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

"Your Majesty! After all, the two princesses are your own flesh and blood. Please be lenient with them." Zheng Xiyan walked forward. Her tone and expression were so calm, without any ripples.

In Xiao Xuanchen's opinion, she always considered the overall situation and had no selfish motives at all.

Xiao Xuanchen was a little moved after hearing her words.

Then Zheng Xiyan said sternly, "Concubine Chen, why don't you tell the truth? Do you really want to watch your child being strangled to death?"

"Empress, why should I admit to something I didn't do?" Xi Muyao refused to admit it and still maintained her sense of superiority.

"You are so stubborn. Do you have to let me torture the palace maids around you before you admit it?" Zheng Xiyan's expression was cold and chilling.

Shen Aoning crawled to her on her knees and advised, "Sister, just confess! His Majesty is kind and will definitely give you a lighter sentence."

"Shen Aoning, shut up. I have never done such a thing. The third prince and the second princess are my own children." Xi Muyao pushed Shen Aoning away. This idiot, not only is he stupid, but he also wants to implicate her.

"Sister! You..." Shen Aoning collapsed on the ground, tears in her eyes. She was beyond help.

Xiao Xuanchen's face turned sinister. He couldn't tolerate being toyed with by the two of them.

Xu Chongyuan continued, "Your Majesty! The facts are in front of us. The Third Prince is not your flesh and blood at all."

"Your Majesty! Concubine Chen and Shen Zhaorong have confused the royal bloodline. Now the evidence is irrefutable. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Your Majesty must severely punish them."

"Your Majesty, you must not be soft-hearted!"

Zheng Xiyan looked at him. She knew very well that if this kind of thing got out, it would damage Xiao Xuanchen's dignity, which was not what he wanted to see, so she said considerately: "Your Majesty! After all, this matter concerns the face of the royal family, and it must not be spread. I have ordered people to block the news in advance. It's just dawn, Your Majesty, you should go to the morning court."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will make sure this matter is handled flawlessly." Zheng Xiyan's face was calm, and her expression did not change at all, which made Xiao Xuanchen feel relieved.

"Your Majesty! The morning court is about to begin. All civil and military officials should be in the Taiji Hall by now. The morning court cannot be delayed." Zheng Xiyan's eyes were clear and deep, and she exuded an aura that could not be ignored.

Xiao Xuanchen's expression eased a little, and he said in a low voice: "The Queen is right, the morning court cannot be delayed, and Concubine Shen Zhaorong will be locked up here. As for those two evil creatures, immediately..."

Zheng Xiyan immediately stopped him and said, "Your Majesty! The children are innocent, and their crimes do not deserve death. I dare to ask Your Majesty to spare these two children!"

Xiao Xuanchen looked angry, but still agreed, "Everything is up to you."

"Yes!"

"As for other matters, I will make a decision after the morning court." Xiao Xuanchen showed a cold look between his brows and murderous intent in his eyes.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Please believe me. The Third Prince is your Majesty's biological son. Please believe me, okay?" Xi Muyao crawled to Xiao Xuanchen's feet and hugged his thighs, "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Xuanchen looked impatient and kicked her away, "Bitch!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Zheng Xiyan saw him off. Before he left, Zheng Xiyan stepped forward and straightened his collar, smiling lightly and elegantly, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor. You don't have to take this trivial matter to heart. Concubine Chen and Shen Zhaorong committed such a serious crime. It was their own fault. It has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

"Yan'er, how can I still be called an emperor when I was deceived by two bitches?" Xiao Xuanchen wished he could tear them both into pieces right now.

Zheng Xiyan shook her head slightly, taking all the responsibility on herself, and said guiltily: "Your Majesty, you are busy with all kinds of affairs, and you are bound to be too busy to take care of the affairs of the harem. As the queen, I have failed to fulfill my duties. Please punish me, Your Majesty." As she said this, Zheng Xiyan was about to kneel down to apologize.

Xiao Xuanchen stopped her and said, "How can you be blamed for this? These two bitches deserve to die."

Zheng Xiyan said at the right time: "Your Majesty! You should go to the morning court first! As for other matters, we can make a decision after Your Majesty finishes the morning court."

"Yes." Xiao Xuanchen calmed down and turned to leave. Zheng Xiyan bowed to his back and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."

After Xiao Xuanchen left, Biluo came over and asked, "My queen, what should we do now?"

Zheng Xiyan looked very happy, with a slight smile on her face, and sneered: "The Concubine Chen and Shen Zhaorong are confined to Yong'an Palace, and people are sent to guard them strictly. They are not allowed to leave without being summoned."

"Yes."

"Take away all the servants of Yong'an Palace and send them to the Ministry of Punishment for detention, awaiting your majesty's decision."

"Take the second and third princesses back to Weiyang Palace first and have them taken care of by the wet nurse. As for the two baby boys, send them out of the palace and return them to their parents." Zheng Xiyan gave the instructions one by one.

"Yes!"

Xu Chongyuan and Zhao Cairen walked out of the hall at this time. Xi Muyao followed behind them with a poisonous look in her eyes. She pushed them hard and rushed out, "Zheng Xiyan, you vicious woman..."

"Your Majesty, please be careful." Biluo and others immediately stepped forward to protect Zheng Xiyan.

The eunuchs rushed up and detained Xi Muyao.

Xu Chongyuan and Zhao Cairen were startled and quickly dodged away.

"Zheng Xiyan! It's you who harmed me, right?" Xi Muyao's hair was loose, and she looked like a mad woman, without her usual dignity.

Zheng Xiyan turned around and looked at her coldly, "I'm harming you? How ridiculous! Did I ask you to confuse the royal bloodline? You found a baby boy from outside the palace and announced to the public that you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. I really don't know whether I should say you are smart or stupid?"

"It's you. All this is because of you." Xi Muyao screamed heartbreakingly. Everything was going so smoothly, but it was all because of her. It was all because of her that she failed.

"Because of whom? You know it very well, Xi Muyao, you lost, completely lost." Zheng Xiyan sneered, then raised her eyelids slightly and said in a cold voice: "Come here, why don't you quickly invite the Queen Consort Chen in."

"Yes! Your Majesty the Queen."

Xi Muyao raised her noble head and said unwillingly: "No need, I can walk by myself."

Xu Chongyuan and Zhao Cairen walked down the steps and came to Zheng Xiyan, "Empress."

"Now that the show is over, it's time for us to leave." Zheng Xiyan curled the corners of her mouth, looking pleased.

"Yes!"

"My child, my child, don't take my child away." Shen Aoning's crying voice was heard in the hall.

Zheng Xiyan didn't look back and said, "Let's go to Shoukang Palace."

"Yes!"

The wet nurse and the midwife brought out the four children, and Shen Aoning chased after them, "Who dares to take my children away?"

Zheng Xiyan walked to the door and stopped, and said with a dignified face: "Listen to me carefully, Concubine Chen and Shen Zhaorong are not allowed to step out of the main hall, otherwise, you will have to watch your heads."

"The slave obeys."

Shen Aoning rushed over and knelt in front of her, "Empress, Empress, I don't ask for anything. I just want to keep my daughter by your side. I beg you, can you help me?" Shen Aoning grabbed the corner of Zheng Xiyan's clothes and cried bitterly.

"Shen Aoning! Are you crazy?" Xi Muyao scolded, "You are so self-deprecating, yet you beg her like this?"

Shen Aoning ignored her. She just wanted to keep her daughter by her side. Why, why was it so difficult?
