Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
About fifteen minutes later, the Emperor’s furious roar suddenly rang out, followed by the imperial physicians’ pleas for mercy.
Zhou Ying took a glance and found that Sun Miaoke was already dead.
Moreover, her face and lips were black and blue. Without looking, she could guess that Sun Miaoke was dead. She died for the Emperor.
When she thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Soon, Eunuch Qian ran out and was stunned when he saw the people waiting outside. Then, he said with a pained expression, “The Empress has passed away.”.
After saying that, he went to find someone to ring the death bell.
Everyone immediately kneeled and cried.
“No, that’s impossible.” The Grand Scholar Sun staggered and quickly ran into the room after he finished speaking.
When he saw the Emperor kneeling in front of the bed and Qing Tao lying on the bed, crying her heart out, his heart sank, and his mind buzzed. His body fell forward stiffly.
Fortunately, a young eunuch saw the situation and quickly rushed over to his body.
The little eunuch, who had been knocked into a daze, couldn’t care less about his discomfort. He immediately shouted, “Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Save the Grand Scholar Sun!”
After the Emperor heard this, he turned his head and saw the Grand Scholar Sun lying on the ground. He immediately asked the doctor, who was kneeling on the ground, to go over and treat him.
When the few imperial physicians heard this, they immediately rushed over to save him. They knew that after the deaths of the retired Emperor and the Empress, the Emperor’s heart had reached its limit.
If something happened to the Grand Scholar Sun, they would very likely face a catastrophe.
Fortunately, the Grand Scholar Sun was just struck by grief. He would be fine after a good recuperation.
After the Emperor received the news, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he sent someone to arrange for Grand Scholar Sun to go to the side hall.
He requested that Qing Tao take out the Phoenix Seal and hand it to Gu Wanning.
He then saw Consort Xian and stepped forward. “I’ll have to trouble you to help Wanning with the Empress’ funeral.”
“I obey your decree.” Consort Xian quickly bowed.
After that, she brought people into the house and first changed the Empress into her court clothes. Then, she tidied up her appearance and carried her to the door.
The Emperor looked at Zhou Ying and asked, “You were the one who shouted at the city gate, right?”
“Yes, at that time, I felt something dazzling. Then, I vaguely saw an arrow, so…” Zhou Ying lowered her head.
“It’s not your fault. If it’s convenient, go to the palace more often to accompany Wanning.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he walked out tiredly.
Zhou Ying looked at Gu Wanning.
“The palace will be even more deserted in the future. Sister-in-law, you must come to the palace to accompany me in the future,” Gu Wanning pleaded.
“I will. You have to be careful, too.” Zhou Ying replied.
Because of the Empress’s death, she did not leave the palace. Instead, she accompanied Gu Wanning with her task, helping her pass on a message and doing what she could.
The others had just arrived home and had not even changed their clothes when the death bell rang again. They immediately rushed to the palace.
On the other end, the Empress Dowager, who had just caught her breath, silently shed tears after receiving the letter. She asked the palace servants to bring the little princess over.
At her age, there was nothing she could do now. She could only take care of the child.
The Empress had died in vain. In addition, there was also the retired Emperor, so she was buried the next day.
However, it was said that the Emperor’s Imperial Mausoleum had not been built yet, so Sun Miaoke could only be temporarily placed in the retired Emperor’s mausoleum. After the Emperor’s Imperial Mausoleum was built, she would be moved over.
After the Empress was buried smoothly, Zhou Ying and Gu Chenglin finally returned home.
“Sister-in-law, will my sister be in danger?” Gu Chenglin turned his head and asked hesitatingly..
