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

That night, the moonlight was like water, and Xiao Xuanchen walked into the Weiyang Palace, bringing the tranquility of the night and the majesty of the royal family. Zheng Xiyan had been waiting in the palace for a long time. When she saw Xiao Xuanchen, she smiled gently and personally poured him a cup of hot tea.

At dinner time, the two sat around an exquisite dining table filled with delicious dishes. However, Xiao Xuanchen's chopsticks did not seem to move much. Seeing this, Zheng Xiyan asked with concern: "Your Majesty seems to have a poor appetite. Is it because today's food is not to your taste?"

Xiao Xuanchen looked up at her and smiled slightly: "The food is good, but I'm a little tired today."

Zheng Xiyan understood and said softly, "I heard that Concubine Zhao has been suffering from severe morning sickness these days. The imperial kitchen has been preparing a lot of delicacies every day. I hope she can eat more."

Xiao Xuanchen sighed, shook his head and smiled, "After all the hard work, her appetite hasn't improved. I've visited her several times, and she looks much more haggard."

Zheng Xiyan patted the back of his hand gently and comforted him, "It's always harder for a pregnant woman, but she'll get used to it after a few days. Your Majesty, don't worry too much."

Xiao Xuanchen nodded and said, "That's what I told her as well."

Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly, with a gentle light flashing in her eyes: "I think Concubine Zhao's baby will definitely be a healthy prince."

After hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen also showed a happy smile on his face: "The Queen is right."

"But Your Majesty should also summon more other sisters. There are many beauties in the harem, and they all hope to give birth to children for Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyan opened her red lips slightly, her voice soft and gentle.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen's eyes flashed with a smile. He gently put down the chopsticks in his hand and stared at Zheng Xiyan, as if he wanted to engrave her deeply in his heart: "I know, but what I want more in my heart is to have another smart little princess with the queen."

Zheng Xiyan felt a little shy when he looked at her, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head and whispered softly, "Your Majesty is used to teasing me."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Xuanchen couldn't help laughing. He reached out his hand, gently held Zheng Xiyan's hand, and said softly: "Although I already have three princesses, I have always hoped to have a legitimate princess. She will be a treasure for you and me. I believe that our daughter will be as beautiful and intelligent as the queen."

Zheng Xiyan felt a sweet feeling in her heart after hearing his words. She raised her head, her eyes sparkling with happiness, and said shyly, "Your Majesty is right."

The two smiled at each other, Xiao Xuanchen's eyes were full of affection and expectation, but Zheng Xiyan felt disgusted. They continued to eat, although they didn't talk much, the atmosphere was very warm.

Late at night, intermittent sounds of a woman's soft moans, mixed with a man's heavy breathing, could be heard from the bedroom.

The hall was dark, Xiao Xuanchen lay on top of her and kept demanding it. Zheng Xiyan felt sick, but she could only endure the humiliation silently.

……

The next morning, Zheng Xiyan slowly woke up from her deep sleep. She opened her eyes and found that the bedroom was empty. Xiao Xuanchen had already left for the morning court. She sat up and felt sore and weak all over, as if all her strength had been drained away. Xiao Xuanchen's crazy demands last night were still vivid in her mind, making her feel sick.

She sighed softly, trying to put those unpleasant memories behind her. At this time, two palace maids, Biluo and Shuangning, came in. Biluo was holding a basin of hot water, ready to wash Zheng Xiyan, while Shuangning came forward, helped her get out of bed, and sat down in front of the dressing table.

"My queen, you don't look well?" Biluo asked softly, handing a hot towel to Zheng Xiyan.

Zheng Xiyan took the towel, wiped her face gently, and replied lightly: "It's okay." There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her voice.

Shuang Ning understood a little when she saw this. She didn't dare to say much, but just silently helped Zheng Xiyan comb her hair. Zheng Xiyan looked at herself in the mirror, her face was haggard, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, breakfast is ready." Shuang Ning asked softly.

Zheng Xiyan pondered for a moment and said, "I understand."

"Yes, your majesty." Shuang Ning responded, and then told Biluo to prepare.

After a while, Zheng Xiyan changed into light clothes and walked out of the bedroom with Shuang Ning.

After Zheng Xiyan finished her breakfast, a palace maid came in in a panic and reported: "Empress, there is news from Shou'an Palace that the second princess is ill. Please go over."

Zheng Xiyan's heart tightened, and she immediately asked, "Have you called the imperial physician?"

The maid replied, "Her Majesty, the doctor has come, but the concubines are all terrified."

Zheng Xiyan stood up and ordered, "Prepare the phoenix carriage. I will be there soon."

The palace maids withdrew in response. Zheng Xiyan quickly tidied her appearance, left Weiyang Palace, got on the phoenix carriage, and hurried to Shou'an Palace.

When they arrived at Shou'an Palace, several concubines who were in charge of taking care of the second princess were standing by with anxious expressions, and the imperial physician was carefully taking the princess's pulse.

"What should I do? Why did I get sick when I was fine?"

"Yes! If His Majesty and the Queen blame us, we won't be able to bear the consequences."

……

"The Queen has arrived!" As the palace maid announced, everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Queen."

Zheng Xiyan entered the bedroom and nodded politely when she saw everyone. "Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, Queen."

At this time, the imperial physician had finished taking the second princess' pulse. He stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."

Zheng Xiyan asked anxiously: "How is the princess?"

The doctor replied, "Your Majesty, the Second Princess has only caught a cold, but she is still young, so we can't be careless. As long as we take good care of her and take medicine on time, she will recover soon."

Zheng Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression remained solemn. "Okay, I understand. You must take good care of the princess. If there is any situation, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial physicians and concubines answered in unison.

Zheng Xiyan stayed in the bedroom for a while, asking about the second princess's condition and daily care. After making sure that everything was under control, she left Shou'an Palace with peace of mind.
