The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Like the saying goes, love and tribulation. Ruan Mozhu felt as if she were slowly walking the long road of life.

In their final duel, Ruan Mozhu used Taekwondo to easily defeat the woman. She grabbed the woman's tiger's mouth, twisted and flipped her over, and then locked her throat, winning instantly. Her technique even made it onto the martial arts rankings, entering the top ten. She was just a princess without any martial arts skills, yet she possessed such excellent abilities. If she were to gain internal strength, wouldn't she be even more formidable?

Ruan Mozhu became a celebrity again. Feeling a bit hot from the praise, she quickly excused herself. Wei Jingnan followed her. Everyone was discussing Ruan Mozhu's skills. The Emperor, seeing the women who had lost, bestowed them upon the Crown Prince, and the women were very happy.

The Crown Prince's concubines are also quite good.

Everyone was still savoring Ruan Mozhu's outstanding performance, discussing how she was simply amazing.

Ruan Mozhu ran to the Imperial Garden but found herself very hot, so she went into the artificial hill, took off her coat and kept fanning herself. It was very cool inside the artificial hill.

Ruan Mozhu felt herself getting hotter and hotter. What was going on? Then she remembered that the wicked woman had given her an aphrodisiac. What should she do? Ruan Mozhu thought of a solution.

She didn't want to go out at all; it would be so embarrassing if others saw her in such a disheveled state. She thought, "Just bear with it, it'll pass in a bit, it's nothing."

Ruan Mozhu felt like she was about to die from the heat of the fire. Her will prevented her from going out, and she kept gritting her teeth and pressing her forehead against the stone wall. She felt that the pain would make her more and more awake, and eventually her forehead bled.

Bu Yu chased after her, but couldn't find her anywhere. She seemed unwell; she had felt dizzy earlier. Bu Yu was indeed observant. Looking at the artificial hill, Bu Yu thought for a moment and went inside. It was a dark place, nothing special. Just as he was about to leave, something grabbed his ankle. He looked and saw it was Xiao Zhu. Her clothes were disheveled, and there was blood on her forehead. He quickly squatted down to help her, but then realized something was wrong.

Ruan Mozhu felt a sudden coolness and pulled Bu Yu down. Her consciousness was fading, and she was powerless to do anything.

Bu Yu had already realized that she had been drugged with aphrodisiacs and was about to drag her out to find the imperial physician when he discovered that she didn't want to walk on her own. Ruan Mozhu pulled him onto her body, and in a flip, the two of them rolled into the depths of the artificial hill. Ruan Mozhu began to kiss Bu Yu passionately, which almost overwhelmed Bu Yu.

The woman he had waited for for eight years was beneath him, kissing him. He was almost overwhelmed by her presence, but then he thought about how he had waited so long, and yet she had already married someone else. This left him with a deep sense of resentment.

She and Ruan Mozhu kissed, but the next second she was kicked away.

"Buyu, I never expected you to be this kind of person. From now on, it's either you or me, it's either you or me." Wei Jingnan carried Ruan Mozhu along a deserted path to his mother's palace. As soon as Ruan Mozhu landed, she could no longer hold back, and Wei Jingnan slapped her across the face.

Ruan Mozhu sobered up considerably, while Wei Jingnan's eyes were practically spitting fire. "Ruan Mozhu, I never expected you to be this kind of person. I really misjudged you!" Wei Jingnan said angrily.

"Yes, that's who I am. I pursue my own life. What are you trying to do? If you hadn't asked me to find you a concubine, would I have been drugged with aphrodisiacs? It's all because of you. I didn't even say I was wronged. Why are you angry? Wei Jingnan, can't you learn your lesson and think about why this happened?" Ruan Mozhu completely exploded because of this slap. Wei Jingnan went too far. Ruan Mozhu was almost like a madwoman, crying and screaming, tears streaming down her face.

Wei Jingnan really went too far. I don't even know how long it will be before I can see you again. Your face is so swollen that it hurts to even move your mouth.

Wei Jingnan regretted it the moment he made the move. She really had no choice. All the anger in her heart turned into tenderness in an instant. Ruan Mozhu's aphrodisiac took effect again, and the two of them were enveloped in warmth.

When Ruan Mozhu woke up again, Wei Jingnan was gone. Ruan Mozhu got up and dressed, her body aching all over. Looking in the mirror, she cried again. When she opened the door, Su'er was actually outside.

She escorted Ruan Mozhu back to the Prince's Mansion, and Ruan Mozhu returned to the mansion without any emotion.

Wei Jingnan, however, arrived at the Crown Prince's residence like a ghost. He saw the women bathing and preparing to serve the Crown Prince, and Wei Jingnan smiled wickedly.

The women didn't even notice that the powder had been added to the water.

Wei Jingnan returned to the Prince's Mansion, only to find that Ruan Mozhu was completely emotionless, like a wooden doll. He knew he had hurt her, but so had he. Sigh.

Ruan Mozhu stopped talking to him and quietly went about her own business. She heard from Su'er that she wanted to develop her power, and Wei Jingnan also asked Su'er to use her power to help her.

Su'er was puzzled. What was wrong with the prince and princess? Why did they both look so unhappy?

The next day, when Su'er was combing Ruan Mozhu's hair, she told her some funny stories. Su'er said, "Your Highness, do you know that those concubines yesterday, they served the Crown Prince and were abused by him until they were covered in bruises. It was as if they had been drugged. The Crown Prince was still dealing with those concubines this morning. Now he is weak and has fainted." Su'er seemed very happy. This Crown Prince was an enemy, so Su'er disliked him and naturally wanted to speak ill of him and was secretly pleased.

Ruan Mozhu secretly felt it was good; the Crown Prince had gone too far, and now he deserved his misfortune.

Ruan Mozhu looked at Su'er, and kept what she wanted to say to herself.

"How much have the restaurant and skincare shop made these past few days?" Ruan Mozhu wanted to have a clear understanding of their earnings so she could better plan her next move.

"We earned a total of 208,000 taels, after deducting the expenses," Su'er said after thinking for a moment.

Two hundred and eight thousand taels, not bad.

"By the way, is the pearl purchasing center ready? How is it operating?" Ruan Mozhu wanted to know all of this.

Su'er replied happily, "Your Highness, don't worry, everything is fine. Those pearls, because we reduced the amount of goods transported outside and eliminated many markups, are really cheap. We've made quite a bit of money."

Ruan Mozhu's idea was really good, so she considered developing an intelligence network and thought of a brothel in the capital, Wuyue Tower.

Ruan Mozhu acquired Wuyuelou and provided them with many musical scores, making them extremely famous.

Ruan Mozhu thought she would find a way to sneak them into the officials' residences.

Ruan Mozhu prepared a medicine for each woman in Wuyue Tower, a medicine that would make a man devoted to only that one woman. It was just a rare aphrodisiac.

Ruan Mozhu receives news every day about a girl becoming famous and being taken into the household of an official, and she just smiles at it.

Ruan Mozhu chose a clever and beautiful woman from among the women, named Xue'er, and decided that she would continue to follow her from now on.

Su'er was ultimately Wei Jingnan's woman, and Ruan Mozhu was worried about her. So Ruan Mozhu found a martial arts instructor to train with Xue'er every day, and the two became like sisters.

The person that Ruan Mozhu took a liking to was naturally no ordinary person. Xue'er was ruthless and vicious; any man who touched her would surely die. That's why Ruan Mozhu valued her ruthlessness and intelligence.

Ruan Mozhu thought that Xue'er must be a master of poison.

So he and Ruan Mozhu learned how to use poison together, and they also learned martial arts together. The two got along well.

Ruan Mozhu further instructed Xue'er to gather her fellow disciples to establish a sect together. Ruan Mozhu bought a house in the suburbs and named it Danya Residence, where they all lived.

Before everyone, Ruan Mozhu made a vow: "I, Ruan Mozhu, have great ambitions, but alas, I am merely a woman of this realm with limited abilities. Today, with all my fellow disciples here to discuss this great undertaking with me, I, Ruan Mozhu, will do my utmost to ensure that everyone enjoys happiness alongside me. No matter what, as long as I, Ruan Mozhu, have food to eat, my fellow disciples will no longer have to wander aimlessly. We are all one family."

Ruan Mozhu's words moved everyone, and so the Five Poison Sisters were formed.

They are Poison Heart, Poisonous Love, Poisonous Snow, Poisonous Jasmine, and Poisonous Illumination.

Apart from Ruan Mozhu and Xue'er being female, the other three are all male, with only one being the youngest, who is the junior brother.

Ruan Mozhu also learned that the five of them were disciples of a reclusive master. Later, they were asked to go down the mountain to gain experience, but the master went on a journey to cultivate immortality. The master told them that they would all become local overlords, but they could not use poison until they met a benefactor. It seemed that without using poison, they would be down on their luck.

Poison Snow has fallen on hard times at a brothel, and her four brothers can only make a living by working odd jobs. They are saving money to try and redeem Poison Snow. The world is vast, and drowning them is not a problem.

Poison Snow had gathered them all together. It turned out they all had bosses now, so food and clothing wouldn't be a problem anymore. Could this person be their benefactor?

"I, Poisonous Heart, Poisonous Passion, Poisonous Snow, Poisonous Zhao, will obey Poisonous Jasmine's commands. From now on, we will share both fortune and misfortune, with Heaven and Earth as our witness."

From then on, the five Poison Brothers were formed.

Ruan Mozhu had a clear division of labor: Du Xin was responsible for recruiting ambitious people, all of whom had to be good at martial arts; Du Qing was responsible for arranging the internal structure; and Du Zhao was responsible for counting the number of people, managing the expenditure of silver, and carrying out publicity work.

Ruan Mozhu is in charge of making money, while Du Xue is in charge of screening people. Those who can defeat Du Xue can enter our newly built Zhuqing Pavilion.

And so, everyone got to work. Ruan Mozhu spent a lot of money to build a grand palace on the mountain opposite the capital. It consisted of five small halls and one large hall: the Poison Heart Hall, the Poison Love Hall, the Poison Snow Hall, the Poison Jasmine Hall, the Poison Zhao Hall, and another hall specifically for holding meetings. It was so large that it could accommodate everyone in the pavilion.

It will take about a month to complete because Ruan Mozhu hired many workers.

Of course, Ruan Mozhu had to use up all her savings to pay for it.

Ruan Mozhu earns a fortune every day, but she also spends thousands of taels of silver at Danya Residence every day. Because she invests a lot of money, she promotes the place a lot, and attracts more people. Those who stay naturally receive silver as a base salary, and those who don't pass also receive silver as a participation bonus.

This made Zhuqing Pavilion more and more famous, and occasionally some troublemakers would come, but the Du brothers were not to be trifled with.

Ruan Mozhu is short of money. The money for the palace, the base of Zhuqing Pavilion, has been spent. Now she is short of the money she has prepared for urgent needs.

Ruan Mozhu thought of Bu Yu. That day, she almost had something happen with Bu Yu. Fortunately, Wei Jingnan arrived in time. But, wasn't the result still the same? Bu Yu was a much better person than Wei Jingnan.
