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

Chapter 167 She is gradually wearing away His Majesty's favor for her

The beautiful lady said angrily: "You are so abominable."

"I don't regret it, and I have never regretted it." After saying this, Murong Yue vomited blood, her eyes still glaring at them fiercely.

Murong Yue's face twisted, and she said unwillingly, "In this palace, if I don't fight or compete, I will just be slaughtered by others. I don't want to regret it."

The two men watched her fall with their eyes wide open. Xu Chongyuan signaled to the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid came forward and touched her breath, then shook her head at the two men.

The two turned and left, and Xu Chongyuan ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone to the Purple Palace to inform His Majesty that Murong Yue is dead."

"Yes!"

When leaving the cold palace, Xu Chongyuan and Li Meiren noticed that there was someone not far away, watching their every move, but they couldn't guess for a while, was this person from Zichen Palace? Or... from Weiyang Palace?

Xu Chongyuan looked at Lady Li, nodded slightly and said, "Let's go back to the palace!"

"Ok!"

Weiyang Palace

Biluo came in to report and whispered in Zheng Xiyan's ear: "My queen, there is news from the cold palace. The person is dead."

Zheng Xiyan fiddled with the chessboard by herself, with no expression on her face. "I know. Did you say anything before you died?"

"I said something I shouldn't have said." Biluo said in a low voice with a gloomy face.

Biluo told Zheng Xiyan the truth. After hearing it, Zheng Xiyan sneered and said, "The person is already dead. It's not a big deal."

"Your Majesty, Xu Chongyuan and Lady Li may not necessarily be loyal to you." Biluo thought about it again and again, and finally expressed her doubts.

Zheng Xiyan's eyes were frivolous, and the corners of her mouth were raised. She sneered: "In this palace, I don't trust anyone except you guys. The two of them have their own goals and plans, but this is also human nature."

"Even if I have done them a favor, human hearts are not something that will necessarily repay you just because you do them a favor." From the beginning to the end, she never really believed in the two of them.

Zheng Xiyan threw the chess piece in her hand into the chess box and slowly stood up. Biluo immediately stepped forward to support her. "As long as they can't threaten me, I will naturally treat them well."

"Yes!"

"By the way, how is Yihua Palace these days?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

Biluo replied, "Jieyu Yi is still the same, depressed every day. Every time Your Majesty visits her, she doesn't give Your Majesty a good look."

Zheng Xiyan smiled contemptuously when she heard this, "How naive!"

"Yes! She didn't even think about it. His Majesty had already executed Murong for her, and Concubine Li was also banished to the cold palace. His Majesty had already avenged her child, but what about her? She actually dared to give His Majesty a cold shoulder. This willfulness should be limited."

"By doing this, isn't she afraid of really angering His Majesty?" Biluo raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

Zheng Xiyan shook her head slightly and said in a deep voice: "She is not willful, she is just angry with Your Majesty."

"As a mother, I can feel the pain of losing a child. She is heartbroken. Even though Your Majesty has sentenced Murong Yue and Concubine Li to death, her child is gone after all." Zheng Xiyan had a calm expression. She lowered her head to look at her belly and gently stroked it, with an ambiguous emotion in her eyes.

"But what benefit can she get from being angry with His Majesty like this? Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, can he really continue to indulge a concubine who keeps giving him the cold shoulder?" Biluo continued.

Zheng Xiyan turned around, suppressed the emotions in her eyes, picked up a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and said, "That's why I said that she is so naive! She only cares about her own sadness and has never considered the difficulties of Your Majesty."

"As the king of a country, you control the life and death of the people. You have to read endless memorials every day. How can you have the time to care about her mood?" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"She is gradually wearing away His Majesty's favor and patience for her. Just wait! It won't be long before His Majesty won't go to Yihua Palace anymore." Zheng Xiyan's face looked calm, but it had nothing to do with her.

"That's what the Queen said."

Yihua Palace

These days, every time Concubine Yi woke up, she would curl up in the corner of the bed, feeling sad, and ignoring anyone who came to visit her.

Caiwei advised her many times, but she never listened.

"Jieyu, please eat a little more! Your health is more important!" Caiwei stood aside, holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and tried to persuade her.

"I have no appetite." Concubine Yi looked very bad. She looked tired, her eyes were dull, and there was no trace of blood on her face.

Cai Wei said helplessly: "Your Majesty comes to see you every day, but what about you? You don't even give His Majesty a good face. I really don't know what you want."

"I lost my child, can't I be sad and upset?" A tear fell from Concubine Yi's eyes. She lost her child, so doesn't she even have the right to grieve and miss him?

"But your Majesty is just as sad and upset. Why do you ignore your Majesty?"

"He's sad? He's upset? How come I can't see it at all?" Concubine Yi sneered. If he lost a child, there would be other women who could give birth to his children, but she...

Caiwei even thought she was unreasonable, "Because he is the emperor, he is not an ordinary person."

Concubine Yi turned her head away and said nothing more.

After a while, the eunuch in front of the emperor came with the imperial edict, "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Caiwei quickly advised: "Jieyu, the imperial edict has arrived, you should get out of bed and receive it!"

Concubine Yi simply lay down and continued to ignore him.

Seeing her like this, Caiwei had no choice but to go out and deal with the eunuch in front of the emperor, "Greetings, eunuch."

"Miss Caiwei, where is Concubine Yi? Why hasn't she come to receive the decree yet?"

"Father-in-law, our master just cried for a long time and has fallen asleep now. Look at this..." Caiwei made up an excuse to get away with it.

The eunuch in front of the emperor also looked helpless, but the emperor had specifically instructed him before coming, so there was no need to force it. "Your Majesty has issued an order to appoint Concubine Yi as the concubine."

"Forget it. I'll leave this imperial edict to you. Please persuade Chongrong. Now that she is one of the nine concubines, she must not be angry with His Majesty anymore." Impatience flashed across the face of the eunuch in front of the emperor.

"Thank you for the trip, eunuch."

"Miss Caiwei, you are too polite."

After seeing off the eunuch, Caiwei entered the bedroom with the imperial edict and told her the good news, "My lady, His Majesty has promoted you to Chongrong."

She simply covered herself with the quilt, tears streaming down her eyes.

Caiwei was really angry and annoyed. She wasn't like this when she first came to serve her! Why is she so stubborn now? She won't listen to anything.

"His Majesty has promoted you to Chongrong. When Xu Chongyuan had a miscarriage, His Majesty only promoted her to Chongyuan, the lowest position among the Nine Concubines. Your current position is higher than Xu Chongyuan." Caiwei continued while kneeling beside the bed.

Yi Chongrong pulled down the quilt, raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Are you trying to tell me how much love your majesty has for me? If the position of Chongyuan had not been taken by someone else, would your majesty have appointed me as Chongrong?"
