Chapter 305 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 35
Upon hearing this, the man stomped his foot and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's him, it must be him! That heartless man!"
It turns out that just a few days ago was the joyous day when Zhuo Yucheng ascended the throne and became emperor.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire foreign land.
Even more shockingly, rumors circulated that he not only ascended the throne but also took a large number of concubines.
Despite everyone's best efforts to conceal it, the truth eventually came out, and the princess eventually found out everything.
At this moment, everyone present was filled with regret and self-blame.
They couldn't help but wonder if their insistence on bringing the princess back to her ancestral home was truly a wise move.
If it weren't for this, perhaps the princess wouldn't have suffered such torment.
"There's no point in saying more now. I'll go and prescribe some medicine to calm the nerves and nourish the fetus, and have the princess take it as soon as possible. We must ensure the safety of the princess and the baby in her womb." The doctor said as he hurried away.
The king stood quietly behind the queen, his gaze fixed on his wife who was weeping incessantly, his heart filled with remorse.
With a worried expression, the Queen took Mu Wanwan's hand and gently placed it on her slightly haggard cheek. Her eyes were red and her voice was slightly choked: "Wanwan, as long as I can ensure your safety, I will grant your request no matter what, okay?"
After all, Mu Wanwan was her only beloved daughter in this life. Seeing her daughter in such pain and helplessness was heartbreaking and unbearable.
However, his father, who was the leader of the country, had a completely different view on this.
He turned away in a fit of rage, leaving behind a resolute silhouette without looking back.
A few days later, shocking news spread like wildfire—the foreign lands had openly launched an attack! This sudden turn of events shattered the previously relatively peaceful situation.
The moment the news reached Zhuo Yucheng's ears, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "So... it finally came?"
Meanwhile, after learning about the Empress Dowager's secret dealings, Aunt Mei began to consider leaving the palace.
So she mustered up her courage and asked Zhuo Yucheng for permission to leave the palace, hoping to spend her later years in peace and tranquility outside the palace.
Faced with Aunt Mei's plea, Zhuo Yucheng was somewhat reluctant, but in the end he still agreed to her request.
Just then, Zhuo Yucheng suddenly turned to Aunt Mei and said in a heavy tone, "Aunt Mei, did you hear that? They have already raised an army! This war is probably inevitable..."
Aunt Mei knelt respectfully in the center of the magnificent palace. Her slightly aged body trembled slightly, and her voice revealed a hint of determination: "Your Majesty, please have mercy and let this old servant go."
Sitting upright on the gleaming golden dragon throne, Zhuo Yucheng nodded expressionlessly, squeezing out a single word through gritted teeth: "Good!"
However, just as Aunt Mei was about to leave, she suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, and looked directly at the high and mighty Zhuo Yucheng.
"Zhuo Yucheng, it was you who betrayed Wanwan!" Aunt Mei's words struck Zhuo Yucheng's heart like a heavy hammer.
How could he not know that he had let down Wanwan, who loved him deeply?
Since ascending the throne, he has been buried in busy state affairs, working day and night to keep himself busy and fill every minute with work so that he no longer has extra time and energy to miss his beloved.
Aunt Mei left the palace with heavy steps, leaving Zhuo Yucheng alone in deep thought.
A moment later, as if controlled by an uncontrollable emotion, he suddenly stood up and swept all the memorials piled up on the table onto the ground.
The memorials were scattered all over the floor, as if symbolizing his chaotic inner world at that moment.
"Ah—" Zhuo Yucheng opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar.
The roar was filled with pain, regret, and helplessness in the face of fate, as if he wanted to release all the emotions that had been pent up inside him for a long time.
Meanwhile, far away, Mu Wanwan's mood gradually improved under the meticulous care and attention of her family.
"Master, the situation isn't looking good. Zhuo Yucheng's favorability rating has been stuck at 95. Although he has indeed let you down, if we can't complete the favorability task, even if you successfully have a child in the future, our mission this time will probably be in vain," Piggy said worriedly.
Mu Wanwan gently stroked the pig and comforted it, "Pig, don't worry too much. After all, the baby hasn't been born yet, anything is possible, and we still have a chance to turn things around."
After saying that, a determined glint flashed in her beautiful and captivating eyes.
Mu Wanwan's heart felt as cold as if it had sunk into an ice cellar. Even so, deep in her heart, a faint hope still lingered—how she longed for the person Zhuo Yucheng loved most to always be her!
At this moment, a message arrived: "Master, the alien realm is currently at war with Zhuo Yucheng. The alien warriors are exceptionally brave and have already driven them into repeated defeats."
Mu Wanwan's face did not show much emotion; she appeared somewhat indifferent.
Beneath that calm exterior lies a subtle, almost imperceptible expectation.
She wondered to herself what Zhuo Yucheng would do if he were to actually lose.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Mu Wanwan asked softly, "Piggy, when it's time for me to give birth, could you please send a message to Zhuo Yucheng in a dream for me?"
Without hesitation, Piggy snapped her fingers crisply and readily replied, "Of course, no problem!"
After all, at this moment, it seems to be the only feasible solution.
Zhuo Yucheng was in the heavily guarded palace. If he wanted to send someone in to inform him of this matter, the letter would probably be destroyed halfway through its journey.
Immediately afterward, the pig volunteered, "Master, how about this? In the next few days, I will transform into your appearance and visit him in his dreams, making him regret his actions!"
Mu Wanwan nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Go as you please!"
At this moment, the only thing she truly cared about was the unborn child in her womb, because this little life was her only hope and the most important thing in her life.
"Yucheng?"
Zhuo Yucheng hugged the blanket tightly and turned over.
"Yucheng?"
The silent night was like a giant monster, swallowing everything without a trace. It was pitch black all around, as if even the air had frozen.
