The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Ruan Mozhu couldn't help but feel more favorably toward this man. All this time, she was still grateful to him; otherwise, she didn't know how much suffering she would have endured in this ancient world.

Wei Jingnan watched as she suddenly fell silent and stared blankly at him, and for some reason, he felt awkward. What was this woman thinking? Being so quiet was really not her usual style.

"Wei Jingnan, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, you're the one who gave me a place in this unfamiliar world. I, Ruan Mozhu, will never forget your kindness. I can't let the Crown Prince win me over. Smile more." Ruan Mozhu pulled Wei Jingnan's lips up. Even though Wei Jingnan's smile was unnatural, he was still so handsome. Ruan Mozhu couldn't help but think to herself, "Am I going to spend my whole life with him? Even though he's handsome and rich, I just have this feeling of resentment in my heart."

"Ruan Mozhu, you know it's good that you know my situation. The Crown Prince is eyeing me covetously, dreaming of eliminating me or even wiping me out in one fell swoop. I have to be careful. How could you know the pain of the royal family? I do admire your yearning for freedom and your carefree spirit, but unfortunately, you've fallen into my hands. You'll never escape in this lifetime." He gripped her shoulders and gazed at her, his phoenix eyes gleaming with a captivating light. Ruan Mozhu stared at him blankly, feeling that this man wasn't so bad after all. He was just a child who had to constantly guard against others harming him. That's right, as a member of the royal family, he had to be extra cautious. One wrong step could lead to another. Even his own brothers had to be wary of him, lurking in the shadows, watching him with predatory eyes. He was a pitiful child after all.

"I know the Crown Prince isn't a good person, so of course I don't believe him. You should mind your own business. Don't interfere in my affairs. I'm all grown up now, not a child anymore. I don't need your advice. I want my freedom no matter what, and you can't stop me." Ruan Mozhu looked at him with unwavering determination in her eyes. She had finally managed to make money and was ready to make a name for herself in this strange world, but he was confining her. How disappointing.

"Very well. Do whatever you want, I won't stop you. But if you accidentally hurt or cripple yourself, you'll never have freedom again. Someone, apply medicine to the princess." Wei Jingnan turned and left. Ruan Mozhu turned around and looked at his back, but her smile was weak. At least she had her freedom.

Because of her injuries, Ruan Mozhu couldn't go out even after gaining her freedom, as she needed to recuperate. However, Su'er always brought her the money earned from the restaurant, which made Ruan Mozhu very happy. She had money, but she was afraid she lacked power. After all, she was a modern person and had seen all kinds of palace intrigues. She needed to have power, an intelligence network, and an organization so that even if she left Wei Jingnan in the future, she could at least protect herself.

Her neck had improved a lot in the past few days, and the scars were no longer visible. The medicine in the Prince's mansion was truly miraculous, and Ruan Mozhu felt very happy.

"Su'er, go and bring me some more grapes." Ruan Mozhu's life as a princess is quite good; she has food, drink, and maids to serve her. She is very lucky.

"Your Highness, you've been much quieter lately, and the Prince has had fewer worries. They're getting along well now. That's how a husband and wife should get along; that's how they can live a peaceful and stable life, isn't it, Your Highness?" Su'er brought over a lot of fresh and delicious grapes in a porcelain dish, and Ruan Mozhu smiled meaningfully.

She picked up a grape with her slender fingers, a smile on her face, but the next second she smashed it to pieces on the ground. This sudden contrast stunned all the maids present, and they all knelt down with a thud.

"Su'er doesn't know what she did to offend the Princess." Su'er knelt down nervously, wondering what the Princess was thinking.

"Why are you interfering in my affairs? Do you need to lecture me? Just because I get along well with you usually doesn't mean you can discuss the way my wife and I get along like this. I understand everything. You may leave. I don't need you to serve me for the next three days." Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, Su'er is Wei Jingnan's spy. I must not let her know what important things I am planning.

"Please punish me, Your Highness, but I cannot leave you. The Prince has given me a death order. If I cannot serve Your Highness, I will have no choice but to die." Her tone was firm and resolute. Ruan Mozhu knew that she could not push her any further, so she could only sigh, pull her up, and look into her eyes.

"That's enough. Except for Su'er, all of you, get out." Ruan Mozhu said to the other maids in the room. These maids really served her very well, but unfortunately, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

"Su'er, I've already told you, I'm going to do some things. You can't tell the Prince that I'm going to develop my own power, so that this power will spread throughout our country like termites in a towering tree, impossible to uproot or get rid of."

After Ruan Mozhu told Su'er, Su'er was completely shocked. She never expected that the Princess Consort would have such a great idea. It was a pity that she, a woman, could do anything about it.

"Then Your Highness, you're not angry with Su'er?" Su'er was also pleasantly surprised.

"Fool, I just didn't want you to know. I was afraid you would tell Wei Jingnan. He is a prince after all, and I was afraid he would cause trouble if he found out, which could lead to unforeseen circumstances." Ruan Mozhu was also afraid that he wouldn't support her, and she was also afraid that he would secretly help her. She wanted to rely on herself and create her own future.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I won't tell the Prince. This is our little secret. The Prince has given me to you, my Princess Consort, so I am yours now." Unexpectedly, Su'er would help Ruan Mozhu hide the truth from Wei Jingnan. Ruan Mozhu thought, this is good. Su'er is highly skilled in martial arts and would be a good helper. She wants to establish a gang, develop her power, and work harder to make money. Having a good helper is essential.

"Su'er, I'm sorry to trouble you." Wei Jingnan is her boss. She kept it a secret from Wei Jingnan for his sake. If Wei Jingnan finds out, she will surely be punished.

"Your Highness, it's alright. Whatever you need to do, Su'er will take care of you and protect you. As long as you recover peacefully, Su'er will take care of you and protect you."

"Su'er." Ruan Mozhu thought, this Su'er is so good to her, she will definitely become stronger, and then she will take Su'er with her.

"Su'er, help me gather information about the martial arts sects, as well as information about all the officials in the capital, big and small. I need to review the situation here."

I've heard that in ancient times, it was fashionable to become the leader of the martial arts alliance. If only I could have influence in the martial arts world and become the leader of the martial arts alliance, then I would truly have a place in the world.

"Alright, Su'er will present it in three days." Su'er was indeed loyal. Seeing that the sun was shining brightly outside, Ruan Mozhu got up, straightened her sleeves, tidied her appearance, and went out.

Su'er couldn't help but sigh from behind, "The princess is becoming more and more impressive."

Ruan Mozhu was bathed in sunlight, feeling incredibly refreshed. The air was wonderful, unlike modern times when crossing the street meant encountering dust and terrible air quality. Besides, there wasn't such a clear blue sky. With more chemical plants, air pollution had increased, leading to a decline in air quality. She felt that ancient times were much better.

Su'er thought that the princess looked very beautiful bathed in sunlight. For some reason, she felt that the princess was different from others. Her mind and ideas about making money and her actions were different from ordinary people.

“Su’er, do you believe that a thousand years from now, many things will have changed? There will be no distinction between princes and commoners. There will only be ordinary people, and everything will be equal. Animals will be protected, and women will no longer be considered inferior,” Ruan Mozhu said with her eyes closed.

"I don't know. How could we possibly know what will happen a thousand years from now? After all, life is fleeting, and we only have this one lifetime." Su'er answered fluently, which made Ruan Mozhu smile. What Su'er said made sense; life is fleeting, and we only have this one lifetime.

Seeing that the flowers in the yard were blooming beautifully, Ruan Mozhu also started to learn how to water flowers and cultivate her mind.

In the evening, Wei Jingnan came over. He was very calm and had dinner with Ruan Mozhu. Ruan Mozhu had learned proper dining etiquette from somewhere and looked just like a well-bred young lady. She didn't talk while eating, which made Wei Jingnan feel uncomfortable.

"My beloved concubine, why aren't you saying anything?" Wei Jingnan didn't know why he felt so uncomfortable. Sigh, what kind of poison has this woman poisoned me?

If she were to suddenly leave one day and I couldn't find her, I probably wouldn't even want to eat without her.

“Your Highness, one should not speak while eating or sleeping. You grew up in the palace, how come you don’t understand these rules?” Ruan Mozhu continued eating, giving Wei Jingnan a disapproving look. Wei Jingnan actually scratched his head sheepishly, wondering why Ruan Mozhu was trying to play the rules with him.

Is Ruan Mozhu alright? She looks like she's awkwardly trying not to back down, which is incredibly cute.

"Very well, my beloved concubine, I will keep you company in silence while eating and sleeping." He suddenly chuckled a few times. Ruan Mozhu did not know why he was chuckling at this moment. A moment later, she was on the verge of tears, realizing that she had dug a pit and jumped into it.

Ruan Mozhu was very disciplined. In fact, she didn't want to talk to Wei Jingnan. She felt there was nothing to say. She would leave when the time was up. Once she had power and money, they would part ways.

If Wei Jingnan knew what she was thinking right now, he would probably want to strangle this woman. What an ungrateful woman.

In fact, Ruan Mozhu had everything she could want—wealth and fame—but she was never satisfied. She always longed for the freedom she desired, which made her take Wei Jingnan's good qualities for granted.

Ruan Mozhu finally finished eating. After wiping her mouth with the handkerchief handed to her by the maid, she stood up, looked down at Wei Jingnan, and said smugly, "You ate too slowly. I'm going for a walk." Ruan Mozhu left triumphantly, leaving Wei Jingnan speechless.

"This woman!" Wei Jingnan angrily put down his chopsticks and followed.
