During his search for Feng Jin, Mu Beichen overworked himself, causing his internal and external injuries to flare up simultaneously. He fainted several times due to exhaustion, and Su Ruan eventually carried him back.
After returning to the Jingwang Mansion from Blackwater Cliff, Mu Beichen held a grand and luxurious funeral for Feng Jin. From then on, he fell ill and never recovered. He was in a daze every day, and his consciousness was always blurred. However, he kept calling out Feng Jin's name. Su Ruan took good care of him for more than a month, and he gradually recovered.
During this period, Hua Mancheng seemed to have suddenly disappeared. He did not appear at the Jingwang Mansion for a whole month until he heard the news of Feng Jin's death, at which point he rushed over without stopping.
When Hua Mancheng saw Mu Beichen again, she didn't even dare to go over and recognize him. The current Mu Beichen had completely lost his original dazzling appearance, and his whole person exuded a deathly aura from the inside out.
Hua Mancheng stared dumbfounded at Mu Beichen, who was curled up under the bed. He was still in shock. He never expected that such a big change would happen in the Jingwang Mansion in just a few days.
He composed himself, rushed over and helped him up from the ground, and quickly comforted him, "Achen, I have a feeling that the princess won't die so easily. How about we try our luck near Blackwater Cliff again when you're feeling better?"
Before the echo had faded, Mu Beichen suddenly perked up and stood up straight almost instantly, meeting Hua Mancheng's gaze.
His expression changed abruptly, his eyes becoming deep and bright.
Mu Beichen's withered heart was rekindled with hope.
From then on, he moved almost the entire Prince Jing's mansion to the vicinity of Blackwater Cliff, living every day at the place where Feng Jin was buried, because he always felt that Feng Jin was under this land. Apart from this place, he could hardly think of any other place in the world that was closest to her.
Because she once said that she was most afraid of living alone in the world, he moved his home here to be with her.
Mu Beichen would spend most of his time every day searching for Feng Jin, going from one end of Blackwater Cliff to the other, almost to the point of digging up the entire area within a hundred miles.
His intuition told him time and again that Feng Jin was still alive...
Later, he returned to the Jingwang Mansion and walked through all the places where Feng Jin had stayed. Before he knew it, he arrived at Jici Courtyard. When he saw the people gathered in the courtyard enjoying themselves, he immediately thought of how Feng Jin was busy at Jici Courtyard. She was a thin and small figure, but she seemed to have inexhaustible strength. She was proficient in all kinds of skills.
He initially thought this omnipotent woman had practically given him the whole world.
"Prince Jing, what brings you here?" An elderly man in his sixties noticed Mu Beichen's presence and hurriedly greeted him with a smile. "Didn't the Princess Consort come with you?"
Upon hearing someone mention this, Mu Beichen was speechless. He didn't know how to respond. He himself didn't even know whether Feng Jin was still alive.
"By the way, this dress was sewn by the Princess herself for the Prince. Because there were too many things to do at the Jici Hospital, she entrusted me to keep it for the Prince temporarily. Now that you are here, let's return it to its rightful owner."
As he took the snow-white robe from the old man and carefully examined the exquisite patterns on it, Mu Beichen's eyes welled up with tears. The hand that was tightly gripping the hem of the robe began to tremble violently against his will.
Until this moment, he finally understood something he had to admit: his Ah Jin had left him forever.
