After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn
Chapter 168: Promotion and Reincarnation
"How can you think like that?" Caiwei's pupils shrank slightly and she said with her mouth half open.
"What else should I think?" Yi Chongrong collapsed and yelled, his face flushed with anger.
Caiwei felt that she was simply unreasonable. She could understand that he was sad and upset because he had lost his child, but His Majesty had done everything he could. What else did she want him to do?
Caiwei was filled with rage. After putting down the imperial edict, she left the bedroom.
Weiyang Palace
Shuang Ning came in angrily. Seeing her like this, Biluo looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty has just issued an edict to promote Concubine Yi to Chongrong." Shuang Ning frowned and said unhappily.
Zheng Xiyan looked calm and said to Zirui, "Zirui, go to the storehouse and pick out a few good things and send them to Yihua Palace. They will be my gift to you."
"Empress!" Shuang Ning raised her voice and became more and more dissatisfied.
Zheng Xiyan explained to her, "She just lost her child, and His Majesty promoted her to a higher position as a sign of consolation. This is understandable."
"I just can't stand the way she acts, as if everyone owes her something." Shuang Ning was annoyed, her little face flushed red with anger.
Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "It's not worth it to make a fuss over such a small matter and even make yourself so angry."
"Who does she think she is!"
"She is His Majesty's favorite concubine. Please be careful with your words." Zheng Xiyan's expression became serious and he said in a serious voice.
Shuang Ning pursed her lips, "Got it."
"Okay, Zirui, let's go to Yihua Palace!" Zheng Xiyan tapped Shuang Ning's forehead, "You!"
"Yes! I'll go right away, slave."
Zi Rui brought a group of palace maids to Yihua Palace. Cai Wei was so angry that she came out to take a breath. Seeing Zi Rui coming, she hurried forward to greet her, "Sister Zi Rui, why are you here?"
"Your Majesty has issued an edict to promote Concubine Yi to Chongrong. The Empress has specially ordered me to deliver a gift, as well as some supplements to nourish Yi Chongrong's body."
"Thank you, Queen."
"Is Yi Chongrong feeling better?" Zi Rui asked.
Caiwei sighed, looking distressed, "Sister Zirui, I don't treat you as an outsider. You are really hard to serve."
Zi Rui has always been kind to others and is the best at comforting people. She advised in a gentle voice: "After all, Yi Chongrong lost her child, so she is naturally sad. You should serve her well and don't make any mistakes."
"Yes! Losing a child is indeed excruciating. I accepted her cold shoulder to me because I am a servant. But she also cold shoulder to His Majesty. Your Majesty had been accommodating her because she lost her child, but she became even worse. Just now, the eunuch came to announce the decree, but she did not accept it. If she continues like this, will His Majesty come to Yihua Palace again?" Caiwei looked disdainful.
Caiwei also wanted to find someone to complain to. Ever since Yi Chongrong became pregnant, the Queen Mother often ordered Zirui to come to Yihua Palace to deliver some things. And because they were from the same hometown, the two became familiar with each other after a few visits.
"Okay, just complain to me about this, and don't say anything in front of others." Zi Rui advised.
"Of course. I treat you as my sister, so I am just complaining to you."
Zi Rui patted her hands and said, "It's not easy to be a slave in the palace. It's inevitable to suffer some grievances."
"At first, I was asked to come to Yihua Palace to serve a dancer, and I was unwilling. Later, when I saw that she was favored, I thought I had to endure it! I thought that since she was pregnant with the dragon heir, I would have a good life too. But how long has it been? I! I don't have that fate, unlike you, sister Zirui. The Queen is kind, who doesn't want to work in Weiyang Palace?" Caiwei looked envious.
Zi Rui said gently: "You! Don't just think about these things, serve Yi Chongrong well, this is the most important thing."
"I know." Caiwei curled her lips and said in a low voice.
"Then I'll go back first." Zi Rui replied in a low voice.
"Sister Zirui, take care." Caiwei personally sent Zirui to the door. As soon as they left Yihua Palace, Xiao Xuanchen's imperial sedan arrived outside Yihua Palace.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health." The two of them knelt down hurriedly and saluted.
Xiao Xuanchen recognized Zi Rui as a maid from Weiyang Palace and asked, "At this time, why are you in Yihua Palace instead of serving the Queen in Weiyang Palace?"
"Your Majesty, I am here on the orders of the Empress to congratulate Yi Chongrong. In addition, the Empress personally selected some supplements and asked me to deliver them to Yi Chongrong so that she can take good care of herself."
"The Queen is thoughtful, please step down!" Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the slaves retire."
Zi Rui led the group away. After she left, Xiao Xuanchen asked, "Has the Queen often sent people to Yihua Palace recently?"
The eunuch in front of the emperor replied, "Your Majesty, ever since Yi Chongrong had a miscarriage, the Empress has ordered Miss Zi Rui to come to Yihua Palace every two days. She always brings a lot of things, not only supplements, but also a lot of rare things, to entertain Yi Chongrong, hoping that Yi Chongrong will get better soon."
After hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen had a complicated expression and looked upset. Thinking of Yun'er's attitude towards him these days, he felt really upset!
"Your Majesty! I will go and pass the message." The eunuch in front of the emperor spoke.
"No need, let's go to Shoukang Palace." Xiao Xuanchen waved his hand and sat on the imperial carriage.
"Yes! Go to Shoukang Palace."
Caiwei saw it but said nothing, "Your Majesty, your servant respectfully sees you off." Since she didn't care about it herself, there was no need for her as a servant to worry about her. She should think about herself instead.
Shoukang Palace
The Queen Mother was trying to comfort Princess Changle, but Princess Changle kept crying, "Waaaaa~"
"What's wrong with Changle today? Why is she crying all the time?" The Empress Dowager frowned, her face full of worry.
The wet nurses also looked at a loss, and no matter how they tried to comfort the baby, it didn't work.
As soon as Xiao Xuanchen entered Shoukang Palace, he heard crying and asked, "Is it Changle crying?"
"Your Majesty is right. It was the princess's crying." The eunuch replied with a sullen face.
Xiao Xuanchen thought of Murong Yue's death in the cold palace, and said helplessly in a low voice: "Mother and daughter are connected by heart, I'm afraid Changle has sensed something."
"Changle, be good. Please stop crying, okay?"
Xiao Xuanchen walked in and said, "Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother."
"The Emperor is here." The Empress Dowager raised her hand and handed Changle to the wet nurse.
"Mother!"
Xiao Xuanchen came over, and the Queen Mother said, "I don't know what's wrong with Changle today? She keeps crying, and no matter how I comfort her, she won't stop."
Xiao Xuanchen looked at the crying Princess Changle and couldn't help feeling guilty. He said, "Leave Changle to me."
"Yes." The wet nurse walked forward and handed Princess Changle to Xiao Xuanchen.
Xiao Xuanchen took it gently and coaxed her softly, "Be good, Changle..." After a while, Princess Changle stopped crying.
The Queen Mother's eyebrows relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief, "This child is really strange."
