When seeing the contents of the paper, Si He's eyes widened in shock. She didn't expect Yue Fuli to have such a thing in his hand.

This is a wanted poster with Ning Ji and her portrait on it.

She had seen this wanted poster before. The picture was very similar, except that Ning Ji's portrait had a mask covering his face, but the eyes were painted very similarly.

For a moment, Si He's hand holding the paper suddenly clenched, but for fear of breaking it, she immediately relaxed a little.

The tears that she had just managed to stop began to flow again, dropping drop by drop onto her clothes and legs.

She raised her eyes to look at Yue Fuli, her red eyes soaked with tears, shining with water, revealing a kind of enchanting beauty.

Her eyes contained a complex emotion of anticipation and exploration, but more of it was restrained excitement.

"Husband...what is this wanted warrant?"

When she spoke, her voice was choked and contained a subtle sense of vulnerability.

At this moment, Yue Fuli's mind was a little confused, as if it had merged with the memories of another person, but he knew in his clear perception that she was still herself.

Yue Fuli leaned back in his chair and looked at Si He with a tired expression. He was about to speak, but his throat felt a little uncomfortable.

"Cough cough cough..."

He coughed uncomfortably, and Si He hurriedly stroked his chest, then said in a soft, choked voice, "If you feel uncomfortable, just take a break. Don't talk. Would you like some water?"

After a while, Yue Fuli stopped coughing, but there was a fishy and salty taste in his mouth. He swallowed and nodded slowly.

Si He quickly poured him a glass of water and carefully fed him the water.

Yue Fuli took a sip of water and swallowed the blood remaining in his mouth back into his stomach.

At the same time, his consciousness became increasingly confused, and the memories in his mind began to become a little confused, but some things and thoughts were unusually clear.

"He, He..."

This time, his voice was even weaker than before.

"Yeah." Si He responded quickly. After putting down the cup, she wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. However, seeing him like this, her hands suddenly trembled.

"sorry……"

His words were inexplicable. After saying these three words, he paused for a long time, as if he was a little out of breath.

Si He tried not to cry, and while helping him massage his chest, she forced a smile and said, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

After a while, his eyes seemed to wander, as if he was recalling something, "When we first met... that time, I shouldn't have been so mean to you..."

Hearing him say this, Si He burst into tears again, and long-forgotten memories emerged clearly in her mind.

For a moment, she couldn't say anything, but just sobbed and stared at him.

"In the next life... you will come... to find me, okay?"

This sudden sentence made Si He open her eyes wide, but tears blocked her vision, making it blurry. As tears fell, Yue Fuli's face came into view clearly, but at this moment...

After a while, she cried and said, "Okay... then you can't be mean to me in your next life..."

"Okay..." Yue Fuli responded with a smile, then slowly raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face, "Don't cry..."

The next moment, Si He threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and cried uncontrollably.

The pavilion was filled with her crying, which was extremely sad.

Yue Fuli raised his hand with great effort and patted her back gently, trying to coax her and comfort her like he used to. However, after only two pats, his consciousness became more and more hazy and sleepy.

The strong sleepiness made him slowly close his eyes, his hand slowly slid down, and his head rested on her shoulder.

When Si He noticed his actions, she stopped crying immediately and her body froze. After a while, tears began to fall like pearls from a broken string.

She closed her eyes, still holding him tightly, and sobbed again.

"Husband...husband..."

She called out to him again and again, as helpless as an abandoned child.

But there has been no response.

Mo Mo, who was standing by, suddenly let out a low, sorrowful roar. Even the guards at the distant lakeside heard it, and they all looked over here and hurried over.

They were all aware of Yue Fuli's physical condition, and the imperial physician said that he didn't have much time left, and it might be in the near future.

So the emperor's death was not surprising.

However, seeing Si He holding Yue Fuli and crying sadly, they could only stand by quietly.

Mo Mo would growl from time to time, and the sadness in his voice could be clearly felt.

Wu Wu gently touched Yue Fuli's leg with his head and also made a few low "wuwu" sounds. He was very sad that the person he had been with for decades had died like this.

Si He hugged Yue Fuli and cried for a long time before she slowly calmed down.

The autumn wind is blowing, and it seems like the wind is blowing into my heart, making me feel cold.

She took out a white cloth and tied her eyes, because now she could no longer use her meager magic power to hide the abnormality in her eyes.

She looked at Yue Fuli through the strip of cloth and helped him straighten his collar, which was a little messy and a small part of it was wet with her tears.

No one saw her red eyes covered by the cloth.

Then she picked up the yellowed paper.

She gently touched the paper and looked at the portrait on it through the cloth, motionless for a long time before putting the paper away.

At this time, a group of people came hurriedly from outside the lake. They were the prince and Yue Fuqi.

Because the imperial physician reported Yue Fuli's physical condition to them, they all temporarily lived in the palace during this period of time.

The subsequent national mourning will be left to them to handle.

In order to demonstrate the royal majesty, the state funeral was held with great ceremony.

However, at Si He's request, many complicated rituals were eliminated, and cremation was performed to burn the body into ashes.

Many people opposed this, but Si He insisted on his own way and opposition was useless.

Moreover, Yue Fuqi also agreed with her decision, so even if the new emperor wanted to object, he couldn't.

Si He refined the ashes into bone beads as she had done before.

Her strange behavior is very puzzling, and what is even more surprising is that she wants to be buried alive!

Living burial means burying a living person in a tomb.

This kind of thing has happened in all dynasties, but rarely. The most important thing is that she did it voluntarily and was not forced.

Under her insistence, they had no choice but to obey her wishes.

As for the mausoleum, it was built long ago in Qingzhou, far away from Kyoto.

The funeral is grand, but no expensive burial objects are required.

The tombs of ancient emperors would have a lot of burial objects, but how many of them would be guarded tightly and not be robbed?

She didn't want to be disturbed by this. Besides, all her things were put into the ring. Why should she do something that would attract attention for a little vanity?
