As the moon rose high in the sky, Mu Run carried Zhuang Zhuang, who was still unconscious, back to the long-missed Chongyi Hall.
It felt like a lifetime ago.
Everything was exactly the same as when she left.
Mu Run put Zhuangzhuang on the bed and let him continue sleeping, not knowing when he would wake up. But Fu Yunchen said he was fine, just a little uncomfortable after his body was separated from Wei Chengzhang's soul, and he would be fine after waking up.
"Go soak in a hot bath to relax, and then have some late-night snacks," Fu Yunchen said to Mu Run.
Mu Run asked, "And what about you?"
"I still have some things to take care of in the council chamber. I'll be right back when I'm done."
Mu Run looked at him, and after a moment replied, "Okay."
But after she finished washing up, wearing a refreshing and comfortable light green auspicious cloud and grass dress, and sat at the dining table waiting for him for a long time, he still didn't come over.
After confirming that he wouldn't be coming back, she drank a bowl of congee and went to find Zhuangzhuang to rest.
She thought that he probably still minded about Feng Que.
Because of Zhuangzhuang's unexpected incident, he temporarily put Fengque aside. Now that Zhuangzhuang is back, he's back to square one.
In reality, Fu Yunchen left Chongyi Peak and went alone to the depths of Chongyang Mountain.
The way the Chongyang Mountain God looked at him as he left bothered him greatly.
However, the Mountain God of Chongyang is not someone you can just meet whenever you want; it depends on whether he wants to see you. Otherwise, you might search the entire Chongyang Mountain and still not find the Mountain God's abode.
For an entire night, Fu Yunchen was unable to find that mirror-like calm lake.
Zhuangzhuang woke up.
Compared to before, it seems the same, yet somewhat different.
His pupils were darker than before, no longer so clear that one could see right through them; instead, they were like a fog, unfathomable.
"Zhuangzhuang, tell your mother... are there other people's memories in your memories?" Mu Run coaxed.
Zhuangzhuang shook her head. "No."
Mu Run looked into his eyes: "Really?"
Zhuangzhuang thought for a moment and obediently replied, "Mm."
"Then... if you suddenly have someone else's memories in your head, remember to tell your mother."
"Okay!" Zhuangzhuang nodded emphatically. "Mother, is this Chongyi Peak?" He looked around with his big eyes. He had never been here before, so he was very curious about everything.
Mu Run held his little hand and said, "Do you want to come up the mountain with Mommy? It's the season for picking autumn tea, so it should be quite lively up there."
"Picking autumn tea?" Zhuangzhuang didn't understand.
Mu Run picked him up. "Yes, this is what Mother likes the most."
"I want to go, I want to go."
"Let's change our clothes first."
Fu Yunchen, who was standing outside the door, listened to the conversation between Mu Run and Zhuang Zhuang, then turned and left.
It was his oversight. Her favorite thing was never being the ruler of the world, but rather this kind of simple tea ceremony.
...
Qiao Dongzi came to the study to find Fu Yunchen.
"Boss, we've investigated thoroughly. We've identified the mastermind behind those men in black."
"They must be those people from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom."
"Does the boss know?"
“The people over there have become increasingly arrogant in recent years. Last year, they claimed it was a poor harvest and only brought a few skinny horses and useless herbs. However, when they left, they took away a whole bunch of other things.”
"The eldest brother has devoted almost all his energy to his wife over the years. Now that she's back, it's time to get them in line."
"I was thinking of finding some excuse, but now they've handed me the key. You can draft a report later."
"Yes, boss."
