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

Shoukang Palace

Another young eunuch came to Shoukang Palace, but the eunuch guarding the gate stopped him and asked, "Which palace are you from? Why are you rushing around like that?"

"The Queen is about to give birth. Please go in and tell her." The young eunuch bowed quickly.

They naturally did not dare to delay, "The Queen is about to give birth, go and tell Aunt Yu quickly."

"Yes!"

The maid entered the bedroom and said, "Your Highness the Queen Mother, the eunuch from Weiyang Palace came to report that the Queen is about to give birth."

The Empress Dowager frowned, her face showing both joy and worry, and immediately ordered: "The Queen is about to give birth, quickly prepare the sedan chair and go to Weiyang Palace."

"Yes!" Nanny Yu stepped forward and helped her up.

Zhonghua Palace

Xiao Xuanchen was having dinner with Wen Chongyi. Wen Chongyi's appetite had not been very good these days, and she was suffering from severe morning sickness. Seeing her put down her bowl and chopsticks, Xiao Xuanchen was very worried, "How can it be possible to use so little?"

"Eat more." Xiao Xuanchen picked up a dish for her.

"Your Majesty, I really have no appetite." Wen Chongyi's face looked a little bad. In the past few days, she had not been able to eat or sleep well, and her face had become thinner.

Xiao Xuanchen advised gently: "For the sake of the baby in your belly, you should eat a little."

Wen Chongyi looked at him pitifully. She felt like she was about to vomit again. She said weakly, "But I really can't eat any more."

At this time, Qiaohong walked in and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Madam, the eunuch in the Queen's palace wants to see you."

"Queen? Let him in." Xiao Xuanchen said immediately.

"Yes."

The young eunuch walked in and knelt directly in front of Xiao Xuanchen, "Your Majesty!"

"But is there something wrong with the Queen?" Xiao Xuanchen's expression changed and he asked nervously.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is about to give birth."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen stood up instantly and said as he walked, "Go to Weiyang Palace."

"Yes! Let's go to Weiyang Palace." The eunuch in front of the emperor hurriedly followed.

Xiao Xuanchen left in a hurry. Wen Chongyi saw how nervous he was about the queen. Although she knew it was wrong to think this way, she still felt uncomfortable. Was she being too pretentious?

He cared so much about the Empress and was so worried about her that she thought, on the day she gave birth, would he... also be worried about her like this?

"Your Majesty, let's hurry to Weiyang Palace!" Qiaohong stepped forward and said.

Wen Chongyi had a complicated expression and whispered, "Well, have someone prepare the sedan chair."

"Yes!"

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan was giving birth. Although she had given birth once before, giving birth for a woman is like going through hell.

Biluo and Zirui stayed by her side, while Shuangning and Ziluo stayed outside the bedroom.

"Push harder, my lady!" the midwife shouted.

Shuang Ning and Zi Luo were very anxious outside the bedroom. Zi Luo held her hand and comforted her, "Your Highness has given birth once before, and you will surely give birth to a prince smoothly this time."

"You are right, Her Majesty and the little prince will be safe." Shuang Ning clasped her hands and prayed.

At this time, the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "The Queen Mother has arrived."

"The Queen Mother is here." Shuang Ning and Zi Luo looked at each other and immediately stepped forward to greet her, kneeling on the ground and bowing, "Your servants pay their respects to the Queen Mother."

"Stop being so polite. How's the Queen?" The Empress Dowager looked into the hall with a nervous expression.

Shuang Ning said in a deep voice: "Her Majesty, the midwife and the imperial physician are both inside, but there is no news yet."

Nanny Yu helped the Empress Dowager into the main hall. Seeing that there was no one in the hall, the Empress Dowager asked, "Where is the Emperor?"

"Empress Dowager, I have sent someone to invite His Majesty." Shuang Ning stepped forward and reported.

As soon as Shuang Ning finished speaking, the voice of the eunuch in front of the emperor came from outside, "His Majesty has arrived!"

Xiao Xuanchen rushed in anxiously, "This servant pays respect to His Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen stepped forward and saluted, "Your son pays respects to your mother! How is the queen?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress is still in labor. The imperial physician said that the fetus has been well taken care of and will definitely be able to give birth smoothly."

The midwife's voice came from the bedroom, "Her Majesty, please push harder, Her Majesty, please push harder!"

Xiao Xuanchen sat down, and the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "The Purple Palace is so close to the Weiyang Palace, why did you come so late?"

"Mother, I came from Zhonghua Palace." Xiao Xuanchen's mind was now on Zheng Xiyan, and he said with his back to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything more. After a while, the concubines from all the palaces arrived one after another. Since the Empress was giving birth, it was natural for the concubines from all the palaces to be there to watch.

In the bedroom, Biluo held Zheng Xiyan's hand tightly and said, "My queen, use more strength."

Zheng Xiyan was sweating profusely, veins popping out from the pain, one hand tightly grasped the quilt, clenched his teeth, and used all his strength to scream, "Ah—"

Half an hour passed

Xiao Xuanchen asked: "Why is there no movement? How is the queen?"

The Queen Mother said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Giving birth is not that easy for a woman. Giving birth is like going through hell."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the sound of a baby crying could be heard from the bedroom, "Waaaaa~"

"It's born." Shuang Ning said excitedly. She and Zi Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This child has a really loud voice," the Queen Mother said with a smile.

After a while, the midwife brought the child out and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little prince."

The Queen Mother was delighted and walked over to take the child from the midwife's arms. "Oh my, I have another grandson. The Queen is really blessed."

When Xiao Xuanchen heard that it was another prince, his expression was a little complicated. He had always hoped that it would be a princess, but it turned out to be a prince.

When the concubines in the palace heard that the Queen had given birth to another prince, they must have felt jealous, envious, and hateful!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty." Everyone knelt down to congratulate.

The Empress Dowager looked at her grandson in her arms, smiling from ear to ear, and said, "Look at this child, he looks so much like the emperor. The emperor, come and have a look."

Xiao Xuanchen walked over, took a look, and said, "What the Queen Mother said is right."

At this time, the wet nurse came in with Xiao Chengji, "Is it the little sister?" Xiao Chengji asked in a baby voice.

The Queen Mother heard his voice and waved to him, "Ji'er, come quickly."

"Grandmother, is it the little sister?" Xiao Chengji asked, looking up.

"It's not a little sister, it's a little brother. Ji'er has a new brother." The Queen Mother said softly, her face full of kindness.

"But didn't the Emperor and the Empress say that she was a little sister?" Xiao Chengji asked again.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your father and mother were expecting something wrong. It's just a little brother. But whether it's a little sister or a little brother, Ji'er is still the elder brother."

"Come! Look at your brother."

Xiao Chengji looked at him curiously, took the initiative to reach out and hold his little hand, and said in a soft voice: "So small! His hand is even smaller than Ji'er's."

"That's natural. You were also this small when you were born." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
