Cheng Mingran stopped the man and replied: "I'm fine."

Ji Lingzhou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "It's okay, it's okay. How serious does it take for you to say that you are okay? You can't even stand steadily and you still want to be brave. Do you think you are made of iron? I think only your heart is made of iron." A burst of scolding instantly poured into Cheng Mingran's ears.

However, this time the blame seemed a little different from the previous ones. Cheng Mingran didn't think much about it, but just said casually: "I just fell into the water suddenly, so my leg cramped, I am fine."

Ji Lingzhou was too lazy to listen to her explanation: "The weather is already cold, why are you staying here alone like this?" After saying that, he still took the initiative to undress him.

Cheng Mingran was still somewhat resistant, but after looking at Ji Lingzhou with a warning look, her arrogance slowly weakened.

"Health is the most important thing right now. Can't you put everything else aside?" Ji Lingzhou's tone was not very good now, but he was really angry with her.

Cheng Mingran finally compromised. Forget it. He had already seen it a long time ago. What was the point of worrying so much? The key point was that the wet clothes on his body were really cold.

It was winter and there was heavy snow outside. She even soaked in the ice lake for a while and now she was almost unconscious.

Cheng Mingran no longer rejected his actions. Ji Lingzhou took off all her clothes, leaving only a small bellyband, and then carried her into the bathtub.

The moment the hot water flooded over her skin, Cheng Mingran breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that her frozen body was slowly relieved at this moment.

Ji Lingzhou held her in his arms without letting go. Cheng Mingran wanted to get out of his arms, but she felt his hand on her waist and heard him say, "Isn't your leg cramped? Can you stand steady?"

When Cheng Mingran heard this, all the words that were about to come out of her mouth were blocked again.

Ji Lingzhou was still wearing the clothes he hadn't taken off just now. But he didn't seem to care much. He watched Cheng Mingran's face, which had been frozen purple, slowly return to its rosy color, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

"What happened today?" Ji Lingzhou asked. Because the situation was urgent, he didn't have time to ask.

Cheng Mingran shook her head gently: "I don't know yet. It's just that when I was walking on the road, the sedan chair suddenly tilted to the side, and I was not prepared, so I fell into the water."

"But..." Cheng Mingran suddenly remembered that when she fell, it seemed like someone pushed her.

Ji Lingzhou also heard her turn of events: "But what? Is there anything strange?"

"But... I seemed to feel someone pushed me. But it was dark and there were too many people around, so I couldn't see clearly who it was, and I didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional." Cheng Mingran replied.

Ji Lingzhou's face looked grim: "I will definitely get to the bottom of today's incident." He replied.

Cheng Mingran did not continue talking. It did not matter whether the matter was investigated or not. There were so many people who disliked her anyway, and she did not care who did it.

Ji Lingzhou looked down at the little girl in his arms with her eyes gently lowered. In this atmosphere, his mind seemed to gradually become active.

Cheng Mingran's eyelashes are like two small fans, and her high nose bridge and soft, pale pink lips easily make people imagine. After all, Cheng Mingran is now wearing nothing but a small dress...

And they were so close together that Ji Lingzhou could even see the fine hairs on Cheng Mingran's face. Cheng Mingran was like a proud kitten, cold and aloof, but... seemed very soft.

Ji Lingzhou couldn't help it and raised his hand to touch her face. Cheng Mingran subconsciously dodged after noticing his action.

Ji Lingzhou paused for a moment, then raised his hand a little higher and finally placed it on her head: "Are you still cold?" There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

Cheng Mingran pursed her lips slightly, then shook her head.

Since no one said anything, the atmosphere between the two became awkward again.

Cheng Mingran's face was a little tangled, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. She finally took the initiative to say: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for today. I am very grateful."

After all, it was he who saved me today. If it weren't for him, I don't know how long I would have stayed in that cold lake, or whether I would have survived to get out.

No matter what Ji Lingzhou was like in the past, she was indeed safe today because of him.

Ji Lingzhou listened to her thanks and didn't know what to say. In fact, he didn't want to hear it because such words always made him feel alienated and indifferent.

"No need to thank me." Ji Lingzhou replied expressionlessly.

Cheng Mingran lowered her head. The two of them ran out of topics to talk about and the air became quiet again.

Fortunately, Li Sheng finally arrived outside. He stood outside the curtain and shouted inside: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is waiting outside."

"I understand. Just wait." Ji Lingzhou responded casually.

He looked at the person in his arms again: "Are you feeling warmer? The doctor is waiting outside, do you want to go see him first?"

Cheng Mingran nodded, and Ji Lingzhou was ready to pick her up. Cheng Mingran was not prepared at all, and immediately exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"

Ji Lingzhou looked at her: "If I don't hold you, can you still walk by yourself?"

It seems that it is impossible... Cheng Mingran no longer resists. It's just... her naked appearance is really a little unnatural.

And... Ji Lingzhou's arm was still on her buttocks, so it was a little awkward. Her face turned red unnaturally, even redder than when she was soaking in the hot water just now.

"You'll need to change into a new one later, so take this one off too." Ji Lingzhou said again, and before Cheng Mingran could react, the straps on her back were untied.

The small clothes fell on the surface of the pool, and Cheng Mingran quickly covered her spring light in front of her. She didn't dare to look in the direction of Ji Lingzhou, and her face was burning.

Ji Lingzhou carried her out of the bath, with clean clothes hanging on her body. But Ji Lingzhou thought it was too much trouble, so he just took out his own cloak and wrapped her tightly.

After wrapping her up, Ji Lingzhou changed his own clothes. But when Cheng Mingran saw him taking off his clothes in front of her without any chance, her eyes widened and she quickly looked away.
