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

At this time, a guard came in, knelt in front of Xiao Xuanchen, and said, "Your Majesty, someone has confessed."

"Speak!" Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

"It was the eunuch next to Concubine Su. He said that Concubine Su had instructed him to knock out the eunuchs and palace maids who were on night watch, and even replaced the incense in the palace. He also took the opportunity to enter the bedroom and sprinkle some water in front of Concubine Xu's bed."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Su Meiren.

Murong Yue immediately raised her eyes and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, look, it is indeed her."

Concubine Su's face was full of panic, "No! Your Majesty, it's not me. I was wronged. I was really wronged. Please Your Majesty, please look at it clearly!" Concubine Su grabbed Xiao Xuanchen's robe and was really panicked.

Xiao Xuanchen was furious and slapped her in the face, "Bitch! How dare you quibble?"

"Your Majesty! It's really not me, Your Majesty, you can see clearly!" Concubine Su only felt a burning pain on her face, but she still defended herself.

Zheng Xiyan's face was gloomy, and she glanced at Murong Yue fiercely, then said, "Your Majesty, just based on what a eunuch said, we cannot conclude that Concubine Su was responsible."

"What does the Queen mean? Do you think I have wronged Concubine Su?" Xiao Xuanchen asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, what if someone instructs him to frame Concubine Su?" Zheng Xiyan continued.

Xiao Xuanchen walked towards her, his eyes filled with coldness, "Who do you think it is, Queen?"

"Your Majesty! Concubine Su, Concubine Li and Concubine Xu live together in Minghua Palace. If something happens to Concubine Xu, the two of them will be immediately suspected. I don't think Concubine Su would be so stupid." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"What if she is so stupid? Why is the Queen so partial to Concubine Su?" A look of displeasure gradually appeared on Xiao Xuanchen's face.

"I'm just afraid of wrongly accusing a good person and letting the real murderer go unpunished." Zheng Xiyan explained calmly.

There was already anger on Xiao Xuanchen's face, and he was very dissatisfied with her. Zheng Xiyan knew that she couldn't disobey him, but this matter was really strange.

Moreover, Murong Yue's reaction was too abnormal. She didn't believe that Xiao Xuanchen would not notice it and not doubt her. Compared with Concubine Su, Murong Yue was more suspicious.

Xiao Xuanchen could take this opportunity to get rid of Murong Yue and hold the Murong family accountable.

He had taken the opportunity to get rid of Feng Qingyi before, but now that such a good opportunity was in front of him, why was he indifferent? He also didn't dote on Murong Yue too much, so why?

"Are you saying, Queen, that I have wronged a good person?" Xiao Xuanchen's face was filled with anger, and he could no longer suppress it.

"I dare not." Zheng Xiyan said hurriedly.

"It's good that you don't dare! Concubine Su plotted to murder the royal heir and was awarded white silk!" Xiao Xuanchen said angrily.

Concubine Su collapsed to the ground and cried, "Your Majesty! I am truly innocent. I did not murder the heir to the throne. Your Majesty, please understand! I am innocent. Your Majesty, please save me, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Two guards stepped forward, picked up Su Meiren and dragged him out.

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Xiyan wanted to plead, but was interrupted by Xiao Xuanchen, "Enough! This matter ends here. The Queen is not good at managing the harem, so this happened. I am thinking that the Queen will have to raise Ji'er, so it is inevitable that she will be a little tired. From now on, Concubine Rong will assist the Queen in managing the six palaces."

After these words came out, even Murong Yue didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise, "Your Majesty! I am unworthy of this."

"As a noble concubine, you can assist the queen and work with the six palaces." Xiao Xuanchen continued.

"Yes! I will obey your command and thank Your Majesty for your grace." Murong Yue was delighted and thanked him quickly.

Zheng Xiyan finally understood why he did this. It turned out that he did it to check and balance her. No wonder he turned a blind eye and did not choose to get rid of Murong Yue.

Xiao Xuanchen, ah Xiao Xuanchen, you are so cruel.

Xiao Xuanchen walked towards Zheng Xiyan and said coldly: "Does the Queen have any objections?"

Zheng Xiyan had a calm expression on her face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection."

"That's good. After Concubine Xu's miscarriage, there must be no mistakes with Concubine Xi, Concubine Shen's fetus. As the master of the six palaces, the Queen has the responsibility and obligation to take care of them." Xiao Xuanchen's eyes were full of indifference and his expression was very cold and ruthless.

"Your Majesty is right. I will keep it in mind and take good care of them so that they can give birth to princes and princesses safely." Zheng Xiyan said with her eyes lowered.

"I'm tired after working so hard for most of the day. Queen, please stay here and wait for Concubine Xu to wake up!" After saying that, Xiao Xuanchen waved his sleeves and left.

"Yes!"

"Go back to Zichen Palace." Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

"Yes! Let's go to the Purple Palace."

After Xiao Xuanchen left, Zheng Xiyan's face became more gloomy. After a moment, she said, "You all should go back to the palace!"

"Yes, I will take my leave."

Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning looked at each other, Xi Muyao took her hand and said, "Let's go!"

Shen Chongyuan walked up to Zheng Xiyan, not knowing how to start, but she still comforted her: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has no intention of blaming you, please don't take it to heart."

"I'm fine. You're pregnant, so you should go back to the palace and rest!" Zheng Xiyan said calmly.

"Chen and concubine retire."

The concubines left one after another, but Murong Yue hadn't left yet. Zheng Xiyan said coldly, "The show is over, why are you still staying here?"

"What does the Queen mean? How come I don't understand?" A trace of guilt flashed across Murong Yue's face.

"My lord concubine, do you really think that Concubine Su was the one who killed Concubine Xu's dragon fetus?" Zheng Xiyan said meaningfully, looking at her with an ambiguous expression.

Murong Yue's heart tightened, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand, "Your Majesty has already convicted Lady Su, and I naturally believe in your Majesty's decision."

"Really?" Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly.

"You point the finger at Lady Su, do you think everything will be fine?" Zheng Xiyan pressed on, walked up to her, and looked at her sternly.

Murong Yue was a little panicked, but still pretended to be calm, "What do you mean, Madam? I don't understand."

"Don't understand? Two lives were lost just like that. I'm a little scared. Will there be ghosts haunting tonight?" Zheng Xiyan said softly.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. There are no such things as ghosts in this world. Even if there are, I am not afraid of them, because people in this world are scarier than ghosts. I'll take my leave!" Murong Yue bowed and left with a smile on her face.

After she left, Biluo helped Zheng Xiyan sit down, "Madam, since you suspect Concubine Rong, why don't you..."

"Because it's useless even if I say it." Xiao Xuanchen will not touch Murong Yue and the Murong family for now, because he will not watch her dominate the harem.

"But Concubine Su is innocent. Concubine Su has always been timid. Even if she hates Concubine Xu, she dare not harm the dragon heir!" Biluo said.

"Of course I know she is innocent." Zheng Xiyan's face was full of helplessness.
