Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper.

She repeated it to herself twice, then secretly turned around and furtively searched elsewhere.

Inside the house, Xiao Tang was putting on a very dedicated performance.

She noticed the black shadow on the door was gone before she huffed and puffed, "My lord, that person is gone!"

They're gone! They're gone! You can get out of here too!

Having been bitten twice, Xiao Tang was so angry that she wanted to bite back.

But considering she still had a dozen or so hours of mission left, she endured it!

"Can... you get off me now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man indeed sat up.

In the dim light, when the man lowered his eyes, the light in his eyes was a blazing light that Xiao Tang had never seen before.

She pretended not to understand and asked, "Your Highness, is this... not quite appropriate?"

[This is really inappropriate, extremely inappropriate! You have to remain chaste for your female lead, and I have to guard my heart for my future little puppy/wolf. We can't...]

She noticed that the man's face was gradually darkening.

His expression gradually turned ashen?

She didn't understand.

Di Jingling grew increasingly annoyed as he listened, his gaze lingering on her slightly innocent-looking face and rosy lips.

What are little wolf dogs and little puppies?

He discovered that Xiao Tang really liked puppies, either villains or male leads, and in the end, she would still guard her heart for both the wolf and the puppy.

It's laughable that a dignified regent like him would have to fight with a bunch of bastards.

[What the hell? What's with that look in his eyes and that expression? He looks like he's been cheated on...]

The more the man listened, the more his eyebrows twitched.

I really wanted to bend down and shut her up.

But that's what I really felt!

It can't be stopped!

That's infuriating!

He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the barely ignited anger within him.

He pulled away from Xiao Tang, turning his back to her as if in a fit of pique.

Xiao Tang looked at his sulking expression and gradually became confused.

She genuinely couldn't understand the villain's actions...

She simply turned her back to him, ignoring the cold aura emanating from him.

Another peaceful night passed.

The next day.

Xiao Tang was pulled out of bed.

She heard the person carrying her instruct Ruyi: "Dress up the princess properly, she's going to the arena today."

Xiao Tang, who was dozing off, was startled awake and opened her eyes.

At this moment, Ruyi had already changed her into a short, fitted outfit suitable for going to the arena. It was a dark-colored short, fitted outfit that made her look slimmer.

After getting dressed, Xiao Tang was put into the Regent's carriage by Ruyi and they went to the palace together.

After getting off the carriage.

Emperor Jingling instructed, "Wait for me in the carriage after court."

Xiao Tang: "...Your Highness, I do not wish to go to the arena."

"Good boy." He said the word "good boy" half-heartedly, and walked away.

Xiao Tang pinched the bridge of her nose speechlessly.

The book mentions that the original owner had his leg bitten off by a hyena at the arena, leaving him with aftereffects, such as walking with a limp.

During this beast-fighting feast, the female lead and the male lead were trapped. In the end, the male lead was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the female lead disregarded her own safety to suck out the poisonous blood for the male lead, making the male lead feel both heartache and worry.

When Xiao Tang read this melodramatic plot, she really wanted to curse.

She was angry because the original owner of the body, who shared the same name as her, couldn't even beat a hyena; he was utterly useless!

It became a laughing stock of the entire court.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Tang exchanged some medicine with the system in advance to deal with carnivorous beasts.

[Host, exchanging for these medicines isn't expensive; it will only cost about 100 points.]

Perhaps seeing how hard she'd been working lately warming the villain's bed, she didn't use any tricks today.

As Xiao Tang took the medicine, a carriage suddenly stopped beside her.

At the same time, outside the palace gates, Xiao Rourou walked out arm in arm with the Empress.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spotted the Regent's carriage from afar and both fixed their gazes on Xiao Tang's face.

At that moment, she had just lifted the carriage curtain and was looking at them.

When Xiao Rourou saw her, her eyes sharpened for a moment.

She recalled what Feng Junya had reported to the Empress that morning...
