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

Biluo said: "It seems that His Majesty still attaches great importance to Concubine Xian and her son."

Zheng Xiyan chuckled, but didn't think so. "Let's see if His Majesty will go to Chonghua Palace tomorrow?"

"Does Your Majesty think His Majesty will go?" Shuang Ning asked.

"Zhao Shaoxi is so favored now. When she claims to be sick, His Majesty can leave Concubine Wen to accompany her. If she is really a smart person, she should know the importance of the matter and be more aware of her current situation, instead of seeking death again and again." Zheng Xiyan said coldly.

"That's what the Queen said."

The next morning, Xiao Xuanchen came back from the morning court and returned to the Zichen Palace, where the eunuch in front of the emperor helped him change his clothes.

Xiao Xuanchen changed into casual clothes and sat down at the desk. The eunuch in front of the emperor came over and reminded him, "Your Majesty! Yesterday you promised the Concubine Xian that you would go to Chonghua Palace to visit her and the Second Prince today."

Xiao Xuanchen had obviously forgotten about this matter. He slapped his forehead and said, "Fortunately you reminded me to go to Chonghua Palace."

"Yes!"

Xiao Xuanchen got on the imperial sedan chair and headed towards Chonghua Palace. Unexpectedly, just as he reached the imperial garden, a maid from Yihua Palace appeared. Xiao Xuanchen recognized her as a maid from Yihua Palace and ordered, "Stop!"

"Stop!" the eunuch in front of the emperor shouted hurriedly.

The maid knelt down immediately, "Your Majesty! Concubine Yi suddenly feels unwell, Your Majesty, please go and take a look."

The eunuch in front of the emperor frowned. By now, he was no longer surprised. This Concubine Yi was probably pretending to be sick again. This trick had been used so many times. Couldn't she try another one?

Xiao Xuanchen hesitated for a moment and ordered, "Go to Yihua Palace."

The eunuch in front of the emperor looked slightly gloomy, and said quickly: "Yes! Let's go to Yihua Palace."

He noticed the palace maid's upturned expression and her eyes changed slightly. It was normal for concubines to compete for favor, but Concubine Yi was going too far.

And His Majesty just let Concubine Yi do what she wanted. How could His Majesty, who is so smart, not see that Concubine Yi was lying to him?

Weiyang Palace

As soon as Zi Rui got the news about the Imperial Garden, Xiao Xuanchen went to Yihua Palace, and immediately came to report, "Your Majesty!"

Zheng Xiyan looked up at her and guessed what she was going to say, "Your Majesty went to Yihua Palace?"

"Your Majesty was right. As soon as His Majesty arrived at the Imperial Garden, he was stopped by the maids of Yihua Palace. He should have arrived at Yihua Palace by now."

Zheng Xiyan raised the corner of her mouth, her eyes deep as she said, "As expected!"

“Your Majesty! It is impossible that Your Majesty did not see through Concubine Yi’s methods of competing for favor, but I don’t understand why Your Majesty…” Biluo said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Why? Maybe you find it interesting!"

"Interesting?" Shuang Ning frowned and became more and more confused.

"There are so many women in the harem. Do you think any of them dare to compete for favor so blatantly? Most of the concubines are from famous families and have been taught to be dignified and proper since childhood. Your Majesty is tired of seeing them."

"Now, it's rare that a woman who can please him and openly compete for his favor comes along. Anyone would find her interesting and pay some attention to her."

"Your Majesty is only attracted to her because of the novelty in her now. Once the novelty wears off, pretending to be sick will become ineffective sooner or later." Zheng Xiyan knew Xiao Xuanchen too well. Even if he really cared about her now, in the end, this Concubine Yi was no different from all the women in the harem.

"Your Majesty is right. The virtuous concubine went to the Purple Palace yesterday, and His Majesty also promised to go to Chonghua Palace to visit the virtuous concubine and the second prince today. Now His Majesty has been intercepted by Concubine Yi. Even if the virtuous concubine has a good temper, she will definitely feel resentful."

"Xianfei?" Zheng Xiyan tapped the table with her fingers, her expression very subtle, "Have someone keep an eye on every move in Chonghua Palace, and report any disturbance to me."

"Yes, I'll give the order right away." Biluo bowed and left.

Chonghua Palace

The virtuous concubine had the palace maids prepare Xiao Xuanchen's favorite meal early in the morning, and she also changed into a light blue skirt. His Majesty once said that he liked to see her wearing light blue clothes the most, as it suited her skin tone very well.

The palace servant walked in cautiously. Concubine Xian thought it was His Majesty who came, and asked hurriedly, "But His Majesty has come?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty... His Majesty went to Yihua Palace..." the palace maid replied with her eyes lowered.

"Yihua Palace, Concubine Yi?" Concubine Xian's face changed slightly and she frowned. It was her again, her again.

"Your Majesty was originally coming to our place, but when he arrived at the Imperial Garden, the maids from Yihua Palace stopped him and said that Concubine Yi was not feeling well and asked His Majesty to go ahead. So His Majesty turned around and went to Yihua Palace."

Xian Fei's face turned pale. Since becoming His Majesty's concubine, she had never been so angry as she was today. She almost gritted her teeth and said, "I know, you can leave now!"

"Yes, the slaves retire."

The maid helped Concubine Xian into the palace. Concubine Xian suppressed her anger and sat on the couch. She looked at the food on the table in front of her and said coldly, "Let's leave!"

"Your Majesty hasn't had your meal yet. Why don't you eat first?" the palace maid said carefully.

"If His Majesty is not coming, I have no appetite either. Please take it away!" Concubine Xian looked at the dish of water chestnut cake on the table. She had gotten up early in the morning and made it herself in the small kitchen. What a pity.

"Yes, withdraw!"

"Jieyi has intercepted His Majesty time and again, and the Empress doesn't care." The maid said dissatisfiedly.

"The Queen?" Concubine Xian said coldly, "The Queen will not care. No matter how bold Concubine Yi is, she will definitely not compete with the Queen for favor. The Queen has nothing to lose, so why would she care about such a thing?"

"Besides, haven't you heard what the Queen said before, that concubines compete for favor based on their own abilities? Since you can't win, then don't complain." Concubine Xian clutched the handkerchief in her hand. She never thought that she would have such a day.

When Xiao Xuanchen came out of Yihua Palace, it was already past noon. He accompanied Concubine Yi for lunch and did not leave Yihua Palace until she fell asleep.

The eunuch in front of the emperor said boldly: "Your Majesty! Forgive me for saying so much, but you have been too fond of Concubine Yi these days."

Xiao Xuanchen put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at him, and said in a deep voice: "What did you hear?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! These days, several masters in the harem have complained a lot. I also heard that the night before yesterday, Your Majesty went to Yihua Palace to accompany Concubine Yi, and Concubine Wen got very angry about it. This is the first time I heard that Concubine Wen got angry. And today, Your Majesty clearly promised Concubine Xian yesterday that he would go..."

Xiao Xuanchen interrupted him and asked, "Is Concubine Wen angry?"

"Yes! He got very angry in Zhonghua Palace." The eunuch replied quickly.

When Xiao Xuanchen heard that she actually lost her temper, he curled his lips and found it very interesting. "I have never seen her lose her temper before?"
