After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Biluo understood immediately, "Your Majesty is right. I understand. I will send someone to keep a close eye on Yong'an Palace."

"Yeah." Zheng Xiyan nodded slightly.

Not long after one day at noon, Zheng Xiyan took her son for a nap after lunch.

The mother and son were sleeping soundly, but Biluo slowly walked in and whispered in her ear: "My queen, wake up!"

Zheng Xiyan was woken up, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, and she said in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Biluo whispered, "Xi Zhaoyi is about to give birth."

Zheng Xiyan opened her eyes the next second, sat up calmly, glanced at Ji'er beside her, covered him with the quilt, and then got out of bed carefully.

Biluo helped her walk towards the dressing table. Zheng Xiyan whispered, "Have you sent someone to inform His Majesty and the Queen Mother?"

"Someone has been sent." Biluo whispered.

Zheng Xiyan held Biluo's hand and lowered her voice, "Is everything arranged at Yong'an Palace?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have sent people to keep an eye on her. Yesterday, the maidservant beside Concubine Xi brought in a nanny from outside, saying that she was a midwife invited from outside, but when she came in, the woman in her arms..." Biluo replied in a low voice.

"Let's go and take a look." Zheng Xiyan rubbed his eyebrows.

"Yes!"

Shuang Ning came in carrying a basin of hot water. The two of them were not as agile as before, but rather slowed down, as they also wanted to arrive at Yong'an Palace later.

After dressing up, Zheng Xiyan left Weiyang Palace, sat on Fengyu, and said, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Shoukang Palace

The Empress Dowager was also taking a nap. When she was disturbed, her face looked very ugly. "Empress Dowager, Concubine Xi is about to give birth. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"I won't go there. The Queen is here, so I don't have to worry about anything." The Queen Mother's voice was low and her face looked very bad.

"Yes!"

The Queen Mother then lay down and continued to sleep.

Princess Shion

The eunuch in front of the emperor hurried in, knelt before him, and said, "Your Majesty! Concubine Zhaoyi is about to give birth."

Xiao Xuanchen was reviewing memorials, and when he heard this, he stopped.

At this moment, Concubine Zhao was in the Zichen Palace, standing aside grinding ink. When she heard the news that Concubine Xi was about to give birth, she subconsciously looked at him, but there was no sign of worry on his face, not even a trace of joy and expectation.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Do you want to go to Yong'an Palace to take a look?" Zhao Cairen asked carefully.

Xiao Xuanchen hesitated for a moment and said, "I will not go there. You go to Yong'an Palace and inform the Queen. She will make the final decision and ensure that Concubine Xi has a smooth delivery."

Zhao Cairen and the eunuch both thought they had heard wrongly. Why didn't His Majesty go over to take a look?

"I obey your order." Although the eunuch in front of the emperor was confused, he could only obey the emperor's order.

After the eunuch left, Lady Zhao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! Empress Zhaoyi is giving birth, and I should go to visit her. I will take my leave now."

Xiao Xuanchen nodded gently and said, "Go!"

"I'm taking my leave." Lady Zhao bowed and left.

When Lady Zhao left the Purple Palace, the maid walked over and asked in a low voice, "Lady Zhao, why did the eunuch leave in such a hurry just now? What happened?"

"Xi Zhaoyi is about to give birth, let's go and take a look!" Zhao Cairen said calmly.

"No wonder! But His Majesty doesn't go to Yong'an Palace?" The palace maid was puzzled. His Majesty didn't go when Concubine Xi gave birth?

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. Everything will be decided by the Empress." Concubine Zhao looked unhappy. This was the first time she felt the indifference of His Majesty.

"Ah..." The maid had heard that when the Empress and Consort Xian gave birth, His Majesty watched over them the entire time, but when it came to Concubine Xi...

"Okay, be careful with your mouth and don't talk too much." Zhao Cairen said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I know my mistake."

Yong'an Palace

Shen Aoning was waiting outside the bedroom. Several concubines had already arrived here in advance.

In the bedroom, Xi Muyao was in excruciating pain. The midwife comforted her, "Mrs. Zhaoyi, don't be afraid. All women have to go through this. Don't be afraid."

When Shen Aoning heard the voice, she stroked her belly and became even more panicked.

"The Queen is here!"

Zheng Xiyan walked in and saw Shen Chongyuan and Li Meiren had already arrived.

Everyone stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, the Queen."

When Shen Aoning was about to stand up, Zheng Xiyan took the initiative and said in a deep voice: "You are pregnant, so don't be so polite."

"Thank you, Her Majesty." Shen Aoning replied with a frown.

At this moment, a cry came from the bedroom, "Wa wah wah ~"

When Zheng Xiyan heard the crying, she smiled and said, "Xi Zhaoyi gave birth quickly. Judging from the crying, it must be a healthy child."

Even though Shen Aoning was trying her best to hide her nervousness, she still couldn't conceal it, and the evasion in her eyes could not be hidden after all.

Zheng Xiyan's eyes fell on Shen Aoning, and she said deliberately, "Shen Zhaorong and Xi Zhaoyi have always been good friends, why don't you look happy?"

Shen Aoning was stunned for a moment, then reacted in an instant and said angrily, "Of course I'm happy, of course I'm happy, I'm so happy that I'm stupid."

Shen Chongyuan sneered, "Is Empress Zhaorong happy? Why do I look so nervous?"

Shen Aoning continued to remain calm and said, "I just heard how much pain my sister was in, how much pain she was in. When I thought about the pain of childbirth that I would have to endure soon, I was just a little nervous."

This is indeed a reason, and some people would actually believe it, but Zheng Xiyan would not believe it.

After a while, the midwife came out holding the child, "Congratulations to the Queen, the Concubine Zhaoyi has given birth to a little prince."

Zheng Xiyan looked calm and said with a smile, "This is really great news. Someone, go tell His Majesty that Concubine Xi has given birth to the third prince."

"Yes." Biluo responded quickly and gave a look to the palace servant beside him.

Shen Aoning stood aside, extremely nervous, fearing that someone would notice something.

Another midwife rushed out and said hurriedly, "Empress, Concubine Zhaoyi is pregnant with another baby."

These words made everyone present, except Zheng Xiyan and Shen Aoning, look incredulous.

Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly. She thought Xi Muyao wanted to steal a boy and a girl, but she didn't expect it to be twins? She was really brave.

"There's another one?" Zheng Xiyan asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The midwife avoided his gaze and lowered her head.

"Then what are you still standing there for? Continue to deliver Xi Zhaoyi's baby." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes Yes!"

The handkerchief in Shen Aoning's hand was about to be crushed to pieces. She stood there, extremely nervous.

The midwife was holding the child and was at a loss for a moment. Zheng Xiyan then said, "Give the child to me, and you go in quickly!" As she said that, Zheng Xiyan reached out to hold Xi Muyao's child.

"Yes!"
