Concubine Yao originally thought that her plan was successful, but when she got closer to him, she found something was wrong.

Because his breathing was very rapid!

She said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Before Emperor Sheng An could say anything, he spat out a lot of black blood.

He hung his head and his face looked ugly and gray.

Concubine Yao was so frightened that she turned around and tried to escape subconsciously.

But she thought of something and forced herself to look back.

She grasped Emperor Sheng'an's wrist tightly and said, "Your Majesty, please don't scare me. Tell me quickly, what's wrong with you?"

Emperor Sheng An stared at her with red eyes, squeezing out a word from between his teeth: "Go call the emperor's uncle, find Wanwan!"

Imperial Concubine Yao trembled all over and said, "What? You said you wanted to leave some words. Fine, I'll get you some paper and pen to write them down!"

She hurried to the desk and took a pen and paper in her hand.

She asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, please tell me quickly, what did you ask me to write down for you?"

Emperor Sheng An's breathing became more and more rapid, and the blue veins on his forehead almost popped out.

He didn't say anything!

But Imperial Concubine Yao wrote a long string of words on the paper. As she wrote, she said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I would rather not have such a careful arrangement from you. I just want you to live well!"

Emperor Sheng An gripped her wrist tightly, but finally took his last breath unwillingly.

Imperial Concubine Yao immediately screamed, "Someone, quickly call the imperial physician! The emperor is unconscious!"

Li Delu strode in with a bowl of freshly made willow leaf noodles. When he saw this scene, the bowl in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

The noodles were all over the floor, and the thin slices of beef were trampled into pieces.

Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan hurried into the palace, and they both received news that Emperor Sheng An was in a coma.

Along the way, both of them looked solemn and ugly.

As soon as they entered the emperor's bedroom, they heard Xiao Ling's heart-wrenching cry: "Father, please don't abandon me, please, please open your eyes and look at me!"

Lin Yiwan paused, and cold sweat immediately broke out on her back.

Zhan Yan promptly held her hand and comforted her: "Wanwan!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "I'm ready!"

The two of them strode into the bedroom and saw several imperial doctors standing nearby with depressed looks on their faces, while Xiao Ling was crying like a tearful child.

Seeing Lin Yiwan was like grabbing a lifeline. He pleaded hoarsely, "Aunt Wan, please save my father. Your medical skills are the best. My father said that if you take action, you can snatch his life back from the hands of the King of Hell!"

Lin Yiwan soothed him softly, "Don't cry, Ling'er. Aunt Wan will save him!"

She quickly took Emperor Sheng An's pulse and found that his breathing was very weak.

She couldn't help but look at Li Delu: "Wasn't he fine before? Why did he suddenly become like this?"

Li Delu wiped his tears and said, "The Emperor suddenly wanted to eat the willow leaf noodles that I made myself. I couldn't bear to refuse his request, so I went to the imperial kitchen to make noodles. However, after I left for a while, the Emperor fell into a coma. Imperial Concubine Yao was guarding him at the time!"

Imperial Concubine Yao was crying miserably at this point. She sobbed and explained, "I brought food to the Emperor, but before he could even take a bite, he started vomiting blood. He probably knew his time was up, so he only left a few words for me!"

Lin Yiwan subconsciously asked, "What?"

Imperial Concubine Yao spoke timidly, "I can't tell you now. The Emperor has ordered that I can only tell you in front of Prince Li and the important officials of the court!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a cold voice coming from outside: "You can speak now!"

It was Prince Li and several important officials in the court headed by Prime Minister Meng.

Imperial Concubine Yao spoke quickly, "Reporting to Prince Li, the Emperor said that if he dies, the eldest prince Xiao Ling will inherit the throne, and I will be his queen mother and handle all matters concerning the harem for him!"

After saying this, he bowed respectfully and said, "King Qingli, please make the decision for us mother and son!"

King Li's cold eyes fell on her, as if they wanted to see through her.

Lin Yiwan's eyes kept changing. She never expected that Emperor Sheng An would leave such words. Did he trust Concubine Yao so much?

After a deathly silence fell, Prince Li turned to look at Lin Yiwan: "Wanwan, how is your brother doing?"

Lin Yiwan replied solemnly, "She is extremely weak, there is no way to save her!"

Prince Li closed his eyes tightly, a trace of sadness flashed across his face.

He strode to the side of Emperor Sheng An and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I will support Ling'er and help him become an emperor as wise and intelligent as you!"

Perhaps it was because of his promise, the remaining breath of Emperor Sheng An suddenly stopped.

Prince Li's eyes immediately turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Ring the death knell!"

The dull bell suddenly rang, and the entire capital city fell into mourning.

Concubine Yao was a little nervous. Prince Li handled Emperor Sheng'an's funeral but did not mention a word about her title.

She wanted to meet Xiao Ling, but was stopped outside by the Royal Guards.

She was furious and couldn't help but lose her temper: "The emperor's body is still warm, and this is how you treat me? I am now the mother of the new emperor, why can't I see him?"

The Imperial Guards still refused to back down, and she even said something harsher: "What's going on? Prince Li is trying to hold the Emperor hostage as a puppet to fulfill his ambition to seize power?"

A cold and stern voice suddenly came from behind her: "How dare you slander me! Are you really that bold?"

Concubine Yao turned around subconsciously and met Prince Li's cold and sharp eyes.

No matter what, she was afraid of the cold-blooded King Li in front of her from the bottom of her heart.

She quickly explained, "Uncle, that's not what I meant. I was just angry, so I said something without thinking. I'm very worried about the new emperor. He's so young, and I'm afraid he can't bear the severe blow of losing both his mother and his father!"

Prince Li spoke slowly, "The new emperor is fine. He studies the ways of serving the country with me every day and reviews memorials. He is very diligent!"

Imperial Concubine Yao couldn't help but say with distress: "He is still so young, how can he handle so many memorials every day? I am his mother!"

Halfway through her words, she suddenly met the terrifying gaze of King Li.

She immediately changed her words: "As someone entrusted by the Emperor to take care of him, I should do my best to share his worries!"

Prince Li said indifferently, "The new emperor is self-reliant and strong. He doesn't need anyone's care. I have also been thinking for a long time about how to place the imperial concubine. I heard from Li Delu that you are very much loved by the emperor. Why don't you go to the imperial mausoleum to accompany him?"

Imperial Concubine Yao's expression suddenly changed. She retorted in disbelief, "Prince Li, what do you mean by this? Are you going to disobey the Emperor's last words?"
