Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Yihuan is in poor health, and her relationship with Yonghuang is not as close as that of Lujun and Yanwan.

After all, she was her old master. Remembering the friendship they had in Zhongcui Palace, Yan Wan asked Wang Chan to prepare a carriage and prepared to leave the palace to go to the eldest prince's mansion to see Yonghuang for the last time.

Lan Qi also followed.

When she arrived at the eldest prince's mansion, Yanwan hurried to Yonghuang's room.

Mrs. Ilari, her children and other female relatives knelt on the ground, their faces covered with tears.

Lujun covered her eyes with a handkerchief, trying her best to prevent her tears from falling.

Lan Qi and Yan Wan slowly approached and saw that Yonghuang's eyes were closed, his face was as pale as if it was covered with flour, his lips were cracked, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked completely lifeless.

He seemed thinner than the last time I saw Yonghuang.

Yan Wan stepped forward and called softly, "Big Prince."

Yonghuang heard it and reacted. He opened his eyes, looked at the familiar faces in front of him, slowly raised his hand, and called out, "Mother."

Lujun was resentful. It wasn't that she didn't love Yonghuang, but she loved her own child more.

But over the years, she has done her best to take care of Yonghuang, but she still hasn't heard a word of "mother" or "mother".

She knew she had no right to blame Yonghuang, so she held his hand and comforted him, "Yonghuang, Empress Chun is here. Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

Lujun touched Yonghuang's forehead.

Yonghuang held her hand in return and shook his head slightly, "Mother, I'm not calling my biological mother, Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin, but you."

But when Yonghuang really called her mother, Lujun couldn't bear it anymore. She immediately covered her mouth and couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She didn't blame Yonghuang, after all, she was the one who made the mistake first.

In the past, she hated Empress Xiaoxian and deliberately had her son Yongzhang neglected and corrupted, causing him to grow up to be unable to speak at the age of three and only know how to eat and play. Only now did she realize that she had done the same thing as Langya did back then.

Lujun originally thought that what she wanted most was to hear Yonghuang call her "mother", but now she realized that she could not bear Yonghuang calling her "mother" at all, and she felt so ashamed.

She stammered, "Yonghuang, I'm sorry, I'm not worthy of being your mother. I didn't treat you well in the past. Not only did I mistreat you, I also made you look like this. I really don't deserve you..."

Yonghuang took his last breath and wanted to get up. Seeing this, Lujun immediately supported his neck, sat on the head of the bed, and let Yonghuang lean on her.

Yonghuang closed his eyes and greedily inhaled the floral fragrance from Lujun. How long had it been since his mother held him like this?

His mother's surname was also Fucha, but unlike Empress Xiaoxian, hers was only a branch of the Fucha clan. Naturally, their statuses were vastly different. Fucha Langya was a legitimate wife, while his mother, Fucha Chuying, was merely a princess from the imperial court.

When he was finally about to get through it, his mother died of complications during childbirth, taking her with her younger sister. He was only five years old at the time.

He had long forgotten the smell of his mother.

When Yonghuang opened his eyes, Yanwan was standing in front of him crying.

He waved to Yan Wan, who stepped forward, shook Yong Huang's cold hand, and choked with sobs, "Big Brother..."

The corners of Yonghuang's lips curled up slightly. When Yanwan was still a palace maid, she was very kind to him. She would accompany him to practice calligraphy and do homework, and she would also stand up for him when Lujun took Yongzhang to see the emperor without taking him.

Such a kind and good girl suddenly disappeared one day. Yonghuang was very worried and ran to find Lujun.

But at that time, Lujun didn't care about Yonghuang's thoughts at all, and even felt impatient. She found a random excuse to send Yonghuang away, saying that Yanwan had an acute illness and died suddenly.

Yonghuang cried, he had lost another ray of light in his life. Long ago, he had also regarded Ruyi as a light, and he desperately grasped that faint trace of happiness.

Yonghuang went to bed early that day. He knew Ruyi was beside him, but he also knew that only by being obedient and a good boy could he gain the care of Ruyi and the emperor. Ruyi coaxed him until the emperor entered the room.

Hongli put his arm around Ruyi's waist and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping Yonghuang. Ruyi rested her chin on Hongli's shoulder and said happily, "Your Majesty, I will give birth to a good child like Yonghuang for you in the future. In the future, our family of three will live happily together."

Yonghuang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his hands clenched silently. It turned out that he had always been an outsider.

She taught herself that there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and that only by becoming a crown prince or emperor could one control his own destiny...

"Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly Yonghuang coughed up blood. Lujun was extremely nervous. She covered his lips with a white handkerchief, which was stained bright red.

"Imperial Physician, hurry..." Yan Wan shouted hurriedly.

The imperial physician was about to step forward to examine Yonghuang, but Yonghuang waved his hand and said, "No need. I know my own body."

Lan Qi looked outside the door and saw a figure. She knew Hongli was standing in the corridor opposite. She also knew that Hongli wanted to see Yonghuang very much, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He was also afraid that Yonghuang would leave after seeing him. He had already lost three princes in succession and really didn't want to experience the pain of separation again.

Lan Qi retreated while they were talking.

"Yan Wan, no, I should call you Empress Ling now. I'm sorry that I didn't protect you well back then. You were abducted by Concubine Jia because of the Imperial Noble Concubine, and you suffered for so many years."

Yan Wan shook her head. "Brother, there's no need to talk about it. It's all in the past. Now, your health is the top priority."

"I know I'm dying, and I just hope... never mind, he won't come." Yonghuang glanced eagerly at the door and continued, "Mother Chun, Yonghuang wants to ask you a favor."

Lujun turned her head away, feeling somewhat reluctant, "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

"Mian De and Mian En are still young. When your son passes away, I hope that Mother Chun will take care of them because Min Qing and you are aunt and nephew, okay?" Yonghuang pleaded.

Lujun responded.

Lan Qi walked out of the room, came behind Hongli, and called softly, "Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Hongli raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Not wanting others to see his vulnerable side, he turned around and said with a smile, "It's Concubine Cheng, have you visited Yonghuang? Is he... okay?"

Hongli's tone seemed relaxed, but his scarlet eyes betrayed him.

Lan Qi shook her head. "Your Majesty must have heard that the eldest prince is a very bad person. Although I am his concubine mother in name only, I have no connection with him. But now I see that he is pitiful. It's been two years. Your Majesty, do you still remember what the eldest prince looked like back then?"

"Your Majesty, please go in and see him. Will you regret it only after the eldest prince has truly passed away?"

The corners of Hongli's mouth twitched. He really didn't know what to do.

Finally, under Lan Qi's persuasion, he took a step forward and walked into Yonghuang's house.
