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

The Queen Mother noticed that he was worried and guessed why, so she ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone, leave!"

"Yes! I'll take my leave." The palace maids withdrew, and the wet nurse took Princess Changle away.

Xiao Xuanchen sat down and told the Queen Mother, "Mother! News just came from the cold palace that Murong has passed away."

The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly. It had finally come to this. It was a pity for Changle. "No wonder Changle kept crying."

Speaking of Changle, she is his own daughter after all, how could he not feel distressed, "Her mother made a mistake, but it was not her fault, she is my daughter after all."

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "So the Emperor intends to show mercy to Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu?"

"Mother!" Xiao Xuanchen held his forehead and closed his eyes.

"I don't want to interfere with your decision, but Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu have confused the royal bloodline, which is an unforgivable crime. You can spare their lives for now, but if you want to make a big deal out of a small matter, I advise you to think it over carefully." The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. If they were to forgive them both so easily, wouldn't it shake the dignity of the royal family?

"But mother, have you ever thought about what will happen in the court if I touch the Murong, Xi and Shen families in succession? Will I be the one who benefits? Prince Xiang and Prince Ming are eyeing them covetously. They will certainly not let go of this opportunity. I am afraid that the court will be in turmoil!" This is the most difficult part for him, otherwise he would have dealt with them long ago.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her expression changed slightly and she stopped trying to dissuade him. "Okay! The Emperor makes the decision himself!"

"Thank you for your understanding, mother."

"I heard that you have just promoted Concubine Yi to Chongrong?" the Empress Dowager asked again.

"Yes!"

The Empress Dowager had also heard about the noise coming out of Yihua Palace in the past few days. She said sternly, "You have doted on her too much and indulged her to the point where she is now. Isn't that enough?"

"Your Majesty, you are right. I know I was wrong." Xiao Xuanchen now regretted it.

"When she recovers, she can continue to come to Shoukang Palace and copy Buddhist scriptures for me! I failed to improve her temper before, so I will continue to do so." The Empress Dowager's expression froze. A woman like this was not suitable to stay in the palace.

Xiao Xuanchen pinched his brows, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed, saying in a deep voice: "Okay!"

The Queen Mother reminded her again, "Please visit Weiyang Palace more often when you have time. There can't be any mistakes with the Queen's pregnancy this time."

"My son, I know."

In the days that followed, Xiao Xuanchen would come to Weiyang Palace every now and then to accompany Zheng Xiyan.

Zheng Xiyan's belly was getting bigger day by day. Although she didn't like him coming so often, she had to deal with him for the sake of the baby in her belly and herself.

Xiao Xuanchen was not idle either. He occasionally summoned concubines to his palace, but his visits to Yihua Palace became less and less frequent.

After March, Yi Chongrong was still depressed and listless every day. She didn't care that Xiao Xuanchen didn't come to Yihua Palace.

Caiwei felt tortured every day. One day, Nanny Yu came to Yihua Palace. Caiwei immediately greeted her with a smile and said excitedly, "Nanny Yu, why are you here? What instructions does the Queen Mother have?"

Nanny Yu looked serious and said in a cold voice: "The Queen Mother has ordered that from today onwards, Chongrong should go to Shoukang Palace every day to copy Buddhist scriptures for an hour."

Caiwei was stunned. "What? Aunt Yu, our master is now..."

"It's already March, and spring is about to arrive. Is Yi Chongrong's health still not well?" Nanny Yu's face was solemn, with a slight frown on her brows.

"That's not the case, it's just that our master..." Caiwei lowered her head. She was in a very bad mood and felt more and more hopeless.

"That's it. This is the order from the Empress Dowager. You should quickly accompany Yi Chongrong to Shoukang Palace!" After saying this, Nanny Yu turned around and left.

"Yes, slaves obey."

Caiwei entered the bedroom carefully and told her about this. Yi Chongrong instantly flew into a rage, "I lost my child, but the Queen Mother not only has no sympathy, but also wants me to copy Buddhist scriptures?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. But this is the order of the Empress Dowager after all. You cannot not go!" Caiwei replied carefully.

Yi Chongrong looked aggrieved and tearful. She felt that the entire palace was bullying her. "What did I do wrong? I lost my child, but no one cared about me, not even His Majesty... Why?"

Caiwei could only continue to comfort her, "Your Majesty! That's His Majesty! How can you keep getting angry with His Majesty?"

"That's my child, and also your Majesty's child. Has your Majesty ever been sad about losing your child?" Yi Chongrong broke down and cried, crying in agony.

Caiwei looked helpless, "Your Majesty! The Queen Mother ordered you to go to Shoukang Palace. I will help you wash and change clothes. Let's go to Shoukang Palace quickly!"

Yi Chongrong pushed her away and said, "I'm already so pitiful, and you still bully me?"

Caiwei really wanted to roll her eyes. Why was she so stubborn? Why didn't she understand what people were saying? She wasn't like this at the beginning! Why...

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan is now six months pregnant, and Biluo and Shuangning are helping her walk in the yard.

Zi Rui and Zi Luo came over, and Zi Luo said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has ordered Yi Chongrong to go to Shoukang Palace every day to copy Buddhist scriptures for an hour."

"Oh?" Zheng Xiyan stretched out the last syllable of her answer. She didn't expect that the Queen Mother would intervene in this matter.

Zi Luo continued, "Yi Chongrong is already on her way to Shoukang Palace right now."

"In the past two months, your Majesty has only been to Yihua Palace a few times, but she is not panicked at all." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

Zi Luo frowned and said, "I really don't understand where Yi Chongrong gets the confidence from? Why does she think that His Majesty will indulge her again and again?"

"After all, I have been pampered by His Majesty, so I wishfully think that I am different in His Majesty's heart and have the confidence to confront His Majesty."

"However, His Majesty did give her the highest favor. It's just that she didn't recognize herself for a moment, and didn't see His Majesty clearly. She overestimated His Majesty's favor for her and underestimated His Majesty's ruthlessness." Zheng Xiyan's expression was indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

"The most unclear thing about the women in the palace is that they think they are special in the emperor's heart and fantasize that they have really won the emperor's love. But they don't think about who the emperor is? The emperor is rich as the sea, and there is no woman he can't get. This is asking for trouble. There will be another one. The women in the palace are like flowers, there are always flowers blooming all year round."

"The value of the concubines in the harem is nothing more than serving His Majesty and expanding the royal family."

"If you want something else, you're really overestimating your abilities." Zheng Xiyan sneered.
