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

King Xiang did not stop him and watched Duke Zheng leave.

The confidant asked, "Your Majesty, are you just going to let Duke Zheng go like this?"

"This was originally a gamble. The risk is too great. He won't gamble easily. I didn't gamble right." King Xiang was very annoyed at this moment, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

"So what should we do now?"

King Xiang was annoyed and slammed his hand on the table. "Is it because I am too naive to even think that he would help me?"

"Your Majesty!"

Weiyang Palace

Duke Zheng ordered someone to deliver the letter. After Zheng Xiyan learned the whole story, she was shocked. She didn't expect that King Xiang would actually exchange it for military power.

"My queen, what's wrong?" Biluo asked carefully.

Zheng Xiyan closed the letter and whispered, "Prince Xiang went to look for father."

"King Xiang? How could this be..."

Zheng Xiyan handed the letter to Biluo, who took it and burned it.

"It seems that Prince Xiang wants to take a gamble, but my father didn't agree." Zheng Xiyan whispered, frowning and looking a little worried.

"Bet? What to bet on?" Biluo's face was full of confusion.

"Of course, he will use the military power in his hands."

"Military power?" Biluo guessed it quickly, "Then, Madam! What do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Xiyan said cautiously, "Father's worries are not unreasonable. This matter is too risky. His Majesty has already decided that Princess Rong Le will marry, and it will never be easily changed. If father takes action, it will definitely arouse His Majesty's suspicion."

"But the King of Xiang is sincere. If it is true..."

"No! Your Majesty hates Prince Xiang and Prince Ming to the core. I cannot take any risk." Zheng Xiyan did not dare to take any risk. If she was caught, she would be doomed.

"Yes!"

The next morning, Princess Rong Le came to Weiyang Palace.

Zheng Xiyan had already woken up. Biluo walked in and said, "My queen, Princess Rong Le is here to pay her respects to you."

"Rong Le?"

"Yes!"

"Let her wait in the main hall!" Zheng Xiyan didn't want to ignore her at this time.

"Yes!"

After Zheng Xiyan washed and changed her clothes, Biluo Shuangning accompanied her to the main hall. Princess Rong Le stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health."

"Get up!" Zheng Xiyan said gently.

"Thank you, Mrs. Huang."

"Princess Rong Le, why do you have time to come to my place today?"

Princess Rong Le sat down and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, can you please dismiss the palace maids? I want to talk to you alone."

Zheng Xiyan gave Biluo and Shuangning a look and said gently, "Everyone, leave!"

"Yes!"

There were only two people left in the palace. Princess Rong Le looked at her carefully. Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I had observed the Imperial Sister-in-law from afar at a palace banquet before. At that time, I only thought that she was a rare beauty, but I never thought that one day you would actually confuse my own brother." Princess Rong Le's tone was somewhat provocative and dissatisfied.

Zheng Xiyan's face darkened and she said coldly, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't you think my brother loves you?"

Zheng Xiyan said angrily: "How dare you! Princess Rong Le say such things. Even if you don't care about my reputation, you should at least consider the reputation of Prince Xiang and the Concubine Dowager!"

"I am the queen, your majesty's first wife. There is nothing wrong between me and the prince."

Princess Rong Le smiled and said, "Yes! You are the queen, and my brother is nothing to you."

"What do you want to say? If you want me to help you speak well in front of His Majesty, forget it! I can't help you."

"Humph! I understand, but I'm just a little unwilling. For you, my brother actually gave up joining forces with the third brother, and even wanted to give you the military power because of you."

Zheng Xiyan looked disdainful and sneered, "For me? It's really ridiculous for you to say that. If the King of Xiang wanted to join forces with the King of Ming, would he have waited until now? As for why he doesn't want to join forces with the King of Ming, don't you know? If the two of them join forces and seize the country in the future, the first person the King of Ming will kill will be the King of Xiang."

"So, don't say such ridiculous things. For me? This is really a big joke."

Princess Rong Le was furious, "You really don't deserve my brother's sincerity."

"A sincere heart? I don't need his sincerity. I didn't need it in the past, and I won't need it in the future." Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

"Do you know that your brother really wants to help you and your son ascend to the throne, but you are so doubtful of his sincerity?"

Zheng Xiyan stared at her with a cold face and said angrily, "My son was born a prince, why do I need his help? Rong Le, although I pity you for going to marry, you shouldn't use the ridiculous sincerity of the King of Xiang to speak up for yourself in front of me."

"You are a princess of Daliang. Marriage is a rule set when Emperor Gaozu was alive. Your Majesty is following the ancestral system. Even as the queen, I can't help you."

Princess Rong Le asked, "If the emperor's sister-in-law gives birth to a princess in the future, will she be able to watch her marry far away in southern Xinjiang? There was a precedent of legitimate princesses marrying far away in southern Xinjiang in the previous dynasty. Isn't the emperor's sister-in-law afraid?"

Zheng Xiyan smiled, "Of course I am afraid, but I believe that His Majesty will not easily send the legitimate princess to marry. Even if His Majesty really has this idea, I will do my best to protect my daughter."

"Rong Le, I know you are unwilling to marry, but His Majesty gave you a choice, didn't he? What you should do most now is to persuade your brother to use his military power in exchange for your marriage, instead of questioning me here."

"You..." Princess Rong Le's face turned red, and she couldn't refute this.

"Actually, you know it very well, don't you? The person who can save you is your brother. I just don't know if he will hand over his military power for you." Zheng Xiyan smiled and stared at her subtly.

Princess Rong Le's face was very ugly. She almost tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces. She felt a dull pain in her heart. Could it be that she could only be sent to southern Xinjiang to marry? Would this be the fate of her life?

Do not……

"We are both princesses, but why is Xuanhua so lucky? Her husband is from a noble family and has noble character, but I have to marry a foreign princess? This is unfair. Is it just because I am a concubine's daughter?" Princess Rong Le's eyes were filled with anger, and she looked at Zheng Xiyan with hatred.

Zheng Xiyan's eyes drooped slightly. Hearing these words, she was a little moved. "I don't know how to answer your question. There is nothing wrong with being a concubine's daughter. There is nothing wrong with you not wanting to marry. But...you can't afford the consequences of disobeying the order, and neither can the King of Xiang."

Princess Rong Le had tears in her eyes, and suddenly she smiled, a smile that was very desperate, and then she stood up and left, "Rong Le, take your leave."
