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

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. We are all fine." Concubine Yi smiled gracefully, with a barely perceptible look in her eyes.

The Queen Mother said, "The people living in the Cining Palace are all the concubines of the previous emperor. The Queen should order people to check on them from time to time and make sure that the concubines and concubines are not treated unfairly."

"I have taken note of what your Majesty has taught me." Zheng Xiyan agreed repeatedly.

The Queen Mother turned to Prince Ming and Prince Xiang and said, "Prince Ming and Prince Xiang, I believe you haven't seen your mother for a long time. I specially held a banquet today to let you and your sons meet. After all, the concubines have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and you, as sons, can't see your mother for a few times throughout the year."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present heard the Queen Mother's hidden meaning, which was to warn King Ming and King Xiang.

Everyone only then understood why only Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu were invited to today's family dinner, and the other concubines were not invited. It turned out that this was the purpose.

For a moment, there was silence in the hall for a long time.

Prince Ming's face was very ugly. He had been suppressing his dissatisfaction in his heart and whispered, "What the Queen Mother said is right. I have to thank the Queen Mother for that."

King Xiang's eyes fixed, he controlled his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Your son will remember what your mother said."

Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu originally found it strange, but when they were invited to the banquet today, they now completely understood the Queen Mother's purpose.

"I would like to thank the Queen Mother for giving us the opportunity to meet as mother and son. I will never forget your kindness." Concubine Yi quickly stood up and saluted.

Concubine Shu also stood up and saluted. The two of them had been in the palace for many years, so how could they not know the Empress Dowager's schemes and methods? Naturally, they did not dare to act rashly.

The Queen Mother smiled and sighed, "I don't expect you to remember my kindness. My two sisters have lived in this palace for most of their lives. I don't care about the past, but I hope that from now on, everyone can live a peaceful life in harmony. You are all old, and it's time to enjoy your old age, right?"

"The Empress Dowager is right." Over the years, Concubine Yi's temper has been tempered. She is no longer as arrogant as before. In front of the Empress Dowager, she always looks submissive.

"I will definitely remember it." When the late emperor was still alive, Concubine Shu was considered to be in favor, but after the late emperor passed away, her life was naturally not as good as before. Although she still had some pride, she did not dare to really do anything.

"That's very good." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

Prince Ming had already clenched his fists. Princess Ming beside him patted his hands gently and said, "Prince, you must not lose your manners in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Princess Ming is dignified, elegant, graceful and generous, and has always been a good wife to Prince Ming.

After hearing this, Ming Wang's clenched fists gradually loosened and his expression relaxed a lot.

Xiao Xuanchen then said, "There have been a few things that have troubled me recently. The people under my third and fifth brothers made mistakes. I thought of our brotherhood and wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. But after checking, I found that the matter was far beyond my imagination. After thinking about it, I don't want the people to accuse me of shielding my brother."

"Therefore, I want to deal with it according to the law. I wonder if my two brothers think that this is appropriate?"

"Your Majesty is wise. Everything should be handled according to the laws of Daliang. I have no objection." King Xiang glanced at his mother and took the lead in expressing his attitude.

Seeing this, King Ming had no choice but to endure it. As a result, the people under his command would inevitably be implicated, which would be very disadvantageous to him.

But now, he had no choice, "I have no objection."

"So good."

Zheng Xiyan just watched coldly. Her grandfather, King Chu, was also invited to attend the family dinner today.

The King of Chu had a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He was nearly sixty years old.

After the family dinner, Zheng Xiyan came to pay respect to King Chu, "Grandfather."

"Empress." The King of Chu bowed and saluted.

"Grandfather, please get up quickly."

Princess Chengyang is the only legitimate daughter of King Chu. He has always loved his granddaughter Zheng Xiyan very much.

"I haven't congratulated Her Majesty on her pregnancy yet. Congratulations, Her Majesty." The King of Chu looked delighted and looked at her with kind eyes.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Zheng Xiyan had just specifically asked Xiao Xuanchen to allow her to send her grandfather out of the palace.

"Grandfather, is everything okay at home?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

"It's all good. You don't have to worry. You must have seen the situation today. The Queen Mother and His Majesty are taking this opportunity to warn Prince Ming and Prince Xiang. They want them to realize that Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu are still in the harem. If they dare to act rashly, the two concubines will die."

Zheng Xiyan naturally understood, but judging from the outcome of her previous life, this trick would only work for a while, but not for a lifetime.

"I understand."

"Yan'er, you must be careful in this palace and never take a wrong step." The King of Chu warned worriedly.

"Yan'er understands, grandpa just rest assured." In her previous life, she made one mistake after another, but she would never do that again in this life.

"Duke Zheng's Mansion and Prince Chu's Mansion will always be your backers."

"Ah."

She lived a happy life for the first fifteen years of her life. She grew up being loved by everyone and she thought she would be happy all her life. However, she never expected that in the end, she would just become a pawn of others.

"Okay, just send him here! It's time for grandpa to leave the palace." The King of Chu whispered.

"Goodbye, Grandpa." Zheng Xiyan's face was full of reluctance.

"it is good!"

When she saw her grandfather's hunched body, she realized at that moment that her grandfather was really old.

Biluo Shuangning stepped forward and said, "My queen, please go back! Your health is more important."

"Let's go!"

Shoukang Palace

Xiao Xuanchen accompanied the empress dowager back to Shoukang Palace. When they entered the main hall, Xiao Xuanchen helped her sit on the couch.

The Queen Mother said, "Prince Ming and Prince Xiang, I believe they will be able to live in peace for a few days after this incident, but this is not a perfect plan. We still need to think of a way."

"Your Majesty Mother is right. I will find a way to deal with them." Xiao Xuanchen had a gloomy face and looked very worried.

The Queen Mother looked at him and thought he was still too young and had too little experience, so it was inevitable that he was a little overwhelmed.

"Mother often thinks, how great it would be if your two brothers were still alive?" The Queen Mother said suddenly with sadness.

Xiao Xuanchen had no impression of his two brothers. When they left, he was not yet born. But if it were not for their young death, Xiao Xuanchen would not have been able to sit on the throne.

"Don't be too sad, mother. You still have your son here." Xiao Xuanchen said in a low voice.

"Yes! At least the Queen Mother still has you and Xuanhua."

"I will never make mother worry again, absolutely not." Xiao Xuanchen assured repeatedly.

"Ok!"

"Go down and see the Queen. She is pregnant and has suffered a lot. You must not neglect the Queen just because of the new person entering the palace. You just agreed to let the Queen go to send the King of Chu. You should also understand what the power behind the Queen means to you?" The Queen Mother was afraid that he was too cruel and would end up with nothing.

Xiao Xuanchen knew it all in his heart, but he always felt that his throne had to be stabilized by women, who could only remind him again and again how incompetent he was.
