The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan returned to the Prince's residence, where the steward greeted them obsequiously, saying, "Your Highness and Princess, you're back! Did anything memorable happen on your journey?"

Just as Ruan Mozhu was about to speak, Wei Jingnan spoke first, saying, "On the way, we encountered a domineering, arrogant, and unreasonable princess. However, she was quite beautiful, with a face like a peach blossom, large, watery eyes, a small and straight nose, and very delicate features. Her lips were as thin as flower petals, making one want to kiss them." Wei Jingnan was still lost in his memories.

Seeing his expression, Ruan Mozhu pointed at his head and said, "You, you, you never study properly and all you do is think about strange things."

Wei Jingnan stuck out his tongue and said, "I was just telling the housekeeper what happened on our way."

Seeing the prince and princess bickering like this, the steward thought they were very affectionate and said with a smile, "Your Highness and Princess must be a little hungry and tired from the journey. I have already sent someone to prepare a flower petal bath for the Princess to enjoy. After you have enjoyed it, let's prepare a meal."

Ruan Mozhu replied with a smile, "Alright, then I'll go ahead. You take the prince to have his meal first, I'll come and have my meal after I finish my bath."

Then she walked out the door and arrived at the bathhouse. A group of maids of similar rank came to her side and said with smiles, "Let us help the princess undress."

"Yes, prepare for a bath." Ruan Mozhu nodded with a smile. The maids helped Ruan Mozhu take off her clothes and placed bright red flower petals on the water in the bathtub. Then the maids withdrew one by one, and Ruan Mozhu stepped into the bathtub, enjoying the comfort brought by the flower petal bath. Ruan Mozhu felt her body relax a lot.

Ruan Mozhu recalled the events of the journey and felt sorry for the spoiled and unreasonable princess. She was actually preparing to marry such an old emperor, who could be her father.

Ruan Mozhu felt that the princess wasn't as pitiful as she appeared. She thought the princess was being used as a tool. She suddenly felt sorry for the princess and thought about everything that had happened along the way. Before she knew it, the bathwater in the tub had gone cold. Ruan Mozhu said softly, "Someone, come and help me change my clothes."

A group of maids entered from outside the door. They took the clothes that had been placed aside and helped Ruan Mozhu change her clothes. Then they also helped Ruan Mozhu with her hair and makeup.

The maids began to comb Ruan Mozhu's hair, then applied makeup and powder to her, finally making her look incredibly charming. The maids all thought the princess was extremely beautiful, and they said with smiles, "The princess is so beautiful, could it be that the prince will fall in love with her?"

Hearing what they said, Ruan Mozhu looked at her reflection in the mirror, touched her hair and then her face, smiled shyly without saying a word. After dressing up, Ruan Mozhu headed towards the dining room. On the way, she met the steward, who saw the princess walking towards her and greeted her with a smile.

"Your Highness, please prepare your meal. The Prince has been waiting for you for a long time." Ruan Mozhu replied with a smile, "I know."

Ruan Mozhu arrived at the room where Wei Jingnan was having his meal. Wei Jingnan saw Ruan Mozhu and looked her over carefully. He thought to himself, she is still so beautiful, so beautiful that she doesn't seem to come from the human world. She is like a fairy who has descended from heaven, and it seems that there is no woman in the human world more beautiful than her.

Seeing Wei Jingnan staring at her so intently, Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, "Why is Wei Jingnan looking at me like that? It feels strange." So Ruan Mozhu started to speak, "What? Is there something unclean on my face?" Wei Jingnan snapped out of his reverie and said, "Nothing."

When Ruan Mozhu saw Wei Jingnan say that, she smiled and didn't say anything more. When Wei Jingnan saw that Mozhu was still standing there blankly, he quickly stood up from his own stool, walked over and put his hand on Mozhu's shoulder.

He said, "Mozhu, sit down quickly, let's eat together." Ruan Mozhu listened to Wei Jingnan telling her to sit down and eat together.

She quickly sat down. Looking at the various dishes on the table, Ruan Mozhu felt very hungry. The dishes were also very varied, which made her even happier. Ruan Mozhu quickly asked Wei Jingnan to return to his seat and sit down to eat with her.

Wei Jingnan obediently sat back down, and the two of them ate their dinner together. They chatted about the interesting and unforgettable things that had happened on their journey, and were very happy. After dinner, Ruan Mozhu felt that she had eaten too much and decided to take a walk in the garden. Ruan Mozhu said to Wei Jingnan, "I want to take a walk in the garden." Wei Jingnan saw that Ruan Mozhu really wanted to go for a walk.

Wei Jingnan said, "Okay, let's go for a walk together."

Then the two decided to stroll through the back garden together. The palace was illuminated with bright lanterns, creating a magnificent and beautiful sight. Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan slowly walked into the back garden. They always had endless topics to discuss, and their silhouettes, illuminated by the lanterns, looked perfectly matched. Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan sat down on two benches facing each other. Looking at Mozhu, Wei Jingnan was suddenly overwhelmed with indescribable emotions. Seeing Wei Jingnan staring at her blankly, Ruan Mozhu asked, "What's wrong?"

When Wei Jingnan heard Mo Zhu ask him with concern, he replied, "Mo Zhu, no matter what happens, please don't leave me, okay, Mo Zhu?"

Seeing that Wei Jingnan seemed preoccupied, Ruan Mozhu replied, "How could that be?" She then hugged him, telling him not to overthink things and that she would always be there for him. Wei Jingnan felt happy being held by Mozhu, so he hugged her back tightly, gently tapping her forehead. Realizing it was getting late, he said...

"Mozhu, let's go back to our room and rest. It's getting late." It was late and the night was cool. When Ruan Mozhu heard Wei Jingnan say this, the two of them prepared to go to bed together. After returning to their bedroom, they changed their clothes and went to bed together, but Ruan Mozhu couldn't fall asleep no matter what, even though it was already past midnight.

Wei Jingnan was asleep, so Ruan Mozhu decided to go to the courtyard to practice her swordsmanship. Afraid of waking Wei Jingnan, she quietly got up, put on her outer clothes, and then covered Wei Jingnan with the blanket.

Ruan Mozhu glanced at Wei Jingnan. His thick, dark eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his nose was high and straight, his lips were thin and beautiful, and his features were well-defined. Ruan Mozhu thought Wei Jingnan was bewitchingly beautiful. She stared into his eyes. Ruan Mozhu felt that the room was stuffy, so she covered Wei Jingnan with a blanket and then turned to go out to the courtyard. Ruan Mozhu practiced her sword intently in the courtyard. Her swordsmanship was very fast, giving people a feeling of speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Xiao Hua came out. He was in charge of watching Ruan Mozhu practice her sword. He watched Ruan Mozhu practice her sword and felt that it was not accurate enough. He said from a distance that the sword power was not enough. Ruan Mozhu heard the voice from a distance and recognized it as Xiao Hua's voice.

She went to greet him, "Xiao Hua, why are you still up at this hour? What brings you to the guard's residence? You seem to be having quite a bit of fun."

Xiao Hua said, "I had a falling out with someone tonight and was feeling down. I wanted to have a drink with the Prince to talk things over, but here I am, and here I am." Ruan Mozhu said, "He's already asleep." Xiao Hua said, "Well, you're in a good mood. You're really diligent in learning swordsmanship."

Ruan Mozhu smiled and said, "You flatter me. It's getting late. You should go home and get some sleep. If you have anything to say, come and talk to Jing Nan tomorrow morning." Xiao Hua said, "Okay, then I'll take my leave."

Ruan Mozhu was practicing swordsmanship alone in the courtyard. She was tired from practicing and was about to go back to her room when suddenly a masked man appeared in front of her. Ruan Mozhu shouted, "Who are you?" the masked man replied.

"You have such a good memory."

As he spoke, he charged forward and tried to kill Ruan Mozhu with his sword. Ruan Mozhu looked at the fierce-looking masked boy and felt that he was full of murderous intent and was not easy to deal with. Ruan Mozhu blocked the attack with the sword in her hand.

The masked man's sword was incredibly fast, and Ruan Mozhu felt increasingly outmatched. She began to fight and run. Wei Jingnan vaguely heard fighting sounds outside. He initially thought he was hallucinating, so he rolled over and touched the side of him, only to find it empty. He quickly opened his sleepy eyes, sensing that something was wrong.

Where did Mozhu run off to? He didn't even have time to put on his coat before running off to find her. Wei Jingnan heard the sounds of fighting more and more clearly, and it seemed like he heard her voice. Wei Jingnan ran closer and saw a man in black fighting with Mozhu. He saw that Mozhu looked very weak, so he quickly ran to the courtyard, grabbed Ruan Mozhu's sword, and said, "Mozhu, are you alright?" Mozhu said weakly, "I'm fine."

The man in black said, "Alright, another one looking for death. Then you'll all be buried with him." He then lunged forward. Wei Jingnan fought with the man in black, who, taking advantage of Wei Jingnan's distraction, turned to attack Ruan Mozhu. Wei Jingnan immediately thought, "This is bad."

Jingnan swiftly stepped in front of Mozhu, but in the blink of an eye, he was stabbed in the heart. Mozhu was stunned to see Wei Jingnan wounded by the sword. She immediately struck the man in black with a palm strike, without even thinking twice, since Wei Jingnan was already injured.

She did indeed force the man in black back with a single palm strike, and Ruan Mozhu quickly helped Wei Jingnan up from the ground.

"Wei Jingnan, Wei Jingnan, don't scare me! Wei Jingnan, you silly goose, don't scare me like that!" Ruan Mozhu felt genuinely frightened. You can't just stab someone in the heart like that! In ancient times, there was no modern surgery for these areas. If he damaged his heart, there would probably be no saving him in this ancient world.

So Ruan Mozhu was really worried. Looking at the weak Wei Jingnan on the ground, her vision blurred for some reason. She thought about how Wei Jingnan had been with her all this time, whether he had lost his memory or not.

He had always been by her side, and now he was actually sacrificing his life to save her. If he did, Ruan Mozhu would never have peace of mind, since it was all because of her.

"Wei Jingnan, Wei Jingnan, do you know I opened a Hope Primary School? There are so many children there, and we can raise them like our own children. They are so cute. You would be so happy if you saw them. Wei Jingnan, wake up! Hurry up! I haven't told you where I'm from yet. I live in a place called China." Ruan Mozhu said a lot, but she didn't know how it ended. It seemed that Xiao Hua chased away the man in black.

In the end, Wei Jingnan didn't bleed. Ruan Mozhu discovered that it was the Heart-Protecting Jade that had caused her to worry for nothing. So she took Wei Jingnan to bed and slept with him in her arms.

Wei Jingnan, you're so heavy.
