In Shoukang Palace, the two eunuchs who went to summon Jiang Yueyang knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

One of them said tremblingly: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty took Lord Xiao Jiang...out of the palace, and...he also said that Your Majesty has Guo Yuanzheng and others to take care of her...that's enough. I hope Your Majesty will not...falsely convey His Majesty's will again, otherwise..."

"What else can we do?" the Queen Mother roared.

The two eunuchs immediately knelt even lower, almost crawling on the ground, their bodies shaking even more violently.

"Is he going to execute me?" The Queen Mother gasped rapidly, as if she was about to die in the next second.

Seeing this, the head aunt reached out to help her calm down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. His Majesty is only angry for a moment. When he calms down, he will definitely let that person come to rescue you. Now the most important thing is that your Majesty should take care of your health and then find a way to ease the relationship with His Majesty."

"Can I still ease the relationship with that unfilial son? He clearly knew that Jiang Yueyang could save me, but he didn't order her to come and save me. He even stopped her from coming."

"Of course, the blood between you and His Majesty is thicker than water. As long as you are willing to ease the relationship between mother and son, it will definitely be possible."

"No, he really doesn't want me this time..."

In the next few days, the Queen Mother tried to win back Emperor Yuan's heart while looking for an opportunity to call Jiang Yueyang to Shoukang Palace.

However, this time Emperor Yuan seemed really cruel and ignored the Empress Dowager, allowing her to spend her last days alone in Shoukang Palace.

The Left Prime Minister, Lord Wei and others had thought that if His Majesty proposed to spend money to buy the medical cabin to save the Queen Mother, they would threaten their own lives.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not even mention it. He went to court as usual, ate as usual, and one day he even went to the Supervisory Office to attend a class.

Moreover, they also heard that His Majesty had been preventing Lord Xiao Jiang from going to Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother sent people to summon Lord Xiao Jiang more than once, but each time His Majesty kidnapped Lord Xiao Jiang halfway with various reasons.

As time passed, the Queen Mother's condition worsened, and Gu Ling'er's acupuncture could no longer relieve her pain.

In the end, the Queen Mother died after fighting the disease for twenty-eight days.

Emperor Yuan came to Shoukang Palace to see her for the last time before she died.

When the Queen Mother saw Emperor Yuan standing in front of the bed, her originally dazed eyes gradually became fierce.

She held on to her last breath, raised her hand and slapped Emperor Yuan: "Unfilial son, you... you have such a cruel heart. I... I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you, but you watched me die without saving me."

Emperor Yuan had a calm expression, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

He spoke slowly: "Why do you say that? I have ordered the Imperial Hospital to do its best to treat the patient, and also asked Miss Ling'er from Yaoling Valley to look after him day and night. How could I watch him die without helping him?"

"You clearly know..."

The Queen Mother's words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them. Then she suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and her breath became weaker and weaker.

She raised her hand with difficulty and pointed at Emperor Yuan, saying weakly: "It is you who killed me, you...you will be punished..."

After saying this, her hands dropped weakly, her eyes were wide open, and she died with her eyes open.

The royal family members present immediately called out to the Queen Mother and started crying.

Emperor Yuan looked at the Queen Mother, his eyes still calm, and he just gently raised his hand to close her eyes.

Until their death, the mother and son never reconciled.

The Queen Mother's funeral was very grand and the whole country was in grief.

Emperor Yuan sent part of the treasures left for Prince Rong to him according to her arrangements for her belongings.

Why is it a part?

Because the Queen Mother left all her property to Prince Rong, that amount was enough to make a family powerful.

He had to be on guard.

One month after the Queen Mother passed away, invitations to Jiang Yueyang and Lu Yunting's wedding were sent out one after another.

Although Emperor Yuan and his family could not come, their two families still sent invitations to the palace.

King Yan held the invitation personally delivered by Jiang Yueyang in silence for a long time, but this day finally came.

Should he...

Nian Gao (Prince Yan's personal eunuch), who was standing by, felt distressed when he saw how sad he was.

Their highness is so good, why can't Lord Xiao Jiang see it?

Prince Yan slowly opened the invitation, his eyes fell on Jiang Yueyang's name, and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.

He was glad that it was not convenient for him to attend her wedding and he did not have to watch her marry someone else.

If at the beginning, he had not chosen to hide his feelings for the sake of his brother the Crown Prince, would there be a possibility for him and her?

"Your Highness." Nian Gao finally couldn't help but speak.

"I'm fine." King Yan slowly put down the invitation, "I've prepared a gift for her. You can give it to her on that day."

After saying this, he stood up and went into the inner hall.

On the other side, Jiang Yueyang personally wrote Ye Wuhen's name on an invitation.

She blew away the wet ink, then walked over to Lu Yunting, took his hand, and said with a smile, "Ayue, let's go give the invitation to Ye Wuhen."

Hearing this, Lu Yunting smiled slightly, raised his hand to touch her cheek and said, "Go by yourself."

"You won't go with me?" Jiang Yueyang frowned slightly.

Lu Yunting shook his head. "It's better for you to go by yourself. I'll wait for you at home."

"Um?"

"Go ahead."

Jiang Yueyang didn't know why he didn't go with her, but seeing that he didn't want to explain, she didn't ask any more questions, nodded at him and went out.

Lu Yunting looked at her departing back and thought to himself that it would be too hurtful for him to go with her.

Soon, Jiang Yueyang came to Ye Wuhen's shop accompanied by Guyu.

Ye Wuhen was very happy to see her coming to see him, but the moment he saw the invitation, the smile on his face instantly faded.

He took the invitation stiffly and forced a smile, "You...you're getting married?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Yueyang nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, please come earlier then! You are my most important friend!"

Ye Wuhen moved his lips and responded with difficulty, "Okay."

It was impossible for him to go. It was good enough that he didn't go to grab the bride that day.

Jiang Yueyang couldn't hide her joy and smiled, "Then I'll go back first, Ah Yue is still waiting for me at home."

She waved at Ye Wuhen and said, "Be sure to come early!"

After she left, Ye Wuhen sat on the stool in a daze, the invitation in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

He thought he could calmly accept the fact that she was going to marry someone else, but when he really faced it, he found that he couldn't do it at all.

His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Canglang, who was standing by, looked at him and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end, he said nothing.

Time flies, day and night pass by, and in the blink of an eye it is the day of Jiang Yueyang and Lu Yunting's wedding.
