The Queen sighed as she finished speaking, wondering where the princess had brought back a fool.

After questioning, it was learned that the mentally challenged man was brought out of the oriole plantation.

On that occasion, the princess accompanied court officials to inspect a jasmine plantation. After entering the plantation, she parted ways with the officials.

This orchard is very large, and it is currently the flowering season. The scenery in the garden is very beautiful, and the princess, accompanied by two attendants, is enjoying the flowers in the garden.

Unexpectedly, in the plantation, the princess encountered several scoundrels who were not from the plantation but were probably some local thugs.

The princess warned them, saying that she was a princess and that they should not misbehave.

The ruffians didn't believe it at all and went up to grope the princess and her two attendants. The princess had no choice but to flee with her two attendants, and the ruffians gave chase.

During the flowering season of the iris, it basically doesn't require much care, so there aren't many people working in the plantation at this time.

The princess fled desperately with two attendants, and just as they were about to be caught, a young man working appeared in front of them.

The princess and two guards rushed over, shouting for help.

The young man, who was working, looked up and saw several girls running towards him, with a few thugs chasing after them. He immediately understood what was going on.

The young man immediately stepped forward, letting the three girls pass and stopping the thugs.

Upon seeing this, the thugs immediately burst into laughter. "Who do we have here? It's just the plantation idiot. This idiot is meddling in other people's business. Beat him up!"

At this moment, the young man looked at the princess and shouted, "Xue'er, you guys run! I'll hold them off!"

The young man's words were incomprehensible to others, but the princess understood them.

The princess was fluent in multiple languages, and upon hearing this, she was stunned.

Several thugs approached the young man and began punching and kicking him. The young man did not fight back; he simply tried his best to stop the thugs from rushing past him.

Soon, the young man's face was covered in blood, but he did not fight back; he only desperately tried to stop them.

The princess and her two attendants were frantic and didn't know what to do. Just then, the princess saw some laborers and hurriedly shouted.

Several laborers rushed over and, upon seeing the situation, understood what had happened.

The laborer told the group of scoundrels that this was a princess who had come to inspect the plantation with court officials, and that they were all tired of living.

Upon hearing this, the thugs turned tail and fled in terror.

Seeing the thugs leave, the laborer went up to check on the young man who had been beaten. Seeing that his face was covered in blood, he said, "You idiot, aren't you supposed to be a good fighter? Why didn't you fight back? If you had fought back, dozens of thugs like you wouldn't have been a match for you."

A laborer standing nearby spoke up, "What's the point of saying this to an idiot? Do you remember when he first arrived, he fought with the owner's thugs?"

The thugs were beaten so badly by the idiot that their bones were broken and their bodies were torn apart. In a fit of rage, the owner tied the idiot to a big tree for several days, almost starving him to death.

From then on, the idiot never dared to fight again. He wouldn't fight back if anyone hit him, and he wouldn't dare say anything even if you shit on his head.

As the laborer spoke, he wiped the blood from the fool's face. Fortunately, the fool was not injured; only his nose was bleeding, and it wasn't a serious problem.

What had just happened had already unsettled the princess; she hadn't expected that this handsome young man before her was actually a fool.

What puzzled her even more was how the fool knew her nickname was Xue'er and even called himself her older brother.

The princess inquired about the fool's background from several laborers, wanting to know where he came from.

The laborers didn't know anything about the idiot; they only knew that he was bought by the plantation owner and that he had previously been a general.

However, judging from the idiot's physique and skills, this is still possible.

The fact that the fool had risked his life to protect her made the princess think a lot; perhaps he was destined to be with her.

According to the laborers, if the mentally challenged man continues to stay on the plantation, he will be bullied for a long time, and the outcome he will face will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, the princess decided to take the fool away and keep him by her side so that no one would bully him.

Next, the princess went to the plantation owner to ask him to take the fool away from the plantation.

The owner of the garden dared not say anything and had no choice but to agree to let the princess take the fool away.

And so, the fool followed the princess away from the plantation and arrived at the palace.

Upon arriving at the palace, the princess summoned the best royal physician to treat the fool. The princess guessed that he must have been healthy before he fell ill, and wondered what he had gone through to become a fool.

She wanted to cure his mental illness and restore his memory so that she could find out where he came from and, if possible, send him back.

After more than a year of treatment, the man's condition has improved considerably, and he is no longer mentally impaired. However, he can no longer remember what happened before.

He tried desperately to recall what had happened before, but he couldn't remember anything. If he tried to think about it too much, his head would throb with pain, and he dared not think any further.

At this point in the Empress's speech, Li Xue, unable to wait any longer, hurriedly asked:

"Your Majesty, what happened to the fool afterward?"

"From then on, the fool became the princess's bodyguard. Because the fool was highly skilled in martial arts and very loyal to the princess, he would protect her whenever she went out, which actually saved us a lot of trouble."

Another year passed, and one day the princess suddenly told us that she was going to marry the fool, which terrified us.

The princess is of noble birth, while the fool is at most a guard. Besides, we don't know his background or where he comes from.

The princess's decision was opposed by members of the royal family and civil and military officials.

Almost everyone advised the princess to give up her idea, but she was determined and would not change her mind.

From then on, the princess stopped eating and drinking and gradually became thinner, which terrified me. I then advised the emperor to agree to the princess's marriage.

The emperor presented the family rules and the teachings of the Holy Ancestor, rules set by the ancestors that no one was allowed to violate.

With no other options, the royal family decided to expel the fool from the Kingdom of Jindian, thus completely extinguishing the princess's hopes.

But the fool was grateful to the princess for saving his life. He did not want to leave the Kingdom of Jindian and decided to become a monk in a temple thirty miles away from the capital, never leaving the temple and never disturbing the princess.

Under these circumstances, the royal family had no choice but to agree. From then on, the fool secretly went to that temple and became a sweeping monk.

Eight years have passed since the fool became a monk at the temple. In those eight years, he has kept his promise and never left the temple. Apart from a few members of the royal family, no one knew that the fool had become a monk.
