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

Snow flakes fluttered down like goose feathers, decorating the entire palace into a world of silver. In this moment of wind and snow, Zheng Xiyan was wearing a thick fur coat, but her face was not cold at all. Her eyes were firm and affectionate, and she went straight to Xiao Xuanchen through the wind and snow.

Xiao Xuanchen's figure appeared more upright in the wind and snow. When he saw Zheng Xiyan running towards him, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly, and a gentle light flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Xiyan called out in a tender voice.

"Yan'er." Xiao Xuanchen called softly, with a hint of pampering and helplessness in his voice.

Zheng Xiyan stopped in front of him, her eyes full of longing and concern for him. She looked at him affectionately, her voice revealing a bit of worry: "Your Majesty, it's snowing so heavily, why did you come to Weiyang Palace? What if you catch a cold?"

Xiao Xuanchen reached out and gently held her hands. His hands were icy cold, making Zheng Xiyan subconsciously want to pull them back, but for the sake of acting, she could only endure the cold.

"I want to see you." Xiao Xuanchen's voice was low and firm, as if telling Zheng Xiyan his determination and persistence.

Zheng Xiyan was disdainful in her heart, she took Xiao Xuanchen's hand and walked into the warm bedroom. Seeing this, Biluo immediately stepped forward and took off her cloak, while Zheng Xiyan walked to Xiao Xuanchen, carefully helped him take off the cloak, and pulled him to the stove.

"Your Majesty, please warm your hands quickly to drive away the cold." Zheng Xiyan said with concern, her eyes full of tenderness.

Xiao Xuanchen sat by the stove, feeling Zheng Xiyan's care and warmth, his heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness. He looked at her busy figure, and a warm current surged in his heart.

Zheng Xiyan gave Biluo a look, signaling her to leave. Biluo understood and left quietly with everyone, leaving only the two of them in this warm bedroom.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" There was a hint of doubt in Zheng Xiyan's tone. She felt that Xiao Xuanchen seemed a little emotional.

Xiao Xuanchen had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were deep, and he spoke slowly: "I just issued an order to execute King Ming."

Zheng Xiyan's face changed slightly when she heard the news, but she quickly regained her composure. She nodded slightly and said in a steady voice, "The King must have made a big mistake, otherwise His Majesty would not have made such a decision."

Xiao Xuanchen took a deep breath and continued, "I was assassinated in the palace before, and the mastermind behind it was all done by King Ming."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiyan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but her voice remained firm: "Then he deserves to die. Assassinating Your Majesty is an unforgivable crime."

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Do you really think so?"

Zheng Xiyan looked serious and looked directly into Xiao Xuanchen's eyes: "He sent someone to assassinate Your Majesty, which is a capital crime."

Xiao Xuanchen sighed softly, took her hand, and said in a low voice: "I killed him, but I don't seem to have won."

Zheng Xiyan had a confused expression on her face and looked at him in confusion: "Then what is your majesty worried about? He is already dead, why does your majesty still feel that he has not won?"

Xiao Xuanchen's eyes became deep. He looked at the snow outside the window and spoke slowly: "What I am worried about is the aftermath of this power struggle. Although King Ming is dead, my biggest worry King Xiang is still here. As long as he is here, I will never be able to feel at ease."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiyan understood Xiao Xuanchen's anxiety and uneasiness. She sighed softly. She had heard that the source of this obsession was the late emperor's preference for Prince Xiang. She knew that this was a scar in Xiao Xuanchen's heart that was difficult to heal.

"Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyan called gently, trying to calm him down. "You and Prince Xiang are both sons of the late emperor. The late emperor's expectations and love for you are naturally different. But as for who is the most outstanding son in the late emperor's heart, I'm afraid even the late emperor himself can't give a clear answer."

Xiao Xuanchen asked excitedly: "Yan'er, who do you think is the best son in my father's heart, me or Prince Xiang?"

Zheng Xiyan looked at Xiao Xuanchen with determination in her eyes: "Your Majesty, of course it is you. The late emperor finally chose you as the crown prince, not because of preference, but because of trust. He believes that you can shoulder the future of Daliang."

"But I always feel that my father has no preference for me." There was a hint of bitterness in Xiao Xuanchen's voice.

Zheng Xiyan shook her head gently: "Your Majesty, the late emperor's expectations and requirements of you are naturally higher, because you are the crown prince and the future of Daliang. He is repeatedly harsh on you because he has high hopes for you. You must know that the late emperor treated you as a subject first, and then as a father and son. As an emperor, he should first consider the future of Daliang, not the father-son relationship with Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her blankly, as if trying to digest these words: "Is this really the case?"

Zheng Xiyan nodded: "Of course, Your Majesty. Think about it, what father doesn't wish the best for his son? The late emperor's harshness and strictness towards you are actually his expectations and trust in you. He believes that you can become a wise ruler and lead Daliang to a more glorious future."

After hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and he held Zheng Xiyan's hand tightly: "Yan'er, thank you. I feel really at ease with you by my side."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiyan gently held his hand, her voice gentle but firm: "Your Majesty, I believe you can handle this. You are the emperor of Daliang, the pillar of the entire Daliang. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can turn danger into safety."

When Xiao Xuanchen heard her words, a warm current surged in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Zheng Xiyan affectionately, his eyes full of gratitude and tenderness: "With you by my side, I have nothing to fear."

At this moment, the Weiyang Palace seemed to be isolated from the wind and snow outside, leaving only the two of them leaning on each other in this quiet and warm atmosphere. Xiao Xuanchen held her in his arms, feeling her body temperature and breath, his heart filled with peace and tranquility.

Zheng Xiyan leaned in his arms with a look of contempt. The late emperor did have vision. If he had not been a legitimate son, the throne would never have fallen on him.

She even felt aggrieved for Prince Xiang and Prince Ming. As both were princes and had military merit, they were denied the chance to become emperor just because of their status as illegitimate children. They must have been unwilling to accept this.

Thinking about the fact that Prince Xiang gave up the fight for the throne just to help herself and her son, Zheng Xiyan couldn't help but become suspicious. Has he really let go of his obsession and given up the throne?

"Xiao Xuanqi, what kind of person are you?" Zheng Xiyan thought to herself, recalling her previous life, King Xiang never let go of his obsession until his death. Did he really let go in this life because of her?

Zheng Xiyan couldn't believe it. How could a person let go of his obsession so easily?
