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

Chapter 73: The Sumerians are not the murderers of your children

Shortly after dinner, the two lay down and fell asleep without doing anything.

The next morning, Zheng Xiyan woke up early, helped him change clothes and wash up, and finally sent him to the morning court. The two of them acted in tacit understanding as if they had agreed on it, and did not say a word from beginning to end.

That matter was let go tacitly.

Not long after Xiao Xuanchen left, Zi Rui came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Li Cairen is outside asking to see you."

"Let her in!" Zheng Shuyi said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Concubine Li walked into the main hall. Zheng Xiyan saw that her eyes were red and swollen. She thought that she must have cried for a long time last night. In this palace, she was probably the only one who could truly feel sad for Concubine Su.

"Empress!" Li Cairen knelt down immediately, tears falling from her eyes.

Zheng Xiyan stood up and walked towards her, helping her up, "Get up first and we'll talk later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Cairen said crying.

After much deliberation, Zheng Xiyan decided not to tell her the truth. It would be better if fewer people knew that Su Wanruo was not dead.

"Okay, let's just let this matter pass, and don't mention it again." Speaking of Concubine Su and Concubine Li in their previous lives, they were both honest and dutiful people. Although they were not favored, they relied on each other in this palace and lived a good life.

But in this life, there have been too many changes, and even she herself doesn’t know what the future will be like?

"But Sister Su, did you die in vain?" Li Cairen cried.

"Of course not. God is watching what people do. Good and evil will be rewarded. The real murderer will be punished one day." Zheng Xiyan said with a heavy face.

"Empress! I'm so scared. This palace is so terrible. If I could do it again, I would never enter the palace again." Li Cairen has been living in fear from yesterday until now, and her spirit is on the verge of collapse.

When Zheng Xiyan heard her words, she was filled with emotion. How could she not hope to start over again? But she did start over again, but she still entered the palace.

God allowed her to live her life again, but still let her enter the palace.

Zheng Xiyan comforted him in a deep voice: "The past is in the past, and we still have to keep going in the future. Don't think too much. Living in the present is the most important thing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. After this incident, I finally understand that you are a good person. Please protect me." Li Cairen knelt on the ground again, begging her to protect her.

Zheng Xiyan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to agree to her. Having one more helper in the harem is always better than having one more enemy.

"Okay! You get up first. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you." Zheng Xiyan promised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Cairen thanked her repeatedly.

Zheng Xiyan helped her up and asked, "How is Concubine Xu?"

Li Cairen quickly wiped away her tears. "When I came out, she was still crying. Losing her child is the biggest blow to a mother."

"I'll go see her later, you go back to the palace first!" Zheng Xiyan said.

"Yes! I'll take my leave." Li Cairen bowed and left Weiyang Palace.

After Li Cairen left, Zheng Xiyan ordered, "Serve the food!"

"Yes!"

After Zheng Xiyan had breakfast, she went to Minghua Palace to visit Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu has not eaten anything since her miscarriage. When the palace maid saw the Queen coming, she hurriedly bowed.

"Get up! How is Concubine Xu?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

The maid replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jieyu has been refusing to eat. We have tried to persuade her many times, but it was useless. Your Majesty, please go and persuade Concubine Jieyu!"

"All of you retreat!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The palace maids all left. Zheng Xiyan walked into the bedroom, picked up the bowl of ginseng soup on the table, and walked towards the bed.

Xu Jieyu curled up and sat in the corner of the bed. Her face was pale, her eyes were dull, and she was in a trance, without any energy at all.

"How can you not eat? Your health is the most important thing." Zheng Xiyan sat beside the bed and comforted.

Concubine Xu raised her head slightly, and when she saw that it was her, she spoke weakly, "Empress, even if you think my body is better, what can it do?"

Zheng Xiyan thought about it and felt that she should tell her the truth. The murderer who actually killed her unborn child has not yet received retribution, and she should not continue to be depressed like this.

"Don't you want to avenge your child?" Zheng Xiyan's face darkened and his eyes suddenly became cold.

Hearing this, Concubine Xu was stunned. Her eyes turned slightly and she asked in confusion, "What does the Queen mean by this? Didn't His Majesty decree the death of Concubine Su? He has already avenged my child."

"Ms. Su is not the murderer of your child. The murderer is someone else." Zheng Xiyan said with a firm look.

"How is it possible? Who else could it be if not her?" Concubine Xu suddenly became agitated.

"Think about it carefully. Do you really think that Concubine Su was responsible for this? Although she is dissatisfied with you, she has always been timid. You have repeatedly made things difficult for her, but she has only had a quarrel with you. At most, she went to Weiyang Palace to inform me. Apart from that, what else has she done? With her personality, how could she possibly harm your child?" Zheng Xiyan looked serious.

Xu Jieyu's mind was in a mess at the moment. Who else could it be if not her? "Empress, do you already know who the murderer is? Can you tell me?"

Concubine Xu crawled in front of her, knelt on the bed, and kowtowed to her, "I beg you, please tell me the truth, okay?"

"I don't know who the real murderer is, but I can be sure that it is definitely not a Sumerian."

"If you want to know who killed your child, then cheer up, find the real murderer, and avenge your child." Zheng Xiyan's cold gaze fell on her and patted her shoulder with one hand.

Xu Jieyu collapsed immediately, looked at her with bloodshot eyes, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Take care of yourself first. Nothing is more important than your health." Zheng Xiyan comforted.

"Empress..." Concubine Xu tugged at her robe.

Zheng Xiyan brought the ginseng soup to her and fed her personally, "Have a bowl of ginseng soup!"

"You have to understand that only if you are well can you see the real murderer get the retribution he deserves." Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully.

After hearing what she said, Concubine Xu opened her mouth and Zheng Xiyan fed her the drink. "After all, only if you take good care of yourself can you avenge your child, right?"

"Thank you, Her Majesty! I thank you very much." Concubine Xu looked grateful.

"No need to thank me. I just want the truth to be revealed and bring peace to the harem." Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly.

Zheng Xiyan put the bowl down and said, "Don't think about anything now. Listen to the doctor's advice, take the medicine well, and take care of yourself. There are still many days to come, so take your time."

"Yes!"
