The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

But even so, what does it matter?

The people around were still talking, but Ruan Mozhu was getting impatient. Looking at the maid and the Princess Jin, she frowned in annoyance and said, "Alright, Su'er, let's go."

“Oh, but, Miss…” Su’er was a little surprised. She thought Ruan Mozhu would deal with the matter of Princess Jin first, but she didn’t expect her to ignore it now.

As if knowing what Su'er was thinking, Ruan Mozhu turned around and smiled gently at Su'er: "Hey, my dear Su'er, don't think about it. Although Princess Jin is a good person, don't forget what her mother just told me."

As he spoke, he ignored what Su'er was thinking and started to walk past the maids.

However, how could those maids let Ruan Mozhu leave so easily? They immediately stood up and blocked Ruan Mozhu's way: "Hurry up and return our mistress to us! Let me tell you, no matter which family's young lady you are, if you don't release our mistress, you will definitely receive the punishment you deserve!" As the maid spoke, she gritted her teeth, her face full of hatred, as if Ji Yunshang had killed her family.

This made Ruan Mozhu both angry and amused.

Are you crazy?

Ruan Mozhu never minced words when dealing with those who spoke rudely to her; she would immediately retaliate with a sharp tongue.

However, the maid clearly hadn't realized what was happening yet, and looked at Ruan Mozhu with a puzzled expression.

This made Ruan Mozhu burst out laughing.

The maidservant was embarrassed and looked at Ruan Mozhu, whose cheeks were slightly flushed: "Hey, why did you say I'm crazy?"

If she couldn't figure it out herself, she would definitely humbly ask for help, but this made Ruan Mozhu laugh so hard her stomach hurt.

She suppressed a laugh and looked at the maid: "Do you really want to know?" she asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the maid nodded fiercely: "Speak quickly, and release my mistress immediately after you finish speaking." She was indeed a loyal maid, still remembering her mistress at this moment. However, Ruan Mozhu would not let this have any good effect on her, and immediately laughed even harder.

"Because you bite everyone you see. Haven't you heard that only madmen bite everyone they see?"

Ruan Mozhu said with a smile.

Instantly, the maid was speechless with anger. "You scoundrel!" she uttered. Ruan Mozhu's face immediately darkened, and even Su'er shook the software in her hand, staring at the maid as if she wanted to throw it at her.

"Didn't your master teach you not to curse people?" Ruan Mozhu said to the maid with a gloomy look in her eyes. Before anyone could react, she stepped forward and slapped the maid across the face.

The loud slap made even bystanders feel the pain.

Let alone the maid who was directly involved.

After being hit, she was still a little dazed. She turned her head, which had been knocked to the side, and looked at Ruan Mozhu's incredulous expression.

"Do you even know who my master is?" the maid said bitterly.

As Princess Jin's maid, everyone in the palace fawned over her and said flattering things to her. This was the first time someone like Ruan Mozhu had ever slapped her like that.

Therefore, he immediately came to hate Ruan Mozhu.

"What, your master? I know her. Isn't she Princess Jin's mother, a courtesan, or rather, a courtesan who hasn't been taken advantage of by the Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the maid was startled.

It seems surprising that Ji Yunshang knew about this matter; only a few people in the royal family knew about it.

After all, when Princess Jin gained power at the age of six, she brought her master to the palace.

However, the Emperor never granted the mistress a formal title. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the mistress, being the daughter of a concubine, must have a certain rank, though only the concubines in the harem and a few princes and princesses knew about this. Who exactly was this woman, and why did she know this?

For a moment, the maid dared not move before she knew Ruan Mozhu's identity, but that did not mean that Ruan Mozhu would continue to be at odds with her.

She immediately rolled her eyes at her: "Su'er, let's go. I don't talk to madmen."

Upon hearing this, the maid blushed, clearly angered: "You'd better hand over my mistress right now, or you'll be in big trouble! No matter how important your status is, you absolutely cannot escape punishment." The maid's thinking was simplistic. She believed that even if Ruan Mozhu was a member of the royal family, she could only be one of the princesses. And among the princesses, only her own princess was the most favored. Even if this matter were brought before the Emperor, her own princess would definitely be in the right, and the Emperor would certainly not punish her mistress.

The idea was good, but the truth was often cruel. Ruan Mozhu smiled and looked at Princess Jin, who was being held in the arms of two maids: "You have a good idea, but I'm telling you right here, even if you complain to the Emperor, this is still not my fault, and I will absolutely not be punished. Do you believe me?"

When Ruan Mozhu spoke, her face radiated confidence, making it hard for the maid not to believe her. She stared at Ruan Mozhu speechless for a long time.

She wanted to ask, to find out exactly who this person was, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.

Finally, Ruan Mozhu couldn't bear to look at her silly appearance any longer and said, "Speaking of which, I am from the same family as your princess. If the prince were here, she would definitely call me sister-in-law. But today the prince is resting at the manor, so it's a pity that this princess won't be able to hear that title."

As Ruan Mozhu spoke, she moved away from the maid's ear.

She whispered those words in the maid's ear, so the others couldn't hear what they were saying. They just watched as Ruan Mozhu said something, and then the once arrogant maid turned pale, then green, and her gaze towards Ruan Mozhu became fearful.

Just now, although Ruan Mozhu did not say Wei Jingnan's name and title, the maid still guessed it from her words.

After all, at this time, which prince isn't working in his position? Only Prince Qi, who recently got married, is still recuperating in his residence.

And the woman in front of me is probably Princess Consort Qi, the princess consort who was highly praised by the emperor, and the princess consort who helped Prince Qi recover.

The Emperor doted on his wife so much that whenever the ladies in the palace talked about her, they were all filled with envy. After all, the Emperor doted on his wife just as much as he doted on his son.

Let alone their princess, even the Crown Princess probably wouldn't be as favored by the Emperor as this Princess Qi.

This realization filled the maid with fear.

He dared not say anything more, and immediately called to the maid on the ground, and carried Princess Jin away from there.

It seems we can't get Princess Qi back now. The only option is to go back and beg the Emperor to release her, considering that she is the princess's mother.

"Tsk tsk, really, they're leaving already and I haven't had enough fun yet."

Ruan Mozhu clapped her hands, somewhat bored, and watched the maid carry Princess Jin away. She then pressed her advantage and said...

That sight was truly heartbreaking.

"Your Highness, what did you say to that maid just now? Why did she leave looking so frightened?"

Just now, Ruan Mozhu was speaking to the maid. Because she was a maid, she was not allowed to use her internal energy to eavesdrop on her mistress's conversation, so Su'er did not use her internal energy. Now she was curious and could only ask Ruan Mozhu.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mozhu chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I just told her that I'm the Princess Consort of Qi, and that scared her. I didn't expect the title of Princess Consort of Qi to be so useful."

As Ruan Mozhu spoke, she stepped out from the crowd of onlookers.

Since the mother of Princess Jin has disappeared, it must have been done by someone arranged by Wei Jingnan. Since he has already taken over that woman, he might as well take over the questioning from the Emperor as well. As for how Wei Jingnan will handle it, that is none of his business.

Having resolved the matter and also tricked Wei Jingnan, Ruan Mozhu was in an excellent mood. She swayed unsteadily and walked away without any semblance of a princess.

However, when Su'er heard Ruan Mozhu say that she had used the name of the Princess Consort of Qi to scare away the maid, she was already at a loss for words. She glanced into the shadows, hoping that when the prince heard this, he wouldn't be angry with the Princess Consort.

Thinking this, Lan Mang caught up with Ruan Mozhu ahead: "Miss Wang, where should we go to find a timber yard now?"

Following behind Ruan Mozhu, Su'er asked.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mozhu paused.

She didn't know where to find this either. Even Su'er, a person from the capital, didn't know. How could she, a pseudo-ancient person, possibly know?

He immediately shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

Su'er sighed softly; she knew it would turn out this way. It really was...

Just as he was about to speak, someone stepped forward and said, "Are you looking for timber?"

“Yes.” Ruan Mozhu raised her eyebrows and answered before Su’er could.

"Go straight ahead from here, and there's a street full of timber shops. You two young ladies can go and take a look." The old woman who spoke had a kind face. Perhaps she had seen what had just happened and thought that Ruan Mozhu and her companion were probably from a wealthy family, so she kindly came out to give directions, her face full of flattery.

"Oh, I see. No wonder we've been searching for so long without finding anywhere to sell timber. Thank you, ma'am."

Ruan Mozhu thanked the old lady and then quickly led Su'er toward that street.

I've been walking for so long, it's so hot, especially wearing such thick clothes. Plus, the incident with Princess Jin just now took up so much time. All I want to do now is go back, take a shower, and drink some ice water.

"Hey, Your Highness, slow down." Su'er didn't know why Ruan Mozhu was in such a hurry, and seeing that she was almost running, she quickly called out.

However, Ruan Mozhu, walking ahead, glanced at Su'er, who looked completely refreshed and not sweating at all, and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Alright, Su'er, hurry up, I feel so uncomfortable, I'm so hot and covered in sweat."

Upon hearing this, Su'er stuck out her tongue and quickly followed.
