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

Shoukang Palace

When the Empress Dowager learned that Xi Muyao had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, she was somewhat surprised, but more astonished. "Twins? Are you serious?" asked the Empress Dowager.

Nanny Yu replied with a smile on her face: "It is absolutely true. Congratulations, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother frowned, feeling that something was wrong. "This... didn't the imperial physician diagnose that it was a princess? How come it turned out to be twins? What's wrong with this imperial hospital? There are two in the belly, but they can't even diagnose it?"

When Nanny Yu heard this, her smile faded slightly, but she didn't think it was strange. There were many women in the folk who were pregnant with twins. There were also cases like Xi Zhaoyi who were not diagnosed with twins. "Maybe the imperial physician didn't think about twins. After all, twins are rare. Besides, His Majesty has already ordered to establish the title of Chen Fei above the Imperial Concubine, and to appoint Xi Zhaoyi as Chen Fei."

The Empress Dowager did not object. It was understandable that Xi Muyao gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for the royal family and was canonized as the Consort.

"Twins, a boy and a girl? Why do I feel like something is not right? There are so many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but none of them can diagnose it?" The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more she felt something was not right.

"The Empress Dowager must be extremely happy. Now you have a grandson and a granddaughter." Nanny Yu said with a smile.

The expression on the Empress Dowager's face became increasingly gloomy. There must be something fishy going on.

"Let's go! To Yong'an Palace." The Empress Dowager slowly stood up and stretched out her hand, and Nanny Yu came forward to support her.

"Yes!"

Princess Shion

Zhao Cairen accompanied Xiao Xuanchen back and saw how happy he was. She said, "Your Majesty has a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. This is a great joy. I congratulate Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen approached her, put his arm around her waist, and smiled softly, "You have been in the palace for some time. I also hope that you can give birth to a child for me. Don't let me down."

"Yes!" Zhao Cairen looked shy, a blush appeared on her face, she lowered her eyes and smiled, and blinked her smart eyes, which was very attractive.

Xiao Xuanchen stroked her face gently and asked, "Do you like children?"

"I like it." Zhao Cairen spoke softly, making Xiao Xuanchen feel itchy.

"Then give me more children." Xiao Xuanchen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled wickedly.

"Yes." Zhao Cairen said in a low voice, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xiao Xuanchen suddenly asked: "I have a son and a daughter. Are you happy for me?"

"Of course I am happy for Your Majesty." Lady Zhao raised her eyes and said, Xi Zhaoyi is so lucky! She got a pair of twins, and Your Majesty personally appointed her as the Concubine, ranking above the Imperial Concubine. It is really an honor!

"I see that the Queen is also very happy." Xiao Xuanchen let go of Concubine Zhao, and the expression on his face changed immediately.

Zhao Cairen smiled and said, "Your Majesty! The Queen is the mother of a country. All the children in the harem are also the Queen's children. The Queen is naturally happy."

"You're right." Xiao Xuanchen turned the jade ring on his hand, with a complicated expression on his face.

Yong'an Palace

Xi Muyao was so tired that she had fallen asleep. Shen Aoning was staying in the main hall while the wet nurses were feeding the third prince and the second princess.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

When Shen Aoning heard the eunuch's voice, she frowned and panicked. She asked in a cold voice, "Why is the Queen Mother here?"

"This slave doesn't even know!"

Without time to think too much, Shen Aoning stood up to greet her, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother saw that she was pregnant and said, "Don't be so polite."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"I came here to see the third prince and the second princess." The Queen Mother's eyes were calm, but her look was intriguing.

"Yes!"

The two wet nurses quickly brought the third prince and the second princess forward. The queen mother looked at them carefully and said in a cold voice, "Brother and sister don't look alike at all."

Shen Aoning looked nervous, took a breath, and said in a restrained voice: "Empress Dowager, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of them is different. Even if they are born from the same mother, they can sometimes be different."

"That makes sense. The second princess's nose is somewhat like the emperor's. But the third prince doesn't look like the emperor at all." The Empress Dowager frowned. The more she looked, the more she felt that they didn't look like the emperor.

"Empress Dowager, the baby has just been born, this..." Shen Aoning explained hurriedly.

The Queen Mother looked up at her with cold eyes, "Why are you so nervous? I didn't say anything."

"Yes...I was the one who spoke too much."

"Where is the Concubine Chen?" the Empress Dowager asked coldly.

Shen Aoning replied carefully: "Her Majesty, Sister Chen Fei has gone to bed."

The Queen Mother's suspicion grew even stronger. "She just gave birth and is indeed very tired. I will return to Shoukang Palace first."

"Your Highness the Queen Mother is seeing you off."

"You don't have to come out. You're not feeling well. Take a rest!" The Empress Dowager looked very unhappy.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration."

After leaving Yong'an Palace, Nanny Yu noticed that her complexion was not good and asked, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother? What are you doubting?"

"Don't you think Shen Zhaorong's reaction is a little too strange?" The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice.

Nanny Yu also felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, "I am stupid."

"There must be something fishy going on here. Go to Weiyang Palace and invite the Queen to Shoukang Palace," the Queen Mother ordered.

"Yes!"

Weiyang Palace

After Xiao Chengji woke up, Zheng Xiyan had been accompanying him. Zi Rui came in to report, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent someone to ask you to go to Shoukang Palace."

"Has mother been to Yong'an Palace?" Zheng Xiyan guessed.

Zi Rui said: "Exactly!"

"I understand. Go and prepare Feng Yu."

"Yes!"

Biluo stepped forward and whispered, "My queen, could it be that the queen mother has figured out something?"

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "If you really find out something, it won't be a surprise."

"Let's go! Take good care of Ji'er."

"Yes! Your Majesty the Queen."

Shoukang Palace

Zheng Xiyan arrived at Shoukang Palace. The Queen Mother was holding Princess Changle in her arms. "Changle is so good. Come and see the Royal Grandmother."

Zheng Xiyan walked in and bowed to the Queen Mother, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Mother."

"Get up!" said the Queen Mother in a deep voice.

"Thank you, mother."

After Zheng Xiyan sat down, she looked at Princess Changle with a smile on her face and said, "Changle has grown a lot. She is so fair and tender under the care of your mother."

The Queen Mother stared at her subtly, "I just went to Yong'an Palace. Doesn't the Queen have anything to say to me?"

Zheng Xiyan looked alert and lowered her eyes and replied, "Mother, I am stupid and don't understand what you mean."

The Queen Mother smiled coldly, "Are you stupid? If you were stupid, there would be no smart people in this palace."

"Mother, your son..." Zheng Xiyan knew that her mother had suspected something.

"Forget it. You are a person who knows what you are doing. I don't want to ask too much. But I want to remind you that you must be sensible in everything." The Queen Mother reminded.
