"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Yun Ruji asked.
Hongmi followed Long Qian, who was behind Yun Ruji, and said, "Corpse people have been discovered in Yingzhou."
Yun Ruji asked in surprise, "Why have the corpses reappeared?"
"Shall I go take a look? And then I'll head back to Yunlong Mountain. From now on..." Long Qian looked into the hall, "I probably won't need to be a substitute anymore."
Yun Ruji nodded and stretched. "Well, I should get ready to go back too."
"Is Auntie leaving?"
"I came here for you. Now that you have successfully evolved into a Spirit Race, I have achieved my goal."
"What about my brother?"
"His destiny is beyond my ability to help. But you must keep a close eye on Huanhuan. When she evolves in the future, don't be careless. Her aptitude is exceptional."
“I know.” Long Qian looked at Yun Ruji, then suddenly opened his arms. “Let’s say goodbye here.”
Yun Ruji patted his chest first, then hugged him. "I'll be waiting for you on the continent of Aoshu."
As Hongmi listened to their words, her eyes kept glancing towards the direction of the hall.
Long Qian noticed her subtle movements and said, "Go in and take a look. Your empress is about to wake up."
"What?" Redmi's eyes lit up with ecstasy, and in the next instant she took off running into the hall, not caring about the rules anymore.
When she went inside, Mu Run was still absorbing the memories in the memory bead and had not yet truly awakened.
Fu Yunchen stood by her side, watching the color changes of the memory bead between her lips and teeth.
Seeing that Hongmi had arrived, he said, "Go and tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some soup or porridge that she likes."
"Yes. Sister-in-law will really wake up this time, right?" Hongmi's eyes shone brightly, full of hope.
Fu Yunchen looked at Mu Run on the bed, his hands still clenched into fists, waiting anxiously. "She's back, and she's reading the memories from the memory bead."
...
Night fell, and the sound of insects chirping came from outside the window.
Huanhuan, Tuantuan, and Zhuangzhuang, the three children, waited for Murun to wake up, but even by midnight, Murun still did not respond.
They didn't want to leave, so Fu Yunchen let them lie on the bed and sleep with Mu Run. He sat on the cool couch, reviewing official documents while watching over the four of them, feeling extremely satisfied, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on his thin lips.
After he had finished approving all the accumulated official documents, he looked up at the bed again.
Huanhuan is a restless sleeper; she's rolled to the foot of the bed now.
Tuantuan lay obediently on her pillow, her little blanket neatly tucked in. Zhuangzhuang, on the other hand, curled up into a small ball, snuggling against Murun, like a vulnerable young animal.
Fu Yunchen looked at them, and finally his gaze fell on Zhuangzhuang.
After a moment, he rubbed his temples, slowly closed his eyes, and pretended to doze off.
And just after he fell asleep, the memory bead between Mu Run's lips and teeth suddenly changed from a deep color to a white, transparent, hollow shape.
Then, the eyes that had been closed for six years opened.
At first, they weren't used to the light from the candle entering their pupils and reflexively closed them.
It took several attempts before it finally opened its eyes completely.
There were three children lying on the bed, and next to her was a little boy she didn't recognize.
Fu Yunchen was also asleep on the cool couch next to the bed.
Mu Run raised her somewhat weak hand and touched the little boy who was close to her, her eyes full of maternal tenderness.
"Awake?" Fu Yunchen's voice suddenly rang out.
Mu Run looked up at him and gently shushed him, telling him not to speak.
---Aside---
Good night~
