In Shoukang Palace, the two eunuchs who came to summon Jiang Yueyang knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

One of them trembled and said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty has taken Lord Xiao Jiang...out of the palace, and...you also said that Your Majesty has Guo Yuanzheng and others to take care of her...that's enough. I hope Your Majesty will not...falsely convey His Majesty's wishes again, otherwise..."

"What else can we do?" roared the Queen Mother.

The two eunuchs immediately knelt even lower, almost crawling on the ground, their bodies shaking even more violently.

"Is he going to execute me?" The Queen Mother gasped rapidly, as if she was about to die in the next second.

Seeing this, the head aunt quickly reached out to help her calm down, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. His Majesty is only angry for a moment. Once he calms down, he will definitely send that person to rescue you. The most important thing now is for your Majesty to take care of yourself and then find a way to ease the relationship with His Majesty."

"Can I still reconcile with that unfilial son? He clearly knew Jiang Yueyang could save me, but he didn't order her to come and even stopped her from coming."

"Of course, your Majesty and His Majesty are blood-thicker than water. As long as your Majesty is willing to ease the mother-son relationship, it will definitely be possible."

"No, he really doesn't want me this time..."

In the next few days, the empress dowager tried to win back Emperor Yuan's heart while looking for an opportunity to call Jiang Yueyang to Shoukang Palace.

However, this time Emperor Yuan seemed really cruel and ignored the Empress Dowager, allowing her to spend her last days alone in Shoukang Palace.

The Left Prime Minister, Lord Wei and others had thought that if His Majesty proposed to spend money to buy the medical cabin to save the Queen Mother, they would die in protest.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not even mention it. He went to court as usual, ate as usual, and one day even went to the Supervisory Office to attend a lecture.

Moreover, they also heard that His Majesty had been preventing Lord Xiao Jiang from going to Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother sent people to summon Lord Xiao Jiang more than once, but every time His Majesty kidnapped Lord Xiao Jiang halfway for various reasons.

As time passed, the Queen Mother's condition worsened, and Gu Ling'er's acupuncture could no longer relieve her pain.

In the end, the Queen Mother died after battling the disease for twenty-eight days.

Emperor Yuan came to Shoukang Palace to see her for the last time before she died.

When the empress dowager saw Emperor Yuan standing in front of the bed, her originally dazed eyes gradually became fierce.

She forced herself to take her last breath, raised her hand and slapped Emperor Yuan: "Unfilial son, you... you have such a cruel heart. I... I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you, but you watched me die without saving me. You watched me die."

Emperor Yuan had a calm expression, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, "Why do you say that? I've already ordered the Imperial Hospital to do its utmost to treat him, and I've also asked Miss Ling'er from Yaoling Valley to watch over him day and night. How could I just stand by and watch him die without helping?"

"You obviously know..."

The Queen Mother's words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them. Then she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her breath became weaker and weaker.

She raised her hand with difficulty and pointed at Emperor Yuan, saying weakly, "You killed me, you... you will be punished..."

After she finished speaking, her hands dropped weakly, her eyes were wide open, and she died with her eyes open.

The royal family members present immediately called out to the Queen Mother and started crying.

Emperor Yuan looked at the empress dowager, his eyes still calm, and he just gently raised his hand to close her eyes.

Until their death, the mother and son never reconciled.

The Queen Mother's funeral was grand and the whole country was in mourning.

Emperor Yuan sent part of the treasures left for Prince Rong to him according to her arrangements for her belongings.

Why is it a part?

Because the Queen Mother left all her property to Prince Rong, that amount was enough to make a family powerful.

He had to defend.

One month after the Queen Mother's death, invitations to Jiang Yueyang and Lu Yunting's wedding were sent out one after another.

Although Emperor Yuan and his family could not come, their two families still sent invitations to the palace.

King Yan held the invitation personally delivered by Jiang Yueyang in silence for a long time. This day finally came.

Should he...

Nian Gao (Prince Yan's personal eunuch) who was standing by couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw him looking so sad.

Their Highness is so good, why can't Lord Xiao Jiang see it?

Prince Yan slowly opened the invitation, his eyes fell on Jiang Yueyang's name, and suddenly curled the corners of his mouth.

He was glad that it was not convenient for him to attend her wedding and he didn't have to watch her marry someone else.

If he had not chosen to hide his feelings in the beginning because of his consideration for his brother the Crown Prince, would there be a possibility between him and her?

"Your Highness." Nian Gao finally couldn't help but speak.

"I'm fine." Prince Yan slowly put down the invitation. "I've prepared a gift for her. You can give it to her for me that day."

After saying this, he stood up and went into the inner hall.

On the other side, Jiang Yueyang personally wrote Ye Wuhen's name on an invitation.

She blew away the wet ink, then walked over to Lu Yunting, took his hand, and said with a smile, "Ayue, let's go give the invitation to Ye Wuhen."

Hearing this, Lu Yunting smiled slightly, raised his hand to stroke her cheek and said, "Go by yourself."

"You won't go with me?" Jiang Yueyang frowned slightly.

Lu Yunting shook his head. "It's better for you to go by yourself. I'll wait for you at home."

"Ok?"

"Go."

Jiang Yueyang didn't know why he didn't go with her, but seeing that he didn't want to explain, she didn't ask any more questions, nodded at him and went out.

Lu Yunting looked at her departing back and thought to himself that it would be too hurtful for him to go with her.

Soon, Jiang Yueyang came to Ye Wuhen's shop accompanied by Guyu.

Ye Wuhen was very happy to see her coming to see him, but the moment he saw the invitation, the smile on his face instantly faded.

He took the invitation stiffly and forced a smile, "You...you're getting married?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Yueyang nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, please come early then! You are my most important friend!"

Ye Wuhen moved his lips and responded with difficulty, "Okay."

It was impossible for him to go. It was already a good thing that he didn't go to grab the bride that day.

Jiang Yueyang smiled happily, "Then I'll go back first. Ah Yue is still waiting for me at home."

She waved to Ye Wuhen and said, "Be sure to come early!"

After she left, Ye Wuhen sat on the stool in a daze, the invitation in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

He thought he could calmly accept the fact that she was going to marry someone else, but when he really faced it, he found that he couldn't do it at all.

His heart seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Canglang, who was standing by, looked at him, wanting to say something but hesitant, and in the end said nothing.

Time flies, day and night pass by, and in the blink of an eye it is the day of Jiang Yueyang and Lu Yunting's wedding.
