Chapter 304 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 34
As everyone knows, their Prince of Tennis has never given up searching for his biological daughter, and this persistence and deep affection have moved many people.
Moreover, on the long journey to find his relatives, the king not only had to deal with various interferences from external forces, but also had to protect his people.
It was precisely because of this wholehearted protection that this land was able to live in peace and prosperity, and the people naturally felt grateful to the king and held him in high esteem.
People are even more fond of the princess who has just returned, and their respect and affection for her are evident in their words.
Originally, according to the initial plan, after the family reunion ceremony concluded, everyone would accompany Mu Wanwan to tour the magnificent and beautiful landscapes of the foreign land.
However, fate is unpredictable. At this time, Mu Wanwan was already pregnant and had difficulty moving around, so she was unable to travel far.
Left with no other choice, she had to temporarily reside in the palace. Although she was quite annoyed and longed to return to her familiar surroundings as soon as possible, she was always politely refused because of the baby in her womb.
That day, feeling utterly bored, Mu Wanwan wandered alone in the courtyard, occasionally kicking a few pebbles under her feet.
Just as she was feeling upset, her mother happened to see her passing by.
The mother hurried over, her face full of concern, and said, "Wanwan, kicking stones is very dangerous! What if you accidentally fall and hurt yourself and the baby in your belly? You must never do that again!"
Hearing her mother's advice, Mu Wanwan slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling on a small pebble on the ground. The pebble was dusty and inconspicuous, just like her dejected mood.
However, after only a brief pause, Mu Wanwan suddenly seemed to be throwing a tantrum, and abruptly raised her foot and kicked the pebble hard.
Seeing this, her mother quickly reached out to support her, scolding her gently, "Oh dear, why are you so disobedient! What if you slip and lose your balance and fall?"
Mu Wanwan seemed not to hear, her mind completely absorbed in her own thoughts. She bit her lower lip, her brows furrowed slightly, and looked at her mother with a wronged expression, murmuring, "Mother, why hasn't Yucheng replied to my letter after all this time? Does he really not care about me at all?"
The mother sighed softly and comforted him, "Maybe he's just been too busy lately. Let's wait patiently, and maybe we'll receive his reply in a few days."
Days passed in this way, and every day Mu Wanwan would run to the door with anticipation, hoping to see that familiar figure or a letter from Zhuo Yucheng. However, each time her waiting was met with disappointment.
Finally, one day, a shocking piece of news arrived—Zhuo Yucheng ascended the throne and became emperor! This news struck Mu Wanwan's heart like a bolt from the blue.
"Piggy, please help me find out what's going on!" Mu Wanwan anxiously asked Piggy for help. These past few days, Piggy had watched its owner become depressed because of missing Zhuo Yucheng, and it had felt very sorry for and worried about her.
Piggy hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bear to hide the truth from Mu Wanwan, and said softly, "Master, actually, the letter you sent to His Highness the Crown Prince had already been delivered to the Crown Prince's residence. However... the letter was discovered and torn up by the Crown Prince's mother, so His Highness Zhuo Yucheng had no idea that you had written him a letter."
Upon hearing Zhuzhu's words, Mu Wanwan felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, as if her entire world had collapsed in that instant. She staggered back a few steps, nearly losing her balance, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. "So, he never even considered replying to my letter, was that it?"
"Yes!"
Mu Wanwan trembled all over, still secretly wondering if her letter had been intercepted, at least Yucheng should have been able to reply to her.
However, at this moment, a shocking piece of news arrived like a bolt from the blue: "Master, the late emperor has arranged for him to take five concubines!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanwan felt a wave of dizziness, her body swayed, and she almost lost her balance.
She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked her slightly protruding belly. Tears welled up uncontrollably and instantly blurred her vision.
At this moment, she was filled with remorse, hating herself for having misunderstood her biological parents.
Before this, she had secretly wondered if the letters she had sent, filled with deep affection and longing, had never reached Yucheng; or perhaps, the letters Yucheng sent had already been hidden by her parents. Now, thinking back, these thoughts seemed utterly absurd and laughable.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my chest, as if a thousand steel needles were piercing my heart at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, a burning force surged up in her throat, as if it would burn her whole body to ashes.
Unable to suppress the pain any longer, she turned her head and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The crimson blood splattered heavily on the ground, a shocking and chilling sight.
"Master? What... what's wrong with you?" The maidservant serving nearby was terrified upon seeing this, her face turning pale, and she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do.
Seeing the princess coughing up blood and on the verge of death, the maid was terrified. Without thinking of anything else, she scrambled towards the door, shouting for help as she ran.
Before long, Mu Wanwan's once beautiful face turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color.
She lay quietly on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, having lost consciousness and fallen into a deep coma.
"My daughter!" The queen, who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, was heartbroken and devastated by what she saw.
She rushed to the bedside, took three steps at a time, and tightly grasped Mu Wanwan's cold little hand, tears streaming down her face.
At the same time, the palace physicians also rushed over.
His expression was solemn, and he dared not delay for a moment. He quickly knelt down, placed his fingers on Mu Wanwan's slender wrist, and carefully took her pulse.
After a moment, the doctor frowned, muttering to himself with a puzzled look, "The princess has always been healthy, and the fetus in her womb is in a very stable condition. How could it suddenly be so dangerous?"
"Doctor, please tell me, what happened to her? Why did she suddenly become like this?" the king asked anxiously, his voice trembling slightly.
The doctor gently shook his head and slowly said, "Your Majesty, the princess's condition is caused by a surge of blood and qi, leading to a sudden attack of anger on her heart. Judging from her pulse, it is extremely erratic, and the fetus in her womb seems to sense the mother's intense emotions, currently moving restlessly..."
