After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Chapter 223 The Emperor passed away!

Only Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang's tears were fake, while everyone else was extremely sad about Yongzheng's impending death.

Concubine Hua held one of Yongzheng's hands tightly, while Yongzheng held Zhen Huan's hand with the other.

Concubine Hua sobbed and said, "Grand Emperor, please don't leave me. The child in my belly hasn't seen his father yet, Grand Emperor..."

Yongzheng tried hard to force a curve at the corners of his mouth, and whispered to comfort Concubine Hua: "Shilan, don't be sad. Be careful... about having a miscarriage. Don't worry, I will... watch over us from heaven... as we have a child." Yongzheng had difficulty speaking at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I can't bear to leave you... Wuuuu..." Concubine Hua cried bitterly. She really couldn't bear to leave Yongzheng. She couldn't imagine how sad she would be after Yongzheng's death.

Then Yongzheng turned his gaze to Zhen Huan, his eyes were red and very beautiful, he really couldn't bear to let her go.

"Hanhuan, don't cry anymore. It hurts me if you cry." The emperor said softly.

Zhen Huan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She didn't want to cry either...

At this time, Hongli and Yunli also rushed to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

"The Prince Regent has arrived!"

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor! I am late, please forgive me!" Hongli knelt on his knees in front of Yongzheng's bed. Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua had quietly retreated at this time and knelt with the concubines.

Regent Prince Yunli and the new Emperor Hongli knelt in front of the Emperor's bed at the same time.

"Brother Emperor, I'm here to see you." The Regent said with a concerned look on his face.

When Regent Prince Yunli was first reborn, he placed poison in the imperial study. The poison corroded Yongzheng's internal organs. Originally, Yongzheng could live a few more years, but under the effect of the poison, Yongzheng's life was drastically shortened.

Yongzheng raised his hand slightly, signaling the two to stand up.

Hongli could not stop crying at this time. Although Yongzheng showed little love and care for Hongli, he did not hesitate to praise him and gave him a lot of guidance since Hongli showed his talent.

Although Hongli respected Yongzheng very much, he still had some resentment towards him in his heart. He left him in the Old Summer Palace and ignored him for more than ten years. If it were not for his seventeenth uncle Yunli and Concubine Xi who cultivated and assisted him, he would never have been recognized and appreciated by Yongzheng.

"Hongli, when you govern in the future, you must...listen carefully to the advice of your...seventeenth uncle. I...believe that you...can be a good Emperor Qianlong." Yongzheng said with difficulty, full of expectations for Hongli.

Then the emperor closed his eyes gently, and Hongli burst into tears, thinking that Yongzheng was about to pass away at this moment.

After a moment, Yongzheng tried hard to open his eyes and looked at the Regent.

"Seventeenth brother, my kingdom is entrusted to you. You must assist the Fourth Prince well." The emperor said weakly to the Regent Prince Yunli.

"Royal brother, you can go with peace of mind. I will also take good care of your beloved concubine." Regent Prince Yunli lowered his head and whispered in the emperor's ear, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a barely perceptible sense of pride flashing in his eyes.

This scene happened to be seen by Yongzheng who was lying on the sickbed. He used his last bit of strength to open his eyes wide, trying to see the expression on Yunli's face clearly.

From this angle, only Yongzheng could see Yunli's contemptuous and complacent smile at this moment.

Suddenly, Yongzheng's body twitched violently, and he seemed to understand the meaning of what Yunli said.

He once suspected whether Yunli and Zhen Huan had a secret relationship, but everything else made him feel that this was impossible, so he didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that maybe he has been wrong all along...

Yongzheng stared, breathing heavily, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

He stared at Yunli, his eyes filled with anger, disappointment and unwillingness. However, it was too late.

After a moment, Yongzheng's body finally stopped shaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and left the world forever.

"The emperor has passed away!" Su Peisheng shouted with great distress.

For a moment, there were cries everywhere in the Yangxin Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, heartbroken.

Everyone was in tears and knelt down to kowtow to express their grief and respect for the emperor.

…………

The sky over the Forbidden City was covered by a layer of light dark clouds, making it look particularly gloomy.

The atmosphere in the palace was heavy and solemn, with white silk and elegiac couplets hanging everywhere, as if telling of a great sorrow.

In Jingren Palace, Yixiu sat quietly in front of the window, staring into the distance, but her thoughts had already drifted away. There was a trace of fatigue and sadness on her face, and her eyes were empty, as if she had lost all hope and vitality.

"The 'Emperor' has passed away? Impossible, this is impossible!"

Yixiu slowly closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks. She recalled every moment she had spent with Yongzheng, their emotional entanglements, quarrels, and cold wars, all of which were now a thing of the past.

She had once been full of resentment towards Yongzheng, but at this moment, all that resentment had disappeared.

She loved this man deeply, and even though he had hurt her countless times, she still couldn't let it go.

Yixiu opened her eyes, her vision blurred by tears.

She stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and felt heavy-hearted.

She thought of her past dreams of becoming a perfect queen and being favored by the 'Emperor'.

But now, everything has become a bubble, everything seems to be dissipating, and the only thought of "the emperor" is gone...

………………

After Yongzheng's death, the funeral ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner.

At night, Regent Prince Yunli, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong came to Jingren Palace.

In the dark and damp palace, Yixiu's hair was disheveled, her face was haggard, and her eyes were calm and desperate. She sat on the ground, still grieving for the death of Yongzheng.

She heard several footsteps coming towards her palace.

Zhen Huan looked at Yi Xiu with hatred in her eyes. Yi Xiu's imprisonment in Jingren Palace was a disguised torture. Her current appearance made Zhen Huan very satisfied. All the hatred and grudges would be resolved tonight.

"Yixiu, why are you so cruel? You sent people to assassinate me outside the palace three times. Do you really think I don't know?" Zhen Huan said coldly.

Yixiu raised her head and looked at Zhen Huan, her eyes full of disdain and unwillingness.

"Zhen Huan, don't be too proud too soon. I am still the queen, and the Ulanara family will never be defeated."

After saying this, Yixiu sneered, "Hahahahaha~~~~".

Zhen Huan looked at the embarrassed woman with cold eyes, slowly approached her, and looked down into her eyes.

"Empress? Have you lost your mind living in Jingren Palace? Now even the 'Emperor' is gone, not to mention you, the 'Empress' who is no longer the Empress. This is really a huge joke~"
