In the seventeenth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, Hongli once again arranged for his younger brother Hongzhou to manage the affairs of the Fengchen Garden under the Imperial Household Department, but Hongzhou still did not take it seriously.
Later, Hongzhou openly robbed the Mint's vehicle.
'Bang'!
Upon learning of this, Geng Youran immediately smashed the teacup in her hand.
"Qianxue, convey my imperial decree: summon Prince He to the palace!"
"yes!"
Qianxue had a bad feeling; this time, her master was truly angry.
Upon receiving the imperial decree, Hongzhou rushed into the palace.
He thought he would at worst get a beating, but when he entered the palace, he saw Qianxue waiting at the door.
"Your Highness, the Dowager Consort is waiting for you inside."
Hongzhou tiptoed into the house and saw that his mother was facing away from him.
"You've arrived."
"Your son pays his respects to his mother."
"Hongzhou, you've got quite the airs. You've managed to offend the entire court of officials."
"Mother, son, son knows he was wrong!"
"Hmph, you know you're wrong? No, you don't know. You've taken the Emperor's patience as a bargaining chip for your own reckless behavior. Do you really think the Emperor will always protect you like this? Do you even care about your wife and children?"
What Geng Youran hates most is a selfish man who has no sense of responsibility whatsoever.
She never imagined that all her efforts would result in raising such a disappointing son.
"I have already written a letter of repentance to the Emperor. From now on, I will devote myself to Buddhism and repent for the mistakes you have made. From this day forward, I will never see you again. You may leave."
After saying that, Geng Youran walked straight into the Buddhist hall, ignoring Hongzhou.
Hongzhou was also frightened by his mother and knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again.
However, Geng Youran was utterly disappointed this time.
Afterwards, someone from the palace, now the emperor, came to Geng Youran to plead for her younger brother. It was to no avail.
Even on his deathbed, Hongzhou still longed to see his mother one last time.
But he didn't wait.
In the thirty-fifth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, Hongzhou passed away.
Upon hearing the news, Geng Youran fainted in the Buddhist hall and remained bedridden ever since.
On the 16th day of the 12th month of the 49th year of the Qianlong reign, Geng Youran was already unable to get out of bed.
On the 17th, Geng Youran, who was 96 years old, passed away.
Shortly after her death, her maidservants found a jade pendant and an undelivered letter under her pillow.
When Hongli saw the contents of the letter, he was immediately startled:
“My name is Lin Yue, and I come from several hundred years in the future. After arriving here, I fell in love with a man who will become emperor. I lost my child for him, and I also gave birth to a child. I have no regrets, and I will never go back on my word.”
After carefully reading it, Hongli realized that the letter was addressed to the late emperor.
Perhaps because the matter was too unbelievable, the letter was taken by Hongli to the late emperor's memorial tablet and burned, while the jade pendant was buried along with Geng Youran.
...
Hundreds of years later, Lin Yue found herself smelling disinfectant. After struggling to open her eyes, she realized she was lying in a hospital room.
"Lin Yue! You're finally awake!"
After learning the details from the doctor, Lin Yue's friend returned to the ward.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Yue staring blankly at him.
"Good news! Your diagnosis that only gave you three months to live was a misdiagnosis. Friend, you don't have to die!"
Really? Why does she feel like she's already died once?
