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

Zheng Xiyan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Don't worry, mother. I understand."

"The Concubine Chen gave birth to a son and a daughter, which is indeed a great achievement. It is reasonable for the Emperor to make her the Concubine Chen, but she is not someone who would keep content." The Empress Dowager hinted at something, and the expression on her face became more and more wrong.

Zheng Xiyan said quickly: "I know, I will definitely discipline the concubines strictly."

"Ah."

"Shen Zhaorong is about to give birth, the Queen needs to pay more attention to her."

"Yes!" Zheng Xiyan's eyes darkened and she understood.

When Zheng Xiyan was about to leave, the Queen Mother said meaningfully: "Queen! There are some things I can choose not to ask about, but if it touches my bottom line, I will have to ask about it."

Zheng Xiyan stopped and turned to bow to the Queen Mother, "I understand, please rest assured, Mother."

After Zheng Xiyan left Shoukang Palace, Biluo asked worriedly, "My queen, I'm afraid the queen mother has already known something!"

"She may be suspicious, but don't worry. If this matter is exposed, it will damage the reputation of the royal family. Even if the queen mother really knows, she will never let it develop like this."

"The good news that Concubine Chen gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, has not yet spread throughout the entire Shangjing City. If the Empress Dowager knew about it, she would still be able to stop it, but the Empress Dowager did nothing, so she probably didn't know about it." Zheng Xiyan analyzed.

"So what should we do next?" Biluo asked.

"Don't worry. Concubine Shen will give birth in more than half a month. The enthronement ceremony of Concubine Chen must wait until after she finishes her confinement. Don't worry, the good show will begin soon." Zheng Xiyan curled her lips and smiled lightly, looking like everything was under control. This time, neither of them could escape.

"Yes!"

"Keep a close eye on Yong'an Palace these days. I'm going to give His Majesty a big gift." Zheng Xiyan's expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Don't worry, Madam."

Zheng Xiyan was quite surprised that Xiao Xuanchen came to Weiyang Palace that night. She thought that the two of them went back to Zichen Palace together during the day, so Zhao Cairen would definitely sleep in Zichen Palace tonight?

"Your Majesty, I welcome you respectfully." Zheng Xiyan stepped forward and saluted with a smile.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen pulled her into the bedroom. Zheng Xiyan saw that he was in a good mood. She thought that he was really happy that Concubine Chen gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. But she didn't know whether he would smile after knowing the truth.

"Look how happy Your Majesty is." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

Xiao Xuanchen raised his lips and said with a smile: "Of course I am happy. There are two more children in the palace all of a sudden. I am very happy."

"Your Majesty is right. I am happy too. In more than half a month, Shen Zhaorong will give birth. There are happy events one after another in the palace. This is all thanks to God bless Your Majesty and God bless Daliang." Zheng Xiyan's words made Xiao Xuanchen very happy.

"What the Queen said is right. However, compared to their happy events, I want to hear about the Queen's happy events more." Xiao Xuanchen caressed her soft hair affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness.

Zheng Xiyan was slightly stunned. What did he mean? "What is your majesty talking about? What good news do I have?"

Xiao Xuanchen stretched out his hand to hook her waist, raised the corner of his mouth, and chuckled: "The Queen and I can't have only Ji'er as our only child. The more children the better. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is right. I have no way to refute it."

Xiao Xuanchen raised his lips into a wicked smile, then picked her up and walked towards the bed.

The next day, shortly after Xiao Xuanchen went to the morning court, Princess Chengyang came to the palace to ask for a meeting.

As soon as Zheng Xiyan stood up, Zi Luo came in and reported, "Empress, Princess Chengyang has entered the palace."

"Please ask mother to come in." Zheng Xiyan said.

"Yes!"

The news that Xi Muyao gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, had already spread throughout the entire Shangjing City. Princess Chengyang was so worried that she couldn't sleep the whole night and went to the palace early in the morning.

"Yan'er."

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Xiyan saw that her mother looked tired and had dark circles under her eyes.

Zheng Xiyan gave Biluo a look, and Biluo tactfully retreated with a group of palace maids.

"Xi Zhaoyi, no, now she's Chen Fei. She gave birth to the third prince and the second princess. This..." Princess Chengyang was worried that Chen Fei and her son would threaten the status of her daughter and grandson.

Zheng Xiyan didn't need to think too much, she knew it must be because of this matter, she calmly helped her mother sit down, "Mom, sit down."

"How come you're not anxious at all, kid?" Princess Chengyang was so anxious.

"Mother, why should I be anxious?" Zheng Xiyan said calmly.

"Twins, a boy and a girl, are auspicious. This is rare in the royal family. Now people outside the palace are saying that Concubine Chen was blessed by God and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. This is a good omen." Princess Chengyang's face was full of anxiety.

Zheng Xiyan sneered, "Mother, do you believe it? It's obvious that someone is deliberately instigating this."

"Even if someone deliberately instigated it, the Concubine Chen has now given birth to twins, will others care whether it was someone who instigated it?"

"Mother! Think about it carefully. Has there been any news that Concubine Chen was pregnant with twins before?" Zheng Xiyan raised the corners of her lips, turned her eyes slightly, and said meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Princess Chengyang suddenly realized something. Could it be... "You mean..."

"Twins? Where did the twins come from?" Zheng Xiyan sneered. Speaking of which, Xi Muyao was really brave.

"Don't worry, mother. Everything is under your daughter's control. Let Concubine Chen be proud for a few days! But she won't be proud for a few days. Her true colors will soon be revealed."

Princess Chengyang asked, "You knew this early in the morning?"

"I knew from the beginning that Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning were both pregnant with princesses. I thought they would switch the baby, but I didn't expect them to use this trick. But there is no difference. They are just confusing the royal bloodline. It is also a capital crime." Zheng Xiyan raised the last word of her voice.

"Shen Zhaorong is also pregnant with a princess?"

"Ah."

"Are you waiting for Shen Zhaorong to give birth?" Princess Chengyang knew what she was going to do next.

"Of course. They won't use the same trick again as the risk is too great. So the only option is to replace the dragon with the phoenix." Zheng Xiyan took a sip of tea and smiled very deliberately.

Princess Chengyang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, this is the only way. Unless Shen Zhaorong stops the loss in time, this is the only way."

"She might cut her losses in time. If she steals a dragon and replaces a phoenix, she will be separated from her own flesh and blood. But Xi Muyao may not agree. After all, if she does this, Shen Aoning will have something on Xi Muyao. Xi Muyao will definitely not take this risk."

"I guess Shen Aoning must be very conflicted now. Should she keep her daughter or take the risk of exchanging her for a prince? They are sisters with deep affection. The Xi family and the Shen family are old friends and have inextricable connections."
