After all, she didn't have much energy to manage the Bamboo Green Pavilion herself, so using medicine was the best option. Therefore, Ruan Mozhu came up with this method.

“I still feel like something’s not right. If we’re discovered, it could be a disaster.” Ruan Mozhu thought about it and agreed that something was wrong. So she decided against using drugs. Otherwise, if they were discovered, the morale of the army would be low and they would be wiped out. That wouldn’t be good.

Ruan Mozhu then instructed Xiao Hua to send people to keep a close watch on the group at Danya Residence. Although there were probably no more spies, Ruan Mozhu felt it was better to be cautious. Ruan Mozhu also instructed Xiao Hua to secretly develop the secret guard force, since dozens of secret guards had been killed by the Crown Prince that time, which was a significant loss.

Ruan Mozhu felt that it was still necessary to develop power from the root. So, Ruan Mozhu looked at Xiao Hua and said, "I already have people in the homes of many high-ranking officials. Recently, I learned that the son of one of the Crown Prince's trusted officials is a womanizer and likes prostitutes. I plan to make a move on this confidant who had a son late in life and slowly devour the Crown Prince's supporters. What do you think?" Ruan Mozhu had a reason for thinking about this plan. This young master was the late-life son of that Crown Prince's trusted official. So, if something happened to this young master, she could find a way to implicate that trusted official.

Let the crown prince be slowly swallowed up.

Ruan Mozhu's idea was very thoughtful, and Xiao Hua thought it was quite good. He praised it highly, saying that the princess was indeed very intelligent.

Compared to the prince, the two are equally matched. If the princess were to manage our palace, the prince would be a figurehead, while the princess would have real power. This wouldn't be bad. After all, the princess is shrewd and seems to be even more cunning than the prince. Women's hearts are ultimately more delicate. In this way, Xiao Hua was already impressed by Ruan Mozhu's brilliant idea.

Seeing Xiao Hua's happy expression, Ruan Mozhu thought it was good. Okay, let's do it this way. Ruan Mozhu continued practicing her sword, unaware that Wei Jingnan was still watching her from the darkness. He had seen her every move. Such a peerless beauty, he still couldn't hold her in the future. Ruan Mozhu, you can just say what you want, but why are you so stubborn, insisting on completing this dangerous journey alone? You really treat me like a child, someone you protect. Ruan Mozhu, I'll watch you. When you're tired, you must tell me.

The figure in the darkness slowly disappeared.

Ruan Mozhu didn't notice anything amiss with Wei Jingnan from beginning to end. In her eyes, Wei Jingnan was just a child, a silly boy who needed her protection. Therefore, she had to be strong to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Prince's Mansion so that she could provide for him. He used to protect her, and now it was finally her turn. Ruan Mozhu didn't feel much burden. She just felt that although she had a mission, she was no longer alone.

I'm not afraid of anything, not even death, I'm only afraid of being alone.

Unfortunately, who could guess what Ruan Mozhu was thinking?

The next day, Ruan Mozhu accompanied Wei Jingnan to the palace. Ruan Mozhu dressed Wei Jingnan up like a celestial being descended to earth, making him look like a god. His deep phoenix eyes were mesmerizing, and his flawless face sparked countless fantasies. His red brocade robe was also incredibly handsome. Ruan Mozhu was stunned. Wei Jingnan's face was already very good, but when he was carefully dressed up, he was even more stunning. Ruan Mozhu, you've found a treasure!

Ruan Mozhu was also happy, after all, Wei Jingnan was so handsome, it made her feel proud.

Ruan Mozhu also chose a bright red dress, which looked very beautiful and made her face look radiant. Ruan Mozhu felt that she was really doing great.

The pearl mask she used last night made her face look incredibly smooth and delicate. The exquisite floral decorations added a touch of feminine softness to her features. Her eyes were captivating and charming. She had applied contouring to her nose, and her facial features were also meticulously drawn, making her face look exceptionally delicate.

Ruan Mozhu's lips were also meticulously outlined, making her look radiant and giving her the air of a peerless beauty. Ruan Mozhu also finished her eyeliner, making her eyes even more captivating. Ruan Mozhu was surprised by herself; she never thought she could be so beautiful. The cosmetics she invented during her boring time in ancient times could make her look so good. Ruan Mozhu seemed to have spotted a business opportunity again.

Afraid that she might forget, Ruan Mozhu hurriedly asked Xue'er to prepare the materials and make all of these things. She made a lot of them, confident that her business would be very successful.

After Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan entered the palace, they felt that many people were looking at them. Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, "Sure enough, this kind of makeup didn't exist in ancient times. This beautiful version of myself is also the first time I've appeared in ancient times."

The Emperor sent Wei Jingnan to the inner palace, which is now the Empress's palace. The Empress held Wei Jingnan's head, looking very heartbroken. Ruan Mozhu secretly made a gesture to Wei Jingnan, telling him not to struggle and to persevere. And so, Wei Jingnan played along with their act.

"Actually, I'm fine. I remember you are my father, and Mozhu is my wife. I'm alright." Wei Jingnan was really naive. His confident smile only made the emperor more worried.

With a mix of relief and worry, Ruan Mozhu privately remarked that Wei Jingnan's acting was superb.

Ruan Mozhu thought that Wei Jingnan had a real talent for acting. If he were in modern times, he would be a man of both talent and ability. Moreover, his good looks were an added bonus. Wei Jingnan was practically a perfect score.

Ruan Mozhu was also speechless; Wei Jingnan was truly a chosen one.

Ruan Mozhu watched as Wei Jingnan stretched out his hand behind his back and made an "OK" gesture. Ruan Mozhu had taught him this gesture, and Wei Jingnan, being very clever, learned it immediately.

Looking at Wei Jingnan now, Ruan Mozhu felt very comfortable. Yes, Wei Jingnan should live under his father's protection and love.

I heard that he was always bullied by princes of the same age because of his disability. Later, he gradually gained fame and fortune, which made him more powerful and stronger. This is all thanks to those who put pressure on him back then. Yes, Wei Jingnan owes a lot to the suppression of the Crown Prince's faction to be where he is today. Otherwise, he would not have worked so hard before.

Everything Wei Jingnan has today is of his own making: power, influence, and wealth. All he lacks is the throne.

"Wei Jingnan, if you weren't so stupid, I would risk my life to help you ascend the throne," Ruan Mozhu thought. But what about Wei Jingnan? He's gone mad. She really hoped he could recover someday. But Ruan Mozhu had also learned that in ancient times, people who lost their memories or suffered from dementia only had a 2% chance of recovery. So, Wei Jingnan was unlikely to recover and would remain mad forever.

When Ruan Mozhu found out, she was initially surprised, then saddened, but eventually accepted it. As for Wei Jingnan, she could simply support him herself. With her wealth, she could easily provide for someone's peaceful, happy, and prosperous life. She would treat Wei Jingnan like her own child.

The Emperor looked at Ruan Mozhu, who was all alone, and knew that he had neglected her. He quickly beckoned Ruan Mozhu over. When Ruan Mozhu went over, the Emperor took Wei Jingnan's hand in his own and looked at Ruan Mozhu with eyes that seemed to have seen all the vicissitudes of life. Ruan Mozhu's heart skipped a beat.

"Nan'er has already been examined by the imperial physician, and it seems his mind has been damaged. There's no chance of recovery. You are his wife, so you must take good care of him. My life is almost over, and I probably won't be able to continue taking care of him. Fortunately, I still have you." The Emperor's words to Ruan Mozhu made her feel very sad. The Emperor was a man who was almost buried in the ground, and it seemed that his time was not long.

He became increasingly sentimental, which made Ruan Mozhu lower her head as if in advance of mourning.

He was truly heartbroken that his son, born in his old age, had become mentally impaired. At first, he was only disabled, then he recovered, and then he became mentally impaired again. This was something he couldn't accept for a moment, so he quickly sent Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan away. When Ruan Mozhu left, she turned back and saw the Emperor holding the Empress and crying.

It's really tragic, isn't it? Ruan Mozhu seemed to understand Wei Jingnan's feelings. After all, Wei Jingnan was indeed quite foolish.

Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan continued walking until they reached the Imperial Garden. Ruan Mozhu spotted a very beautiful flower. Wei Jingnan seemed to read her mind and helped her pick the flower. Just as he picked it, a whip lashed down, but Wei Jingnan managed to pull his hand back, thus avoiding the attack. Wei Jingnan was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Ruan Mozhu.

"Hmph, how dare you be so presumptuous as to pick flowers in this princess's royal garden!" It was a spoiled voice. Ruan Mozhu looked up and saw a delicate beauty, but unfortunately, her expression was a bit ugly and her temper was a bit bad.

Ruan Mozhu was pondering who this princess was. She was dressed in an exotic style; surely she wasn't a princess from this palace? Sure enough, Ruan Mozhu was right. She slowly walked over and, without a word, slapped her.

The princess was also incredulous. How dare this woman hit her? She was the princess of Ke'erhan! How could she treat her like this?

"I'll beat you to death!" *Slap!* Ruan Mozhu grabbed her wrist and slapped her delicate face again.

The princess was utterly incredulous that Ruan Mozhu dared to treat her like this. Ruan Mozhu looked at her forcefully, and the princess's tears began to fall.

"I am a princess, how could you treat me like this?" She cried, but Ruan Mozhu didn't want to pay any attention to her. The princess struggled, but Ruan Mozhu was too strong, so she could only be weakly subdued.

Ruan Mozhu looked at her and said, word by word, "First of all, you wanted to hit your husband, and you deserved it. Secondly, calling it 'Your Imperial Garden' in the middle of the night? This Imperial Garden belongs to the palace, to the Emperor. Who do you think you are, daring to call it 'Yours'? What race of princess are you, so arrogant? Heh, you're so arrogant, you're really spoiled." Ruan Mozhu looked at this princess and noticed that she had many beads on her head, so she must be a princess from a foreign land. Her eyes were also very large and charming, but unfortunately, she had a terrible temper.
