The Emperor turned his gaze towards Gu Chengyu. Seeing Gu Chengyu nodding at him, he finally felt at ease.
He took one last look at the entrance of the hall, and his vision gradually blurred.
"Your Majesty?" The Empress noticed something was wrong with the Emperor and immediately rushed over.
The Crown Prince panicked, "Imperial Physician, quickly come in."
The Imperial Physicians and doctors, who were worried and looking at each other in the side hall, shivered when they heard the Crown Prince calling out.
They exchanged glances, seeing shock and unease in each other's eyes.
The Emperor slowly closed his eyes, and his chest ceased rising and falling.
Gu Chengyu knelt down on the ground, his face full of grief.
"Your Majesty?" De'an stepped forward and called out, but there was no response from the Emperor.
Then he tremulously placed his index finger under the Emperor's nostrils, "Ah!"
"The, the Emperor, Empress?" He shook as he looked at the Empress.
