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

That night, Xiao Xuanchen went to Jinhua Palace.

Zheng Xiyan returned to Weiyang Palace and soon coaxed her son to sleep.

For some time afterwards, the harem was peaceful and tranquil. But on this night, Zheng Xiyan was sleeping soundly when Biluo ran in in a hurry, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Zheng Xiyan was woken up and was very unhappy. She asked lazily, "What happened?"

"It's bad, Your Majesty. Concubine Xu has had a miscarriage. The imperial physician said that it might not be good." Biluo's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xiyan sat up suddenly, her eyes widened, a little unbelievable, "What did you say? You suddenly got a miscarriage?"

"I don't know the details. His Majesty has already gone to Jinghe Palace." Biluo said as she lit the candle.

Zheng Xiyan ordered: "Change my clothes and go to Jinghe Palace."

"Yes!"

Biluo Shuangning was very skillful in helping Zheng Xiyan dress. After she was dressed, Zheng Xiyan instructed, "Let Zirui and Ziluo go to the side hall and look after Ji'er with the wet nurse."

"Yes!"

Biluo had ordered people to prepare the phoenix carriage. The two of them left Weiyang Palace with Zheng Xiyan. Zheng Xiyan sat on the phoenix carriage and headed for Jinghe Palace.

"Hurry up." Biluo urged.

"Yes!"

Outside Jinghe Palace, Zheng Xiyan vaguely saw Xiao Xuanchen's imperial sedan coming from the opposite side.

The two of them arrived outside Jinghe Palace almost at the same time. Zheng Xiyan got off the phoenix carriage, walked up to him and bowed, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Don't be so polite." Xiao Xuanchen looked hurried and gave Zheng Xiyan a light support.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I, my concubine, see you, the Queen."

It was too dark just now, and Zheng Xiyan didn't notice Xi Muyao behind him. He only noticed it after hearing the voice, "Get up!"

"Your Majesty, let's go in and see Concubine Xu!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

Xiao Xuanchen walked in front, followed by Zheng Xiyan. When Xi Muyao was about to go in, she was stopped by a voice, "Sister!"

"Ao Ning." After Xi Muyao saw who it was, she walked towards her.

Shen Aoning came over, Xi Muyao held her hand, and asked in surprise: "Sister, what's going on? Why did Concubine Xu suddenly..."

"I don't know either. His Majesty and the Queen are here. Let's go in and take a look." Xi Muyao patted her hands and the two of them walked in.

"it is good!"

In the bedroom, Concubine Xu was crying out heartbreakingly: "My child, my child."

"Your Majesty is here!"

When Concubine Xu heard that the emperor had arrived, she immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, someone is trying to harm me and our children."

Xiao Xuanchen could not enter the bedroom because it was a filthy place, so he said to Zheng Xiyan, "Queen, go in and take a look at Concubine Xu."

"Yes." Zheng Xiyan walked into the bedroom. As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong smell of blood. She subconsciously took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.

Doctor Jiang was guarding inside. When he saw her come in, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Queen."

"Doctor Jiang, how is Concubine Xu?" Zheng Xiyan asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the Queen, I'm afraid the dragon fetus in Concubine Xu's belly cannot be saved." Doctor Jiang looked nervous and flustered, with sweat on his forehead.

"It can't be saved? How could it be so serious?" Zheng Xiyan's face turned pale in an instant and she asked in a cold voice.

"Concubine Xu fell down, and I have done my best." Imperial Doctor Jiang knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"Why did she fall for no reason?" Zheng Xiyan glanced at the palace maids in the hall. This matter must not be that simple.

After Zheng Xiyan walked out of the bedroom, she found that almost all the concubines from all the palaces had arrived.

Xiao Xuanchen was sitting nearby, and his worry was still visible on his face. When he saw her coming out, he quickly asked, "How is Concubine Xu?"

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The dragon fetus in Concubine Xu's belly can no longer be saved." Zheng Xiyan lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

Xiao Xuanchen frowned and said angrily, "What on earth is going on? Why did you have a miscarriage out of nowhere?"

The concubines in the palace all had a look of fear on their faces. They stood where they were, not daring to breathe.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zheng Xiyan quickly called Xu Jieyu's personal maid Wuhua, who knelt on the ground. Zheng Xiyan said coldly, "Tell me! What happened? How did Xu Jieyu fall down for no reason? How did you serve Xu Jieyu?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't know either. The concubine woke up in the middle of the night and accidentally slipped when she got out of bed." Wu Hua's face was full of horror.

"Why did you slip for no reason?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

"I...I don't know either. I was waiting outside. When I heard the concubine's cry, I hurried in. When I helped the concubine up, she had already seen blood." Wu Hua was so scared that she was shaking all over.

"But strangely enough, I discovered that there was water on the ground just now. Concubine Jieyu must have accidentally stepped on the water and slipped."

"Where does the water come from?" Xiao Xuanchen said angrily.

"This slave doesn't know either."

Xiao Xuanchen looked annoyed, "As the head of the harem, the queen must get to the bottom of this matter."

"I obey your command." Zheng Xiyan was also in a bad mood and glanced at everyone casually. Concubine Xu had a miscarriage, there must be someone framing her, otherwise, why would someone pour water in front of Concubine Xu's bed for no reason.

Xi Muyao held Shen Aoning's hand tightly and said softly, "This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't be nervous."

"Ah."

"Are you the only one on guard in the hall tonight?" Xiao Xuanchen walked up to Wu Hua and asked condescendingly.

Wu Hua's lips trembled as he said, "Your Majesty, yes!"

"In other words, you are most likely to enter the bedroom and pour the water on the ground." Xiao Xuanchen's eyes turned cold and he looked at her with a gloomy expression.

"No! It's not me, it's really not me, Your Majesty, you can see it clearly!" Wuhua hurriedly explained.

Zheng Xiyan felt that it couldn't be her. If she did that, it would be too obvious. "I want to ask you, besides you, has anyone else entered the bedroom?"

Wu Hua said helplessly: "I don't know. After the Concubine went to bed, I fell asleep not long after. I really don't know!"

"How outrageous!" Xiao Xuanchen said angrily.

When he got angry, everyone in the hall knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"You are Concubine Xu's personal maid. How dare you fall asleep while on guard tonight?" Xiao Xuanchen was furious, his face full of majesty.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong!" Wuhua kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.

Zheng Xiyan asked again: "Where is the person guarding outside the palace tonight? Didn't he see anyone coming in?"

Wu Hua shook her head vigorously, "I really don't know, Queen, it really wasn't my fault."

Seeing her like this, Zheng Xiyan couldn't get anything out of her. "Who is the eunuch guarding outside the palace tonight?"

All the palace people in Jinghe Palace were here, but no one stood up. Xiao Xuanchen instantly became furious, "The Queen is questioning you, are you all deaf?"

"Little Li is on guard tonight, but he..." a young eunuch began hesitantly.

"Where are the others?" Zheng Xiyan asked coldly.
