After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

"Dong Si, it's you." Rong Yingluo waved excitedly to the man downstairs. "Wait for me, I'll be right down."

When Rong Yingluo met an old friend, she couldn't miss the opportunity to catch up.

Yinghong immediately went to the shopkeeper and settled the bill for the two pieces of clothing.

Rong Yingluo hurriedly ran out of the silk shop, her appearance quite mismatched with the clothes she was wearing.

But she couldn't care less about that at the moment.

When they came to Dong Si, they saw that he had lost a lot of weight compared to before.

"Dong Si, why are you in a wheelchair? What happened to your legs?" Rong Yingluo's happy mood instantly plummeted.

"Little fairy, it really is you. There's an eatery up ahead, let's sit down and chat." Dong Si touched his leg, his bright smile fading slightly.

The two went to a restaurant not far away and asked for a private room.

It was lunchtime, and Dong Si asked his guards to order a few signature dishes and send them to the private room.

"It's only been two years since we last met, how did you get yourself into this state?" Rong Yingluo rarely had a friend like this, and she was very concerned.

The two met at the border.

Rong Yingluo went with her master to the border to rescue someone. One day, while out shopping, she was surrounded by a group of thugs who wanted to bully her. Outnumbered, she was in danger when Dong Si happened to come and help her out.

The two became acquainted through this encounter and later met again in the military camp.

During a battle, Dong Si was seriously injured and happened to be taken to the tent where Rong Yingluo was treating him.

Rong Yingluo did everything in her power to save him.

The two became each other's saviors and naturally became friends.

"A few months after you and Master Puyang left, the Beicang Kingdom invaded our Southern Xia border again. During a battle, I fell off my horse and have been unable to walk since." Dong Si didn't hide anything from her and gave a brief account.

"Alas! If I had known you would perish, I would have advised Master to stay a few more months," Rong Yingluo sighed.

She and her master went to the border in disguise. After her master cured the patient, he took her away. She did not leave him any way to contact him. If she had known that he was so badly injured, she would definitely have rushed to save him.

But more than a year has passed, and we don't know if there's any hope left.

"Are you from the capital? Judging from your attire, you must be from a noble family. Have you consulted the imperial physician?" Rong Yingluo continued to ask.

In the capital, the imperial physicians were probably the best. If there had been a chance of recovery and timely treatment, the patient wouldn't have ended up in a wheelchair.

"We've already consulted the imperial physicians, but they couldn't do anything either." Dong Si's eyes dimmed.

"Tell me your birth date and time. I'll calculate it for you." Rong Yingluo observed his face and thought it looked like that of someone of high status. How could he end up spending his life in a wheelchair?

Dong Si then gave his birth date and time. Rong Yingluo carefully calculated it.

"You do indeed have a tribulation in your life, but this tribulation will not come from fighting on the battlefield, but from the machinations of a villain." Rong Yingluo had considerable faith in her own divination. Although she was not as accurate as her master, she generally wouldn't make a mistake if she knew her specific birth date and time.

"What did you say?" Dong Si exclaimed in surprise.

No wonder!

He was fighting fiercely when an arrow flew from nowhere and wounded his warhorse, causing it to lose control in pain. He was also engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy general when the sudden turn of events caused him to fall from his horse.

Falling off his horse shouldn't have caused such serious injuries, but by sheer bad luck, he was trampled by an enemy general's horse, which landed right on his legs, rendering him unable to walk again.

Looking back now, it seems that someone deliberately caused him to suffer such a severe injury.

Who wants to kill him?

"Did you think of something?" Rong Yingluo noticed the sinister look in his eyes.

"Thank you for telling my fortune. I always thought I had fallen into the enemy's trap, but it turns out someone wanted to harm me. I will investigate this matter thoroughly." Dong Si already had a guess in his mind.

"Since we've run into each other, let me take a look. Perhaps I have a way to save you." Rong Yingluo didn't want her friend to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

"it is good."

Rong Yingluo immediately squatted down and carefully touched his legs, not missing an inch of the spot, and asked where the horse had stepped on them.

"It must be because the military doctors' skills were limited and they didn't fix it in time, which is why you can't walk like a normal person. Logically, the imperial physicians in the palace could have cured you; they just needed to break it and reconnect it. Why didn't they do that?" Rong Yingluo felt the location of the ailment.

Upon hearing this, Dong Si's eyes blazed with fury.

If he hadn't met the fairy today, he would never have imagined that someone was trying to harm him.

That's really great.

"Little Fairy, you can heal me, right?" Dong Si asked hopefully.

"Of course, what's our relationship?" Rong Yingluo replied without hesitation.

"If you save me, will it bring you death?" Dong Si asked with utmost seriousness.

"I will still save you." Rong Yingluo nodded firmly.

"Thank you." The gloom in Dong Si's eyes vanished instantly.

Fortunately, I met the fairy today.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The waiter brought in the food.

As soon as the dishes were served, Rong Yingluo's mouth watered; they were all her favorite dishes.

The dishes weren't very oily or meaty; Dong Si really understood her preferences.

They only ate one meal together at a small restaurant on the border, and he remembered her preferences.

When the waiter brought out the second round of dishes, voices came from the doorway.

Rong Yingluo glanced at the doorway unintentionally.

Upon seeing this, he froze.

The person outside the door also saw her; it was Gu Ce.

He had already taken his three-day leave. This morning he went to the morning court session, then to the Ministry of Personnel. At noon, his subordinates invited him to lunch here.

What a coincidence! He happened to see his newlywed wife having a secret rendezvous with another man right there.

The two of them just signed an agreement last night, and she will be his virtuous wife. Is that what she's doing?

Gu Ce's anger surged, but he remained outwardly calm.

He waved his hand, telling his subordinates to go to the private room first, while he himself came uninvited and stepped inside.

Only then did she realize who the man dining with Rong Yingluo was.

"Your subject, Gu Ce, pays respects to Your Highness the Fourth Prince." Gu Ce bowed.

"What? You're the Fourth Prince?" Rong Yingluo was shocked by Gu Ce's address.

Isn't his name Dong Si?

Isn't the royal family surnamed Yuwen?

"Small....."

Just as Dong Si was about to explain, he managed to utter only one word when Rong Yingluo disregarded everything, covered his mouth, and whispered in his ear, "Call me Miss Rong."

"Madam, how can you be so rude? Release the Fourth Prince at once!" Gu Ce's face darkened even more.

This woman is truly ignorant; how could she possibly act so recklessly towards the Fourth Prince?

Rong Yingluo chuckled dryly and removed her hand.

"Madam?" Dong Si's eyes widened in shock at Gu Ce's address. "Didn't you say you were unmarried?"

When they met, she was a young Taoist priest, so he never thought she would get married.

If he had known she would get married, he would have definitely fought for her.

"I... I had no choice. It was the Emperor who personally decreed this marriage; to refuse would be to disobey the imperial decree."

Gu Ce sensed something was wrong. What did she mean by not getting married? She clearly had a fiancé.

Dong Si took a deep breath, realizing who she was: "You're Gu Ce's newlywed fifth wife?"

"Yes." Rong Yingluo couldn't deny it in front of Gu Ce.

"Your Highness, are you very familiar with my wife?" Gu Ce could clearly tell that the two had not just met today.

If he hadn't known that she had a good relationship with her previous fiancé, he would have suspected that she admired the Fourth Prince.
