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

"Your royal brother is not destined to become such an emperor." Zheng Xiyan said coldly. It is absolutely impossible for Xiao Xuanchen to be together for life. It is good enough that he does not use women. It is ridiculous to be together for life.

"Yes!" Princess Xuanhua looked disappointed.

Princess Xuanhua noticed from the corner of her eye that the emperor's sister-in-law's expression was a little strange, so she quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore, stay for lunch and have lunch with the emperor's sister-in-law!"

"Okay! That's exactly what I meant." Zheng Xiyan looked at her with a smile.

Shoukang Palace

Xiao Xuanchen sat opposite the empress dowager and ate his meal nonchalantly. The empress dowager gave a look to Nanny Yu beside her, and Nanny Yu retreated with the palace maids and eunuchs.

Only the mother and son were left in the hall. Xiao Xuanchen put down his chopsticks, his eyes dark and full of scrutiny, and asked, "I wonder why your mother asked me to come here?"

"What? I can't even have a meal with my son?" The Queen Mother's face changed and she said in a heavy tone.

"Of course not. But since my mother asked me to come here today, there must be something going on!" Xiao Xuanchen's momentum weakened and he asked very directly.

The Queen Mother picked up some food for him, her expression normal, and then she said in a very calm tone: "Queen and son, no one can move, including you."

"What do you mean, mother? Would I harm my own son?" Even in front of his mother, Xiao Xuanchen would not admit that he had the intention to harm the queen and her son.

"What are you going to do? You know very well that I won't expose you, but the queen is the one chosen by me. As long as I am alive, no one can touch her." The Queen Mother straightened her body, her eyes filled with gloom, and she looked at him sharply.

Xiao Xuanchen looked puzzled and asked, "Why does mother like the queen so much? Is it just because of Prince Chu and Princess Chengyang?"

"Then I would like to ask the Emperor, since your marriage to the Queen, has the deep love between you and the Queen been fake? If it was fake, why did you let the Queen get pregnant? You could have just not gone to Weiyang Palace, or even ignored her."

Xiao Xuanchen had no way to refute it. He did have feelings for Zheng Xiyan, but these feelings were not enough to make him lose his mind.

"Even if I have feelings for her, so what? In order to consolidate my power, I can only let her down. After all, she is the daughter of Duke Zheng. After all, the power behind her threatens my rule." Xiao Xuanchen became emotional and stood up suddenly.

The Queen Mother looked at him wrongly, her eyes full of disappointment, and her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Why have you become like this now?"

"Then what do you think, mother? From the moment I ascended the throne, I am no longer the Xiao Xuanchen of before. I am the Son of Heaven. Everything I do is for the country of Daliang and for our Xiao family." Xiao Xuanchen's eyes were as cold as ice, and he carried a gloomy and ruthless murderous aura.

"For the sake of Daliang? Are you doing this for the sake of Daliang or for yourself? You know it very well." The expression on the Empress Dowager's face did not change at all. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said in a cold voice.

"Mother! I am your son, why do you side with the Queen?" Xiao Xuanchen didn't understand. His mother was the Queen Mother of Daliang, his mother! Shouldn't she stand on his side? Why did she stand on the Queen's side?

"It's true that you are my son, but the Queen is the daughter-in-law I chose. I will never allow you to do anything that would harm the Queen and her son." The Queen Mother spoke word by word in a heavy voice.

"Mother!"

"If anything happens to the queen or her unborn child, I will never forgive you."

Xiao Xuanchen nonchalantly lowered his eyes, and his gaze suddenly focused. He slowly spoke, "I still have many memorials to review, so I will return to the Purple Palace first. I will take my leave."

After Xiao Xuanchen left, the Queen Mother was so angry that she picked up the plate on the table and threw it directly to the ground.

Nanny Yu came in and saw this scene. She quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "Why does the Queen Mother have to be angry with His Majesty?"

"He is determined not to keep the baby in the Queen's belly." The Queen Mother looked at everything in front of her with indifference, feeling furious.

"But after all, that child is your Majesty's flesh and blood! And now it is still unknown whether he is a prince or a princess."

"He is exactly like the old guy." The Queen Mother's eyes became grim. She thought that her son would at least be affectionate and righteous, and remember the old times. But she didn't expect that he would be even worse than his father!

Xiao Xuanchen left Shoukang Palace, got on the imperial sedan chair, and said, "Let's go back to Zichen Palace."

"Put it in the Zichen Palace."

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan and Princess Xuanhua were having lunch. Princess Xuanhua was in a very good mood and had a good appetite.

"The food in the Imperial Sister-in-law's palace is delicious." Princess Xuanhua ate happily, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"I've been suffering from morning sickness these days, so the food I cook is relatively light. Can you get used to it?"

"I'm used to it, it's delicious." It's not bad to change the taste.

"That's good."

Princess Xuanhua looked at her belly curiously and said, "I don't know if he is a nephew or a niece."

"After he was born, I took him out to play every day."

"it is good!"

After dinner, Zheng Xiyan wanted to take a nap, and Princess Xuanhua did not disturb her and left Weiyang Palace.

In the following two months, Xiao Xuanchen favored most of the new beauties who entered the palace, leaving Feng Qingyi alone, and a few other talented ladies.

That night, the people from the Jingshifang came, and Xiao Xuanchen asked, "Who else has I not favored?"

"Your Majesty, apart from a few low-ranking ladies, you have not summoned Concubine Feng to sleep with you yet." The man from the Imperial Household Department reminded them. Logically, Concubine Feng should have been summoned to sleep with you long ago, but...

The eunuch in front of the emperor was listening at the side, always tense and paying attention to his expression.

After a while, Xiao Xuanchen said, "Then let Concubine Feng sleep with you tonight!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch in front of the emperor was stunned. He thought that His Majesty would always ignore Concubine Feng? Unexpectedly, in just two months, he summoned Concubine Feng to sleep with him tonight.

Jinhua Palace

Feng Qingyi was extremely excited to learn that she would sleep with him tonight. She had waited for so long, and finally this day had come.

"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress."

"Everyone, get up! You all will have rewards." Feng Qingyi was so excited that she was about to cry. She had been in the palace for so long, and those with lower ranks than her had all slept with the emperor, but she had not. She wanted to cry whenever she thought of the grievances she had suffered during this period.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Feng Qingyi sat in front of the dressing table and dressed herself up. When she saw herself in the mirror, she was in high spirits. She was extremely happy when she thought about arriving at the Zichen Palace.

"I have finally waited for this day."

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan was sitting in front of the dressing table removing her makeup when Biluo walked in quietly, leaned over, and said to her, "Your Majesty has summoned Concubine Feng to sleep with you tonight."

"It's finally her turn." Zheng Xiyan said in a light tone with a slight smile on her lips.

"There is one thing I don't understand."

"explain."

"Empress Feng is the daughter of General Huoqi. She is the most noble among the concubines, except for Empress Rong. Even if she angered His Majesty before, His Majesty should not have delayed summoning her to bed. Is there any reason for this?"

Biluo's words also woke Zheng Xiyan up.

In the past two months, although Xiao Xuanchen came to Weiyang Palace every now and then, they were no longer as close as before.

He deliberately left Feng Qingyi alone for so long, was he planning something?

A thought suddenly flashed through Zheng Xiyan’s mind. Could it be that Feng Qingyi was the scapegoat he was looking for?

She gently stroked her bulging belly. She was already five months pregnant, but she still felt strange? After so long, he still hadn't made a move. Could it be that he wanted to borrow Feng Qingyi's hand?

In this way, she would have a miscarriage and Feng Qingyi would take the blame, and he could take back the military power from the General of Cavalry.

This is really a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone!

Zheng Xiyan's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a cold voice: "During this period of time, I must be extra careful about my diet."

Biluo was a little dazed and didn't quite understand, but she still obeyed obediently, "I understand."

Zheng Xiyan in the mirror had a cold expression on her face. She had already died once, and God had given her a chance to be reborn. She had nothing to be afraid of.

Princess Shion

Feng Qingyi was dressed as gorgeously as a flower, sitting in the bedroom, silently waiting for his arrival.

But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't see His Majesty.

Feng Qingyi was getting impatient, and kept repeating, "Why hasn't His Majesty come yet? It's already so late."

"Are you still reading memorials? It's so late already!"

Feng Qingyi kept muttering to herself and didn't notice the footsteps.

Xiao Xuanchen walked in and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"

Feng Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down and greeted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
