The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Moreover, if she were to do something, it would definitely be a major incident. Therefore, no matter what, she still had to be wary of her. If the Crown Princess knew that the Crown Prince actually thought of her this way, she would probably be heartbroken. She never imagined that the Crown Prince would be wary of her. There's a saying, "You can guard against a thief within your own household day and night, but it's hard to guard against one." So, the Crown Prince was now guarding against his own perceived thief. The servant was naturally surprised, because he never expected the Crown Prince to ask him to monitor the Crown Princess. Judging from the Crown Prince's expression and his words, it was clear that the Crown Prince didn't trust the Crown Princess. It was truly pitiful for the Crown Princess. After all, she had married the wrong person. When she married, the whole country celebrated, because the Crown Princess was the future Empress, a phoenix among women, naturally admired by all. But no one expected that the two of them would be so discordant, and it seemed impossible for them to be together in the future. The so-called separation means that if the Crown Prince becomes Emperor, the Crown Princess might not be able to retain her position as Empress, given the precarious state of their relationship. It seems unlikely they will rule together in the future. Outsiders may perceive them as a loving and harmonious couple, but they are unaware of the mutual suspicion and manipulation they harbor. In truth, the Crown Princess's persona is merely a facade; she is not the noble, beautiful, and generous figure portrayed by outsiders. She is simply temperamental and short-tempered, and naturally, everyone has grown accustomed to it. However, due to the Crown Princess's status, no one dares to venture out. Moreover, if the Crown Princess were to find out that someone was speaking ill of her, she would likely not let that person off the hook. After all, her position was what it was, and the servant was dumbfounded. At this moment, another maid asked him, "What's wrong? Did the Crown Prince say something?" This man naturally recognized the woman; she was the personal maidservant of the Crown Princess. So he smiled and said to her, "What the Crown Prince said... I naturally wouldn't dare to guess, so I'll take my leave now." In the Crown Prince's residence, maidservants naturally had ranks. The personal maidservant of the Crown Princess was naturally a first-class maidservant, so she had to be extremely respectful. How could he dare to reveal the Crown Prince's meaning? He politely declined the question, and the maidservant stamped her foot and left. Then she went to the Crown Princess's side and said, "That damned servant didn't tell the Crown Princess!" The Crown Princess felt a headache coming on again, so she rubbed her forehead and said, "The Crown Prince must have ordered this servant to keep a close eye on me. This person is always trying to please us. Are we going to fall out of favor? But I've really heard lately that the Crown Prince goes to brothels often. What should we do?" At this moment, the maid smiled and said, "Crown Princess, what are you worried about? After all, your status is what it is. No matter how beautiful and alluring the courtesans are, they can still..." "After all, her status is what it is, just a courtesan. What are you afraid of?" The Crown Princess hurriedly replied, "Yes, why should I be afraid? My status is right here. I am the noble Crown Princess, and they all have to treat me with utmost respect." "I am the mistress of this mansion, and no one can drive me away." Her demeanor made her seem somewhat unreasonable. After all, the position of mistress was to be decided by the Crown Prince. Once she was old and faded, she would naturally lose her charm. At that time, the Crown Prince would not even bother to look at her. Finally, it got dark, and Ruan Mozhu and the Prince went for a walk. They had rested enough, but they couldn't sleep at night. In fact, the Prince had been very tolerant of them all this time. Thinking about it, Ruan Mozhu felt incredibly happy. She hugged the prince's slender waist, looked at him, and said, "You're the best. You can never leave me. Tell me why you fell in love with me." Ruan Mozhu really wanted to know the answer; otherwise, she wouldn't feel at ease without one. The prince pinched her nose and said, "Silly girl, I love you the most. How could I leave you? Home is where you are." Ruan Mozhu felt helpless, because she sensed the prince was becoming somewhat dependent on her. What was going on? Ruan Mozhu wondered if the prince had come to see her as family and thus become dependent on her. She remembered those idol dramas where the female lead was good to the male lead, and then the male lead would treat the female lead as family, and then they would get together. The male lead treated the female lead like a mother. Ruan Mozhu felt helpless. Turning to face the prince, she said, "Your Highness, I've heard that the highest level of love is for you to treat me like your child, and for me to treat you like my father. Only then will the feeling gradually evolve into familial affection. I like that." Ruan Mozhu was naturally bored, so she blurted out these words. The prince, naturally exasperated, said, "Alright, alright, I'll treat you like my child. So, Mozhu, where do you want to go? Daddy will accompany you." The prince looked at her with doting eyes. Ruan Mozhu was naturally happy because she felt that no matter what, she still needed a man to love and cherish her. Only then would life be perfect. Before, she had always been too independent, and in modern times, she had been too dependent—both were too much, and naturally, neither was right. Now, everything was correct, and she was even happy inside. So she hugged the prince tightly and said to him, "Your Highness, I want everything from you, you know? I used to be too dependent, which was always wrong. Eventually, everyone felt it was too tiring. Now, sometimes I feel so lonely. I need someone to be with me. I don't want you to leave me anytime. I want you to know that I'm your family, and you must treat me well and never leave me." Ruan Mozhu felt insecure and needed a guarantee. The prince smiled, "You silly girl, you look so sharp on the outside, but inside you're so fragile. Don't worry, I won't leave you. I'll take responsibility for everything between us." The prince's words made Ruan Mozhu happy.
