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

In the bridal chamber, Princess Xuanhua sat on the bridal bed, feeling a little nervous, waiting for Helian Cheng to arrive.

The maid next to her said, "Princess, if you are hungry, I will get you some food."

Princess Xuanhua shook her head gently and whispered, "No, I'm not hungry."

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Helian Cheng walked in and said to them, "Everyone, leave!"

"Yes!"

After they all left, Helian Cheng closed the door, glanced at Princess Xuanhua sitting on the bed, his whole body tensed up, and after a moment, he walked towards her.

When Princess Xuanhua heard the approaching footsteps, she became even more nervous and unconsciously tightened her hand holding the round fan.

"Greetings, Princess." Helian Cheng bowed.

Princess Xuanhua said nervously, "You don't have to be polite, Prince Consort."

Helian Cheng reached out and took away the round fan in front of her. Princess Xuanhua raised her head slightly and looked at him. Their eyes met, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

"Let's drink the wedding wine first!" Helian Cheng withdrew his gaze awkwardly, then turned around to pour the wine.

"Okay!" Princess Xuanhua's attitude was polite yet distant.

After they drank the wedding wine, Helian Cheng placed the wine glass on the table and walked to her nervously. He looked at the phoenix crown on her head and asked, "Princess, this phoenix crown must be very heavy. Let me help you take it off!"

"Thank you." Princess Xuanhua felt uncomfortable all over.

Helian Cheng helped her take off the phoenix crown, and then placed it on the dressing table. Through the dressing table, he saw the nervousness on her face at the moment.

"It's getting late, Princess, please take a rest first! I'm right here on the couch in the outer room, please call me if you need anything." With that, Helian Cheng stood up and prepared to go outside.

Princess Xuanhua was stunned and subconsciously grabbed his hand, "You..."

Helian Chen's heart tightened. He turned his head to look at her, then looked at his hands. His ears gradually turned red, and he avoided her sight the next second.

"I..." Princess Xuanhua also blushed and immediately let go of his hand.

"What are you doing? You...you don't like me?" Princess Xuanhua asked. They had only met from a distance a few times before at palace banquets and had never spoken to each other. No one knew each other.

Helian Cheng turned around, not knowing how to explain, but subconsciously retorted, "No..."

"Then... why did you sleep in the outer room?" Princess Xuanhua lowered her head, her face flushed, and she rubbed the handkerchief in her hand nervously.

"I just feel that the princess seems a little nervous and I don't want to offend her." Helian Chen whispered.

Princess Xuanhua mustered up her courage, looked up at him, and smiled at him, "I've married you, and I've sworn to heaven and earth that I'm your legitimate wife. Now that it's come to this, why are you still being so hypocritical?"

When Helian Cheng heard her words, he smiled knowingly, sat beside her, and stretched out his hands to her involuntarily. He turned her body towards him and then gently stroked her face.

Their eyes met, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, and both of their ears turned red.

Helian Cheng slowly approached her, and then...

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan was removing her makeup and asked, "Who did your Majesty summon to sleep with you today?"

"Still a beautiful lady."

"What's wrong with your majesty recently? He pampers whoever he thinks of." Zheng Xiyan sneered repeatedly. Could it be that he has to take turns in the harem?

Biluo asked, "Does the Queen really believe in Lady Li?"

"How is that possible? In this palace, one must be on guard against others. Do you think I believe her just because she said a few words of surrender?" Zheng Xiyan stretched out the last syllable and said with a meaningful look in her eyes.

"That's what I said!"

"There hasn't been much movement in Jinhua Palace recently!" Zheng Xiyan asked again.

Biluo frowned, also feeling incredible, "It's strange to say, Jinhua Palace has been very quiet recently."

Zheng Xiyan already has evidence that Murong Yue is plotting to murder the royal heir. Now all she has to do is wait for the right opportunity. The truth will come out one day in the future.

"Shen Chongyuan is eight months pregnant now!"

"My lady, it's almost eight months."

"Order the Imperial Hospital to take good care of Shen Chongyuan's pregnancy. Nothing can go wrong with it." Zheng Xiyan warned. If something went wrong with Shen Chongyuan's child again, she would be unqualified as an queen. By then, who knows how many people would accuse her of dereliction of duty.

"Yes!"

Biluo helped her to rest and then left the bedroom.

Princess Shion

Lady Li was waiting in the bedroom, and Xiao Xuanchen was still reading the memorials. The eunuch in front of the emperor reminded him, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, and Lady Li is still waiting for you in the bedroom."

"Go tell her to go to sleep first!" Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

The eunuch in front of the emperor hesitated, "Your Majesty, this..."

"Do as I say."

"Yes!"

In the bedroom, the eunuch said to Lady Li: "Lady Li, please go to sleep first!"

"I understand. Thank you, eunuch." Lady Li said in a low voice.

After the eunuch left, the expression on Lady Li's face was a little complicated, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Jinhua Palace

Murong Yue couldn't sleep, so she was standing in front of the window enjoying the breeze. Die Yun came over and said, "Madam, even though it's spring, it's still very cold at night. What if you catch a cold?"

Ever since she gave birth to Princess Changle, Murong Yue had often suffered from insomnia, unable to sleep all night long, and looked much more haggard.

Xiao Xuanchen summoned her only a few times, and she just endured it night after night.

"It's good that I caught a cold! If it can earn your majesty some pity, it will be worth it for me to catch a cold." Murong Yue's eyes were empty and her face was full of sadness.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Your health is more important!" Dieyun comforted.

Murong Yue sneered and said self-deprecatingly: "In this palace, who would care about my health?"

"My Lady! You still have servants!"

Murong Yue turned her head and looked at her. Die Yun had grown up with her since she was a child. She was the person she trusted the most in the palace. She reached out and patted her shoulder, saying, "Now, by my side, there are only you and Changle."

"My queen, although the princess is not a prince, she is still your child!"

Murong Yue didn't want to hear these words, so she turned to talking about Shen Chongyuan, "Shen Chongyuan is eight months pregnant now! I wonder if her baby is a prince or a princess? In this palace, the son has always been honored by the mother. If she gives birth to a prince, maybe she can be honored by the son, and she will surpass me."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Shen Chongyuan was born as a palace maid. Even if she gave birth to a prince, how could she surpass you?"

"Your Highness, why are you so sad? You are still young, and you still have a chance to conceive another heir in the future."

Murong Yue lowered her head and looked at her belly, "I hope that as you said, I can still be pregnant with a dragon heir."

“Look, Princess Xuanhua is getting married today, and her dowry is more than ten miles of red makeup. If I were the Queen, even if I don’t have a prince, I could still become the Queen Mother in the future. Changle, Changle would also be a legitimate princess of noble status.” Murong Yue’s eyes reddened slightly. She just couldn’t accept it. She couldn’t accept why her luck was so bad.

"Miss!"

Murong Yue wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "The prince's first birthday banquet is coming soon. I should think carefully about preparing a gift for the queen and the prince."

"Yes!"

The next day, Concubine Li and Concubine Xu came to Weiyang Palace together.

"Concubine, please send your regards to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and happiness."

"Everyone get up!" Zheng Xiyan said.

"Thank you, Queen."

Zheng Xiyan saw that she looked good and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm much better now." Concubine Xu replied with a smile.
