The queen died of illness, and the news quickly spread throughout Weiyang Palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs were naturally sad and sad. After all, the queen took care of them all when she was alive, but they didn't want to be killed by this damn smallpox.
The saddest thing is of course the Yuanyang Palace.
"Queen Mother!"
"Queen Mother!"
"I want a queen mother!"
"You all go away,
Get out of here."
In the Yuanyang Hall, the eldest princess Liu Rongyue had already burst into tears, and the second son of the emperor Liu Chen was even crying and shouting to go to the Jiaofang Hall.
"Chen'er!"
"Chen'er!"
Zhang Yang, who suppressed his grief, hugged Liu Chen and said, "Chen'er doesn't make trouble, Chen'er doesn't make trouble, my aunt is here,"
My aunt is here."
Woohoo~
"Auntie!"
"Chen'er wants a queen mother!"
"Chen'er wants a queen mother!"
Zhang Yang was heartbroken when he heard Liu Chen's cry.
Zhang Yuan is her biological sister,
Her sister suddenly disappeared, how could she not be sad?
What's more, her sister has doted on her very much since she was a child.
It’s just that at this time——
She can only bury this sadness deep in her heart. She has to take good care of her sister's two children. This is what she must do.
The maid serving next to her couldn't help but shed tears.
Although they are the maids of the Yuanyang Palace, they have also received favors from the Queen. Now that they see the prince and princess so sad, how can they not feel sad as well?
Zhang Yang hugged his two nephews tightly and could only swallow his tears.
...
Cao Ling of Zhaoyang Palace panicked, hugged her son Liu Rui tightly, and then shouted away all the serving maids and eunuchs. She was afraid, she was afraid of this damn smallpox.
For her now, no one can get close to their mother and son.
Everyone is in danger to her now.
...
Lanlin Hall.
When Wang Yuanji learned that Zhang Yuan had died of illness, she fainted on the spot.
A palace maid hurriedly ran out to ask for the imperial doctor.
The other two palace maids,
Then he takes care of the prince Liu Yan.
Liu Yan saw her mother fainted,
I was so scared that I kept crying.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
"Wake up!"
"Wake up,
Mother!"
While taking care of Wang Yuanji, the palace maid comforted Liu Yan: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the imperial doctor will be here soon. Your Majesty will be fine."
"..."
Because of Zhang Yuan's death, the entire Weiyang Palace harem was in chaos and wailing, and the imperial doctors were also very busy.
As soon as the two imperial doctors of Jiaofang Palace left the Queen's palace, they quickly forgot about the emperor's plan to beat them to death, because the palace maids and eunuchs were all waiting for them to be vaccinated with cowpox.
Smallpox can kill people. Even if you are a queen, you can't resist smallpox, let alone the maids and eunuchs like them?
The same goes for other palaces. The imperial doctors from the imperial hospital are distributed throughout the Weiyang Palace, and they are still somewhat stretched.
There are more than 2,000 people in the harem, and thousands more in the front palace area.
Afraid of death——
At this moment, it seems that he is completely separated from the person who had a little doubt about cowpox before.
At this moment, I regard this as a life-saving straw.
Because the emperor said that after vaccination with cowpox, they would not be infected with smallpox.
...
Jiaofang Hall——
Liu Chan has been sitting in front of the bed, even though Zhang Yuan has no trace of body temperature, his body is already a little cold.
He remains sitting.
It wasn't until the next morning that he fainted due to excessive sadness and lack of physical strength. Then, under the service of the palace maids and eunuchs, he went to the side hall to rest.
While the emperor was sleeping, Empress Dowager Mu arranged for Zhang Yuan to be placed in the coffin.
...
Liu Chan slept for a day and a night. When he woke up again, it was already June 23, the seventeenth year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty (AD 239).
This whole day and night, he had a long dream.
In his dream, he saw Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan talked to him a lot. She didn't want Liu Chan to be sad. She reminded Liu Chan that as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, there were still many things waiting for him to do.
And she just went to see the late emperor and her father in advance.
Her only wish is that Liu Chan will raise their children well and make them useful to the big man.
Finally, Liu Chan was reminded not to vent his anger on his servants or courtiers because of her.
"Zitong!"
"I've written it down."
Liu Chan sat up slowly, looked up to the sky and murmured to himself. He felt that Zhang Yuan could definitely hear what he said, but after saying this, he still felt very uncomfortable.
He has become accustomed to having Zhang Yuan around him.
Now she is gone, gone forever.
After staying in the room for a long time, Liu Chan walked out of the palace and went to Zhang Yuan's mourning hall. He looked at the cold coffin, but he did not dare to approach it.
"Father!"
Gu Chuan
When Liu Chen and Liu Rongyue saw Liu Chan, they cried for their father, causing Liu Chan's heart to ache again.
Several other princes and princesses were also crying.
According to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, when the queen dies, the princes and princesses in Beijing also have to keep vigil for the queen. However, these princes and princesses of Liu Chan are still very young now. The eldest is the eldest princess Liu Rongyue, who is only ten years old. Liu Yuan, the third princess of China, is only two years old now.
Liu Yuan is the youngest, so she doesn’t have to stay at the funeral, as long as she feels free to do so.
However, she was born to Zhang Yuan, so Zhang Yuan was her biological aunt, and Zhang Yuan brought Liu Yuan to keep her sister's wake.
Others, such as Cao Ling, also brought Liu Rui to keep vigil here.
Now only Wang Yuanji and Nuo Qi are left. They have had smallpox and will not be infected again. Now there are many things in the harem that need to be dealt with.
However, even though he was busy dealing with the harem, the third prince Liu Yan insisted on keeping vigil for the queen in the mourning hall with the service of the palace maids.
Hearing the cries of Liu Chen and Liu Rongyue, Liu Chan felt uncomfortable. He wanted to hug the siblings, but he couldn't.
Although they are all wearing special protective clothing, Liu Chan is still worried that the smallpox epidemic is too terrible and has already taken away his Zhang Yuan. He does not want to lose any more children.
Because he has been staying by Zhang Yuan's side, he has never had smallpox before, not in his previous life, nor in this life. If he is so close to Zhang Yuan every day, he has probably become infected.

He could not harm his princes. He could only look at the princes and fell into deep thought, constantly recalling everything he had with Zhang Yuan in the past ten years.
He blamed himself very much. When he came to this world, he knew Zhang Yuan's life trajectory. Zhang Yuan in history also died in his thirties. She now only lived two years longer than before.
Liu Chan originally thought that because of his arrival, Zhang Yuan might live a long life.
Just——
This wish was not realized, and Zhang Yuan still left, leaving him a pair of children.
While Liu Chan was deep in thought, a eunuch slowly walked into the mourning hall. He wanted to greet the emperor, but he saw that the emperor was in a daze. He did not dare to speak, but his brows were furrowed tightly.
I don’t know how long it took before Liu Chan came back to his senses and saw the nervous eunuch.
"What's the matter?" Liu Chan asked.
The eunuch bowed and saluted, and then said: "The Prime Minister is here."
"Prime Minister?" Liu Chan was stunned for a moment.
He slept for a day and a night, thinking that the Prime Minister should also be busy preventing the epidemic, and the epidemic in Chang'an was also very serious now. Zhuge Liang had told him before when he sent epidemic prevention supplies.
Although the queen died of illness, there is currently a pandemic. As the prime minister, he is naturally busy dealing with the epidemic first. How could he enter the palace again?
Arrange the Queen's funeral?
Wrong——
On the day Zhang Yuan passed away, Liu Chan was in the palace and heard the conversation between the Prime Minister and the Queen Mother in the flower hall next door. They felt that the epidemic was serious now, and the Queen was still young, only in her thirties, so they had not yet prepared a mausoleum.<
/p>
According to the wishes of Empress Dowager Mu and the Prime Minister, the Queen's funeral has to be a little slow, but the Prime Minister will immediately arrange for someone to prepare the Queen's mausoleum.
Could it be that the location of the mausoleum has been chosen and the prime minister is here to report.
At this time, Liu Chan was just sad and his mind had calmed down, so he looked around at the princes and princesses, and finally reminded Zhang Yang and Cao Ling to take good care of the princes and princesses before following the eunuch to the front yard.
Main hall in the front yard of Jiaofang Hall.
Zhuge Liang had a solemn look on his face, and when he saw Liu Chan slowly coming in, he saluted.
"No gift for the bride-to-be!"
After Liu Chan finished speaking, he sat down at the main seat.
"Your Majesty!"
After Zhuge Liang thanked him for the gift, his face was still heavy and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Your Majesty!"
"I shouldn't bother Your Majesty at this time..." Zhuge Liang's tone seemed a little heavy, which made Liu Chan panic.
Zhuge Liang paused for a moment, and finally said: "The incident happened suddenly, and I have to come and report to Your Majesty."
Panic——
Liu Chan was particularly panicked.
Even a fool can tell that something is wrong, and I'm afraid something big will happen.
After all, the Han Dynasty is now suffering from the smallpox epidemic, and anything serious is possible. Liu Chan's first reaction was naturally that the epidemic in Chang'an had expanded, or spread wider.
"Father, please speak!" Liu Chan said solemnly.
"Old General Zhao...."
As soon as Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, Liu Chan was stunned.
"Just last night..." Zhuge Liang said seriously: "The old general... passed away."
As soon as Zhuge Liang said these words, the tea cup Liu Chan had just picked up suddenly fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
Zhao Yun also left.
"Teacher is also infected with smallpox?" Liu Chan asked in panic.
Now that smallpox is raging in Chang'an, Zhao Yun suddenly passed away. Could it be that he was also infected with smallpox?
"No!" Zhuge Liang shook his head when he heard this and said: "The old general was not infected with smallpox and passed away peacefully."
Huh——
Although Liu Chan was shocked and sad to learn that Zhao Yun passed away, after all, Zhao Yun was his idol in his previous life and his teacher in this life.
However, Zhao Yun is now old and is seventy-five years old this year.
Everyone will die, and Zhao Yun is no exception. Because of the Tai Chi taught by Liu Chan, Zhao Yun lived to be seventy-five, although for Liu Chan, he hoped that Zhao Yun could live to be more than a hundred years old.
However, human lifespan cannot be controlled by humans.
But fortunately, at least the old general passed away peacefully.
It was not because he contracted smallpox, which made Liu Chan feel better. He was silent for a moment and then said: "The old general is my teacher. Now I can't leave Weiyang Palace because of the epidemic. I have asked my father-in-law to do the funeral for my teacher."
”
"Old minister, I obey the order!" Zhuge Liang responded.
"The old general has made many meritorious deeds for our great man throughout his life in the army;" Liu Chan paused and then said: "Please give me a royal burial for my teacher."
This time the old general passed away, Liu Chan couldn't leave Weiyang Palace to see the old general for the last time because he didn't know whether he had been infected with smallpox, so he could only make up for his regret with a generous burial.
It’s just the courtesy of a prince——
Zhuge Liang was a little surprised.
