Winter goes and spring comes.

Summer passes and autumn arrives.

Another year has passed.

In the bleak autumn, Lu Hen Ge's health deteriorated and he even needed someone to support him when walking.

Very strange.

Lu Hen Ge is only in his fifties.

Why is my health so bad?

Lu Hen Ge had never done any hard or heavy work, but his physical condition had obviously deteriorated.

"gentlemen."

"Your Majesty wants to ask you, which prince do you favor?"

Qingsong asked in a low voice.

Lu Hen Ge paused.

"Don't get involved in this matter."

Lu Hen Ge refused.

In fact, the position of the crown prince had already been decided, but to be honest, the emperor was not very satisfied with the crown prince. If it were not for the rules of appointing the legitimate son instead of a concubine's son, and appointing the eldest son instead of the most capable one, the crown prince would have been replaced long ago.

Lu Hen Ge was the emperor's teacher, and also the teacher of many princes. Almost most of the princes were Lu Hen Ge's disciples.

Lu Hen Ge knew every prince very well.

That's why.

The emperor wanted to hear Lu Hen Ge's opinion.

But Lu Hen Ge knew very well that he was not a member of the royal family and he could not interfere in matters such as the selection of the successor to the throne.

Can't even give advice.

This is self-knowledge.

You need to know clearly what you can give advice on and what you cannot give advice on.

Qingsong was not surprised by Lu Henge's answer. After all, the emperor had asked the same question many times, and Lu Henge's answer was the same every time.

Lu Hen Ge sat in the chair in a daze.

Until evening.

Qingsong just came back.

Before Lu Hen Ge could speak, Qingsong looked hesitant and unnatural.

Seeing this.

Lu Hen Ge thought the Emperor was dissatisfied with his answer and wanted to find fault: "If this happens again, I will speak to His Majesty in person."

Qingsong hurriedly shook his head: "It's not about His Majesty, I heard some news that is related to the teacher."

Lu Hen Ge cheered up a little.

Qingsong didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Lu Hen Ge frowned slightly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Hearing this.

Qingsong sighed: "Teacher, I heard from the maid in the imperial physician's room that Madam Mu had a difficult delivery."

Lu Hen Ge was stunned.

After a long time.

Lu Hen Ge asked in a trembling voice, "Is he alright?"

Qingsong shook his head: "I don't know yet, but I heard that the labor has been difficult for a day and several midwives have gone."

Lu Hen Ge remained silent.

"I'll go take a look."

Lu Hen Ge supported himself on the chair and tried to stand up.

Seeing this.

Qingsong hurriedly supported Lu Henge and was about to walk outside when a maid ran over. She looked familiar. She was Mu Nanyue's personal maid.

The maid burst into tears.

Lu Hen Ge suddenly felt something was wrong.

The maid knelt on the ground, sobbing, "Emperor, my wife...died of complications during childbirth."

Hearing this.

Lu Hen Ge’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Qingsong hurriedly supported Lu Hen Ge's body.

It took a long time.

Lu Hen Ge finally spoke: "Nan Yan, she really..."

Lu Hen Ge didn't dare to say those two words. He was very scared. Mu Nanyue was his only relative in this world.

If Mu Nanyan died, would he still have relatives?

Maybe Mu Nanyue’s children can be considered half-relatives of Lu Hen Ge, but none of Mu Nanyue’s children are very close to Lu Hen Ge.

The maid just cried and didn't answer.

Lu Hen Ge's spirit suddenly became even weaker, and his straight spine became much more bent.

"You should leave now."

Lu Hen Ge waved his hand.

The maid cried very sadly, but she didn't want to continue affecting Lu Henge's mood, so she left quietly.

Qingsong stayed by Lu Hen Ge's side.

Lu Hen Ge sighed: "You should go and rest too. I'll be alone and quiet."

Qingsong's expression was complicated.

at last.

Lu Hen Ge was the only one left in the room.

After one night.

When Qingsong came into the room again, Lu Hen Ge's hair had turned completely white, and the deadness in his eyes was obvious.

"teacher."

Qingsong felt a pain in his heart.

Lu Hen Ge changed into clean and tidy clothes and said softly, "Help me go to the palace. I want to see my sister off for the last time."

Qingsong nodded.

It's raining today.

The raindrops were not big, and they fell on the oil-paper umbrella, making a light popping sound.

In the rain.

Lu Hen Ge came to the palace.

There were white funeral items everywhere.

Seeing Lu Henge coming, everyone in the palace came out to greet him. The three people in the lead cried the most sadly. The man was Mu Nanyan's husband, and the two next to him were Mu Nanyan's children.

"Meet the Imperial Master!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone knelt down.

Lu Hen Ge waved his hand: "I came to see my sister."

No obstacles along the way.

Lu Hen Ge came to the coffin.

The coffin had not been sealed yet. Lu Hen Ge stood beside the coffin and looked down to see Mu Nanyan's pale and bloodless face.

Lu Henge's expression was neither sad nor happy, he just watched quietly. After an unknown amount of time, Lu Henge's legs felt a little sore, and he looked away: "It's all fate."

Hearing this.

Mu Nanyan's husband blamed himself bitterly: "Master Emperor, it's all my fault! If I hadn't let Nanyan give birth to this child, Nanyan would never have been in trouble."

Lu Hen Ge didn't mean to blame him. Instead, he asked, "Where's the baby? Was it born safely?"

The man nodded sadly.

Seeing this.

Lu Hen Ge felt a little relieved. Since Mu Nanyue wanted to give birth to the child, Lu Hen Ge would not stop her. As long as the child was born safely, Mu Nanyue would have fulfilled her wish.
