Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

The people of the six palaces went to the Empress Dowager's palace again to show their filial piety. Even Wei Yanwan, after returning to the palace, began copying Buddhist scriptures to pray for the Empress Dowager.

When she was copying, she wasn't thinking about the Empress Dowager, but about herself.

"Bless myself, eat well, sleep well, and live well." She wrote and recited at the same time.

"Haha, host, your wish is so simple!" Xiao Qi said with a laugh in the system space.

"This is my most direct wish."

Wei Yanwan picked up her pen and slowly wrote, treating it as practice.

A few days later, the Empress Dowager passed away, and she began her vigil again.

Wei Yanwan sat on the stool with her arms crossed, watching everyone cry their hearts out. She took out a hamburger and ate it while watching.

To others, she was no different from anyone else; no one could see through her illusions.

"Host, it's fortunate they can't see you, otherwise your behavior would be utterly rebellious!" Xiao Qi said.

"Yes, even the Empress Dowager would be furious enough to come back to life if she saw this, haha."

"We still have a few more days to go, host, hang in there!"

"Ok"

After the vigil ended, Wei Yanwan, supporting Chunlan's hand, walked towards Yongshou Palace.

She lowered her voice and said, "Find a reason for the Empress Dowager's death, saying it's related to Consort Xian's restoration to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort, and spread the word."

Chunlan nodded: "Yes, Master."

Back in the palace, Wei Yanwan looked at the table of bland vegetarian dishes, ate a few bites, and was already full from the hamburger.

Seeing this, Chunyu said worriedly, "Master, you go to keep vigil for the Empress Dowager every day. You should use more energy, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it."

Wei Yanwan shook her head: "I don't have an appetite, take it away."

"I'm really worried about your health. Shall I bring you some refreshments?"

"Okay, go ahead." Wei Yanwan nodded casually.

After the Empress Dowager's burial, everyone had lost weight. Wei Yanwan touched her stomach and realized she seemed to have gained a little weight.

She's not fat, but she has a great complexion and looks well-maintained.

"Haha, host, you've been secretly eating extra meals lately, you're eating too well."

Wei Yanwan hadn't expected this: "I need to exercise, otherwise I'll attract too much attention."

She drinks some spiritual spring water every day, and then practices dancing or a set of sword techniques in her space.

News of Consort Shu's pregnancy also spread, and the child was unlikely to survive, but Wei Yanwan didn't pay attention to it.

*

Because of the rumors spread by Wei Yanwan, the entire Yikun Palace was constantly being discussed, and Ruyi rarely went out anymore.

The Emperor did not go to Yikun Palace to restore her to the rank of Imperial Concubine, feeling that the restoration was in vain.

Wei Yanwan was reading a book when Anxin walked in: "Your Majesty, this servant has something to report!"

Wei Yanwan didn't look away, still reading the book: "Go ahead and say it!"

"Your Majesty, good news has come from Yikun Palace! Consort Xian is pregnant!" Anxin said, glancing up to make sure the Empress was happy.

Chunlan and Chunyu, who were standing beside her, also looked at her with concern. Wei Yanwan noticed their gazes and said with a smile, "Why are you all looking at me?"

"Your Majesty, the one in Yikun Palace is also very lucky. She hasn't been able to conceive for so many years, but now she is pregnant. I heard that the Emperor has already passed away!" Chunyu said.

"So what if she's pregnant? I'm fine. Go prepare a gift that won't be easily tampered with and send it over to congratulate her."

What could possibly happen to her? She doesn't even like the emperor. In the story, the female lead gets pregnant around the same time.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be forcing herself, the group felt relieved.

"Yes, Master, I will do it right away!" Chunyu said.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor came to Yongshou Palace that very evening.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Wei Yanwan stepped forward to greet him, glancing at Jinzhong behind the Emperor.

"Get up quickly!" Hongli helped her up and pulled her to sit down on the couch to the side.

"Why has Your Majesty come to Yongshou Palace today? Consort Xian is pregnant, why isn't Your Majesty accompanying her?" Wei Yanwan said with a smile.

These words sound like jealousy, but actually Wei Yanwan doesn't want him to come.

Hongli indeed sensed her jealousy and said with a smile, "Yanwan, are you unhappy? Don't worry, I've always remembered you."

"Your Majesty, it's enough that you remember me," Wei Yanwan said, going along with his words.

"How could I forget you? When will you give me a prince or a princess?" Hongli said, thinking about how she had not conceived.

Wei Yanwan looked disappointed: "It is because I am unlucky that I have not been able to bring good news to Your Majesty."

The beautiful woman shed tears, a sight that broke one's heart. Hongli embraced her, saying, "Don't worry, it will happen in the future."

"Your Majesty is right!"

Jinzhong, standing to the side, glanced at them furtively.

With tears in her eyes, Wei Yanwan met his gaze and saw him smile.

Jinzhong withdrew his gaze and slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

That night, the Emperor naturally stayed overnight at Yongshou Palace, and commotion could be heard from inside the palace.

Jinzhong stood at the door, listening to the sounds inside, his hands involuntarily clenching.

Li Yu stood to the side and glanced at him: "Jinzhong, you keep watch tonight, I'm going to rest for a while."

Jinzhong nodded, saying without much reaction, "Okay."

After everyone left, Jinzhong turned to look inside, his eyes swirling with unspoken tension.

He kept watching the movements inside until they stopped.

Inside the hall, Wei Yanwan looked at the person who had been drugged, got up from the bed, put on a cloak, and walked out.

She opened the door and met Jinzhong's dark gaze. When he saw her, his eyes instantly returned to normal.

"Why has Your Highness come out?"

Wei Yanwan didn't speak, but looked up at the moon in the sky.

"The moon is so bright tonight!"

Jinzhong also looked over: "Does Your Majesty like it?"

“I like it, but we’re too far apart!” Wei Yanwan said.

"Host, do you still want to go see the moon from the sky?" Xiao Qi asked, resting her chin on her hands.

"That's a good suggestion!"

Jinzhong looked at the distant moon on the horizon and nodded: "It is quite far away!"

"Would you like to take a closer look?" Wei Yanwan asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is very difficult to achieve."

"It's not difficult, I'll take you to see it." Before anyone could react, the words were spoken.

Wei Yanwan took the man's hand, and in the blink of an eye, the two were in the air, flying not far from the moon.

Standing here, the moon looked much bigger than a person. It took Jinzhong a while to adjust before he opened his eyes.

He looked down in shock, realizing he was standing in mid-air.

Looking at the moon, its surface is surprisingly uneven.

"This, this is like a dream, the moon is actually like this!" His eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Wei Yanwan curled her lips into a smile: "You're not dreaming right now!"

Jinzhong's thoughts raced, he wanted to ask something but didn't know how to start.

Finally, he only asked, "Why are you willing to let me see your difference?"

Wei Yanwan didn't look at him, but stared at the cratered lunar surface beside her: "I just did it because I thought of it, there's no need for so many whys."
