After hearing the palace maid's voice, Jiang Li's eyes suddenly widened and she froze in place.

I'll help, I'll help!

Why did the hero appear at this time?! She looked down at the bulge on her chest and frantically looked for a place to hide in the hall.

Hiding one's origins is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and the male protagonist must not be discovered at this time!

Jiang Li frantically searched for a hiding place in the hall, and finally set her sights on the bed in front.

She remembered that she seemed to be unconscious just now?

Never mind, just continue pretending to be dead!

Thinking of this, Jiang Li quickly ran back to the bed and got into the quilt. The whole process took only three breaths!

Jiang Li turned over and wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, leaving only her head exposed.

"Your servant greets the Regent!"

When the figure of Regent Chu Huaizhi appeared in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the palace servants standing outside the hall all bowed to him and saluted.

Hearing the voices of the palace servants getting closer and closer, Jiang Li clenched her hands and closed her eyes tightly.

Chu Huaizhi was wearing a black four-clawed python robe, standing with one hand behind his back, playing with a ring with the other hand, and walking towards the Yangxin Palace with an expressionless face, passing the palace servants.

Everyone in the palace knew that the young emperor did not like to be served closely, so Chu Huaizhi was not surprised that there was no palace servant in the huge Yangxin Palace.

After arriving at the Yangxin Palace, Chu Huaizhi walked straight towards the inner hall.

He was not in the imperial city these days. After receiving the news that the little emperor was in danger in the palace, he immediately rushed back from outside the city without stopping. He did not even go back to the palace, but went straight to the palace.

When I arrived at the inner hall, the first thing I saw was the small ball on the bed.

Chu Huaizhi pursed his lips, walked to the bed and glanced at Jiang Li who was pretending to be dead.

After seeing the blood-stained gauze on her forehead, Chu Huaizhi's already cold aura instantly dropped to freezing point.

Although he disliked the stupid and cowardly little emperor, the late emperor entrusted the little emperor to him before his death. In view of the late emperor's kindness to him before, he had the responsibility to protect the little emperor and make him grow up to be worthy of the title of Emperor of Great Yan.

After noticing the sudden drop in temperature in the hall, Jiang Li, who was pretending to be unconscious, felt her heart tremble suddenly.

The memories of this body have not been transmitted yet, and she doesn't know whether the regent has any grudge against the original owner. Now his aura suddenly becomes cold. Could it be that he wants to kill her while no one is in the palace?

After thinking of this possibility, Jiang Li clenched her hands under the quilt into fists.

I thought I could live out my life as an emperor in this small world, but I was so unlucky. I was just injured and now I was targeted by a poisonous snake! When Jiang Li was hesitating whether to pretend to wake up, Chu Huaizhi spoke.

"Someone, call the imperial physician."

After hearing his voice, the eunuch on duty outside the palace quickly responded: "Yes."

After learning that Chu Huaizhi was going to summon the imperial physician, Jiang Li could no longer pretend. Without the memory of her original body, she didn't know which imperial physician she had communicated with. What if an imperial physician who hadn't communicated with her came to check her pulse, then wouldn't her disguise as a man be exposed? In order to prevent her identity from being exposed, Jiang Li simply went all out.

"hiss--"

She gasped first, then turned around and slowly opened her eyes.

Jiang Li was stunned when she saw Chu Huaizhi.

The man had sculpted facial features and an extremely delicate appearance, radiating nobility from the inside out. What was most alluring was his pair of naturally upturned phoenix eyes, which would make people fall in love with them at first sight.

But those beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with a chill as they were staring at her deeply, causing Jiang Li to feel a chill down her spine.

The chill all over her body brought Jiang Li back to her senses suddenly. She held onto the corners of the quilt tightly with both hands to prevent anyone from lifting it.

As soon as this name came out, Chu Huaizhi's eyes flickered slightly.

"I, my body is fine now, so there is no need to trouble the imperial physician."

Jiang Li lay on the bed, her wet almond eyes staring at Chu Huaizhi in front of her without blinking, and directly rejected his good intention to send the imperial physician to examine her body.

Chu Huaizhi lowered his eyes and looked at her. Although Jiang Li felt guilty, she did not look away. However, her cheeks turned red because she was too nervous.

"Are there any other injuries on your body?"

Chu Huaizhi asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Li quickly shook her head: "No, I just accidentally hit my forehead."

"Well, you have just ascended the throne and your wings are not yet fully grown. Don't run around in the future. No matter where you go, you must bring guards with you."

Chu Huaizhi gave a warning. Because of her weak temperament, two-thirds of the ministers were dissatisfied with her governance after she came to power. Now that the previous emperor has passed away and the new emperor has ascended the throne, the court is in turmoil.

Although the other princes were sick or disabled, their ambitions were never restrained. They were staring at Jiang Li in secret like a poisonous snake. If Jiang Li was not careful, she would die in their hands.

Chu Huaizhi had promised the late emperor that he would assist the new emperor until he was fully grown. Now that he had promised, he would certainly do it.

Facing Chu Huaizhi's instructions, Jiang Li nodded: "I understand, uncle."

Jiang Li appeared to be honest and obeyed Chu Huaizhi's words, but she was very suspicious in her heart.

How come it seems that Chu Huaizhi not only has no grudge against her, but seems to be protecting her? After thinking of this possibility, Jiang Li stared at Chu Huaizhi in a trance for a while.

Facing Jiang Li who was staring at him, Chu Huaizhi pursed his lips, and when he saw her blushing cheeks, he leaned over and stretched out his big hand towards her.

After watching Chu Huaizhi's evil face suddenly enlarge, Jiang Li clenched the corner of the quilt with both hands and closed her eyes in horror.

How can this person change so quickly? ?

He was clearly concerned about her just now, why is he suddenly choking her now? !

Jiang Li, who was so weak that she could barely even lift a finger, closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembling with fear.

However, the expected pain did not come, and Chu Huaizhi's big palm finally fell on her forehead.

After sensing the warmth on her forehead, Jiang Li suddenly opened her eyes, just in time to meet Chu Huaizhi's phoenix eyes that were as deep as an ancient well.

The distance between the two was only half an arm's length, so close that even the tiny, invisible fuzz on Chu Huaizhi's temples could be seen clearly.

Seeing Jiang Li's face flushed, Chu Huaizhi leaned over and checked her temperature on her forehead.

After realizing that Jiang Li's body temperature was normal, Chu Huaizhi withdrew his hand from her forehead and straightened up.

"No fever, take a good rest in the next two days, leave the court to me."

Chu Huaizhi took out a white porcelain bottle from his waist and said, "Apply it to the wound once in the morning and once in the evening."

After giving the instructions, he placed the white porcelain bottle next to Jiang Li's pillow. After making sure that she was fine, there was no need for her to stay in the Yangxin Palace any longer.

Chu Huaizhi was about to turn around when his sleeves suddenly tightened.

He paused where he was and turned to look at his sleeves.

"Uncle, don't go. I'm scared."
