I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Jun, still shaken, straightened up and looked in the direction of the sound.

When he saw who was sitting in the main seat, he blinked hard a few times in fright, then took a few steps back and turned to look at Ling Jiawei.

"This...he..."

Lan Zhi stepped forward at this moment and said with a soft smile:

"It's only been a few months, and you've already forgotten him? Weren't you just standing up for him?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jianning walked over, completely bewildered, while Tang Jun pointed at him in surprise.

"You...your legs...how...can you walk?"

Wei Jianning then realized that Tang Jun was unaware that his health had returned to normal.

He approached him, opened his arms, and after showing off his healthy physique, nodded to him.

"Yes, I can walk now, I'm a normal person now."

Tang Jun seemed unable to believe what he was seeing. He secretly pinched his arm, and when he felt the pain, he realized that this was not a dream, but real.

He looked at Wei Jianning in surprise, then scanned the room, before nodding as if suddenly understanding.

"Mo Ning, how did you and Lan Zhi end up in the Crown Prince's residence? You know, I used to suspect that Lan Zhi had harmed you and then married you off to some wealthy family as a concubine."

"How dare you! You must not be disrespectful in front of the Crown Prince."

Yuan Tianxiong's shout startled Tang Jun, who then looked at Wei Jianning.

He said...the Crown Prince?

Wei Jianning nodded.

"Yes, but we're old acquaintances, so you don't need to bow."

"what!"

Tang Jun seemed startled by the scene before him. He cried out in surprise, then took a few steps back, looking at the person in front of him in a panic.

"What...what's going on? How did you become the Crown Prince? How is this possible?"

Xiangxiu then stepped forward to explain.

"Scholar Tang, you're not mistaken. This isn't a dream. The two people standing in front of you are the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, Tang Jun's eyes showed even more surprise.

Ling Jiawei stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"At first, I felt like I was dreaming, just like you, but it's real. Everything you're seeing is real."

At this moment, Lan Zhi looked at Wei Jianning and stepped forward to say:

"There's something I didn't have time to discuss with you before making a decision on my own. You won't be upset with me, will you?"

Having not seen Lan Zhi for three days, Wei Jianning missed her dearly. However, when he returned, she was not at home. He overheard the servants telling him about what had happened in the mansion over the past few days, and he learned that Lan Zhi had appointed Ling Jiawei as the mansion's steward.

He naturally had no objection to this.

He nodded.

"I know about your decision to appoint my elder brother as the steward. You can decide on matters concerning the manor; I have no objections."

Lan Zhi smiled slightly and said in a consultative tone:

“It’s not just about my elder brother. Tang Jun only got third place in the imperial examination, just like my elder brother. He wants to stay in the capital, but he can’t find a suitable job. I was thinking that our household is short of an accountant, so why don’t we let him do it? What do you think?”

Without a second thought, Wei Jianning nodded.

"Don't ask me about such trivial matters, just do what you think is best."

Seeing how much he doted on her, Ling Jiawei smiled contentedly. Before Tang Jun could react, Lan Zhi waved her hand and gave an order:

"Aqi, Xiangxiu, arrange accommodations for Tang Jun, then show him and his elder brother around the mansion, and let the servants in the mansion get to know them."

Ah Qi and Xiang Mang nodded in agreement, and then led the two of them out.

Yuan Tianxiong tactfully withdrew.

Only when the two of them were left alone did Lan Zhi turn to look at him.

"Are you done with things at the military camp?"

He let out a soft sigh and nodded.

"Yes, the military camp is in a mess, all because of the bad habits left over from before. I've been there for a few days to clean things up and I'm seeing initial results. We'll take it slow and steady from now on!"

"Oh, right, there's something I want to tell you."

Seeing her serious expression, Wei Jianning was a little scared. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, shaking his head repeatedly.

"Lan Zhi, I will grant you any request you make, but you are not allowed to leave me. If you want to leave, I will give up the position of Crown Prince, I will give up everything, and I will go with you."

His tone was tinged with bitterness, which sent a shiver down her spine.

She nestled in his arms, shaking her head vigorously.

"That's not what I wanted to say. What I wanted to say was, didn't you promise me you'd give me a grand wedding? When are you going to do that?"

Wei Jianning seemed not to understand her, blinked twice forcefully, then pushed her away from his embrace, gripped her shoulders with both hands, and looked at her affectionately.

"what did you just say?"

Lan Zhi's lips curved slightly, revealing a serene smile.

"I said, you owe me a proper wedding. I'm the Crown Princess now, I can't just leave it all unnoticed!"

"Really? You mean it?"

Clearly, Wei Jianning was very excited upon hearing Lan Zhi's words.

Lan Zhi nodded with a serious expression.

"Yes, I have decided to stay and accompany you, to be your Crown Princess, and to stay with you until the end of my life."

"Lan Zhi..."

He was so excited he almost cried. He pulled her into his arms again, his eyes half-closed, his hands patting her back repeatedly, murmuring something to himself.

"This is wonderful, you know? I've wanted to come back several times these past few days, but I didn't dare. I was afraid you would tell me you didn't want to stay here, that you wanted to leave, that you wanted a free life. I was really scared..."

She raised her hands, wrapped them around his waist, hugged him tightly, and shook her head in his arms.

'I'm not leaving; this is my home.'

Although she stayed because she was unwilling to accept the situation, she still had feelings for Wei Jianning.

He nodded repeatedly, unable to hide his excitement.

"Great, that's wonderful, Lan Zhi. I'm so happy. The Ministry of Rites has arranged my investiture ceremony for me on the eighth day of next month. I was thinking of coming back to discuss it with you and holding our wedding together, but I was afraid you wouldn't be happy. I didn't expect you to agree."

She looked up at him and gave him a tender smile, and his heart began to pound wildly with her smile.

He licked his lips, finally unable to resist raising his hand to cup the back of her head, while his other hand encircled her waist, gazing at her with tender, watery eyes.

Suddenly, he placed his lips on her forehead, her eyes, the tip of her nose, and finally on her red lips.

She instinctively placed her hands on his chest, breathing slowly, and tilted her head back to meet his passionate kiss.

His kisses changed from gentle to domineering, even giving the feeling that he wanted to meld her into his body.

They seemed to have used all their strength in that kiss, as if they had forgotten where they were, until Wei Jianning picked her up in his arms, at which point she shook her head in astonishment.

"In broad daylight, you can't..."

Wei Jianning's face turned bright red, his whole body was burning up, and he was breathing heavily.

His eyes were fixed on her as if they were about to burst into flames, and he pleaded in a hoarse voice.

"Lan Zhi, I can't wait any longer, give it to me..."
