Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Chengye blankly, wondering what changed him and made him become so determined and firmly refuse.
He could only shout helplessly: "Father, Queen, she... really doesn't have time."
Xiao Chengye's eyebrows remained unchanged, looking extremely cold: "This matter has been decided, there is no need to say anything more."
Xiao Yao wanted to say more, but he heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside, and a young eunuch rushed in in a panic, stumbling and saying: "Your Majesty, the Queen, she, she..."
Xiao Yao's head buzzed, and without saying anything else, he got up and ran towards the queen's palace.
Xiao Chengye was stunned for a moment, frowned, got up and followed Xiao Yao.
However, as soon as he and Xiao Yao reached the door of the queen's palace, they heard a cry coming from inside.
Xiao Yao's legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground with a plop.
Xiao Chengye's expression changed and he took the lead to follow.
Gao Cheng looked bad, stepped forward to help Xiao Yao up, and whispered: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, come in quickly!"
Xiao Yao waved Gao Cheng away, got up and rushed into the house.
In the queen's bedroom, the eunuchs and maids knelt on the floor, hitting their heads on the ground and not daring to raise their heads, only wailing. The doctors knelt not far from the bed, trembling each and every one of them, for fear of being implicated.
Xiao Yao rushed to the Queen's bed, grabbed the Queen's hand with trembling hands, and shouted in a low voice: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, wake up, your son is back... You, look at me."
But no matter how he shouted, the queen kept her eyes closed and did not move, nor did she open her eyes to take one last look at him.
Xiao Yao collapsed instantly.
He stood up and grabbed the nearest imperial doctor, pressed the person firmly on the edge of the bed, and shouted loudly: "Save this person, save this person quickly!"
The imperial doctor's face turned pale with fright, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, I'm sorry!"
"What are you saying to express my condolences? My mother is still fine, why should I express my condolences?" Xiao Yao said with red eyes and gritted teeth, "When I left, my mother still held my hand and talked to me. Why did she just...
…You, save me, if the queen mother doesn’t wake up, I will chop you alive!”
The imperial doctor has never seen such a violent Xiao Yao. It should be said that no one has ever seen such a Xiao Yao.
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he did not dare to resist, so he could only go to check the queen's pulse tremblingly.
But how can a dead person still have a pulse?
Xiao Chengye, who was on the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore, pulled his son away and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yao, calm down!"
Xiao Yao shuddered and turned to look at Xiao Chengye, looking a little helpless: "Father, can you let them save the queen mother? They listen to you the most, you let them save people..."
Xiao Chengye closed his eyes, and then said: "Stop making trouble!"
Xiao Yao: "Father..."
"The Queen has left. If you continue to make trouble like this, she will only live in peace." Xiao Chengye said in a deep voice, "You are not a child anymore, be more sensible."
Xiao Yao: "..."
He seemed to have been slapped so hard that he was numb from the pain.
Xiao Yao returned to the queen, grabbed the queen's hand again, and looked at the queen's face intently.
He stopped making trouble and just shed tears expressionlessly.
His mother had loved him all his life, but before she died, not only had he failed to fulfill her last wish, she had not even seen him for the last time.
Xiao Yao thought, how could things become like this?
Xiao Chengye saw that Xiao Yao finally calmed down and turned to Gao Cheng with a wink.
Gao Cheng immediately turned around and went down, and began to arrange the queen's funeral affairs in an orderly manner.
The preparations for all the things that need to be used started as early as when the Queen was seriously ill. As of today, the things that need to be prepared have been prepared for a long time. As soon as the orders are given here, they are arranged immediately there.
Half an hour later, the entire palace was completely pure and white from a distance.
In another half an hour, news came to everyone inside and outside the court, and everyone put on their plain clothes and headed to the palace.
At this time, in the Hulong Mansion, Qin Zhen began to be in a daze after receiving the news of the queen's death.
Manman stood not far from her, looking at her worriedly.
I don't know how long it took before Qin Zhen opened her mouth, looked up at the sky, and said, "Isn't it time for him to enter the palace at this time?"
Manman reacted very quickly and immediately realized that the 'he' Qin Zhen mentioned was referring to the third prince.
"It should be," Manman asked in a low voice, "Does the princess want to tell His Highness something? I can send someone to inform His Highness."
Qin Zhen shook her head and said, "At this time, I won't cause trouble."
After saying this, she started to feel dazed again.
Some things were going back and forth in her mind, and she couldn't get the answer, but she couldn't let go.
The queen's death... she always felt that it was not that simple.
She had met the Queen several times. When she first met, the Queen was very healthy and showed no signs of illness. However, after Lou Shulan died of illness, the Queen became ill.
The illness lasted for nearly a year, and it just so happened that the queen died just when she was trying her best to force her to marry Xiao Yao.
In addition, Lou Yan had promised her before that she would not care about anything and he would help her...
Qin Zhen raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, feeling confused.
She didn't care whether the queen died or not, but Lou Yan made her care.
She couldn't see clearly why Lou Yan suddenly became so interested in her and went to such an extent for her...
Qin Yi hurriedly came in from the outside, pulled Qin Zhen, who was in a daze, and walked into the house.
Qin Zhen was startled. After entering the house, she asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Qin Yi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you will stay in the house and don't go anywhere. During the Queen's funeral, you don't have to show up and continue to complain about illness."
Qin Zhen: "What's wrong?"
Qin Yi did not answer, but continued: "Also, don't meet Murong Yan in private, and don't let outsiders know that Murong Yan is close to you. Never go to see Xiao Yao alone, and try not to interact with him in the future. Even so.
Even if you encounter someone who is unavoidable, you must be vigilant and never trust him again."
Qin Zhen felt heavy in her heart and said, "What happened?"
Qin Yi took a deep breath and said, "These are the words that the third prince asked me to tell you."
"He said that before the Queen died, Xiao Yao went to the Crown Prince's residence to take away Murong Yan by force, but was stopped by the Crown Prince. After that, he went to His Majesty again and begged the Emperor to grant a marriage to you.
But the Queen's last wish." Qin Yi said in a deep voice with some uncontrollable anger, "The third prince did not know how to stop this matter. His Majesty did not allow it, and the matter did not come to pass. But at this moment, the Queen
Went, Xiao Yao didn't even see the queen for the last time..."
Qin Yi looked at Qin Zhen and said softly: "It is said that he looks a little abnormal now."
Qin Yi shook Qin Zhen's shoulders and said softly: "The third prince asked you to have a good rest and not to see anyone. He will come to see you when the matter is over."
