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

This was also one of the main reasons why Lu Xuan chose Cui Zhaoling. Naturally, his eldest daughter could only marry the heir of a prominent family in the future.

The night before returning to the palace, Lu Chuyi suddenly fell ill. The imperial physician said that she needed to rest and avoid being jostled. Zheng Xiyan then left a few palace maids to take care of her, and the rest returned to the palace as planned.

For a time, many people secretly discussed that Concubine Lu was really unlucky. She could have been ill at any time, but she had to be ill at this time. When she recovered, no one knew whether anyone would still remember her. She would probably be forgotten in this palace for the rest of her life.

After Lu Ran found out, he asked for a meeting outside, but Zheng Xiyan did not see him.

"Deputy Commander Lu, the queen has gone to bed, please go back!" Biluo replied calmly.

"Miss Biluo, please tell her again, I have something important to ask of the Queen Mother..." Lu Ran's expression was very anxious, and he was panicking. The temporary palace was different from the palace. Most of the concubines who lived in the temporary palace in the past were dismissed because of their mistakes. If Chu Yi stayed here, she would probably end up...

"Deputy Commander Lu, the queen has gone to bed, please go back!" After saying that, Biluo didn't give him a chance and went straight into the hall.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager..." Lu Ran rushed in regardless of anything, but was stopped by the guards outside.

"Deputy Commander Lu, please don't make things difficult for us!" said the leading guard with a serious face.

At this time, Zhang Sheng came over with his men, "Grand Commander!" Everyone made way for him. Zhang Sheng walked straight to Lu Ran, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Lu, Concubine Lu is only temporarily recuperating in the palace. After she recovers, the Empress Dowager will send someone to take her back to the palace. You are forcing your way in like this, which is a capital crime!"

Lu Ran clenched his fists, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, a voice came from not far away, "Husband..." It was Zheng Wanyan. After she learned the news, she rushed over immediately, followed by Princess Chengyang.

When Lu Ran saw Princess Chengyang, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Lu Ran greets the Princess!"

"We are all family, no need to be so polite!" Princess Chengyang said softly.

"Thank you, Princess!" Lu Ran looked very anxious and said in a panic, "Princess, please ask the Queen Mother to let Concubine Lu return to the palace to recuperate!"

“Most of the concubines who have lived in the palace for a long time have made mistakes and have been demoted to commoners. Princess, Lu Ran, please take into account the relationship between the Lu and Zheng families, please…” Lu Ran was about to kneel down, but Princess Chengyang stopped him quickly.

"Child, why do you need to perform such a great ceremony?" Princess Chengyang frowned slightly and said sternly.

"Ever since the death of the late emperor, Concubine Lu has been in poor health. Although this temporary palace is not as good as the palace, it is quiet. The Empress Dowager temporarily allowed Concubine Lu to recuperate in the temporary palace for the sake of her health. Lu Ran, I know you are worried about your sister, but the Empress Dowager did this entirely out of concern for Concubine Lu's health!" Princess Chengyang said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Husband, the imperial physician also said that Chuyi is not suitable for shaking right now and needs to rest. Sister is doing this for her health!" Zheng Wanyan also advised.

“But Princess, what if…” Lu Ran was still worried.

"There's no chance of that happening. For Wanyan's sake, the Empress Dowager will bring Concubine Lu back to the palace as soon as possible." Princess Chengyang comforted.

"Husband, if you are really worried, I will go and ask my sister tomorrow morning to let me stay and take care of Chuyi. You can rest assured." Zheng Wanyan said understandingly.

Lu Ran's eyes moved slightly, and he felt a little relieved, "Thank you, Madam!"

……

On the second day, Zheng Wanyan asked to see the Empress Dowager, while Zheng Xiyan sent someone to pass the message to Lu Chuyi, leaving it entirely up to her.

In the end, Zheng Wanyan stayed in the palace. After Xiao Chengji and Zheng Xiyan set off to return to the palace, Lu Chuyi told Zheng Wanyan everything.

Zheng Wanyan was very shocked and didn't say anything for a long time. She didn't know how she should react.

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, you..." Lu Chuyi frowned and said in a low voice, tugging her sleeve.

Zheng Wanyan's brows were knitted tightly, her lips were pressed into a straight line, she suddenly grabbed her hand, and said in a low voice: "Chu Yi, are you crazy? Do you know that if a concubine has an affair with someone else, it is a serious crime that will exterminate the entire clan!"

"Not only are you going to elope with him... you..." Zheng Wanyan's face was full of anger. She had been loved by her family since she was young. Compared with other girls in the boudoir, she was more unrestrained and lived a free life. However, she did not dare to do such a thing.

"Sister-in-law, the Empress Dowager also knows about this matter, and she has promised me that I can go wherever I want in the future, and she will help me arrange everything." Lu Chuyi said calmly.

"What did you say? Ah...Sister?" Zheng Wanyan was even more shocked. She didn't expect that her sister would...

Lu Chuyi remained calm and replied calmly: "Sister-in-law, you must keep this a secret for me and don't tell anyone."

"Sister-in-law, I know you really want to do this for my own good. Over the years, you have cared about me the most besides my brother. Even though this is risky, I want to give it a try!"

"Daliang has a vast territory and beautiful mountains and rivers, which makes people yearn for it! Now I have the opportunity to see everything, no matter what the price, I am willing to do it."

"Sister-in-law, maybe you think I'm too selfish, but the palace is too cold. I can't stay here for even a second. If I stay any longer, I'll really go crazy!" Lu Chuyi held her hand tightly and looked at her pleadingly.

Zheng Wanyan's eyes moved slightly when she heard these words, tears flashing in her eyes. The girl who always smiled when she saw her in the past, now told her that she was going crazy?

"Sister-in-law, you will promise me, right?" A tear fell from the corner of Lu Chuyi's eye and fell on the back of Zheng Wanyan's hand.

Zheng Wanyan felt sorry for her and said with a choked voice, "But Chuyi, your brother is very worried about you."

"If you leave, how are you going to explain to the palace?" Zheng Wanyan asked.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. The news of Concubine Lu's death will be announced at that time." Lu Chuyi whispered.

Zheng Wanyan's eyes widened instantly, and she spoke in a trembling voice: "This... Chuyi, do you know how grandma and the others can bear it if you do this!"

Lu Chuyi felt very sad, but she had to do it. "But this is my only chance to regain my freedom. The Lu family has lost an unfilial daughter. Over time, they will slowly forget the pain."

"He is my brother. I hope my sister-in-law will comfort him well in the future. Chuyi is very happy to have him as her brother in this life!" Lu Chuyi said with tears in her eyes and a slight smile on her lips.

"If you really do this, your brother will definitely be sad and blame himself. Can you bear to treat him like this?" Zheng Wanyan was a little angry. In her opinion, her sister-in-law was too willful. So was her elder sister. How could she be so presumptuous and confused?

Lu Chuyi pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head guiltily. The person she least wanted to hurt was her brother. "Sister-in-law, if brother really wants to...then tell him that I am free and living happily on the other side far away."

Lu Chuyi hugged her, tears rolling down like beads from a broken string.

"Sister-in-law, you don't understand the loneliness and depression of a woman in the deep palace, but fortunately, I met a kind person like the Queen Mother."

Zheng Wanyan's eyes narrowed and she remained silent...

A month later, news came from the palace that Concubine Lu had passed away. The Lu family found it hard to accept it for a while. Lu Ran went to the palace in person, but what he saw was his sister's coffin.

Lu Ran knelt in front of her coffin, crying bitterly. Zheng Wanyan couldn't bear to see him so sad, so she told him the truth...

After three days of rest, Lu Chuyi was buried in the concubine's tomb.
