Mu Run: "...Why did Princess Xiao'an treat you and his child like this?"
Fu Yunchen said, "If you count the days, that child was conceived the day before I went to Wu Kingdom as an inspector to secretly investigate Prince Zhou. That night, she thought she was having a dream. And since we had made a three-point agreement, I was afraid she would be angry, so I didn't get to see her before I left."
Mu Run was completely numb... It wasn't a wet dream, that night was real, and she even got pregnant at the time!
She was once a mother?!
Mu Run was stunned, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She didn't even notice her own appearance at that moment!
Fu Yunchen looked at her, got up and left the private room, closing the door behind him.
The restaurant waiters were waiting near the private room to serve the guests. When they saw Fu Yunchen come out, they hurried over to attend to him, "Sir, what do you need?"
Fu Yunchen pointed to the private room next door, "Is it empty?"
"Yes, sir," the waiter replied. It wasn't mealtime yet, so there weren't many people, and most of the private rooms were still empty.
Fu Yunchen took out a piece of silver and gave it to the waiter, saying, "I'll rest there for a while, about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Don't disturb me."
"Don't worry, sir," the waiter replied readily after receiving his reward.
Fu Yunchen entered the private room and listened to the sounds coming from Mu Run next door.
After he left, Mu Run burst into tears, covering her face with her hands and sobbing... Although it wasn't loud, it sounded exceptionally heartbreaking.
Fu Yunchen closed his eyes, and his face was even paler than before!
"What should I do..." Mu Run's eyes were red, completely at a loss for what to do for that child she couldn't have. If she had known she was pregnant, she would never have agreed to the soul-transfer technique.
And Princess Xiao'an, why didn't she want him? Wouldn't that child be hers too?
Fu Yunchen knocked on the door and entered the private room, carrying a roast duck in his hand, as if he had just gone out to buy one.
"Why doesn't Xiao'an want your child?" Mu Run asked, her eyes bloodshot.
Fu Yunchen replied, "It was her own decision. Even though the imperial physician told her that if she chose to have an abortion, she might never be able to have children again in her life."
"Can't we have any more children?"
"Yes. She was poisoned by the Cold Palace Powder, a poisonous substance commonly used in the Imperial Hospital, also known as the Worry-Free Powder. Taking too much of it can cause infertility. Although Princess Xiao'an didn't have much Cold Palace Powder in her body, not enough to make her childless, an abortion would damage her health. The combination of the two would make it difficult for her to conceive again."
“Then she should have given birth to the child.” Mu Run twisted her hands together helplessly. “Of course, whether she wants to give birth or not is her freedom.”
Fu Yunchen glanced at her. "Freedom? Who gave her freedom?"
Mu Run: "...Sorry, I don't think I have anything to say about this."
Fu Yunchen walked to her side and patted her head. "It's alright, I was just venting. Just forget about it after you've heard it."
"How could I forget?"
That's her child!
"I don't know what to do?" What's lost is like water spilled; how can it ever be taken back?
Looking up at Fu Yunchen, she didn't hide the vulnerability and emotion in her eyes at this moment. Although reason told her she shouldn't expose herself like this, she wanted to know, "Did you ever have any expectations for that child?"
Fu Yunchen did not answer.
He simply raised his hand to cover her eyes, saying, "It's time to go."
