Fu Yunchen's breath hitched. "Have you thought this through?"
Suddenly, Mu Run slipped away from his embrace like a slippery fish, "Hehe~ just kidding."
Fu Yunchen was not one to be easily swayed, so he immediately told the palace maid guarding the door, "Tell Granny Cai to take the little prince to eat and not to disturb His Majesty's rest for the time being."
"Yes." The palace maids immediately withdrew.
Mu Run: "Ah, I... um~"
They shot themselves in the foot!
...
"No man can resist the charm of his sweetheart. If he remains unmoved by your charm, then he's truly doomed," Mu Run said to the blushing palace maids, rubbing her lower back.
Lady Cai handed her a bowl of nourishing soup, saying, "Your Majesty, even if you're testing the Lord, please take it easy. Your health is precious."
Mu Run finished the soup in one gulp and replied, "Who knew he would be so impatient, not even waiting until it gets dark? But it also proves that he cares about me."
"It has always been His Majesty who has been saved." Lady Cai, an observer with clear insight.
"But he was indeed quite cold to me a few days ago."
“That’s perfectly normal. Men are bound to be distracted when they have something on their minds. Perhaps Your Majesty could inquire about the Prime Minister and see if he has any worries. My husband, for example, seemed quite anxious the other day. What do you think he was thinking about?”
What are you thinking about?
"He was actually worried that if Tian Tian married a son-in-law in the future, he might end up like Yao Yao's scumbag ex-husband. What if she didn't get married at all?"
“…Hahahaha.” Mu Run couldn’t stop laughing. “That’s thinking way too far ahead.”
"Who says otherwise? Besides, Tian Tian has already been betrothed to Madam Qiao. Tian Tian and the second son of the Qiao family are childhood sweethearts. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be family in the future."
"What was the name of the second son of the Qiao family again?"
"Qiao Ruilin, everyone calls him by his nickname 'Wooden Head'."
"Wood...it can't really be that wooden, can it?"
"Not at all dull, as clever as a monkey."
"That's good. I'll go to the academy to see this child another day."
"The children raised by Lady Qiao are all quite good, not one of them is bad." Madam Cai was very fond of the second son of the Qiao family. "So, sometimes what troubles a man is just a trivial matter, but it is treated as a major issue. Your Majesty can also ask the gentleman, what is there between husband and wife that cannot be discussed?"
"Hmm, I'll ask him when I have the chance. I think it's been so long, he should be able to tell me by now."
Mu Run chatted with Madam Cai for a while longer, then the imperial physician came over to check her pulse.
After taking the emperor's pulse, the imperial physician knelt down before Murun with a beaming smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are two months pregnant with the emperor's child."
"What did you say?" Mu Run was stunned.
"Your Majesty is already two months pregnant with the imperial heir."
"Really?!" She had only been awake for a little over two months... but on the day she woke up, Fu Yunchen couldn't control himself and took her. The success rate couldn't be that high!
"I guarantee this with my own head." The imperial physician thought she didn't believe him.
Mu Run raised his hand. "Imperial Physician Lu, please get up. It's not that I don't trust your medical skills, but I feel that this is too fast."
"Your Majesty is in the prime of your life, so it is quite normal for you to conceive. From now on, Your Majesty should pay more attention to rest and avoid overworking yourself, and avoid exhausting your energy."
"Alright." Mu Run said to Cai Shi, "I will reward Imperial Physician Lu with a thousand taels of gold, five kinds of precious medicinal herbs, which he may choose from the medicine storehouse, and ten bolts of brocade."
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!" Imperial Physician Lu hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude.
