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

Shoukang Palace

Yi Chongrong was standing outside the palace. Nanny Yu came in and reported, "Empress Dowager, Yi Chongrong has arrived and is waiting outside the palace."

The Queen Mother was holding Princess Changle in her arms. Princess Changle had been in a bad mood these past few days and had been looking listless. The Queen Mother had thought of many ways to cheer her up, but to little avail.

"Let her wait outside. It's time to let her know the rules of this palace." The Queen Mother's voice was low and her eyes were sharp as knives. Her eyes were full of energy and flashed slightly.

"Yes." Nanny Yu's pupils moved slightly, and she stood beside the Empress Dowager.

Outside the palace, although it was spring, the weather was still a little chilly. After a while, Yi Chongrong's face turned red due to the cool breeze.

Caiwei was also like this. The cool wind blew on her body, making her legs tremble. "My queen, what does the queen mother mean by this?"

Yi Chongrong's face was full of grievance, her eyes were red, and she lowered her head in a hurry.

Two quarters of an hour later, Nanny Yu began to plead for Yi Chongrong, "Your Majesty, Yi Chongrong just had a miscarriage and it's cold outside. What if..."

The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly and said in a cold voice: "Alright, let her in!"

"Yes."

Nanny Yu walked out and said, "Yi Chongrong, the Queen Mother wants you to come in."

After standing in the wind for two quarters of an hour, Yi Chongrong's mouth turned white from the cold. She said in a trembling voice, "Yes, thank you, Mammy."

"Your concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager." Yi Chongrong knelt on the ground and saluted. Her legs were a little stiff after standing for so long, and the expression on her face was very forbearing.

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she said coldly: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen." Yi Chongrong stood up with difficulty, with a very bad expression on her face.

"Madame Yu, bring a chair over for Yi Chongrong, and bring up a bowl of ginger soup." The Queen Mother ordered in a cold voice. Although she wanted to teach her a lesson, she didn't want to give anyone a chance to criticize her and spread the reputation of being harsh to her concubines.

"Yes."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Queen Mother." Yi Chongrong hurriedly expressed her gratitude, but she did not appreciate it at all in her heart.

"I haven't seen you for three months since your miscarriage!" The Queen Mother turned the jade beads in her hand, staring at her with deep eyes.

"Yes!" Yi Chongrong replied in a low voice.

The Queen Mother continued, "Have you recovered?"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I am almost recovered now."

"That's good. You have an unstable mind and are young and hot-tempered. You don't know the rules. I will teach you the rules. That's it for today. From tomorrow on, you must come to Shoukang Palace every day to copy Buddhist scriptures to temper your temper." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

Yi Chongrong immediately declined, "Empress Dowager, I, your humble concubine..."

"What? You don't want to?" The Queen Mother's brows were cold, and a deep cold light fell into her eyes, intimidating.

"I dare not." Yi Chongrong immediately lowered her head and dared not say more.

At this time, the ginger soup was ready and Nanny Yu brought it up.

Yi Chongrong's eyes were filled with tears and she was about to cry. After she drank the ginger soup, the Queen Mother asked her to leave.

The Queen Mother looked at Princess Changle in her arms lovingly, "Changle, call me Imperial Grandmother, Imperial Grandmother."

When Yi Chongrong heard this, she felt even more aggrieved. Her child was also the Empress Dowager's grandson. She lost her child, but the Empress Dowager didn't seem to care about her at all.

Second day

Shoukang Palace Study

Yu Ma said, "Madam Chongrong, please come in!"

"Empress Chongrong, the Queen Mother is thinking about you this time. You have an unstable character, and your temper really needs to be tempered."

"Madame Yu, I don't understand what you are saying." Yi Chongrong was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, so she took it out on Madame Yu.

Nanny Yu's eyes moved slightly, her eyes were critical, and she said in a cold voice: "Empress Chongrong, you are His Majesty's concubine, and the Queen Mother is His Majesty's mother. You should do whatever the Queen Mother asks you to do."

"In this palace, the first thing that Empress Chongrong must learn is to obey the words of the Empress Dowager, His Majesty, and the Empress. The palace rules are strict and there are distinctions between the lord and the lord. Do you understand?"

Yi Chongrong's eyes were filled with tears and her face was full of grievance, but she could not resist at all. She could only endure it and said with gritted teeth: "Thank you for your teachings, Madam. I will remember it in my heart."

"Mother, please!"

Caiwei handed her the pen and then began to grind the ink, "My Lady!"

Princess Shion

After Xiao Xuanchen finished his morning court session, he returned to the Purple Palace to review memorials. The eunuch in front of the emperor came in with a cup of tea, presented it to him, and said, "Your Majesty! There's news from Yihua Palace that the Empress Dowager has summoned Yi Chongrong and ordered her to go to Shoukang Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures."

After hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen did not react and said coldly: "I know."

"The slave retire."

Xiao Xuanchen stopped him, "Wait."

"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"

"Send a message to Weiyang Palace, asking the Queen to wait for me for lunch." Xiao Xuanchen ordered.

"Yes!"

When the eunuch in front of the emperor left the Purple Palace, a young eunuch came up to him and asked, "Master! Why didn't His Majesty react?"

The eunuch in front of the emperor laughed and said, "How should His Majesty react? Yi Chongrong has been ignoring His Majesty all the time. Do you think His Majesty will still have patience with her?"

"But didn't Your Majesty dote on Yi Chongrong before? And now that Yi Chongrong has lost her child, it's inevitable that she will be sad for a while, right?"

"Humph! If it were an ordinary man, when his wife lost her child, her husband might stay with her and comfort her no matter how long she was sad. But Your Majesty is the emperor, and you are busy with all kinds of affairs. Do you really have to keep accommodating a concubine? This is really a huge joke." The eunuch in front of the emperor looked disdainful. Yi Chongrong was indeed a little petty.

The young eunuch suddenly realized, "So that's it."

"In this palace, everything must be centered on your Majesty. Even the Empress, who is the mother of the country, must obey your Majesty, not to mention a mere concubine. If she can't see this, even if your Majesty favors her before, she will fall out of favor sooner or later."

The young eunuch smiled and said, "So, the Empress is still more favored by His Majesty."

"Even if the Queen is not favored by His Majesty, she is still the Queen. But if a concubine is not favored and has no children, her life will be difficult." The eunuch in front of the emperor said meaningfully.

"That's what the master said."

"Hurry up! Why don't you go to Weiyang Palace? Your Majesty will have lunch there with the Empress."

"Go here."

Weiyang Palace

In the spring, Xiao Chengji was playing in the yard, and Zheng Xiyan was sitting beside him watching him.

The young eunuch came in and said, "Your servant greets the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Get up!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Queen."

"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"

"His Majesty ordered me to come and inform the Queen that His Majesty will come to Weiyang Palace to have lunch with the Queen."

"I know."

The young eunuch smiled and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

"Ah."

"The slave retire."

After the people left, Zheng Xiyan ordered: "Tell the small kitchen to prepare a few dishes that your majesty likes."

"Yes!"

"By the way, is there any news from Shoukang Palace?" Zheng Xiyan suddenly remembered that the news of Yi Chongrong standing outside Shoukang Palace yesterday had spread, and today...

"Yi Chongrong has already copied the Buddhist scriptures." Biluo replied.

Zheng Xiyan said to Zi Rui, "I remember there is a beauty fist in the storeroom. It is perfect for back pounding. You can personally deliver it to Yihua Palace later."

"Empress!" Zi Rui looked puzzled.
