Chapter 2222 No Regrets
For some reason, when she heard the last sentence, Nan Yan's tears suddenly burst out.
She had suffered a lot in the Si family since she was young.
From childhood to adulthood, apart from her loving grandmother, no one else taught her the principles of life, and no one said these words to her.
But now, just these one sentence made her burst into tears.
She choked with sobs and whispered, "I understand."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin smiled at her silently.
The hand slipped from her grasp.
"Empress!"
Nan Yan became anxious and shouted loudly, trying to reach out to grab her hand, but it was too late.
Upon hearing her cry, Zhu Feng hurriedly turned around, walked a few steps to the bedside, and looked at Xu Miaoyin lying there limply. The light in her eyes had completely faded. Although they were still barely open, she could not see anyone.
"Your Majesty! Queen!"
He walked over, picked up her soft body, and shouted loudly.
Zhu Chengxuan also rushed over and knelt down beside the bed crying.
But it's too late.
The calls and tears of the world only add a bit of warmth and attachment to the deceased's path, but they can never stop her from leaving.
When Xu Miaoyin exhaled her last breath, there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth.
She has too many regrets and pains in this life.
But I don't regret it.
At the moment of departure, having loved ones and relatives around, treating her with tenderness and unwilling to let her go, is the greatest happiness in the last moments of life.
She closed her eyes peacefully.
In the autumn of the sixth year of Changping, Empress Xu Miaoyin passed away and was posthumously named Empress Renxiaowen. The whole country was in mourning.

Nan Yan woke up drowsily from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the unfamiliar curtains and the exquisite roof.
There is a hint of cool fragrance in the air.
She was confused for a moment and wanted to call for help, but she had no strength. Even if she opened her mouth, she could only make breathing sounds.
Fortunately, there was someone in the room who came over immediately.
"Empress!"
It’s Ran Xiaoyu.
She was wearing a plain dress and had a white flower pinned to her temples. Because her face was still a little pale, she looked a little haggard, but also a little pretty.
She looked down at Nan Yan worriedly: "My Lady, how do you feel?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her, blinked, and could not speak.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately understood what she meant, helped her sit up, put a soft cushion behind her for her to lean on, and took a bowl of porridge and a few side dishes from the tray next to her.
"Your Majesty has slept for so long, she must be out of energy."
“…”
"Eat something first, so you can have strength."
Nan Yan drank two mouthfuls of porridge from her hand, and finally, with some effort, she said, "What's going on?"
Ran Xiaoyu blew on the porridge in the spoon and whispered, "The queen fainted in the mourning hall of the late queen."
"ah……"
Nan Yan thought about it and then remembered.
When the Empress passed away, the Ministry of Rites immediately performed funeral rites. All civil and military officials in the capital, as well as officials assigned to official duties, wore mourning clothes. As the head of the imperial concubines, she naturally led the other concubines in the harem to the Jiyan Hall to serve and keep vigil.
Later, she couldn't remember clearly.
It turned out that he had fainted.
She frowned and said in a deep voice, "I am so useless."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Your Majesty just gave birth to the prince, and her body is already weak. Now she has to lead all the concubines in the ceremony. How can her body withstand it?"
Nan Yan looked up at her: "Where's the emperor? Is he not angry?"
Ran Xiaoyu shook her head, brought a spoonful of porridge to her mouth, and said, "Of course the emperor is angry."
