As night fell, she lay in bed, drifting in and out of sleep, occasionally waking up from nightmares, as if she could hear a baby crying in her ears.
My heart aches as if it's being squeezed shut!
...
One quarter before the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).
As Mu Run put on her soft armor and picked up her helmet, just as she was about to put it on, someone entered the tent.
Three lanterns were lit inside the tent, but their light couldn't illuminate his face.
In his hands, he held a bowl of herbal soup that emitted a pungent smell.
"The troops outside are all ready to go. Here's what you wanted." Fu Yunchen gripped the medicine in his hand tightly, but did not hand it to Mu Run.
Mu Run walked up to him, handed him the helmet, and looked at the bowl of dark, black medicine.
Fu Yunchen took the helmet. "You don't need to go."
Mu Run reached out to take the medicine.
But he didn't let go of her.
"This is a personal grudge!" Mu Run uttered four words!
Fu Yunchen's hand holding the medicine bowl trembled, and the medicine was snatched from his hand.
But then—
With a 'thud,' Mu Run threw the medicine bowl on the ground, splashing the medicine everywhere.
Fu Yunchen was stunned, and looked up at her in disbelief...
Mu Run said, "Now is not the time to drink it. We can brew a bowl after this battle."
He took the helmet from his hand, put it on without hesitation, and left the military tent.
Outside, Liu Xiaohuan was already dressed in military uniform, holding a sword. When she saw Mu Run come out, she quickly followed him.
Fu Yunchen's eyes were as deep and unfathomable as he stared intently at the broken medicine on the ground...
He whispered, "Run'er, I only know how to brew one bowl of this medicine! If you fall, there won't be any left!"
Even if it means fighting against the King of Hell, he will live until this child is born!
Nobody can hit him!
...
A massive warship with four stories high, capable of accommodating five thousand people.
Although not many people knew that Mu Run was pregnant, those who did were keeping a close eye on her, fearing that something might happen to her.
Qiao Dongzi said, "Sister-in-law, you have to think about the children. You just stay here and wait for our news."
Liu Xiaohuan also said, "This servant also thinks that Your Highness should prioritize the child. A woman who is pregnant should not endure any more hardship and travel. Besides, when the fighting starts on the battlefield, the killing intent rushes into the underworld, and the gates of hell are wide open. If some unclean thing comes out and crawls into Your Highness's belly, that would not be good."
"Huh?" Mu Run looked at Liu Xiaohuan in astonishment. "What kind of statement is this?"
Qiao Dongzi was also very surprised after hearing this. "This is the first time I've heard of the gates of the underworld opening on the battlefield. Let me hear it again."
"Haven't you heard about it?" Liu Xiaohuan had only heard it from her grandmother when she was little, and she thought everyone knew it.
"It's just a folk ghost story." Zhong Jiu had heard it before, but he only listened to it as a story.
Liu Xiaohuan said, "If something can be passed down for thousands of years, it must be more than just a rumor. I think there must be some lessons to be learned. At least we should be wary of it, which is probably the right thing to do."
Qiao Dongzi rubbed his chin, pondering, "That makes sense. Why don't you go back and wait for news, sister-in-law?"
Mu Run frowned. "I don't mind at all. Besides, if it really had an impact, there have already been several battles, big and small, and the outcome was already predetermined."
Qiao Dongzi turned his gaze to the person walking towards them and asked, "Boss, do you think we should send our sister-in-law to the battlefield?"
"If she wants to go, then let her go." Fu Yunchen glanced at Mu Run, his eyes like the darkness before dawn and the vibrant colors before dusk.
Mu Run was terrified. This guy... was she angry because she didn't drink the medicine he had painstakingly prepared?
