The light in the hall became dimmer and darker, and the sunlight at the entrance of the hall also shifted little by little. Finally, until it disappeared completely, the palace maids wearing gauze skirts also began to light candles in the hall. However, the light in the hall was still very dark. Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were each sitting aside thinking about their thoughts, while Miao Yuan looked worried, looking at Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen from time to time, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

"The Empress Dowager is awake!" At this moment, Luo Chongxun suddenly rushed over and shouted with surprise. This shocked everyone in the hall and stood up immediately.

"Can you see the eldest lady now?" Miao Yuan was the first to ask.

"It's not possible yet. The empress dowager just woke up and is still very weak now, but the empress dowager will definitely give some instructions later." Luo Chongxun shook his head immediately. He was also worried that Liu E would not wake up. Fortunately, he finally woke up now. Although he was still very weak, it also relieved him a lot.

Li Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Then Luo Chongxun quickly stepped in and waited for about half an hour. Luo Chongxun walked out with a sad face and said, "Empress, please come in with Your Majesty and Li Duwei, and also send an order to invite Lu Xiang and others to come to the palace to discuss matters!"

When Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen heard what Luo Chongxun later, their faces turned pale, because unless it was time to die, Liu E would not invite Lu Yijian and others to the palace. In other words, Liu E would invite Lu Yijian and others to the palace at this time, and it is very likely that she would have to explain her last words.

Thinking of the above, the joy of Liu E waking up just now also dissipated, and the atmosphere in the hall became heavy again. Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen looked at each other, and then the two walked silently to the inner hall. When they entered the room, they saw Liu E, who had become thinner and bones, lying weakly on the bed, with no blood on her face. If she were not a very familiar person, she would probably not recognize her as the Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty who was the mother of the world.

"Empress!" Zhao Zhen finally couldn't help but shed tears at this time and quickly stepped forward to grab Liu E's hand. Although he had hatred in his heart, he had been mother and son with Liu E for so many years. Seeing Liu E at the critical moment, he temporarily let go of the hatred in his heart.

Hearing Zhao Zhen called himself the eldest lady again, Liu E on the hospital bed also showed a happier smile. Then she hesitated for a moment before speaking softly: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. The Ai family's health may not be able to do it anymore. You will never be able to share the government affairs for you in the future. The burden of the thousands of miles of land will be carried by you alone!"

"Empress, I..." Zhao Zhen also shed tears when he heard this. He was sobbing that he couldn't speak out as soon as he opened his mouth. He was a person who valued feelings. Even though Liu E had done many things that had done to him, he still could not blame Liu E at this time. After all, no matter how, Liu E was still the one who raised him.

Facing the sad Zhao Zhen, Liu E smiled very calmly, then waved to Li Zhang, so Li Zhang immediately stepped forward, and then Liu E raised her hand and grabbed Li Zhang, then put his hands together and Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, I know you and Zhang'er have had some misunderstandings, and Zhang'er didn't tell you some things, but after I leave, you will understand that Zhang'er is one of the people in this world who cares about you the most, and for this he even angered me many times..."

"Empress, don't talk about the past. If you rest assured, you will definitely get better slowly!" Before Liu E finished speaking, Li Zhang interrupted her with a slightly red eyes.

"No, let me finish my words!" Liu E took a breath and insisted. After saying that, she turned her head to look at Zhao Zhen again and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang'er is knowledgeable and talented, and has outstanding abilities. He has made great contributions many times, but the Ai family does not have much reward, in order to leave him for you. With him to assist you in the future, the Ai family can leave with confidence."

"The eldest lady has done all her hard work, and everyone understands it!" Zhao Zhen said with tears again. When he said this, his mind flashed through his mind with Liu E when he was a child, and the teachings Liu E had given him over the years, which made him even more sad.

After reminding Zhao Zhen, Liu E also turned to Li Zhang at this time, and after breathing heavily, she accumulated some strength and said, "Zhang'er, you grew up with Your Majesty, and your relationship is the deepest. You also know his character. Sometimes it is too kind, which is not a good thing for an emperor, so I would like to remind you more in the future!"

"Don't worry, my Majesty is a kind king. This is not a shortcoming, but a blessing for the people of the Song Dynasty." Li Zhang said in great pain at the moment. Liu E is obviously explaining the funeral afterwards. Although he had a premonition before, he was still a little unacceptable when this matter came.

Liu E smiled when she heard Li Zhang's words and wanted to say something, but because she had consumed too much energy before, she was unable to speak again for a while. This made Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen hurriedly persuade her to take a rest. At this time, the imperial doctor also sent her medicine, and Zhao Zhen personally fed Liu E to take it. However, Liu E seemed to have difficulty swallowing, and most of the bowl of medicine was vomited outside.

After Liu E took the medicine, Lu Yijian and others rushed here. Liu E seemed to be complacent again and made arrangements for some things in the court, and even did not even shy away from her own funeral. She asked herself to be buried with Emperor Zhenzong after her death. Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement.

After explaining the funeral, Liu E's spirit was worse. Sometimes she had to pause for a while, and the light in her eyes became darker and darker. Everyone knew that Liu E was on her dying occasion and could leave at any time. Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang were also becoming more and more sad, especially Zhao Zhen was lying on Liu E's bed and cried bitterly.

But at this moment, Liu E suddenly opened her eyes wide again, reached out to grab Zhao Zhen's hand and asked again: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty Don't cry. Do you think that after the Ai family dies, how will future generations evaluate the Ai family?"

Zhao Zhen stopped his sad voice at this time, but when he heard Liu E's question, he didn't know how to answer it. He could only wipe his tears and look at Li Zhang, Lu Yijian and others. However, Lu Yijian and other ministers showed a difficult face. Liu E had made contributions and of course she had done a lot of wrong things. Moreover, her life was too exciting, and it was not easy to evaluate her.

"The legend of the eldest lady's life. If I really want to evaluate the eldest lady, I have ten words here!" Li Zhang hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.

"Where...that ten words!" Liu E pointed at Li Zhang and asked anxiously. She had not had much time left, and she could even feel the rapid passing of life, and she was about to reach the end of her life.

"Have the talent of Lu Wu!"

Li Zhang had the first five words, and everyone's face changed. Although many people in private compared Liu E to Empress Lu and Empress Wu, they never dared to say it in front of Liu E. After all, the reputation of these two women is not very good. Even Liu E couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard Li Zhang's words.

"Not the evil of Lu Wu!" Li Zhang then continued to speak the remaining five words, which made everyone feel relieved. Although Lu Zhi and Wu Zhao had bad reputations, no one dared to deny the talents of these two women, otherwise they would not have been in charge of a huge empire alone.

"With Lu Wu's talent, but not as evil as Lu Wu! Good! Good... Cough cough~" Liu E also showed a relaxed smile at this time, and repeated these two sentences. However, at the end, it brought out a violent cough. Zhao Zhen also hurriedly stepped forward to pat her back, but Liu E's coughed harder and became more and more severe. Finally, her eyes suddenly turned and she fainted again.

"Imperial Doctor! Hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor!" Zhao Zhen shouted anxiously, and Li Zhang and others were also anxious. Fortunately, the imperial doctor was here, and several imperial doctors came to treat Liu E immediately, but these imperial doctors were frowning. They could treat ordinary difficult and complicated diseases, but in the case of Liu E, it was already at its dying moment. God was not able to take his life to the point of taking his life.

Looking at Liu E who was in a coma again, Li Zhang next to him also sighed. Although he gave Liu E two comments, many people in later generations said that these two comments were the best evaluation of Liu E in his life, but Li Zhang knew that Liu E was not without Lu Wu's evil. After all, whether it was "The Picture of Empress Wu's Reign to the Dynasty" or Liu E's trip to the Taimiao, they actually showed that Liu E was ambitious, but she did not take action in the end. This was also related to her life span. If Liu E was given several years, it would be difficult to predict in the future.

Li Zhang, Zhao Zhen and others stayed here for a whole night. Liu E woke up once, but at this time she could no longer speak, but she was still very awake, and even pulled Zhao Zhen's clothes and pointed at herself, and then fell into a coma again.

After this coma, Liu E never woke up again. In the early morning of the next day, the once powerful empress dowager finally finished her life. When the imperial physician announced Liu E's death, Zhao Zhen also cried into tears, and Li Zhang couldn't help crying.

However, after Zhao Zhen cried bitterly, Lu Yijian immediately stepped forward to persuade Zhao Zhen to put Liu E's funeral first. Zhao Zhen wiped his tears and said, "When the eldest lady woke up the last time, she seemed to have something to say, but she just pointed at herself and couldn't say it. I wonder what the eldest lady meant?"

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Lu Yijian and others remained silent, but in the end, the Third Session envoy Xue Kui stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I saw that the Empress Dowager kept holding His Majesty's clothes when he woke up, and pointed to his own clothes. This made me find that the Empress Dowager was still wearing a robe. I think the Empress Dowager should want to ask Your Majesty to remove her robe, otherwise how can I meet the ancestors of the Song Dynasty?"

However, just as Xue Kui finished speaking, Li Zhang suddenly stood up and shouted: "Xue Jixiang's words are wrong. I think the Empress Dowager's meaning is just the opposite!"
