Wen Mianmian and others were outside, and they also knew that the Queen was about to die.
Li was naturally happy to hear this, but because this happened in the Queen's Palace, she had to endure it.
Wen Mianmian's mood was indeed very complicated. She had never thought of the queen's death.
So when Honghui came out and said that the Queen wanted to see him, Wen Mianmian walked in without saying anything.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the inner room. It seemed that the queen had been keeping company with medicine jars during this period and had drunk a lot of medicine.
Wen Mianmian walked to the bed, bowed slightly, and said, "Empress~"
"Now that you're here, sit down and talk." The queen weakly pointed to the round stool beside her.
Wen Mianmian didn't hesitate and sat down on the round stool.
"Are you confused as to why I asked you to come in alone?"
"I think the Queen has something to say to me." She was not stupid. The Queen called her in alone. Could it be that she wanted to do something to her? There was nothing else to say except to tell her something.
"Royal Concubine, do you know how much I hate you in my heart?"
"Maybe I shouldn't have let you into the Fourth Master's mansion at that time, otherwise so many things beyond my expectations would not have happened later, cough cough..." After saying so much, Ulanara couldn't help coughing again.
Seeing this, Wen Mianmian stood up, walked to the table beside her and poured her a glass of water.
"Your Majesty, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Ulanara coughed for a long time before she recovered and said, "No need."
Seeing her like this, Wen Mianmian put the teacup in her hand aside.
"It seems that the Queen has always been holding a grudge against me." Wen Mianmian sat down on the round stool again and said in a calm tone.
"That's right, I have hated you ever since you monopolized the master's favor." Ulanara did not hide the disgust in her tone from beginning to end.
She didn't have much time left, and she didn't want to suppress her emotions anymore.
"Your Majesty should understand that matters of the heart are beyond human control. The Fourth Master's favor towards me was not gained through any conspiracy or trickery, but through his sincere treatment and heart-to-heart exchange." Wen Mianmian said calmly.
Ulanara obviously didn't expect her to say that. She coughed lightly a few times and said:
"You are still as eloquent as ever. If it weren't for you bewitching the Emperor, he wouldn't have gone to other women for so many years."
"Royal Concubine, oh Royal Concubine, sometimes I really wonder if you've turned into a vixen. Otherwise, why would the Emperor's heart always be with you? He wouldn't even glance at anyone else."
When Wen Mianmian heard the Queen's words, she couldn't help but feel helpless.
She knew that the Queen had a deep prejudice against her, and there was no need for her to argue too much with a dying person. There was no point in saying more, so Wen Mianmian changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, you worry too much. You should take good care of yourself and not think too much about some things."
The Queen sneered at this and said, "Take care of yourself. Even the imperial physician said that my health is seriously weakened and there is no way to save me. How can I take care of myself?"
She looked at her and continued, "You don't have to say these things. I know my body well. I didn't call you here just to tell you these things."
"My time is running out, Imperial Concubine. Honghui doesn't have to be the crown prince, but I want you to swear to heaven that you won't do anything to hurt her. After I die, based on the emperor's love for you, you will definitely become the empress."
"This is the first time in my life that I've asked someone other than the Emperor for help. I beg you to treat Honghui well after I die. He has no interest in the crown prince position, nor does he want to get involved in the disputes at court. He just wants to live a peaceful life. I beg you not to hurt him, ahem..."
She has grown up and has never asked anyone for help except the emperor.
"I don't know why you say this, but I can tell you clearly that from the time I entered the mansion until now, I have never thought of actively harming others, let alone innocent children."
"Honghui, you raised him very well. I promise you that I will let Honghui live the life he wants."
When Ulanara heard her words, she felt relieved. "In that case, thank you very much. Ahem."
She covered her mouth, and after coughing this time, there was blood on her handkerchief, but she didn't take it to heart. She was already used to this kind of thing.
Wen Mianmian didn't say anything when she saw this, but just frowned slightly.
"Go away, I'm tired and want to rest." After saying this, Ulanara closed her eyes.
Not long after Wen Mianmian left, Chang Ma and others entered and soon after, crying and shouting were heard in the room.
"My Queen, please wake up~"
Honghui heard the nanny's voice and hurried in.
Seeing my mother lying on the bed with her eyes closed, tears fell again.
The imperial physician came over to take her pulse, then shook his head solemnly, knelt down, and said in a painful voice, "The Empress is gone."
"Mother~"
"Empress~"
When Wen Mianmian, Maopin and others heard the news, they all knelt outside with heavy expressions.
…
After the queen's funeral was over, Honghui expressed his feelings to the emperor.
He didn't want to get involved in the fight for the crown prince position and just wanted to live a simple life in the future.
"You've really decided."
"Yes, I have no intention of becoming the crown prince, and I don't want to get involved in court disputes." Honghui said with a firm look on his face.
The emperor followed his wish and did not try to persuade him again, but instead made him a prince.
On this day off, the Fourth Master came to Mianmian Palace.
Wen Mianmian was already used to it, so when she saw the Fourth Master coming, she quickly invited him to come and sit down.
"Master, why are you back so early?"
"Xuanxuan and Chenchen are helping to deal with the memorials, so I have some free time now, right?"
The Fourth Master hugged Mianmian and asked in a low voice, "Mianmian, I heard that there will be a Lotus Lantern Festival in the capital in a few days. Do you want to go and see it?"
Wen Mianmian's eyes lit up, "Really? Can I go?"
Since she entered the palace, she has never gone out except for hunting and the time when Tiantian got married.
When Wen Mianmian heard that she could go out this time, she naturally wanted to.
"Of course, do you want to go?"
"Think about it, I must think about it, when?" Wen Mianmian was a little excited. She could finally go out again. She was tired of staying in this harem all day.
"I'll take you there in two days." The Fourth Master knew that was what she was thinking.
"That's great! I'm getting tired of staying in this palace."
She had walked through almost every part of the palace, and it was all the same. It felt fresh at first, but after a while, the freshness wore off.
Wen Mianmian was very happy to hear that she could go out of the palace for a walk.
"By the way, Mianmian, I have something else I want to tell you."
Wen Mianmian was puzzled, "What's the matter?"
