The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

"I didn't know you thought that way," Luo Chenfeng said, glancing at her.

"Tsk, anyway, in my mind, that's exactly how Wei Jingnan should be," Ruan Mozhu said, fiddling with her fingers and her eyes sparkling.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chenfeng raised an eyebrow and smiled, then said nothing more.

The two fell silent for a moment.

"Oh, right," Ruan Mozhu suddenly whispered after a moment.

"What's wrong"

"Hmm, you live here and are fellow disciples with Wei Jingnan. So what do you do at the Prince's Mansion? Are you the CEO?" After looking Wei Jingnan up and down, Ruan Mozhu thought that her idea was quite plausible.

However, Luo Chenfeng frowned in confusion upon hearing the unfamiliar words she used: "What? What are those things?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mozhu's face instantly fell. She had forgotten that this was ancient times, and the people here had no idea what a CEO was.

At that moment, he felt somewhat ashamed and touched his forehead, where there was no sweat at all.

"Well, it means you're like a steward, which means that besides Wei Jingnan, you're the most powerful person in this manor." Fearing that Luo Chenfeng might not understand, Ruan Mozhu went on to explain further.

After listening, Luo Chenfeng suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so that's what it means. But I'm not anything, what was it again?" He looked at Ruan Mozhu.

“It’s the CEO,” Ruan Mozhu repeated.

"Well, I'm just a humble doctor. If you ever have any serious illness or pain in the future, you can come to me. I'll definitely treat you properly." Although he had a smile in his eyes and seemed a bit nonchalant, Ruan Mozhu saw seriousness in his eyes.

I know what he said is true.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She lowered her head discreetly: "That's right! Since Wei Jingnan poisoned me, I can just ask Luo Chenfeng for the antidote. Didn't Luo Chenfeng just say that I can come to him for any illness, big or small? He should be able to cure this poison, right?"

Ruan Mozhu thought uncertainly to herself, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with stars as she looked at Luo Chenfeng.

Her already beautiful face was flushed with excitement, which made Ruan Mozhu unconsciously reveal a different kind of charm.

For a moment, Luo Chenfeng was stunned.

However, since she still knew what she needed to do, she quickly composed herself and smiled, asking, "Does Your Highness need my help with something?"

“Yes, yes.” Ruan Mozhu was delighted that Luo Chenfeng was so understanding and nodded hurriedly.

"Well then, Your Highness, please tell me. If it's something I can do, I certainly won't refuse."

I'm waiting for you to say this.

"It's like this, I've been poisoned, and I hope you can take a look and help me detoxify." As she spoke, Ruan Mozhu's eyes remained fixed on Luo Chenfeng without moving an inch.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have blushed and turned away long ago if Ruan Mozhu stared at them like that.

But he acted as if nothing had happened.

“Of course that’s possible,” Luo Chenfeng replied with a smile, but a glint of light flashed in his eyes where Ruan Mozhu couldn’t see.

However, Ruan Mozhu was unaware of this.

He placed his hand on the stone table, allowing Luo Chenfeng to take his pulse.

Then, Ruan Mozhu watched as Luo Chenfeng sometimes frowned and sometimes shook his head. If it weren't for her strong heart telling her to stay calm, she probably would have had a heart attack from being scared by Luo Chenfeng.

Finally, she watched as Luo Chenfeng got up from the stone bench, turned around, and went into the room.

Ruan Mozhu looked at his back with a puzzled expression and withdrew her hand.

Before long, Luo Chenfeng took out a small porcelain bottle.

The porcelain bottle was covered with red silk. Ruan Mozhu took it and looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was. She looked up at Luo Chenfeng and saw him smile and say, "This is the antidote to the poison in your body."

After he finished speaking, he paused, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"By the way, you can only take this antidote after you get back at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM). Remember that, otherwise it won't be effective."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mozhu stared at him for a long while, then looked up at the sky.

It's still early. If I can only take it at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), then think about it—that's 7-9 PM according to modern calculations, which is usually when people are sleeping. So, that makes sense. I can take the medicine, go to sleep, and leave as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning.

As if she could already see the wonderful life she would have after escaping the palace, Ruan Mozhu couldn't help but show a longing expression.

"Alright, I'll be going now." Overjoyed at receiving the antidote, Ruan Mozhu prepared to return and wait for the time to come.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to say, "You absolutely must not tell Wei Jingnan," and then she and Su'er disappeared without a trace.

"Really," Luo Chenfeng shook his head slowly as he watched Ruan Mozhu's departing figure. "Well, brother, I've really done you a big favor this time." He muttered to himself, flicked off non-existent dust from his clothes, and swayed as he walked into the room.
