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

Shoukang Palace

The Queen Mother had already learned what happened last night and knew that Concubine Xu's child was gone. Xiao Xuanchen gave Concubine Su the white silk, but she always felt that the matter was not that simple.

"Where is the Queen?" The Queen Mother had not changed her clothes yet. She was sitting on the couch in her pajamas.

"I guess he should still be in Minghua Palace now." Nanny Yu reported.

"How dare a mere beauty frame the dragon heir? Where does she get the courage? This matter is not that simple." The Queen Mother's face darkened and her expression was very serious.

Yu Ma also thought so, but as a palace maid, she did not dare to say anything, "Queen Dowager, His Majesty has already issued an order to grant Lady Su the white silk. Do you want to take care of this matter?"

"Has Concubine Su been dealt with?" The Queen Mother frowned and asked.

"Probably not now, but I think it will be a matter of time." Nanny Yu replied.

The Queen Mother quickly ordered, "Go with my imperial decree and save Lady Su first."

"Queen, please forgive me for saying so much, but it is better for you not to interfere in this matter."

“If I don’t intervene, the Queen will have no choice but to let the Emperor do whatever he wants. There are too many wronged souls in this palace, and I can’t bear to see another one being created in vain.” The Queen Mother said in a solemn voice. She was just like the Queen back then, allowing the late Emperor to deal with innocent people indiscriminately. Now, she doesn’t want another wronged soul to be created in this palace.

"The slaves obey."

Just as Yu Mama left Shoukang Palace, Zheng Xiyan arrived. She looked at the figure from afar and thought it looked like Yu Mama. "Is that Yu Mama in front?"

"It seems so." Biluo said quickly after seeing it clearly.

Zheng Xiyan got off the phoenix carriage and ordered someone to go in and report.

Inside the bedroom, the maid was helping the empress dowager change her clothes when a palace servant came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the queen is outside asking to see you."

"Please come in, Queen." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan walked into the main hall. The Queen Mother had only changed her clothes and her hair was not combed yet. "The Queen is here."

"Your son pays his respects to your mother." Zheng Xiyan walked forward and bowed.

"Get up!" said the Queen Mother.

"I have ordered Nanny Yu to take my imperial decree to rescue Lady Su."

Zheng Xiyan was shocked. She thought the Queen Mother would not interfere in this matter. "My Queen Mother is wise. Please forgive my incompetence." Zheng Xiyan then knelt on the ground and apologized.

After the Queen Mother sat down, she said helplessly: "It's not your fault. The Emperor insisted on doing what he wanted. What can you do?"

"But mother, His Majesty has already determined that Concubine Su was responsible for this, and I am afraid..." Zheng Xiyan knew very well that Xiao Xuanchen most likely knew, or perhaps had guessed, that the person who harmed Concubine Xu was Murong Yue.

"I know what you are worried about, but I have spent most of my life in this harem and have seen too many people die unjustly. I don't want another wronged soul to appear in this palace." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xiyan's eyes suddenly became firm, "I understand, I will follow your mother's arrangements in everything."

"Get up first!"

"Thank you, mother."

Zheng Xiyan stood up and sat beside her, then said, "What does the Queen Mother want to do?"

"Do you already know who is responsible for this?" The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at her, with a look of scrutiny and examination in her eyes.

Zheng Xiyan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty will not believe me because I have no evidence."

"Evidence? Even if you have evidence, there's nothing you can do if he doesn't want to believe it. I know my son too well." The Queen Mother's eyes were deep and dark.

"Then mother wants to..." Zheng Xiyan spoke carefully.

"If I were you, I would start with that eunuch." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

"But that eunuch has been sentenced to death by His Majesty." Zheng Xiyan thought the same as the Empress Dowager, but now the person is dead and there is no evidence.

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Why do you think he dared to do this? He even risked being sentenced to death and was determined to do this. He is not afraid of death. This kind of person is the most terrifying."

Zheng Xiyan's eyes turned, and she instantly knew what to do, "I understand."

"Well, I don't need to teach you the rest!" said the Queen Mother with a serious expression.

"Thank you, mother, for your guidance."

After Zheng Xiyan left Shoukang Palace, she instructed Biluo, "Order someone to keep an eye on Jinhua Palace and its servants to see who has left the palace recently. Also send someone out of the palace to investigate the family of the eunuch who was sentenced to death."

"I understand. But can this really save Lady Su? Will Your Majesty..."

"At this point, we can only try our best." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Where was Lady Su taken?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

"He should be in the prison. I believe that Nanny Yu should have rescued him by now." Biluo said.

"Let's go back to Weiyang Palace first!"

"Yes!"

Nanny Yu rescued the man and brought him back to Shoukang Palace.

Lady Su knelt before the Queen Mother crying and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you very much, Queen Mother, for saving my life. Thank you very much, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother gave Nanny Yu a look, indicating that she should help the man up.

Nanny Yu stepped forward and helped Lady Su up, "Lady Su, you get up first."

"Thank you, Madam." Lady Su said with a choked voice.

"Many years ago, there was a concubine in this palace who suffered the same injustice as you, and was sentenced to death by the late emperor. I failed to save her at that time, and have always felt resentful about it. I don't want such a thing to happen again in this palace, and no one to be wrongly killed for no reason again." The Empress Dowager said with emotion, with guilt in her eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It was really not I who caused Concubine Xu's child." Concubine Su defended herself.

"I know you are just a little beauty with a humble family background. How can you be so bold?"

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for trusting me. I am so grateful. I will definitely repay you in the future, even if it means my death!"

The Queen Mother consoled him, "Stay in Shoukang Palace. I will keep you safe. Leave the rest to the Queen!"

"Empress?" Concubine Su was a little shocked.

"The Queen has gone to look for evidence. I hope she can save you."

Su Meiren is still in a state of uncertainty. Having escaped death, her body is still shaking.

Jinhua Palace

Murong Yue was coaxing her daughter when Die Yun rushed in hurriedly, "It's bad, Imperial Concubine."

"What's the matter?" Murong Yue said impatiently.

"The Queen Mother ordered Nanny Yu to bring Concubine Su back to Shoukang Palace." Dieyun reported in panic.

"What did you say?" Murong Yue was shocked.

"My Lady, what should we do? The Queen has already started to suspect you, and now the Queen Mother is interfering in this matter, what if..."

"Shut up! It's impossible. His Majesty has already believed it. Even if the Queen Mother wants to save Concubine Su, it's not that easy. Don't panic. The more it comes to this point, the more you must not panic." Murong Yue forced herself to calm down.

Die Yun looked panicked, "My queen, Zhu Yun has been leaving the palace too frequently these past few days. If she is..."

"What are you afraid of?" Murong Yue asked loudly.
