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

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The palace servants knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, don't get angry and get yourself hurt." Zheng Xiyan comforted him in a deep voice, and immediately ordered the palace servants, "Hurry up and clean up."

"Yes!"

"Concubine Chen and Shen Zhaorong are so bold that they have confused the royal bloodline and played with me in the palm of their hands. If I don't kill them, I will not be able to relieve the hatred in my heart." Xiao Xuanchen slammed the table heavily.

The Queen Mother said solemnly: "Emperor!"

Xiao Xuanchen's expression eased a little, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"Concubine Chen and Concubine Shen deserve to die, but the harem and the former dynasty are closely connected. Once they are touched, the former dynasty will be in chaos." The Empress Dowager looked serious and spoke in a deep voice.

"What does mother mean? Just let them both go?" Xiao Xuanchen couldn't swallow this anger.

"Emperor! You must understand the current situation. Previously, Feng Qingyi was sentenced to death for murdering the heir to the throne. You took the opportunity to uproot the Feng family, shocking the court and the public. But what will be the consequences of doing so and what impact will it have on the situation in the court?"

"The Feng family alone is not a threat, but if we get rid of the Xi family and the Shen family at the same time, the government will really change. If this causes turmoil in the government and people's hearts, it is really inappropriate and not worth the risk." The Queen Mother analyzed calmly and spoke to him earnestly.

"Just the Xi family and the Shen family, do you think I am afraid of them?" Xiao Xuanchen was angry now and would not listen to anything. He just wanted to make these two bitches pay the price.

The Queen Mother walked up to Xiao Xuanchen, patted his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Leaving Concubine Chen and Shen Zhaorong alone for now does not mean that this matter will be easily dismissed. Concubine Chen and Shen Zhaorong will be confined to Yong'an Palace and cannot leave without an imperial decree. The two princesses will be sent to Shou'an Palace to be raised by the concubines."

"After a year or so, they will be executed in secret. The Xi and Shen families cannot be touched for the time being."

Zheng Xiyan spoke up at this time: "Mother, after that, the princesses will have their 100-day banquet and first birthday banquet. As the princess' biological mother, Chen Fei Shen Zhaorong will naturally have to attend. Besides, Chen Fei's canonization ceremony will also be held after the second princess is one month old. How should we..."

"This matter couldn't be simpler. The enthronement ceremony will be held as usual. Afterwards, you have to attend the princess's 100-day banquet and first birthday banquet. By the way, Shen Zhaorong should also be promoted to a higher position after giving birth to a princess. What does the emperor think?"

Xiao Xuanchen hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to do as his mother wished. "Your Majesty is right, then let's promote Shen Zhaorong to Consort Shu!"

Zheng Xiyan didn't know what to say after seeing this. Anyway, Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning were completely finished. "Yes, I obey your command."

But in this case, we have to wait for the second and third princesses’ first birthday banquets, which is a year. During this time, who can guarantee what will really happen?

After coming out of Shoukang Palace, Zheng Xiyan called out to Xiao Xuanchen, "Your Majesty!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuanchen stopped and turned to look at her.

Zheng Xiyan took his hand and said gently, "I want to take a walk and talk with Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen was feeling very upset and wanted to relax, so he agreed.

The two were walking in front, with the palace servants behind them staying far away.

Seeing that he was still angry, Zheng Xiyan comforted him, "I know your majesty is angry, but no matter how angry you are, please take care of yourself."

"I really didn't expect that the two of them would be so bold?"

"Your Majesty! The concubines in the palace all want to give birth to a prince for Your Majesty, and there is nothing wrong with that." Zheng Xiyan said in a low voice.

"Nothing to blame?"

Zheng Xiyan was stunned and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"What the Queen means is that once you enter the palace you should strive for favor, even by any means necessary?" Xiao Xuanchen looked at her in disbelief.

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Isn't it? Otherwise, why would you enter the palace? Since you have entered the palace, who wouldn't want to be favored by His Majesty and give birth to a prince for His Majesty?"

"Why can't people be simpler?" Xiao Xuanchen suddenly said.

Zheng Xiyan's expression changed, and she looked at him with disdain. What he said was really ridiculous. "Your Majesty! This palace is the center of power in the world, the seat of power. How can people be simple?"

Innocent? People like you, what qualifications do you have to let others be innocent?

"Your Majesty grew up in the palace since childhood, why do you still have such questions?" Zheng Xiyan couldn't help but ask.

"It is precisely because I grew up in the palace that I want to know if there are any simple people in this world. Because in this palace, I have never seen a simple person."

"Of course there is. Isn't Concubine Zhao a simple-minded person? Otherwise, why does His Majesty favor her so much?" Zheng Xiyan curled her lips, raised her eyebrows, and chuckled.

At least, in his opinion, when Concubine Zhao was in front of him, she really showed a simple mind. "I hope I am not wrong about her. She is really a simple person by nature, just like I thought."

Zheng Xiyan smiled coldly and said, "This also means that in your majesty's heart, I have never been a simple person."

"You are the daughter of Duke Zheng and Princess Chengyang, and the granddaughter of King Chu. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if I believed that you are a naive person?" Xiao Xuanchen's eyes changed, and there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

"You are the queen, my first wife, and simplicity does not suit you." Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

Zheng Xiyan lowered her eyes and smiled, then replied, "Your Majesty is right."

Zheng Xiyan thought to herself that it was time to tell him the news. "Your Majesty, I want to tell you a good news. Although now is not a good time, I want to make you happy."

"What good news?"

"I'm pregnant." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

Xiao Xuanchen was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized it belatedly, "What did you say?"

Zheng Xiyan took his hand and placed it on her belly, "I am pregnant. Your Majesty will be a father again."

Xiao Xuanchen subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, "She's pregnant again."

"Well. Your Majesty, are you happy to hear this good news?" Zheng Xiyan pretended to look at him innocently, which made him lose his understanding of her for a moment.

Xiao Xuanchen smiled and said, "I am happy, I am very happy."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty and I already have Ji'er. Can I have a princess this time?" Zheng Xiyan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled gently.

"Okay! Princess, I like you too." Xiao Xuanchen also hoped so, hoping that she would really be pregnant with a princess this time.
