The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune
Chapter 61 Couples in Adversity
She just wanted everything to go back to that moment in the bridal sedan chair. If she had escaped alone and hadn't been pulled into the wrong sedan chair, wouldn't everything be different now?
Ruan Mozhu was still conservative at heart, but thinking of this, she couldn't help but cry, needing to vent. Her vision slowly blurred, and Ruan Mozhu turned her head and slowly walked towards the river. Looking at her reflection in the water, Ruan Mozhu thought, "Is the water this clear even in modern times?"
Ruan Mozhu still couldn't let it go.
Wei Jingnan watched her leave suddenly, and then slowly went over to her.
Ruan Mozhu burst into tears as she thought about it. This was not what she wanted at all. What she wanted was a life of immense power, countless riches, and the admiration of thousands, not to be a mere princess who had her virginity taken against her will.
When I first came into this world, I, Ruan Mozhu, had no family, no friends, nothing at all. Later, I became a princess, gained loyal companions, and had a warm royal palace. But I didn't want any of these things, or perhaps I didn't want them at all. I was too petty. I wanted too much, and I should give up some. From then on, she would never back down again. This world must have a place for her.
As Ruan Mozhu thought about it, she stopped crying. But when she turned around, she was startled by the magnified image of Wei Jingnan's handsome face and fell backward. Ruan Mozhu screamed.
However, the warmth from her waist made her turn her head. It turned out that Wei Jingnan had pulled her back. The two looked at each other affectionately, and Ruan Mozhu saw herself reflected in his eyes, so affectionately.
It was a bit funny, but Wei Jingnan pulled her up. Ruan Mozhu straightened up and said, "You should rest well. We'll hurry on our way into the city later." Wei Jingnan was quite powerful, so relying on her wasn't a bad idea, right?
"Is my home in the city?" Wei Jingnan asked innocently. Ruan Mozhu turned her head away coldly, her eyes only showing a direct look and a smile.
"Don't worry about it. I know everything about you. I'll help you. We're just benefactor and hurtor. I saved your life, so you have to do a lot for me." Ruan Mozhu suddenly turned cold. Wei Jingnan had lost his memory, which was perfect for her.
Wei Jingnan was amazed by her. She seemed to have emerged from her cocoon like a butterfly, her eyes filled with calculation, scheming against others to achieve her own success.
I don't know why, but I just believe her, I believe her so much. Maybe it's because she was the first person I saw, the only person I know, and people tend to trust their first impressions, or maybe they're just drawn to their first instinct.
Wei Jingnan knew at that moment that this woman must have a plan, and that he was also part of her scheme. He had just seen scheming and contempt in her eyes.
"By the way, my name is Ruan Mozhu."
Let's just consider it a chance to get to know each other again.
"Ruan Mozhu," Wei Jingnan murmured to himself.
Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan continued walking. The afternoon sun was blazing, and they were finally close to the main road when suddenly a number of hidden guards jumped out, intending to kill Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan.
Ruan Mozhu nervously shielded Wei Jingnan behind her, and sure enough, the Crown Prince appeared.
"Wei Jingnan, I've finally waited for you! Oh, Princess Qi, how have you been? My guards reported that Wei Jingnan rushed out of the city because of your escape. I've been waiting here for quite some time." Wei Jingye's words made Wei Jingnan frown in confusion. What escape?
Ruan Mozhu felt guilty and uneasy. She looked at Wei Jingnan, not daring to meet his eyes, and then angrily said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, may I speak to you in private?"
She believed the prince wouldn't harm her; she was just trying her last chance to escape.
"Your Highness, Wei Jingnan has lost his memory and can't remember anything. Why don't you wipe away all past grudges and let Wei Jingnan live as a carefree prince, no longer involved in state affairs?" Ruan Mozhu had no chance of winning because the Crown Prince was too ambitious and would never tolerate Wei Jingnan's survival. Ruan Mozhu wanted Wei Jingnan to get away unscathed, so she had to try. She was not important, but Wei Jingnan was very important.
A prince cannot simply disappear. Besides, Wei Jingnan has a family, servants, and a large palace that needs him, while she is just a lowly woman. Even if things fall apart now, she must protect Wei Jingnan and help him leave no matter what.
Ruan Mozhu met the Crown Prince's gaze. He seemed equally interested, but Ruan Mozhu still noticed the ruthlessness in his eyes. She understood then that he wouldn't let Wei Jingnan go. Ruan Mozhu frantically considered her options; was breaking through the encirclement truly her only option?
Wei Jingnan watched as Ruan Mozhu went over to talk with that so-called Crown Prince. He analyzed the current situation and concluded that this Crown Prince seemed to be both an enemy and a friend, and appeared to be a ruthless character.
Now both he and Ruan Mozhu are alone. If they are bad people, then he and Ruan Mozhu will definitely be killed.
But that won't do. Mozhu can't die with him, and besides, this prince seems to be targeting her.
He didn't know what was going on, so he could only take it one step at a time. Wei Jingnan didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that he knew martial arts and must have been a master in the past.
He suddenly felt a strong urge to test his martial arts skills.
Knowing there was no hope, Ruan Mozhu had no choice but to take a gamble. Suddenly, she turned around, pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, and took the prince hostage. Her movements were fluid and graceful. Fortunately, she was quite skilled, having practiced karate.
"Wei Jingye, let us go, or I'll kill you!" Ruan Mozhu's voice was low and carried a distinctly江湖儿女 (jianghu heroine/heroine) air, which surprised Wei Jingye slightly. Such courage and skill were far beyond what a courtesan could possess.
"Hehe." Wei Jingye laughed. This woman overestimated herself. Wei Jingye elbowed Ruan Mozhu backward, and she quickly stepped back to dodge, but then let go of Wei Jingye. Damn it, Wei Jingye got away. Ruan Mozhu raised her dagger, ready to fight, and shouted at Wei Jingnan.
"Wei Jingnan, run!"
Ruan Mozhu hurriedly shouted for Wei Jingnan to run, but Wei Jingnan seemed stupid and didn't intend to run. Instead, he rushed towards Ruan Mozhu. Ruan Mozhu suddenly thought Wei Jingnan was so handsome. He just rushed towards her like an angel coming to save her.
Looking at him, Ruan Mozhu suddenly wondered, is this what they call a couple who have gone through thick and thin together?
Wei Jingnan rushed over and kicked Wei Jingye away, then grabbed Ruan Mozhu and used his light-footed skill to leave.
Ruan Mozhu gazed at him quietly and realized that this man was really silly. Could it be because he had amnesia? Well, he's a promising talent.
Wei Jingnan smelled sweet, which made Ruan Mozhu feel very safe.
Perhaps Wei Jingnan is worth her staying.
The Crown Prince and his entourage were unwilling to accept this, and they quickly used their light-footed skills to catch up. Ruan Mozhu saw that Wei Jingnan was about to be caught up, so she gritted her teeth and said.
"Wei Jingnan, put me down. I'll only add to your weight. Why don't you escape yourself? You're skilled in martial arts; you'll definitely be able to escape." At this crucial moment, Ruan Mozhu displayed her selfless and magnanimous spirit.
Wei Jingnan just glared at her fiercely, and then moved even faster.
They were finally caught up. The enemy struck Wei Jingnan from behind, knocking him to the ground. He cushioned the fall to protect Ruan Mozhu. Wei Jingnan landed first, and Ruan Mozhu, lying on top of him, was not seriously injured.
"Wei Jingnan, Wei Jingnan, are you alright? Don't scare me." Wei Jingnan's face was pale with pain, which frightened Ruan Mozhu. Wei Jingnan had always been very strong and never showed any suffering or pain, but now that it was so obvious on his face, he must be in a lot of pain.
Ruan Mozhu was also very worried, but Wei Jingnan forced himself to say, "It's okay, Mozhu, don't worry, I will protect you."
His words made Ruan Mozhu's heart pound. This Wei Jingnan was so good at moving people.
He made my heart flutter with just one sentence, and I was almost moved by him. He's so handsome, and he's a prince. How wonderful!
"Hehe, if you want to protect me, then give yourself a chance to leave. Only if you live can you have a chance to save me." Ruan Mozhu looked at him earnestly, and the two looked at each other deeply. From then on, they were no longer afraid of any danger outside.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wei Jingnan actually agreed. Well, Ruan Mozhu was the one who wanted to say it that way.
When the guards descended like death itself, Ruan Mozhu gripped Wei Jingnan's hand tightly and asked, "Are you scared?" Ruan Mozhu's eyes held a smile; her eyes, with their prominent under-eye bags, were incredibly captivating.
"I'm not afraid. With you here, I'm not afraid at all." Wei Jingnan actually said this, which almost made Ruan Mozhu mistakenly believe that they were a couple who had gone through thick and thin together.
The Crown Prince slowly descended, saying sarcastically, "Oh dear, what a pair of star-crossed lovers. It's a pity that I, the Crown Prince, am here to break them up. You, kill them!" The Crown Prince became ruthless, giving Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan no way out. With no other choice, Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan had to get up and fight again.
Ruan Mozhu would never admit defeat until the very last moment.
A guard rushed towards the sword, but Ruan Mozhu grabbed his wrist with her bare hands, caught it, and then grabbed his arm by the tiger's mouth, breaking it in two. The guard was crippled. Who would have thought that Ruan Mozhu was actually quite skilled in martial arts?
Ruan Mozhu had also practiced karate, having reviewed much of what she had learned in ancient times.
"Princess Qi, you're amazing! Seeing that you could parry the guards' attacks with your bare hands despite having no internal energy, I think you're quite extraordinary. You wouldn't happen to be from some sect, would you? Are you also an undercover agent?" Wei Jingye was very surprised.
I never expected that Ruan Mozhu would know martial arts and be able to hold her own against a secret guard. She's really something else.
"Hmph, Your Highness, I, the Princess Consort, am a disciple of the Karate School, far superior to your vulgar martial arts. Today, I will show you my prowess!"
Ruan Mozhu confronted another guard, directly locking his throat and breaking his bone, killing him instantly. Ruan Mozhu was truly skilled; fortunately, she consulted someone proficient in acupoint techniques, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find the guards' acupoint weaknesses so quickly.
Everyone has certain acupoints that are very vulnerable. The throat is a particularly important area. If you apply a little force and then press the acupoint to close the airway, the person will suddenly die. Ruan Mozhu is quite proficient in these things.
Living in ancient times must have been quite boring. Luckily, I learned some self-defense techniques, otherwise I wouldn't even have been able to protect myself.
Wei Jingnan watched Ruan Mozhu's skillful movements and thought they were quite good. Fortunately, Ruan Mozhu also knew some martial arts, otherwise he would have had to take care of her and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to manage.
The two gradually ran out of energy and were on the verge of defeat. Ruan Mozhu remembered the hidden arrows in her sleeve, so she quickly took them out and fired a few. They were like bullets, and she easily took down several of them.
Wei Jingye was shocked. What was this thing? It could shoot arrows like a bow and arrow, but it was so small that it could be carried around. This Ruan Mozhu was no ordinary person.
