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

Zheng Xiyan said, "Your Majesty! Xu Chongyuan is right. Shen Zhaorong gave birth to the fourth prince last night, but the midwife left the palace early in the morning with a baby girl. This is really hard to explain."

Xiao Xuanchen stared at Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning with sinister eyes and asked, "How do you two explain this matter?"

Xi Muyao said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know. I really don't know where this baby girl came from? How could she have left Yong'an Palace?"

Xu Chongyuan continued, "The midwife is from Yong'an Palace and left Yong'an Palace. How could she have nothing to do with you? Empress Chenfei, do you think His Majesty and the Empress are easy to fool?"

"Your Majesty, please smell it carefully. There is still a smell of blood on this midwife that has not yet dissipated." Xu Chongyuan said coldly.

"Shen Zhaorong had just given birth, and the bloody smell in the bedroom must have not yet dissipated. The midwife must have taken the princess out of the palace after delivering Shen Zhaorong's baby. As for the fourth prince, he must have been brought in from outside the palace to confuse the royal bloodline."

Xi Muyao was exposed and immediately became angry: "Xu Chongyuan, stop talking nonsense and slandering me and Shen Zhaorong."

"Your Majesty, you know very well whether I am slandering you. Otherwise, I would like to ask Your Majesty to explain where this baby girl came from?" Xu Chongyuan asked.

"Your Majesty! I really have no idea. Maybe the child was born from an affair between a palace maid and a guard. This has happened in the previous dynasty. Your Majesty, please understand!" Xi Muyao said.

Xu Chongyuan immediately retorted: "If the palace maid gave birth to a baby girl, why did she let the midwife send her out of the palace? And why did the midwife help the palace maid?"

"Your Majesty! The Concubine Chen is clearly lying." Xu Chongyuan pressed on.

"Also, Your Majesty! I have always suspected that the Concubine Chen gave birth to twins. I am really puzzled. Not to mention that there has never been any news that the Concubine Chen was pregnant with twins. If a woman has twins, her belly will be much bigger than that of an ordinary woman. And I have also heard that when these twins were first born, they were much weaker than ordinary fetuses, and they might even have congenital deficiencies."

"But the third prince and second princess born to Empress Chen weighed six kilograms, the same size as ordinary babies. How is this possible?" Xu Chongyuan knelt on the ground with an extremely serious expression.

Xi Muyao was speechless and knelt on the ground, her body shaking uncontrollably. They clearly came prepared, and she really underestimated them.

Zheng Xiyan walked up to Xiao Xuanchen, with a calm face but a heavy tone, and said, "Your Majesty! What Xu Chongyuan said is not without reason. This is related to the royal bloodline, and we must investigate it thoroughly."

Xiao Xuanchen remembered that the imperial physician had reported to him before that there was an 80% chance that the fetus in Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning's belly was a princess, and that Xi Muyao had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. He began to have some doubts, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that she would not be so bold as to do such a thing.

But now that Shen Zhaorong has given birth to a prince, it is impossible for the imperial doctors to make mistakes twice, so it can only be...

Concubine Zhao, who was standing by, was witnessing such a scene for the first time. She was so frightened that she dared not even breathe. It turned out that there was so much intrigue in the palace. In order to win favor and give birth to a prince, some people would stop at nothing and even dare to confuse the prince's bloodline?

"Your Majesty! The babies born to Concubine Chen were definitely not twins, they must be princesses. Concubine Chen wanted a prince, but she couldn't bear to give up a daughter, so she deliberately brought a baby boy from outside the palace and announced to the public that she had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl." Xu Chongyuan continued.

"And Shen Zhaorong must be pregnant with a princess. But they dare not use the same trick again. They can only replace the dragon with the phoenix, Your Majesty! They tried to confuse the royal bloodline and seize your kingdom, Your Majesty..." After these words came out, the hall became even quieter.

Xiao Xuanchen's eyes became increasingly cold, and Zheng Xiyan quickly winked at Xu Chongyuan, signaling her to stop talking.

Shen Aoning collapsed to the ground. Seeing her daughter in the midwife's arms, she didn't want anything else. "My child, my daughter, give my daughter back to me."

Xi Muyao glared at her with disgust, "idiot, bastard."

Shen Aoning crawled to Xiao Xuanchen's feet and said, "Your Majesty, I gave birth to a princess, I gave birth to a princess. I beg Your Majesty, please don't separate us mother and daughter, I beg you..." Shen Aoning kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, my sister asked me to do all this. I didn't want to do this. I really didn't want to do this..." Shen Aoning grabbed the corner of Xiao Xuanchen's clothes and pushed all the blame on Xi Muyao.

"Shen Aoning...you..." Xi Muyao widened her eyes, not daring to imagine that she...she actually dared to betray her.

"Sister! I told you a long time ago that I don't want to replace a daughter with another one. I want to keep my daughter by my side, but you insisted on doing so." Shen Aoning didn't care about anything else now. She just wanted to keep her daughter by her side.

Xu Chongyuan curled her lips and chuckled, "Your Majesty! Shen Zhaorong has already admitted that she gave birth to a princess, not a prince."

Zheng Xiyan saw that Xiao Xuanchen's face was getting uglier and uglier, and he was emitting a chill all over his body. She angrily said, "You are so bold!"

"Your Majesty..." Zheng Xiyan was about to speak but was interrupted by Xiao Xuanchen.

Xiao Xuanchen walked up to Xi Muyao, pinched her chin hard, and asked with red eyes: "Concubine Chen! I ask you, is the baby you gave birth to a prince or a princess?"

Xi Muyao refused to admit it at this moment, and said, "Your Majesty! I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and everyone in the world knows about it."

"Twins?" Xiao Xuanchen looked at the wet nurse and said, "Bring the third prince and the second princess here."

"Yes!"

"I'll ask you one last time, is the baby you gave birth to a prince or a princess?" Xiao Xuanchen panted, his face full of anger.

"They are indeed twins, a boy and a girl. Your Majesty can see clearly!" Xi Muyao refused to admit it. As long as she refused to admit it, no one could do anything to her.

Xiao Xuanchen's face was terrifyingly sinister, and he said in a cold voice: "If you still don't admit it, I will order people to strangle the third prince and the second princess to death."

Everyone was shocked, "Your Majesty!" Zheng Xiyan also widened her eyes, not daring to imagine it.

"Your Majesty! They are all your flesh and blood, you can't be so cruel! Your Majesty!" The Concubine Chen rushed forward and hugged his thighs.

Xiao Xuanchen said ruthlessly: "The prince and princess of unknown origin, I will naturally execute them to protect the face of the royal family."

Zheng Xiyan was shocked, her mouth half open. She really didn't expect him to be so cruel. But when she thought about it carefully, it was not surprising. He had done this kind of thing many times in his previous life.

"Empress Chen, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise even your daughter will be in danger." Zheng Xiyan reminded.

Xi Muyao was struggling internally at the moment, but she couldn't admit it, "Your Majesty! The babies I gave birth to are indeed twins, a boy and a girl."

It's really unexpected that he is so stubborn.

"Okay! Come, take the third prince and the second princess away to be executed." The anger in Xiao Xuanchen's eyes seemed to be able to ignite the air around him.
