The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Chapter 398: The Prince Comes to the Rescue

No matter what, she was no match for him. Finally, Ruan Mozhu was subdued by the Crown Prince. However, kneeling on the ground, she smiled, "Crown Prince, you've gone too far. If we ever catch you in the act, you won't escape." Ruan Mozhu's words amused the Crown Prince. "This time, it's you who are doomed, not me. So, you should be worrying about yourselves." He was right; Ruan Mozhu should indeed be concerned about her situation. "Your Highness, I'm here." Ruan Mozhu knew the Crown Prince's hand was about to fall, and she resigned herself to her fate. How could she accept it? She felt a deep unease, but what could she do? In the end, she had lost to the Crown Prince. But for some reason, an arrow struck the Crown Prince's hand. The Prince quickly smiled and said, "If you want to harm my woman, you should ask me first." Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ruan Mozhu excitedly turned around. It was indeed the Prince; he was back, he had really returned. Tears welled in Ruan Mozhu's eyes. How could the Crown Prince let such a golden opportunity slip by? His other hand was about to strike, showing how much he truly hated Ruan Mozhu. But it was the Prince who saved Ruan Mozhu in an instant. Looking at the terrifying scene, Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, "Thank goodness for the Prince; otherwise, I would surely be dead." Indeed, no matter what danger she faced, the Prince always came to her rescue. Therefore, in this world, one must choose a good man before marrying, because one should marry someone who knows how to protect them, not someone who watches them put themselves in danger. Ruan Mozhu felt incredibly happy, but the Crown Prince was unwilling. He roared, "Why are you back again? Didn't I throw you into the snake pit?" His words made Ruan Mozhu sway. Yes, hadn't the Prince been thrown into the snake pit? Now, Ruan Mozhu felt itchy all over, as if many snakes were biting her. Ruan Mozhu was terrified of snakes, so she felt hesitant to approach the Prince. Seeing Ruan Mozhu's state, the Prince understood her thoughts and smiled, "Don't worry, the snake pit didn't kill me." His words pained Ruan Mozhu. Indeed, the Prince was like that; no matter what, he was incredibly powerful, and no one could eliminate him. But this was for the best. If he were gone, she would be all alone in this world. "Your Highness, you've worked hard." These were the words Ruan Mozhu uttered from the bottom of her heart, but to her surprise, the prince chuckled. He then said, "You feel sorry for me too? But promise me, after this matter is over, we'll return to our country, and we'll live our own lives." Ruan Mozhu smiled; it was a genuine smile from her heart. How could she possibly betray the prince who had treated her so well? "Alright, this is your promise to me. No matter what, after this matter is over, you must leave with me." The two of them, even in this smoke-filled place, were expressing their tender feelings. Ruan Mozhu smiled inwardly, but she hadn't expected that the crown prince behind her wouldn't give up either. He was about to strike with his palm when Ruan Mozhu quickly cried out, "Heart!" and tried to block the blow for the prince. But the prince turned away, and even after turning, he smiled at Ruan Mozhu. "This has nothing to do with you. Why are you shielding me? As a woman, you should be nestled in your man's arms." The prince's words touched Ruan Mozhu deeply. Why was he being so kind to her? He owed her nothing. "Your Highness, you should be the one with your heart," Ruan Mozhu said, clearly worried about the prince. Unexpectedly, the prince only smiled more. Seeing Ruan Mozhu's worried expression, he poked her head with his finger and said, "When have I ever lost to your man?" His words made Ruan Mozhu smile. Yes, he had never lost, so she should trust him. Ruan Mozhu then left. She now understood that everything she did needed to be carefully considered in his eyes. Seeing that Ruan Mozhu and the prince were still so affectionate, the Crown Prince continued to roar, "You two are still going this far! But I believe I will definitely take you down in one fell swoop!" The Crown Prince was still unwilling to give up, but Ruan Mozhu felt particularly sorry for him. Yes, he was still the Crown Prince, and he had allowed the prince to gain the Emperor's favor, yet he acted like a fool. He hadn't lost his position as Crown Prince, so why was he treating the prince like this? Confused, Ruan Mozhu quickly asked, "Your Highness, why are you treating us like this? The position of Crown Prince is rightfully yours. What use is this treatment of the Prince?" Ruan Mozhu's face was filled with hatred, for the Crown Prince had truly gone too far. The Crown Prince simply smiled, then looked at Ruan Mozhu and the Prince, saying, "It's him. Because he stole the Emperor's favor, I must eliminate him no matter what, to prevent future troubles." Ruan Mozhu shook her head in disbelief. This Crown Prince was practically possessed; he wanted to kill her Prince to eliminate any future threat. Ruan Mozhu looked up, then at the prince, wanting to ask for his opinion. The prince lowered his head and said to Ruan Mozhu, "Let him do what he wants, but you should know that he can't do anything to me." Hearing the prince's words, Ruan Mozhu naturally felt relieved. As long as the prince wasn't harmed, that was enough. She was very worried about the prince. Because in this world, he was the only man, and he needed to exist properly. Otherwise, if she lost him, she would rely on him for survival, and she would be lonely for the rest of her life. The crown prince actually laughed, "You're so confident, but I must tell you, in this world, I am your nemesis. So, no matter what, you will die by my hand. Today, I will send both of you to the Yellow Springs."
