The illness of the emperor became worse. Inquiring after his son, the emperor asked Genji to be good to his son and continue the guardianship of his son just as until now. He left his estate to the crown prince and Genji. At the beginning of November, the emperor died peacefully. For Fujitsubo and Genji, it was a greater pain than anybody else. Ladies assembled at the deceased sovereign's palace and performed the service of the forty-ninth day.
