Perhaps it was because the memories were too tragic, Emperor Yan could not help but close his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes and continued, “I shouldn’t have attacked the Nangong family.”.

“And I shouldn’t have-ruined you.”

Liu Wuji’s expression finally changed.

However, it was only a moment before he returned to his previous expression.

“It’s all in the past.”

The moment he said this, it could be considered as admitting that he already knew everything.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan smiled palely.

“I owe you an apology.” He continued.

Liu Wuji’s face was stiff and he did not reply.

“I am laeving soon. Before 1 go, 1 have barely paid off my debt. Only with this apology can I be at ease.”

As he spoke, Emperor Yan wanted to reach out and pull Liu Wuji.

However, he realized that his arm could no longer exert any strength.

After trying a few times, Emperor Yan chose to give up.

“Haha…” Then, Emperor Yan smiled.

As he laughed, he closed his eyes.

Liu Wuji had mixed feelings.

After waiting for a long time without seeing Emperor Yan’s reaction, his expression changed slightly.

Then, he reached out to check Emperor Yan’s breath.

After a while, he retracted his hand.

Looking at Emperor Yan’s remains, he stood on the spot for a moment.

Then, he calmed his emotions and turned to leave.

He opened the door and walked out of the hall.

At this moment, the sky had already cleared up. It was a rare warm sun in winter.

Looking at the palace under the sunlight, Liu Wuji finally spoke.

“The Retired Emperor has pa.s.sed away.”

In an instant, the ministers knelt down and mourned.

Not far away, the Imperial Consort was almost stumbling over with the support of a palace servant.

Hearing the news that the Retired Emperor had pa.s.sed away, she fell to the ground.

The people beside her were so frightened that they quickly helped up.

When Murong Xuyang saw his mother fall, he wanted to go over and help her up, but he held back due to his current status.

“Before the Retired Emperor pa.s.sed away, did he have any last words?” Murong Xuyang asked Liu Wuji as he suppressed the panic and excitement in his heart. Liu Wuji shook his head.

“No.”

“His Highness has already arranged everything. In the end, he left with a smile. He left very peacefully.”

When Murong Xuyang heard this, he felt relieved.

On the other hand, the Imperial Consort, who was not far away, almost went crazy when she heard this.

In order to see Consort Shu, he didn’t hesitate to take the Life Essence Pill.

After that, knowing that he was about to die, he arranged everything.

He met everyone he wanted to see, and even met the Imperial Advisor alone in the end.

However, among these people, she was the only one who was not there…

They had been husband and wife for more than thirty years. They had been together since they were young.

The Retired Emperor was too cruel to her…

“Your Highness,” The palace servants were very worried, but they did not dare to speak loudly.

They were afraid of angering Imperial Consort.

After she panted heavily for a while, she calmed down.

Then, she tidied up her appearance.

Shee walked towards Murong Xuyang and the others with a dignified and elegant manner.

So what if he didn’t want to see her?

He died, her son became the emperor, and she became the empress dowager.

After a hundred years, she could still be buried in his mausoleum.

At that time, the person who would accompany him for thousands of years would still be her.

At the First Prince’s residence.

Li Xiao arranged for Li Wan to return to Qings.h.i.+ Town the next day and went to deal with some matters.

He had just returned to the First Prince’s estate and was about to go to Li Wan’s courtyard for lunch when another message came from the palace.

When he heard the news of Emperor Yan’s death, Li Xiao’s expression changed. He didn’t dare to delay any longer and quickly ran towards Li Wan’s courtyard. Just as he walked out of the courtyard, he heard someone inside reporting the news of Emperor Yan’s death to Li Wan and Lin Xiaoyue.

Li Xiao’s expression changed and he quickly entered the courtyard.

Li Wan and Lin Xiaoyue looked at him.

The two of them remained calm, as if they were not affected at all.

“He’s here.” Li Wan smiled at Li Xiao.

Then, she waved at him.

“Come here quickly. There’s news from the palace that the Retired Emperor has pa.s.sed away.”

When Li Xiao saw that his sister was still smiling when she said this, he was very shocked.

He suppressed his thoughts and quickly walked over.

“The Retired Emperor has pa.s.sed away, and the new Emperor has to take care of his funeral affairs. After that, he has to be busy with the matter of ascending the throne.” Li Wan continued.

“I’m afraid the two of you won’t be able to leave the capital for the time being.”

She had actually asked her sister-in-law if she wanted to go back to Qings.h.i.+ Town with her.

In any case, the Ministry of Rites had a special official in charge of promoting the Arithmetic Books.

Even if she stayed, she didn’t do anything.

However, her sister-in-law refused and only said that she wanted to advance and retreat together with her brother.

As such, she could not force him.

Sigh, it was better for her to go back to Qings.h.i.+ Town alone. That was her sky.

“Yes.” Li Xiao replied.

“The carriage for the return trip has been arranged. We can send my sister away tomorrow morning.”

Since his sister was still willing to leave, he would naturally support her.
