The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1369: Mu Rongche is Different from Other Men

Mu Rongche’s brows and eyes conveyed intense seriousness as he told her, “You may take my life if you desire, but only on the condition that I must first ensure you are safely in Long Guan City, hidden under an assumed name, living a good life.”

Even if he were not present, no one could harm her again.

Chen Ruobai found his thoughts laughable, “My clan has lived in seclusion for so many years, and yet we were discovered, weren’t we? How long can I possibly hide?”

Was her unrivaled beauty truly useful when hidden away?

In this world, probably only Mu Rongche, that fool, felt he had wronged her, thus he carefully and tenderly protected her.

Chen Ruobai tossed his knife back to him, telling him huffily, “What I placed within you was not a venomous worm; it can unblock your meridians, allowing your legs to heal more quickly.”

She had no intention of harming him!

After she left, it was Mu Rongche’s turn to be stunned.

He unwrapped the plaster from his legs, set them on the ground, and tried to stand. To his surprise, he found that he could walk?

Were these worms so miraculously effective?!

Mu Rongche was overjoyed and rushed to where Chen Ruobai was, scooping her up and spinning her in a circle.

“Hey, don’t get too excited, you still need to rest your legs!” Chen Ruobai reminded as she grasped his face.

Mu Rongche was too happy to care, carrying her from the garden to the lakeside, and from the lakeside to the front hall. His cheerful laughter was unstoppable along the way.

He couldn’t explain why he felt so elated!

But he felt he was the happiest person in the world, holding in his arms a treasure of incomparable value!

“Mu Rongche, do you like me?” Chen Ruobai nestled in his arms and asked him one evening.

Mu Rongche’s face flushed slightly, “I should… suppose so.”

He was now twenty-three, unmarried, and had no experience with matters of the heart, so he wasn’t too sure.

But he remembered his mother, the queen, once saying that being with a lady and feeling immensely happy was an incredibly joyful experience. At such a moment, he would have fallen in love with her.

Chen Ruobai hooked her arms around his neck and planted a forceful kiss on him.

There were some things she’d been forced to experience early, some things she loathed and found utterly repulsive.

But with Mu Rongche, all her feelings were different.

She might feel a touch of pain, but it was from being with him.

He and all others who had ever bullied her were different.

He loved her.

But this love did not last long.

Mu Rongche’s older brother, jealous of his martial arts talent and social status, had long wanted to eliminate him. Learning that his legs had recovered, he quickly instigated the king to send Mu Rongche to the battlefield.

He genuinely wanted to bring Chen Ruobai with him, fearing she would be bullied if she left his side.

Chen Ruobai was also aware that none of the men in the Lian Hai Kingdom, except Mu Rongche, were worth anything. “I want to come to the battlefield with you, my worm arts can save you. I’ll disguise myself as a little soldier; please take me with you!”

“Alright,” Mu Rongche reluctantly agreed.

He thought to himself that after this battle, he would ask the king to arrange a marriage for him and Xiao Bai. Once she became his Princess, he wondered who would dare to covet her any longer.

But Chen Ruobai had not yet left the city gates when his mother, Queen Qiya, discovered him.

Queen Qiya berated him for his lack of judgment, daring to bring a woman into the military camp. If discovered, he would be severely punished by military law!

His life wouldn’t be spared!

Mu Rongche held Chen Ruobai’s hand and faced his mother with unequivocal determination, “Xiao Bai cannot remain in the capital. My brothers will surely storm the prince’s mansion and make things difficult for her. If I can’t protect her, I won’t go to battle!”

“You fool! If the prince’s mansion can’t protect her, can’t you trust your mother?” Queen Qiya caressed his face gently, “Promise your mother, go to war in peace, and I will look after her for you, ensuring she won’t be bullied. Wait until you return.”

“Really? Mother,” Mu Rongche’s eyes shone with hope. If his mother was willing to protect Xiao Bai, then he need not worry that she would suffer with him on the battlefield.

Chen Ruobai disliked Mu Rongche’s mother and clung to Mu Rongche’s hand, “I want to go to the battlefield with you.”

“Xiao Bai, be obedient. My mother will protect you as if you were her own daughter,” Mu Rongche comforted her earnestly, even promising her that he would return to marry her in at most half a year.

Chen Ruobai was still unwilling. Queen Qiya was not a kind person – when Chen Ruobai had first arrived in the Lian Hai Kingdom and was bullied, this woman, despite being present, merely observed her with cold indifference.

Now, she wouldn’t sincerely protect her for Mu Rongche.

Chen Ruobai told Mu Rongche this many times, but Mu Rongche always trusted his mother and left her in his mother’s care before he left for the battlefield.

As soon as he had left, Queen Qiya’s demeanor changed completely.

Her face dark and brooding, she scrutinized Chen Ruobai closely, noticing her breathtaking beauty.

Those exquisitely carved features, there was not a single aspect that did not deeply enchant.

Even she, a woman, could barely contain herself – what to speak of men?

A woman’s jealousy knows no age, especially when the beauty of another woman jeopardizes her son’s future.

Queen Qiya took her onto the carriage and returned to the palace from outside the city.

Chen Ruobai demanded, “I want to go back to his prince’s mansion, not the palace.”

She would not forget the humiliations she had endured previously in the imperial palace.

“Do you still think you have choices, thinking everyone must pamper you like my son?” Queen Qiya backhanded her with a slap.

Looking at her gorgeous face, unparalleled in the world, now reddened from the slap, Queen Qiya felt a rush of satisfaction.

But since Mu Rongche had just left, she feared this little enchantress would cause trouble, so she restrained herself and just locked her up in the palace.

Until a month later, when news of Mu Rongche’s first victory on the battlefield arrived.

The king congratulated Mu Rongche, declaring that he would be appointed Crown Prince, the next ruler of the Lian Hai Kingdom!

Queen Qiya was overjoyed.

Her son would, after all, inherit the realm!

But with it came the trouble that her son had eyes only for that little enchantress in her palace. Such a creature could never become the queen of this land. Decisive as she was, her murderous intent rose, and she ordered people to attack Chen Ruobai.

However, Chen Ruobai did not show weakness and managed to kill many around her with witchcraft, escaping from the imperial palace.

Wounded and scarred, she planned to find Mu Rongche on the battlefield, but before she could leave the capital, she was intercepted by Mu Rongche’s eldest brother, Mu Ronghuan.

He had coveted her for a long time!

Mu Ronghuan knew she was not easy to subdue and, being aware she was a witch, did not underestimate her. He suspended her in his mansion for three days until she was too exhausted to struggle before he accosted her.

Different from Mu Rongche, Mu Ronghuan was brutal and greedy; he forcefully took possession of her, further humiliating her from a position of power, “Did you think you could escape the capital? If the queen doesn’t take your life, I will. Be smart and behave, become my secondary consort…”

“Ah!!!” Before he could finish, he was struck by a severe pain.
