The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

"Su'er, tell me the details of what happened."

Sitting opposite Ruan Mozhu, Wei Jingnan spoke to Su'er, but his gaze was fixed on Ruan Mozhu.

"Yes," Su'er replied softly, and then recounted the story of Ruan Mozhu and Ming Jing, carefully choosing her words.

However, Wei Jingnan didn't look at Su'er once throughout the entire conversation, and it's unclear whether he actually listened to her or not.

The pavilion faces west, and after noon the sun has already begun to set in the west. The scattered sunlight shines on Ruan Mozhu, making her delicate and pretty face look as if it were plated with a layer of golden light, making her extremely beautiful.

"That's all," Wei Jingnan finally looked up at Su'er after she finished speaking, and then glanced at Ming Jing, who was standing straight to the side, and asked.

"Yes."

“Logically speaking, it is a serious crime for a servant to disrespect his master. However, I know what Mingjing is thinking, so let’s see what the princess says. If the princess does not pursue this matter, then Mingjing will naturally not be punished. But if the princess is angry, then even though Mingjing is my guard, he will still not escape the punishment he deserves.”

As Wei Jingnan spoke, he glanced at Ruan Mozhu.

He handed the initiative over to Ruan Mozhu, hoping that she would stop being angry. However, he didn't realize that this would only make her angrier.

At this moment, Ruan Mozhu was filled with extreme sorrow. Although she was a princess, to put it bluntly, she was nothing more than a pawn in Wei Jingnan's hands. To put it bluntly, every word he had just uttered was a reminder that Ming Jing was his subordinate. It was a warning to her: "Ming Jing is my person. Whatever he does to you is my person. Without my permission, even if you are my nominal princess, you cannot be touched."

Regardless of what Wei Jingnan was thinking, Ruan Mozhu had misunderstood.

Turning her head, she stared at Wei Jingnan for a long while, then smiled bitterly to herself before saying, "No need. Let's just let this matter go. Since Ming Jing is someone close to you, then try not to appear in front of me in the future. I don't want to see him, but I don't want to see you either." After saying this, Ruan Mozhu stood up, walked past Wei Jingnan, and headed straight for the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Wei Jingnan was still a little confused and didn't realize what Ruan Mozhu meant by those words.

Turning her gaze, she saw Su'er looking at her with a troubled expression, and then glaring fiercely at Ming Jing.

Then, without even saying goodbye, he left.

Wei Jingnan was taken aback. His gaze followed Su'er until the two figures disappeared from sight. Then he turned his gaze back to Ming Jing and the other two guards: "What did I just say? Why is the Princess so angry?"

Upon hearing this, the two guards twitched their lips but did not reply, while Ming Jing remained expressionless.

If Ruan Mozhu could understand the implied meaning in those words, how could he not? Although his face was cold, his eyes were full of smiles as he knelt down on one knee before Wei Jingnan: "Your subordinate thanks Your Highness for your mercy in not punishing me."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jingnan paused slightly. "No punishment?" He was somewhat puzzled. Shouldn't these words be said to Ruan Mozhu? Why were they being said to him?

He thought about it and then told them what had happened. To his surprise, all three people present looked at him in shock: "Wasn't Your Highness just threatening the Princess Consort, telling her not to punish her subordinates?"

"Boom." A thunderous sound flashed through his mind, and Wei Jingnan instantly understood what Ruan Mozhu meant.

But Ming Jing kept talking: "Your words just now implied that the Princess Consort is not even as good as her subordinates." However, before she could finish speaking, Wei Jingnan interrupted her.

"Alright, that's enough. Just forget what you said earlier. When the Princess returns, Mingjing will apologize properly and try to get a small punishment from her."

After saying that, he actually got up and was about to leave.

Ming Jing stood there, slightly stunned, somewhat confused by Wei Jingnan's meaning.

Just now he was thinking: As expected, Princess Ruan Mozhu has no place in the prince's heart, not even as important as himself. It seems she won't interfere with the prince's plans. However, as soon as the prince said those words, he suddenly understood what the prince meant.

Just now, it must have been that the prince accidentally misspoke, or that I didn't understand the meaning of his words.

After thinking it over, the answer that came to his mind surprised him. He then looked up and saw that the prince had already walked back towards Nanmo Pavilion.

After leaving the Prince's mansion, Ruan Mozhu headed towards the brothel, her anger seemingly burning in her chest.

Although she always knew that she would always be just a pawn in Wei Jingnan's heart, and that once Wei Jingnan got what she wanted, she would be of no use anymore.

However, to everyone's surprise, Wei Jingnan would actually make this point clear in front of his own subordinates for the sake of a guard.

Even though she knew she was merely a princess, saying those words in front of the guards was still somewhat embarrassing for her. She wasn't made of iron and had no heart; she wouldn't be hurt by such words.

In that instant, she almost couldn't help but question Wei Jingnan.

Fortunately, her last shred of reason made her realize that this was ancient times, not the rule-of-law society she used to live in. Even if she spoke up, it would be useless. Wei Jingnan might even change the choice of the princess because of her unruly behavior.

So, suppressing her anger, resentment, and slight disappointment, she said those words and then ran away.

Now, she seems to have something more important to do: find a job to support herself. If the brothel can become her source of income in the future, then she will be fine even if she leaves the Prince Qi's mansion. At least she won't have to worry about where her next meal will come from.

Wei Jingnan certainly didn't know what Ruan Mozhu was thinking. If he did, he would probably regret saying those words without thinking. What he really wanted to express was: even though Ming Jing is my guard, as the princess, you also have the right to punish her.

But it turned out to be this: Even if you are a princess, that's just a title; as my guard, you have no right to punish him.

"Your Highness," Su'er called softly, catching up with Ruan Mozhu.

"Alright, Su'er, you must have heard what the prince said just now. From now on, you don't need to call me Princess Consort anymore. Just call me by my name."

She looked up slightly at the azure sky and said.

Before she could finish speaking, Su'er interrupted her: "Your Highness, how can this be? No matter what the Prince just said, you are a princess listed in the royal family genealogy, that is beyond doubt. Besides, perhaps the Prince just misspoke."

It has to be said that Su'er was right, but Ruan Mozhu would never believe that Ruan Mozhu's words just now were a slip of the tongue.

Hearing Su'er speaking behind her, she suddenly turned around and said, "If you've decided to go back to the palace calling me 'Princess Consort,' a name that hurts me, then keep calling me that. If you don't call me 'Princess Consort,' then you can continue to come with me." She said it decisively and turned to leave.

Su'er was slightly taken aback by Ruan Mozhu's words, and her delicate face scrunched up in a frown.

Calling someone "Princess" instead of "Princess" is acceptable outside, but how can one not address them as "Princess" back at the Prince's residence? What would happen if the Prince heard this, even though he had said those things...

Su'er was very conflicted. Suddenly, she remembered what her princess had said earlier, and finally made up her mind. Looking at the princess's back in front of her, she quickly chased after her.

"Miss," Su'er called from behind. When Ruan Mozhu heard this, although it didn't meet her requirement of being called by her name directly, it was already quite good. She didn't expect that this respectful maid would actually be able to endure her master's orders and choose her.

This brought Ruan Mozhu some comfort.

He stopped, turned around, and smiled at Su'er: "Good Su'er, come with me to do something big."

Su'er didn't understand the word "career," but she knew that the princess was in a very good mood, so she was happy to cooperate.

The two of them were in a better mood, but Wei Jingnan was having a terrible headache in his study.

Why did he say something like that today? Wei Jingnan simply didn't know what to say about himself.

Suddenly, a man dressed in black appeared in the room and bowed respectfully to Wei Jingnan. "Your Highness," he said.

Wei Jingnan looked up upon hearing the voice and immediately recognized the person as the one who was with Ruan Mozhu.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to the Princess?" Thinking of Ruan Mozhu's angry departure earlier today, he couldn't help but feel worried.

However, the man in black glanced at Wei Jingnan, unsure of what to say. His face was slightly contorted as his mask was removed. Wei Jingnan's heart skipped a beat, fearing something had happened to Ruan Mozhu again.

"Say it then," he said, his expression slightly angry.

"This..." the man in black said, expressing his own helplessness. He worried that if he spoke out about what the princess had said today, the prince might kill him, given the things the princess had said.

Seeing that the prince was becoming increasingly impatient, the man in black dared not think of anything else and immediately said, "Today, the princess and Miss Su'er went to a brothel together. On their way, the princess told Miss Su'er not to call her 'princess' anymore, saying that it would make her very sad."

As secret guards with internal strength, they could naturally hear the two talking, which wasn't exactly quiet. Upon hearing this, the brothers were all stunned. Now, not only were they speechless, but Wei Jingnan was also dumbfounded. The man in black just wanted the prince to let him leave as soon as possible.

"Is this really what the Princess Consort said?" Wei Jingnan asked, somewhat troubled.

He knew Ruan Mozhu was angry, but he didn't expect her to be so angry that she had even told Su'er not to call her Princess anymore.

"Sigh." Wei Jingnan sighed softly and waved his hand, signaling the man in black to leave: "Go and protect the princess well. You must not let anything happen to her."

"Yes."

After this incident, he was genuinely worried that Ruan Mozhu would get angry and leave without even wanting the so-called antidote.
