Chapter 649: Cruel Palace Maid x Sinister Eunuch (19)

Late at night, in Huaying Palace, candlelight flickered.

On the huge bed, a man and a woman were cuddling each other from the head to the foot of the bed, wishing they could use all their energy on each other.

The palace maids guarding the door blushed and their hearts beat fast when they heard the noise inside, and they almost bowed their heads to the ground.

After the lovemaking, Li Jinhua snuggled in the emperor's arms, her hand circling his chest from time to time.

Her hand was suddenly grabbed, and a deep male voice came to her ear, "What? You want to come again?"

"Your Majesty, you are so annoying~"

Li Jinhua shyly covered the emperor's mouth, what a lovely beauty she is.

Seeing her like this, the emperor began to get restless again.

So he turned over and started a new round of battle.

Unfortunately, the battle was only halfway through when a sharp and piercing sound was heard in the room.

"Ah... Your Majesty..."

A scream resounded throughout the entire bedroom. The eunuchs and palace maids guarding outside turned pale instantly when they heard the sound coming from inside.

They realized that the situation was not good and rushed into the room without caring about anything else.

An hour later, the entire palace was lit up as if it were daytime.

When all the civil and military officials heard the news, they rushed to the palace.

When the queen and her concubines arrived, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Li Jinhua was seen collapsed on the ground, while the emperor was lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, his life or death uncertain.

All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital knelt beside the bed, trembling violently.

The queen walked quickly to the bedside and asked anxiously, "What is going on?"

Doctor Chen, the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, was the first to answer: "Empress, the Emperor... the Emperor has passed away."

"What did you say? The emperor has always been in good health, how could he suddenly pass away?"

After hearing what Doctor Chen said, Concubine Rong's face turned pale instantly and she asked in a trembling voice.

She couldn't believe her ears. The emperor had always been the pillar of the country and had always been in good health. How could he pass away suddenly?

Rongpin was very excited. She stood up suddenly, glared at Doctor Chen, and shouted, "What on earth is going on? Tell me quickly!"

Concubine Shu raised her hand and slapped her, cursing: "Do you think the Queen is dead? Do you have the right to speak here? A concubine dares to speak in front of the Queen."

Her voice was full of majesty and anger, which made people feel afraid.

After being scolded, Rongpin realized that she had been impulsive, so she lowered her head and dared not say anything.

The Queen glanced at her, then looked at Doctor Chen and asked, "What's the matter with the Emperor?"

Doctor Chen kowtowed, a look of grief on his face. He slowly said, "Queen, please calm down. The Emperor...died of exhaustion."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.

They couldn't imagine that the emperor would die for such a reason.

Died of exhaustion? Such an undignified death would be extremely shameful even for an ordinary family.

What's more, this is the king of a country.

In history, only those tyrants and incompetent rulers who were cursed for eternity would die in this way!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Li Jinhua, who was sitting on the ground, covering his face and crying.

Li Jinhua noticed everyone's gaze and cried even harder, choking with sobs, "No... No, I am the concubine..."

Her cries echoed in the silent palace, making people feel endless sadness and helplessness.

The queen frowned, looked away with disgust, then turned to look at Doctor Chen, and asked with doubt and confusion in her tone, "How is this possible? The emperor has always been in good health, how could he die for this reason?"

The day before yesterday, Yanyan said she wanted the emperor to die, but now he’s dead?

This is amazing!

The queen's mind was in a state of confusion, but her face showed a look of sorrow.

She looked like she was still in confinement after childbirth and was extremely weak, but she had to endure the grief and deal with the situation.

Yu Yan stood beside her, holding her up with her hand and acting as a protector.

Doctor Chen took a deep breath and continued to explain: "The emperor has been busy with state affairs for the past six months and is already physically exhausted. In addition, there is incense burning in this palace that can make men feel satisfied, so the emperor..."

His voice was low and heavy, as if every word carried endless sorrow.

After listening to Doctor Chen's explanation, everyone felt a complicated emotion in their hearts.

They were extremely saddened by the emperor's passing, but at the same time they were shocked and puzzled by the truth of the matter.

After hearing what Doctor Chen said, the Queen immediately shouted outside, "Come here, drag the bitch who killed the Emperor away and keep her under strict guard."

"Empress...I didn't make that incense..."

Li Jinhua panicked and crawled to the Queen's feet, trying to hug her thighs.

Unfortunately, as soon as she stretched out her hand, before she could touch the queen's foot, she was kicked away by Yu Yan.

Yu Yan: "... Hurry up and drag her away, don't let her scare the Queen."

"Yes."

The guards dragged Li Jinhua away forcefully, ignoring his cries and screams.

Half an hour later, officials headed by the prime minister and the generals arrived and knelt in front of the bed, crying their hearts out.

Some of them beat their chests and stamped their feet, while others cried loudly, as if they had lost their closest relatives.

The whole room was filled with an atmosphere of sadness and despair, which made people feel extremely heavy.

However, time will not stop because of anyone's sadness.

After the national mourning period ended, the court began to discuss the selection of the new emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor had already appointed a crown prince before his death, so the issue of succession to the throne was not that difficult.

So, after some "intense" discussions and considerations, it was finally decided that the newly born prince would succeed to the throne.

This decision was unanimously agreed upon by all civil and military officials, not to mention that the little prince was of royal blood and had legal rights of inheritance.

Take that dream for example, everyone in the court had already regarded him as the next emperor.

It can be said that the little prince's position is unshakable.

However, the emperor who had just inherited the throne was too young, still a baby of a few months old, and unable to handle state affairs.

Therefore, the empress, who had been promoted to empress dowager, took charge of the imperial seal and ruled the country from behind the curtain for the emperor.

As for state affairs, they were handled jointly by important officials such as the prime minister, the grand tutor, and the general who guards the country.

When the emperor grows up, the imperial seal and government affairs will be returned to him.

In the harem, Concubine Shu, who was comfortably serving as a concubine, looked at Wei He in front of her and said earnestly, "Third brother, after you marry Yu Yan, don't mess with her! If she hits you or scolds you, bear it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that one day our whole family will die silently in our sleep."
