If Chu Mingcui was mad at her, she could pay her back and accuse her in public, or even slap her in the face, which was understandable. Her back-stabbing was too vicious.
She put down her hand. She could stop thinking about Chu Mingcui for now, but would everything go well with the Retired Emperor? She wondered if the Retired Emperor would be willing to trust her.
She had read a lot of history books, including official and unofficial history, but she had never read about a country called the North Tang. Therefore, the history she had studied couldn’t help her know the temper of the Retired Emperor.
The uncertainty of her life and future was stifling her.
She was extremely exhausted and turned her head to look at Yu Wenhao lying on the ground. He was like a sleeping lion. When he woke up, she would suffer again, unless the Retired Emperor could summon her.
She put on a wry smile. She knew she saved the Retired Emperor partially for her own good.
She wouldn’t be able to survive in Prince Wenhao’s residence without protection.
In the sleeping hall of the Retired Emperor,
all the princes had entered the room and said goodbye to their grandfather. Now, everyone was kneeling outside, waiting for the Retired Emperor to stop breathing.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn and sad. The air was almost mixed with the vapor of tears. The Queen Mother and the noble concubine were both overwhelmed with grief, and the servants had to take them out temporarily.
Emperor Mingyuan was also sitting outside, waiting for Eunuch Chang who was waiting inside to make the announcement, then he would kneel to see his father leave the world.
Everyone was ready for that moment to come.
Finally, the dark curtain was lifted. Emperor Mingyuan frowned with his eyes full of sorrow. His limp softened, but before he knelt, Eunuch Chang said with great joy, "His Majesty wants to have some millet congee."
The Emperor freeze, and rushed over to see his father. He had already opened his eyes and was stroking Lucky. He looked so much better than before.
"Hurry, tell the imperial kitchen to get some millet congee right now!" Emperor Mingyuan was overjoyed with a tinge of excitement in his voice.
