Fu Yunchen stood outside the hall, his face ashen, utterly powerless!
Hongmi emerged from the palace, carrying the newborn prince, her face beaming with joy. "Eldest brother, sister-in-law has given birth to a prince!"
A prince?! Fu Yunchen looked up at the baby in the swaddling clothes. The baby was small and frail, but the baby's cries were deafening.
This is not his prince, this is Wei Chengzhang!
Fu Yunchen raised his hand to strangle him, but when he touched his delicate body, his grab... turned into a caress!
"How is she?" Fu Yunchen asked about Mu Run's condition, his eyes looking at the child but without a trace of warmth.
Hongmi felt that Fu Yunchen was acting strangely, but she still answered truthfully: "My sister-in-law is fine. She is currently giving birth to the placenta."
"I want to see her!" Fu Yunchen said as he rushed into the hall.
Just then, they heard Cai's startled cry from inside, "Your Majesty—Your Majesty—wake up!"
Mu Run didn't know what was wrong with her. She had a smooth delivery, so why did she suddenly start bleeding heavily and everything went black?
"Sister Cai, I...I can't see anything." She knew it was daytime; she had just heard Hongmi ask someone to write down the little prince's birth date: 1:15 PM. It was still early before dark.
Fu Yunchen's voice suddenly rang out, "Go get the elixir!"
Then came the sound of Cai's hurried footsteps fading into the distance.
"Run'er! Run'er! You can't be hurt, you absolutely can't be hurt!" Fu Yunchen's hands were ice-cold as he knelt in front of Mu Run's bed, took her hand, and tears fell as soon as he glanced at the postpartum quilt.
That's almost the entire blood volume of a person!
Mu Run roughly knew what was going on; he was probably going to die.
I never expected that an acute hemorrhage would occur...
She handed the memory bead she had been holding in her hand to Fu Yunchen, saying, "Here, take this. I was holding it the whole time I was giving birth, intending to record my memories of childbirth. But I never expected... if I ever get reborn again, remember to give it to me."
"No, you won't!" Fu Yunchen's hot tears fell onto her hand.
Mu Run felt his tears and felt an unparalleled tenderness in her heart.
Madam Cai handed the elixir to Fu Yunchen, weeping uncontrollably.
Fu Yunchen immediately gave Mu Run the elixir.
Hongmi came over carrying the little prince, seemingly unable to accept how things had suddenly turned out this way... she was completely stunned.
The little prince was crying loudly, as if he were mourning a death.
Upon hearing the baby's cries, Mu Run turned her face towards the sound. "Quickly comfort him. Luckily, I just caught a glimpse of him. He's a very handsome little boy, even more handsome than Huanhuan and Tuantuan were when they were born."
Fu Yunchen didn't want to look at him at all, and even felt a trace of hatred deep in his heart!
At that time—he just needed to brew another bowl of abortion medicine!
"What's his name?" Mu Run asked Fu Yunchen. She had already told him about the name, and it should be decided by now.
Fu Yunchen didn't even look at the little prince, and told her the name he had prepared long ago, "Mu Wenhui, meaning 'a kind heart and gentle nature'."
"Mu Wenhui, Mu?" Mu Run asked in surprise.
"He takes your surname."
"……Why?"
“Two have already followed me.” Fu Yunchen looked at Mu Run’s increasingly pale face; the elixir had no effect at all.
"It sounds a bit like a girl's name."
"It doesn't matter if it's for men or women, as long as it suits you."
"What's your nickname? Have you chosen one yet?"
"Name her Zhuangzhuang, just like you wanted before."
"Yes, it sounds like 'strong and robust' in Chinese. But let's change his surname to Fu. I don't want him to feel that he's any different from his older brother and sister."
“…Fine.” Indeed, he didn’t deserve to take her surname!
Mu Run raised her hand to stroke Fu Yunchen's face, picturing his appearance in her mind. "If you remarry, you must find someone who treats them well. No, you'd better not marry. Just consider me selfish."
"Then don't leave me, or else I..."
“Fu Yunchen, I love you!” Mu Run interrupted him, “With you, my life has been worthwhile…”
Her hands fell limply to her sides, and her body instantly flattened out!
Fu Yunchen closed his eyes, grasped her wrist, and pressed hard on her pulse, hoping it would beat again.
The little prince's cries gradually grew weaker; after all, he was newborn and didn't have much strength.
Fu Yunchen completely ignored him, focusing intently on Mu Run's pulse.
Hongmi and Cai exchanged a glance, both seeing the deep sorrow in each other's eyes.
Finally, Lady Cai said, "Let's feed the baby first. I've already prepared a wet nurse in the side hall."
"Okay, I'll take him over first, you watch the eldest." Hongmi carried the child to the side hall.
Just after the child left, Fu Yunchen's eyes narrowed, and he pressed down hard on Mu Run's pulse!
"My lord, what's wrong?" Madam Cai noticed Fu Yunchen's unusual reaction.
Fu Yunchen said, "She...she still has a pulse!"
Lady Cai thought he was hallucinating, but dared not say so. She only said, "May I take Your Majesty's pulse?"
Cai inherited her mother-in-law, Old Madam Yang's, medical knowledge, especially in gynecological diseases.
"You do it." Fu Yunchen was also worried that he had messed up.
Lady Cai sat down to take Mu Run's pulse... However, upon taking it, her expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in shock, "His Majesty still has a heartbeat!"
I checked his breathing again, and he was still breathing!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please wake up!" Lady Cai called softly.
But Mu Run remained unmoved.
"Get up." After confirming that it wasn't his imagination, Fu Yunchen asked Cai Shi to get up from the bedside.
Lady Cai quickly stepped aside, and then, along with the other palace maids, immediately began to clean Mu Run's body and change her postpartum bedding. Because everything had been prepared beforehand, Mu Run was soon clean and comfortable, and her complexion gradually regained its rosy glow.
Except for being unconscious, he is just as alive as ever!
Fu Yunchen sent people to Yunlong Mountain to search for Yun Ruji.
Yun Ruji seemed to have known all along that Mu Run would encounter this calamity, and had already come to the palace.
Seeing the corpse of the Corpse King standing in front of the palace, and the stark white bones in front of him, the scene was quite spectacular and shocking.
After taking Mu Run's pulse, Yun Ruji shook her head at Fu Yunchen, "His soul is gone; he's just an empty shell."
Fu Yunchen swayed, almost losing his balance. But then he remembered something and took out the memory bead Mu Run had left him from his pocket. "What about this? Her memories."
“Without a soul, how can you retrieve your memories?” Yun Ruji looked at him, then suddenly a thought struck her. “All the empresses of the Northern Jin Dynasty had a pair of seven-jeweled dragon and phoenix bracelets. Do you know where they are?”
Fu Yunchen said, "I know. One of them is in the Hezhuo tribe, and the other is with Liu Xiaohuan. Liu Xiaohuan is currently on the front line with Dongzi and Lao Bai, resisting the Wu Kingdom's corpse army."
"You should take back both bracelets and your ideas."
