The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2411 - 2413: Last Will and Testament

"All heartless bastards, none of them think to come and see me." Growing old, yet leaving him alone in the imperial city, so lonely.

"Emperor... you should rest now..."

"Push, push, push, here you go again pushing me." Baili Yan waved his hand, "How many days can you push?"

His words made the eunuch’s face change dramatically.

"Go, get me some of Funan’s drunken crab."

"Emperor, that is cold and damp..."

Baili Yan shot him an impatient glare, "If I tell you to go, then go; linger here any longer and I’ll chop off your head."

"Yes, yes, the servant will go right away."

Seeing the little eunuch leave, he felt more at ease. Every day, it’s ’this is not allowed, that can’t be done,’ really annoying.

Casually, he picked up a report—it’s a memorandum about the snowstorm in the north causing a snow disaster.

"Bastards... absolute bastards..." With just a glance, Baili Yan was furious.

The snow disaster in the north has crushed countless houses, yet local officials took the opportunity to embezzle the disaster relief funds. These people truly deserve to be killed; their entire clans should be exterminated!!

"Emperor..." The eunuch came carrying the food box containing the drunken crab, only to see the Emperor spit out a mouthful of blood as soon as he entered the room, collapsing onto the imperial desk.

"Emperor, someone come, hurry, someone!!"

The Empress, Mu Niancheng, and others had been staying in the side hall these days; hearing the little eunuch’s voice, they entered at the first instance.

Hurriedly moving him to the couch, Mu Niancheng felt his pulse, knowing his time had come.

"Go, summon the Crown Prince, imperial princes, clan chief, and ministers! Be quick!!" After saying this, Baili Yan was barely breathing.

Yet he tightly grasped Mu Niancheng’s arm. Mu Niancheng understood his intention; he feared he might not hold on long enough to finish his words.

"Emperor, rest assured!" Comfortingly patting Baili Yan’s hand, he would do his utmost to let him manage to finish arranging his affairs.

"Mother Empress!" The Crown Prince and Second Prince arrived first.

"Go in and see your Father Emperor."

At this time, the Empress had remained outside. This was the sorrow of the imperial family; as the Emperor lay dying, whoever was present from the imperial family would bear the brunt if things changed afterward.

When the Crown Prince and Second Prince entered, only Mu Niancheng was there.

Baili Yan raised his eyelids, summoning the two close.

"Father Emperor!"

"Father Emperor!"

"Life and death are destined, do not be sorrowful..." After a good while, Baili Yan continued, "Eldest, I only ask one thing, if I hand Great Zhou to you, can you keep it well?"

His Highness Crown Prince, at this moment, unexpectedly felt flustered facing Baili Yan’s gaze. He feared. He feared he couldn’t uphold it. He wasn’t the smartest among the princes, nor the most capable; hence he was afraid!

But ultimately, he straightened his back, saying, "Your son can safeguard Great Zhou, ensuring the nation prospers and its people are at peace!"

"Good, good, good!"

"Second, assist your imperial brother well!" After bypassing His Highness Crown Prince, his gaze fell on Second Prince.

This child was quite mischievous in his youth, but as he grew, he became increasingly wise; there was no denying State Duke Tong taught him well. But he couldn’t be Emperor because the Tong family’s hearts aren’t pure.

"Yes, Father Emperor, your son will certainly assist the imperial brother well."

"Good, I trust you!"

"Eldest!" Baili Yan’s gaze returned to the Eldest Imperial Prince, "To be a ruler, one must avoid arrogance and self-righteousness, as well as biased listening and believing..."

Soon, the ministers arrived, along with the clan chief, and other princes.

"Father Emperor..."

The Third Prince, and Fourth Prince, upon hearing the Emperor was on his last leg, rushed forward to Baili Yan but were intercepted by Mu Niancheng, stepping ahead, "Kneel down, listen to the instruction!"
