Chapter 51: Empress Wen's Death

"Aunt, Qing Yi, I'm hungry." Yuan Yuan rubbed her belly and looked at them. Although Qing Yi stuffed her with a few candied fruits during the wedding, the little girl was already hungry after struggling for so long.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already sent someone to prepare it. Hua Yuchu has left a lot of delicious food for you." Qing Yi said as she led Yuan Yuan to wash her hands, while Qing Shuang threw the little girl on the bed.

The beaded crown is put away.

I wanted to have a good time here, and the situation in the Qinzhengyuan was also lively. Perhaps because of the consideration of Queen Wen's condition before, everyone did not dare to enjoy themselves too much, in case the enemy would get caught. Now, taking advantage of the Yanhuai wedding,

Naturally, they were open to eating and drinking.

Queen Wen also left the banquet and returned to her own courtyard shortly after Yuan Yuan returned to Jiyue Courtyard. After many days of relying on the joy of Yan Huai and Yuan Yuan's marriage, she finally exhausted all her physical strength.

But even though she had fallen on the bed, she was still thinking about Yan Huai and Yuan Yuan.

"Your Majesty, please rest. Your Highness and Your Highness will come to serve you tea early tomorrow morning." Aunt Tang tucked the quilt for her distressedly, hoping that she could have a good rest and recuperate her energy.

"Mommy, I'm not sleepy, I just can't feel energetic." Queen Wen said softly to the bed curtain. It was God's mercy that she could hold on until now, and she was satisfied.

"Mommy, help me call the two children to me. I'm afraid if we don't see them again, I won't have a chance in the future."

"Master, please don't scare me! My... I just sent someone to invite your two highnesses!" Nanny Tang hurriedly sent someone to invite Yan Huai and Yuan Yuan, but her whole body was trembling.

The accompanying doctor took Queen Wen's pulse and knelt on the ground in panic, not daring to say a word.

After Xiao Dezi received the news about the visitor from Siwan Courtyard, he hurriedly whispered something into Yan Huai's ear. Yan Huai, who was still enjoying the meal calmly, suddenly stood up and bowed to Emperor Yan.

"Father, I have to take my leave in advance."

Without enough time to wait for Emperor Yan's response, he strode out of the Qinzhengyuan. Although his expression was the same as before, his steps were hurried. Emperor Yan's heart sank, and he immediately stood up and left, leaving a group of ministers and family members looking at each other in shock.

Concubine De glanced at Yanchi and motioned for him to follow her. Queen Wen's deadline was approaching and she could not stay at this table no matter what. Guiren Fu immediately understood Concubine De's intention and took the twins with her to leave.

As Emperor Yan and his concubines left one after another without leaving a single word, the court officials and family members present felt convinced and left the table one after another. No one dared to discuss royal affairs.

There were people standing in front of Queen Wen's bed. Yuan Wan held Queen Wen's hand and refused to let go, looking at her with tears in her eyes. Yan Huai stood behind her with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Queen Wen smiled softly at everyone and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty and your two sisters should go back and rest. I just asked my two children to talk with me, there is no need for so many people to guard me."

Knowing that Queen Wen didn't want to see these concubines at this moment, Concubine De respectfully led Yanchi to retreat first. Fu Guiren did not dare to easily anger Emperor Yan anymore, so he also retreated with his twins, and the accompanying maids and eunuchs also retreated.

Next, only Nanny Tang remained.

"Your Majesty, please go back and rest. I wish I could be with Shen Zhi and Xin Xin." Empress Wen didn't want to spend her last days facing Emperor Yan, who had long been separated from her, so she could only persuade him to leave tactfully.

"Wan'er, don't drive me away." Emperor Yan looked at her with guilt, and also complained that she still refused to stay by her side for a moment longer.

Seeing that he was so indifferent, Queen Wen stopped thinking about talking to him anymore and put her last efforts on the two children in front of her.

"Be careful, be careful, my mother is no longer with you from now on, you have to be good."

"Be careful, mother wants you to swear on your own life that you will never betray your heart in this life. If you violate this oath, you will definitely not live to be thirty."

Queen Wen would actually force Yan Huai to swear a poisonous oath. This was something that no one expected, especially Emperor Yan, who looked at her with wide eyes. She was still blaming him!

Yuan Yuan subconsciously looked at Yan Huai, wanting to see how he would answer.

Under the gaze of Queen Wen, Yan Huai took the hand of his original wish and solemnly promised her, "Yan Huai swears on his life here that he will never disobey his original wish in this life. If he violates it, he will not die a good death."

"Yan Shenzhi..." Yuan Yuan looked at him at a loss. She didn't like him saying such words, as if he was cursing herself.

"If you are not afraid, if Shen Zhi dares to say something, he will definitely do it. I believe him." Queen Wen touched Yuan Yuan's hair and said in a warm voice.

From the beginning to the end, Queen Wen didn't give Emperor Yan a corner of her eyes. She pulled Yuan Yuan and talked a lot intermittently, wishing that she could arrange her future decades.

After talking for a long time, Emperor Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Shenzhi, please take Xinxin out first. I want to talk to your mother alone."

After everyone left the room, Emperor Yan sat down in front of Queen Wen. He wanted to hold her hand, but he didn't expect Queen Wen to put her hand back on the quilt first.

"Wan'er..." Emperor Yan called her out of breath. Her attitude of avoiding him like a snake and a scorpion really made him feel sad.

"Your Majesty, I am tired and want to rest. You should go back and rest early." After saying this, Queen Wen closed her tired eyes and did not want to talk to Emperor Yan anymore.

The two were in a stalemate until midnight, before Emperor Yan returned to the Qinzheng Courtyard to rest on Huan's persuasion, while Yan Huai and Yuan Yuan stayed directly in the Siwan Courtyard.

In the early morning, before dawn, Yan Huai just got up and Wan Wan woke up too. She was thinking about Queen Wen, so she washed herself up and rushed to Queen Wen's room.

"Your Highness? Why are you so early today? Are you here to see your Majesty? Your Majesty is not awake yet. Please wait a moment while I go to see your Majesty." Aunt Tang touched Yuan Yuan, who was in a panic, and gently

Open the door to see if Queen Wen is awake.

Yan Huai also came, accompanying Yuan Yuan and waiting outside the door for Queen Wen to stand up and summon them, but Nanny Tang had not seen her figure for half a quarter of an hour after entering.

Just as he was about to open the door and enter, the intermittent sobs of Nanny Tang could be heard in the room. Yan Huai's heart sank, he violently opened the door and went straight to Queen Wen's bed.

Nanny Tang hugged the lifeless Queen Wen and cried bitterly, "Master...Master...my poor master..."

"Auntie..." Yuan Yuan grabbed the corner of Yan Huai's clothes and called out to Queen Wen in fear, hoping that the gentle voice would respond to her.

Nanny Tang looked at Yan Huai who was frozen in place with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, your Majesty..."

"Shut up!" Yan Huai glared at Nanny Tang fiercely. He would never allow anyone to remind him of the unacceptable fact.

Yuan Yuan looked at Queen Wen in Nanny Tang's arms, and then at the furious Yan Huai, and couldn't help but throw herself on Queen Wen and burst into tears.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

The palace people outside the room all knelt on the ground, and Siwan Courtyard seemed to have stopped, leaving only the sound of sad sobs.

Xiao Dezi stumbled towards the Qinzhengyuan. When Huan received the news, he was stunned. He cried and reported to Emperor Yan in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty! The Queen..."
