"Wow--!!"

This earth-shattering cry of a baby that erupted in absolute darkness was like a stone thrown into a stagnant pool, instantly shattering the deathly silence that enveloped the entire palace.

But that was not the beginning of the noise, but a deeper silence that absorbed all sounds after a moment so short that it could be ignored.

The maids, servants, and guards who had been screaming, panicking, groping and bumping into each other just a second ago because of the unknown fear brought by the darkness...all the movements and sounds froze at the moment when the crying broke out.

It was as if an invisible force had strangled his throat and frozen his limbs.

The entire noisy courtyard, like amber thrown into time, instantly fell into a suffocating silence where you could hear a pin drop.

Only the loud, vital, and even a hint of angry and unyielding cry of the baby remained, echoing stubbornly in the thick darkness, as clear as if it was right next to everyone's ears!

In the darkness, Lin Zhen, who was holding the swaddling baby, felt his body shaken violently as if hit by an invisible force!

He subconsciously held the swaddling clothes tightly in his arms and looked down - even though it was pitch black in front of him and he could not see anything, his eyes were still wide open to the extreme, as if he wanted to use his mind to penetrate the darkness and see everything in his arms clearly.

His eyeballs were bloodshot due to the sudden huge emotional impact, and there were still traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, that cold and stiff little body actually felt a faint but clear warmth of life coming from across the brocade!

his son!

The son he thought he had lost forever!

The dead look of death just now is still vivid in my mind!

This enormous, all-subversive impact made every cell in his body tremble. The huge ecstasy and even deeper disbelief were like huge waves that instantly drowned him!

His Adam's apple rolled violently, and he uttered hoarse and chaotic syllables like a wounded beast: "Son...son? Son!"

His voice was trembling uncontrollably, as if he was confirming something or calling out for a treasure that had been lost and found again.

“Wow, wow, wow!!”

"Hahahaha, I knew my son wouldn't die so easily! Hahahaha!"

"Waaaaaaaaaa, cough cough cough, ahhhhhhh!"

The child's crying was very loud.

"Hey!" At this moment, an equally cold hand, with the dryness and roughness unique to an old man, reached out like a pair of pliers and accurately placed it on the baby's wrist that was exposed at the edge of the swaddling clothes and was much more delicate than the forearm of an ordinary person!

It’s the chess and card Buddha!

His usually calm face was now filled with extreme, almost tearing shock and astonishment!

He even forgot to breathe, his entire mind focused on his three skinny fingertips.

As the strong and vital beating of the pulse came clearly, the chess and card Buddha's eyes, as deep as an ancient pool, suddenly lit up amazingly!

He felt the torrent of life rushing through the baby's weak body, and a suffocating gasp came from his throat. Then an indescribable emotion, a mixture of ecstasy, awe and extreme shock at the power of heaven and earth, completely erupted!

"As expected...as expected! Hahahaha! Heaven has eyes, fate plays tricks on us! Heaven has eyes! Hahahaha!"

The chess and card Buddha raised his head and laughed almost crazily at the invisible sky that was being swallowed by the heavenly dog!

The laughter was particularly harsh in the dead silence of the darkness, carrying a complex emotion of relief yet deep fear after discovering some shocking mystery, and it seemed to loosen the solidified air around it a little.

The people around were still in extreme shock.

Doctor Sun, who had just come out of the delivery room and was still immersed in sadness and powerlessness, was now frozen in place as if petrified. His old face was dull and there was a huge confusion in his turbid eyes, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

Although Fairy Liyue, Shangguan Wan'er and others could locate the source of the crying in absolute darkness faster than ordinary people, was the sound coming from the baby who had been declared dead by Doctor Sun?

This fact beyond common sense made these knowledgeable practitioners and noble ladies from aristocratic families stunned for a moment, and their thoughts froze.

The fairies looked at each other, and could see unconcealable astonishment in each other's blurred outlines.

The servants opened their mouths wide, as if they had collectively lost their voices, and even forgot to light the lanterns and torches in their hands.

The first thing to break this extremely shocking atmosphere was the distorted and trembling voice of Doctor Sun, which completely overturned medical common sense. He stumbled towards the direction of Lin Zhen's voice: "Prince! This child, the child's voice... Oh my God, how could this happen? He was clearly silent and pulseless just now... How... How could he suddenly come back to life?! This... This is not medical reason! "

The old doctor's voice was filled with tears of excitement and the shock of a shattered worldview.

The darkness was gradually torn apart by a few torches and lanterns that were lit with difficulty.

With the faint light, Lin Zhen finally saw the baby in the cradle in his arms.

The bluish-gray deathly aura had dissipated, and the small chest was rising and falling rapidly. Because of the previous crying and the drastic changes of "resurrection from the dead", the skin still had an abnormal redness and a few wrinkles from crying.

He closed his eyes tightly, but his little mouth opened and closed forcefully, making slight whimpering and sobbing sounds.

Fresh!

Real, vibrant life!

A mixture of ecstasy, fear, and indescribable emotions rushed to his head. Lin Zhen raised his head suddenly and shouted anxiously to Doctor Sun: "Doctor Sun! Don't worry about medical principles! Quick! Check on my son again! See if he is really okay?! Quick!"

His voice trembled, filled with a father's anxiety and the fear that came from having just experienced a huge ups and downs.

"Hey! Hey! I'll take a look right away! I'll take a look right away!" Doctor Sun woke up as if from a dream, and no longer cared about losing his composure. He crawled to Lin Zhen and carefully took the swaddling clothes from Lin Zhen's arms, almost snatching it away.

It is no longer a cold and dead silence, but a soft wriggling with the temperature of life!

The hands of this leading figure in medicine were shaking with excitement.

"Please wait a moment, my lord! I will go and examine him carefully right away!"

He held the swaddling clothes tightly, not wanting to waste even a second, and almost stumbled and slammed the door of the delivery room open again. His figure instantly disappeared in the air mixed with shadows and the smell of blood inside the door.

The heavy carved wooden door closed again behind Doctor Sun, making a slight muffled sound.

This time, no one stopped him. There were only countless anxious, expectant, and inquiring eyes fixed on the door.

The darkness brought by the solar eclipse was still thick and seemed to show no signs of receding. Instead, it seemed to completely isolate this courtyard from the outside world, creating a world of its own.

In the dim light, one can see that the panic in the air has not yet completely faded away, and is quickly being filled with new, stronger hopes and unknowns.

Lin Zhen seemed to have been drained of all his strength. His tall body swayed. Without looking at anyone, he walked straight and somewhat frivolously towards the small pavilion under the corridor not far away.

He needed to sit down and calm down. The great sorrow and joy he experienced in just a few moments had drained all his energy.

Shangguan Wan'er immediately followed. There was still some astonishment on her delicate face, but now there was more of irrepressible excitement and the calmness of a hostess.

She sat down next to Lin Zhen, her demeanor still maintaining the elegance and restraint unique to a woman from aristocratic family, but the glittering light in her bright eyes betrayed her inner unrest.

She leaned forward slightly, and one hand even subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen. The look she gave Lin Zhen was filled with sincere joy and a hint of subtle complexity.
