The death knell tolled and the whole country mourned.

White silk was also hung in Prince Lian's palace. The servants in the palace were naturally happy and excited that the new emperor was the second prince in the palace and their master, but the previous emperor had just passed away. Even if they were happy, they could not show it now. Their faces were heavy and solemn.

But after all, my steps are still a bit lighter and I am extra energetic when doing things.

Xinxueyuan.

When the Eighth Lady, who was hanging on to her last breath, heard the funeral bell, she struggled to grab the hand of the maid who was serving her, her eyes wide open.

"…Who is the new emperor?!"

The maid was frightened by her ferocious face: "Fujin, you, you..."

"Answer me, who is it!"

The Eighth Lady tried her best to suppress the severe pain in her heart. After saying just two sentences, she began to gasp for breath desperately, holding the maid's hand but refusing to let go at all.

She just wanted to know, if the new emperor was not Prince Lian, after failing in the fight for the throne, she wanted to see if the glory of the mansion would remain. She was waiting for the whole mansion to be destroyed together.

"The new... the new emperor is... the second... the second prince..."

The maidservant was so hurt by being grabbed that she stammered.

After all, the master in front of him was really a moody one, and the concubine's housekeeper was very strict and would not allow servants to deceive their superiors or their masters. So even if the Eighth Concubine was in poverty, he did not order her to be made difficult. Once someone treated the Eighth Concubine harshly in order to please the concubine, and the concubine punished him severely. However, the Eighth Concubine was in poor health and her temperament became more and more weird. The servants didn't talk to her at all.

“Hahahahaha… cough cough cough!”

Upon hearing this, the Eighth Lady's blood surged up, she grabbed the bed sheet and laughed fiercely, but she got a stitch in the side as soon as she laughed. She coughed heartbreakingly, and her emotions fluctuated greatly:

"The new emperor is actually Niuhulu's child, it's actually her child!"

"She is of low status, how can she be the mother of the new emperor!"

As the Eighth Lady spoke, her eyes were full of paranoia. The maid was frightened by her madness and unconsciously broke free from her and stepped back.

The Eighth Lady glared at her fiercely, and then suddenly, like a possessed person, she touched her shriveled belly due to illness, with a fierce, crazy and angry look in her eyes, and her face was distorted:

"Niuhulu is not... not worthy!"

"If this wife can give birth, the new emperor will definitely be this wife's son, this wife's son..." son.

Before she could finish her words, she ran out of breath and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Her body convulsed violently and she fell back on the bed, dying.

Only those resentful and angry eyes were still open.

The maid was shocked. The housekeeper who had just come in from outside the door remained calm and said calmly:

"Pack up properly. The funeral of the late emperor is a big event, and the affairs of the new emperor are also big events. Don't let insignificant people disturb it."

The maid bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Ma'am."

……

At the same time, in Yiyao Pavilion in Prince Yong's Mansion, Niuhuru Shitong, who was holding on to her last breath even though she was seriously ill and was waiting for Prince Yong to ascend the throne and become his empress, completely collapsed mentally.

“What…what? Say it again!” Niu Hulu Shitong’s mind went blank when he heard that the candidate for the new emperor was Hong Yan.

If this is true, then what was the point of her being so seriously ill that she couldn't get up all these years, and struggling to hold on and finally survive by becoming the imperial concubine and suppressing her elder sister in Prince Lian's mansion?

Xiang Xun looked at the haggard and disbelieving woman, and the smile on her face gradually faded. She didn't understand her master's mentality, but she still repeated it, but her voice was much lower:

"Master, the new emperor is indeed the second prince of Prince Lian's mansion."

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Niu Hulu Shitong shook his head like a wave drum, and his lips were bitten until they bled.

It is obvious that Prince Yong should be the new emperor, and she should be Concubine Xi. But now, she is still a princess, and the Concubine Xi in her previous life will become the empress dowager.

How is it possible? How could she believe that she could start over again but live such a miserable life? Then why did she go to so much trouble to enter Prince Yong's mansion and scheme against her fifth sister?

Niu Hulu Shitong was completely devastated. Could it be that God was so kind to her good sister that she would become the Queen Mother no matter what? !

Xiangxun was frightened by Niu Hulu Shitong's reaction and quickly lowered the bed curtain. Knowing that her master cared about status, she also advised in this regard:

"Master, he is your sister's son. If she gets better, you will definitely get better too. Maybe for the sake of the new emperor, the master will ask the new emperor to grant you a concubine."

Unexpectedly, Niu Hulu Shitong shook her hand away when she heard this: "What's so great about a concubine?"

"I want to be an imperial concubine, an imperial... um!"

Before she could finish her words, Xiang Xun, who looked terrified, covered her mouth and pushed her into the sheets.

Niu Hulu Shitong widened her eyes, feeling that Xiangxun was bullying her. How dare a lowly maid commit such a crime? She became furious and suddenly bit Xiangxun's hand.

Xiangxun felt pain and shook her hand reflexively. Niuhuru Shitong had been seriously ill for many years and was hit directly on the corner of the bed by this shake and fainted.

Xiangxun was not panicked. She felt that Niu Hulu Shitong was a disaster. The master had only ordered her to be seriously ill and saved her life, but she was still talking nonsense and was so ignorant of her own life. She said such things just because of jealousy towards her sister, and she was not afraid of bringing disaster to the entire palace.

She had to report this matter to her master.

Niu Hulu Shitong probably didn't know until her death that Xiangxun had become Prince Yong's spy to keep an eye on her since that day.

She wants to die, and Xiangxun can't protect her.
