Fu Yunchen looked at her, gently patting the curled-up Zhuangzhuang, his gaze gradually becoming gentle and calm.
"He's so thin." Mu Run used her spiritual power to transmit her voice to Fu Yunchen, while gently patting Zhuangzhuang's body, feeling all the bony bones she touched.
She raised Huanhuan and Tuantuan in Death Valley, and despite such dire circumstances, she managed to raise them to be healthy and chubby. Now, in the palace, with all sorts of delicacies and countless servants, she's raised a child like a refugee.
Thinking of this, she looked at Fu Yunchen with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
Fu Yunchen didn't dare to explain, because Zhuangzhuang was supporting the bodies of two people. Even though she was lying still, just maintaining her life took away most of Zhuangzhuang's daily food intake. The remaining small portion, besides maintaining her life, also needed to grow, so it was naturally difficult for her to gain weight.
"You're awake. With you by his side, he should gain weight quickly." Fu Yunchen walked over and picked Zhuangzhuang up from Mu Run's side.
Mu Run frowned. "What?"
"..." Fu Yunchen paused, "Don't you want to get out of bed and move around a bit?"
Mu Run took Zhuangzhuang from his arms again, placed him on her inner side, and covered him with the blanket. "You don't need to take him away."
Fu Yunchen: "...You like him?"
Mu Run rolled her eyes at him. "Nonsense! What mother doesn't love her own child?"
"Even if he caused your death?" Fu Yunchen asked solemnly.
Without a second thought, Mu Run replied, "Yes! Even if he made me go to the underworld. Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I'm thirsty, get me a glass of warm water."
"Okay, wait a moment." Fu Yunchen immediately went to pour water for Mu Run.
While he was pouring water, Mu Run carefully examined Zhuang Zhuang's eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands, and feet, and even the skin on his body and the "little elephant" under his underwear.
After confirming that there were no deformities or abnormalities in his appearance, he said, "Thank goodness, he's fully developed."
Fu Yunchen, holding his water glass, witnessed the entire examination process and was momentarily speechless...
"Is he mentally sound? Does he speak normally?" Mu Run asked Fu Yunchen, taking the water and slowly sipping it.
Fu Yunchen replied, "No problem, he's doing very well. He could already recite the Thousand Character Classic from memory when he was five years old."
"Oh? He's quite smart. Huanhuan studied for almost half a year before she could memorize the Thousand Character Classic, let alone write it." Mu Run was finally relieved and sighed, "Sigh! You have no idea how worried I was during the entire pregnancy, afraid that he wouldn't develop normally. If he had a physical disability or cerebral palsy, it would ruin his life."
Although Fu Yunchen didn't like the child who was the reincarnation of the Corpse King, he couldn't deny that the child was indeed smarter and more talented than Huanhuan and Tuantuan. "He has a photographic memory; he's quite talented."
“He takes after you in that respect, and he looks more like you.” Mu Run’s gaze shifted between Zhuang Zhuang and Fu Yunchen. “He looks more like you than Huanhuan and Tuantuan. No… I really need to get up and move around; my body is practically frozen solid.”
She handed the water glass back to Fu Yunchen and was about to get up.
Fu Yunchen placed the water glass on the tatami table and carefully helped her up.
Although Mu Run's body was nourished by the spiritual energy brought back from her soul, it hadn't been used for several years, and her muscles were almost gone, so she naturally felt somewhat powerless.
Finally, with Fu Yunchen's help, she walked for a while like a child learning to walk before she could control her movements on her own.
