Traveling through the barren years, I have a system and am not afraid of anything

Tian Tian still felt a little melancholy when looking at the Queen Mother. It would be better not to tell her those things. Just let her leave quietly and talk about everything in the underworld!

"Little Tuanzi, the Grandmother may be leaving soon. Time is running out. Please take me back to the palace!"

Although she didn't want to set foot in the palace again, the empress dowager also knew that she could not die in Tianjia Village.

"I'll prepare it right away, but what about Heng'er and Ling'er?"

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, the maids knelt on the ground. Although they knew that this day would come sooner or later, they still couldn't help feeling sad.

"I want to take Heng'er and Ling'er back to the palace. They have lived a comfortable life for so many years, and it's time for them to face their own lives. But I want to entrust these people who followed me to the Tian family..."

The Queen Mother felt ashamed. After she was gone, these servants would basically have no way to make a living. Even if Li Yu took care of them out of their friendship, there would always be times when he could not do so.

"Your Highness, we servants will live and die with you. You cannot abandon us!"

The servants knelt on the ground. They all entered the palace at a young age and had already experienced all the bitterness of the world. It was only after following the Empress Dowager that they had a few days of peace of mind.

"Don't follow me, I..."

"To be honest, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

Although the Queen Mother was reluctant, she would not let these people who had followed her for many years be buried with her.

"Listen to your grandmother and retire in the Tian family. The Tian family will treat you as their own family!"

Tian Tian felt very upset. How could she not understand the Queen Mother's thoughts? It was precisely because she understood that she felt even more distressed for her.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Our little Tuanzi has a plan. Even if we go there, everything will be safe and sound!"

"There is also a Tianjia Village over there. The Queen Mother can still live in the village. When we get there, we will still be one village!"

The old lady whispered a few words into the empress dowager's ear. Little did she know that the empress dowager's greatest wish was to find her childhood sweetheart at the Naihe Bridge.

"Let's set off before dark. We can get to the capital as soon as possible so that we can make preparations early!"

Because I had to take Li Hengyuan and Ling'er back with me, I had to drive, but fortunately the journey was not too far and we arrived there overnight.

"You guys go back. I won't go. I can't stand the feeling of an old person sending off a young person!"

The national teacher had a sad face. Tian Tian saw through his narrow-mindedness at a glance. If he didn't want to go, then he didn't have to go. It would be better for him to stay in Tianjia Village.

"What do you mean by the old sending off the young? What's going on? Don't scare me. I'm old and can't help being scared~"

The old village chief, who had just returned from a stroll in the village, was confused and his heart almost jumped out of his chest after hearing what the national master said.

"Don't be afraid, Village Chief. My time is up and I'm going back to the palace!"

Looking at this adopted great-grandson that the old emperor had adopted for her, the empress dowager's eyes were filled with love.

"I have packed up all the things in my room. I will leave one for Xiaotuanzi and one for you. I will share the rest with the villagers. I will also keep some for their retirement."

The Queen Mother now looks like a kind elder, looking at everyone in the Tian family with loving care.

"The end is coming? I won't let the old lady die!"

The old village chief burst into tears. He really couldn't bear to let her go. Wouldn't it be good for the whole family to live together? Why did she have to die?

"Stop howling, shut up!"

The old village chief's crying gave the imperial master a headache, but he couldn't stop crying and soon all the members of the Tian family came back crying!

When they heard that the Empress Dowager was about to die, the members of the Tian family began to cry.

"Don't be sad, I've been looking forward to this day, but I don't know if I can meet good kids like you in my next life!"

The years in Tianjia Village were the happiest years in the Empress Dowager's life, and she was content.

Amid the sad cries of the Tian family, the Queen Mother got into the car, and Li Hengyuan and Ling'er, with tears streaming down their faces, were also carried into the car.

No farewell, just silent farewell.

The Tian family knelt on the ground to bid farewell to the Queen Mother, and Tian Tian drove away.

"Grandmother~"

There were only Tian Tian and the Queen Mother in the little red sports car.

"Little Dumpling, the Great Grandmother couldn't bear to part with you. Although you have been very busy in the past few years and are often not by her side, she is content!"

The Queen Mother always had a smile on her lips.

"I heard you say that there is a hell, so there must be a Naihe Bridge too. I am going to meet it now!"

The Queen Mother always has the shadow of Feng Guang Qi Yue in her heart.

Tian Tian gritted her teeth while driving. Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not commit suicide for the sake of her family, otherwise she would have skinned Dewey alive.

"Grandmother, what if he's not there?"

The Du family deceived the empress dowager all her life. After the empress dowager passed away, all members of the Du family had to go to the mining area to do hard labor. She would not let even the dead go.

"No, Du Lang always keeps his word. If he says he will wait for me, he will definitely wait for me!"

After witnessing the strong love between Magistrate Wu and his wife, the empress dowager looked forward to her childhood sweetheart even more.

Tian Tian didn't say a word along the way. The empress dowager felt drowsy as she listened to the soft music, but she always forced herself not to close her eyes.

Although she didn't know how many days she could live, the empress dowager had a feeling that this day was not far away. She had dreamed several times that her emperor husband came to pick her up.

But why was he the one who came? Shouldn't it be Du Lang?

The Queen Mother was still somewhat disappointed.

As daybreak approached, the car drove into the imperial city and headed straight for the palace.

"His Highness has returned to the palace. Go and report to His Majesty!"

The guards at the palace gate quickly opened it.

At that time, the morning court had not yet ended. Upon hearing that Tian Tian had returned to the palace, Li Yu left the court officials behind and ran back to the harem.

Tian Tian personally helped the empress dowager bathe and change clothes, and put on formal clothes that she had not worn for a long time.

"Grandmother, I have never served anyone before, and my methods are crude, please don't despise me, Grandmother!"

She had long regarded the Empress Dowager, who had truly loved her for more than ten years, as a relative.

"I am very satisfied to have my little dumpling personally serving me, but I am sorry that my little dumpling has been wronged!"

The Queen Mother looked kind, but the wrinkles on her face gradually disappeared. Tian Tian knew that the time was almost up.

"Why didn't Little Dumpling and the Empress Dowager send a message before they returned to the palace? Why are all the servants in the palace kneeling outside?"

Li Yu walked hurriedly, but his face was extremely excited.

"Yu'er, the Empress Dowager is leaving. You have to take good care of yourself in the future!"

Looking at Li Yu, who looked somewhat like the late emperor, the empress dowager reached out her hand to touch his face, but her hand dropped weakly.

"Grandma!"

Li Yu hugged the limp empress dowager and burst into tears.

In this cage-like palace, the Queen Mother was the only family member who gave him warmth and was the one who once protected him with her life.

"Father, please accept my condolences. Grandmother has passed away!"

Tian Tian didn't cry, nor did she shed any tears. She calmly placed the empress dowager on her phoenix bed and helped her tidy up her clothes.
