Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Baili Yan gritted his teeth and bit his nails anxiously, struggling internally whether to tell Shen Yuming the secret. This was absolutely not an option. Once the secret was leaked, the consequences would be disastrous.

On the other side, in Concubine Xian's bedroom, the air was filled with the bitter smell of herbs.

Empress Xian lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and her body thin. The imperial doctors were helpless and could only rely on drugs to maintain her life. The rest was up to fate.

The old nanny looked at Concubine Xian, her eyes full of heartache and tears welling up in her eyes. She had taken care of Concubine Xian since she was a child, and if Concubine Xian left, she would probably find it difficult to support herself.

"My queen, I'll go open the window." The old nanny said softly, pushing open the window to let the warm sunlight and breeze into the room.

"My lady, look, the flowers in the yard are in full bloom. They are your favorite flowers. You always liked to take care of them yourself."

"The weather is getting warmer. It would be nice to take a walk in the Imperial Garden and smell the fragrance of the flowers."

As the old nanny spoke, she couldn't help crying again. She wiped her tears and turned to Concubine Xian, only to find that she had opened her eyes and was looking at her weakly.

The old lady was so surprised and happy that she almost cried out, but she suppressed her excitement and called out softly, "Madam, you're awake!"

"I will go and call the imperial physician right away!" The old nanny turned around and prepared to go out.

Concubine Xian called her in a weak voice: "Mammy..."

The old lady immediately returned to the bed: "My lady, what do you want?"

Concubine Xian tried hard to speak: "Mammy, you are the person I trust the most now. I would like to ask you to help me fulfill a wish..."

"My lady, your illness will heal. It's not too late to talk to you once you recover."

The old maid said with concern. But Empress Xian shook her head. She knew she didn't have much time left. Her voice was weak but firm: "No, maid, this matter is very important."

She still had one thing on her mind, which was to leave a message for the child before she left this world.

When the old nanny saw the sadness in Concubine Xian's eyes, she felt as if she were doused with cold water. She felt cold from head to toe and began to shiver uncontrollably.

"My lady..."

"My days are numbered..." Concubine Xian sighed.

After hearing this, the old lady burst into tears and her voice choked with sobs.

"I have a request. I hope you can help me. Don't let others know." The old lady nodded with tears in her eyes.

Empress Xian smiled slightly, as if looking into the distance through the window lattice.

"This matter has always been a pain in my heart. For my own selfish desires, I cruelly sent my own daughter out of the palace. But fate seems to have compensated me, giving us a chance to reunite."

Her daughter is not only beautiful and gentle, but also lives a free and happy life, which is enough to make her feel at ease.

"As long as she is happy..."

The old nanny nodded again and promised: "Don't worry, madam, I will personally convey your feelings to Miss Aliang."

"Thank you, Ma'am!" Empress Xian looked exhausted and slowly closed her eyes.

The old lady nervously checked her breathing and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that she was just resting, but her heart was still filled with reluctance and sadness.

She understood that the reason why Concubine Xian had been able to hold on until now was because she could not let go of this concern.

"I will definitely help you fulfill your last wish and let you go peacefully." The old nanny said firmly, then hurriedly left the palace and headed straight for the Su family with a small package.

Arriving at the Su family, the old lady knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened and a guard looked at her warily.

"who are you?"

"I'm here to see Miss Aliang." the old nanny replied.

The guard led her into the mansion, and the old nanny waited on the path. Soon after, Aliang appeared. When she saw the old nanny, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes - she recognized this nanny, who was once a close attendant to Concubine Xian.

"Miss Aliang." The old nanny looked at Aliang with mixed feelings. Aliang looked very similar to Empress Xian when she was young, as if time had gone back and she saw her former master again.

Aliang walked over silently and looked at the old lady in confusion, wondering the purpose of her visit.

The old lady adjusted her mood and forced a smile, saying, "Miss Aliang, my queen admires you very much and asked me to bring you some gifts." After that, she handed the package in her hand to Aliang.

Aliang took the package with a complicated look and did not open it immediately.

"This is a gift from the queen, please accept it." The old nanny's tone was sincere and her eyes were full of affection, but she kept many unspoken words in her heart.

Some words, once spoken, can bring disaster. It is better not to say anything about this matter.

The old lady's hands trembled slightly. She stared at Aliang and finally said softly, "Miss Aliang, please take care of yourself."

Aliang's eyes stayed on the old lady, not looking at the package in her hand. The old lady took a deep breath and was about to turn around and leave...

"Is the queen okay?" Aliang suddenly asked.

The old lady paused, her body began to tremble, and she was almost about to cry. The life of the queen was in danger, and the one she was most concerned about was Aliang.

If possible, I really hope Aliang can see the Empress for the last time!

But this is impossible. The old lady clenched her fists, turned her head, and forced a smile: "The queen is fine."

That smile was more heartbreaking than crying, and after saying that, he quickly left.

Ah Liang looked at the old lady's back as she walked away, feeling inexplicably depressed and wanting to catch up with her. She held the package tightly, her fingers turning pale from the force.

Only when the old lady's figure completely disappeared did Aliang turn back to the yard, walk into his room, and gently place the package on the table.

She stared at the package, complex emotions flashing across her eyes, full of hesitation and struggle.

After a long time, she finally mustered up the courage and slowly unwrapped the package. What could it be that Empress Xian had sent?

As the packages were opened layer by layer, an old wooden box appeared before his eyes. Aliang was stunned and reached out to pick up the box.

The moment the box was opened, Aliang's pupils suddenly contracted, an expression of shock appeared on his face, and he could no longer remain calm.

Baili Yan's heart was filled with uneasiness, and he finally decided to get up and go to the palace. On the one hand, it was to visit Concubine Xian, and on the other hand, it was to investigate the anomalies in Concubine Qing's palace.

Ye Ziru must have made some unusual moves before she fled the palace, and perhaps we could get some clues from them. After making up his mind, Baili Yan set off quickly.

Arriving at Concubine Xian's palace, he went straight to the room where Concubine Xian was.

Unlike usual, the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and Empress Xian was lying quietly on the bed, in a coma.

He approached silently, lowered his head, and said softly: "Mother, Yan'er is here to see you."

At this moment, Empress Xian had actually woken up, but she was too weak to open her eyes and could only flutter her eyelashes slightly.

"Mother." Baili Yan looked down at Concubine Xian's face with a very complicated expression.

"Mother, what should I do?"

He was in pain and confusion. Ye Ziru had leaked the secret to others. If the news spread, he would be in great danger.
