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

"Your Majesty, I am really scared. If the Queen really finds out something, then we will..." Before Die Yun could finish her words, she was interrupted by Murong Yue's cold voice.

"I told you to shut up, are you deaf?" Murong Yue said angrily, her face turned blue and her eyes were wide open.

"Yes! I deserve to die." Die Yun was so frightened that she trembled all over and dared not speak anymore, but she was very scared in her heart. Once the truth was revealed, she would not be able to escape the death penalty.

After the morning court session, Xiao Xuanchen learned that Concubine Su was brought back to Shoukang Palace by Nanny Yu. He went directly to Shoukang Palace without even changing his court clothes.

"Go to Shoukang Palace." Xiao Xuanchen's face showed some anger and dissatisfaction.

Xiao Xuanchen sat on the imperial carriage and then asked, "Where is the queen?"

"After the Queen came out of Minghua Palace, she went to Shoukang Palace. After a while, she returned to Weiyang Palace." The eunuch in front of the emperor carefully observed Xiao Xuanchen's face, his spirits tense.

"What exactly does mother want to do?" Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

The eunuch in front of the emperor spoke carefully, "Your Majesty! The Queen Mother may find this matter suspicious."

"Strange?" Xiao Xuanchen's eyebrows raised, his voice became sharp, and his eyes flashed with anger.

"I am sorry for speaking too much, Your Majesty." The eunuch in front of the emperor begged for mercy.

When he arrived at Shoukang Palace, the empress dowager was already sitting in the main hall waiting for him.

Xiao Xuanchen ordered: "Everyone retreat!"

"Yes!" The eunuch and others stayed outside Shoukang Palace and did not follow him in.

The Queen Mother in the palace ordered Yu Mama, "Let them all leave, and you should leave too!"

"Yes!"

Nanny Yu led the palace maids out, and when she saw Xiao Xuanchen, she bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen ignored her and stepped directly into the palace. He walked in front of the Queen Mother and saluted with a cold face, "Your son greets you, the Queen Mother."

"The Emperor just came out of the morning court and hasn't even changed out of his court robes. Why is he here?" The Empress Dowager spoke in an unfriendly tone without even looking at Xiao Xuanchen.

Xiao Xuanchen looked up at her, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Why did the Queen Mother save Lady Su?"

"Doesn't the emperor know why I did this? Concubine Su was just a scapegoat. You should have guessed who the person who harmed Concubine Xu is." The Empress Dowager frowned and her eyes became dark.

"Mother, who was the one who harmed Concubine Xu? I don't care at all. It's just about sacrificing a beauty Su. Why do you have to go against your son?" Xiao Xuanchen's eyes showed confusion.

"It's just sacrificing Su Meiren, that's a human life. How can you take it for granted? What's in your heart? How can you be so cold-blooded?" The Queen Mother widened her eyes. Even though she knew what kind of person her son was, she still couldn't believe it.

Xiao Xuanchen sneered, "Mother! You have been in the harem for so many years, why are you still so soft-hearted?"

"Am I soft-hearted?" the Queen Mother whispered.

Xiao Xuanchen's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "Since ancient times, which emperor's hands were clean? It's not that I am cold-blooded and ruthless, but that everyone who sits on the throne must be cold-blooded and ruthless. These women in the harem are all chess pieces. If they are valuable, I will continue to favor them. If they are useless, I will discard them. Anyway, there are many chess pieces, so I am not afraid of losing one."

At this moment, the Empress Dowager felt that her son was even more cruel and ruthless than her husband and the late emperor.

"Great! You are really a good son of mine." The Queen Mother said helplessly.

"Mother! The matter was originally over, but you asked someone to rescue Concubine Su." Suddenly, Xiao Xuanchen thought of something and changed the subject. He half-closed his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother with suspicion, "Could it be that the Queen came to ask you for help, so you softened your heart and helped her?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the Queen. Before she came to Shoukang Palace, I had already sent Nanny Yu to the prison." The Queen Mother retorted quickly.

"Mother, just pretend you don't know anything about this matter. I will handle it." Xiao Xuanchen said decisively.

"What if I must save Concubine Su today? What are your plans?" The Queen Mother's attitude suddenly became tough.

Xiao Xuanchen had a solemn face and said in a low voice: "I don't want to make my mother angry, but I will never give in on this matter."

"Okay." The Queen Mother said loudly, her face flushed with anger.

"I can stop pursuing this matter, but Concubine Su cannot die. I will secretly send her out of the palace. There are many death row prisoners in the prison, so it won't be difficult to find someone to replace Concubine Su." The Queen Mother finally chose to take a step back. Protecting Concubine Su was the most important thing.

"Your son really doesn't understand why mother wants to save Concubine Su? Is it really because of the Queen?" Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

"It has nothing to do with the Queen. I just don't want to see another wronged soul in this palace."

Xiao Xuanchen finally compromised, "Okay! I'll listen to my mother and send Concubine Su out of the palace."

"As for the Queen, you don't have to worry about it. I will inform her."

"Yes! Then I'll take my leave first." Xiao Xuanchen bowed and turned away.

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan was sitting on the Phoenix Throne, holding a jade ruyi in her hand, with a complicated expression on her face. Biluo ordered people to prepare breakfast and walked up to her, "My queen, you have been tired for most of the night and must be hungry. Let's have breakfast first!"

"Your Majesty, you have probably finished your morning court by now!" Zheng Xiyan asked.

"I think the court has ended at this time. Your Majesty, please have your meal first!" Biluo advised.

Zheng Xiyan had a complicated expression and was very depressed.

"Mrs. Su has never had much friendship with you, Your Majesty, there is no need to..."

"I don't want to see the murderer Murong Yue go unpunished, but I don't really want to save Lady Su." Although Zheng Xiyan felt a little reluctant, after all, she didn't want to care too much. Everyone has a destiny, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't do much and could only do her best.

Biluo chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, are you still being stubborn? You are kind by nature, otherwise you wouldn't have repeatedly pleaded for Lady Su last night."

"But in this palace, being kind by nature is not a good thing." Zheng Xiyan said helplessly.

After a while, Shuang Ning walked in, "My Lady."

"Has your Majesty attended the morning court?"

"Your Majesty, after the morning court session, His Majesty went to Shoukang Palace immediately. He has now come out of Shoukang Palace and is on his way back to Zichen Palace." Shuang Ning reported.

"Has Your Majesty revoked the order to execute Concubine Su?" Zheng Xiyan sat up straight and asked anxiously.

"No, Your Majesty still wants to sentence Concubine Su to death." Shuang Ning shook her head.

"What? Go to Shoukang Palace right away." Zheng Xiyan stood up and left Weiyang Palace immediately.

"Miss!"

"The people sent out of the palace won't be back for a while, so now we can only rely on the Queen Mother."

"Let's go to Shoukang Palace first."

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan immediately went to Shoukang Palace. At this moment, Concubine Su knelt in front of the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for saving my life."

"I will order someone to escort you out of the palace. From now on, there will be no more Concubine Su in the harem. Leave the palace, forget everything that happened here, and never come back." The Queen Mother said with emotion.

After this incident, Su Meiren no longer had any attachment to this cold palace. Leaving was the best option for her.

"Thank you, Queen Dowager. I am grateful to you." Concubine Su said with sobs.

The maid walked in, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the Queen is here."

"Please come in, Queen."

"Yes!"

"Queen, please."

Zheng Xiyan stepped in and saw Concubine Su kneeling on the ground, having changed into a palace maid's clothes. She immediately understood everything. The Queen Mother was going to send Concubine Su out of the palace.

"Your son pays respect to your mother." Zheng Xiyan stepped forward and saluted.

"See the Queen."

"Get up!"

"Thank you, mother."

The Queen Mother said, "As you can see, I am sending Concubine Su out of the palace. From now on, she will no longer be in this palace."

"My queen mother is wise! But this matter..." Will Murong Yue, the culprit, just let her go?

"This matter ends here. The emperor has his reasons for doing this, and the empress should not interfere anymore." The empress dowager advised.

When Zheng Xiyan heard this, she understood that the Queen Mother and Xiao Xuanchen wanted to protect Murong Yue, "Yes!"
