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

In Shou'an Palace, several concubines temporarily put aside their previous differences and gathered together to celebrate the New Year. Looking at the fireworks in the direction of Weiyang Palace, they all had envious expressions on their faces.

Concubine Xu said to Concubine Li, "It's so beautiful! The fireworks in the direction of Weiyang Palace must have been prepared by His Majesty to please the Empress Dowager." Concubine Xu's face was full of envy.

"Yes! Your Majesty has always been filial and sensible!" Concubine Li smiled, but tears flashed in her eyes.

Looking at her daughter who was already asleep in the arms of her wet nurse, Concubine Xu felt a little comforted. This was already very good. Having a child to accompany her in the palace made her feel less lonely.

Concubine De looked very sad. Her son Xiao Chengye's face was full of smiles, but when he saw the loneliness in his mother's eyes, his expression changed instantly. He spoke carefully: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Aren't these fireworks beautiful?"

Concubine Dowager De pulled up a smile, touched his forehead and whispered, "No, mother just misses your father." She really loved him. She remembered that in previous years, the late emperor would watch the fireworks with all the concubines in the palace, but this year, she could only stay in this small Shou'an Palace, gazing in the direction of Weiyang Palace, and watching the fireworks that did not belong to her.

"Mother, don't be too sad. If my father in heaven knew that you have been sad, he would be worried too." Xiao Chengye comforted her.

"Okay." Concubine Dowager De nodded with satisfaction.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi, because they were punished two years ago, felt a little embarrassed, so they stayed in the bedroom and never went out.

"Mother, look, it's fireworks. Fireworks are being set off." Xiao Chengmu said, pointing outside.

Concubine Yi slowly stood up, looking a little lonely. After seeing the fireworks blooming outside, she felt even worse. She collapsed to the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, why did you leave like this..."

Xiao Chengmu was at a loss for a moment. Caiwei's face changed drastically. She immediately stepped forward and whispered, "My queen, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, you left us, an orphan and a widow, in this palace to be bullied..." Before she could finish her words, Caiwei covered her mouth to stop her. If these words were to reach the ears of the Empress Dowager, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xiao Chengmu looked dazed, his eyes wandering, not knowing what to do. His mother's temperament had changed drastically since she was confined, and she cried all day long. He wanted to comfort her, but she always scolded him...

"How dare you..." Concubine Yi slapped Caiwei in the face, murderous intent flashing in her eyes, "You are just a lowly palace servant, how dare you commit treason? Someone, take you away and slap you in the face!"

Caiwei's mind went blank after being slapped in the face, and there was even a buzzing sound in her ears. The palace servants knelt on the ground, not daring to respond.

……

The atmosphere on Concubine Xian's side was very heavy. Xiao Chengjing heard fireworks being set off outside and was about to go out to see them when Concubine Xian coldly scolded him, "What are you doing?"

"Mother, there are more fireworks outside. Several ladies have gone to watch. My fourth brother and fourth sister are also here. I also want to..." Before Xiao Chengjing could finish his words, he was interrupted angrily by Concubine Xian, "You are not allowed to go. What is there to go for?"

Xiao Chengjing was frightened by her sudden roar and hurriedly said, "Yes, mother, mother, I won't go. I will listen to you." Xiao Chengjing knelt on the ground, looking submissive, which made people feel distressed.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" The senior palace maid beside Concubine Dowager Xian stepped forward to persuade her.

Concubine Xian didn't want to hear anything and threw everything on the table, "Ah..."

This night was really wonderful!

After Lu Chuyi finished her New Year's Eve vigil, she went straight to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. She felt slept uneasily, so she got up, put on her cloak, and opened the window. A gust of cold wind blew in, so she had to close it quickly again.

The night was long, and today, she felt the loneliness of the deep palace. The palace maid beside her woke up and said sleepily: "Your Majesty, why are you awake?" The palace maid hurriedly put on her clothes, took the candle from her hand, and helped her sit on the couch.

"I can't sleep!" Lu Chuyi whispered, his face full of sadness.

"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Guard Lu?" the palace maid asked carefully. The next second, Lu Chuyi's sharp eyes fell on her face.
