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

"Xiao Xuanqi, are you really going to accept your fate? Just for a woman?" Concubine Yi's voice was full of confusion and disappointment.

Prince Xiang Xiao Xuanqi took a deep breath, lowered his head slightly, and said with a hint of bitterness in his voice: "Mother, I want to let go. Please grant my wish." Although his voice was low, every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.

Concubine Yi pursed her lips tightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "Okay! If you don't care, what should mother care about?" There was a bit of bitterness in her voice, as if she was mocking herself.

"Thank you, mother, for your understanding." Xiao Xuanqi raised his head, his eyes flashing with gratitude.

Prince Xiang Xiao Xuanqi could not stay in Shou'an Palace for long, so he turned and left, each step he took was so heavy. After he left, Concubine Yi sat alone in the hall, looking at the empty door, extremely disappointed.

At this time, the nanny came forward and comforted her softly, "Don't be too sad, Concubine Dowager. The prince...he may have his own difficulties."

Concubine Yi sighed softly, tears flashing in her eyes: "I really gave birth to a good son!" There was endless sadness and helplessness in her voice.

Seeing this, the nanny quickly advised: "Queen, the prince has always been filial and sensible. This time he may really have no choice. Don't be too sad."

Concubine Yi waved her hand, signaling the nanny to leave: "Go away! Leave me alone." There was a hint of determination in her voice, as if she wanted to lock herself in endless disappointment and pain.

Seeing this, the nanny knew that it was useless to persuade her any further, so she could only withdraw silently. Shou'an Palace fell into silence again, leaving Concubine Yi alone to grieve.

In Shoukang Palace, Zheng Xiyan and the Queen Mother sat beside an exquisite tea table, sipping tea leisurely and talking about trivial matters in the palace. Princess Xuanhua sat beside them, holding her lovely son Jun'er in her arms. The little guy was staring at everything around him with his big eyes curiously.

Princess Xuanhua gently stroked Jun'er's head and said to the Queen Mother tenderly, "Mother, I will leave the palace and return to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow. I have been in the palace for so many days, and it is really time for me to return to the Princess's Mansion."

Although the Queen Mother was reluctant, she also understood that it was indeed against the rules to keep Princess Xuanhua in the palace, so she nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! The Prince Consort will come to the palace every day. If I don't let you leave the palace, the Prince Consort will probably complain."

Zheng Xiyan couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She joked, "The prince consort must be very happy now."

The Queen Mother was also amused by Zheng Xiyan's words. She looked at Princess Xuanhua and Jun'er with eyes full of love.

Zheng Xiyan came out of Shoukang Palace, her steps were hurried but steady, and returned to Weiyang Palace. She first came to the bedrooms of her two sons. Xiao Chengji had woken up, and his bright eyes were looking around, looking for the familiar figure. Zheng Xiyan walked over gently, revealing endless tenderness and love in her movements. She gently dressed Xiao Chengji and adjusted his collar, and every movement seemed so meticulous.

"Ji'er, my dear son." Zheng Xiyan hugged Xiao Chengji and kissed him twice on the cheek, her eyes full of doting. Xiao Chengji seemed to feel the love of his mother, stretched out his little hands and hugged Zheng Xiyan's neck tightly, with an innocent smile on his face.

At this time, Xiao Chengyi was still sleeping. Zheng Xiyan gently put Xiao Chengji aside and turned to walk towards Xiao Chengyi's bed. She sat quietly beside the bed, looking at her little son's peaceful sleeping face, and a warm current surged in her heart.

After a while, Xiao Chengyi also woke up. He opened his hazy eyes and saw that the person in front of him was his mother, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face. He stretched out his little hand, wanting his mother to hug him. Zheng Xiyan smiled and picked him up, rocking him gently, letting him feel the warmth of his mother.

Xiao Chengji also crawled over at this moment and snuggled up to the other side of his mother. Zheng Xiyan held her youngest son in her arms, and her eldest son lay on her lap. Both of them snuggled up to her tightly, as if they wanted to pour all their love into this warm embrace.

Biluo Shuangning, who was standing by, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She walked closer and said softly, "Your Majesty is so lucky to have two such well-behaved and lovely princes by your side." Zheng Xiyan smiled and nodded, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction.

In the Weiyang Palace, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, and the mother and her two children were having a great time, creating a warm and beautiful picture.

The next morning, the sunlight was like golden silk, shining through the delicate window lattices and falling on the golden floor tiles of Shoukang Palace, adding a bit of tranquility and warmth to this solemn and ancient palace. Princess Xuanhua had already gotten up early and was ready to leave the palace and return to her princess residence.

She walked into the main hall, holding young Jun'er tightly in her arms, with a look of reluctance and attachment on her face. She looked at the Queen Mother and Zheng Xiyan, tears in her eyes, and her voice was slightly choked with sobs: "Mother, sister-in-law, I will leave the palace now."

The Queen Mother looked at Princess Xuanhua, her eyes slightly red, her heart full of reluctance. She nodded slightly, her voice trembling a little: "Go, take good care of yourself and Jun'er."

Zheng Xiyan walked forward, gently held Princess Xuanhua's hand, and comforted her with a smile: "Xuanhua, the emperor's sister-in-law is in the palace, you don't have to worry. Take good care of yourself and Jun'er, and bring Jun'er to the palace often in the future."

Princess Xuanhua nodded, her eyes reddened. She held Zheng Xiyan's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will."

After saying this, Princess Xuanhua turned around, holding Jun'er, and walked out of the main hall slowly with a group of palace maids and guards. The sun shone on them, covering them with a layer of golden light.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch, looking at Princess Xuanhua's departing back, with a bit of loneliness in her eyes. Seeing this, Zheng Xiyan hurriedly stepped forward, gently held the Queen Mother's hand, and softly comforted her: "Mother, if you are so reluctant to let Princess Xuanhua go, why don't you let her stay in the palace for a few more days?"

The Queen Mother sighed and patted Zheng Xiyan's hand gently, her eyes full of helplessness: "Xuanhua is a married princess. How can a married princess live in the palace forever? Besides, the prince consort will miss her too."

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Xuanhua is the queen mother's daughter. If the queen mother really wants to keep Xuanhua in the palace for a few more days, others will not say much. Moreover, if the prince consort really loves Xuanhua, he will understand the queen mother's intentions."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled. She patted Zheng Xiyan's hand gently and sighed, "You are right. The Prince Consort is a reasonable person."
