"Achoo—" Mu Run suddenly sneezed.
Fu Yunchen was reading reports of strange disasters from various places when he heard Mu Run sneeze. He immediately dropped the report in his hand and rushed over to take her pulse. He found that her pulse was very fast and frowned, "Your heart is beating so fast."
Mu Run: "...I just sneezed, my nerves were excited, and my heart rate increased briefly, which is normal. Don't be so alarmed, you're scaring me half to death."
Mu Run's heartbeat quickly returned to normal, and Fu Yunchen was relieved. "It's good that you're alright."
Mu Run knew that this was his first time taking care of a pregnant woman, so it was understandable that he was nervous. Moreover, the level of importance he placed on this child was beyond her expectations.
Perhaps he was worried about her being drugged before, but he never said anything.
"If you have time, could you think of a name for him?"
"Name?" Fu Yunchen suddenly froze.
Mu Run nodded, "I named Huanhuan and Tuantuan, you can name this one. Prepare one for a boy and one for a girl. Although Huanhuan and Tuantuan dreamed of a little brother, who knows, it might be a little sister."
Fu Yunchen looked at her round belly, which clearly showed signs of pregnancy, his eyes filled with deep affection, and softly replied, "Okay."
Liu Xiaohuan entered the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, General Bai and General Qiao have gone to a brothel."
"Huh?" Mu Run exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible? The two of them..."
She looked up at Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen remained calm and asked, "Who sent back the message?"
“It was a palace maid who went out to buy supplies; she saw it with her own eyes,” Liu Xiaohuan replied.
Fu Yunchen said, "Go and bring her here. I want to handle this personally."
Liu Xiaohuan accepted the order and left.
But they didn't come back for quite a while.
Mu Run frowned. "Has something happened?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xiaohuan returned and knelt on the ground. "That palace maid has disappeared, and the Imperial Household Department said that no palace maids left the palace today. They also won't let palace maids leave the palace to buy things for the Imperial Household Department. Unless it's a head palace maid on the orders of her master, but there are only a few head palace maids in the palace, and none of them have left the palace."
Fu Yunchen chuckled softly, but it sent chills down one's spine. "Can you draw what that palace maid looks like?"
"Okay." Liu Xiaohuan has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since elementary school.
Before long, a portrait that looked exactly like the palace maid was drawn.
It turned out to be the palace maid who entered the palace shortly after Fu Yunchen and Mu Run returned.
"Ask the palace guards if they've seen this palace maid come in or out," Fu Yunchen said to Liu Xiaohuan.
"Yes." Liu Xiaohuan left immediately.
Mu Run said, "Why don't we conduct a blood test within the palace? After all, the blood of a corpse is clearly different from that of a living person. Also, palace servants can have their blood tested when they enter or leave the palace."
Fu Yunchen looked at her and smiled, saying, "This method is excellent. Someone—"
Lady Cai entered the palace. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Take a squad of palace guards and gather all the palace staff in the open space in front of Guanghua Hall. Not a single one is to be left out. Anyone who refuses or disobeys orders will be killed without exception!"
"Yes!" Madam Cai's expression hardened, and she bowed and left.
After watching Cai leave, Mu Run recalled the incident of Qiao Dongzi and Bai Shalu going to the brothel.
"Really? Those two really went to a brothel?"
"They must be investigating something. You forgot, Yu Shan also disguised herself as a prostitute to infiltrate the Chongyang Army."
