Empress Dowager Zhang's wish has been fulfilled, her vitality has declined, and she is on her deathbed.

Everyone stayed by the bedside to see off Queen Mother Zhang's last journey.

When Empress Dowager Zhang was drowsy, she suddenly pointed at Ye Ci.

Ye Ci hurriedly came to the bedside and asked, "What are your instructions, mother?"

Queen Mother Zhang grabbed her sleeve and said, "You are very good, very good. After I leave, you will take good care of them. I can rest assured that you are here."

"promise!"

Ye Ci bowed in agreement.

Queen Mother Zhang smiled with satisfaction. She let go of her hand, slowly closed her eyes, and finally breathed her last breath.

"Mother!"

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng burst into tears and screamed, throwing himself in front of the bed, unable to help himself.

Other clan members also knelt down and cried bitterly.

Ye Ci stood next to Liu Heng and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has gone."

"I have lost my mother!" Emperor Kaicheng was heartbroken.

"Let the Queen Mother rest in peace! Don't worry about her leaving."

Ye Ci made the decision and let the palace staff bury the Empress Dowager. The Young Master was responsible for the decoration of the mourning hall, and the Ministry of Rites was responsible for arranging the memorial service for the courtiers and married women.

On the clan side, Zongzheng Temple is responsible.

Ye Ci still gave a few words of advice, "It's freezing cold, so take measures to keep warm. The Queen Mother is kind, and she doesn't want anything unexpected to happen because of the funeral. Your Majesty, I will take care of you here. Prince, just think about it."

The Minister of Rites is responsible for paying homage and sharing your father's worries."

"promise!"

Tasks were assigned one after another, and the entire palace became busy because of the death of Empress Dowager Zhang.

The capital was completely white.

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng was sitting on the steps of Jianzhang Palace. He had not eaten or drank for a day, and no one could persuade him.

Ye Ci was by his side, and the two relied on each other.

She said to herself, or to Liu Heng, Emperor Kaicheng, "When the master left, I was still a little girl and had never had hairpins. Then I would have thought that I could do anything. Even if the master was not around, there would be nothing."

Things can trouble me until His Majesty arrives.

I still remember the days in Yunxia Mountain. Although the place was remote and business was not prominent, it was peaceful and contented.

Your Majesty, do you still remember the first time you took off your socks and went into the water? At that time, you were like a bamboo pole. Your legs were so thin that there was only one bone left, and the total flesh of your whole body was probably only two ounces. You still have it from time to time.

Coughing, it looks like his life is not going to be long.

To tell you the truth, I was really afraid that you would die in Yunxia Mountain and that you would implicate me. Otherwise, I would not donate the medicinal materials to save your life. I really did not welcome you because you were a trouble.

It's still a big trouble. You are very sick and may die at any time. I don't know who came up with the bad idea to use me, the evil star of heaven, to restrain your pain. It's really strange that it works. Maybe.

It’s something that has its own arrangements.”

Ye Ci looked at him, "I still remember the first time I met the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was very kind to me and never made things difficult for me. All the preparations I made were not put to use. It's a pity. I still think about it.

After entering the palace, if anyone provoked me, I would slap him in the face. As a result, the whole process was uneventful and smooth. I had so many things to think about at that time, and I tried to think of everything."

After saying that, Ye Ci smiled, but then quickly stopped.

"You said that after you have recovered your health, why are you so arrogant and self-righteous? You decided to get married without my consent. It's really irritating. If you hadn't made your own decision, I would have given up my family long ago.

I will follow my master all over the world."

Ye Ci missed the experiences of traveling around the world with his master very much. Although it was a bit bitter and he often slept in the open air, it was really interesting.

She still clearly remembers everything that happened in those years, the various people she met and the various things she experienced.

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng suddenly grabbed Ye Ci's hand, "My mother has left me, do you also have to leave?"

Ye Ci shook his head, "Of course I will not leave you. Master abandoned me, and now you are the only one left by my side. Your Majesty, will you abandon me?"

"Of course not, I want to be with you for eternity."

"You are really terrible. It is a great fate that we can be husband and wife in this life. As for the next life, forget it. I will follow the master and you will continue to be your noble son."

"I don't allow it!" Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng's face was extremely serious, as if he had been greatly stimulated, "I don't allow you to leave."

"Okay, I won't leave! Then let go first, you're hurting me."

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng handed over his hand and took a deep breath slowly, "Without my mother, I feel like there is a void in my heart. Nothing can fill it. It is empty. I cannot say how good my relationship with my mother is.

When I was a child, my mother always took care of everything. Even I had to obey her orders on what to eat, wear, and do. She took care of too much, but I couldn't resist.

In fact, when my father ordered me to go to Yunxia Mountain to recuperate, I felt it was a relief, although I never told anyone. I even gave up on myself at one point, or I would have died in Yunxia Mountain. Anyway, with this broken body, there was no hope.

Who would have thought that I would meet you and you would really save me. As my body gradually recovered, I naturally had many thoughts and ambitions in my heart. I still remember that time when you coveted my beauty."

Ye Ci simply rolled his eyes.

It’s been an old almanac for many years, and I still have to dig it out now. It’s really stinky!

"Yes, I will particularly appreciate His Majesty's peerless appearance."

"You finally admitted it." Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng looked very proud. After so many years, a woman who did not want to be named finally admitted her little thoughts back then.

"I said in front of my father that I wanted to marry you. Although I had no choice but to do so, the fact is that I didn't ask for your opinion. Do you hold a grudge?"

The two have been married for many years, but Emperor Kai Cheng Liu Heng is still a little nervous.

He was afraid of hearing an answer that would upset him.

Ye Ci thought about it carefully and said, "Remembering a grudge is out of the question. I understand that you like to make your own decisions too much. My adoptive father was there at the time, and he said that marrying you would be a good destination for me. With my reputation, I think

To be honest, it's not easy to get married. It's even more difficult to marry into a wealthy family. Although I don't care about marriage, I have to admit that what my adoptive father said makes sense."

The stone in Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng's heart fell to the ground.

But he had a new question, "If I hadn't married you back then, would you really have followed Qingyunzi around the world?"

"Yes! Definitely! If I had no engagement, Master would have returned to Yunxia Mountain early to pick me up. Maybe by now I would be practicing Taoism in an overseas fairy mountain. I am very talented."

She never forgets to brag about herself.

Her innate skills were really wrong. She didn't learn anything from Qingyunzi's Taoism.

This may be the reason why the master refused to come to see her.

Thinking of this, she felt sad again and felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng hugged her tightly, and he did not miss her after all. Fortunately, he made a desperate move and settled the marriage early and did not let her run away.

If she ran away, where would he find such a good wife?
