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

"What? Are you scared?" Xi Muyao's expression was a little ferocious, she was a little obsessed.

"Sister, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the entire nine generations of the clan will be executed." Shen Aoning frowned. Can they afford such consequences?

Xi Muyao's eyes turned fierce, and she said disdainfully: "So what? I never believe in fate. Destiny is in our own hands. Why can Zheng Xiyan become the queen? In terms of family background and appearance, how are we worse than her?"

"But sister, the Queen Mother chose her. At the beginning, we did lose to her." Although Shen Aoning was also unwilling to accept it, but... but how could they replace the prince with a cat?

“But I won’t accept it. Why should I accept my fate? Why is she so lucky that she was made the queen and her son was made the crown prince, while I, who finally got pregnant with the dragon fetus, turned out to be a princess. Why…” Xi Muyao was a little overwhelmed, her face full of resentment.

"Sister..." Shen Aoning was a little panicked. She knew that she couldn't persuade her.

"Now that you've entered the palace, gained favor, and are pregnant with the dragon heir, you should fight and try once, right?" Xi Muyao became a little crazy and said with a ferocious expression.

"Sister, do you really want to do this?" Shen Aoning looked at her timidly.

Xi Muyao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes again, and said firmly: "Since God has given me this opportunity, I must seize it. I should live a life of glory in this world, otherwise it would be a waste of life."

Shen Aoning's hands started to tremble for some reason. She knew that her sister would not come back.

Chonghua Palace

That day, Zheng Xiyan brought Xiao Chengji with her. It was the first time the two brothers met. Xiao Chengji was very curious and stared at Xiao Chengye in the arms of Concubine Xian.

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Jier, this is your younger brother."

"Brother?" Xiao Chengji looked up at his mother with an innocent look on his face.

"Yes! Ji'er's younger brother." Zheng Xiyan looked at him gently.

The virtuous concubine took the initiative to say to Xiao Chengji, "Your Highness, would you like to shake your brother's hand?" The virtuous concubine raised Xiao Chengye's little hand. Xiao Chengji walked forward curiously, stretched out his hand and held Xiao Chengye's little hand, and then the two brothers laughed.

When Zheng Xiyan saw this scene, she suddenly felt that the royal family actually also had family affection. Even if it existed for a moment, it did exist. But later, because of the imperial power and status, this family affection gradually became mixed with too much and became not pure at all.

"Look at these two brothers, how friendly they are!" Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is right." Concubine Xian was also happy to see that the Crown Prince liked her son.

After the morning court session, Xiao Xuanchen came to Chonghua Palace. Knowing that the queen and her son were also there, he did not send anyone to inform them and walked into the bedroom on his own.

Just when he saw this scene, Xiao Chengji was holding Xiao Chengye's little hand. This scene moved him and evoked a memory from his childhood.

He still remembered that he once had this purest brotherhood.

How many years has it been? I don’t remember.

Xiao Xuanchen put away his emotions and walked in with a smile on his face, "It's so lively."

When everyone heard the voice, they quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty."

"Stop being polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen took the initiative to walk to Xiao Chengji, held him in his arms, and asked, "Jier, do you like your brother?"

Xiao Chengji didn't know whether he understood or not, he nodded obediently. Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Ji'er likes Ye'er very much. You didn't see it just now, but the two brothers were having a lot of fun."

"I saw it." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

"Has your Majesty seen it?"

"Ah."

The virtuous concubine has not yet finished her confinement and has been lying on the bed, never getting out of bed.

"Brothers are friendly and respectful to each other. This is what I expect. I hope Ji'er and Ye'er will not let me down." Xiao Xuanchen looked at Xiao Chengji meaningfully.

Hearing him talk about brotherly love and respect, Zheng Xiyan felt it was ironic. It was ridiculous that he wanted his son to do something that he himself couldn't do.

In his previous life, all his brothers were either killed or imprisoned, and none of them had a good ending.

"Your Majesty is right. I believe Ji'er and Ye'er will not let Your Majesty down." Zheng Xiyan replied with a smile.

Xiao Xuanchen held Xiao Chengji in one hand and pinched Xiao Chengye's little face with the other hand, "I hope you won't let me down."

Zheng Xiyan thought she had seen it wrong. How could she see a trace of hope on his face? Did he really expect a brotherly friendship?

Zheng Xiyan tried hard to recall that among the late emperor's sons, except for Prince Changping Xiao Xuanyan who died young, none of the others were close to him.

By the way, Xiao Xuanyan.

Xiao Xuanyan was two years older than Xiao Xuanchen. He was the seventh son of the late emperor, but he died of smallpox at the age of ten.

Shortly after Xiao Xuanyan was born, his mother died of complications during childbirth. After that, he was raised by his stepmother, the Empress Dowager, who is now the Empress Dowager.

Xiao Xuanchen and Xiao Xuanyan grew up together, and perhaps there really was a brotherhood between them. But if Xiao Xuanyan had not died, now, I am afraid I don’t know whether he is his brother or his enemy.

Zheng Xiyan and Xiao Xuanchen left Chonghua Palace together. Xiao Chengji had already fallen asleep in his wet nurse's arms.

Xiao Xuanchen said: "I haven't taken a walk with the Queen for a long time. Let me take a walk with the Queen in the Imperial Garden!"

"It's all up to your Majesty's orders." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xiyan then ordered the wet nurse, "Take the prince back to Weiyang Palace."

"Yes! Your Majesty the Queen."

The two walked in front, and the people behind them deliberately kept a distance from them.

Zheng Xiyan saw that he looked strange and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just thought of someone." When Xiao Xuanchen saw the scene just now, he remembered some things from his childhood.

"May I ask Your Majesty, who is this person?" Zheng Xiyan felt that her guess was correct. He must have thought of Xiao Xuanyan.

"It's my seventh brother."

Zheng Xiyan's lips curled slightly, it really was Xiao Xuanyan.

"I guess you haven't seen him. He left when I was very young." Xiao Xuanchen said.

Zheng Xiyan had only heard of him. If she had to say that she had seen him, it was probably when she went to the palace to attend a banquet when she was young. But she was still young at that time and had no impression of him.

"I heard that the Prince of Changping grew up with Your Majesty and they have a deep brotherly love." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Seventh brother and I had the best relationship, but things did not go as we wished. He left me because of an outbreak of smallpox." Xiao Xuanchen had a sad face. The two brothers were really good friends.

Zheng Xiyan pretended to comfort him, "I believe that the Prince of Changping is still alive in heaven, and he will surely be relieved to know that Your Majesty still thinks of him."
