Yan Wan had long guessed that Empress Fucha was in a poor condition, but she didn't know it would be so bad.

Is the Queen...going to abandon me and follow Yong Cong? !

Tears rolled down her cheeks, filled with grief, grievance, and helpless fear and terror.

Su Lian wiped her tears and said with a choked voice, "Ever since Prince Daomin was buried, the queen has been unable to eat or drink. Even if she forced herself to eat something because she was afraid that we would worry, she would always vomit it out quickly.

If it weren't for the worry that you hadn't woken up yet, the queen wouldn't even eat. The queen... she started to lose her energy and spirit four days ago. I'm really scared..."

She didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that something bad might come true.

Yan Wan hurriedly wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "The queen is so sad that she can't express it."

Four days ago, wasn't it after she woke up?

If the queen is willing to hold her breath for her, then she must continue to hold her breath. How can she win her heart and then abandon her halfway?

She hurried to the bedside, knelt down, and called her softly: "Madam, Madam, Wanwan is here to see you. How come you have lost so much weight?"

Empress Fucha's eyelashes trembled, and she turned her head with difficulty to look at Yan Wan. Before she could say anything, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

This child's chin is so thin that it's out of shape.

She weakly raised her hand and touched Yan Wan's face: "Good child, I, I thank you."

If she hadn't carried Yongcong out that day, she wouldn't have been able to see her child for the last time.

She knew how difficult this matter was. If she didn't understand her mother's heart, how could Yan Wan dare to touch the corpse of the legitimate son of the Qing Dynasty?

She took a deep breath, her voice so weak that it was inaudible: "Eat well, I'm fine, don't be afraid."

How could Yanwan not be afraid?

Her mother's heart and eyes were filled with only her brother. When her mother was away, she couldn't stop crying. What's more, Empress Fucha treated her so sincerely and made her know what a mother's love was for the first time?

Tears streamed down her cheeks and she shook her head repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look at me. I'm so scared. I'm so scared. You've lost so much weight. Are you going to abandon me and the princess and go find Prince Daomin alone?"

She cried loudly: "Who in this palace would really treat me and the princess well? There are so many open and secret attacks. The princess and I are stupid. If we don't have our mother to take care of us, we will only be plotted to death!"

She had no image at all. Sometimes she called herself a concubine, sometimes she called herself "I", and sometimes she called herself a slave, like a frightened child.

Jing Jue burst into tears when she heard this outside. She rushed in, knelt on the bed, grabbed Empress Fucha's other hand, opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't control her tears:

"The Empress Dowager only wants sons and not daughters? Wuwuwuwu..."

She had always prided herself on her status as a legitimate daughter, and even when she came in to cry these past two days, she had been holding back her emotions, not daring to let her fear and fear pour out. But now, after hearing Yan Wan's words and crying, she could no longer control herself.

The two girls cried together like this, and even if Empress Fucha's soul drifted far away with Yongcong, she was pulled back by the heartache.

"Don't cry, don't cry. It's my fault. I was so busy grieving that I forgot about you two."

"Su Lian, go find the imperial physician. I need to take my medicine properly!"

"Lianxin, bring me some food!"

If you vomit after eating, eat something new. When you are full, take medicine properly.

Yan Wan was right. How could she feel comfortable leaving these two children behind like that?

She must support them both. Even if one day she can no longer support them, she must pave a way out for the two children before she dares to close her eyes!

Yan Wan cried with joy: "Your Majesty! Oh, Your Majesty really still cares about me and the princess!"

Jing Jing couldn't stop crying: "Wuwuwu!"

……

The Changchun Palace was still plain in color, but it seemed to be gradually beginning to show new vitality as the new buds of spring turned green.

In the main hall, Empress Fucha looked out the window at Yanwan and Jingjue who were reading together. The corners of her mouth raised gently, but when she looked at Qi Ru, they slowly fell:

"No need to be so hesitant. You have been looking at me for several days. It is time to get a result."

Qi Ru lifted up her skirt and knelt down: "Your Majesty's body is not in good condition. It is best not to have any emotional fluctuations. If you take good care of yourself, you can at least... you can stay safe for a few years."

Empress Fucha's face turned slightly pale, but her expression was compassionate and calm.

She knew her own body well. She had already been hurt by the excessive grief after Yonglian's death. Later, before she had recovered, she forced herself to get pregnant and gave birth to Yongcong, which hurt her body again.

The successive blows and the years of depression, jealousy and anger have made it impossible to recover even if we offer the best food in the world.

She looked at Qi Ru and said, "The emperor has been very sad and depressed. Now he finally starts to summon the concubines. Please don't tell him about my situation and make him worry more."

Qi Ru wanted to say something but stopped.

Empress Fucha said in a deep voice: "Qi Ru, this is a favor that I and the Fucha family owe you, and I will naturally repay it. I heard that your youngest son has a very high talent for medicine? I will ask the emperor to transfer him to the Imperial Hospital without taking the exam, so that you can concentrate on teaching him.

Doctor Qi, you just need to take care of me as usual. If the emperor asks, just avoid the main point and say that I am actively taking medicine and my body is getting better every day. After two years, I will arrange for you to retire with honors. I will make my own arrangements at that time... It will not involve you and Doctor Qi."

Qi Ru could only kowtow and thank her: "Yes! I just ask you to take care of yourself, don't overwork yourself, and don't be too sad or too happy, otherwise..."

He didn't dare to say anything more, but everyone present understood.

For Empress Fucha, fatigue and extreme mood swings were a sure way to death.

After Qi Ru left, Empress Fucha looked at Su Lian and Lian Xin with red eyes and tears, and smiled gently:

"Don't cry. If those two kids figure out what's going on, I'll be worried about how to comfort them every day."

Su Lian and Lian Xin almost burst into tears on the spot, but quickly suppressed their emotions and responded respectfully.

Su Lian begged, "My Lady, I will listen to you and tell you everything. Please, let me stay with you!"

If the Empress was fine, she would be driven out, but knowing that this would be a farewell forever, how could she dare to leave?

Empress Fucha looked at Su Lian deeply.

Su Lian was about to kneel down and kowtow.

Empress Fucha sighed softly, "Get up. You've hit your head. That crying Yan Wan should notice it. This child has a tough temper and a sharp mind. Even I don't dare to comfort her easily."

Su Lian was overjoyed. This meant she was allowed to stay!

She hurriedly turned her head away to wipe away her tears, walked up to him, and lowered her voice to tell him everything about her past dealings with Concubine Jia.

In the courtyard, Yan Wan looked up towards the main hall and saw Empress Fucha smiling at her, and she felt a surge of attachment and tenderness in her heart.

She knew it.

She came back to enjoy this life.

More and more people love her, and she has even become a concubine. Things will get better and better in the future.

Jing Jing stuffed her mouth with snacks: "Wan Wan, hurry up, it's your turn. You're distracted when playing with me! Be careful or I'll ignore you, hum!"
