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

At this time, Xiao Xuanchen had already walked in. Hearing her words, he said in a deep voice: "I remember that a year ago, you wanted to make osmanthus cake for me yourself. I am here to keep the appointment."

Zhao Cairen stared blankly at the person in front of him. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She slowly stood up, walked slowly to him, and just stared at him infatuatedly.

Caiwei bowed and left tactfully.

Zhao Cairen reacted quickly and bowed to greet her, "Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you good health and long life." Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice was choked with sobs.

Xiao Xuanchen walked forward and helped her up personally, "Don't be so polite."

At this time, she was already in tears, crying and asking, "Why is His Majesty here?"

"I just said that I'm here to keep an appointment." Xiao Xuanchen felt distressed when he saw that she had lost a lot of weight.

Zhao Cairen knew very well that her chance had come again, so she boldly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a sob, "Your Majesty! I...I really...know I was wrong, please...please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen was really soft-hearted this time. He patted her on the back and said, "Okay, okay, it's all over."

"His Majesty!"

The next morning, the news that Concubine Zhao had regained favor quickly spread throughout the harem.

Shoukang Palace

The Empress Dowager and Princess Xuanhua were having breakfast when Nanny Yu came in and said, "Empress Dowager, Princess, His Majesty went to Yihua Palace last night."

Princess Xuanhua was startled, "Talented Lady Zhao?"

Nanny Yu nodded gently, "Princess, yes."

Princess Xuanhua subconsciously looked at her mother, put down her chopsticks, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Mother, didn't Concubine Zhao make a mistake? How come it's not been so long and my brother has forgiven her?"

The Empress Dowager had a cold expression on her face. Although she was dissatisfied with the matter, she didn't want to get upset about it. "Forget it, if the Emperor likes it, just let him do it!"

"I just hope that after this incident, I can learn some lessons."

"I don't think so. How could your Majesty be so soft-hearted? What's so good about her? She has made your Majesty fall in love with her time and time again. To me, she looks just so-so. What's wrong with your Majesty?" Princess Xuanhua became angrier and angrier as she spoke.

The Queen Mother said, "Your brother likes her so much. Compared with other people, she must have some advantages. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since the harem has had a new person."

Princess Xuanhua asked, "Does mother want to select a concubine for my brother?"

"It has been almost four years since the last beauty pageant. It's time to add some new people to the harem." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

Princess Xuanhua said, "My brother already has so many women, why does he still want to select women?" She was speaking up for the emperor's sister-in-law, "My brother obviously has a virtuous wife like my sister-in-law, why does the queen mother want to select women for him?"

"Xuanhua, this is the rule. Marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine. Your brother needs a wife who can manage his harem, but he also needs a beautiful girl who can give birth to many children for him."

Princess Xuanhua heard this and said unhappily, "Mother! Sometimes I feel sorry for my sister-in-law."

"Don't feel aggrieved for her. Think about the future and you won't feel aggrieved anymore." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice. She had come a long way and now she didn't feel aggrieved anymore.

Princess Xuanhua didn't understand, so the Queen Mother continued, "As long as the Queen doesn't make any mistakes and raises the Crown Prince well, the life your mother is living now will be her life in the future. Do you still feel wronged for her?"

"But doesn't mother feel wronged? Has mother never resented father?" Princess Xuanhua asked.

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, and she paused for a moment. The next second she said coldly, "Of course I hated you, but there's no point in hating you. I won in the end. I was the winner from the beginning."

Princess Xuanhua saw tears in the Queen Mother's eyes, but the tears disappeared the next second.

"Okay, let's eat!"

"Yes!"

Yihua Palace

After Xiao Xuanchen left, the palace maids of Yihua Palace all knelt in front of her and congratulated her, "Congratulations, talented lady. Congratulations, talented lady."

Zhao Cairen smiled and said gently, "Everyone, get up!"

"Thank you, talented person."

Caiwei ordered: "Okay, everyone hurry up and do your own things!"

"Yes!"

Cai Wei said happily: "Talented man, now the hardship has finally ended and happiness has come."

When Zhao Cairen heard this, the joy on her face faded a little, and she said solemnly: "Now, it can't be said that the hardship has ended and the happiness has come."

"But His Majesty still has you in his heart, otherwise he would not have come." Caiwei comforted.

"But His Majesty has not lifted my house confinement." Concubine Zhao couldn't help but worry. He didn't lift her house confinement, nor did he say that her position would be restored. How could this be considered a happy ending after all the suffering?

Caiwei's face also turned worried, but she still said words to comfort her, "Don't worry, maybe His Majesty will lift your confinement in a few days."

"hope so!"

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan was having breakfast. When she heard that Xiao Xuanchen had left Yihua Palace early in the morning, she asked, "Didn't Your Majesty lift her confinement?"

Shuang Ning shook her head and said, "That's not the case."

"He didn't lift her house arrest?" Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly and began to think.

For the next three days, Xiao Xuanchen went to Yihua Palace.

Zhonghua Palace

Wen Chongyi sat in front of the dressing table. The maid looked anxious, "Your Majesty, how can you still sit still now? Concubine Zhao has really regained her favor this time."

Wen Chongyi remained calm and said, "If you want to favor her, then do it! If your majesty wants to favor her, what can I do to change that?"

"You are pregnant with the dragon heir now, you really..." The maid was nervous and said the wrong thing again.

"Enough!" Wen Chongyi was really angry this time.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"It seems that you didn't listen to what I said last time. The punishment last time was not painful enough for you." Wen Chongyi looked at her with disappointment.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I know I was wrong." The palace maid kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Wen Chongyi closed her eyes, hardened her heart, and said in a cold voice: "Go out and kneel outside the palace for three hours, and you will be punished to serve me for half a year. If you do it again, you don't have to serve me anymore." This maid had served her since she was a child, and was also the head maid in Zhonghua Palace. Now, if she punished her like this, it would definitely cause discussion among other palace people.

But she couldn't indulge her like this anymore, otherwise, she would get into trouble one day.

"Your Highness! I deserve to die. I really know I was wrong. Your Highness... please forgive me."

“Women go down!”

"Yes!"

She was the only one left in the bedroom. Wen Chongyi came to the window alone. The moonlight tonight was very beautiful. She admired it blankly. "What is her charm that deserves your love for her?"

"I have known you since childhood. Since she entered the palace, you have broken the rules for her time and time again. I really can't understand you like this."
