Even though the sun was hanging in the sky, the entire palace, especially Phoenix Cry Palace, was so cold that it caused one to shiver. The emperor was still in Phoenix Cry Palace, and was still tightly hugging the empress's phoenix body. The empress had long since stopped breathing; just as Jiu Yu had said, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

"Your majesty, the empress dowager invites you over." As if the Empress Mother had heard the news, she would send someone to ask the Emperor.

However, Helian Yi ignored him. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Prince Cheng, who had been serving in the empress dowager's palace for the past two days, arrived.

"Royal brother, what happened? 'Imperial Aunt, she … ' When Prince Cheng arrived at Phoenix Cry Palace and saw the imperial physicians kneeling in a row, he was greatly alarmed. The stench of blood in the air grew stronger as he walked further in, and the floor of the inner hall was covered in blood as well.

"Get out! Get out! No one is allowed to disturb me or the girl …" Helian Yi roared.

"Imperial brother, the empress dowager sent her younger brother here to see what was going on. This …"

"Scram …" Helian Yi said a single word, and with the powerful force of his palm, he drove Prince Cheng out of Phoenix Cry Palace.

"Eunuch Lian, just what happened? Yesterday, my imperial sister-in-law was in good spirits. Why did she …" Even now, Prince Cheng still didn't understand the situation. What had happened to the empress in the hands of the emperor?

"Ai, prince, you should go take care of the empress dowager first. This servant doesn't dare to say too much on this matter." Even Eunuch shook his head. How dare he say one more word, no one would dare approach the emperor now. Ever since he knew that the empress had passed away, the emperor had behaved like this.

"Then what about Imperial Aunt?" Prince Cheng still wanted to go in and see, otherwise he wouldn't be able to report back to the empress dowager.

"The empress isn't feeling well. The prince was born early, but unfortunately he died soon after he was born. The empress …" "Even the empress died because of the blood death …" Lian Hai choked with sobs.

"Ah?" How could this happen? Where's the imperial physician? What does an imperial physician do? " Prince Cheng was greatly alarmed as he watched the imperial physician kneeling by the side. Only then did he somewhat understand.

"Prince, you don't need to ask. You should go take care of the empress dowager first. The emperor is currently grieving right now, so there's no point in you staying here." Lian Hai advised.

"Alright, Senior Lian, report any news to this king." Duke Cheng paused and looked at the open doors to the palace, and could only speak.

"Lian Hai, get your ass in here for me."

"That's only natural. Your Highness, please leave." Helian Yi roared, causing Lian Hai to be frightened. He staggered and almost fell down. Before entering, he tried to persuade his lord again.

"Your majesty, this servant is here." Lian Hai scrambled into the hall. Helian Xi was still hugging the empress's corpse, but her face was even paler and more frightening.

"Zhen asks you, who fed the medicine to the empress?" Helian Chen gently caressed the corner of the bloody figure's mouth, the corner of his mouth still seemed to be stained with medicine.

"It's Jiang Fugui, Li Laishun. Your servant and Imperial Physician Xu are here to watch. There's no problem with the medicine." Lian Hai didn't know what the emperor intended by asking this, so he tremblingly reported.

"Has the empress ever resisted?" Helian Yi Chen hated himself to death in his heart. There was no need for him to be so merciless. He could use her to imprison her in the palace, regardless of her wishes.

He could wait until she gave birth to the child. As long as he kept the child, as long as he didn't let her leave, she would never be able to escape. But then, he would feel like he was about to explode. The woman he cared most about had plotted against him with his mortal enemies, and he could not accept that, nor would he allow it to happen.

"No, when this servant came with Imperial Physician Xu, Empress Dowager was lying on the bed. She didn't say a single word. She didn't even say anything while she was feeding the medicine, but just said a few words not long after she drank it, as if she'd said 'No' …" "And after 'painful' and 'painful', it doesn't seem to be there anymore." Lian Hai recalled that the empress didn't seem to have resisted at all. At the time, he also thought it was strange. With the empress's personality, how could she be so resigned to her fate?

"He did not say my name? "You didn't scold me?" Helian Chen wiped the blood from the corner of Luo Xue's mouth. His hand caressed her face, lightly, as if he wanted to carve that face into his heart.

"No, Imperial Physician Xu is here as well. The empress definitely didn't curse the emperor." The more Hai Yang listened, the more frightened he became. He didn't know what the emperor was planning to do. Since he was already dead, was the emperor going to pursue the responsibility of scolding people?

"Where's the baby?" Helian Yi looked at the blood stains on the ground and asked, "Where is that stillborn child?"

"Return... "Reporting to the emperor, this servant has already … has already …"

"Go find him. Immediately, Zhen will see the stillborn child and have the imperial physicians come in and await his orders." Helian Yi said as she stood up straight and let go of the bloody figure in her arms.

"Yes, your servant will do it right away." Even Hai Yang was frightened out of his wits. He didn't know if he would have the time to deal with that dead baby. He had no idea that the emperor would want to see a dead baby. If he had known earlier, he would have left it here.

After Lian Hai had left, Helian Chen stood in front of the bed, looking at the bed as if it were a queen soaked in blood.

His face was still the same, but he felt that something wasn't right. When he came, the girl was still warm, but the feeling when he held her in his arms was unfamiliar.

He could not believe that the little girl would die just like that. He could not accept that the little girl was the strongest girl he had ever seen, and she would definitely not resist.

Helian Chen stood in front of the bed, staring at the corpse on the bed. This was too wrong, too illogical, the little girl was so stubborn, so sharp-tongued, and even would rather die than submit, how could she not retaliate when being fed medicine?

Even if it wasn't for her own sake, she should at least fight for her child. No, this wasn't like a little girl.

He waved his hand, and a wall of fog rose up around him. The fog slowly thinned out until no one could see him anymore. He had been in intimate contact with the girl before, so he vaguely remembered that there was a red mole on his left breast.

He would collapse and go mad if he did not find out the truth. With a wave of his hand, he untied the corpse's clothes, and his snow-white skin was even paler because of the loss of blood. Furthermore, it had lost its former luster and gained an extra layer of dampness.

No, this body was as smooth and clean as jade. Not to mention a red mole, it didn't even have a black mole. What was going on?

Suddenly, images flashed through Helian Chen's mind. He held his breath and chanted an incantation. A light blue light enveloped the corpse on the bed and the corpse slowly floated up. After approximately ten minutes, it slowly fell down.

This woman was not a girl, she must have been replaced by someone. However, in such a short period of time, who could do it? At that time, in order to prevent Jiu Yu from making a move, he had deliberately dragged Jiu Yu along. In front of him, he believed that Jiu Yu wouldn't be able to do anything. Just who was it?

Sure enough, when the faint blue light scattered from the corpse, there was an obvious change to the face. Although the outline of the face did not change, there was a change in the facial features.

"Someone, send in the imperial physician." Helian Yi Chen shouted.

The imperial physicians rushed in one by one in panic, but because they had knelt for too long, every one of them found it difficult to stand.

"Long live the sinner."

"Imperial Physician Xu, come over. Zhen wants to check if she died in the blood explosion." With a wave of his hand, Helian Yi ordered the men to bring a chair over and sit at the foot of the bed.

"In reply to Your Majesty, the Empress did indeed die in a bloodbath, because the fetus …" Too... "Too big, causing …"

"I don't want to listen to your blabbering. I want you to look at it now and carefully examine it." Helian Yi ordered coldly.

He wanted to see who would have the guts to play the trick of moving flowers under his nose. There were many women in the palace, but it was hard to get a pregnant woman. No matter who it was, if he found out, he would definitely make her die with him.

Without another word, Imperial Physician Xu kneeled before the bed and examined the corpse under Helian Chen's eyes.

"Back, back to the emperor, the empress did indeed die in a bloodbath." Imperial Physician Xu's face was pale as he lifted the quilt to let Helian Chen bathe at the end of the bed. Although he was already dead, blood still flowed from his body.

"All of you, examine one piece for me. I want to know the true cause of death." Helian Yi said angrily.

No matter how many imperial physicians examined the cause of death, it was all the same. There would always be massive postpartum hemorrhage.

"Send the order to bring all of the palace maids from Phoenix Cry Palace here." Helian Yi bit her teeth. No matter what, she could not spread the news of the Queen being transferred over. Otherwise, how could her dignity as the Emperor be given to him?

But he couldn't just let it go like that. Since the body on the bed wasn't the little girl, then where was she? He had to find out exactly which dead baby came from and where. He wanted to see what other evildoers existed in his harem.

Helian Yi faced the red-eyed palace maids in Phoenix Cry Palace and questioned them one by one. Ever since she had left Long Xiang Palace, many people had come into contact with the empress and questioned her. The conclusion she came to was that the empress had been lying on her bed ever since she came back.

After about half an incense of time, Lian Hai finally came back with the dead baby.

"Return... Return to the Emperor, die … The stillborn child has been brought here. " Lian Hai was panting heavily. He finally found the stillborn child. He might be able to save half his head this time.

"Apart from Xu Aiqing, all the other dear officials can return to the imperial physician first." Helian Yi said to the imperial physicians in front of him.

All the imperial physicians were overjoyed at these words. As they left, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for their fellow Imperial Physician Xu. It looked like Sir Xu couldn't avoid this.

"All of you can leave now. Even Hai Yang and Xu Aiqing can stay here." Watching the imperial physician leave, Helian Xi then ordered the people to leave the palace, leaving behind Lian Hai and Imperial Physician Xu who had been ordered to carry out the miscarriage.

"Xu Aiqing, now that the fetus is dead, do you have any way to find out if he's my flesh and blood?" Helene asked.

"I can return to the Emperor." Imperial Physician Xu was greatly alarmed and could only bite the bullet.

"Very good, then immediately investigate this. I want to know if this is my flesh and blood." Actually, Helian Xi had already made up her mind and asked Imperial Physician Xu to investigate. She only wanted to confirm it, but it frightened Lian Hai to the side.

He thought, if this child really is the emperor's son, then I'm afraid his and Imperial Physician Xu's little lives will all be gone. While the emperor's eyes were focused on the bed, Lian Hai kept giving Imperial Physician Xu meaningful glances, hinting that he should be careful.

But how could Imperial Physician Xu have the heart to look at Lian Hai's eyes? He only focused on the matters at hand, which made Lian Hai even more nervous and sweating like rain. He didn't dare say anything, hoping that Imperial Physician Xu would be more conspicuous.
