And the bird's nest was brought by Xu Zhiyan.

Because of this reason, Wei Yingzi held the Xie family accountable and wanted to put Xu Zhiyan and Xie An Feng'an in jail on the charge of murdering the royal heir.

"I have lost my child, and I have to implicate my brother and sister-in-law. My mother and sister-in-law are speechless, and Your Majesty is furious. The Xie family is in danger.

As the biggest victim, I have not been able to rest even for a day. I have been kneeling day and night to beg Your Majesty to calm down and beg Wei to spare the Xie family..."

Empress Xie smiled coldly and said, "I am the one who is most panicked after losing my child. How funny."

The first child was gone just like that.

She was clearly the victim, but in the end she was the one who bore the brunt of the anger.

Because of the death of the child, Emperor Hui did not visit her once for three whole months.

The palace has always been a place where the powerful are flattered and the weak are bullied. During those three months, all the rewards that were originally given were taken away one by one, and the supplies that should have been given were treated differently.

It was Xu Zhiyan who entered the palace again, learned of Concubine Xi's difficulties, and went back to tell Xie Anfeng about it. It happened that there was a drought in the northwest, so the Xie family donated 50,000 shi of grain to the court, and only then was Concubine Xi's favor restored.

Then, she became pregnant with her second child.

This time she was very careful. Not only was she not ostentatious, she was also careful about her diet, accessories, and actions. However, the child still died when he was three months old.

This time it happened to be during a palace banquet, and after the banquet was over, the child was gone.

Emperor Hui was extremely angry and ordered the Imperial City Administration to conduct a thorough investigation.

After checking, it seemed that there was a close connection with the Xie family - all the women in the Xie family were there, and they sat at Concubine Xi's place for a while after the palace banquet.

Concubine Xi didn't believe it, but every piece of evidence pointed to Xu Zhiyan.

Xu Zhiyan refused to accept it and had two miscarriages, both of which were blamed on her. There must be someone behind this.

After she analyzed the situation with Xie Anfeng, Xie Anfeng also felt that there must be a problem, so Xie Anfeng went to the palace again, told Emperor Hui all the doubts, and begged Emperor Hui to investigate thoroughly.

Emperor Hui conducted a thorough investigation as Xie Anfeng had said, and indeed found out that the eunuchs under Concubine Xi were from the Wei family.

The eunuch was killed and Xu Zhiyan was cleared of the charges. However, Xu Zhiyan was afraid and dared not enter the palace or come to Xingning Palace again.

It happened that Xu Zhiyan was pregnant with Xie Yu at that time, and she used the excuse of taking care of the baby and did not enter the palace for a year.

In order to comfort Concubine Xi, Emperor Hui promoted her status even though she had no children, and gave her the title of Concubine Xi and allowed her to live in Xingning Palace.

It happened that Johor presented several pairs of beautiful phoenixes as tribute, and Emperor Hui gave them all to Concubine Xi.

However, she was not the only one who was given titles at the same time. There were more than a dozen people who were given titles such as concubine, imperial consort, and Zhaoyi... at once.

The king was very busy. After finishing his work in the former court, he was busy in the harem. There were more than a dozen newly appointed concubines and dozens of old concubines, one every day. It would take a month for Concubine Xi to regain favor.

Not to mention, Emperor Hui had to stay at the Queen's place on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Even if he did not go to the Queen's place, he would not summon any concubine to sleep with him.

Every day was spent waiting for the king to visit. During those days, apart from feeding Jiao Feng, she would look at the sky in the four corners of the yard and count the surrounding bricks.

The twelfth floor is full of makeup, and the king is watching from the Wangxian Tower.

The golden beast with a locked title is cold in a chain, and the copper dragon with dripping water makes the day longer.

After combing her bun, she returned to the mirror, and her robe was about to be changed to make it even more fragrant.

Looking from afar into the main hall where the curtain is opened, I see palace maids in robes and trousers sweeping the imperial bed.

After endless waiting, Old Master Xie passed away. She and Emperor Hui went back to Xie's house to pay their respects and see her old father for the last time.

Unexpectedly, when she returned to the palace from Xie's house, she suffered from unbearable abdominal pain, which was so painful that she felt like she was dying, and later she bled profusely.

After calling the imperial physician, she found out that her third baby had been miscarried without her even noticing!

This time she didn't cry or say anything, but she asked someone to investigate.

Liuli handed her the final investigation results, and she laughed out loud after reading them.

It turned out that Xie Anfeng and Emperor Hui had already made an agreement that Emperor Hui would ensure the prosperity of the Xie family, and Xie would tacitly agree that Concubine Xi would not have any children in her lifetime.

Both parties promised to give Concubine Xi a lifetime of glory, that no one could harm her life, and that she could live out her old age in peace.

Who wants to grow old like this in despair?

She hated it so much. She hated the Xie family and Emperor Hui.

Is wealth and glory the magnificent Xingning Palace?

Does wealth and splendor mean wearing silk and satin for only one person to see?

"I live to confine myself to the wealth of the Xie family, right? I no longer care since the day I lost my third child. You want wealth? You wish!"

Imperial Concubine Xi smiled, "Wei Yingzi has a close relationship with Xu Yingrong, the concubine of the Xu family. I have known about this for a long time. During my investigation, I also found that Wei Yingzi colluded with the Xu family to frame Xu Zhiyan, so..."

Xie Anfeng and Old Madam Xie both looked up suddenly at Queen Xie.

"So, I took advantage of the situation and gave it a push. Doesn't Xu Yingrong like my brother? Wei Yingzi wants to arrange Xu Yingrong to be with my brother, and I, your sister, will help her realize her wish!"

So at the palace banquet, Concubine Xi came out and toasted her brother, watching Xie Anfeng drink the wine that Xu Yingrong had drugged with without worry. Concubine Xi watched coldly as Wei Yingzi arranged for Xie Anfeng to rest in a side hall in the palace, allowing Xu Yingrong to take care of Xie Anfeng and take him to bed.

Finally, Wei Yingzi and her men caught her brother-in-law sleeping with his sister-in-law. She revealed the news to Xu Zhiyan and suggested that Xu Zhiyan take Xu Yingrong as Xie Anfeng's concubine.

Xu Zhiyan was pregnant with her second child at that time and had to accept Xu Yingrong. During her pregnancy, she was disappointed and depressed. Xu Yingrong always kept a low profile, pretending to be pitiful and weak.

Concubine Xi saw Xu Zhiyan was angry and suspicious of Xie Anfeng, and the pleasure of revenge in her heart made the boring days in the palace much happier.

"Xie Chunxi, you, you are so vicious!" Xie Anfeng was furious, "Yan'er is so good to you, she is so kind and good to others, and has never done anything wrong to you, why did you hurt her like that?"

Empress Xie smiled faintly and said, "She is innocent, but you are not! I am living such a painful life, why should I fulfill your wish? Don't you love Xu Zhiyan very much? Then I will make you lose your most beloved one too!"

"You, you bastard!" Xie An finished cursing and quickly bowed to His Majesty, "I have overstepped my bounds!"

No matter how bad Empress Xie was, it was not his turn to scold her.

While they were arguing, Xie Zhaozhao was in tears and crying out loud.

"Empress, in my heart, you are the most gentle and loving. How could you bear to let me be born without a mother?"

Xie Zhaozhao cried, and Old Madam Xie also cried.

Empress Xie watched her cry, paused for a moment, and then smiled: "Zhao Zhao, your mother was poisoned to death by Xu Yingrong and Wei Yingzi, and I just watched this scene from the sidelines.

Besides, after you were born, I have always treated you as my own daughter, which can be regarded as making up for the guilt. "

"No matter how much love you give me, aunt, how can it compare to my biological mother? Do you know that I have prayed in the temple every birthday since I was a child, feeling guilty that my mother lost her life because of my birth?"

"Yes, I am not as good as your biological mother. And you, no matter how good I am to you, you are not my biological daughter."

Empress Xie smiled sadly, "You shouldn't have said anything at this moment, but you cried and asked me why I persecuted your biological mother. Xie Zhaozhao, the Xie family treated you as a pawn, but you chose to abandon me and protect the Xie family!"

Madam Xie said angrily, "You don't have to blackmail Zhao Zhao! Now, who else can protect you except His Majesty?"
