Chapter 212: Chapter 155: Thrown Out

The remaining five women watched anxiously from the side.

Their eyes were fixed on the woman who took the lead, silently speculating in their hearts.

If she succeeded, it would set an example for them, and they would know how to act in the future.

Therefore, they all widened their eyes, eager to see how the Prince would react.

Shen Ruoxi seemed not to notice the six women who had entered, her expression calm, as Chuntao and others attended to her washing and grooming.

But Jun Moling couldn’t shake the feeling that her eyes held a trace of schadenfreude, waiting for the show to unfold.

His anger was instantly ignited, and he was filled with extreme irritation.

He often sternly warned everyone at the Prince Mansion that once the Princess Consort was married, she was supreme, and everything in the mansion was subject to her discretion.

Yet on the morning after their wedding, someone dared to provoke her; it was simply courting death!

Jun Moling suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the collar of the woman’s neck, and with seemingly little effort, she flew out the door like a kite with a broken string.

With a piercing scream followed by a loud thud, the woman who prided herself on her beauty fell in an undignified heap, looking utterly pitiful.

Jun Moling’s voice was as cold as ice, “You should be grateful that this is my wedding’s second day, not a day for bloodshed, or you would have died a hundred times. As for the rest of you, Mi Yi.”

The remaining five women were frightened, their faces turning pale, each trembling uncontrollably.

Mi Yi hurried into the room with respect, “Master.”

“From now on, if they dare approach this room, beat them to death. Such unruly servants need to be taught the mansion’s rules by a nanny first, take them away,” Jun Moling said angrily.

The five women had no time to care about the woman thrown out, already scared out of their wits.

The Prince always held an extraordinary presence, like a dragon among men, yet his fierce demeanor spared no one, not even the women gifted by the Emperor.

The five women, with weak knees, stumbled out of the new red chamber, fearing to stay a moment longer lest blood be spilled.

“My wife, I want you to tie my hair,” Jun Moling’s voice carried a hint of grievance, as if seeking credit.

Shen Ruoxi shook her head helplessly, while the maids beside her were overjoyed, silently admiring the Prince’s might.

With the Prince’s resolute action this morning, none of those restless women would dare to cause trouble again!

Yet Nanny Deng frowned slightly; after all, these six women were gifted by the Emperor, and should the Emperor take offense, what would they do?

Jun Moling was in a great mood, his eyes fixated on Shen Ruoxi as she held a comb to tie his hair, his heart full, and his face displaying an unusually satisfied expression.

Once they were ready, Jun Moling took her hand and boarded the carriage.

Soon, the carriage started moving slowly, heading toward the Imperial Palace.

Inside the carriage, Shen Ruoxi nestled in Jun Moling’s warm embrace.

Her slender fingers gently fiddled with the buttons on his chest, eyes full of curiosity and doubt, she softly asked, “How did you know I was the little girl who saved you back then? We’ve never met, and we don’t look the same as before.”

Jun Moling tenderly caressed her head, his eyes filled with deep emotion, slowly said, “In the border city, I learned from your father.

Because he also had a Condensing Spirit Pill, he told me everything about you, those were the key points for me to confirm it was you.

Actually, during your wedding with Xiao Chengyi, I secretly returned to the Capital City to see you.”

“Ah!” Shen Ruoxi couldn’t help but exclaim, shock written all over her face.

She knew well the serious consequences of a military commander leaving the camp without permission.

Seeing her concern, Jun Moling continued, “At that time, the battle was stable, both armies were in a stalemate, and no reckless attacks were made.

Besides, my teacher cleverly used a double, so no one noticed.

Then, I had only one strong desire in my heart, which was to see what you had grown into, and then send you off to marry.”

Shen Ruoxi’s heart surged with a twinge of sadness, secretly thinking, “What a fool.”

He always felt guilty towards her, for letting her endure such torment.

Perhaps at that time, he had already resolved, that once the war ended, he would end himself to apologize to her.

If it weren’t for her patient persuasion, he would probably still be stuck in a quagmire of self-blame.

“Did you see me?” Shen Ruoxi blinked her bright eyes, full of expectation as she asked.

“Of course, I did. If I hadn’t seen you, I could at least comfort myself that I hadn’t fallen for a little girl of a few years old.

But just that fleeting glance made the emotions in my heart surge like a flood, impossible to suppress.

So when I learned that you and Xiao Chengyi had separated, I kept wondering, what exactly clouded his judgment, not to treasure someone as precious as you?”

Shen Ruoxi chuckled softly, “It’s not that his mind was clouded, but that we are destined to meet again, destined to be together.

Although there were some setbacks in this process, it was destined that you belong to me.”

Jun Moling smiled brilliantly, a smile that seemed to dispel all the gloom in the world, “Yes, destined that I belong to you, and you to me.

Ruoxi, from yesterday until now, I feel like I’m in a beautiful dream. Let me hear that sweet voice of yours.”

Shen Ruoxi, in truth, had never really forgotten that older brother in her memories.

Though she saved him back then, he also provided her with food and carefully tended to her when she was weary and exhausted. They shared warmth amidst adversity.

“Big brother.” Shen Ruoxi said sweetly with a smile.

However, Jun Moling seemed not quite satisfied upon hearing it. He bent down and gently planted a tender kiss on her forehead, “Try another.”

Shen Ruoxi’s lips curled slightly upward, her red lips parted gently, and she softly called, “Husband.”

Just those two words, yet they seemed to carry endless magic, so captivating.

Hearing this, Jun Moling felt extremely comforted, and couldn’t help but give her lips a couple of affectionate kisses.

His voice, hoarse yet full of deep emotion, called her, “Wife.”

Shen Ruoxi responded crisply, “Yes.”

They exchanged a smile, and in the intersection of their gazes, their affection was boundless, as if the entire world consisted only of each other.

The carriage arrived at the Imperial Palace, and they were led by palace maids to the Imperial Palace, heading towards the Empress Dowager’s chambers.

In front of the Empress Dowager, the two paid their respects with the utmost decorum.

The Empress Dowager sat in the upper position, looking at this beautiful couple below, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Everyone said she was a femme fatale, and it was indeed true.

The Emperor had once begged her in order to marry her, but she ended up marrying Prince Zhan.

Shen Ruoxi respectfully offered tea, and the Empress Dowager bestowed them with prosperity and happiness. After some conversation, they left.

After leaving, they proceeded to pay their respects to the Emperor before they could depart.

Upon boarding the carriage, Shen Ruoxi felt waves of drowsiness wash over her. Having slept very little the previous night, coupled with being worn out by Jun Moling, without any worries now, she felt especially sleepy.

Jun Moling gently embraced her, his eyes full of concern.

After all, he really did exhaust her last night, he softly said, “Sleep, I’ll wake you when we arrive.”

Shen Ruoxi nodded, suddenly recalling something, teased, “You mustn’t do that again.”

But Jun Moling asked knowingly, “Do what?”

Shen Ruoxi gently hit him, seriously saying, “Practicing abstinence, I’m a healer, I know best that indulgence can harm one’s health.”

Jun Moling chuckled deeply, gently kissed her forehead, and soothed, “Sleep tight, I’ll do my best.”

Though he said he’d do his best, he thought to himself, he was not satisfied yesterday, practicing abstinence would be unbearable.

Looking down at her with her tired appearance that even makeup couldn’t hide, Jun Moling pondered that he really shouldn’t wear her out like last night, there are many days ahead, taking it slow would be better.

Soon, her gentle breathing could be heard. Jun Moling, wanting her to sleep soundly, instructed the coachman driving, “Head to the countryside residence.”

“Yes.” the coachman answered.

All along the way, to prevent the jostling of the carriage from waking her, Jun Moling stabilized his body with Inner Strength.

No matter how the carriage jolted, Shen Ruoxi remained completely unaffected.

So when the carriage stopped, Shen Ruoxi only felt as if she had slept for a very long time, and slept extremely well.

Being carried horizontally, Shen Ruoxi instinctively clung to his neck, saying, “I’m awake, I can walk myself.”

“Let me carry you inside, if you’re still sleepy, continue to sleep.” Jun Moling said softly.

Shen Ruoxi saw that they had arrived at the countryside residence, thinking there were few people around, she let it be.
