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

"But His Majesty has decreed her death, and no one can save her. Even if I want to save her, I am powerless. If I save her because I pity her, I will be going against His Majesty. With my current strength, I am not enough to compete with His Majesty. Now is not the time for a head-on confrontation." Zheng Xiyan's eyes became cold and her brows were tightly furrowed.

"Lady Su! What a pity." Zheng Xiyan's face was full of regret. She was innocent, but she couldn't save her.

Zheng Xiyan rubbed her eyebrows, her eyes revealing sadness and helplessness.

"Your Majesty, you have done your best." Biluo said softly to comfort her.

Zheng Xiyan clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred, and her hatred for Xiao Xuanchen deepened.

Doctor Jin then walked up to her, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xu is fine now. She only needs to rest for a few months and she will recover."

"How is she now?" Zheng Xiyan raised her eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"When Concubine Xu found out that the dragon fetus was gone, she was very sad and kept crying." Doctor Jin reported.

Zheng Xiyan slowly stood up and said, "I'll go see her."

"Mother, please."

Zheng Xiyan stepped into the bedroom. The smell of blood in the room had not yet dissipated. Concubine Xu on the bed was curled up and crying.

Zheng Xiyan sat beside the bed and walked over to comfort her, "Cry! Have a good cry. After crying, life still has to go on."

Concubine Xu looked haggard and pale, "Empress, why did Concubine Su want to harm my child? I just made things difficult for her a few times, why is she so cruel?" Concubine Xu asked while crying.

In this situation, Zheng Xiyan could only comfort her as much as possible and told her to be more positive. "Take care of yourself, you will have another child."

"Empress, can I have another child? I am not favored at all. It was not easy for the heaven to have mercy on me and let me have the opportunity to sleep with the emperor. I became pregnant with the heir, but why do you treat me like this? Why do you take my child away?"

"I will kill her, Your Majesty, I must kill her." Concubine Xu collapsed instantly, with a vicious look in her eyes.

"The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. If you do, you won't have the chance to conceive another heir." Zheng Xiyan patted her shoulder.

"what--"

Hearing her heart-wrenching cries, Zheng Xiyan felt sorry for her. The pain of losing a child can be imagined for a mother.

"I have lost my child, and Your Majesty didn't even say a word of comfort and pity. Your Majesty, will Your Majesty still remember me?" Concubine Xu said with tears on her face, looking hopeless.

"Your Majesty must have forgotten me. I will never have my own children in this life." Concubine Xu tilted her head, tears streaming down her face.

Zheng Xiyan remained silent and did not answer her, nor did she know how to answer her. She was just an ordinary concubine in the harem. To Xiao Xuanchen, there were many concubines like her, and in his eyes, she was no different from Concubine Su. One more was not too much, and one less was not too little.

By the time she recovers, Xiao Xuanchen will probably have completely forgotten about her, so how could he remember her?

Concubine Xu fainted from crying. Zheng Xiyan covered her with a quilt and left the bedroom.

The palace maids of Minghua Palace had all been caned and could not serve now. Zheng Xiyan had no choice but to keep the two palace maids of Weiyang Palace and ordered them, "Serve Concubine Xu well."

"The slaves obey."

The moment Zheng Xiyan stepped out of the hall, it was just dawn. She looked up at the sky. After being busy for most of the night, she could finally go back.

"Your Majesty, you've been tired for most of the night, please go back to the palace quickly!" Biluo said with concern.

Zheng Xiyan walked down the steps. At this time, Li Cairen suddenly rushed to her, knelt in front of her, and pleaded for Concubine Su, "Empress, please save Sister Su! Please save her. This matter really has nothing to do with her. She was wronged."

"I can act as a guarantor for Sister Su, Your Majesty, I beg you." Li Cairen kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Zheng Xiyan looked helpless, "I can't save her either. Your Majesty has spoken the truth, I can't disobey him!"

"But Sister Su is really innocent. She has always been timid. How could she harm Concubine Xu's child?" Li Cairen said with a choked voice.

"Talented Lady Li! No matter whether she is innocent or not, His Majesty has now determined that she was the one who did it, and this is her fate." Zheng Xiyan whispered.

"But can I just watch Sister Su die? Your Majesty, I can't just turn a blind eye. I really can't do it." Li Cairen has always been kind-hearted. After entering the palace, she has always been close to Concubine Su. She couldn't bear to see her end up like this.

Zheng Xiyan understood her good intentions. When Xiao Xuanchen was here, she had been begging for mercy. But after Xiao Xuanchen gave Concubine Su the white silk, she was completely frightened and collapsed on the ground, unable to speak.

When encountering such a thing for the first time, it is natural to be afraid, and it is even more natural to protect yourself.

"Why is this happening? Why on earth? Who wants to harm Sister Su and Concubine Xu? Sister Su never holds a grudge against anyone. Except for not being able to tolerate Concubine Xu's bullying and arguing with her a few times, she has really never offended anyone! But how can that person be so cruel? How can he kill two birds with one stone? "Li Cairen cried.

Zheng Xiyan didn't expect Murong Yue to be so cruel. In her previous life, she never cared about these fights. Perhaps because she didn't give birth to a prince, she was really panicked and embarked on this path of no return.

As expected! People change with the times. If you want to gain a foothold in this harem, you really have to be ruthless.

"Okay! You get up first." Zheng Xiyan bent down and helped her up.

Li Cairen cried so hard that tears could not stop. She said, "Empress, is there really no other way?"

"You have to understand that no matter what time, the first thing you have to do is to protect yourself. Your kindness and goodness may not help others, but will hurt yourself instead. Do you understand?" Zheng Xiyan said earnestly. Li Cairen is a kind person, and she doesn't want to annoy Xiao Xuanchen because of this matter.

"I understand," Li Cairen said crying.

"I will instruct the Eunuch Bureau to send a few palace maids to serve you first. After they recover from their injuries, they will come back to serve you." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Queen." Li Cairen burst into tears.

Zheng Xiyan couldn't bear to see her so sad. "You should get some rest. I'm going back to Weiyang Palace first."

"Your Highness the Queen is seen off respectfully."

After Zheng Xiyan left Minghua Palace, she got on the phoenix carriage and ordered, "Let's go to Shoukang Palace first."

"Yes!"
