A crystal teardrop dripped from the corner of his eye, and Fu Guiyun nodded silently.

She knew her father-in-law's intention of transferring Lu Bing back to Liyang. Lu Bing represented the will of all the older generations of the Lu family, and he must want him to come back to help him maintain the overall situation of Liyang City.

I'm afraid Lu Linchu will not let him live in peace. He will not give up until he forces this meritorious elder of the Lu family to death.

Just as she expected, as soon as Lu Bing died, Lu Yan immediately ordered his soldiers to search Lu Bing.

Lu Yan's heart finally settled down when nothing was found.

Still watching Fu Guiyun with vigilance, he reminded her solemnly, "Crown Princess, this man has ulterior motives. I don't know what he said to you just now, but no matter what he said, Crown Princess, you must not listen."

"There is not a day that the Crown Prince does not miss the Crown Princess while on the front line. He is looking forward to being reunited with you. I only hope that the Crown Princess can finish taking care of His Majesty's affairs as soon as possible and go to reunite with the Crown Prince."

Looking at Lu Bing who had already died, Fu Guiyun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Slowly standing up, she walked up to Lu Yan and said sternly, "Now that you have achieved your wish and forced your uncle to death, do you want to continue to force the Queen and Prince Zhong to death?"

Holding the porcelain bottle containing the elixir in front of him, Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "I dare not."

Although it is unclear whether Lu Bing brought back the emperor's will, this man is dead after all, and the older generations of the Lu family can no longer make any waves.

The Queen and the Crown Princess will never know about the Crown Prince's patricide.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his soldiers, "Follow the Crown Princess's order and deliver medicine to Prince Zhong."

After You Dian led Liu Imperial Physician away, Fu Guiyun heard the faint crying in the palace and said, "Prepare the phoenix sedan immediately and escort the Queen to visit Prince Zhong's residence."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan frowned and knelt down to stop him: "Crown Princess, I beg you not to embarrass me any further. I have just passed on the Crown Prince's order that before the capital is moved, the Crown Princess and the Queen are not allowed to meet Prince Zhong privately."

"The prince is away at war, but his old illness hasn't changed at all."

Fu Guiyun sneered, "Why? Is he worried that his mother will take his daughter-in-law to have an affair with Prince Zhong, or is he afraid that his inhumane deeds will be discovered?"

"Princess, please do not wrongly accuse the Crown Prince."

Lu Yan said earnestly, "The Crown Prince is loyal to the emperor and the country, and he and the Crown Princess have a deep love for each other. He will not be suspicious of the Crown Princess and the Queen. It's just that he should be more cautious at this critical moment. I am only worried that the Crown Princess and the Queen will be instigated by traitors."

"Who is the traitor?"

Fu Guiyun said angrily: "Is it the loyal prince who devoted himself to Daning and sacrificed his life to protect the country many times, or is it Uncle Bing who was forced to death by you?"

Lu Yan was speechless after being refuted.

Fu Guiyun angrily picked up the sword on the ground and pointed it at Lu Yan: "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Lu Yan felt bitter and straightened his neck immediately: "I will obey the orders of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Princess is dissatisfied, I am willing to die and be buried with my uncle."

He looked so righteous that Fu Guiyun had no way to deal with him at all.

Hearing the increasingly sad cries of Nanny Jiang, Nanny Kong and others in the palace, she decisively put the sword to her neck.

"You are the crown prince's confidant. How could I bear to kill you? It is me who has made things so difficult for you. I deserve to die."

Lu Yan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He trembled and hurried to persuade her: "Brother and sister-in-law, please don't do anything rash. I have no intention of offending you. Everything I did was for the sake of the Crown Princess's reputation. Please don't harm your precious body."

Fu Guiyun's eyes turned fierce: "Why, in your eyes, this palace is such a despicable person?"

Lu Yan kept begging for mercy: "I dare not."

"Then please get out of the way."

Fu Guiyun angrily scolded: "You have forced the Queen to the point where she has no way to live. Are you going to hinder her last wish?"

After saying this, he moved the sword closer to his neck.

Lu Yan did not dare to stop them anymore, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to make way, allowing the palace maids of Changchun Palace to carry the queen out.

Following silently behind the phoenix sedan, looking at the queen's face which had long lost its color, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.

He had never wanted to push things to this point, but he was the prince's man after all. If he could not stabilize the situation in Liyang for the prince, and let Prince Zhong and Prince Li take advantage of the opportunity to gain power, Daning would be in real chaos.

Fu Guiyun followed beside the phoenix sedan, walking silently, looking at her mother-in-law from time to time, feeling her increasingly weak breath, and anxiously comforted her: "I have asked Liu Imperial Physician to go to Prince Zhong's residence. Mother, you must hold on. You will see Prince Zhong soon."

Ye Zhilan forced a faint smile at her and nodded vigorously.

But when the phoenix sedan passed by the Taihe Hall, she looked at the mourning hall that had been set up and the late emperor who was about to be buried, and she signaled the phoenix sedan to stop.

"His Majesty."

Thinking of Lu Chen's voice, appearance and smile, from their childhood acquaintance to their mutual understanding and love, and the ups and downs over the past few decades, she choked up and called him softly, raising a trembling hand, as if he was standing in front of her, within her reach.

Thinking of the mansion surrounded by soldiers not far away, she raised her hand and hesitated before pausing in the air.

The two people I couldn't let go of in my life, one couldn't see him off for the last time, and the other couldn't see him for the last time until he died.

His eyes lingered between the mourning hall and the familiar mansion. Thinking of the evildoer in Wengcheng who was pressing forward step by step, Ye Zhilan finally gave up on going to Prince Zhong's Mansion.

She couldn't harm Linzhi because of her own selfishness, causing him to be even more cautious in the future and be suspected and guarded against everywhere.

Lu Bing only saw himself today. Only if the man in Wengcheng stays in Changchun Palace forever with the secret told by Lu Bing, will he feel at ease.

Only in this way would he obey his father's last wish and give Lin a chance to survive.

After looking up in the direction of Prince Zhong's residence for a long time, Ye Zhilan reluctantly fixed his gaze on the dark coffin in front of Taihe Hall, and his hands fell down little by little.

The moment his palm opened stiffly, a purple pill fell straight down.

"Queen."

Nanny Jiang took the pill and cried, then she prostrated herself in front of the phoenix sedan chair and cried out heartbreakingly, "The queen has passed away."

"Mother."

As if struck by a bolt from the blue, Fu Guiyun stared blankly at his mother-in-law's closed eyes, then looked at the pills in Nanny Jiang's hand, his face full of anger.

Nanny Jiang cried and explained, "The Queen said that Prince Zhong has a hard life, and Doctor Xue's medicine is expensive, so she wants to leave this medicine for Prince Zhong."

Hearing the crying and shouting, Ye Zhicheng and Fu Ping led everyone to gather around.

Seeing the queen’s pale face, everyone on the field burst into tears.

Fu Guiyun took the pill silently, suppressing the anger in his heart. His resentful eyes gradually turned to Lu Yan, and looked at the soldiers who were on high alert everywhere.

......

After Qing Su brought Lu Linzhi back to the mansion, he called all the doctors in the mansion.

But Prince Zhong had been on a hunger strike for many days, and the shock he received from the Crown Princess in front of the coffin just now had triggered his old injuries, and he had fallen into a deep coma.

Seeing that the court doctors were at their wits' end, Qing Su had no choice but to order the servants to make some ginseng soup in order to force him to have some strength.

No matter how hard he tried, Lu Linzhi still couldn't get any of the ginseng soup into his stomach.

When he was overwhelmed with emotions, You Dian and Imperial Physician Liu hurried over.
