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

"I am a smart person, so I know what to say and what not to say." Wen Chongyi knew that she was no match for the queen, and even if she said something to others, who would believe it?

What's more, the queen did not interfere in this matter from beginning to end, so it is not easy to convict her.

"That's good." Zheng Xiyan said coldly.

"Chen and concubine retire."

On the way back to Minghua Palace with Concubine Li, Concubine Li noticed that her face looked strange and comforted her: "Now we know that it was Concubine Rong who killed your child. Your Majesty will not spare her life. Sister, you..."

"It turned out to be her, not Concubine Su." Xu Chongyuan murmured in a low voice. She had wronged Concubine Su and caused her to lose her life in vain.

Xu Chongyuan regretted it deeply, her face full of guilt, and she cried and said, "I wrongly blamed a good person, I wrongly blamed her."

Lady Li also thought of Sister Su, but she was already dead. What was the point of talking about this now? "It's all over. Everything is over."

Shou'an Palace

Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning came to Shou'an Palace and saw their daughter whom they had been thinking about day and night.

Zi Rui stood aside, watching the mother and daughter reunite, and couldn't help being moved.

"Empress Chen, Empress Shu, you two have already met the princess. It's time to return to Yong'an Palace." Zi Rui said expressionlessly.

Shen Aoning begged her, "Miss Zirui, can you let me stay with the princess for a while longer?" Shen Aoning hugged her daughter tightly, refusing to let go, not wanting to leave her for a moment.

Zi Rui refused. "The Queen Mother is kind-hearted and allowed the two ladies to come to Shou'an Palace to see the princess, but the two ladies are still under house arrest after all, and it is not appropriate for them to stay in Shou'an Palace for long. Please don't make things difficult for me."

A concubine stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty asked us to raise the two princesses. Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu can rest assured that the two princesses are doing well."

"Leave the princess to me!" the concubine said gently.

"No one can take my daughter away." Shen Aoning suddenly became like a madman, hugging the third princess and refusing to let go. She was reluctant to do so.

Seeing this, Zi Rui ordered, "Come here! Take the third princess away."

"No! No one can take my daughter away." Shen Aoning hugged the third princess and dodged repeatedly, refusing to hand her over to anyone else.

"Empress Shufei, you'd better not make things difficult for me. You are still the scapegoat now. If you anger His Majesty and the Queen Mother again, you will really have nothing." Zi Rui reminded in a deep voice with a serious expression.

Xi Muyao handed her daughter to the concubine. Even though she was reluctant, she still hardened her heart. She could not catch the wolf without sacrificing the child, so she could only endure it now.

"Ao Ning, it's time for us to go back." Xi Muyao said.

Shen Aoning cried and said, "No! No one can separate us mother and daughter."

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you bring the princess over here?" Zi Rui ordered immediately.

The two wet nurses stepped forward and snatched the third princess from Shen Aoning's hands. The third princess burst into tears, "Waaaa~"

"my daughter."

"Empress Chen, Empress Shu, please come in!"

Xi Muyao left tactfully, while Shen Aoning was carried away by someone.

Shen Aoning couldn't bear to let go of her daughter when she heard her cry from behind. "My daughter, my daughter."

But Xi Muyao was unwilling to give up. She must find an opportunity to turn things around. Her life would never end like this.

Weiyang Palace

After Zheng Xiyan came back, she felt weak all over. Biluo and Shuangning were massaging her legs and back.

Zi Luo came in, checked her pulse, and said, "The dragon fetus is healthy, your majesty, there is no need to worry."

"Can we diagnose whether it is a boy or a girl now?" Zheng Xiyan asked as she slowly opened her eyes.

"I think it's most likely a prince." Zi Luo replied with a smile.

Zheng Xiyan's eyebrows gradually relaxed and a smile appeared on her face. "Okay!"

"Congratulations, ma'am."

"It's really lively tonight!" Zheng Xiyan exclaimed.

Biluo was a little worried, "Your Majesty! I hope Wen Chongyi won't say anything too much in front of His Majesty!"

"No, even if she said something to His Majesty, what would it matter? Does she have any evidence? Moreover, she could have gone to the Purple Palace and told His Majesty directly, but she came to Weiyang Palace to tell me instead. She knew the truth but didn't report it. I'm afraid she doesn't know how to explain it when the time comes!"

"Besides, she is a smart person." Zheng Xiyan was still confident in this. In this palace, the only way to save one's life is to keep a low profile and stand by and watch.

"Your Majesty is right. This time, Concubine Rong will never be able to recover."

"Not only him, but the Murong family will also suffer. His Majesty will definitely uproot the Murong family this time." Zheng Xiyan's eyes turned slightly. Next, Xiao Xuanchen would probably be busy.

Zheng Xiyan washed up, went to bed, and had a good sleep.

Yihua Palace

Xiao Xuanchen had been guarding here. Concubine Yi had just fainted from crying, and the palace finally quieted down. The eunuch in front of the emperor came to persuade him, "Your Majesty! It's late at night, you should go to bed."

Xiao Xuanchen tucked the quilt for her and then left the bedroom. "I am such a failure as an emperor. I can't even protect my own children. I was schemed against by a woman and lost two children."

"How could that be? Is it because Concubine Rong is too scheming? Your Majesty is so busy, how could he possibly pay attention to what's going on in the harem?"

"Empress Rong is hateful, but I have repeatedly indulged her. Shao'er has lost her child, how sad she must be?" Xiao Xuanchen thought of how he deliberately ignored her and did not come to see her some time ago, and felt even more guilty.

The eunuch in front of the emperor also felt sorry for Concubine Yi. For a concubine, a child is a favor, it is everything. "Concubine Yi will get over it. When Concubine Yi recovers, there is still a chance that she will get pregnant with the heir again."

The next morning, Concubine Xian came to the Weiyang Palace.

After Zheng Xiyan woke up, she summoned her.

When Concubine Xian saw her, she had the guts to ask her directly, "Did the Queen know about what happened last night?"

Zheng Xiyan's eyebrows turned, and her eyes were sharp as she said, "How come I don't understand what the virtuous concubine said?"

"Empress, I have always been law-abiding. I really don't know how I have offended you. Why do you want to drag me into this?" Concubine Xian was also angry. She had been so cautious just to live a peaceful life in the harem, but why, why didn't she let herself go.

"What did I do?" Zheng Xiyan looked solemn and looked at her with extremely cold eyes.

"Your Majesty deliberately ordered me to prepare the New Year's Eve banquet. Didn't you know that Concubine Rong would murder Concubine Yi at the banquet? Concubine Yi had a miscarriage at the banquet. Even if I had nothing to do with it, I am still to blame. Queen, I have always respected you. Why did you want to harm me?"

Zheng Xiyan sat on the Phoenix throne, playing with the jade ruyi in her hand, and sneered, "Respect?"
