A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Hearing the silence gradually coming down inside, the Queen took a deep breath and said, "Inform us."

"The Queen requests an audience!"

When Xiao Rui heard that the queen was coming, he knew without a second thought that the queen was here to plead for this vicious woman.

"Let her in!"

As a fellow member of the royal family, he wanted to hear what the queen would say about how to deal with the matter.

When Xiang Guiren heard that the queen was coming, she was overjoyed! The queen must have come to save her! As soon as the queen stepped into the door of the Yangxin Palace, Xiang Guiren knelt at the queen's feet.

"Empress, please save me! Please save the Wang family! I really won't dare to do it again!"

The Queen said coldly, "You get out of here first."

Hearing the Queen's words, Concubine Xiang slowly released her hand that was holding the Queen's calf.

The queen walked up to Xiao Rui and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Xiao Rui asked, "Empress, your cousin Xiang Guiren used obscene things to cause chaos. In your opinion, what crime should she be punished for?"

The Queen paused, preparing to speak.

Xiao Rui asked again, "What crime should be taken for harming the heir to the throne and framing the imperial concubines?"

Before the Queen could speak, Xiang Guiren explained, "Cousin, please save me. I was just blinded by greed for a moment. I will reflect on my mistakes and be a good person in the future!"

The queen glared at Xiang Guiren fiercely and said, "Shut up!"

Only then did Xiang Guiren shut her mouth.

Then the Queen said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang has ulterior motives. She has brought disaster to the Lord and harmed the heir to the throne. Her crimes are extremely serious. In my opinion, even if she is sentenced to death, it will not be enough to offset her guilt!"

After hearing this, Concubine Xiang looked at the Queen in disbelief. She thought the Queen came here to plead for her, but she didn't expect that it would accelerate her own death.

"Empress..." Concubine Xiang stared at the Queen blankly.

Xiao Rui did not expect the Queen to say this, but he quickly realized that the Queen was sacrificing the rook to save the king!

Xiao Rui said, "Okay, then let's do as the Queen says!"

The emperor responded so promptly and readily, as if Concubine Xiang had never been by his side.

"Since Lady Xiang is so contemptuous of a concubine's child, I will demote you to a commoner and then sentence you to death!"

Hearing that the emperor was really going to kill her, Xiang Guiren was completely overwhelmed and cried out:

"No, Your Majesty! Huan'er really knows she was wrong! Huan'er won't dare to do it again! Your Majesty, please forgive Huan'er! Huan'er had no choice, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Rui sneered and asked, "There are many concubines in the palace, but no one uses obscene things to win favor like you do. You say you have no choice?"

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Concubine Xiang ran to the queen again.

"Empress, please save me! I am only seventeen years old, I really don't want to die!"

Seeing that the queen was indifferent, Xiang Guiren continued, "I and the queen are both from the royal family. Do you really want to watch me die? Queen, you are the empress! Can't you even protect the life of a mere noble like me?"

The Queen knew that Xiang Guiren was trying to provoke her to protect her, so she leaned over and whispered in Xiang Guiren's ear, "Do you want to live? Or do you want your whole family to live?"

After speaking in a low voice, the Queen smoothed the hair around Concubine Weixiang's ears and said, "Just go. I will ask for your maid Xing'er, who helped the tyrant to commit atrocities, to be executed together with you. You won't be alone on the road to the underworld~"

Do you want to live? Or do you want your whole family to live? This sentence kept ringing in Xiang Guiren's ears. Yes, if she died, she would not bring trouble to her family.

After being stunned for a long while, Xiang Guiren slowly said, "Okay...I...I thank the Lord for his grace..."

Xiao Rui turned his back and did not look at her again, but gave the order:

"Pass the order down, strip Consort Xiang of Changle Palace of her title, demote her to a commoner, and execute her along with the palace maid Xing'er in three days! Choose a date to seal off Changle Palace, and dismiss all the palace maids."

As soon as Xiao Rui finished speaking, Concubine Xiang was dragged away, and peace returned to the Yangxin Palace.

The queen walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and walked in front of the emperor. "Your Majesty, drink some tea to calm down. It will be bad if you get angry."

Xiao Rui refused bluntly, "I don't want to drink!"

The queen's hand holding the tea froze in mid-air, then she put the tea down.

"Your Majesty, please be patient. With the lesson of Concubine Xiang... no, with the lesson of Concubine Wang, no one in the harem will dare to stir up trouble again..."

Xiao Rui turned his head abruptly and looked at the queen.

"I would like to ask, how did the Queen manage the harem for me? The commoner Wang tolerated the adultery for so long, and the Queen didn't even notice it?"

After hearing this, the queen was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.

"It was my fault. The commoner Wang and the imperial physician were on the same page and their disguise was too good. I was stupid, so I didn't notice it."

Xiao Rui suddenly remembered what Wang Huan had just confessed, that the dragon fetus would not survive more than three months.

"Imperial Physician? Which imperial physician is taking care of Wang Shu Ren? You knew this, but you didn't report it! Bring the imperial physician here immediately!"
