The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

It was not until the maid beside her whispered a reminder that she came to her senses and hurried forward to help her up, "Sister, please get up quickly. You have suffered so much over the years."

The two talked a lot and had a very pleasant conversation. Although Li Yi looked like a little white rabbit, he spoke frankly and knew a lot of interesting things in the market. He was very popular for a while.

Li Yi was a low-key and cautious person. She never took off her veil when outsiders were around, and she stayed far away from the emperor, being extremely sensible.

But within two days, everyone had a very good opinion of her, so she stayed in the palace as Concubine Luo's cousin.

Concubine Luo also completely trusted Li Yi as her sister and no longer had any guard against her.

Li Yi's weight in Concubine Luo's palace became increasingly important, like a female official.

It so happened that the previous female official was old and unable to do the job, so she submitted her resignation. So Concubine Luo really asked the emperor for grace to let her stay in the palace as a female official, and all the palace maids and eunuchs obeyed her orders.

As time went by, Li Yi's arrival did not cause any splash.

Until one day, when Concubine Luo was chatting with Concubine Yu, she saw that she was coughing all the time and asked, "Yaoyao, why are you coughing so badly? Have you consulted the imperial physician?"

Concubine Yu took a big sip of water, suppressed it, and said, "I've checked it out. It's just a common cold. It will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine. You don't have to worry."

Concubine Luo repeatedly reminded her to take the medicine on time before leaving.

There will be a banquet in the palace, and because Concubine Yu is ill, this matter falls on Concubine Luo's head. Therefore, she has been very busy these days and has not gone to Concubine Yu's palace.

Unexpectedly, when Concubine Luo saw Concubine Yu again, she was already terminally ill.

When she heard the news, she ran over and saw the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, the emperor with a tired look on his face beside the bed, and Concubine Yu who was pale and thin and could not get out of bed.

She ran over, looked at the lifeless Imperial Concubine Yu, angrily grabbed the collar of the imperial physician closest to her, and angrily asked, "What's going on? Isn't it just a minor cold? How did you become like this?"

The imperial physician replied tremblingly, "Your Highness, calm down. It is indeed a cold. It should be cured by taking a few doses of medicine. However, Your Highness has a special constitution and is weak. The cold has developed rapidly. There is nothing I can do..."

Concubine Luo didn't want to hear what he said next, so she pushed him to the ground.

"A bunch of useless people, you can't cure a minor cold? Then tell me, what's the point of supporting you with such a huge monthly salary?!"

After saying that, she turned around, held Concubine Yu's hand, and tears began to fall from her eyes.

"Yaoyao, how are you? It's all my fault. I haven't come to see you these days."

Concubine Yu tried hard to force a smile, "Shanshan, don't say that. This is my fate. It has nothing to do with whether you come or not."

"Your Majesty..." After a few words, Concubine Yu couldn't stop coughing, and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth. Concubine Luo immediately wiped her blood with a handkerchief, her eyes full of grief.

The emperor immediately asked, "I'm here, Yao'er, you can tell me anything."

Imperial Concubine Yu used a lot of effort to stop coughing, "Your Majesty, please don't blame the doctors. They have tried their best. Let them go. I have something to say to you two alone."

"Get out of here!"

The imperial doctors felt relieved. They were really afraid that the emperor was serious when he shouted angrily that they should be buried with him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

After saying this, he stumbled away quickly, fearing that the emperor would go back on his word.

"Your Majesty, after I leave..."

"Don't talk nonsense. You are not allowed to go anywhere. You can only stay by my side."

"I also want to stay with the emperor all the time, but I can't do it..." The smile that Concubine Yu tried hard to put on was full of bitterness.

Concubine Yu felt the coldness on her hands and looked up. The emperor, the supreme ruler of a country, now had silent tears all over his face and was crying like a child.

No one spoke for a while. When the emperor calmed down a little, Concubine Yu continued to speak with difficulty, "Your Majesty, Shanshan is my sworn sister and my best friend. You must treat her well and not let others bully her."

"Okay, I promise you."

"As for our son, don't let him do things he doesn't like, let him grow up happily and without worries."

"Yao'er, don't worry, I promise you everything."

Concubine Yu looked at Concubine Luo, "Shanshan, please take good care of Chen'er for me and treat her as your own child. Even if you have your own child in the future, can you please not ignore him?"

Concubine Luo said solemnly, "Yaoyao, don't worry, I won't have any children in the future. Chen'er is my only son, and I will definitely raise him to grow up safely."

Unexpectedly, Imperial Concubine Yu shook her head and said, "Shanshan, don't say that. Children are all fate. The one that's yours will come eventually, and the one that's not yours can't be forced. If you get pregnant in the future, just give birth to the child. It's good for Chen'er to have a brother or sister."

Concubine Yu spoke incoherently and with great difficulty.

Concubine Luo said immediately, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Yaoyao, stop talking. Save your energy and rest well. Maybe in a few days, your illness will heal just like you suddenly fell ill."

Concubine Yu shook her head. She knew her body. She looked up and saw Xiao Mingchen hiding at the door with half of his head exposed. She called out gently, "Chen'er, come here."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingchen trotted over. He was still young and didn't understand what life and death meant. He only knew that his mother was sick and felt very uncomfortable, so he had to be a good boy and not make his mother angry.

"Mother, I have been very well behaved these past few days and have not been naughty. The teacher even praised me for my good memorization today."

Looking at Xiao Mingchen's proud expression, Concubine Yu patted his head lovingly, "Chen'er is great. You must be a good boy in the future and listen to Empress Shan more."

Xiao Mingchen didn't know why Concubine Yu said that, but he nodded anyway.

After saying a few words, Imperial Concubine Yu looked at Xiao Mingchen reluctantly and said to Imperial Concubine Luo, "Shanshan, take Chen'er out for a walk. I want to be alone with the emperor for a while."

"Okay." Concubine Luo led Xiao Mingchen to a pavilion not far away to play chess, but her eyes were always looking towards the direction of Concubine Yu's palace.

Not long after, a sad voice rang out, "Noble Concubine Luo has passed away!"

The chess piece in her hand instantly slipped to the ground with a dull sound.

Xiao Mingchen picked up the chess piece and asked, "Madam Shan, did he say that my mother has passed away? What does passed away mean?"

Concubine Luo hugged him and buried his face in her arms to prevent him from seeing her tears.
