The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

The Crown Prince was indeed clever, but he didn't use his cleverness for good. Instead, he used it to scheme against his own brother. Wei Jingnan really felt that the game of vying for imperial power was too complicated, scheming, and dangerous, and that he, Wei Jingnan, was really not suited for it.

How could that little girl just leave like that? She should have taken him with her. That would have been so much better, so they could leave this bustling yet dangerous capital together. Actually, he had wanted to leave for a long time, but he had too many tasks and couldn't let go of his power, which is why he had been held back all this time.

Suddenly on the verge of danger, he suddenly realized that freedom was better and he didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Your Highness, why don't you show yourself? I can already guess it's you. Who else would go to such lengths to take my life?" He chuckled wickedly, his voice carrying both mockery and an aura of oppressive power. Sure enough, the Crown Prince slowly descended.

He was also very handsome. The two brothers faced off in the suburbs. Wei Jingnan's bodyguards immediately went into battle mode. Seeing that the other side had three or four times more people, their vigilance became even stronger.

"Prince Qi is truly clever. This makes me both fearful and resentful. Do you know how I live in constant anxiety? My heart is heavy with worry because your illness has improved, and because Father Emperor feels guilty towards the former Empress, he has poured all his affection onto you. Although I am the Crown Prince, I am not as good as you. No matter what I do, Father Emperor will not be satisfied, while he can listen to your affairs and even laugh. This makes me very unhappy, and my position is seriously threatened." The Crown Prince was confiding his feelings to Wei Jingnan. Indeed, in his heart, Wei Jingnan was almost dead. There was nothing he couldn't say.

So the Crown Prince began to speak with an emotional, affectionate, and sorrowful air, as if recalling something, saying, "You are always better than me in every way. You are prettier than me, Father treats you better than me, your military achievements are better than mine, your reputation is better than mine in everything. The princess originally intended for you was inexplicably replaced by that Ruan Mozhu. Well, you are becoming more and more unexpected. I must get rid of you."

The Crown Prince was truly angry. His handsome features turned to a state of sorrow as he spoke, becoming increasingly agitated and tearful, which moved everyone who heard it to sympathize with the pitiful Crown Prince.

Wei Jingnan sneered, "If you're going to make a move, then make a move. Why waste so much time talking? I've never been afraid of you." Wei Jingnan immediately launched an attack, closing in on Wei Jingye. Wei Jingye was shocked, as he wasn't prepared. He had to retreat repeatedly, dodging one attack before his guards arrived in time to rescue him. The guards and Wei Jingnan then engaged in a fierce battle. Because of their superior numbers, they were separated and attacked from all sides. Wei Jingnan's side, being outnumbered, was also scattered and attacked. This was all part of a tactical plan. It seemed Wei Jingye truly wanted him dead. "We are of the same blood, why such bitter fratricide?"

Wei Jingnan was surrounded and attacked by Wei Jingye and several of his bodyguards. As time went on, he gradually lost ground. His speed decreased, and in a moment of carelessness, Wei Jingye stabbed him in the arm. Wei Jingnan was forced to retreat, calling for his bodyguards. However, his bodyguards were all surrounded and, trying to help him, were all killed in a single blow. Only three bodyguards managed to break through the encirclement to protect Wei Jingnan; the rest had perished. Wei Jingnan was heartbroken and tried to escape using his light-footed skills, but Wei Jingye pursued relentlessly, determined not to let him return to the capital.

So Wei Jingye and his group pursued relentlessly, after all, this was a matter of life and death. If he returned to the capital, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain? What if Wei Jingnan needed the emperor's help? Wouldn't they be finished?

Wei Jingye was risking his life to chase after Wei Jingnan. Three guards stayed behind to hold him off, while Wei Jingnan left first, disappearing into the bushes without a trace.

Wei Jingnan found a small path and continued walking despite his injury. He noticed his arm was bleeding, so he quickly bandaged it as he ran. He then came to a cliff and had no choice but to jump off. He tumbled down the 40-degree slope and disappeared from sight. Wei Jingnan felt dizzy and, unable to do anything else, rolled all the way down.

Wei Jingye could only watch him roll down the slope, so he immediately sent people to chase after him. Wei Jingye himself took matters into his own hands, using his lightness skill to descend the slope, determined to catch Wei Jingnan and kill him. When Wei Jingnan saw Wei Jingye chasing after him, he rolled down the slope even faster. Finally, he fell, suspended in mid-air, and plunged into the lake.

Wei Jingye couldn't swim, so he could only hold his breath in the water and stretch his limbs with great difficulty. He thought he was definitely going to die this time, but he still swam desperately. Fortunately, he had seen Ruan Mozhu practicing swimming after he fell into the water. Unexpectedly, he was actually able to swim this time. Wei Jingye swam frantically and kept swimming, but he didn't expect to fall into the waterfall with the current.

Wei Jingnan was shocked and took a deep breath. He fell in and swam continuously until he lost consciousness. All he could think about was Ruan Mozhu's movements and swimming motions, which he kept repeating.

When Wei Jingnan woke up again, he found himself by a stream. Luckily, he was still alive. He had to get back to the capital so that he could catch Wei Jingye off guard. But no, Ruan Mozhu, he had to find her.

It's better not to go back. Let it be. Let everything be far away.

Ruan Mozhu discovered a hot spring in the cave, and also found a set of clothes on a rock next to the hot spring. It was men's clothing, warm to the touch, and made of the finest material.

"Is anyone there?" Ruan Mozhu asked, which was obviously a pointless question. But then she thought, since it was a man and she was a woman, it was dangerous, so she decided to leave.

Suddenly, there was a splashing sound of water. She turned around in disbelief and saw a man emerging from the bath.

When he turned his head, he realized that the person was very handsome, looking like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. Tsk tsk, what a good face. Ruan Mozhu was only focused on looking at the face and didn't see anything else. When the boy saw Ruan Mozhu, his face turned red with anger, making him look even more alluring. Suddenly, he turned water into an arrow and shot it at Ruan Mozhu.

Ruan Mozhu didn't know how she had offended this boy, she only knew that he was so cruel to her. Ruan Mozhu quickly retreated and dodged, so she hurriedly threw the boy's clothes on the ground and stomped on them and jumped around.

"Ha, you ungrateful little brother, how could you be so vicious? I just accidentally saw you taking a bath, why are you being so savage? I didn't mean to. Besides, you're just a child, what's there to see? What are you worried about?" These were Ruan Mozhu's inner thoughts.

She wouldn't even look at someone as well-built as Wei Jingnan, so she wouldn't care about a kid like him.

"You, you rude man, get out of here!" He kept launching attacks, and Ruan Mozhu was eventually kicked out. Ruan Mozhu could no longer get close to the hot spring. Actually, the hot spring was really warm; you could feel the warmth just by sitting next to it. But that crazy boy wouldn't let her get close. She was speechless. It wasn't his hot spring; why did he have the right to monopolize it?

So Ruan Mozhu couldn't figure it out, and decided to rush in anyway.

The young man was already dressed, and when Ruan Mozhu saw him, she thought, "He is indeed a handsome young man."

Wow, he's so handsome! How come I didn't notice at first?

The young man had a face like a peach blossom, lips like a rose, and deep eyes. He looked exceptionally beautiful, and Ruan Mozhu couldn't help but become a fan in an instant.

"You rude person, peeping at me while I'm bathing and even soiling my clothes! You're unforgivable! Let this hot spring cleanse your filthy soul!" And so he actually picked up Ruan Mozhu and carried her into the hot spring.

"Hey, you unreasonable boy! I clearly saw it by accident, but you insist that I was peeping. You are truly irrational. You dare to offend me? Hmph, when the time comes, I will have Wei Jingnan send troops to wipe you out, including your whole family. Since you dare to insult me, the king!" Before she could finish speaking, she was thrown into the water.

"Haha, you rude person, let's teach you a lesson for being arrogant!" He laughed innocently, almost making Ruan Mozhu forget what he was doing. Shaking her head, she wondered what she was doing, blinded by his good looks. This kid, she needed to teach him a lesson.

After Ruan Mozhu entered the water, she managed to climb out with great difficulty, but her figure was fully exposed, and her white clothes were particularly see-through. Ruan Mozhu felt very embarrassed, but then she thought, he is just a child, what is there to be embarrassed about.

Ruan Mozhu rushed over and, while he was still in shock, slapped him twice across the face. Good, Ruan Mozhu felt a surge of satisfaction.

The boy was quite surprised; she was actually a woman.

He just hit a woman, which is really wrong. Everyone says that hitting a woman is the most unmanly thing a man can do.

Ruan Mozhu slapped him. When the boy realized what had happened, he was so angry that he wanted to hit her back, but when he saw how pretty she looked with her long hair down, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He blushed and turned his head away.

Ruan Mozhu then looked at her chest and realized that the color of her undergarment was visible. But it didn't matter; he was just a child. However, seeing him turn away shyly, she didn't want to say anything more and just wanted to laugh.

This boy is so interesting. He's so conservative. If it were some bad guy, he probably would have pounced on her like a wolf. Luckily, she met him. She really does meet good people everywhere. Ruan Mozhu didn't make things difficult for him. She just chose a place to sit down and waited for her clothes to dry.

The two remained silent, yet they transformed from enemies into friends.

As for Wei Jingnan, he wanted to launch a signal flare, but found it was waterlogged and unusable. Helpless, he had to embark on the journey alone. He thought that the time to find Ruan Mozhu was still unknown, and the grand banquet in the palace was the day after tomorrow. He had to find Ruan Mozhu before the day after tomorrow and bring her back to the capital. No matter what, he had to take revenge.

How could he simply accept the Crown Prince's treatment of him? Before, he only harbored the idea of ​​being a carefree prince, but now, that idea was completely gone. The Crown Prince not only wanted his life, but also his position. Wei Jingnan was determined to have the Crown Prince's position, whether for his deceased mother or for himself. He had to be even more ruthless and work harder.
