Feng Chi's hand unconsciously touched her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me."
When night fell, the chief eunuch saw that the king and queen were still sleeping there, so he bravely stepped forward and called softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
No one responded.
The chief steward saw that they were fast asleep, but he didn't dare to call out loudly for fear of angering the king. More precisely, he was afraid of displeasing the queen, which would be fatal. Just as he was at a loss as to what to do, a child about thirteen or fourteen years old came over.
When the Grand Steward saw the Crown Prince adopted by His Majesty, it was like he had seen a savior.
"Your Highness, the King and the Queen have slept for the whole afternoon. Look, it's already dark, isn't it..." The chief steward looked at him eagerly.
The young man glanced at him, not knowing his little thought, which was that he was afraid of making his father and mother unhappy.
However, sleeping for the whole afternoon was really too much.
The young man had a childish face, but his eyes shone with calmness and wisdom. He stepped forward and called softly, "Father, Queen Mother."
The young man called out, but when he saw that they didn't respond at all, his heart frowned slightly.
"Father, Mother, it's getting dark." This time the young man's voice was a little higher, and the two remained silent.
The young man realized that something was wrong and reached out. When he touched Feng Chi's body, the cold touch made him tremble all over. His hand trembled slightly as he reached out to Bei Yutang, wanting to touch her, but not daring to.
When his hand fell on Bei Yutang's face, the boy's eyes turned red and tears could no longer be held back and fell.
The chief eunuch also realized that something was wrong. He carefully reached out his hand and placed it between the emperor and empress's noses, but there was no breath.
"The king and queen have passed away."
All the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down, and their crying broke the silent night.
The bell rang, echoing throughout the imperial city.

When Bei Yutang regained consciousness, she felt something dripping onto her face. She opened her eyes and saw little Mo'er's bean-sized tears rolling down her face.
When Xiao Moer saw Bei Yutang wake up, his eyes opened wide, filled with joy. He threw himself on her, sobbing, and said with a choked voice, "Mother, I thought, I thought you would never wake up again."
Bei Yutang felt very weak, so he reached out and hugged Xiao Moer. His throat, which had not been moistened for a long time, felt a little dry, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a broken and unpleasant sound came out.
When Xiao Moer heard her mother speak, she immediately stopped crying and said in a baby voice, "Mom, don't talk, have a good rest."
Bei Yutang uttered a word with difficulty, "Water."
Xiao Moer heard it clearly, stepped down, ran to the table and picked up a cup of tea.
After drinking a cup of tea and moistening his throat, Bei Yutang felt much more comfortable.
Bei Yutang sat up and reached out to wipe away the tears still on Xiao Mo'er's face. "Did mother scare you this time?"
Xiao Moer nodded.
This was the first time his mother slept for so long, so long that he was very scared, afraid that his mother would never wake up and would never want him again.
At first he was not worried, but as the seventh and eighth days came, his mother still had not woken up, which made Xiao Moer very worried. He kept telling himself that his mother would wake up and everything would be fine.
