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

Inside the palace, the air seemed to freeze. In the silence, only Wen Chongyi's heartbeat echoed. Her heartbeat seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, beating along with her thoughts. She was looking forward to the next reunion, but also a little nervous. She lowered her head and gently adjusted her dress. The complicated palace dress became soft in her hands, just like her mood at the moment, trying to find a trace of calm in the tension.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to calm the waves in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, Xiao Xuanchen had already walked in. His steps were steady, and his eyes swept across the hall, finally settling on Wen Chongyi. In his eyes, there was joy, guilt, and an indescribable complex emotion.

Wen Chongyi slowly stood up and walked towards Xiao Xuanchen. Although her steps were steady, each step seemed to be on the clouds, light yet somewhat unreal. She walked in front of Xiao Xuanchen and performed a standard palace ceremony. Although she tried to keep her voice calm, the trembling at the end of her voice still revealed her inner excitement: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He walked forward, gently helped Wen Chongyi up, and looked her over. When his eyes fell on Wen Chongyi's bulging belly, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "You are pregnant, so there is no need to be polite."

Wen Chongyi felt Xiao Xuanchen's warm palm, and a warm current surged in her heart. She raised her head and looked directly into Xiao Xuanchen's eyes. There were too many emotions in his eyes, and she interpreted them one by one, and finally turned them into a simple "Thank you, Your Majesty".

Xiao Xuanchen helped her to sit on the couch and asked softly, "How are you these days?"

Wen Chongyi smiled and replied, "I am fine. Thank you for your concern. How is your injury? I have been worried about you."

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her concerned eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He chuckled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Wen Chongyi breathed a sigh of relief, but then she remembered the thrill of Xiao Xuanchen's assassination, and her heart tightened again. She whispered, "That's good. Your Majesty was assassinated this time, and I was really scared."

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her nervous expression and felt a little guilty. He gently stroked her face and said softly, "You are pregnant, don't think too much, take good care of the baby, I am still waiting for you to give birth to a prince for me."

Wen Chongyi blushed when she heard this and nodded shyly. She looked up at Xiao Xuanchen, her eyes full of expectation and determination: "Your Majesty, can you promise me one thing?"

Xiao Xuanchen was slightly startled, then asked, "What's the matter?"

Wen Chongyi took a deep breath and said slowly: "I hope Your Majesty can come to see me more often." Although her voice was soft, it was full of determination and expectation.

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her determined eyes, and an inexplicable guilt surged in his heart. He gently held Wen Chongyi's hand and said softly: "Okay, I promise you. I will try to visit you more often."

Wen Chongyi was delighted after hearing this, but then she remembered her helplessness and suffering in this deep palace. She sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, I know that as the king of a country, you have too many responsibilities and affairs to deal with. I don't ask you to accompany me all the time, I just hope to get a little care and warmth from you in this deep palace."

After hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Okay!"

Wen Chongyi was moved after hearing this, and she looked out the window.

At lunch time, the sun shines through the glass windows of Zhonghua Palace, and sprinkles on the exquisite jade porcelain tableware. Xiao Xuanchen sits opposite Wen Chongyi, his eyes are gentle, like a spring breeze, and a faint smile appears in Wen Chongyi's eyes. She gently picks up a piece of emerald green jade fish fillet and chews it slowly, as if she has tasted a different flavor in this simple food.

Jinluo and Ru Ma stood by, and the two exchanged a look of delight. Jinluo whispered, "The master seems to have a much better appetite today." Ru Ma nodded, her eyes full of relief. They knew that all this was because of Xiao Xuanchen's arrival, which made Wen Chongyi feel a little warmer.

At the same time, in Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was having lunch with Princess Xuanhua. Nanny Yu reported softly, "Queen Mother, His Majesty stayed in Zhonghua Palace today." Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, as if she had expected all this.

Seeing her mother so happy, Princess Xuanhua couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mother, you seem to like Wen Chongyi very much?"

The Queen Mother put down her chopsticks and sighed softly, "I watched Wen Chongyi grow up. She is well-behaved, sensible, and well-educated. How could I not like her?"

Princess Xuanhua frowned when she heard this, and seemed to disagree with the Queen Mother's opinion. She had known Wen Chongyi since she was a child, but they had very different personalities. In her opinion, Wen Chongyi's obedience and understanding were sometimes even a little boring. She muttered, "What's so good about being like her? My brother doesn't seem to love her very much. There are many women like her in the palace."

The Queen Mother heard this and shook her head slightly. She looked at Princess Xuanhua with loving eyes and said, "Xuanhua, you are still young and don't understand the truth. It's good to be a queen, but there must be someone in the harem to help the emperor have children."

Princess Xuanhua was not convinced and said, "It's easy for my mother to say that, but my sister-in-law has a hard time in the palace. In my heart, my sister-in-law is still the best. No one can compare to her."

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and a solemn expression appeared on her face. She gently patted Princess Xuanhua's hand and said, "Xuanhua, you are still young and don't know the dangers of this palace. I know the grievances of the Queen. But as a queen, you must be generous, virtuous, and dignified. You must not be jealous. You must make every step perfect. This is what the world thinks a queen should be like."

Princess Xuanhua heard this, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. She looked at the Queen Mother, as if she wanted to find the answer from her mother's eyes. But the Queen Mother just smiled and said no more.

"My son, I understand."

"Have a meal!"

"Ah."

Weiyang Palace

The afternoon sun shone on the glazed tiles of the Weiyang Palace, creating a faint golden glow. After lunch, Zheng Xiyan accompanied her sons for a nap. She gently stroked the faces of her two sons and watched them gradually fall asleep. The two little princes had innocent smiles on their faces, as if they were having a sweet dream. Zheng Xiyan's eyes were full of tenderness. She gently covered them with a brocade quilt, then quietly got up and returned to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the fragrance lingered. Zheng Xiyan sat in front of the dressing table and smiled at herself in the bronze mirror. She turned her head and asked Biluo beside her: "Has your majesty rested in Zhonghua Palace?"

Biluo bowed her head slightly and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Majesty did not rest in Zhonghua Palace. After lunch, His Majesty left Zhonghua Palace and went to Yihua Palace."

Zheng Xiyan was slightly startled, and the jade hairpin in her hand slipped off. She picked it up gently and said lightly: "Yihua Palace? It's Concubine Zhao again." Although her voice was light, it carried a hint of subtle sadness.

Biluo didn't dare to say much, just stood quietly aside. Zheng Xiyan looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes gradually firmed up. She chuckled and said, "In a few days, I'm afraid that this Zhao Cairen will turn back into Yi Chongrong."

Shuang Ning listened to this and sighed softly, "Your Majesty is right, but the Queen Mother... I'm afraid she won't agree so easily."

Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly, turned around and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and said softly: "Your Majesty will definitely have his own way to deal with the Queen Mother. But it is not certain who will have the last laugh in the harem."

The wind blew gently outside the window, bringing a hint of coolness. Zheng Xiyan stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance.
