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

"Yes, I will listen to you, mother." Although Xiao Chengji was a little confused, he didn't think too much about it.

Afterwards, General Hongyuan made several further memorials, and Xiao Chengji finally agreed to take back the military power.

……

On this day, Xuanhua took the children to leave Beijing. Outside the city, Zheng Xiyan came to see her off on horseback, "Xuanhua, wait a minute!"

Xuanhua was sitting in the carriage. She recognized her voice and frowned slightly. A trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes. She once thought that the emperor's sister-in-law treated her sincerely...

The carriage stopped, and the person saw that it was the Queen Mother, and immediately knelt down to salute, "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

Zheng Xiyan got off the horse and walked quickly to the carriage, saying with a hint of pleading in her voice, "Xuanhua, I'll take you there!"

Xuanhua unconsciously clenched her hands and pretended to be calm, saying, "Thank you, Queen Mother. It's getting late, but I have to hurry on my way. I won't say any more to you, Queen Mother. Please forgive me!"

"Let's go!" Xuanhua said with a cold face.

"Xuanhua, after this separation, we don't know when we will meet again. Don't you have anything to say to me?" Zheng Xiyan frowned and her voice became a little choked.

Xuanhua glanced sideways, a trace of pain flashed across his face, and one hand stopped in mid-air, not pulling open the curtain for a long time.

She knew, she knew everything, everything that happened.

But what if she knew? She couldn't do anything, even if she knew that everything today was caused by her brother's own actions, and the sister-in-law also had her own difficulties.

But why? Why should she have to endure all this?

She didn't know how to face her, so she could only choose to escape, go far away, leave Shangjing City, leave this place of trouble.

"No, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please go back! Xuanhua is very grateful that Your Majesty the Queen Mother can come to see me off today!" Xuanhua's tone was very cold, without a trace of warmth.

"Butler, keep going!"

"Yes." The housekeeper looked at the Queen Mother in embarrassment and bowed respectfully, "Let's go!"

Zheng Xiyan did not stop her, but just stepped aside and watched the long line disappearing from her sight little by little. Her eyes were already filled with tears and her heart was very painful.

Zheng Xiyan stood there in a daze for a long time. The cold wind blew on her body, but she didn't feel cold at all.

Biluo was worried that she would catch a cold, so she stepped forward and advised, "Your Majesty, Princess Xuanhua has gone far away, let's go back to the palace! It's cold here, please take care of yourself!" As she said that, she put a cloak on her.

"Yes! Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace!" Shuang Ning also persuaded her.

A tear fell from Zheng Xiyan's eyes. She then turned around, got on the horse, and went back, "Gee~"

……

The night after returning to the palace, Zheng Xiyan had a high fever. All the imperial doctors on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau rushed to Weiyang Palace that night. When Xiao Chengji found out, he also rushed to Weiyang Palace immediately.

Zheng Xiyan's fever subsided when it was almost dawn. That night, she had a very long dream. In the dream, she did not enter the palace, nor did she get married. She had always lived in her grandmother's hometown.

Her grandmother grew up in Jiangnan, where the people are simple and the scenery is pleasant. When she was a child, her grandmother often told her stories about Jiangnan. She longed for it and always wanted to go and see it, but she never found a chance to go.

"My Queen, My Queen..." Biluo called her softly and kept shaking her body.

Zheng Xiyan was still a little dazed. She slowly opened her eyes, her lips were chapped, and her face was very pale. "The queen is awake, the imperial physician..."

For a moment, everyone in the bedroom became busy again. Zheng Xiyan felt dizzy and weak all over, without any strength at all.

……

After half a month of recuperation, Zheng Xiyan gradually recovered and her face finally looked a bit energetic.

That day, Princess Chengyang came to the palace to visit her and mentioned something to her, "The Lu family means that it has been so long since the incident, and Lu Ran should be reinstated."

"Your father and your grandmother also mean the same thing. After all, the Lu family is related to us by marriage, and Wanyan is your sister after all. In this matter, Lu Ran did not make a big mistake after all..."

Zheng Xiyan supported her forehead with one hand, her eyes drooped slightly, and a trace of impatience gradually appeared on her face. She interrupted her mother and said, "Mother, the imperial guards are all under the direct control of His Majesty. I have been ill for so long that I really don't have the energy to take care of these."

"Let's do this! Find a time and let my daughter talk to Ji'er about it!" Zheng Xiyan replied perfunctorily.

Princess Chengyang knew her daughter best, so what she said meant that she disagreed.

"Okay." Princess Chengyang said with a smile.

After Princess Chengyang left, Zheng Xiyan had someone put a rocking chair in the pavilion. She lay down on it, slowly closed her eyes, looking very comfortable.

It is summer now and the sun is not too glaring today. Everything is just right.

During the days that Zheng Xiyan was recuperating, Xiao Chengyi and Xiao Shuyue seldom came to disturb her. Although she was sick, these days were the most comfortable and relaxed days she had had in all these years.
