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

"I think you are really crazy. Even at this point, you still have delusions?" Shen Aoning supported his hands on the ground, frowned, and stared at her resignedly.

"Shen Aoning, I'm not you. I won't be defeated so easily like you." Xi Muyao gritted her teeth and said viciously.

Shen Aoning used all her strength to grab her wrist, tears on her face, and screamed: "All this is because of you. I have told you many times that I don't want a prince, I only want my daughter. I begged you so much, please don't take my daughter away, but what did you do?"

Xi Muyao shook her off with all her strength, gritting her teeth and roaring, "You agreed to everything I did beforehand. Now that things have been discovered, you are blaming me for everything. What were you doing before?"

"No! This is all because of you. It's because you forced me to do this. Otherwise, I would not abandon my daughter. It's all because of you..." Shen Aoning rushed forward, sat on her, and strangled her neck with both hands.

“Ah…” Xi Muyao was thrown to the ground and struggled hard, “You…let me go…” Xi Muyao’s face gradually turned red, and the blue veins on her face bulged out.

"It's you who caused me to end up like this. You deserve to die, you deserve to die..." Shen Aoning was so emotional that she really took ruthless action.

Xi Muyao felt like she was suffocating, and she used all her strength to push the man away, "Cough cough cough..."

Xi Muyao's tears came out, her neck turned red, and she looked at her in disbelief, "We grew up together, and you...you actually want to kill me?"

"Don't you know how I have treated you since you entered the palace? But you actually want to kill me?" Xi Muyao's heart was stabbed by a needle, and she felt extremely heartbroken. Why did they sisters become like this?

"Yes! We grew up together, entered the palace together, and depended on each other in this harem. I trusted you and relied on you so much, but what about you? How did you treat me? You kept your biological daughter by your side, but you wanted to send my daughter away. Why?" Shen Aoning asked while crying.

"You don't need to make high-sounding excuses here. It's all your fault that we have come to this point today." Shen Aoning pointed at her and glared at her viciously.

“Hahaha…” Xi Muyao raised her head and laughed, then said with disdain: “Shen Aoning, ask yourself, without me for so many years, with your pig brain, you would have died a thousand times by now.”

"I have a pig brain, huh~ You are smart! But now you are still imprisoned in the Yong'an Palace like me. It's the same for us two!" Shen Aoning said in a hoarse voice.

"You are wrong. I will never be locked up in Yong'an Palace like this." Xi Muyao said confidently.

"What do you mean?" Shen Aoning's face changed slightly, and his expression was gloomy and unclear.

"This has nothing to do with you. Since you have already broken off with me, your life or death has nothing to do with me." Xi Muyao's eyes were cold and her smile was vicious.

"Xi Muyao, don't forget that our Majesty is not a kind person. Have you forgotten what happened to Feng Qingyi?"

"We are different from her. Feng Qingyi originally tried to murder the prince." Xi Muyao said unwillingly in a cold voice.

"You are really crazy, you are hopeless." Shen Aoning roared.

Shoukang Palace

The Queen Mother was still asleep. Zheng Xiyan came to Shoukang Palace and Nanny Yu came out to greet her. “Greetings to the Queen Mother.”

"Madam Yu, there's no need to be so polite. I want to see the Queen Mother." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

Nanny Yu was a little surprised, "Empress, why are you here so early in the morning?"

"Something happened in Yong'an Palace. I want to see my mother. Please let Madam Yu know."

Yu Mama realized the seriousness of the situation, as if something big had happened, "Your Majesty, please move to the main hall and wait for a moment."

"Thank you, Aunt Yu."

Zheng Xiyan arrived at the main hall, and the palace maid served her tea and snacks. Zheng Xiyan hadn't even had a sip of tea so early in the morning, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Nanny Yu walked into the bedroom, came to the bed, and called softly, "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, wake up."

"What's wrong? Why did you wake me up?" The Queen Mother was woken up and looked impatient.

"Empress Dowager, the Queen requests to see you, saying that something big happened in Yong'an Palace." Nanny Yu said in a low voice.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Something big happened in Yong'an Palace?"

Nanny Yu stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother sit up, "Please let the Queen in."

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan walked into the bedroom alone, came to the Queen Mother, bowed and greeted, "Your son greets you, mother."

"Don't be so polite. What happened?" the Queen Mother asked anxiously.

"Mother, Shen Zhaorong of Yong'an Palace gave birth to a prince last night." Before Zheng Xiyan finished her words, the Queen Mother spoke up, "This is good news!"

Zheng Xiyan continued, "But at dawn, the eunuchs around Xu Chongyuan of Minghua Palace found a midwife carrying a baby girl coming out of Yong'an Palace, and it looked like she was about to leave the palace."

"Afterwards, Xu Chongyuan sent someone to report to me, so I quickly took people to Yong'an Palace, but found..."

Zheng Xiyan recounted the whole story in detail.

The Empress Dowager's expression became increasingly uglier and darker.

"Mother! His Majesty has gone to the Taiji Palace for the morning court session. Concubine Chen and Shen Zhaorong are both imprisoned in Yong'an Palace. The two baby boys have been sent out of the palace, and the two princesses have been sent to Weiyang Palace and are being taken care of by a wet nurse."

"But after that, I'll leave it to Mother and Your Majesty to decide how to deal with Concubine Chen and Concubine Shen."

The Queen Mother looked at her seriously, "What do you think the Queen should do?"

"Your son is stupid, please enlighten me, mother." Zheng Xiyan's heart tightened and she clenched her fists.

The Queen Mother looked at her coldly and asked, "Queen! You didn't know about this in advance, did you?"

"What do you mean, mother?" Zheng Xiyan pretended to be calm.

"This harem is under your control. How could you not know about this kind of thing happening one after another?"

Zheng Xiyan was very calm and said, "Mother, I was not aware of this beforehand. Please understand."

The Queen Mother stared at her the whole time, but then she changed her mind and realized that even if the Queen knew, she would not dare to act rashly without solid evidence. "I am not going to hold you accountable. There is no point in holding you accountable now. If something like this were to spread, it would be a disgrace to the royal family."

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

The Queen Mother asked, "What does the Emperor mean?"

"Your Majesty has not yet made up his mind."

"The good news that the Concubine Chen gave birth to twins has long been known to the world. It has only been a short time. If it were to be reported that the Third Prince is not..."

"I think that announcing to the public that the third prince died young can also save the royal family's reputation. As for Consort Chen and Consort Shen..."

The Queen Mother thought about it and decided that this was the only solution left. "Just find a reason to banish her to the cold palace."

"Yes!"

"After the emperor finishes his morning court session, have him come to Shoukang Palace."

"Yes!"

Xiao Xuanchen was absent-minded throughout the entire morning court, and his face was very gloomy in front of the court officials.

After the morning court session ended, Xiao Xuanchen went directly to Shoukang Palace without even changing out of his court robes.

Zheng Xiyan was helping the Queen Mother wash and change her clothes when she heard the eunuch outside shouting, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Xiao Xuanchen's face was not good, "Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother."

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Everyone, sit down!"

Nanny Yu came to serve tea. Xiao Xuanchen picked up the teacup and took a big gulp of tea, "Your Majesty!" Then he threw the teacup to the ground, and all the palace servants in the hall were startled.
