out?

Is this a warning not just for her, but for many others?

However, she can't see the comments or get any notifications?

do not know!

I know nothing!

worry!

"Go quickly and write a little note to tell him that I miss him a little! Tell him to wait for me obediently in the capital, and to handle the issues with the concubines and maids properly—left, middle, and right, yes, absolutely! Absolutely! You must remind him to remain chaste!"

Baxi covered his face, his tooth aching: "You can write it yourself!"

"Oh dear!" Jiang Ruining tossed the handkerchief in her hand and smiled sweetly, "When you write it, it's more like you've spied on my secret. He'll be even happier if he sees it."

Baxi's expression was somewhat constipated: "Your subordinate doesn't understand emotions and is afraid of describing them poorly!"

July's cold face twitched twice. She turned her head and looked into the distance: "..." As long as I don't have to write, I'll do anything!

Eleven Crane lay on the roof beam, flipping through his little notebook. He had been listening to a lot of new dramas lately, and there were many new plots. The slightly childish boy had a happy look on his face. He looked down at Baxi's constipated face and blinked: "..." Baxi needs to watch more dramas to increase his tolerance for the sweetness of love!

Jiang Ruining looked at Baxi with a worried expression and sighed.

In this battlefield without gunfire, Baxy suffered a complete defeat!

Just kidding, you can't offend them at all! And you can't go against them at all!

Fearing retribution later, they resorted to mixed doubles!

"Write!"

"I'll write it right away!"

……

The Regent's Palace.

Academy.

Bright lights.

A slender figure moved around in the study, stopped in front of the flower stand, touched the flower stems in the vase with her hand, but looked in the direction of the bedroom, as if she really wanted to go in and take a look.

But she dared not, because being allowed into the study was already a unique honor among all the concubines, and she would not challenge the regent's anger and patience.

"Take care of your eyes."

The cold tone made Consort Li tremble. She hurriedly averted her gaze, turned to look at the Regent, and suppressed her panic. The broken flower branch in her hand betrayed her nervousness: "Your Highness, rest assured, I know my place and will not look at things I shouldn't."

She was born in the residence of the Grand Princess.

My grandmother was the late emperor's aunt, the legitimate daughter of the empress, and of noble status.

Her grandfather was the patriarch of the Li clan of Longxi, and held the title of Duke. After his death, both the title and the position of patriarch were passed on to her father.

Her mother was the younger sister of the late emperor, the aunt of the current emperor and regent, and also a princess.

Although the princess had no real power, her status and lineage were undeniable!

She has half royal blood, and her status is undoubtedly noble.

It's just that the family used to be too low-key, which is why the clowns in the Cui family were able to jump around so happily.

I glanced at the door of the dormitory.

When she arrived today, she happened to see the Regent coming out of the house. Although the door closed quickly, she still caught a glimpse of the interior decoration, which was pink and purple!

Only women would like this color!

She couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, according to custom, the principal wife should enter the manor first, followed by the concubines. However, we have been here for almost two months now. When will the principal wife take her place in the main hall of the Phoenix Palace?"
