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

Outside the door, the guards looked at each other, but when they saw the Queen Mother, no one dared to step forward to stop them.

Eunuch Rong was about to step in to report, but was stopped by Zheng Xiyan's sharp eyes. He trembled and hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to even breathe.

Zheng Xiyan's heart was in turmoil. When she learned that the person inside was Lu Lingyuan, her face instantly turned gloomy, and her anger rose like a raging fire, burning her cheeks red. She was shocked and shocked. She never expected that her son would do such a ridiculous thing. It was simply ridiculous!

Zheng Xiyan forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart. She did not rush in to question them. She just stood at the door with a complicated look in her eyes, thinking about how to clean up this sudden mess.

Inside the side room, Xiao Chengji spoke again, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice: "Miss Lu, if you are still not satisfied, I will promise you everything! I will choose a suitable husband for you and marry you off according to the rules of a princess. This... are you satisfied with this?" After he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly in his heart. This was the first time in his life that he had been so humble and felt so sorry for someone.

Lu Lingyuan sat there blankly, her eyes were empty, her eye sockets were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any time. She looked at the emperor in front of her, feeling mixed emotions, grievance, fear, worry... all kinds of emotions intertwined, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengji became even more panicked. He sat there at a loss, with a hint of panic in his voice: "You... don't cry! I... I really don't want to..." However, his words did not seem to have any comforting effect, but instead made Lu Lingyuan's tears flow even more violently.

With a click, a crystal teardrop finally fell. Lu Lingyuan could no longer hold back. From last night till now, all the grievances and fears she had endured were vented out at this moment. Her cry was weak, with a kind of suppressed pain, as if she had lost the courage to cry out loud. She secretly lamented in her heart, why was she always the only one who got hurt, why was fate so unfair?

"You... Miss Lu, it's all my fault... I..." Xiao Chengji had never comforted anyone in his life. He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know where to put his hands.

Lu Lingyuan cried with tears streaming down her face, very sad.

Xiao Chengji walked back and forth in the room, really not knowing what to do.

Zheng Xiyan, who was outside the door, heard the crying inside, her face twisted, and she rushed in directly.

Xiao Chengji's eyes widened and he asked in shock, "Mother, why are you here?"

Zheng Xiyan stared at him fiercely, which made Xiao Chengji feel guilty. He kept avoiding her gaze and did not dare to look him in the face.

Lu Lingyuan was crying so hard that she was out of breath and her body was shaking. She looked really pitiful.

"You have done such a ridiculous thing and you have disappointed your mother so much." Zheng Xiyan's face was unusually solemn, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Chengji didn't dare to refute anything. He lowered his head and stood there guiltily like an ordinary child who had made a mistake.

"Mother, please calm down! I know I was wrong." Xiao Chengji admitted his mistake quickly and sincerely.

Zheng Xiyan's eyes fell on Lu Lingyuan. She was still wearing her wedding dress. Now... she felt guilty and distressed...

After Lu Lingyuan calmed down, Zheng Xiyan spoke in a gentle voice: "I will testify to what Ji'er said just now. If you are willing, I will immediately adopt you as my adopted daughter, and I will love you as my own daughter in the future."

"If you have someone you like, I can make the decision for you and marry you off in a grand manner. As long as I am around, I will never let you down." Zheng Xiyan stretched out her hands and held her hands, her face full of guilt.

Xiao Chengji, who was standing beside her, also looked at her expectantly.

Lu Lingyuan stopped crying, thought for a moment and replied, "Can the Empress Dowager and His Majesty keep their word?"

"Of course I keep my word!" Zheng Xiyan replied seriously.

"I swear in the name of the Emperor of Daliang that the promises I made to you, Lingyuan Lu, today are all true." Xiao Chengji said solemnly.
