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

Imperial Physician Yuan reported back, "Her Majesty, the Empress is indeed pregnant and has been pregnant for nearly two months."

The Queen Mother was so excited that she quickly walked up to Zheng Xiyan, held her hands, and said with joy: "This is such a great joyous event. Queen, you are such a lucky star!"

Zheng Xiyan lowered her eyes and smiled, "Mother, you are too kind. I cannot take it for granted."

"Great, great."

Xiao Xuanchen had a solemn expression and looked coldly at Doctor Yuan. Doctor Yuan looked innocent, and he didn't know what was going on.

In order to avoid being noticed, Xiao Xuanchen quickly softened his expression and put on a smile.

But Zheng Xiyan still captured Xiao Xuanchen's wonderful expression.

Zheng Xiyan's expression was slightly restrained, and her eyes dimmed a little, but then they brightened up again.

"The Queen is pregnant, which is a great joy. I will soon have a legitimate son, which is an auspicious sign from heaven." Xiao Xuanchen's eyes darkened and he said with a smile.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. I will have a grandson."

"Congratulations, mother."

Those concubines were simply left aside and could only watch with envy.

Zheng Xiyan raised her head with a smug look on her face. She no longer cared what Xiao Xuanchen was thinking. She would definitely give birth to this child safely.

Zheng Xiyan blinked her eyelashes to hide the coldness that flashed across her eyes. She looked calm and smiled slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant and will not be able to serve you for a long time. Today, I have selected fifteen beauties from the palace. Why not let them enter the palace as soon as possible so that they can serve you."

Xiao Xuanchen could not find any fault with Zheng Xiyan's words. If this matter were to be spread out, people would only praise the queen for her magnanimity.

The Queen Mother was pleased and said with a smile: "The Queen is virtuous and generous. She is really a blessing to our country. Your Majesty, since the Queen has said so, let's pick a good day and let these beautiful girls enter the palace as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty Mother is right. I will order someone to do it." Xiao Xuanchen responded in a deep voice. It was normal for her to do so, but why did he feel uncomfortable?

"Your Majesty, please accompany the Queen back to Weiyang Palace and let her have a good rest. The first three months are the most important. Child, didn't you realize that you were pregnant?" The Queen Mother said with a slight accusation, but she was not really blaming her.

Zheng Xiyan said innocently, "Mother, this is my first time getting pregnant too. I don't know anything!"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "That's true. It's not your fault. Go back to Weiyang Palace immediately! I will take care of the matter of Hanguang Palace."

"Yes!"

Biluo helped Zheng Xiyan up. Zheng Xiyan was about to kneel down to salute, but the Queen Mother stopped her and said, "Don't be so polite. Pregnant women are the most delicate. You don't need to salute in the future."

"Thank you, mother." Zheng Xiyan said softly.

The Queen Mother gave Xiao Xuanchen a look, and Xiao Xuanchen walked to Zheng Xiyan's side, "Queen, I will send you back to Weiyang Palace."

"Concubine, thank you Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, your servants respectfully bid farewell to Her Majesty and Her Majesty the Queen." The ladies standing there watched His Majesty and the Queen leave with envy on their faces.

After leaving Hanguang Palace, Zheng Xiyan got on the phoenix carriage, and Xiao Xuanchen reminded her, "Be careful."

"Yes!"

In Hanguang Palace, the Queen Mother sat on the Phoenix Throne and said, "The Queen is pregnant, and the whole world is celebrating. You will enter the palace soon. Once you enter the palace, you must serve His Majesty wholeheartedly and share the Queen's worries."

"Your servant will remember the Queen Mother's teachings."

"Okay, send them out of the palace!" The Queen Mother gave them some casual instructions and then let them leave the palace.

"The slave obeys."

On the way back to Weiyang Palace, Xiao Xuanchen's imperial sedan chair was in front. He had a solemn expression on his face and kept fiddling with the jade ring on his hand. He still couldn't accept the fact that Zheng Xiyan was pregnant.

How could she get pregnant? What went wrong?

Did she not drink the tonic soup? Why didn't she drink it? Did she know that the tonic soup was problematic? That's wrong! How could she know that the soup was problematic?

When they arrived at Weiyang Palace, Xiao Xuanchen stepped down from the imperial chariot. Biluo helped Zheng Xiyan down. Zheng Xiyan walked up to Xiao Xuanchen and asked knowingly, "I'm pregnant, why do you think Your Majesty doesn't look happy?"

"No, of course I'm happy. This is my first child." Xiao Xuanchen put his arms around her waist and explained quickly.

"Really?" Zheng Xiyan looked at him seriously.

Xiao Xuanchen felt a little guilty when she looked at him, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you have been refusing to sleep with me, and you pushed me away several times, saying that you had your period a while ago, but why did the imperial physician say that you have been pregnant for nearly two months?"

Zheng Xiyan had already prepared an excuse, "I don't know either. I just felt unwell at the time, and the symptoms were very similar to my menstrual period, so I thought it was my period."

Zheng Xiyan looked innocent when she said this. It was Zirui and Ziluo who told her that some pregnant women would experience bleeding symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy, but it was not a big deal.

Xiao Xuanchen didn't ask too much and guessed it might be because of the contraceptive soup.

Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Your Majesty, are you doubting me about something?"

"No, why would I doubt you? You are pregnant now, I can't be more happy." Xiao Xuanchen looked at her with deep affection.

Zheng Xiyan nestled in his arms like a little bird, sneering, and whispered: "I feel it's so magical, I'm pregnant with your Majesty's child, your Majesty's child."

"Yes!" This was his first child, and he was still happy in his heart. Even though the child came somewhat unexpectedly, he was still happy.

But the arrival of this child put him in a difficult situation.

"Your Majesty, during today's palace selection, I have chosen the four that Your Majesty wants. The next step is to determine their positions and the palaces they will live in."

Xiao Xuanchen said absentmindedly: "You should discuss this with my mother. I will not interfere."

"It would be fine for others, but the status of the girls from the Murong, Feng, Xi and Shen families cannot be too low. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Zheng Xiyan raised her head and looked at him calmly.

Xiao Xuanchen thought for a moment and said in a cold voice: "The status of the four of them cannot be too low. How about this! Murong and Feng will be directly named concubines, Xi will be named Zhaoyi, and Shen will be named Zhaorong. What do you think, Queen?"

"Okay! I have no objection." This is no different from the previous life. In the end, these four will be ranked among the four concubines anyway.

"That's settled then. You can discuss the rest with the Queen Mother."

"I obey my orders."

Zheng Xiyan hooked her arms around his neck and acted coquettishly towards him, "Your Majesty, I feel so happy now! Your Majesty is by my side, and I am pregnant with your child. I am truly the happiest woman in the world."

When Xiao Xuanchen heard this, his expression froze slightly. He looked down at her, feeling a little moved.

But this feeling of being moved did not last long.

Xiao Xuanchen closed his eyes, his expression complicated and unclear. After a moment, his gloomy side flashed again.

Xiao Xuanchen stayed in Weiyang Palace for a while and then returned to Zichen Hall.

After he left, Zheng Xiyan rolled her eyes in disdain.

Biluo helped her sit down and said, "My lady, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine."

"From now on, except for the meals sent by you guys, no matter who sends them, they will be checked again and again, including those sent by His Majesty." Zheng Xiyan said seriously.

"The servant understands."

Princess Shion

As soon as Xiao Xuanchen returned to the Zichen Palace, he summoned Imperial Physician Yuan, under the pretext of inquiring about the Queen's health, but in fact he was calling him to question her.

Doctor Yuan knelt before him with a guilty look on his face, "Your Majesty!"

"What is going on? How could the Queen be pregnant? Tell me the truth." Xiao Xuanchen suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Your Majesty! Please forgive me for being so blunt. This contraceptive soup is only 70% to 80% effective and cannot completely cause women to be infertile. This is just an accident." Imperial Doctor Yuan knelt on the ground, his body trembling.

"Accident? How is the queen's health? She drank so much contraceptive soup, so the child will be fine?" Xiao Xuanchen now hoped that Zheng Xiyan was unable to keep the child due to her health condition, so he would not have to do anything.

This is what made Doctor Yuan feel strange. The queen was fine and the baby was healthy. It didn't look like she had drunk contraceptive soup at all...

"I think the Queen must have taken pregnancy-maintaining medicine."

Xiao Xuanchen looked unhappy and asked in a cold voice, "Pregnancy-maintaining medicine? Have you ever prescribed pregnancy-maintaining medicine for the queen?"

"Your Majesty, I don't have it. This medicine should not come from the Imperial Hospital. But it is not impossible that it was obtained from outside the palace as a pregnancy-preserving medicine." Imperial Doctor Yuan knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.

Xiao Xuanchen believed it for the time being. There was nothing he could do if he didn't believe it because the facts were right in front of him.

Her pregnancy was indeed an accident.
