The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

After saying this, Concubine Yu looked at Jiang Wantang in front of her, her eyes still tinged with nostalgia for her old friend: "These are the past events I knew back then. After I went mad, I know nothing anymore."

"Good boy, if you have anything else to ask, ask me now before I die..."

Concubine Yu's voice became increasingly weaker, and she was at the end of her strength.

Jiang Wantang's eyes were already deep red, with tears welling up in them.

She suppressed her grief and choked up slightly as she spoke, "Aunt Yue, you once said not to mention Empress Dowager Wende in front of Ji Wuyuan. Why?"

"Why did Ji Wuyuan destroy the Nangong clan as soon as he ascended the throne?"

Concubine Yu sighed softly and said, "Ever since the late emperor was still alive, the Empress Dowager's name has been a taboo in this palace. Anyone who dares to mention it will be killed."

"You should know that there is not a single trace of her existence in this palace. Not even a portrait can be found. Almost all the palace servants from that time are dead."

"If Ji Wuyuan knew even a little bit about the inside story, it would be impossible for him to be free of resentment."

“As for why he wanted to destroy the Nangong clan?

"I guess it has something to do with his biological mother."

"It is said that the death of Ji Wuyuan's biological mother was related to the Nangong clan."

"And the one the Nangong clan has always supported in the court has always been the Seventh Prince Ji Wuwang."

"If I remember correctly, Ji Wuwang's mother's family seems to be related to the Nangong clan..."

Having said this, Concubine Yu burst into another violent coughing fit. Her frail body kept shaking with the coughing, as if it would fall apart at any moment.

Jiang Wantang saw the pool of blood on the handkerchief and her pupils trembled violently.

She hurriedly and gently helped her breathe, her fingers trembling.

She was so scared that she would completely close her eyes the next moment, tears falling uncontrollably...

Concubine Yu gently patted Jiang Wantang's hand and asked her with a smile if there was anything else she wanted to know.

Jiang Wantang shook his head and said no.

She couldn't bear to ask any more questions...

She can check the rest herself.

Concubine Yu looked at Jiang Wantang, her eyes filled with deep attachment and reluctance: "Although I knew this day would come, but before I die, the only thing I can't let go of is you."

"Tang'er, you are my only concern in this world."

"Auntie Yue hopes that you can find a good partner and live a peaceful and smooth life."

As she spoke, Concubine Yu took a deep breath and continued, "Tang'er, you and the Empress Dowager not only look alike, but you also have the same kind hearts."

"Even though everyone curses and slanders her, in my eyes, she is the kindest woman in the world."

"From the first time I met her, I admired and respected her from the bottom of my heart. Even after everything that happened, I never thought of being jealous of her."

"After all, she is such a beautiful being. Just by standing there quietly, she can make people feel happy."

"No wonder she was favored by two emperors."

"You are just like her. Women like you deserve all the favors in this world."

"It's a pity that she met not a good man, but an emperor."

"The late emperor loved her, but still hurt her for the sake of power..."

"Ji Huaijin also loves her, but his love is selfish and paranoid..."

"Fortunately, the Queen Mother was always clear-headed and rational. No matter how good they were to her, she never loved any of them."

"Even though she was so clear-headed and intelligent, she still ended up with a tragic fate..."

As soon as Concubine Yu finished speaking, she suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood, staining the couch with a shocking red.

Jiang Wantang felt a pang of pain in her heart and hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. However, Concubine Yu held her hand tightly: "Tang'er..."

"Actually, Aunt Yue told you all this for another reason, which was to keep you from falling for the emperor and from following the same path that I and the Empress Dowager had taken..."

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"After that bitch Qi Yilan fell into my hands, I pried her out of her mouth that the little prince's death wasn't an accident. She had someone grease the ground beforehand, which caused us to fall into the icy lake. She was jealous of the Empress Dowager and hated being used as her substitute and shield."

"And the poison that caused me to go crazy back then was actually given to her by Ji Huaijin..."

Concubine Yu was silent for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on her old face. As she smiled, tears suddenly streamed down her face. "I truly love him, not for power, but simply because of who he is..."

"But I didn't expect that he would treat me... so cold-blooded and indifferent!"

"But what did I do wrong?"

Turbid tears continued to fall from her eyes, and Concubine Yu sobbed like a child...

The red in Jiang Wantang's eyes grew more intense. She held Concubine Yu in her arms, giving her the last bit of warmth in this world.

After a while, Concubine Yu wiped away her tears and calmed down. She said, "If possible, I hope you won't fall in love with any man, especially the emperor."

"Ji Wuyuan is just like his father. He is cold-blooded and completely ruthless towards those he doesn't love."

"Young people's love is the most stubborn."

"I'm afraid that he doesn't have you in his heart, but I'm also afraid that he only has you in his heart."

"Tang'er, can you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Wantang nodded and said in a trembling voice, "I understand."

Concubine Yu smiled with relief and sighed softly, "The Empress Dowager once told me that loving your partner three-tenths is enough, and the remaining seven-tenths should be cherished and loved by yourself."

"It's a pity that I realized it too late... too late..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Concubine Yu's eyes gradually became blurred, but she still stared at Jiang Wantang without blinking, her eyes full of reluctance.

After a while, she slowly said: "Tang'er, I'm leaving..."

"Life and death are determined by fate... Don't feel sorry for me... I have lived a very hard life..."

"Good boy, the road ahead will be difficult, you must... take good care of yourself..."

Jiang Wantang looked at her, and unknowingly, tears were streaming down her face.

As the night deepened, Concubine Yu's breath grew weaker and weaker...

Her eyes gradually became dull and empty, and she looked into the distance, as if she saw something beautiful, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Then, she stretched out her hand, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and murmured: "Empress...Mother...Mother..."
