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

After Xiao Xuanchen left Jinhua Palace, the eunuch in front of the emperor asked, "Your Majesty, are you going back to Zichen Palace?"

"No, let's go to Weiyang Palace. I'm going to see the Queen." Xiao Xuanchen said.

"Your Majesty, the Queen might be taking a nap right now." The eunuch said cautiously.

"I just want to go see her." Xiao Xuanchen insisted.

"Yes! Go to Weiyang Palace."

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan had lunch and went to bed.

Princess Chengyang had been guarding her side the whole time. After seeing her fall asleep, she quietly left the bedroom. But when she left the bedroom, she saw Xiao Xuanchen.

Princess Chengyang knelt down and greeted, "Your Majesty."

"No need to be so polite, mother-in-law." Xiao Xuanchen gave her a false support and was very respectful to Princess Chengyang.

Princess Chengyang was frightened by the word "mother-in-law". Although she was indeed the emperor's mother-in-law, he was his majesty after all, and the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects came first.

"Your Majesty, you really are embarrassing me." Princess Chengyang said in a low voice.

"You are my mother-in-law, and there is nothing wrong with me calling you that." Xiao Xuanchen said with a smile.

Princess Chengyang didn't dare to really respond to the call of mother-in-law, "But the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects cannot be abolished, Your Majesty, please don't call me like that anymore."

"All right!"

Princess Chengyang knelt down and saluted, then left the bedroom.

Xiao Xuanchen sat in the bedroom for a while before leaving and returning to the Zichen Hall.

Princess Chengyang stood at the window of the side hall and watched Xiao Xuanchen leave.

"Princess, His Majesty treats the Queen very well." Shuang Ning said in a low voice.

"Goodness at one moment does not mean goodness forever. Who knows how long your Majesty's kindness can last?" Princess Chengyang said calmly.

"But I think that the current situation is good enough!" Shuang Ning's reaction was a little slow.

Princess Chengyang smiled and said, "You are still young, there are some things you don't understand."

When Zheng Xiyan woke up, Biluo came in to help her change her clothes and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty came here not long after you fell asleep."

"How long have you been here?" There was no change on Zheng Xiyan's face.

"I just sat there for a while and then went back to the Purple Palace."

"Is he from Jinhua Palace?" Zheng Xiyan guessed.

"Yes!"

Biluo helped her to sit down in front of the dressing table, and Shuangning began to do her makeup.

"Your Majesty, have you been to Jinhua Palace frequently these days?" Zheng Xiyan continued to ask. It seemed that Xiao Xuanchen had not been to Jinhua Palace very often since Murong Yue became pregnant.

Biluo replied, "I only go there every few days, and I don't come to Weiyang Palace often."

In the previous life, Murong Yue was pregnant, and Xiao Xuanchen was extremely happy. He went to Jinhua Palace almost every day. What happened now?

"Who has been sleeping with you these days?" Zheng Xiyan was too lazy to ask about this now. It didn't matter who he favored.

Biluo looked puzzled and said, "Come to think of it, it seems that His Majesty hasn't summoned the concubines to sleep with him for a few days."

"Really?" Zheng Xiyan was confused. This shouldn't be the case!

"Yes! It's been seven or eight days." Biluo also felt a little strange.

Zheng Xiyan felt that this was unlike him, but it had nothing to do with her. "Forget it, this has nothing to do with me either."

But tonight, Xiao Xuanchen summoned Shen Aoning to sleep with him.

When Zheng Xiyan found out, she snorted softly. She knew that it was true.

Princess Shion

Shen Aoning sat on the bed in the bedroom, waiting for Xiao Xuanchen to arrive.

Xiao Xuanchen had been reading the memorials and forgot the time. The eunuch in front of the emperor came to remind him, "Your Majesty, it's late at night. Empress Zhaorong is still waiting for you in the bedroom."

"I understand." Xiao Xuanchen then remembered that there was someone waiting for him in the bedroom.

Xiao Xuanchen closed the memorial, then stood up and went into the bedroom.

The next day, after Xiao Xuanchen finished his morning court session, he went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother was playing with the parrot when Nanny Yu came over to report, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is here to pay his respects to you."

"I understand." The Queen Mother didn't react and continued to tease the parrot.

Xiao Xuanchen walked in, "Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother."

"Get up! It's so cold, why are you here at this hour?" The Queen Mother then turned around and looked at him.

"Your son has come to see the Queen Mother."

The two sat down and Nanny Yu served Xiao Xuanchen a cup of tea.

"I heard that you don't visit Concubine Rong often." The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice.

"I'm too busy." Xiao Xuanchen said perfunctorily with some impatience.

The Queen Mother was too lazy to care about him, but after all, Concubine Rong was pregnant with her grandson. "After all, Concubine Rong is pregnant. You should visit her more often and don't let her down."

Xiao Xuanchen asked in return: "Why does the Queen Mother suddenly care so much about Concubine Rong?"

"After all, she is pregnant with my grandson, so I naturally have to pay more attention to her. As a father, shouldn't you pay more attention to your own child?" The Empress Dowager said coldly.

"Yes, mother, your son has kept in mind what you taught me." Xiao Xuanchen said reluctantly.

As the queen mother, she naturally hopes that there will be as many royal descendants as possible. "Among the beautiful ladies who entered the palace together, there are also several talented women. You have not favored them yet. I am not blaming you, but now that they have entered the palace, you can't always treat them coldly."

"Mother is right." Xiao Xuanchen had a gloomy face and was in a bad mood.

"Just keep it in mind." Seeing his expression, the Queen Mother didn't want to say anything more.

Xiao Xuanchen quickly changed the subject. "Yes! By the way, I came here today to discuss Xuanhua's marriage with my mother."

The Queen Mother was also worried, "Do you have a candidate?"

"I do have a candidate."

"Which young master?"

"Mother, do you still remember the eldest son of General Weiyuan?" Xiao Xuanchen's eyes lit up, and his purpose was already very clear.

After Xiao Xuanchen said this, the Queen Mother knew his purpose. General Weiyuan commanded 200,000 troops in Daliang and had been guarding the western border for many years.

His eldest son, Helian Cheng, did not follow his father to the Western Border. He had been staying in Shangjing City with his mother for many years. However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was actually staying in Shangjing as a hostage.

"Are you going to take advantage of Xuanhua's marriage?" The Empress Dowager looked very dissatisfied.

"Mother! I did this for my own reasons. Helian Cheng is both civil and military, and he is also a handsome man. Mother has also seen him. Xuanhua will not go to the Western Territory with him, and will stay in Shangjing after marriage. There is nothing wrong with this marriage for Xuanhua, right?" Xiao Xuanchen hurriedly explained and analyzed the pros and cons.

The Queen Mother was well aware of the interests involved. If General Weiyuan had no daughter and the Helian family could not send their daughter into the palace, he would not have thought of letting Xuanhua marry Helian Chen.

"Are you really going to do this?" The Queen Mother asked solemnly, her expression twisted and very serious.

"Mother! Xuanhua is my only biological sister. I will not harm her." Xiao Xuanchen promised seriously.
