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

"Your Majesty!" The eunuch's pupils shrank slightly. This situation was not impossible.

"Back off!" Xiao Xuanchen waved his hand and said coldly.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The eunuch in front of the emperor bowed and left.

Chonghua Palace

After hearing the news, the palace maid hurried into the palace and said, "My queen, this is not good."

"What happened? Why are you so anxious?" Concubine Xian was helping Xiao Chengye dress. Seeing her in such a hurry, she couldn't help but scold her.

The palace maid's eyes widened, and she said in a panic, "His Majesty has just issued an order to release the confinement of Consort Chen and Consort Shu."

"What?" Concubine Xian was stunned by her movements, then turned around and stared at her in disbelief, "Why did His Majesty lift their house arrest out of the blue?"

"I don't know the details, but His Majesty has already issued an order." The maid shook her head and replied.

Xianfei's brows tightened, and she ordered the wet nurse beside her, "Take good care of the Second Prince."

"Yes, slaves obey."

The maid helped Concubine Xian to leave. Concubine Xian held her hand tightly and asked sternly, "What is going on? They have committed such a serious crime, how could His Majesty let them go so easily?"

"I don't know either. Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu tried to confuse the royal bloodline. This is a serious crime. How could Your Majesty let this matter go so lightly?"

The virtuous concubine was not very smart, and she pondered over it, but still could not figure it out. "Has anything happened in the court in the past few days?"

"I don't know about this." The maid shook her head.

The virtuous concubine said coldly: "Hurry up and send someone to find out."

"Yes!"

Zhonghua Palace

When Wen Chongyi learned about this, she acted quite calmly. The palace maid asked, "Why aren't you surprised at all, Your Majesty?"

Wen Chongyi remained calm and chuckled, "What's there to be surprised about? It's only a matter of time!" She had guessed that this day would come because His Majesty had been slow to deal with the two of them.

"But Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu have been released from house arrest now, which will definitely be bad for Her Majesty!" The palace maids were very worried about her. Their mistress was currently enjoying the emperor's favor. If she became pregnant and gave birth to a prince or princess, she would definitely be made a consort.

But in this way, it will be more difficult for their masters to compete for the position of imperial concubine in the future.

Wen Chongyi whispered, "It's only a matter of time before the consort Chen and Consort Shu are released from their ban."

"Why is this?" the maid asked puzzledly.

Wen Chongyi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Since your majesty ascended the throne, you have dealt with the Feng family and the Murong family one after another, and the power in the court has changed drastically. If you move against the Xi family and the Shen family at this time, the consequences will not be controlled by your majesty. What's more, there are Prince Ming and Prince Xiang watching covetously. Under this situation, Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu will be released sooner or later."

"The former dynasty and the harem have always been inseparable. How could Your Majesty not understand the principle that a single move can affect the entire body?" Their Majesty would not take risks easily.

"But, Madam, the confinement of Consort Chen and Consort Shu has been lifted. From now on..."

"Later? Do they have a future?" Wen Chongyi said coldly. Although His Majesty has lifted their house arrest, they will never be favored again in the future.

"Miss!"

"Your Majesty has already abandoned them and will not favor them anymore. Naturally, there will be no need to worry about the prince. What you are worried about will not happen." Wen Chongyi said in a gentle voice. The two of them are destined to end up living alone.

"My slave understands."

The maid continued, "My queen, you are in favor now, so you must seize the opportunity to get pregnant with the heir as soon as possible. Let's see who dares to look down on our Zhonghua Palace again in the future."

Wen Chongyi had already made up her mind. It didn't matter whether she was favored or not, and it didn't matter whether she had children or not. She didn't want to become ugly just to win favor or for the prince. She didn't want to become like them and end up with a miserable end.

"Let everything take its course! I will never make the same mistake as they did before." Wen Chongyi looked calm.

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, Xu Chongyuan and Li Meiren arrived at the Weiyang Palace. After learning about this, they also rushed to the Weiyang Palace to inquire about the situation.

"Your humble concubine/your humble concubine pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Get up!" Zheng Xiyan said gently.

"Thank you, Queen."

"Why are you two here?" Zheng Xiyan had just woken up, with her eyes half closed and a lazy expression, as if she had not yet woken up.

Xu Chongyuan asked carefully, "Empress, why did His Majesty suddenly release Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu from their confinement? Do you know why?"

Zheng Xiyan slowly opened her eyes. Now that Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning were released from house arrest, everyone in the harem naturally couldn't sit still. She smiled softly and said, "I can't guess what your majesty is thinking. Since your majesty has pardoned them, you should obey the imperial decree."

Xu Chongyuan was a little agitated, "But Queen! After all, the two of them tried to confuse the royal bloodline before, how can we..."

Zheng Xiyan frowned and said impatiently: "Alright! The imperial decree has been issued, there is no point in saying more."

Lady Li tugged at Xu Chongyuan's sleeve and said, "Empress, from now on..."

"From now on, they will naturally still be the Chen Fei and Shu Fei in this palace." Zheng Xiyan said in a serious voice.

"Concubine understands."

Zheng Xiyan added, "His Majesty has rarely summoned you these days. You must always plan for yourself in this palace. This is all I have to say. As for how to do it, you two must have already made up your mind."

"Your Majesty, what you said is very true. I will learn from your advice."

The two came out of Weiyang Palace, and Lady Li sighed, "I thought that Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu would never have a chance to turn things around in this life? I didn't expect it! It's only been a short time, and they both came out unscathed?"

"They have the support of the Xi family and the Shen family, and they have a good family background to back them up, so naturally they still have a chance to turn things around. But if the crimes they have committed are spread out, it will bring shame to the royal family, which is different from Murong Yue." Xu Chongyuan was the most angry. After all, she was the one who reported the matter. From now on, the two of them will probably fight her to the death.

"Your Majesty has announced to the public that the Third Prince has died young. If the Concubine Chen continues to be confined to her house, or dies in the palace for no apparent reason, then this matter will really be impossible to conceal."

"Alas! When will our day of success come?" Lady Li originally thought that after joining the Queen, she would have a place in the harem. But now it seems that it is better to rely on oneself than on others, and no one can be relied on.

Xu Chongyuan said with a smile: "Just bear with it! Who in this palace doesn't bear with it?"

When the two passed by the Imperial Garden, they happened to meet Yi Chongrong, who was singing Kunqu Opera nearby. They heard the sound before they even got close to the Imperial Garden.

"What's that sound?" asked the beautiful lady.

"It's like Kunqu Opera." Xu Chongyuan frowned slightly.

"Who is singing Kunqu Opera in the Imperial Garden?"

"Go over and take a look."

When they got closer, they realized it was Yi Chongrong.
