At dawn the next day, Aunt Lan got up first. After sleeping in a small bed all night, her waist was a little sore. She rubbed her waist and tiptoed to the Queen's bedside to see if she was awake.
He opened the curtain and took a look inside, only to see that the queen was still sleeping soundly, but the quilt had slipped to her chest.
She walked forward with a smile, pulled up the quilt and covered her neck. She was about to turn back and go out, but suddenly turned her head and looked, feeling that something was not normal.
She has been serving the queen for thirty years, and she knows very well what it looks like when the queen is asleep.
There used to be slight snoring, but now there is not even a rise and fall in the chest.
She stretched out her trembling hand and gently touched her cheek. Her cheek was very cold. Her fingers slid between her nose. For a long time, she could not feel the warmth of her breath.
She shouted, "Empress!"
Nothing happened.
She became anxious and pushed her shoulders and shouted: "My queen, my queen, wake up quickly."
Aunt Qi heard her shouting, got up and walked over quickly, "What's wrong?"
"Aqi, empress..." Aunt Lan cried and knelt on the ground, "I'm out of breath!"
"What?" Aunt Qi's legs went weak, and she knelt down beside the bed with a thud. She stretched out her hand to feel the queen's breath. Sure enough...
Eunuch Qing stood outside the palace. After standing for a long time, his legs were a little numb.
He saw Aunt Qi stumbling over, with tears on her face. Eunuch Qing's numb legs suddenly went weak, and he became extremely flustered.
"Eunuch, please report to the Emperor that the Queen... has passed away." Aunt Qi knelt on the ground and let out a heartbreaking cry.
In the palace, the emperor's whole body trembled, his lips trembled a few times, and his heart suddenly hurt. He died?
However, Lin Tianqi relaxed completely, with a proud look on his face, and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to thoroughly investigate the cause of death and confirm that she committed suicide. The Queen committed suicide, so she can implicate the Crown Prince."
All the strength in the emperor's body was drained, and what appeared in front of his eyes was the queen's former appearance, and he was heartbroken beyond measure.
Staring at Lin Tianqi, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but the killing intent was suppressed in the end.
This has nothing to do with Lin Tianqi, it was him who gave the queen death.
The queen had been obeying him all her life, and it was still the same until the last moment. In fact, she had never betrayed him.
Eunuch Qing came in, knelt down, and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, the Queen has gone."
"Thoroughly investigate the cause of death." Lin Tianqi immediately ordered, "Send the imperial doctor over immediately."
However, Eunuch Qing knelt still and said sadly, "Your Majesty, you and the Queen are married. Please grant your grace and give the Queen dignity."
Now that a person is dead, can we stop making fuss about it?
The emperor closed his eyes, tears falling, but when he opened his eyes for a moment, he slowly ordered, "Call the imperial physician to thoroughly investigate the cause of death."
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Qing kowtowed, "Please give the Queen her last dignity."
Lin Tianqi stood up and shouted angrily, "Why don't you go quickly? Do you want to resist the decree?"
Eunuch Qing raised his head and glared at Lin Tianqi. Lin Tianqi slapped him down, "How dare you, a slave like you, dare to disobey the will? How many heads do you have?"
Eunuch Qing covered his face. Seeing the emperor's gloomy face and not saying a word, knowing that he would not change his mind, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. "I obey the order!"
He stood up and retreated to the door, suppressing the grief and anger in his heart before striding out.
Over at the East Palace, Aunt Lan went to report it herself.
This bad news completely wiped out Xidelin'er's joy.
Everyone couldn't believe it. When the Queen came over yesterday, she was very happy to hold her grandson in her arms. Why did such bad news come so early this morning?
Although Leng Xiao gave birth yesterday, she still insisted on going there.
Nangong Yitian endured grief and ordered Jianyu, and walked out of the east palace door with Leng Xiao.
Along the way, Nangong Yitian's heart seemed to be hollowed out, and he couldn't believe that this was the truth.
