Fu Yunchen was talking to Yun Ruji when he saw her coming over, so he stopped talking.
"Aren't you happy to see an old acquaintance?" Fu Yunchen's words carried a hint of sourness.
Mu Run knew he was referring to Xi Gongyong. Although she and Xi Gongyong had some past grievances, they were all in the past. She simply said, "It's been a long time since we've all gotten together, so of course I'm happy. But why didn't Madam Qiao come?"
Liu Xiaohuan was holding her son and eating fruit when she heard this and replied, "Madam Qiao had come, but then she received news that her sister-in-law from her maternal family had an accident, so she rushed back to her maternal family."
"Hmm, how are you? Are you being naughty, you chubby boy?"
"It's alright, his dad usually takes care of him."
"I'll transfer you to the capital. It's not good for you two to be separated."
If it were before she had children, Liu Xiaohuan would definitely have disagreed, but now, for the sake of her son, she has no choice but to change her mind.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will follow Your Majesty's arrangements."
"Okay." Mu Run looked at Fu Yunchen. "You can make the arrangements later."
"Okay." Fu Yunchen handed her a bowl of soup. "Hurry up and drink some, Yuanyuan will be hungry and will want to find you later."
Mu Run took the soup bowl as instructed and took a sip.
She whispered to him, "Thank you for your hard work. I really enjoyed today's family gathering."
"I'm glad you like it," Fu Yunchen said with a smile.
Mu Run picked up the wine pot and poured him a cup of wine himself. "Please enjoy."
Fu Yunchen immediately looked flattered and raised his wine cup, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that he was being playful, Mu Run nodded seriously as well, "You're welcome, Your Excellency."
Palace maids carried a stream of delicious dishes, moving among the banquet tables, their laughter and chatter echoing through the imperial garden...
...
Four years later.
Empress Fengyuan of Chongming Kingdom passed away suddenly due to a pre-existing illness!
The Crown Prince, the eldest son of the legitimate emperor, Fu Yun Ning, held a grand national funeral for him and, in accordance with the imperial edict, succeeded to the throne, changing the country's name to Yuan Kang.
Only a very few people know the true meaning of this country's name!
On the seventh day after Emperor Fengyuan's death, Prime Minister Fu Yunchen resigned from his post and left the court, and his whereabouts became a mystery thereafter!
Imperial Mausoleum
With ten-year-old Zhuangzhuang and four-year-old younger siblings, Tuantuan stood in front of the huge crystal coffin, looking at Fu Yunchen and Murun inside as if they were asleep, her eyes already swollen from crying.
“Zhuangzhuang, Xiaosi, Xiaowu, and Yuanyuan, if you miss your parents, you can come here to see them anytime.”
Zhuangzhuang held Xiao Si and Xiao Wu's hands, kept her head down and didn't say a word, but there was already a small wet patch on the ground beneath her feet.
“Mother said she would come back.” Yuanyuan clung to the edge of the crystal coffin, her eyes wide open, looking at Fu Yunchen and Mu Run.
Especially Mu Run, who was breastfed until she was three years old. Although many people advised her mother to wean her earlier, her mother indulged her because she always insisted on breastfeeding. In the end, if it weren't for her fourth and fifth brothers constantly teasing her, she might have continued breastfeeding even longer. (81zw.com)
It was precisely because of this that she was particularly attached to Mu Run and had very deep feelings for him.
Tuantuan walked to her side and picked her up so that she could see more clearly. "Mother said she would come back, and she will definitely come back."
"If I, my mother, and I are still bound by the Mother-Child Fate Gu..." Zhuangzhuang's voice choked with sobs.
Tuantuan turned to look at him, "It has nothing to do with you, don't overthink it."
"Where is my sister now?" Zhuangzhuang asked.
"The demon race is rampant on the continent of Aoshu. In her last letter, she said that she was with Cha Bao."
"I want to go find my sister."
"You..." Tuantuan looked at him in surprise, "Could it be that you've already..."
Zhuangzhuang nodded, "I have evolved into a spirit race, and Yunlong Mountain has a new mountain god. Uncle will take me with him."
Tuan Tuan remained silent for a long while.
Finally, her voice trembled with obvious envy, helplessness, and dejection, "What will you do with the title of Prince Chongyang?"
Zhuangzhuang looked down at Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, and finally looked at Xiao Wu's face, which resembled Fu Yunchen's. "I'll give it to Xiao Wu."
The older Xiao Si gets, the more he resembles Long Qian, so he's unlikely to be a content prince.
Why do you want to go there?
"Because I can become strong there. If my father and mother never come back, I will go find them and bring them back!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan, who was clinging to the crystal coffin, suddenly had a strange, icy blue light flash deep in her eyes!
