The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Chapter 73 Head of the Secret Guards

Ruan Mozhu thought that Wei Jingnan was an angel because he had the appearance of a fairy. It was a pity that he used to have the methods and temper of a devil. He was much better now, but why was Wei Jingnan still clinging to her?

Ruan Mozhu thought of something and nestled in Wei Jingnan's arms, saying, "Wei Jingnan, I need you to grant me one request." Ruan Mozhu knew that Wei Jingnan would not agree to this request.

Because Wei Jingnan cared about her so much.

"Go ahead and say it," Wei Jingnan said in a very kind tone, but Ruan Mozhu knew that Wei Jingnan would get very angry in a little while.

Ruan Mozhu took a deep breath of the stale air and said, "I want to move to Bu Yu's house tomorrow to take care of him." Ruan Mozhu's suggestion caused a sudden chill to emanate from Wei Jingnan's side, making Ruan Mozhu close her eyes and mutter to herself, "Damn it, I knew I said the wrong thing." Ruan Mozhu knew that Wei Jingnan would absolutely not agree.

As expected, Wei Jingnan was vehemently opposed. Frustrated, Ruan Mozhu had no choice but to continue sleeping. Wei Jingnan, being very well-behaved, held Ruan Mozhu and slept peacefully, absorbing her warmth. Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, if she were a bad person, she could take Wei Jingnan's life in a matter of minutes. This Wei Jingnan, his vigilance is too weak.

Ruan Mozhu couldn't help but sigh, wondering how much money she must have owed Wei Jingnan in her past life to be so entangled with him, to the point that she had no personal freedom. Alas, how was she supposed to live in the future?

Thinking this, Ruan Mozhu suddenly turned around and kissed Wei Jingnan passionately. Wei Jingnan then flipped over and was on top of her. Ruan Mozhu finally said, "Wei Jingnan, isn't this enough? I need to move to the Bu residence to take care of Bu Yu. Bu Yu was injured because of me, I can't do this." Such words were too immoral. At least wait until Bu Yu recovered. Ruan Mozhu felt truly guilty.

According to the jade pendant and the name he called out, the so-called Xiaozhu was herself. But now she already had a husband, and he had waited for her for so many years. Ruan Mozhu should treat him well as a way of showing sympathy to someone who admired her.

"Ruan Mozhu, what are you doing? Are you trading your freedom for your own freedom? Are you such a casual person? Ruan Mozhu, I misjudged you." Wei Jingnan was really angry. He simply turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, leaving Ruan Mozhu with a stubborn back view.

Ruan Mozhu could sense his anger.

Every time Ruan Mozhu touched his back, he would sit back a little. Looking at his lonely back, Ruan Mozhu finally sighed and went to sleep.

Ruan Mozhu thought to herself that she couldn't leave Wei Jingnan at all; without Wei Jingnan, she wouldn't even have a comfortable home.

The next day, Ruan Mozhu was bored at home and decided to go to the Qi Prince's training ground, where many soldiers were rehearsing, including some secret guards. After thinking about it, Ruan Mozhu went to the training ground.

Xue'er and Su'er followed. It seemed that Xue'er and Su'er didn't get along very well. Su'er was carefree and easygoing, while Xue'er was ruthless and cautious. The two were contrasting. Ruan Mozhu thought that no matter what, Su'er was Wei Jingnan's spy. It would be better to let her leave. The next one would be Su'er.

When Ruan Mozhu arrived at the training ground, there were many people practicing. Suddenly, an arrow flew by by accident. Xue'er immediately stepped forward to stop it. Ruan Mozhu remained calm and composed, which truly amazed everyone present.

"I was unaware of Your Highness's arrival. I have failed to greet you properly. It was truly unintentional. Please forgive me, Your Highness." A burly-looking general stepped forward and said. Ruan Mozhu sized him up. He looked strong and robust, and must be a strongman.

Ruan Mozhu told him to dispense with formalities, saying, "This princess doesn't mind, but I wonder if the general finds it strange to see me here." Ruan Mozhu's words were loaded with meaning. She knew that in ancient times, men generally disliked women approaching the weapons and martial arts arena, as it was seen as overestimating their abilities or looking down on women.

Ruan Mozhu was aware of what she meant, and the general was quite clever. "Of course I don't mind. The princess is of noble birth and should rest and recuperate at the palace." He and Ruan Mozhu were going around in circles.

Looking at the generals of all ranks in the training ground, Ruan Mozhu figured that the Dark Guard General must be among them. Xue'er had discovered that the head of the Dark Guard was hiding here, training during the day and personally protecting the Prince at night.

Ruan Mozhu thought it was a good idea, so she came here in person to find the head of the secret guards and decided to talk to him.

"The Prince's mansion is too small. If I want to demonstrate my skills, I need a larger place. General, don't you think so?" Ruan Mozhu suddenly smiled, startling the general. This princess was very beautiful and sharp-tongued. Could it be that this princess intended to intervene in the Qi Prince's army?

This is quite intriguing. What could such a petite woman possibly do? Looking at the princess's attire—a white, tight-sleeved, belted dress, her hair styled up with tassels—she does possess a certain air of heroism. What is she planning to do?

"I wonder how Your Highness wishes to demonstrate your skills. Let's see what you can do." The general was quite frank with Ruan Mozhu, and he began to observe her closely.

Ruan Mozhu laughed and said, "General, you are so generous. Today, I, the princess, will exchange a few moves with you." In the eyes of others, Ruan Mozhu's move was undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock, a futile attempt to break a rock, and an overestimation of her own strength.

The burly general was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, which echoed throughout the army. The princess was talking nonsense; how could it be that a weak woman could fight against a burly general?

Ruan Mozhu suddenly made a move, using karate. In a few steps and three moves, Ruan Mozhu attempted a whirlwind kick, but the general grabbed her leg. The general frowned and said, "Your Highness, forgive me." Then he and Ruan Mozhu began to exchange blows. He twisted Ruan Mozhu's ankle, and Ruan Mozhu could only land on her feet and then attack her lower body, but kicking his knee was completely ineffective.

Ruan Mozhu could only attack his abdomen again, but he grabbed her small hands with both fists and pushed her away with his internal force. Ruan Mozhu used judo-like movements to break free and dissipate the force, instantly switching behind him. Because of her agility, she was naturally fast. Ruan Mozhu kicked him hard behind the knee, where there was no weak point. As a result, the general suddenly knelt on one knee. Ruan Mozhu stepped on his shin and kicked the back of his other knee. The general was kneeling on the ground. Ruan Mozhu won again.

This victory seemed effortless, but Ruan Mozhu knew that the man had only used half his strength. If he had gone all out from the start, she would have had no chance of winning.

Looking at the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, Ruan Mozhu wondered how this could be possible. The princess had actually defeated General Hu.

"General Hu is so powerful, he actually defeated the Princess! The Princess is so amazing! Long live the Princess!" A large crowd cheered, and Ruan Mozhu felt like her ears were about to be deafened. This was so inspiring!

These soldiers were all so loud; the combined voices of hundreds of people were not to be underestimated, making Ruan Mozhu feel like she couldn't even hear herself speak.

At this moment, Ruan Mozhu noticed that there was only one person in the crowd who had no expression. He was very calm. Such calmness must mean that he was the head of the secret guards hiding here. Everyone else was so happy or even incredulous, but he only had indifference in his eyes. Just like the rules that the secret guards followed, they could only have emotions about their master's affairs.

Being a bodyguard is so restrictive; you have to constantly revolve around your master, protect him, obey his orders, do his bidding, and fight for him. Thinking about it, it's quite restrictive.

Ruan Mozhu thought about it and whispered something to Xue'er beside her, then asked Xue'er to go over.

Seeing such an exciting scene, with so many men surrounding her and proud of her, made Ruan Mozhu very happy. However, she then gestured for everyone to stop, and sure enough, they immediately quieted down.

"Keep practicing. Whoever can beat me in the future, I'll talk to the Prince and make him a junior general here." Ruan Mozhu's offer was so tempting that everyone started practicing diligently and paid less attention to Ruan Mozhu.

Men are easy to talk to; once they say something, they mean it, and they do it right away. That's just how they are.

Ruan Mozhu went over to Xue'er's side, and sure enough, the head of the secret guards was there.

As Ruan Mozhu approached, sure enough, the guards barely bowed.

"You dare not bow to me, the Princess Consort? How dare you!" Ruan Mozhu tried to intimidate him with her status, but the man didn't even glance at her.

He simply said, "Since the princess already knows my identity, she should also know that the guards bow to their master." His words brought a gentle smile to Ruan Mozhu's face.

"He's a straightforward person indeed, admitting your identity so readily." Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, this person should already understand that she came here specifically to find him, and she wondered if he could guess anything about it.

"I don't know what the Princess wants to see me about." He knew in his heart that the Princess was practically a mistress, so he had to be respectful and spoke with his head down.

Ruan Mozhu said, "I believe you also know about the Prince's amnesia. The secret guards also know about this, but outsiders do not. Because of his amnesia, the Prince is unable to properly manage the Prince's mansion and protect himself. What I want to tell you is that from now on you should also listen to my words and obey my orders. The Prince cannot shoulder great responsibilities, but I can."

To put it bluntly, Ruan Mozhu came to gather influence. She wanted to have Wei Jingnan's power as well. She needed to grow and needed strength. Wei Jingnan, I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to covet your things. I only used them in private.

“Your Highness, I cannot obey your command. Even if the Prince has lost his memory, he is still my only master. He will not change his allegiance to you just because of a few words. I'm afraid Your Highness will not be able to get what you want. Please leave.” He had already gestured for Ruan Mozhu to leave, but Ruan Mozhu was not going to leave. How could she leave? She couldn't possibly go back empty-handed.

"Heh, I'm far more useful than you in some matters. The Prince has amnesia and doesn't understand anything. If you don't want him to become a puppet of the Crown Prince's faction, you'd better listen to me. I'll diligently develop my power and stay by the Prince's side to protect him. Last time, I took a blow for him; don't you still not believe me?" Ruan Mozhu had already used "me," so it was unclear whether he would believe her and be used by her.
