"What nonsense are you talking about? With this miraculous doctor here, nothing will happen to you!"

Jing Shiyue retorted subconsciously, but when he realized what he had said, he suddenly fell silent.

My master always reminded me that the most taboo thing in studying medicine is making promises, because if you can't do it, you will most likely be ruined.

Therefore, even if the disease is almost certain to be cured, he would not make too many promises. If the other party does not believe in his medical skills, he would just tell them to get out.

Considering the physical condition of the second young lady of the Lu family, he must be possessed by a devil to say that!

Just when Jing Shiyue was distracted, Lu Ningshuang propped herself up and leaned into his arms, looking listless and unable to even breathe when speaking.

"Brother Imperial Physician, my bones ache from the cold. I hope you wouldn't mind if I borrow your body temperature?"

Jing Shiyue was originally bothered by it, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw the girl's thin body curled up into a small ball in his arms.

Her face was transparently pale, with heavy fatigue between her brows. She looked as if she was trying hard to stay awake, and her whole body felt broken.

She seemed to have regarded herself as a lifeline.

The doctor's kindness and the throbbing in his heart made Jing Shiyue give up resisting. He remained sitting sideways, letting his body temperature transfer quietly.

His master's instructions echoed in his ears, but in the end he threw them all out of his mind.

Miss Lu is really cunning!

He is well-behaved, but some people are not.

The soft and boneless little hands moved from his back to his sensitive waist, pinching it without knowing how hard to do it.

"Um...Ms. Lu!"

Jing Shiyue tensed his body and voice.

Lu Ningshuang ignored him, and reached her cold fingertips into the right lapel, muttering in a depressed tone:

"Brother Imperial Physician, what is my condition like? I feel so tired. Can I still live to see my prime years?"

The prime of life refers to a girl’s twenties.

Twenty years old was the fate that the master in the book had given her. No matter whether it was the plot before or after the heroine's rebirth, she could not overcome this calamity.

The pervasive feeling of world-weariness isolated her from reality.

"Don't, don't be like this..."

He held down the hand that was causing trouble on his waist, sighed imperceptibly, and said, "It's wrong for you to do this, Miss Lu."

Then he raised his right hand and patted the girl's back, every word he said was a promise.

"With me here, the Second Miss will be fine. As long as you are determined to survive, I will do everything I can to help you."

"A promise of a thousand gold?"

"A promise worth a thousand gold!"

Lu Ningshuang smiled. What she disbelieved most was promises. Even a contract written in black and white could be invalidated artificially, let alone a light promise.

She only believes in what she gets.

"I do not believe!"

She curled her lips and glanced at him, playful and charming.

"a man of his words."

Jing Shiyue said solemnly.

"I won't chase you with a four-horse carriage!"

Lu Ningshuang shook her head, her eyelids slowly raised, and her charming eyes fixed on the man in front of her.

She sat astride him, her slender fingertips wrapped around his belt, and whispered in his ear:

"I don't want your promises, I want you to be mine."

She put her arms around his neck and accompanied him with her soft breathing, "Brother Imperial Doctor, you are mine..."

"Miss Lu Er, you!"

Jing Shiyue pinched the girl's hand that was hooked on his belt, his face flushed, but his eyes became deep.

He still had some sanity left, and spoke angrily:

"Do you know what you're doing?!"

Lu Ningshuang looked at him calmly. She looked like a sick girl, but when she smiled there was a sense of silent madness.

"I won't force you, you can refuse if you don't want to.

Of course, other methods are possible, I just want a more solid relationship.

If you can't even do such a small thing, it seems that the promise made by the imperial physician is not true~~"

She supported Jing Shiyue's shoulders with her elbows, touched his forehead with her fingertips, and smiled with tears in her eyes.

The wound on her left shoulder began to bleed again as she leaned back, creating a bloody temptation against her glowing white skin.

Lu Ningshuang kissed the corner of Jing Shiyue's lips, and her slender fingers slid down from his chest. She seemed to comfort him:

"Don't worry, no one knows except you and me."

Jing Shiyue closed his eyes, held her head and kissed her back hard. The girl's lips were soft and sweet, enough to make people fall in love with her.

Who would have thought that after twenty-six years of celibacy, he would be seduced by a little girl.

Miss Lu, you are really...

He swallowed the words "cunning" along with the girl's broken breath.

The princess's mansion was flooded with blood.

During the day, the circus burned a large amount of Dongluo grass powder using the "rebirth from the ashes" trick.

That thing looks ordinary and can be found everywhere in the hilly areas. Once it comes into contact with peach blossoms, it will produce the same effect as softening muscle powder.

What a coincidence, the crystal fruit served at the dinner was made of peach blossoms.

Anyone who had watched the circus and eaten the crystal fruit would be infected. At first, they felt weak and thought they had drunk too much.

Later, assassins appeared one after another, and each time they hit the target, everyone began to suspect that there was something wrong with their bodies.

They ran away in a hurry, but most of them fell to the ground with weak legs and watched the butcher's knife fall on their necks.

Although there are guards in the princess's mansion, they are no match for the assassins who have received rigorous training and have great martial arts skills.

Moreover, more than three groups emerged, which directly weakened the defense force of the princess's mansion.

Xiao Churan didn't watch the show, but was unlucky enough to spend a long time wandering around Anxiang Garden. The only thing he was thankful for was that he didn't like desserts, so he threw away the crystal fruit after taking one bite.

As the fireworks burst into life, a group of masked assassins suddenly appeared and started hacking at him.

Xuan Ming faced the enemies alone and was unable to defeat them, so he protected Xiao Churan and fled to a place with fewer people.

Later, Xuan Ming led the pursuers away alone, and Xiao Churan, who was left alone, was targeted by another group of assassins.

"You are the regent after all, don't you know any martial arts?"

Relying on the memories of her previous life, Lu Yingxue rushed out from the darkness and dragged Xiao Churan, who was about to be beheaded, into the secret passage of the princess's mansion.

"Who said the Regent King would learn martial arts?"

Xiao Churan retorted arrogantly.

Lu Yingxue curled her lips when she saw this. What was there to be proud of about a empty-headed regent who could only stir up hatred and had no ability to protect himself?

"Use your regent's mind to analyze what happened to the assassin today?"

"You are jealous of me~~"

"The enemy is right outside, and you're still in the mood to joke?"

Lu Yingxue was so angry that she almost laughed.

If it weren't for the fact that you died a pitiful death in your previous life, which brought me a lot of comfort, I would not have bothered to save you just now!

"Well, I don't know about the others, but it is undeniable that one group came for me."

"But who would dare to plot an assassination against you at the birthday banquet of the Ninth Princess, who is so favored by His Majesty? Who can be sure that you will come today?"

Xiao Churan didn't answer for a long time. The dark tunnel was eerily quiet. Lu Yingxue groped her way forward based on her memory and her hands were covered in blood.

Wouldn’t that great villain die early?
