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

"Mother..." Xiao Chengji's eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, he felt very sorry for his mother. He opened his arms and threw himself into her arms.

"Mother, you have suffered." Xiao Chengji said with a sob, crying very sadly. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never make his mother sad again in his life.

Zheng Xiyan couldn't hold back any longer and tears fell from her eyes again.

"Ji'er, promise your mother that you will be a good emperor who works hard to govern the country, is diligent in government and loves the people. An emperor can be ruthless, but not unrighteous. In the future, you will be like your father and will scheme against and use everyone for the sake of power. When that moment comes, your mother will not blame you. I just hope you can still remember what your mother said to you today." Zheng Xiyan actually knew very well that the emperor's throne was cold and hard, and the person sitting on it had to be colder and harder than it, otherwise how could he sit firmly?

There was a hint of doubt in Xiao Chengji's eyes. He didn't understand what his mother meant, but he still nodded vigorously.

Later, after Xiao Chengji personally led the army to seize power, facing the complicated situation in the court and the pressure from court officials, he actually understood his father's original choice for a moment.

The emperor is destined to be ruthless and lonely. After a long time, the person sitting on the throne will be the only one left by his side.

……

At the palace gate, when Prince Xiang's men saw Duke Zheng enter the palace, they immediately went back to report.

Xiao Xuanqi led his troops into the palace at the fastest speed and came all the way to the outside of the Purple Palace. When Lu Ran saw him leading his troops into the palace, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Your Highness Prince Xiang..."

Xiao Xuanqi looked at him fiercely and expressionlessly, walked up to him step by step, and said coldly: "Get out of the way!"

"What is your highness the Prince of Xiang doing? Bringing troops into the palace with weapons, are you planning a rebellion?" Lu Ran looked at him nervously, his eyes full of confusion. Could it be that the Prince of Xiang had never given up the throne...

"It has nothing to do with you, capture them!" King Xiang gave an order, and the people behind him immediately stepped forward and captured them all.

The two men were on the verge of a fight, and Lu Ran drew his sword and started fighting with him. Although he was a martial arts master, he was still slightly weaker than Xiao Xuanqi, who had fought on the battlefield and killed his way out of a pile of dead bodies.

Xiao Xuanqi was ruthless in every move, showing no mercy at all. After just a dozen rounds, Lu Ran had several scars on his body.

"You are not my opponent. I don't want to kill you today. Just get out of the way if you know what's good for you." Xiao Xuanqi's face was cold and his tone was cold without any warmth.

Lu Ran knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "Prince Xiang, have you been acting all these years? Everything you did to her was fake, right?"

Xiao Xuanqi clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes darkened, his brows knitted tightly, and his eyes dodged for a moment, "What happened between her and me has nothing to do with you, take her away!"

"Yes." Jing Yang stepped forward and waved his hand. Lu Ran was taken away with an unwilling look on his face.

The door of the Zichen Palace was pushed open, and Xiao Xuanqi stepped in. His eyes were dark and his face was gloomy. He was looking forward to her expression when she saw him.

Inside the hall, Zheng Xiyan had already heard the noise outside, and she quickly asked her grandfather and father to take Ji'er into the inner room. She stood alone in the middle of the hall to deal with Xiao Xuanqi.

The door was slowly pushed open, and in the dark night, Xiao Xuanqi's gloomy face appeared in front of Zheng Xiyan.

Zheng Xiyan pretended to be calm and stared at him intently.

Xiao Xuanqi looked at her, his eyes gradually became gentle, the corners of his mouth raised, and he chuckled: "Why? Are you surprised to see me?"

Zheng Xiyan snorted disdainfully from the depths of her throat, "Xiao Xuanqi, you hid it well enough! Once upon a time, I really thought you had given up, and let it go for me, but now, I was just being too sentimental."

Xiao Xuanqi knew that these words were a mockery of him, but he was not angry. Instead, he moved closer to her step by step, and then pulled her into his arms. Unable to control his emotions, his bony hand slowly fell on the side of her face. His breathing became increasingly disordered, and the desire in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Yan'er... do you know? I have been waiting for this moment for how long. Xiao Xuanchen is finally dead, and you are finally mine..." Xiao Xuanqi held her waist and pressed forward step by step. Just when he was about to kiss her, Zheng Xiyan pushed him away with all her strength.

"You lunatic, get out of here!" Zheng Xiyan shouted, her voice a little broken.

Xiao Xuanqi's expression suddenly changed, his eyes became sinister, and he roared and questioned her: "Xiao Xuanqi is already dead. He treated you like that. Do you want to remain a virgin for him?"

"Yan'er, you are still so young, in the prime of your youth. Do you want to be a widow for him your whole life? Or, you and Lu Ran..."

"Shut up!" Zheng Xiyan shouted at him.
