The empress wanted to smile, but she didn't have the strength. She wanted to lie down.
The emperor saw and personally helped her. After the empress lay down and collected herself for a moment, she said, "The things I left for the children are in the box."
The emperor said, "I will give them to them."
The empress was having trouble breathing but still tried hard to lift her head to glance at her children, her eyes full of reluctance. Finally, her gaze settled on the emperor's face. Using all her strength, she finally smiled, then slowly closed her eyes.
She quietly felt the approach of death, hearing her children's cries by her ears. She didn't say to the emperor that she would marry him again in the next life. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but because the emperor not regretting in this life didn't mean he would be willing to marry her in the next.
