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

When Xiao Xuanchen heard this, he seemed to see his former mother, and he was his former father. Back then, he, like his mother, believed that his father had done something wrong.

But now, he was a little unsure.

Xiao Xuanchen replied absentmindedly: "Yes!"

For a long time, the palace was very quiet. Neither of them spoke. Xiao Xuanchen thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I will issue an order tomorrow and leave for the palace the day after tomorrow."

"Yes." Zheng Xiyan responded without expression.

Suddenly, Xiao Xuanchen asked, "Your horse was frightened today, and it was Lu Ran who saved you."

"Yes!"

"I also heard that Lu Ran injured his arm while saving you." Xiao Xuanchen looked her up and down, very dissatisfied with this.

Zheng Xiyan's expression was calm as she said, "If it weren't for Guard Lu, I would have been really hurt."

"I wanted to punish him during the day, why didn't you plead for him?" Xiao Xuanchen turned the jade ring on his hand and looked at her fiercely.

Zheng Xiyan replied: "I don't want people to know that he was injured while saving me. It concerns my reputation. Wouldn't it be better if a big thing can be made small and a small thing can be made nothing?"

After hearing what she said, Xiao Xuanchen nodded after a long while, "You are the queen, your reputation really cannot be damaged."

"Guard Lu is a smart man, he will naturally understand what I did today." Zheng Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside Chaoyun Palace

Although Lu Ran and others were hit with twenty military sticks, Xiao Xuanchen had instructed his men to show mercy in advance, so the twenty military sticks were not hit hard and could not hurt those martial artists at all.

It’s just that Lu Ran sprained his arm, so he needs to rest for some time.

"Sir! You are injured, why don't you go back and rest?" Two guards came over.

Lu Ran said: "Today is my night duty."

"We will keep watch for you, just go back and rest!"

"no need."

"Sir! You really should tell His Majesty the truth." One of the guards felt aggrieved. It was clearly their lord who saved the Queen, but in the end, they had to be punished. He could not swallow this.

Lu Ran scolded, "Shut up! This concerns the reputation of the Queen, so don't mention it again."

"But you clearly saved the Queen, and the Queen didn't even plead for us, and you got beaten with twenty military sticks for nothing." The young guard felt aggrieved.

"How did these twenty military sticks hurt you? Do you think His Majesty doesn't know about this? His Majesty is also warning us that the Queen's fright today must not be spread outside, otherwise none of us will have a good result. This concerns the Queen's reputation, how could His Majesty allow this matter to spread?"

Lu Ran instructed, "You two, tell them to keep this a secret. If anyone spreads it, I won't be able to do anything. You all know His Majesty's methods."

The two suddenly felt a chill on their backs, realizing the importance of the matter. They didn't dare to complain or say anything more, "Yes! Sir!"

"Okay, let's continue patrolling!" Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

In the palace, Zheng Xiyan and Xiao Xuanchen were playing chess. The eunuch in front of the emperor came in and reported, "Your Majesty, there is news from Fanghua Palace that Princess Changle is ill. Your Majesty, please go over there."

"Why did you get sick for no reason?" Xiao Xuanchen casually placed a piece down and asked nonchalantly.

Zheng Xiyan's mind was completely focused on the chessboard, and she placed her piece precisely where she wanted.

The eunuch in front of the emperor replied, "He said he had caught a cold."

"Has the imperial physician been there?" Xiao Xuanchen picked up a chess piece and asked in a deep voice.

"He has already gone." The eunuch in front of the emperor reported.

"Since the imperial physician has gone, and I am not an imperial physician, is it possible that I can still cure Changle's illness?" Xiao Xuanchen really didn't want to go.

Zheng Xiyan didn't want to face Xiao Xuanchen either. She knew that Murong Yue did this on purpose, using Changle as a cover to steal people from her. Naturally, she was willing to help her. "Your Majesty! Changle is your daughter after all. She is sick now. She must be missing your Majesty and wants your father to accompany her. Your Majesty should go and see her!"

"I won't go over." Xiao Xuanchen looked indifferent.

"Your Majesty! How can a father not visit his daughter when she is sick?" Zheng Xiyan continued to persuade, hoping that Murong Yue would be able to keep her in his palace.

Xiao Xuanchen dropped a piece, looked up at him, and said in a deep voice: "Do you really want me to pass by?"

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Of course I don't want to, but I don't want to be known as a mean person. After all, I am the legal mother of Princess Changle in name only."

"Since the Queen has said so, I will go over there. However, the Queen also reminded me that you are also Changle's biological mother, so come with me to take a look!" Xiao Xuanchen said, pulling her hand and standing up.

Zheng Xiyan really wanted to scold him, that was his daughter, not my daughter.

But since I had already said it, it was too late to take it back now, so I could only agree, "Your Majesty is right. If Your Majesty invites me, I will naturally go with you."

The two men left Chaoyun Palace, and a group of palace servants and guards followed them.

The moment Zheng Xiyan stepped out of Chaoyun Palace, she saw Lu Ran. Didn't he have an injured arm? Why was he still here?

Xiao Xuanchen held her hand and said, "The moonlight tonight is quite nice, suitable for moon watching."

Zheng Xiyan doesn't have the leisure time to do this. His daughter is sick, and he still has the mind to appreciate the moon? He is indeed cold and heartless.

A group of guards followed behind them silently.

Lu Ran looked at Zheng Xiyan's back. Although it was night and he couldn't see anything clearly, there was a strange feeling flashing in his eyes.

When Lu Ran realized it, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to think about it anymore, but today's situation flashed through his mind.

Her hand touched the back of her hand, and even the two bodies... Lu Ran's ears turned red, and he shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore.

Arriving at Fanghua Palace, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Murong Yue was overjoyed, but the next second, "The Queen has arrived!" Murong Yue's face changed immediately, and anger gradually surged up in her. She never expected that Zheng Xiyan was also here.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, and I greet the Queen."

Xiao Xuanchen pulled Zheng Xiyan and walked past her, saying, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen and Zheng Xiyan sat down, and Xiao Xuanchen asked, "How is the princess?"

The imperial physician stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is young and it is autumn now, so she is prone to catching a cold, but fortunately it is not serious."

"How did the palace maids in Fanghua Palace take care of the princess? How did the princess catch a cold out of nowhere?" Xiao Xuanchen asked in a cold voice, sitting there, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The palace maids in the hall were kneeling on the ground.

Murong Yue was also frightened and knelt down.
