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

When Shen Aoning saw her holding the child, her heart tightened and her brows furrowed. If she could see anything, it would be bad. She forced herself to calm down.

Zheng Xiyan smiled as she sat down holding the child, smiling, "Look how cute he is."

Several concubines came over, and Concubine Xian took a look and said, "The Queen is right. The Third Prince is really adorable."

At this time, Concubine Zhao came late. When she saw Zheng Xiyan holding a child in her arms, she knew that this should be Concubine Xi's newborn child. "I pay my respects to the Empress and to all the sisters."

"Don't be so polite and get up quickly!" Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Queen."

"Come and take a look, and share in the good fortune. Now that you are in the emperor's favor, I hope you can give birth to a child for His Majesty as soon as possible." Zheng Xiyan said to her with a smile, but her eyes fell on Shen Aoning from time to time.

"Yes, thanks to the Queen."

Shen Aoning sat next to Zheng Xiyan, clutching a handkerchief in both hands, trembling a little, her eyes always looking towards the inner room, very nervous. Fortunately, everyone's eyes were on the child and no one noticed anything about her.

But the next second, someone said, "This child is cute, but I don't think he looks like Your Majesty or Empress Zhaoyi."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became eerily quiet. Shen Aoning was so frightened that she trembled all over and broke out in cold sweat.

Zheng Xiyan deliberately raised the ending tone and frowned, "Really?"

"Huh? It seems so. This child doesn't look like Your Majesty, nor does he look like Xi Zhaoyi at all." Xu Chongyuan looked at him carefully again and again, and then realized that she might have said something wrong, and quickly shut her mouth in disappointment.

"What are you talking about? How can you tell who a baby looks like when he's just born? You'll be able to tell after a few days." Zheng Xiyan pretended to be serious.

"So that's how it is. It's also my fault that I have never given birth, so I don't know anything." Xu Chongyuan looked a little unhappy, with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Zheng Xiyan deliberately looked at Shen Aoning and sneered. She was so bold as to do such a thing. She really didn't know what she could do. "Shen Zhaorong, come and hug the child too. You and Xi Zhaoyi are like sisters. Her child will definitely be closer to you in the future."

Shen Aoning was stunned for a moment, "Ah..." She didn't react for a moment, her face was very stiff, and her voice trembled slightly, "Empress...Empress, I am still worried about my sister. I am still a little frightened and afraid of hurting my sister's child. You should hold the child!"

Zheng Xiyan looked at her steadily for a long time, and said meaningfully: "Well, why are you so nervous? Concubine Xi has already given birth to the third prince safely, and everything will be fine."

"Yes, Her Majesty is right." Shen Aoning said nervously.

In the bedroom, Xi Muyao had not yet overcome her difficulties. She clutched the quilt tightly with both hands and tried her best to scream, "Ah..."

"My queen, push harder, push harder! It's going to come out soon." the midwife shouted.

Xi Muyao was sweating profusely, the room was filled with the smell of blood, her face was full of pain, veins bulged on her face, and the pain was excruciating.

"My lady, please push harder!"

Outside the hall, Zheng Xiyan was happily playing with the child in her arms, and for a moment she even forgot that Xiao Xuanchen was not there.

Knowing that Zhao Cairen came from the Purple Palace, he asked, "Zhao Cairen, where is His Majesty? Why didn't His Majesty come with you?"

Just as Lady Zhao was about to answer, the eunuch in front of the imperial court came in and said, "Your servant greets the Empress."

"Get up! Where is His Majesty?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

The eunuch in front of the emperor replied carefully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very busy with government affairs and will not come here. Everything will be left to Your Majesty to decide."

When Shen Aoning heard this, her eyes widened and she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't your Majesty coming?"

My sister is in excruciating pain inside, but His Majesty doesn't care at all. It's clear that he doesn't value my sister or the baby in her belly.

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and cannot spare the time," said the eunuch in front of the emperor.

Zheng Xiyan smiled coldly, so ruthless!

Shen Aoning clenched her fists, her breathing gradually becoming heavier, "How could Your Majesty not even take a look at my sister's birth?"

"Okay, state affairs are more important. Shen Zhaorong should understand your majesty." Zheng Xiyan scolded coldly, then looked at the eunuch in front of the emperor and said, "I know. You go back and tell your majesty that Xi Zhaoyi has given birth to a prince for your majesty. Xi Zhaoyi is pregnant with another one and is still giving birth."

The eunuch in front of the emperor was shocked at first. Is she pregnant with twins? I have never heard of this before! What is going on?

"I obey your command and will take my leave." said the eunuch in front of the emperor.

"Ah."

After about an hour, Xi Zhaoyi still hadn't given birth. Xu Chongyuan asked sarcastically, "What's going on? The third prince has been born, but why hasn't the second prince been born yet?"

Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Giving birth to a child is like going through hell. How can it be so smooth? What's more, giving birth to two children, I think she is physically exhausted."

Shen Aoning was tense all over, worried to death. Maybe something had happened, but she still managed to speak: "Your Majesty is right. Xu Chongyuan has never given birth, so she naturally doesn't know the hardships of childbirth."

Xu Chongyuan was immediately furious and was about to speak when Zheng Xiyan stopped her, "Shen Zhaorong, Xu Chongyuan has never given birth? Why do you have to stab her in the heart?"

Shen Aoning didn't want to cause trouble at this time, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Queen."

"You are also pregnant. Do some good deeds for your child instead of being so harsh with your words." Zheng Xiyan said coldly.

"Yes!"

Princess Shion

The eunuch in front of the emperor came back to report. When Xiao Xuanchen heard about twins, his pupils suddenly dilated and his face was shocked. "Twins?"

"Your Majesty, that's right. Concubine Xi has safely given birth to the third prince, and the other is still in the process of being born."

Xiao Xuanchen didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Twins? How is this possible? The imperial physician at the Imperial Hospital didn't say they were twins. How is this possible?

"How is this possible?" Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

The eunuch in front of the emperor didn't know what was going on. "Your Majesty! It's absolutely true!"

"Go to Yong'an Palace."

"Yes!"

Xiao Xuanchen hurriedly left the Purple Palace, got on the imperial sedan chair, and ordered, "Hurry up."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen soon arrived at Yong'an Palace, and the eunuch in front of the emperor shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Zheng Xiyan's lips curled up into a smile. She couldn't hold it back, so she finally came. She just didn't know what kind of expression he would have when he knew the truth. She was looking forward to it so much.
