Chapter 312 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 42

"Your Majesty, you and I have always lived in peace and gone our separate ways. I wonder what brings you to this great commotion!" Faced with the king's silence, he took the initiative to ask the reason.

The king stared intently at him, his gaze sharp, and said coldly, "Zhuo Yucheng, in the past, I was only focused on finding my beloved daughter and had no time to attend to the war between us. Now that I have finally found her, how dare you betray her? If I don't teach you a lesson, who else should I teach a lesson to?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yucheng couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, never expecting that the cause of the matter would be so simple and direct.

It seems that this sudden war was started by himself. I wonder how the Empress Dowager will react when she finds out.

“Your Majesty, my feelings for Wanwan are as clear as day and I have no regrets.”

The king, however, seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He stared at Zhuo Yucheng with disdain and sneered, "Zhuo Yucheng, Zhuo Yucheng, how dare you say such a thing? What kind of man are you? In the end, it was my precious daughter who, out of kindness, personally pleaded with me to stop the war. Based on your actions, you are completely unqualified as a husband or a king!"

At this moment, Zhuo Yucheng lowered his head silently and replied softly, "I know I have deeply hurt her heart. No matter how you scold me, I will not say a word."

The soldiers standing by were anxious as they watched their emperor being completely suppressed by this foreign leader. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but they could only watch helplessly from behind.

"Hmph, at least you still have some conscience, Zhuo Yucheng. Let me tell you, my general is only giving you this one chance! It's up to you whether you want to seize it or not!" The commander standing behind Zhuo Yucheng glared angrily, immediately stepped forward, and shouted loudly.

The commander, with a resolute expression, stared directly at Zhuo Yucheng without fear and shouted righteously, "The Zhuo family army has always been made up of men of unyielding integrity. We will never surrender to you. Stop talking nonsense!"

Faced with the commander's angry accusations, Zhuo Yucheng simply raised his hand slightly, signaling the commander to calm down.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around, faced the king in front of him, bowed very respectfully, and said softly, "Father-in-law, please enlighten me!"

These words caused an uproar among the soldiers present. They exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing utter confusion, secretly wondering: when did a foreign land become related to their emperor? This was truly astonishing!

Just as everyone was puzzled, the king, who was called Father-in-law, slowly spoke and said in a heavy tone: "That girl Wanwan, because of you, actually put on armor and went to the battlefield to beg me to stop this war."

However, she became so emotional that she not only vomited blood on the spot, but also threatened her pregnancy.

Now, both she and her unborn child are on the verge of death. If you can lay down your weapons now and obediently come with me, perhaps you will still have a chance to see her again…”

Upon hearing these words, Zhuo Yucheng's body swayed violently, as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

In an instant, he felt as if he had suddenly gone deaf, and the surrounding noise vanished without a trace.

At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind—Wanwan and the child were in imminent danger!

If he can't hurry over to see them, he might even lose his last chance to say goodbye!

The long sword he was holding suddenly lost its strength, as if it were being pulled by an invisible force, and fell to the ground instantly with a crisp and heavy sound.

At the same time, he seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were empty, and he walked straight toward the foreign army opposite him.

Upon seeing this, the commander was greatly alarmed and rushed forward, spreading his arms to try and stop him from advancing.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely forbidden! If something were to happen to you on this trip, what would I do? How could I explain this to the officials and the people of the land!" The commander's voice trembled with anxiety.

However, Zhuo Yucheng seemed not to hear the commander's shouts. He expressionlessly stretched out his hands and forcefully pried open the commander's hands that were tightly holding him.

"I will definitely return safely. You should quickly lead the troops to retreat!" His tone was firm and unquestionable.

The reason why Zhuo Yucheng went to the foreign army so resolutely was because he knew that the other party would never joke about Wanwan's matter.

He had previously received information that Wanwan had been suffering from vomiting blood throughout her pregnancy.

Thinking of this, his heart ached as if it were being gnawed by a million ants.

Seeing Zhuo Yucheng's resolute demeanor, the king, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but nod slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he shouted to the army behind him, "Withdraw!"

Although the foreign soldiers fought fiercely and were still eager for more, they had no choice but to stop attacking due to the king's orders. They put away their weapons and turned to leave in unison.

Not long after, the king returned to the palace with Zhuo Yucheng.

As soon as they reached the palace gate, they saw a group of palace maids rushing out of the room in a panic, carrying basins of bloody water.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhuo Yucheng's face turned deathly pale. He rushed forward, grabbed one of the palace maids' arms tightly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is Wanwan now?"

The palace maid, frantic with worry, forcefully shoved aside the person trying to stop her, shouting, "Don't stop me! The princess is dying!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhuo Yucheng, with a solemn expression, rushed into the house without hesitation, without even having time to report to the king.

The atmosphere inside the delivery room was so tense it was suffocating.

The midwife was anxiously checking the baby's condition again and again as the birth was imminent, constantly urging, "Princess, push! Give it your all!"

At this moment, Mu Wanwan was completely exhausted. Her originally rosy face had turned as pale as paper, and her whole body was limp and powerless.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood. Zhuo Yucheng, who was standing not far away, felt as if his feet were filled with lead, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

Looking at the frail woman before him, who was completely different from the woman he had been in the Crown Prince's residence, his heart ached as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles at once.
