The shivering Jiang Wan raised her eyes to take a look, only to discover that the window in her inner room had been opened by someone unknowingly. A cold wind blew in, dispersing the warmth in the room.

Jiang Wan, who had already removed her hairpin and her long hair, had no choice but to put down the octagonal palace lamp in her hand. She prepared to close that window, but before she even got close to it, she could smell the pungent smell of blood.

Before she could think about it further, a big, bloody hand suddenly covered her nose and mouth. The sticky smell of blood rushed into her nose, causing her stomach to churn.

What was going on!?

Had he met a criminal?

Jiang Wan, who wholeheartedly wanted to save herself, exerted 120 thousand points of strength, lifted her foot and ruthlessly stomped down. Almost at the same time, she pushed back her elbow with force, and the person holding onto her groaned and fell backwards.

Feeling that she had a chance to catch her breath, Jiang Wan quickly picked up the Eight Horn Palace lamp on the side and prepared to smash it onto that person.

"Wait, it's me!" That person was wearing a black robe and sitting on the ground. His upper body was leaning against the bed while one hand was covering his stomach. His voice was weak and he seemed to be quite injured.

When did he become so powerful? He could actually knock someone down and not get them up?

"You … Just who are you! " Jiang Wan raised the octagonal lamp in her hand, staring at that person with her eyes. As long as he dared to act recklessly, she would smash the oil lamp in her hand and burn him to death!

That person sat paralyzed on the ground, but his shoulders began to shake. Following that, a burst of low and joyful laughter could be heard. Only, there would occasionally be a little cough mixed in with the laughter.

He used his blood-stained hand to slowly remove the black cloth covering his face. With the help of the dim yellow light from the octagonal palace lamp in his hand, Jiang Wan was able to clearly see that person's delicate and handsome face.

"Xiao …" Xiao Rui … "Chat …" She blinked her eyes, and then rubbed them with her sleeve. When she clearly saw that the person in front of her was still sitting there and hadn't disappeared, she raised the palace lamp and squatted down, "You … Why are you here? "

"Hehe, I really missed the last time we left the garden, so I came chasing after you." Xiao Rui, who was sitting on the ground, breathed heavily, but did not forget to give a smile as he said that.

Jiang Wan, on the other hand, had a sullen face, and a face full of disbelief.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I got hurt from being chased down, so I randomly found a house to hide. I just didn't expect to barge into your room." Xiao Rui struggled to get up, but his blood-stained hands had already left a terrifying bloody handprint on the ground.

But after trying a few times, he gave up. He still sat there and said to Jiang Wan with a smile, "Tell me …" Aren't we fated to be together? "

He looked up, a devilish smile on his face.

"Chased down?" Jiang Wan looked at him in horror, and asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you the noble heir to the Duke's Mansion? Who dares to chase after you? "

"Hehe, when I was the prince's son, no one dared to touch me, but what if I'm just a little rascal?" Xiao Rui looked at Jiang Wan with a complicated expression.

A snack? Jiang Wan admitted that she wouldn't be able to digest his words in a short period of time.

However, thinking about their past life, the close relationship between the three princes and the imperial court, as well as their eventual revolt, they suddenly came to a realization.

Actually, the three great princes of Liaodong, Northwest, and Southwest had been secretly plotting all this while. Each of them was a king, but everyone kept quiet on the surface, unwilling to take the lead.

Jiang Wan laughed coldly in her heart, she never thought that the trouble caused by the "three kings in a mess" would have been buried so early, but in the end, she was lucky enough to become the empress dowager's son, Jiang You, that she truly believed herself to be above the three kings and control the entire Liang Dynasty. In the end, she was still just a puppet under the rule of the three kings.

But what did all this have to do with her?

She only knew that the person lying in front of her was Xiao Rui. In her previous life, she had loved Xiao Rui the most.

"Are you severely injured?" Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and placed the Octagonal Brocade Palace lamp on the ground. She reached out her hand to touch Xiao Rui's face.

"Don't! "It's very scary!" Xiao Rui reached out her hand to stop her.

"How scary?" Jiang Wan looked at him resolutely, and with a wave of her hand, she pulled open the front of his shirt. A few new cuts crisscrossed across his fair skin, and the longest was actually two to three inches long.

The injury was this severe? Luckily, she had used her elbow to hit him just now …

Jiang Wan forced herself to stand up, then went to the outer room and brought back a jar of burning knives.

A few days ago, it was unknown which of the old granny Wang's tendons had connected wrongly. She had actually placed an unopened jar of strong wine in the food box, and since no one was drinking here, they were left idle.

"Endure it, it'll hurt a little!" As she finished speaking, she opened the lid on the burning knife and carefully placed it on Xiao Rui's wound.

The liquor that carried a strong aroma of alcohol mixed with the tainted black blood flowed down, causing Xiao Rui Xuan, who always prided himself as a tough guy, to grimace in pain.

"I have trauma medicine under my clothes." With much difficulty, Xiao Rui Xuan pointed at the clothes on his body.

As if not even thinking about it, Jiang Wan directly reached into his bosom and felt. Not only did she take out a small porcelain bottle filled with medicine, she also took out a tightly wrapped oil paper bag.

"You're not afraid of men and women, are you?" Xiao Rui leaned on the bed, looking at Jiang Wan with an intrigued expression.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that you'll die here? Even more so!" Jiang Wan unhappily stared at him, picked up the white porcelain bottle to study it, and asked, "How do I use this? External application or internal application? "

"Anything is fine." Xiao Rui placed her hands on the floor to support herself, and sat up straighter. "Sprinkle the external application directly over your wounds. If you're wearing it, send it to me with wine."

Jiang Wan thought for a moment, then mentioned that she had placed the burning knife in Xiao Rui's hand. She then removed the cork from the white porcelain bottle, indicating for Xiao Rui to open her mouth.

Xiao Rui looked at Jiang Wan with a smile, and opened her mouth in a very cooperative manner. Jiang Wan took the opportunity to pour the medicinal powder that was filled with the fragrance of Chinese medicine into his mouth.

Xiao Rui could only feel a bitter taste in his mouth. The strong taste of the Chinese medicine made him feel nauseous. He quickly lifted the wine jar to take a gulp, but the pungent taste locked his throat.

"Do you want to take more?" Jiang Wan looked at him and asked.

Xiao Rui waved his hand in pain, and Jiang Wan sprinkled the powder on his wound.

Those small wounds were still fine, almost as if they were medicinal powder, and there was no more blood. However, that two to three inch cut, no matter how much powder Jiang Wan poured, still kept on oozing blood.
