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

"I have come here today to congratulate the Empress. The eldest prince has been appointed as the Crown Prince. Congratulations, Your Majesty." Concubine Xu also expressed her sincere wishes.

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Thank you."

"You are still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't stay in the palace all day. Go out and walk around more often. It's good for your health." Zheng Xiyan comforted.

"The Queen is right." Concubine Xu said in a low voice.

After Concubine Li and Concubine Xu left Weiyang Palace, they met Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning when they passed by the Imperial Garden on their way back to Minghua Palace.

The two were walking in the Imperial Garden, their bellies were already bulging. When Concubine Xu saw this scene, she couldn't help feeling a little pained and subconsciously touched her belly. If her child was still there, it should be bigger than their bellies.

Seeing her sad face, Lady Li said, "Go over and greet her! After all, we met."

"Yeah." Concubine Xu nodded slightly.

"Your concubine pays homage to the Empress Zhaoyi and the Empress Zhaorong."

Xi Muyao said: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Empress Zhaoyi."

Shen Aoning asked, "Is Concubine Xu feeling better?"

"Thank you, Empress Zhaorong, for your concern. I'm much better now." Concubine Xu replied expressionlessly.

"It's been a while since you had your miscarriage. It's time for you to recover. You are still young. In the future, there is still a chance for you to conceive a dragon heir. Don't lose heart." When Shen Aoning said this, her expression was somewhat smug, and she deliberately made the action of stroking her lower abdomen more obvious.

Xu Jieyu looked at her with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes. She remembered that the Queen had told her that the murderer was someone else. If it wasn't Su Meiren, then who could it be? Seeing the two of them, could it be them?

But they were both pregnant and had no reason to harm her. If not them, who else could it be?

"Thank you, Empress Zhaorong, for your advice." Concubine Xu's eyes were unusually cold and chilly.

The two men looked at Lady Li, who was the most favored in recent days, and there was a bit of hostility in their eyes.

"Congratulations, Miss Li!" Shen Aoning said sarcastically.

Lady Li smiled and asked innocently, "I wonder where your happiness comes from?"

"Where does your joy come from? In recent days, His Majesty's favorite person is you, isn't this joy?" Shen Aoning looked at her coldly. She hated it most when people pretended to be ignorant when they knew the truth.

Lady Li chuckled and said, "You are joking, madam. The two madams are pregnant now. In this palace, apart from the great joy of the eldest prince being appointed as the crown prince, who else can compare to the joy of the two madams?"

When Shen Aoning and Xi Muyao heard this, their faces changed instantly. "Miss Li is really sharp-tongued! I didn't notice it before."

"Thank you for the compliment, Her Majesty." Lady Li accepted the compliment neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Shen Aoning looked at her with more and more hostility, and said in a cold voice: "I just don't know, Miss Li, whether you are happy about this palace and Sister Xi."

"I feel that it all depends on fate. If it is destined to be yours, it will eventually come to you. If it is not destined to be yours, don't force it. What is meant to be yours will always come to you." Lady Li replied calmly and unhurriedly.

Shen Aoning was already angry, and Xi Muyao quickly gave her a look, so she had no choice but to endure it.

Lady Li then said, "Sister Xu and I will not disturb the two ladies any more. We will return to Minghua Palace first."

The two of them exchanged greetings and left quickly.

After they left, Shen Aoning said disdainfully: "What is that?"

"Okay, why do you care about her? She's just a beauty. His Majesty has only favored her a few more times. Why are you arguing with her?" Xi Muyao said in a deep voice.

"Sister, didn't you hear what that bitch just said? In the past few days, not only has His Majesty often summoned her, but even the Queen has shown her more care. She really thinks she is a favorite concubine." Shen Aoning said angrily.

Xi Muyao couldn't stand her temper any more and said, "Control your temper. You are going to be a mother, but you are still acting like a child."

"Sister~" Shen Aoning acted coquettishly towards her.

"Okay." Xi Muyao said solemnly.

"I see."

Xu Jieyu and Li Meiren continued walking, and Xu Jieyu asked, "Don't you hate me?"

"What's the point of hating you? Sister Su has left, and now there are only two of us left in Minghua Palace." Lady Li whispered, what's the point of such endless hatred?

"I'm sorry for what I did to you in the past!" Concubine Xu also realized how excessive she had been. Perhaps it was because of her that she harmed her child.

Li Meiren looked at her and said, "It's all in the past. You lost your child, and I don't want to blame you for anything."

Speaking of children, Concubine Xu couldn't control her tears.

"I will definitely avenge my child and will not let Concubine Su die in vain." Concubine Xu promised her.

"it is good!"

princess mansion

Princess Xuanhua and Helian Cheng were sitting opposite each other, having breakfast together.

Having just gotten married yesterday, the two were obviously still a little uncomfortable with the new environment, and they were always polite yet distant.

The atmosphere in the room was also a bit strange. The palace maids stood aside, particularly quietly. Neither of the two men spoke a word. They really did not talk while eating or sleeping.

The two of them would secretly glance at each other from time to time, but after a glance, they would quickly look away.

After breakfast, Princess Xuanhua ordered, "Everyone, leave!"

"Yes!"

The palace servants took the food away, and they were the only two left in the room. It was still eerily quiet.

"That?" Princess Xuanhua took the initiative to speak.

"Princess, please speak." Helian Cheng looked at her.

"Should we go and pay our respects to our father and mother?" asked Princess Xuanhua.

"Yes! I will ask someone to prepare the car. Princess, please wait a moment."

"it is good!"

After he left, Princess Xuanhua felt a little relieved. She let out a long sigh and thought of last night. Her face became shy and her ears turned red.

"What's wrong with the princess? Why are her ears so red?" asked the palace maid beside her.

"Nothing." Princess Xuanhua said quickly, and then whispered to herself, "I didn't expect that this Helian Cheng was not quite what I thought."

The little face became redder and redder. Princess Xuanhua stroked her little face and said, "Oh~ Don't think about it."

Shoukang Palace

After breakfast, Zheng Xiyan came to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother was still having breakfast, but she had no appetite. Zheng Xiyan walked in and said, "Your son pays respects to you, the Queen Mother."

"Get up!"

"Thank you, mother."

The Queen Mother took up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, saying, "Let's withdraw!"

Nanny Yu said, "Your Highness, you haven't even eaten a few bites."

"I have no appetite, let's leave!" The Queen Mother insisted.

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan helped the queen mother to sit on the couch nearby, "Be careful, mother."

"Why are you here so early in the morning?" asked the Queen Mother.

"I thought that Xuanhua surrendered yesterday and your mother must be worried about you, so I came to see you." Zheng Xiyan said considerately.

"You are so thoughtful." The Queen Mother patted her hands.

"This is what a son should do."
