After listening to Huanhuan and Tuantuan vividly describe the conversation between Cai Shi and Murun, Fu Yunchen remained silent for a long time.
The two little ones had no idea what their father was thinking. Intuitively, he didn't seem angry, and in fact, he seemed a bit strange.
Huanhuan: "Daddy, did you not understand?"
Tuantuan thought for a moment, "Hmm, maybe, let's say it again."
Huanhuan nodded, "Mhm."
Tuantuan mimicked Cai's tone, "Isn't the Princess wearing a high-necked dress?"
Upon hearing Tuantuan's words, Fu Yunchen quickly intervened, "No need, Father already knows. But this is a secret between you and Father, so please don't tell Mother, okay?"
Huanhuan, Tuantuan, and Qiqi responded, "It's a secret!"
Mu Run came over and overheard the word "secret," so he couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What are you three talking about behind my back?"
Huanhuan replied, "We can't tell Mother the secret we made with Father."
"What secret did you agree you couldn't tell me?"
"Don't tell Mother, and Mother, don't ask," Tuan Tuan said solemnly.
Mu Run looked at them, then at Fu Yunchen's doting smile, and said, "Alright, you two go out and play with Aunt Hong first. Mother and Father have something to discuss."
"good!"
"Let's go play with Aunt Hong!"
Tuantuan and Huanhuan ran out one after the other.
Fu Yunchen asked, "What is it?"
"Tell me first, what secrets do these two have with you?" Mu Run asked, somewhat curious.
Fu Yunchen said, "It's just a little secret about you, nothing much."
"You're talking badly about me?"
"No, not really."
"Forget it, I can't be bothered with those two little brats. Last night when I was sleeping, I felt like someone broke into the inner hall." I woke up in the middle of the night, still half asleep, and felt very safe with him around. Plus, I was talking about other things, so I forgot to mention it.
Fu Yunchen replied, "Someone broke in. Were you awake at the time?"
"My body has a very high level of instinctive vigilance. I will sense if anyone or anything with ill intentions towards me gets close."
“Yes, it was a palace maid who was ordered to assassinate you,” Fu Yunchen replied.
"Why is it another palace maid?" Hearing this, Mu Run almost developed a psychological aversion to palace maids, wishing she could keep all unfamiliar faces away from her.
Even if it's someone you recognize, you still have to be somewhat wary.
"Who exactly is the other party? Have you figured it out yet?"
"I understand. You know her too, and you do have some grudge against her."
Who is it?
"Xiao'an."
"Huh?" Mu Run looked like she hadn't heard clearly. "Who did you say?"
Fu Yunchen said, "Xiao'an, she is now a high-level corpse general, almost a corpse king."
"Ugh!" Mu Run swallowed hard, his face turning ugly. "How did she survive? Wasn't her body already reduced to ashes by you?"
Fu Yunchen looked at her and said, "She might be like you, with her soul able to leave her body and possess another body."
Mu Run: "...Then what should we do?"
"So far, all corpse generals have some special abilities. For example, the Empress Dowager's corpse general has the ability to become invisible."
What kind of special abilities does she have?
"What is already known is that it can change one's appearance."
"Huh? How do you catch her? She's even more powerful than invisibility." Anyone could be her, and she could be anyone.
Fu Yunchen replied, "Right now, we can only send Ziwu and Huihui, who are gifted enough to spot the corpse generals at a glance, to search for them. Huihui will search in the air, and Ziwu will search in the city."
