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

Chapter 198: Both are princesses, but their fate is so unfair

After Princess Rong Le left, Biluo and Shuang Ning walked in, "Your Majesty!"

"What did Princess Rong Le say to you?" Biluo stepped forward and asked.

Zheng Xiyan's expression was helpless, with a layer of sadness on her face. She sighed and said, "It's nothing. She just wants me to help her."

"Then your majesty, do you want to help Princess Rong Le?" Shuang Ning said.

Zheng Xiyan shook her head, her expression serious. "I really can't intervene in this matter. Your Majesty is suspicious by nature. If Your Majesty becomes suspicious of me at this time, the consequences will not be something I can bear."

"Your Majesty is right." Biluo said in a deep voice.

After Princess Rong Le walked out of Weiyang Palace, she looked up at the sky with tears in her eyes, but she was strong enough not to let them flow.

The maid beside her asked worriedly, "Princess, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the sky. You said it would be great if I could fly out." Princess Rong Le laughed foolishly. It turned out that the fate of being a princess was to be locked from one cage to another.

"What did the princess say?" The maid's face was full of worry.

"There has never been a moment when I would rather not be a princess." Princess Rong Le sneered. In this life, she was destined to be a bird in a cage.

The next day, Zheng Xiyan went to Shoukang Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother. "Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and good health."

"Get up!" said the Queen Mother with a smile.

"Thank you, mother."

Zheng Xiyan sat down opposite the Queen Mother and asked, "Mother, where is Xuanhua? Why can't I see her?"

"Don't mention her, she's still asleep." The Queen Mother had a smile on her face. She was always in a particularly good mood when she mentioned Princess Xuanhua.

"Xuanhua still likes to sleep in like before." Zheng Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled.

"Let her be!"

The Queen Mother looked at her, her expression becoming somewhat serious as she asked, "I heard that Rong Le went to Weiyang Palace yesterday?"

"Yes! Your Majesty intends to let Princess Rong Le marry in Southern Xinjiang, but Rong Le does not want to marry, so she comes to me for help." Zheng Xiyan did not hide anything. There was nothing to hide about such things.

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "This matter has been decided. Even if she goes to beg you, it will be useless."

"That's what I told her." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"I'm glad that the Queen understands." Although the Queen Mother is their biological mother, she is not that kind.

When Zheng Xiyan left, she had just left the main hall when Princess Xuanhua woke up and walked towards her happily. "Imperial sister-in-law."

"Xuanhua." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"I've met the emperor's sister-in-law."

"No need to be polite."

"Is the Imperial Sister-in-law leaving now?"

Zheng Xiyan looked at her lovingly and said with a smile, "Look at what time it is. I still have a lot of palace affairs to deal with, so I'll go back to Weiyang Palace first."

Princess Xuanhua felt a little embarrassed, "Well, I'll send you off respectfully."

"Ah."

Zheng Xiyan walked towards the palace gate. At the moment she was about to step through the gate, she turned around and glanced at Princess Xuanhua's back.

Biluo asked in confusion: "My Lady, what's wrong?"

Zheng Xiyan had a complicated expression, and felt very heavy in her heart. "We are both princesses, but our fates are so different. This world is really unfair. I am a vested interest, but sometimes I also feel that the world is unfair."

"Your Majesty! Princess Xuanhua is the legitimate princess, the Empress Dowager's own flesh and blood. How can Princess Rongle be compared with Princess Xuanhua?" Biluo whispered.

"Yes! If it were me, I would also think about my daughter. After all, there has been no fairness from the beginning. I myself cannot be fair when facing such a situation. Everyone has his or her own selfish desires." Zheng Xiyan felt deeply helpless.

"Miss!"

"Go back!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

Biluo helped her sit on the phoenix carriage, and Zheng Xiyan ordered, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Tai Chi Hall

After the morning court session, Prince Xiang walked out of the Taiji Hall alone. Prince Ming caught up with him and said meaningfully, "Fifth brother, have you made up your mind?"

"I don't know what you are talking about?" King Xiang had a cold look on his face and quickened his pace.

Ming Wang's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Fifth brother, you are a smart man, do you still want to continue struggling? Do you really want to watch your most beloved sister marry far away in southern Xinjiang?"

"Your Majesty has not issued an order yet, and everything can turn around." King Xiang said coldly.

Ming Wang sneered, "Turning point? Is there any turning point?"

King Xiang stopped and stared at him with gloomy eyes, "What is Third Brother thinking? Don't I, as your younger brother, understand? If you want me to join forces with you, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died in the end."

"Do you really want to watch Rong Le marry far away in southern Xinjiang? Can you really bear it? Or are you willing to hand over the military power with both hands? Aren't you afraid that Xiao Xuanchen will take action against you?" Seeing that he was so stubborn, King Ming became a little agitated.

"What should I choose? It has nothing to do with my third brother, so it's better if you don't interfere." King Xiang turned around and left with a cold look on his face.

"Hmph! Okay! I want to see what you will do." King Ming left the Taiji Hall after leaving these words.

After returning to the palace, Princess Xiang stood anxiously outside the palace waiting. The moment she saw him, her eyes lit up and she quickly walked up to him, "The prince is back."

"What's wrong?" King Xiang asked in a deep voice.

"Father is here."

Princess Xiang's father was Zhang Shangshu, the Minister of Revenue in the court, a second-rank official.

King Xiang went to see him, "Your Highness."

"Father-in-law, no need to be polite. Please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Princess Xiang served tea to the king and said, "Your Majesty, please have a sip of tea first!"

King Xiang replied perfunctorily, "I am not thirsty." Then he looked at Minister Zhang and asked, "I wonder why my father-in-law came to visit me today?"

"Your Highness, I am here today regarding Princess Rong Le's marriage." Minister Zhang said bluntly.

Hearing this, Prince Xiang subconsciously looked at Princess Xiang. He knew without a doubt that it was her who sent the letter.

Princess Xiang looked somewhat guilty, but some things needed to be decided as soon as possible.

"What does my father-in-law want to say?" King Xiang's face was so cold that it made people feel afraid.

Minister Zhang looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you should put the overall situation first and agree to let Princess Rong Le marry into Southern Xinjiang."

"Put the overall situation first?" King Xiang asked with cold eyes.

Minister Zhang added: "Although Princess Rong Le is your sister, she is also a princess of Daliang. It is her mission to marry into Daliang's family. Why would Your Majesty put yourself in danger for her?"

"Hmph! Do you think I'm stupid?" Upon hearing this, King Xiang raised his voice unconsciously.

"I have no such intention." Minister Zhang immediately stood up and bowed.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, father-in-law. I am busy with other affairs, so I will not see you off. Let the princess see you off!" As soon as the King Xiang finished speaking, he stood up and left.

"Your Highness!" Princess Xiang shouted.

Princess Xiang looked at him and asked anxiously, "Father, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry, the prince will think it through."
