Chapter 911: Chapter 913 The Death of Jin Guifei (5)

The next day

Cai Wei had just gotten out of bed when she received a message from Brother Parrot.

"Master, Jin Guifei is dying. The imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau and the ladies of the harem are all gathered at Silk Palace. The Emperor is crying like a flood of tears!"

"Oh, it seems the Emperor truly cared for her. However, it’s of no use now," Cai Wei responded.

Sitting in front of her dressing table and facing the Copper Mirror, Cai Wei combed her hair with a satisfied smile!

"Ga—"

Brother Parrot cried out, "Just now, it seemed like a mirage of health. She even spoke a word to the Emperor!"

"What did she say?"

Cai Wei set down her comb, her expression suddenly turning serious. She was well aware of Jin Guifei’s position in the Emperor’s heart and knew how significant Jin Guifei’s last words could be to the Emperor; thus, she could not ignore what Jin Guifei had just said.

Brother Parrot continued, "Master, her voice was too soft; I didn’t hear it. But the Emperor nodded... Ah, she’s dead!"

"Is it Jin Guifei who has died?" Cai Wei asked anxiously.

"Yes, Master. She just breathed her last!"

"Oh, good, good, she has finally died!" Cai Wei felt a huge relief. This ruthless woman who wanted to kill her entire family was finally dead. Although she hadn’t had the chance to exact direct revenge, she had died by her own orchestrations, which left Cai Wei without any regrets.

Cai Wei was very pleased!

The women of the harem were also very pleased!

The once supremely favoured Jin Guifei finally died, and the concubines in all palaces felt as though their spring had arrived!

During the more than twenty years of Jin Guifei’s presence, she uniquely held the Emperor’s affection amassing the favour of three thousand unto herself. Although the other ladies of the harem had titles, they rarely received the Emperor’s favor. Many of the high-ranking concubines remained virgins to this day. Jin Guifei being cautious forbade the Emperor from getting close to the nobly born concubines and from allowing them to bear children. However, those concubines who were of low birth and did bear children usually had their children taken by the nobly born concubines. As a result, resentment filled the harem, and everyone was eager for the initiator of this disparity — Jin Guifei — to die!

With her death, the entire harem’s ladies were overjoyed, yet in the presence of the Emperor, they had to feign extreme sorrow. After all, the Emperor cared about Jin Guifei.

At this moment, Emperor Jin Ming wept until he almost fainted as he clutched the corpse of Jin Guifei, mourning profusely and berating himself.

"Yun’er, I have wronged you. I shouldn’t have hurt your heart for another woman and caused your death. I deeply regret it..."

"Yun’er, please open your eyes and look at me. As long as you live, I will follow only your wishes, I want no one else but you, is that alright?"

Upon hearing the Emperor’s words, the hearts of the ladies in each palace were split in two, yet having waited so long for Jin Guifei’s death, none of them wanted to give up just like that. Hence, they all surrounded the Emperor, each crying more miserably than the last, yet each one appeared more graceful than the next.

Heeding the commands of Jin Zhong, The Prince, Nangong Shi, wept unrestrainedly, almost to the point of death. Sobbing, he shamelessly muttered, "Mother, take me with you. I am incapacitated; life holds no meaning for me. It would be better to join you than to face destitution in the future, that would break mother’s heart in heaven..."

When Emperor Jin Ming heard this, his heart ached so remorsefully that he gasped for breath, scolding, "You unworthy thing, your mother’s body is not yet cold, and you speak such nonsense. Do you really want her soul to be disturbed?"

The Prince cried, "Imperial Father, forgive me. Your son was just expressing his feelings and didn’t mean to disturb mother’s spirit!"
