"His Majesty……"

With a cry, Queen Yan Yunqi was heartbroken and almost fainted.

Eunuch Fei hurriedly protected her and said with tears in his eyes: "Empress must cheer up. Your Majesty is gone. Now it is not the time to be sad. You must not let Your Majesty down!

Queen Yan Yunqi stretched out her hands and gently stroked Emperor Xiao Chengwen's cheek.

"Look, Your Majesty is like falling asleep, walking so peacefully."

"Your Majesty has done everything he can to arrange everything. Empress, now..."

"I know! I can't just take care of the sadness right now."

She wiped her tears, endured her grief, and continued, "I ordered people to ring the death knives and declare the death of the Queen Mother first. Half an hour later, I will declare His Majesty's death."

Eunuch Fei focused his attention, "Don't worry, the entire palace is ours. No one dares to do anything in the palace, and no one dares to be unfavorable to the Empress and Your Highness. After a while, the bells and drums ring and the courtiers enter the palace, the Empress also needs to come forward to take charge of the overall situation. The Empress is ready and must fight the first battle."

She said "Yes", "I'll be assured when you do your business. Go and do it, I'll watch here, Your Majesty is fine."

"Then, the old slave will deal with the Queen Mother's funeral first, and then send someone to invite the Queen Mother."

Eunuch Fei is busy dealing with the follow-up matters.

Empress Yan Yunqi is still with Emperor Xiao Chengwen.

But he had stopped breathing.

She leaned on his shoulder and cried, saying, "You are leaving, leave me alone to face the courtiers who are like wolves and tigers. Facing this mess in the world, you are so cruel.

Why can't you cherish your body more and live a few more years? Brother Yan hasn't grown up yet, and his daughter is still a little ignorant of her age. How can you bear to leave the mother and son and leave?

Do you know that now I am very panicked and frightened! I am afraid that I can’t be the queen mother in your mind, I am afraid that I will let down your expectations, I am afraid that I can’t protect my two children, and I am even more afraid that I will become a sinner of the Great Wei Dynasty. What should you do if you ask me to do?"

She cried so hard that she couldn't help herself.

At this moment, she deeply realized that she had lost the most important support in her life and the backbone of her life.

It was like the sky fell and my heart was half empty.

The remaining half is helpless and strong.

Life is so difficult!

Especially in her position, it is really too difficult.

In the distance, the bell finally came.

One after another...

Announced the news of Empress Dowager Tao's death.

Soon, the court officials were about to enter the palace to worship, and the tranquility of the palace would be broken in a blink of an eye.

She wiped away her tears, she wanted to cheer up, she could not be underestimated, nor could she let the emperor down.

"Come! Come!"

There were shouts, panic.

When the palace people heard the movement, they all came out one after another.

She said with a sad face: "Your Majesty is here, and inform the young mansion to prepare for the funeral ceremony. Go and call the princess and your highness to let them see your Majesty for the last time. Instruct people to arrange a mourning hall immediately..."

Instruct one by one.

The palace servants who had originally learned that the emperor had passed away and seemed panicked, under her influence, gradually calmed down.

They each do their own responsibilities and are in order.

The princess and the prince were invited. When they saw their deceased father, the siblings knelt on the ground and cried.

They are still children, but they understand the meaning of death early on.

"My mother, the father is gone, the father is gone. What should we do?"

Princess Jianing rushed into the arms of Queen Yan Yunqi and cried loudly.

Prince Xiao Yan even cried and said, "I want my father to wake up, I want my father to wake up! Mother, why does the father refuse to wake up? Is it because my son did something wrong?"

The queen hugged the child and sobbed, "Good boy, you did nothing wrong. The father left, went to a very far place, went to meet the ancestors and the ancestors, and went..."

She burst into tears.

The family of three hugged each other and cried.

Once again, the death knives rang over Jianzhou City.

Listening to the disturbing bell, the court officials and the people all twitched their eyes and had a bad premonition.

As expected, counting the bell silently, it was the death knell of the emperor's death.

The Queen Mother is here!

Just half an hour passed, and His Majesty went with him.

Within one day, the Great Wei Empire lost the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty. This is a misfortune for the country!

The court officials and the wife changed into court clothes and set off for the palace.

It was the Queen Mother's devotion and the Emperor's funeral. I was afraid that I would be busy until I could not touch the ground.

The three auxiliary ministers rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

They first confirmed the safety of the queen and prince.

The prince is the only one, and nothing can happen.

Lord Cui Zhi, as the leader of all officials, came forward to persuade Queen Yan Yunqi.

"Take care! Your Majesty has passed away and the world is sad. The will left by Your Majesty is announced now, or to choose another time according to the Queen's wishes?"

Yan Yunqi wiped her tears and asked, "Are all officials here? If all the people are here, read them together. As the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day."

"The Empress's words are reasonable. All officials have arrived. It is better to take out His Majesty's will after a stick of incense."

"Mr. Lao Cui, everything will be followed by yours. Your Majesty's affairs..."

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty's funeral will be handled properly by the Ministry of Rites and the Young Mansion. It will ensure that there will be no mistakes or omissions."

"I believe in you!"

...

All officials arrived.

Eunuch Fei showed up, took out the key, and took out the will.

Everything has been arranged long ago.

Now we are just going through the procedures to ensure that each intention is procedurally legal and reasonable, and that the content of the intention is confirmed.

Prince Xiao Yan inherited the throne, and Empress Yan Yunqi was enthroned as Empress Domain Duanmin, who was the regent.

Three regents...

Even the posthumous title after Empress Dowager Tao's death was made.

The Ministry of Rites immediately determined the time for the new emperor to ascend the throne. Three days later, it is auspicious day for the zodiac to ascend the throne.

All kinds of seals, emperor seals, and imperial seals were handed over to Empress Domain Yan Yunqi.

Even if someone questioned Empress Dowager Tao and the Emperor, it was too coincidental that they passed away on the same day and half an hour apart.

Some people even wanted to ask the imperial physician to come forward and ask about the cause of their deaths.

All of this was easily resolved by the three auxiliary ministers.

They spoke sternly and looked solemn. "Your Majesty passed away. Not only did you not feel any sad, but you also questioned the cause of the death of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty? What do you want to do? Do you want to provoke an internal strife? Could it be that you dare to insist on the authenticity of the imperial edict in the future? It is ridiculous!"

"It's more than just absurd, it's simply a traitor!"

"Do you still have a king and a father in your heart?"

"Your Majesty passed away and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. If you still have a conscience, you should think carefully about how to assist the new emperor."

The three auxiliary ministers, with every word of the word, would lie down the court officials who raised the question.

Since the three of them expressed their opinions, the opinions of other court officials were no longer important.

Empress Dowager Tao and the emperor passed away half an hour apart. Of course, there are strangeness and suspicion, and the coincidence makes people have to doubt it.

So what?

Do you really want to accuse the emperor of killing his mother? Will the emperor be given a reputation for his eternal condemnation?

If this layer of window paper is really broken, even if Xiao Chengwen dies, he will be pulled out to whip the body thousands of years after his death.

These court officials would not bear the infamous reputation, nor would they be whipped into corpses after death?

The emperor has no fault, and all faults are subjects.

Your Majesty is in danger, maybe there is something strange about Empress Dowager Tao's death.

But at least when their subjects were still standing in the court, no one was allowed to find out the bad debt, and no one was allowed to break the window paper.
