“Yong Li?” Fu Yunchen nodded. “When I came down the mountain, he wasn’t much older than Zhuang Zhuang. How do you know him?”
“He’s grown so tall now,” Mu Run laughed. “He’s not shorter than you at all.”
"You've seen him before?" Fu Yunchen raised an eyebrow.
"It was the day before the corpse general appeared in the palace. He sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night to find you and deliver an invitation. Meng Zhi is getting married on the tenth of the ninth month and wants to invite you back to the sect to attend the wedding."
"Sneaked into the palace?"
"Well, he lost the invitation, but Hongmi found it and gave it to me. Do you want to go to the wedding?"
"Let's take a look at the invitation first," Fu Yunchen said.
“If there’s nothing else, I think it’s best to go. I’ll keep an eye on things in the palace.”
"If I go, I will definitely take you and the children with me."
"Why?"
“You are my family,” Fu Yunchen said matter-of-factly.
Mu Run looked at him and hesitated before saying, "I have a question for you. Answer me truthfully."
Fu Yunchen had a gut feeling that this problem was probably very difficult.
"Do you feel that my body is no longer attractive to you?" Although intimacy is only one part of a marriage, it is indispensable. If it has ceased for reasons other than physical ones, it is very likely that there are problems in the relationship.
Aside from the day he first woke up, when they were intimate once, they never had any more intimate contact. Even when she hinted at it, he pretended not to know.
Later, when he mentioned Feng Que, she realized that he might already have someone else in his heart.
Even if that person is your reincarnation.
And it has already disappeared.
Fu Yunchen is a deep thinker and rarely expresses his true emotions directly.
Mu Run's question caught him off guard, and he stared at her in astonishment, "What did you say?"
Mu Run repeated, "Does my body no longer hold any appeal for you?"
Fu Yunchen's gaze changed, especially his purple eye, which he had been concealing with an illusion, was now fully revealed.
He restrained his desires from touching her because he was worried about her health. After she woke up, the imperial physician took her pulse and finally told her that she was very weak after sleeping for a long time. Even if she seemed fine, it would be best for her to rest for a while until she was fully recovered, which would be more conducive to conceiving an heir.
He was satisfied with having children, but her health was more important than anything else.
Mu Run initially asked the questions calmly, but as his gaze towards her changed, a sudden sense of shame rose from the bottom of her heart.
His face flushed slightly. "Fine, take it or leave it. I'll just think of you as a lunatic, talking nonsense."
He turned and hid inside the carriage.
Fu Yunchen hurriedly reached out his right hand to grab her, but as soon as he did, his gaze suddenly fixed on her!
The tiny red dot on his palm had grown larger!
After this topic came up, Fu Yunchen remained unusually silent on the way back.
Mu Run was already prone to overthinking, and now it only got worse; she didn't even want to get close to Fu Yunchen in private.
On the surface, she would still maintain a respectful and polite relationship with Fu Yunchen.
...
In the latter half of the day, their convoy arrived in the capital.
Sitting in the carriage, Mu Run said to Fu Yunchen outside, "You should go back to the Chongyang Prince's Mansion first."
Fu Yunchen paused, holding the riding whip. "Hmm."
Zhuangzhuang was a very sensitive child. Listening to Murun's words, she asked in a low voice, "Why don't you let Father go back to the palace?"
"Because there are still matters to attend to at the Chongyang Prince's Mansion."
"What's up?"
"Well... well, your father has a junior brother who came looking for him." Mu Run made up an excuse casually.
Fu Yunchen listened from outside without saying a word.
