Chapter 30
In the Royal Palace of Yunzhao Kingdom, King Yunlin walked anxiously outside the delivery room. He frowned and looked up at the sky from time to time.
The sky above the delivery room was filled with red clouds, which had lasted for two whole days.
Ever since the queen started to give birth, red clouds had fallen from the sky. At first, he was filled with joy, thinking it was an auspicious sign. Unexpectedly, the queen encountered dystocia during childbirth. Her cries of pain became weaker and weaker, and the child was never born. The midwife poured blood out of basin after basin. When King Yunlin looked at the red clouds again, he felt it was extremely dazzling, and even thought it was an ominous sign.
King Yunlin and the queen had been married for more than ten years. He was over thirty years old. This was his first child. He would never accept any mistakes!
“Ah——!” A heart-rending scream suddenly came from the queen in the delivery room.
King Yunlin couldn’t bear it anymore and kicked open the door of the delivery room, “Ah Liang!”
Queen Bai Hualiang, his childhood sweethearts, as a young couple they had gone through countless ups and downs together, and he would never want anything to happen to her!
“Wow——!” The loud cry of a baby echoed through the sky, and King Yunlin was immediately stunned.
Within a moment, the midwife rushed out holding a white brocade swaddling clothes, and knelt down in front of King Yunlin in ecstasy, “Congratulations to the king, you have a little prince. Both mother and son are safe!”
Two lines of hot tears welled up from King Yunlin’s eyes, “God bless our Yunzhao!”
.
Just as the entire palace was immersed in the joy of the queen giving birth to an heir, one family was shrouded in great sorrow.
The palace maid Cai Que was the queen’s personal maid. She had a close relationship with her husband, who was the captain of the guard in the palace. She and the queen were pregnant at the same time. Now, the queen successfully gave birth to the prince. She went through all kinds of hardships to give birth to her own child, but it was a stillbirth.
Cai Que held the child’s cold body and cried loudly. Although her husband was also grieved, he still told her to restrain herself. Now that the country was joyful, she was breaking a taboo, and if someone found out, they would be in disaster.
Cai Que was filled with pain that could not be relieved. When she saw her husband’s eyes that were also red, she had to suppress her cries. She was reluctant to put down the child no matter what. “Why, Wumeng Deity, why do you punish me like this?”
.
At the same time, over the palace, Mu Rong, who hurriedly came to be reincarnated, looked at the people who were celebrating the birth of the prince with lanterns and colorful decorations. He was dumbfounded: What, what was going on? Who rushed ahead of him and was reincarnated as the prince?
Mu Rong knelt down on the clouds and cried bitterly: “Southern Emperor, I’m sorry for you, I missed a big event!”
Mu Rong had a gentle temperament. In fact, he didn’t want to be the new emperor of the Southern Kingdom, but his master had arrangements and hoped that he would fulfill his last wish and unify the Southern Kingdom. He had no choice but to bite the bullet. But on the way here, he was entangled and hesitant. Being nervous and frightened, he turned around and cried to the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom. He tried his best to build up his courage before rushing over. He never expected that someone would rush to be reincarnated as the prince!
“Mu Rong, Mu Rong!” Someone patted his shoulder gently.
Mu Rong looked at the visitor with tearful eyes, “Feng, Emperor Feng…”
Feng Yi looked concerned, “Why are you crying so sadly? If you have any difficulties, tell me, maybe I can help. When your master was alive, I was his close friend. Before he left, he asked me to take good care of you.”
Mu Rong was extremely moved and hugged Feng Yi’s thigh, “Please help me, Emperor Feng!”
Feng Yi listened casually and pretending to think for a long time, “I have a plan. Do you think this method will work?”
After listening to this, Mu Rong looked blank, “Is this, is this okay? For such a deception, wouldn’t Tiandi let the Great Thunder Deity kill me?”
Feng Yi shook his head: “The purpose of Tiandi is to elect a new emperor of the Southern Kingdom as soon as possible, so why not?”
Mu Rong thought about it, but there really was no better way. He had already come, and he couldn’t just go back like this. He gritted his teeth. Said: “Okay!”
So, Mu Rong followed Feng Yi to the sky above Cai Que’s house. Cai Que still held the dead child and refused to let go, nor let anyone else get close to her.
Feng Yi looked sympathetic: “This is also the best of both worlds. It not only relieves your difficulties, but also comforts a painful mother.”
Mu Rong looked at the grief-stricken Cai Que and couldn’t help crying, “It’s so pitiful, I have to thank Emperor Feng.”
Feng Yi conjured a bowl of clear and transparent worry-free tea out of thin air, “Drink it, and I will send you down.”
“Oh, okay.” Mu Rong drank it honestly.
Feng Yi pushed Mu Rong and said, “Go.”
.
On the ground, Cai Que, who was holding the child tightly, suddenly noticed that the child moved. She thought it was her imagination, but the little body in her arms became softer and softer, warmed slowly, his little chest began to rise and fall.
.
When Xie Zuo was reincarnated as a human, the first thing he felt was how heavy it was to be a human!
His eyelids were so heavy that they seemed to be glued together and he could not open them. His limbs seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms, and he could not move even an inch even with all his strength.
Thinking of him as a majestic demon king, he had been as light as a swallow since he was born, and was omnipotent in the whole world. How could he ever be so cumbersome?
No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t grasp this mortal body, so he became angry and roared: “Wow—!”
When Xie Zuo heard his own voice, he was stunned. This cry of sweet baby, was this his voice?
He was gently picked up by a pair of delicate hands and patted on the butt.
How bold, he didn’t allow anyone except Huo Yao to touch him! Xie Zuo tried his best to finally open his eyes and glared at this daring person.
A fair and beautiful face came into his eyes.
Xie Zuo frowned and looked at her. This mortal woman looked very weak. She dared to mess with him at her own risk!
Queen Bai Hualiang, who was holding Xie Zuo, saw him open his eyes and called out happily: “Your Majesty, come and see, Zhao’er has opened his eyes.”
Another handsome-looking man came over with a silly smile on his face, “Look at his expression, he’s quite majestic, hahaha!”
Xie Zuo suddenly understood that these were his parents in the human world.
Calculated by the age of the demon world, Xie Zuo was still a minor, but he had possessed powerful demon power since birth and had inherited the memories left by the demon kings of all generations, so he had never experienced the infant stage.
Reincarnated as a human this time, Xie Zuo truly experienced the wasteful life of an infant: reaching out for clothes, opening his mouth for food, eating and sleeping.
Because his appetite was too big, the queen’s milk could not satisfy him at all, so he was assigned a wet nurse – Cai Que.
This nanny also had a baby about the same age as him, and she often played with them.
Xie Zuo felt that his little brother was really stupid. He seemed to have no self-awareness at all and was ignorant of everything. He often rolled around and would crush him as he rolled.
Xie Zuo also had a new name, Yunzhao, which was the same as the name of this country. His stupid baby brother was called Mu Rong, which also sounded stupid.
Xie Zuo wanted to know where Huo Yao was, but unfortunately, he couldn’t speak yet, so no one could understand what he was doing.
As time went by, Xie Zuo became more and more fond of his human parents, especially his mother. Xie Zuo believed that Bai Hualiang was the most beautiful woman in the six realms, and also the gentlest. His father King Yunlin was also very good and a good man.
Xie Zuo gradually became able to control this body, first he could sit, and then he could crawl. On the day before he turned one year old, he put his strength in the queen’s arms and stood up tremblingly with her support.
When Xie Zuo turned one year old, King Yunlin issued a general amnesty to the whole country. The entire Yunzhao Kingdom caroused for three days and held a flowing banquet throughout the country to celebrate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s first birthday.
King Yunlin personally held Xie Zuo in his arms, inspected the army, inspected the treasury, and summoned all civil and military officials.
.
On this day, Yunlin took Xie Zuo to inspect the secret guard.
Xie Zuo was lying bored in King Yunlin’s arms, eating his fingers. The days without Huo Yao were always boring, and the human body grew too slowly…
King Yunlin saw him so leisurely and felt that his son was very grand. He had no stage fright in any situation; he was a born king, and he looked more and more imposing.
When passing by the school grounds, Xie Zuo’s wandering eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure from behind.
