She took out a pen and paper from the drawer and started to write. Upon finishing, she put the letter into an envelope.

In the end, Empress Xiande took out an exquisite jade box from the bottom of the cabinet. The box was covered in a faint dust.

From the moment she married Emperor Yong Le, she knew about his illness. It took a lot of courage to marry a man who was going to die at any time.

However, she was the bravest young lady in her family and looked forward to marrying a hero the most. Emperor Yong Le was probably not a hero. He played with power and was scheming, but Empress Xiande still felt that he was her hero.

There was a small bottle in the jade box. She took it out and held it in her palm.

On the day she married Emperor Yong Le, Empress Xiande prepared this medicine bottle for herself.

If he died one day, she would go with him.

For so many years, every year, Empress Xiande would take out the medicine bottle to take a look at it. She would be glad that this medicine bottle didn’t need to be used in the end and hoped that she also didn’t need to use it the next

year.

Now, it was time to use it.

She was very weak, so weak that after Emperor Yong Le left, she did not have the courage to live the rest of her life.

She was also very brave, so brave that from the beginning, she knew that she might end up like this, but she still went ahead.

“Your Majesty, I’m coming to see you,” she said softly and drank the contents

of the medicine bottle in one gulp.

The moon gradually rose from the clouds and hung high above the water, as if it was smiling at the joys and sorrows of the world.

Shen Miao didn’t sleep very well that night. She had countless dreams, but she couldn’t remember any of them.

It was not until Jingzhe woke her up that Shen Miao looked at the bright sky outside and got up. She touched her forehead that was covered in cold sweat, feeling a trace of uneasiness.

Luo Tan ran in from outside. Her eyes were red. She looked at Shen Miao and said in a low voice, “Her Majesty is dead!”

Hearing this, Shen Miao dropped the handkerchief Jingzhe handed to her to the ground.

In less than a month, Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xiande passed away one after another, and the world was in grief.

When the consorts who used to scheme against each other heard the news, they rushed over one after another. Empress Xiande was benevolent and kind. In addition, Emperor Yong Le was not close to her, so these consorts did not display much hostility towards her. When they found out about this, they even sighed with emotions.

From the beginning to the end, Empress Xiande’s father looked very calm.

Perhaps he had already expected Empress Xiande to make this decision. Although he was sad, he could still accept it.

Empress Xiande and Emperor Yong Le were buried together in the imperial mausoleum. After this, they would only exist in the history of the Daliang

Dynasty.

What followed was many problems.

After Emperor Yong Le passed away, there was still Empress Xiande who could be in charge of the imperial court. After Empress Xiande passed away, who should be in charge of the imperial court now? Although Emperor Yong Le left an edict to pass down the throne, Xie Jingxing had not ascended the throne yet.

Speaking of which, it was not appropriate to call Shen Miao the empress now. However, Emperor Yong Le did not have any other siblings. The only one who was related to him by blood was Xie Jingxing..
