Zhen Huan was no longer bothered to act at this moment. She pulled her hand back from the emperor, her smile cold and indifferent. She curled her lips and spoke in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, have a safe journey. I will take care of your harem and find a few young concubines to serve you. I will definitely not treat myself badly!"

The emperor was furious. He glared at Zhen Huan with gritted teeth and cursed.

"You unfaithful woman, you are my concubine and the adoptive mother of the fourth son. Even if I die, you must remain pure for me. Otherwise, even a hundred years later, I will never forgive you."

Zhen Huan covered her lips and chuckled, with no sadness in her eyes. After acting for so long, the time had finally come to break up. She felt only relief in her heart. After all, the emperor was not worth lingering on.

"When Empress Chunyuan passed away, why didn't the Emperor maintain his purity? Instead, he took in countless concubines. How dare you, with your filthy body, mention the word purity?"

The emperor raised his hand to slap Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan grabbed his hand.

He was furious. "How dare you, you wicked woman, speak to me like that! Someone, come!"

Zhen Huan sat beside the bed, "Your Majesty, there is no one else here except you and me. Your fate is almost over, so it's better for you to die early. The Empress Dowager is still waiting for you."

The emperor was angry. He didn't understand why Huanhuan, who used to be considerate and gentle, spoke so harshly. What had changed about her?

"Huan'er, the friendship between you and me over the years is true. Now that I am about to die, can you call me Silang again?"

As he spoke, he wanted to hold Zhen Huan's hand, but Zhen Huan shook him off.

She sneered, her voice filled with determination.

"Why not? Your Majesty, when you named me Consort Wan, wasn't it because of Queen Chunyuan's maiden name? And when you liked me, wasn't it because I looked so much like Queen Chunyuan?"

How long can I serve the king with my beauty? Zhen Huan thought of what she said that came true and could only smile helplessly.

People are always unable to predict the unknown, and her appearance and talent do not attract people who are not compatible with her.

It's just a stand-in, nothing more than a stand-in.

The emperor opened his eyes wide and wanted to explain, but he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Finally, when he was on his deathbed, he was no longer as high-spirited as before.

"You know... Huanhuan, you know everything. It's all in the past. It turns out you still hate me after all."

He tried to wipe away the tears in Zhen Huan's eyes gently as if he was coaxing a child, but was avoided.

"Hanhuan, have you ever loved me?"

Zhen Huan's mind flashed back to the sweetness they had experienced in the past. He had once treated her like a treasure, doting her the most in the harem, and seemed irreplaceable. But there was so much between them.

If she was not a substitute for Queen Chunyuan, perhaps she would not mind this matter.

She closed her eyes and tears slowly fell.

"Never."

The sound of the emperor falling heavily came from behind him. He called out "Huan'er" softly, and finally passed away.

Zhen Huan held onto the red wall and stumbled out of the Yangxin Palace. The concubines asked with concern.

"Your Highness, how is the Emperor?"

Zhen Huan's armor wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice trembled, and then sounded like a wail.

"The emperor has passed away."

Everyone followed Su Peisheng and stumbled into the Yangxin Palace, where they saw the emperor had closed his eyes and was no longer alive.

Su Peisheng stroked his whisk and finally said.

"The emperor has passed away."

The Forbidden City was no longer peaceful. The funeral bells rang and the news of the emperor's death spread throughout the court and the country. That night, all the ministers entered the palace to meet the emperor and did not leave until late at night.

The sky in the capital will eventually change.
