Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

During this period, the emperor's condition became more serious and he coughed up blood more frequently.

When the concubines in the harem learned that the emperor was seriously ill, they were all extremely anxious and vied with each other to go to the Yangxin Palace to serve him.

However, they were all sent back by Shen Meimei for various reasons.

In fact, it was not that Shen Meimei intended to stop other concubines, but the emperor made it clear that he did not want to be disturbed and just wanted to be with her quietly. Faced with the emperor's insistence, Shen Meimei had no other choice for a while.

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. I promise you that I will not leave your side. For the sake of our child, I will never leave."

Although Shen Meimei agreed without hesitation, she was actually more conflicted than anyone else.

This time, the emperor was really unconscious and fell into a coma.

Shen Meimei tried various methods, but the emperor still did not respond.

"Su Peisheng, go get all the doctors in!"

The imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Service came in one after another and gave the emperor various medicines, but the emperor never opened his eyes.

Shen Meimei knew that the emperor's time had come. She stood up and said to Su Peisheng:

"Go and notify all officials above the fourth rank in the capital to enter the palace immediately!"

"Xiao Yunzi, take the military order to the leader of the imperial army camp and immediately call up the troops to defend the palace! Whether the transfer of imperial power can go smoothly depends on tonight!"

Inside the Forbidden City, people were in panic, and outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, faint cries could be heard.

Shen Meimei was feeling annoyed. She went out, stood on the steps, and looked down at the many concubines kneeling below, sobbing.

"The emperor is still here, and you're crying like this?

Concubine Xin, I have to serve the Emperor now. It is an emergency. I will give you a task. Let all the concubines return to their own palaces immediately and close the palace gates. Wait until everything is calm before making plans!"

Concubine Xin stood up and nodded to Shen Meimei, "Yes, Queen, I obey your orders!"

Soon, all the concubines withdrew under the leadership of Concubine Xin.

Shen Meimei looked at the time on her cell phone. It was twelve o'clock midnight, and there were still four hours left. If she didn't go back now, she would be trapped in the Forbidden City for the rest of her life and would never be able to go back.

She struggled and was confused, not knowing what to choose.

Shen Meimei moved a stool and sat next to the emperor's bed. She reached out and held the emperor's hand.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor opened his eyes for the last time. He looked around and saw several princes kneeling in the room, looking relieved. "All of you go out. I have something to tell the queen!"

The princes left the Yangxin Palace crying and knelt at the door again.

"Mei'er, you haven't left yet? Are you still soft-hearted? I want to ask you, what is the evaluation of me in history?" The emperor actually asked this question.

Shen Meimei's eyes were filled with tears. "That's a very high evaluation! You are the most diligent emperor in history, comparable to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin!"

"Really? I have always followed the example of wise rulers and want to do something myself.

Unfortunately, there are always many things that are not done as expected, and I regret it. If my methods could be gentler and I didn't offend so many literati, would my reputation be better in the future?"

The emperor was weak and exhausted, but he was still thinking about his reputation after his death.

Shen Meimei held the emperor's hand and nodded affirmatively, "You are a good emperor, I know! But..."

She wanted to ask about the imperial edict of succession, but the emperor did not take the initiative to say it. Shen Meimei hesitated whether to ask.
