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

Chapter 147 He is His Majesty's son, not my son

"Why doesn't it matter? Without her, Your Majesty might even look at me a few more times." Concubine Li said with hatred in her eyes.

Wen Jieyu frowned slightly and shook her head, thinking that she was really hopeless. "After all, it's just your own incompetence."

Lady Li looked down on her aloof appearance and snorted coldly, "Sister Wen, since you have entered the palace, you must fight for favor. Otherwise, what are you doing in the palace?"

"Jieyi took His Majesty away from you. This was your first time getting angry in the palace. Why do you have to put on an act in front of me?"

"Who is more noble than who?" Lady Li glared at her coldly.

Wen Jieyu had nothing to say to her. She had already advised her, and since she didn't listen, it had nothing to do with her. She had chosen her own path, and the ending was already there.

"What are you going to do? It has nothing to do with me. I have kindly reminded you. Since you are still stubborn, I have nothing to say." After saying this, Concubine Wen was about to turn around and leave.

But Lady Li didn't think so. She wanted to pull her along, so that she would have a better chance of winning. "You really don't want to follow me..."

Before Lady Li could finish her words, Concubine Wen pushed her away and said, "You are looking for death, but don't drag me into it. Whatever you do has nothing to do with me."

After saying this, Concubine Wen quickly walked away.

Lady Li stood where she was, staring at her back with resentful eyes, "Just wait and see! I want to see how long you can keep pretending."

Weiyang Palace

On this day, Zheng Xiyan specially summoned Concubine Xian, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Queen. May you live in peace and happiness."

"Get up!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Queen." After sitting down, Concubine Xian asked carefully, "Why did the Queen summon me?"

"New Year's Eve is coming soon. I'm pregnant and can't do many things myself, so I'd like to let you host this year's New Year's Eve banquet." Zheng Xiyan has been very tired these days and is not in a very good condition.

Concubine Xian frowned and said with great fear, "My Queen, I am afraid I am not up to the task." For a palace banquet, it would be fine if it was done well, but if it was messed up, the consequences...

Zheng Xiyan naturally knew her concerns and said with a smile: "How could that be? You have been in the palace for many years, and now you are a concubine, and you have the second prince. Now, you are the most suitable one in the harem."

"But after all, there is Noble Concubine Rong above me. It is really against the rules for me to organize the New Year's Eve banquet without Noble Concubine Rong." Concubine Xian replied carefully. She had to turn down this task.

Zheng Xiyan's expression changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "It has not been long since the Imperial Concubine Rong was released from house arrest, and she made a mistake before. I really don't feel comfortable leaving it to her. You have always been careful, and I trust you more."

"But I..." Concubine Xian still tried to refuse. However, Zheng Xiyan looked at her steadily and said with dignity, "Concubine Xian, are you unwilling to help me share the burden?" Her imposing manner was so compelling that people could not help but feel afraid.

"Your Majesty, I will naturally obey your orders." Concubine Xian's heart tightened, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and gritted her teeth and agreed, "Then I will respectfully obey your orders."

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "That's right. You should also help me pay more attention to Yihua Palace. I will ask His Majesty to grant you the power to assist in managing the six palaces."

Xian Fei was stunned on the spot. To cooperate with the power of the six palaces? How could she... Xian Fei knelt in front of her and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept this. Please take back your order."

Zheng Xiyan picked up the teacup on the table, her eyes fell on her subtly, then she took a sip and said with a smile: "Everyone wants to be the assistant to the six palaces, why are you shirking it?"

"I am a humble person with little influence, and I really don't deserve your help. Your Majesty, I have the Second Prince to take care of, so I really can't spare the time."

"Oh? Really?" Zheng Xiyan placed the teacup in her hand on the table, making a crisp sound, which made Concubine Xian's heart tremble.

"Yes, I only want to take good care of Ye'er and serve Your Majesty. As for the rest, I dare not dream about it. I hope Your Majesty will understand!" After saying that, Concubine Xian bowed deeply.

She knew too well the current situation of her and her son. Fighting with the Queen and her son would only lead to death. Since she knew the outcome, why should she make such a meaningless struggle?

Zheng Xiyan looked at her, her eyebrows slightly raised, and after a long time, she slowly raised her hand and said in a deep voice: "Get up!"

"I believe in you. You have always been law-abiding. I hope you can always be like this." Zheng Xiyan smiled, a little creepy.

"Yes, I will." Concubine Xian broke out in a cold sweat, and even her voice trembled.

"Please sit down! You too, I was just joking with you, why are you so nervous?" Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right." Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian felt completely relieved.

Zheng Xiyan continued, "Now that I am pregnant, my belly is getting bigger day by day. I want you to help me share some of the burden and take care of the harem."

"But why did Your Majesty choose me?" Concubine Xian asked carefully.

"Empress Rong is narrow-minded. I will never let her manage the harem. I have no other choice but you." Zheng Xiyan said. They are the only ones who are most qualified to manage the harem, but she is the most suitable one.

The virtuous concubine was always uneasy. Was it really just because of this? "But I am afraid that I can't manage it well and will cause trouble for the queen."

"How could that be? You have several palace ladies from the Internal Affairs Bureau assisting you. I believe that you will not let me down." Zheng Xiyan stood up with a smile and slowly walked to her.

Xian Fei immediately stood up and said, "Xian Fei, you are an old man by His Majesty's side and have been in the palace for many years. I have great confidence in you."

"I thank the Empress for her trust. I will do my best to complete what Her Majesty has entrusted me to do and will not let Her Majesty down." The virtuous concubine lowered her eyes and said, she was very unsure now, but she had no choice but to agree.

"That's right. Manage the harem well and organize this year's New Year's Eve banquet well. You and the second prince will be safe. I can guarantee you that." Zheng Xiyan's eyes suddenly became sharp, revealing her sinister side.

The expression on Concubine Xian's face changed instantly. She looked at her in shock and said, "Empress! Ye'er is your Majesty's son. You..."

"He is His Majesty's son, not my son." Zheng Xiyan said coldly.

Concubine Xian would never have thought that the queen who was always gentle in her impression was such a cruel person, "Queen..."

"Okay, do as I say. I will definitely treat you and your son well. Just kneel down and greet me!" Zheng Xiyan was tired and rubbed her eyebrows.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Concubine Xian left Weiyang Palace with a pale face, looking distraught.

After she left, Biluo worriedly asked, "Why did your Majesty... What if the virtuous concubine said something to His Majesty?"
