The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Then she had no chance of winning at all. After all, she had no one to rely on. What was she supposed to do? Ruan Mozhu thought about this, and her mood worsened. So she said to Xue'er, "I think the Crown Princess will definitely try to deal with us. But you still need to monitor them. That Grand Commander is the Crown Princess's man. If something like yesterday happens again, then it'll probably be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!" Xue'er and Su'er were naturally surprised by Ruan Mozhu's words. They hadn't expected Ruan Mozhu to be so clear about the situation. Ruan Mozhu's mood became heavy, and the more she thought about it, the worse she felt. She decided to go for a walk. The air outside was nice, and the scenery was quite beautiful, so she decided to go out with Su'er. Originally, she wanted to go out alone, but thinking back to when she participated in the martial arts tournament, she had almost been in danger because she was alone. Now, wherever she went, she needed to bring someone with her. This put her mind at ease, so Ruan Mozhu followed them out. It was a large courtyard, and the Crown Princess's room was right across from it. Without even bothering to greet her, she walked straight out of the courtyard. She then realized that it truly was a hidden gem—a temple. In fact, it was a temple after all. Many monks were outside, some picking at their food, others fetching water and cleaning; it was quite lively. Ruan Mozhu knew that loud noises were forbidden inside temples, so she spoke quietly. Seeing her, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess Qi." They didn't know much about etiquette, so they simply shrugged, which was enough for Ruan Mozhu. She waved for them to leave and prepared to exit the temple. Upon exiting, she discovered a mountain opposite, something she hadn't expected. It turned out the temple was situated at the foot of a mountain, and Ruan Mozhu, of course, enjoyed hiking. Because she found the activity very fun, she slowly crawled along the path, with Su'er following behind. Su'er said to Princess Ruan Mozhu, "Let me go first; there are too many thorns along the way." Ruan Mozhu shook her head and smiled, saying, "If even the thorns on the path are borne by others, then wouldn't life be meaningless?" Ruan Mozhu believed that everything she was experiencing was valuable, and she hoped to deeply appreciate it so that she could better reflect on all that she had endured in her youth. Su'er was naturally surprised. She hadn't expected the princess to have such a broad mind, and her words truly resonated with her. Life needs hardships, and one must strive for them; otherwise, life would be meaningless. People like the Crown Prince, born with everything, are never satisfied. They always try to harm others, believing that this is how they secure their position and prevent others from taking it away. What he didn't know was that his actions had actually damaged its very foundation. Su'er, thinking of the Crown Prince, naturally sighed and shook her head. The Crown Prince was harming her own prince like this; if she had the chance to see him, she would definitely give him a good beating. Ruan Mozhu, of course, was unaware of Su'er's thoughts. If she did, she would be greatly surprised. The two of them slowly climbed the mountain. Because the sun was out, Ruan Mozhu found climbing very enjoyable. When she reached the summit, she found it truly magnificent. The entire temple complex resembled the Chinese character for "field," truly beautiful and well-arranged. Her room was precisely in the middle of this character—this was the principle of honoring a distinguished guest. Ruan Mozhu turned to Su'er and said, "You don't know, do you? There's a mountain opposite our capital, and on it grows a peach tree. The Prince and I have been there. Because of me, he planted many peach trees there, and he succeeded. When the peach blossoms bloom, I will sing a song from my hometown for the Prince. I want him to know that I not only love him, but I also want to be with him forever." Su'er was puzzled. She calmly said to Ruan Mozhu, "Your Highness, I know you're not an ordinary person. I want to know your background, but you... yes, I just don't want to ask. After all, Su'er doesn't want to force me to tell you everything about your background." Ruan Mozhu smiled at this moment. "Actually, this isn't really a secret. Let me tell you, I'm from a thousand years in the future. My ideas and business methods are all things I learned from my world. Almost everyone knows these methods, so in our world, I'm just an ordinary person." "But perhaps you haven't seen me, so you see me as a peculiar person. Because I'm truly amazing, Su'er, you don't think I'm a bad person, do you?" At this moment, Ruan Mozhu looked at Su'er and noticed her face had suddenly turned pale. Su'er simply couldn't believe Ruan Mozhu's words—what did she mean by "a person from a thousand years in the future"? This was truly unbelievable. She quickly said, "Your Highness, are you dreaming?" Ruan Mozhu smiled and shook her head, "Su'er, when have you ever seen me make a fool of myself?" Su'er replied with even more disbelief, "Your Highness, you can't scare me!" Ruan Mozhu simply turned around and continued walking, because she felt there was no point in explaining. First, whether she believed it or not, she was a living, breathing person standing there. So Ruan Mozhu left. Su'er followed behind her, her mind racing. She found it utterly unbelievable—what did it mean to be someone from a thousand years in the future? Ruan Mozhu knew, of course, that telling her now would be futile; Su'er wouldn't believe her anyway. But what could she do? Su'er had asked her to tell her, so she had. She hadn't expected Su'er to disbelieve her. Oh well, she couldn't be bothered to explain. Ruan Mozhu walked ahead, with Su'er following behind. She noticed Su'er was completely uneasy; she wanted to get closer but dared not. Ruan Mozhu stopped and said, "What, are you afraid of me? We've lived together for so long, are you still afraid?" She didn't think Su'er was the kind of person who would be afraid of her, so a single sentence stumped Su'er. "Your Highness, Su'er was confused just now. I thought you were a bad person, so naturally I was afraid of you. Therefore, Your Highness, please don't believe me or get angry."
