Overnight, the situation changed suddenly!

Prince Jin was beheaded, and the Duke's Mansion was not spared either, as their property was confiscated and they were exiled.

Just at this moment, the matter of appointing a crown prince was settled, but then the emperor suddenly passed away. This series of events was really unexpected.

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to recover for a moment.

You have to know that before this, only a very few people knew that the emperor had been poisoned.

Even those who knew the truth originally believed that the emperor had recovered.

No one had expected that the emperor would die so suddenly.

What’s even more shocking is that no one had ever imagined that the emperor had already arranged everything.

In the end, Lin Muheng was named the crown prince, so he could naturally ascend the throne and rule the world.

The ministers who had always supported Prince Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the Prince of Xiang in the Prince of Xiang's Palace could not believe the emperor's death. He was shocked and said, "My brother has always been in good health. How could he leave in such a hurry?"

Ever since the last time the Emperor tricked him into staying in the capital, the Prince of Xiang resolutely and proactively severed all ties with the Emperor, and even did not attend the Emperor's birthday celebrations.

Emperor Rong Sheng was well aware of his brother's stubborn temper, so he did not force him and let him go.

In the past, Princess Xiang would have tried to persuade them earnestly, but now she has seen the emperor's true face, so she simply supports her husband wholeheartedly. As for how the emperor wants to punish them, she will just leave it to fate.

Should they suffer such cruel punishment as the execution of their entire family just because they did not enter the palace?

Prince Xiang realized belatedly that his royal brother, who was once connected to him by blood and grew up with him, had left this world forever.

He has always felt disheartened by what his brother had done, and even believed that he would still be brooding over it and unable to let it go until his death.

The past hurts and disappointments were like deep scars engraved in his heart, making him firmly believe that he would never be able to forgive his brother in this lifetime.

However, when this day really came and he learned the news that his brother had passed away early, an indescribable grief instantly surged in his heart.

All the resentment and dissatisfaction seemed to disappear at this moment, leaving only endless sadness and longing.

So, he rushed into the palace without hesitation, hugged the emperor's already cold body tightly, and cried like a child.

This made Wang Defu burst into tears again.

Your Majesty, he has even thought of a way out for him.

He helped him buy a house outside and arranged for eunuchs to serve him.

Actually, Wang Defu can buy these.

But he didn't think of living alone, he was determined to follow the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor seemed to see through him and left him an oral order early on, forbidding him to commit suicide and asking him to live well.

He could not disobey the emperor's order because the emperor was so good to him.

He can only live well...

At the same time, Jiang Chuwei also came to the palace. When she accidentally caught a glimpse of Princess Qingning, Princess Qingning also noticed her.

The princess's belly was bulging, and it was obvious that she was about to give birth.

The moment she saw Jiang Chuwei, Princess Qingning quickly tried to run over, but Jiang Chuwei was quick and shouted, "Slow down, you have a double body now!"

Hearing this, Princess Qingning stopped abruptly as if someone had suddenly pulled her back.

It seems that Princess Qingning cares a lot about this baby.

Jiang Chuwei walked forward and said with concern: "You look so heavy, so you must be more careful."

Princess Qingning nodded and said, "Yes, I know. I just want to show up and then go back."

In fact, Princess Qingning did not feel too sad at this moment.

Looking at her father's tearful and grief-stricken appearance, she couldn't help but frown slightly. A complex emotion surged in her heart. It was really hard to understand why he was so sad at the moment.

You know, if time could go back to the past, when she learned of the emperor's death, she would probably feel a little sad and grief-stricken because of their blood connection.

But now, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer shed a single tear.

Recalling the moment when the emperor had forced her into marriage without regard for her personal wishes and even for her life and death, the last bit of affection she had left for the almighty Emperor Rong Sheng was extinguished in an instant like a candle in the wind, disappearing without a trace.

At this time, Jiang Chuwei said softly: "You only need to kowtow here and you can leave. I don't think anyone will dare to say anything about it. After all, the emperor just passed away, and according to the etiquette, the body must be kept for forty-nine days. With your body, if you really keep vigil day and night like others, I'm afraid you can't bear it at all."

As she spoke, Jiang Chuwei's fair and slender fingers gently placed on Princess Qingning's pulse.

In an instant, Princess Qingning felt a warm current flowing slowly from her wrist into her heart, relaxing her originally tense heartstrings a little.

She quickly responded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I ask the imperial physician to check Ping An's pulse every day, and there is nothing serious."

Jiang Chuwei nodded gently after hearing this, but she still reminded him: "Even so, it's better to be careful in everything. As the saying goes, 'a little bit safer than sorry'."

Qingning really wanted to talk to Jiang Chuwei, but this was not the right occasion.

It's time for Jiang Chuwei to get busy.

After Emperor Rongsheng passed away, Concubine Jing fell ill.'

There was no suitable person in the harem, so Jiang Chuwei had to step in to take charge of the situation.

Jiang Chuwei did not refuse and just treated it as practice.
