The queen died of illness, and the news quickly spread throughout Weiyang Palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs were naturally sad and sad. After all, the queen took care of them all when she was alive, but they didn't want to be killed by this damn smallpox.

The saddest thing is of course the Yuanyang Palace.

"Queen Mother!"

"Queen Mother!"

"I want a queen mother!"

"You all go away,

Get out of here."

In the Yuanyang Hall, the eldest princess Liu Rongyue had already burst into tears, and the second son of the emperor Liu Chen was even crying and shouting to go to the Jiaofang Hall.

"Chen'er!"

"Chen'er!"

Zhang Yang, who suppressed his grief, hugged Liu Chen and said, "Chen'er doesn't make trouble, Chen'er doesn't make trouble, my aunt is here,"

My aunt is here."

Woohoo~

"Auntie!"

"Chen'er wants a queen mother!"

"Chen'er wants a queen mother!"

Zhang Yang was heartbroken when he heard Liu Chen's cry.

Zhang Yuan is her biological sister,

Her sister suddenly disappeared, how could she not be sad?

What's more, her sister has doted on her very much since she was a child.

It’s just that at this time——

She can only bury this sadness deep in her heart. She has to take good care of her sister's two children. This is what she must do.

The maid serving next to her couldn't help but shed tears.

Although they are the maids of the Yuanyang Palace, they have also received favors from the Queen. Now that they see the prince and princess so sad, how can they not feel sad as well?

Zhang Yang hugged his two nephews tightly and could only swallow his tears.

...

Cao Ling of Zhaoyang Palace panicked, hugged her son Liu Rui tightly, and then shouted away all the serving maids and eunuchs. She was afraid, she was afraid of this damn smallpox.

For her now, no one can get close to their mother and son.

Everyone is in danger to her now.

...

Lanlin Hall.

When Wang Yuanji learned that Zhang Yuan had died of illness, she fainted on the spot.

A palace maid hurriedly ran out to ask for the imperial doctor.

The other two palace maids,

Then he takes care of the prince Liu Yan.

Liu Yan saw her mother fainted,

I was so scared that I kept crying.

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

"Wake up!"

"Wake up,

Mother!"

While taking care of Wang Yuanji, the palace maid comforted Liu Yan: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the imperial doctor will be here soon. Your Majesty will be fine."

"..."

Because of Zhang Yuan's death, the entire Weiyang Palace harem was in chaos and wailing, and the imperial doctors were also very busy.

As soon as the two imperial doctors of Jiaofang Palace left the Queen's palace, they quickly forgot about the emperor's plan to beat them to death, because the palace maids and eunuchs were all waiting for them to be vaccinated with cowpox.

Smallpox can kill people. Even if you are a queen, you can't resist smallpox, let alone the maids and eunuchs like them?

The same goes for other palaces. The imperial doctors from the imperial hospital are distributed throughout the Weiyang Palace, and they are still somewhat stretched.

There are more than 2,000 people in the harem, and thousands more in the front palace area.

Afraid of death——

At this moment, it seems that he is completely separated from the person who had a little doubt about cowpox before.

At this moment, I regard this as a life-saving straw.

Because the emperor said that after vaccination with cowpox, they would not be infected with smallpox.

...

Jiaofang Hall——

Liu Chan has been sitting in front of the bed, even though Zhang Yuan has no trace of body temperature, his body is already a little cold.

He remains sitting.

It wasn't until the next morning that he fainted due to excessive sadness and lack of physical strength. Then, under the service of the palace maids and eunuchs, he went to the side hall to rest.

While the emperor was sleeping, Empress Dowager Mu arranged for Zhang Yuan to be placed in the coffin.

...

Liu Chan slept for a day and a night. When he woke up again, it was already June 23, the seventeenth year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty (AD 239).

This whole day and night, he had a long dream.

In his dream, he saw Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan talked to him a lot. She didn't want Liu Chan to be sad. She reminded Liu Chan that as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, there were still many things waiting for him to do.

And she just went to see the late emperor and her father in advance.

Her only wish is that Liu Chan will raise their children well and make them useful to the big man.

Finally, Liu Chan was reminded not to vent his anger on his servants or courtiers because of her.

"Zitong!"

"I've written it down."

Liu Chan sat up slowly, looked up to the sky and murmured to himself. He felt that Zhang Yuan could definitely hear what he said, but after saying this, he still felt very uncomfortable.

He has become accustomed to having Zhang Yuan around him.

Now she is gone, gone forever.

After staying in the room for a long time, Liu Chan walked out of the palace and went to Zhang Yuan's mourning hall. He looked at the cold coffin, but he did not dare to approach it.

"Father!"

Gu Chuan

When Liu Chen and Liu Rongyue saw Liu Chan, they cried for their father, causing Liu Chan's heart to ache again.

Several other princes and princesses were also crying.

According to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, when the queen dies, the princes and princesses in Beijing also have to keep vigil for the queen. However, these princes and princesses of Liu Chan are still very young now. The eldest is the eldest princess Liu Rongyue, who is only ten years old. Liu Yuan, the third princess of China, is only two years old now.

Liu Yuan is the youngest, so she doesn’t have to stay at the funeral, as long as she feels free to do so.

However, she was born to Zhang Yuan, so Zhang Yuan was her biological aunt, and Zhang Yuan brought Liu Yuan to keep her sister's wake.

Others, such as Cao Ling, also brought Liu Rui to keep vigil here.

Now only Wang Yuanji and Nuo Qi are left. They have had smallpox and will not be infected again. Now there are many things in the harem that need to be dealt with.

However, even though he was busy dealing with the harem, the third prince Liu Yan insisted on keeping vigil for the queen in the mourning hall with the service of the palace maids.

Hearing the cries of Liu Chen and Liu Rongyue, Liu Chan felt uncomfortable. He wanted to hug the siblings, but he couldn't.

Although they are all wearing special protective clothing, Liu Chan is still worried that the smallpox epidemic is too terrible and has already taken away his Zhang Yuan. He does not want to lose any more children.

Because he has been staying by Zhang Yuan's side, he has never had smallpox before, not in his previous life, nor in this life. If he is so close to Zhang Yuan every day, he has probably become infected.
