The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the curtains and onto the carpet in the Yikang Palace, casting a desolate light and shadow.

The atmosphere in Yikang Palace was extremely solemn, and the emperor's face was also extremely heavy: "A bunch of useless people, what's the point of me keeping a bunch of useless people like you? You can't even cure the empress dowager!"

A group of imperial doctors kneeling on the ground were trembling and dared not speak.

The Queen Mother coughed heavily and said weakly: "Emperor...let them all go..."

However, before she could finish her words, she started coughing violently again. Her face was as pale as paper and she looked very sick. Her end was near.

Xiao Yihang, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up and helped the empress dowager calm down: "Grandmother, please take care of yourself."

The Eighth Princess also had a sad face and said, "Wuwu...Grandmother, please don't be anxious. If you have something to say, please speak slowly... Wuwu..."

Xiao Jun'an, who was standing by, also pursed his lips and gently advised, "Yes, Grandmother, our fourth brother hasn't come back yet, you must hold on."

Hearing about the Prince of Yan, the Queen Mother burst into tears: "Han'er... Is there still no news about him?"

She is old and has various health problems. Especially the recent series of blows have made her physical condition take a sharp turn for the worse.

When she thought about the fact that her Han'er's life or death was still unknown, the worry and anxiety in her heart were like a huge rock pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

Especially since he can't see!

When she thought of this, she was so angry that she couldn't breathe. She glared at the emperor and said, "Emperor!"

The emperor said with an indistinct expression: "Mother, I have sent Pei Zhiyan there, I believe there will be news soon..."

He did not deliberately delay on this matter.

As for whether Xiao Hanye can come back, it all depends on his luck.

It would be a lie to say I didn't feel sorry for his son.

Xiao Yihang was even more worried about his fourth brother, but at the same time he was also worried about the Queen Mother. The imperial physician had just said that the Queen Mother would not survive the day. Looking at the Queen Mother's pale old face, he choked up and said, "Grandmother, don't worry about my fourth brother. He is a lucky person and nothing will happen to him. He survived the difficult days of being exiled to Yanzhou..."

The Eighth Princess also burst into tears and said, "Yes, Grandmother, my fourth brother is a skilled warrior and a man of wisdom. He will definitely return safely. His current situation is not as difficult as it was in Yanzhou... Woo woo..."

Looking at the two children saying "Yanzhou" over and over again, the old emperor felt like he was slapped in the face.

But looking at the sick face of the Queen Mother, he couldn't get angry, so he could only slowly say: "Mother, look at you, you scared Yaoyao to tears."

As he said that, he reached out and took Xiao Xiaoyao from Xiaotao's hands. This was the first time he held Xiao Xiaoyao, who was as small as Changning. Xiao Xiaoyao probably felt the heavy atmosphere, and she pouted her lips with watery eyes, as if she was about to cry.

Sure enough, the moment he took it, she burst into tears.

Looking at her big watery eyes, the watery eyes of Xiao Hanye in the imperial study that day immediately jumped into his mind, and that extremely uncomfortable feeling instantly swept over his body. Fortunately, Sizhu was quick to catch Xiao Xiaoyao, otherwise, Xiao Xiaoyao would have been thrown down by him...

Sizhu couldn't help but narrow her eyes, but she calmly placed Xiao Xiaoyao next to the Queen Mother.

Looking at the crying Xiao Xiaoyao, the Queen Mother's heart softened all of a sudden. Normally, she didn't think Xiao Xiaoyao looked like Han'er, but when she started crying, she did, especially her watery eyes. The charm in them was almost exactly the same, so much so that she felt dazed for a moment...

Yes, her Han'er cried once when he came to seek refuge as a child, and since then, she has never seen him cry again...

It's so small, a two or three year old child has the mind to protect himself...

She felt pain when she thought about it...

Her Han'er is obviously the child who looks most like her Che'er...

Except for the look in their eyes, they look almost identical...

But why are the two of them so incompatible...

When she thought of this, she felt a pang in her heart again and started coughing heavily...

Afraid of scaring the little princess, she waved her hand to signal Xiaotao to carry her down.

But she couldn't stop coughing, and for a moment, she even felt like she was coughing out her heart, liver, and lungs...

Looking at the bright red blood on the handkerchief, everyone panicked...

"Imperial doctor!"

The old emperor was also panicking. Looking at his mother, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. After coughing, the queen mother suddenly became energetic. She called softly, "Che'er, let them all leave. Mother has something to tell you..."

Hearing the long-lost "Che'er", the old emperor was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to his childhood when his mother gently called his name...
