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

Then, a trace of impatience flashed across Xiao Xuanchen's face, and he said in a cold voice: "Okay, I still have memorials to read, you go back first! I will visit you in the evening."

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Xi Muyao quickly bowed and prepared to leave, but Xiao Xuanchen spoke again.

"Don't forget to take Shen Zhaorong to Weiyang Palace to pay respects to the Queen." Xiao Xuanchen said solemnly without even raising his head.

Xi Muyao was stunned. She was somewhat dissatisfied with His Majesty's order, but she finally responded obediently, "I understand."

"Chen and concubine retire."

"Ok!"

Xi Muyao left the Purple Palace with a very cold expression. She got on the sedan chair and ordered, "Go to Minghua Palace."

"Yes!"

When they arrived at Minghua Palace, Shen Aoning was standing outside the main hall. When she saw the palace gate open, surprise flashed across her face and she hurried over, "Sister."

"Aoning." Xi Muyao walked forward with a smile.

The two men clasped hands tightly, "What is it? What does His Majesty say? Does he agree to lift my house arrest?" Shen Aoning asked anxiously.

"His Majesty has agreed to lift your house arrest." Xi Muyao said with a smile.

"That's great, sister." Shen Aoning's face was filled with excitement and joy. She was finally released from house arrest.

"But His Majesty wants us to go to the Weiyang Palace to pay respects to the Empress. Let's go now. You have been under house arrest for these days, and it is time for you to pay respects to the Empress." Xi Muyao comforted.

"My sister is right." Although Shen Aoning was reluctant, after this incident, she didn't dare to be willful anymore.

Shen Aoning took her arm, and the two of them left Minghua Palace and headed for Weiyang Palace.

"Sister, do you think the Queen is an enemy or a friend to us?" Shen Aoning asked.

Xi Muyao's eyes changed slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she spoke in a gloomy and unclear manner: "Ao Ning, remember, in this palace, except for you and me who are sisters, everyone else is our enemy."

"I understand." Shen Aoning's expression changed and he nodded with a firm look.

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan was looking at the account book when Shuang Ning walked in and said, "Madam, Xi Zhaoyi and Shen Zhaorong are here."

Zheng Xiyan already knew that Xiao Xuanchen had lifted Shen Aoning's house arrest. This child came at the right time. She closed the account book, rubbed her brows, and said in a deep voice: "Let them in."

"Yes!"

Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning walked in one after the other. Zheng Xiyan leaned on the couch with her eyebrows raised. The two came in front of her and bowed to her. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health."

"Everyone get up!" Xi Muyao lowered her eyes and said lazily.

"Thank you, Queen."

"Please sit down!" Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly.

Xi Muyao sat next to Zheng Xiyan. Biluo brought a chair and said to Shen Aoning, "Empress Zhaorong, please sit down!"

"it is good!"

"Since you are pregnant, you should be more kind in your words in the future. It will be a blessing for your child. Take good care of the fetus and don't do anything to cause trouble." Zheng Xiyan looked at Shen Aoning with sharp eyes and spoke in a very tough attitude.

Shen Aoning looked guilty and immediately agreed, "Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions."

Zheng Xiyan turned her head and looked at Xi Muyao, and said, "Xi Zhaoyi, you and Shen Zhaorong have been like sisters since childhood, and you entered the palace together to serve His Majesty. I envy your sisterhood very much."

"But today I also want to remind you that in this harem, it is most important to abide by the rules. Xi Zhaoyi has always been smart, and I believe you can understand what I say."

"I have said all that I need to say. You two should take care of yourselves!" After Zheng Xiyan finished speaking, she picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a small sip.

Xi Muyao looked a little embarrassed, but she still tried to hold on, forcing herself to remain calm, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Yes, I will follow your instructions!"

"Okay, everyone, please leave! From now on, Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital will take care of the dragon fetuses of both of you." Zheng Xiyan put the teacup on the table and said in a deep voice.

Xi Muyao's eyebrows turned slightly. She didn't trust Doctor Liu. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Zheng Xiyan, "Why? You don't trust Doctor Liu?"

Zheng Xiyan looked at the two of them with a look of scrutiny and assessment in her eyes, and her expression was very displeased.

"No, I just think..." Xi Muyao said.

Zheng Xiyan interrupted her again, her face darkened, and she said in a stern voice, "That's good, it's settled then."

"Yes!" Xi Muyao clenched her palms, frowned, and agreed almost with gritted teeth.

"Go back!"

"I'll take my leave." Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning stood up, bowed and left, both of them with unwillingness on their faces.

After they left, Shuang Ning came over and changed a new cup of tea, saying, "Madam, do you really want Imperial Doctor Liu to take care of them?"

"Doctor Liu is my man. I have my reasons for employing him." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"But is Doctor Liu reliable?" Shuang Ning was also worried that Doctor Liu would not be completely loyal to their queen.

"Among all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, except Doctor Jiang and Doctor Yuan, his medical skills are the best. What's more, I have the leverage over him. If he dares to be disloyal to me, he will have no chance of survival." Zheng Xiyan showed a vicious look on her face.

Not long after, Xiao Xuanchen ordered that Princess Changle's hundred-day banquet be held in Yaoguang Palace.

Xiao Xuanchen held the princess in his arms, but the princess kept crying, "Waaaaa~"

Murong Yue looked solemn, worried that His Majesty would be angry. Just as she was about to speak, Zheng Xiyan walked up to Xiao Xuanchen and said, "Your Majesty, let me comfort him!"

"Okay!" Xiao Xuanchen was also a little overwhelmed and immediately handed Princess Changle to Zheng Xiyan.

Zheng Xiyan took Princess Changle and coaxed her patiently, "Don't cry, don't cry."

Murong Yue's expression was tense. She shouldn't judge others by her own standards, but she was worried about the Queen...

But after a while, Princess Changle stopped crying. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It seems that Changle likes the Queen very much. The Emperor should get closer to his daughter."

"Your Majesty is right. I have been too busy these days and have no time to visit Changle." Xiao Xuanchen looked a little embarrassed.

Murong Yue came up at this time, took Princess Changle from Zheng Xiyan, and said, "Thank you, Queen."

"The princess is very well-behaved and cute." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise." Murong Yue said in a low voice with a blank expression.

"Bring the princess to Weiyang Palace more often in the future. Ji'er only has this one sister, and the two siblings should be closer." Zheng Xiyan could naturally see what she was thinking.

"Yes."

The two returned to their seats and sat down. The Queen Mother said, "One after another, concubines in the harem are pregnant. This is an unprecedented happy event. God bless our Daliang."

"Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty has many offspring, which is a blessing for Daliang."

"Yes!"

Halfway through the banquet, Zheng Xiyan felt that the hall was very stuffy, so she found an excuse to go out for some fresh air.

King Xiang, who was sitting below, saw her leave the table, and soon left his seat as well.

Biluo Shuangning accompanied Zheng Xiyan for a walk on the rockery behind, "My queen, we can't be out for too long, let's go back as soon as possible!"

Zheng Xiyan took a deep breath and said, "Yaoguang Palace is very stuffy. Today is Princess Changle's Hundred Days Banquet, and no one will notice me."

"Walk with me again."

"Yes."

Suddenly, when they passed a rockery, King Xiang suddenly appeared in front of her.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen!" Prince Xiang's eyes were always on Zheng Xiyan, very gentle and affectionate.

"King Xiang, please stand up!" Zheng Xiyan and the other two quickly took a few steps back. The moment he appeared just now, she was really frightened.

"Thank you, Queen!"

"Why do I always meet you every time I leave the table? Does Prince Xiang have a habit of following others?" Zheng Xiyan asked with a sullen face.

Prince Xiang smiled softly, and even the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye swayed, his smile was leisurely and shallow, "Even if I have it, I will only follow the queen."

"You two go and guard the front." Zheng Xiyan turned and said to Biluo and Shuangning.

"Yes."

Zheng Xiyan walked forward slowly, pressing forward step by step, and said in a cold voice: "Xiao Xuanqi, what exactly do you want to do? I remember that I told you very clearly last time."

"From now on, I hope you can stay away from me. Please respect yourself, King Xiang!"

King Xiang's whole body tensed up, and the moment she approached him, he seemed to be frozen. He should have been angry after hearing what she said, but he was not angry at all.

Zheng Xiyan turned around and left domineeringly. King Xiang looked at her back and smiled. His eyes curved, full of tenderness.

Biluo Shuangning saw her coming and hurried over, "My queen!"

"go back."

"Yes!"
