Chapter 1013: The Whole Show

ood Crystal Tree, which fell with her to the Beast World Continent. She thought she had just grasped onto the branch and that's why she didn't die. You know what happened after that."So this plant sho...When the death knell tolled, all the officials waiting outside the palace and the imperial concubines knew that Emperor Qixiang had passed away. Each one wept bitterly, just like they had when their own father died.

Ripple fainted directly beside Emperor Qixing's dragon bed, so she was carried away to a side hall.

"Ripple, you did a great job with this role."

“This is my code as a task-taker. If I let Emperor Qixiang die with resentment, there might be a second round of tasks, and it would only bring trouble to myself and the original owner. You know this better than anyone, villains die from too much talking.”

"So you're admitting you're the villain,"

"No, my ancestor merely acted first to seize power. Otherwise, this imperial harem would still be in turmoil. Now that there are no heirs, there will be no disputes. Isn't that better"

But don't you forget, you have two sons!

The stone mill said in a mean way.

"Hmph! This palace is still alive, how could I watch them two squabble Those with ill intentions, this palace will give them a lesson."

Then, how long are you planning to faint for

"This palace is overcome with sadness, and coupled with my already frail constitution, this blow has been too great. Before, when the Emperor was ill, I had merely been bearing up. Now, of course, I have fallen ill completely."

Ripples said calmly.

She wouldn't dream of mourning for that dog emperor. There are so many women in the harem, now is their chance to show their worth.

"Aren't you afraid those people will scheme and get the Queen to replace you"

The stone mill continued to say.

"They can try, they really think that my ten years as queen were for nothing."

R ripples said disdainfully.

At this time, all the doctors in the hospital rushed to the side hall to feel Liàn Yī's pulse and then gave her a few acupuncture points.

Liàn Yī was awakened by the ripples, but his face was pale and he spoke in a weak voice:

“Grandmother Sun, the Minister of Protocol is here to see this palace.”

Lan Zhi, bring Hong Ji to see me. I have something important to tell him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing ripples' pale face, everyone felt a chill run down their spine. They thought the Empress was in grave danger this time. After all, losing her husband at middle age was a huge blow, and even as Empress, she couldn't escape its impact.

The ripples are just that they haven't used mind reading, otherwise knowing what these people are thinking, they would definitely spit on them one face, dead men, my old mother lives better.

After the Minister of Rites arrived, Lian'er briefed him on Emperor Qixiang's passing, tears streaming down her face. She finally spat blood and fainted, which terrified Hongji who had rushed over. Having just lost his father, if his mother were to also pass away, he would truly be all alone.

"Mother! Mother! Wake up, Dabao is here!"

The Crown Prince, no, now it should be said the soon-to-be new emperor, rushed to Lian Ri's bedside, his face covered in tears as he held his mother's hand tightly. The sadness on his face was finally real at this moment.

After all, the three of them had been raised by their mother since they were young. The Emperor was more like a majestic ruler in their eyes than a loving father. The Emperor's departure meant he would have to shoulder more responsibilities. But if something were to happen to his mother, he felt like the sky would be falling.

The ripples naturally sensed the younger son's emotions. As he held her hand, she took the opportunity amidst the chaos by the bed and gently squeezed Hongji's hand.

A look of grief washed over Hongji's face, and he seemed to realize something. He quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve and turned to address everyone in the hall:

"Everyone, come quick! Let's see what's wrong with Mother. She just spat out blood for no reason!"

After finishing his words, he still glared at all the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in the side hall.

The entire courtyard, naturally understanding the meaning behind the eldest prince's words, immediately stepped forward. After carefully taking Ripple's pulse for a long time, they finally spoke:

"Your Majesty, the Empress has been deeply saddened and her heart meridian is injured, which is why she vomited blood. Right now, the most important thing is for Her Majesty to rest and recuperate; she should not be bothered by any further worries or stress. If this happens again, it will definitely affect Her Majesty's lifespan."

All staff members should choose their words carefully.

His words are already conservative, because the empress's pulse is weak and fluctuating, clearly having been injured in her heart meridian. To live another ten years would already be the extreme, this is under the premise of careful nursing, otherwise she will also reunite with Emperor Qixing early in the underworld.

HONGJI had now steadied himself, and began to exercise his authority as the superior. He tightened his face, which was just starting to show signs of manhood, and commanded those around him.

"Grandmother Sun, Aunt Lanchi, you must take good care of Mother. Not a single detail can be overlooked. Do not disturb her unless there is something urgent. If Mother wakes up, tell her that I will handle the aftermath of Father's affairs and let her rest assured to recuperate."

Yes, Your Majesty!

Both of them immediately bowed in response.

"To Shangshu, I will personally handle everything concerning my father. For any matters that require a decision, please report to me."

Yes, Your Majesty!

"Congratulations!"

"Here I am!"

Quan Fu immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed with his hands clasped.

"During this time, you've been by my side handling official business and taking full charge of my father's affairs."

"The servant obeys."

"Mother! Mother!"

"Big brother, what's wrong with mother"

At this moment, Yun Shan and Hong Ye ran into the side hall. They were crying in front of their mother's bed when they heard from the servants that their mother had woken up only to faint again after vomiting blood. Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop them, they rushed to the side hall.

Yunsan's tears had yet to be wiped away, while Hongye's face lacked its usual carefree air. A heavy gloom settled upon his chubby features, his sharp gaze sweeping over the people gathered in the side hall.

There was a tremor of fear in the hearts of everyone present. This Third Prince didn't seem like an easy person to deal with. He usually appeared carefree and disheveled, but when the situation called for it, his face turned serious and he commanded quite an air of authority.

"Second sister, third brother, mother needs to rest now, don't let trivial matters disturb her."

Yun Shan, you stay behind to accompany Mother. The third brother and I will go take care of Father's affairs.

"Big brother, third younger brother, you guys go, I will take good care of mother."

Yunsan saw that Lianyi's complexion wasn't good, and she frowned in response.

Then, Hongji gave Hongye a knowing look, and the two of them left the side hall in tacit understanding.

Yunsan saw that her mother was still wearing blood-stained clothes and immediately said to Sun Mama:

"Grandma, why didn't you change Mother's clothes"

"The old slave has already sent someone to fetch Your Majesty's garments. They will be here shortly."

"Enough, this side hall is not a place to rest. Find a soft sedan chair and carry mother back to the Phoenix Residence Palace."

Yun Shan listened to the crying coming from the main hall and frowned, ordering,

"This"

Grandma Sun hesitated for a moment.

Yun Shan turned her head and looked at Quan Yuanzheng, then directly asked:

"Is the mother now able to move around comfortably"

"It's not suitable for recuperation here, one can move around freely. If the Empress wakes up, it might be distressing and worse for her health."

All the discerning people in the hospital immediately clasped their hands and bowed back.

Next to him was the corpse of Emperor Qixiang, who could anyone rest and recuperate in peace

"Grandma Sun, you arrange it!"

"Yes!"

Grandmother Sun immediately obeyed and turned to leave the side hall.

When the ripples reached Fenghui Palace, everyone in the palace knew that the Empress was not doing well.

That evening, at the fourth watch, Hongji, dressed in mourning clothes, arrived at Fengqi Palace. something from the space when she realized there was no response. It seemed her connection with the space had been severed.Mu Mianmian's face turned pale. She directly took off her socks and looked a...
