Fu Lu raised his hand and grasped the spiritual energy in it. "Do you want me to favor her?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Mu Run replied inexplicably. "However, to be honest, I don't recommend you do this either. As the saying goes, one should not covet one's brother's wife. That way, you can meet Jiang Hongyuan in the afterlife."
Fu Lu's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they had already returned to the bustling courtyard.
Mu Run withdrew her spiritual power and opened the door.
Fu Lu walked to the door and said, "Jiang Hongyuan never knew until his death that I was his half-brother."
Mu Run stepped slightly aside, inviting him into the room: "Although such surrogacy is extremely rare, it's not unheard of. Does Emperor Wende know about it? When you met him, did he have any suspicions?"
“Only he himself knows the truth.” Fu Lu thought of the look in Emperor Wende’s eyes when he looked at him, and figured that the emperor had realized he wasn’t Jiang Hongyuan. But he had verified Jiang Hongyuan’s bloodline, and it was indeed his son, so his twin brother must be too.
"Get some rest, you have to go to court early tomorrow morning." Mu Run raised her hand and yawned, she was also a little sleepy. Then she took out an exquisitely crafted, diamond-encrusted, luxurious round bed from her spatial storage. On the thick, round mattress was a silky pink feather comforter and a large, fluffy rabbit pillow.
Since confronting Fu Lu, she no longer hides anything and freely takes things from her spatial storage.
Seeing Fu Lu staring at his bed, Mu Run smiled and said, "Want to try it? It's definitely not the same as your hardboard bed."
"No, no need." Fu Lu hurriedly walked towards the canopy bed.
Mu Run took off her outer clothes, revealing her thermal underwear underneath, then lifted the covers and crawled inside. She took off her thermal underwear as well, and rolled around naked under the covers, feeling incredibly comfortable.
Fu Yunchen, lying on the canopy bed next to him, was facing inwards. He listened to the rustling sounds coming from Mu Run's side. The images on the computer flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt hot all over, unable to fall asleep at all.
With a flick of her finger, a burst of spiritual energy extinguished the candles. Mu Run wrapped herself tightly in the blankets and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Fu Lu kept his eyes open and didn't fall asleep until dawn.
...
A knock sounded on the door. "Your Highness, it's time for court."
Fu Lu hadn't slept all night, and apart from being mentally exhausted, he didn't show any outward signs of fatigue.
Mu Run was woken up and poked his head out from under the covers. "Today's court meeting is probably not that simple. Be careful and speak as little as possible."
"Hehe, why don't you come to court with me?" Fu Lu said with a smile, and dressed himself.
Mu Run sized him up; tall and slender, quite impressive.
With a flick of his finger, a ray of light landed on the jade belt at his waist. "I'll take this with me and sleep a little longer. I'll look at it when I wake up."
“Okay.” Fu Lu looked down at his jade belt, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
Mu Run yawned and shrank back under the covers.
As Fu Lu was leaving, he tucked the blanket around her, and the touch was so soft and delicate, it was definitely not an ordinary item.
That man must have doted on her a lot...
Suddenly, something seemed to flash through his mind... but when he tried to examine it closely, it vanished without a trace.
...
Mu Run woke up not long after that.
She didn't get up immediately, but instead sent her spiritual consciousness to Fulu.
Just then, I overheard the officials in the court congratulating Fu Lu on becoming the crown prince!
Fu Lu sensed Mu Run's spiritual awareness and silently stroked the jade belt.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! You're one step closer to your goal," Mu Run transmitted telepathically.
"Pack your things, I'll send someone to fetch you to the palace," Fu Lu replied.
Mu Run asked in surprise, "Me, going to the palace?"
Fu Lu replied, "Someone wants to see you."
Mu Run's mind raced. "Your mother? Or His Majesty?"
Fu Lu: "...See you all."
