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

"Empress Dowager, the emperor is ruthless after all. I think there are some things you don't have to worry about. His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he has his own plans." Yu Ma still felt that if... the relationship between the Empress Dowager and His Majesty would definitely become tense, and if the mother and son turned against each other, then...

The Queen Mother also thought so when she was young. All she had to do was to be a good wife to the late Emperor, help him deal with the affairs of the harem, and educate the princes and princesses.

But later she gradually discovered that because of her indifference, too many people died in this palace for no reason.

Now, in my old age, whenever I think about it, I always feel guilty. I feel very sorry and can't get over it.

"I know exactly what you said. But Zheng Xiyan is the queen, with the support of Duke Zheng's Mansion and Prince Chu's Mansion. Once the truth comes out, think about the consequences?" The Queen Mother sighed helplessly. The status of the Prince of Chu was there, and the support of the royal family and court officials was not fake. If it really came to that, no one could say for sure.

"Oh!" Nanny Yu sighed.

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan and Xiao Xuanchen sat opposite each other and had lunch. Zheng Xiyan pretended to be jealous and said in a sour tone, "Your Majesty, Rong Fei has been sleeping with you for two consecutive days. I think Your Majesty likes Rong Fei very much."

Xiao Xuanchen smelled her jealousy and looked at him and asked, "Are you jealous again?"

"No, I am not jealous, and I won't be jealous in the future. But Your Majesty, you can't always favor Concubine Rong. There are many concubines with outstanding looks in the palace." Zheng Xiyan said indifferently.

"Are you really not jealous anymore?" Xiao Xuanchen felt very uncomfortable when he heard her say that.

Zheng Xiyan had a generous look on her face, smiling repeatedly as she said, "I am the Queen. As the Empress, it is a virtue for me not to be jealous. Moreover, I know how important I am in your Majesty's heart, so I will not be jealous of them."

When Xiao Xuanchen heard this, his expression changed slightly and he became even more unhappy.

Zheng Xiyan saw that he looked a little strange, so she asked, "Your Majesty, did I say something wrong again?"

"I just think..." Xiao Xuanchen paused, and then said in a very cold tone: "It's nothing, if you are not jealous, then don't be jealous."

Zheng Xiyan sneered in her heart and said coquettishly, "Isn't it better not to be jealous?"

"Not good." Xiao Xuanchen's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Zheng Xiyan was surprised. Don't men like their wives not to be jealous? What happened to him today? "But..."

"I have taken your words to heart. I am full now and will return to the Purple Palace. Please have a good rest, Queen. I will come to see you another day."

After Xiao Xuanchen finished eating, he wiped his mouth, then stood up and left.

Zheng Xiyan quickly stood up to see him off. She thought he was very strange. It seemed that she had said nothing wrong! She was not jealous, so he should be happy. How generous of her to do so!

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell." Zheng Xiyan found him incomprehensible.

After he left, Biluo helped her sit down. Zheng Xiyan asked, "Did I say something wrong just now? I am not jealous, so why is Your Majesty still unhappy?"

"Your Majesty, I guess that His Majesty cares about you, so he wants you to be jealous." Biluo said with a frown.

Zheng Xiyan smiled coldly when she heard this. How could this be possible? Although she had made a lot of efforts before and tried her best to seduce him, she just wanted to get pregnant with a dragon heir as soon as possible.

In this life, he treated her a little differently than in the last life, more gentle and considerate. But if she were to say that he cared about her, she would never believe it.

"Really?" Zheng Xiyan looked unconvinced.

"If a man really loves a woman, he will definitely hope that the woman will be jealous of him." Biluo continued, isn't that what is written in the storybooks?

Zheng Xiyan looked at Shuang Ning. Shuang Ning didn't quite understand, but she kept nodding, "Yeah."

Then he looked at Zirui and Ziluo, and they both nodded to Zheng Xiyan.

But Zheng Xiyan still didn't believe it. How could a cruel man like him care about a woman? It was even more impossible for her to be the one.

She had said this several times before, but he didn't react in this way. This time it was strange. Could it be that he was putting on another show in front of her?

After Xiao Xuanchen left Weiyang Palace, he sat on the imperial sedan chair and ordered, "Return to Zichen Palace."

"Yes! Let's go to the Purple Palace."

Xiao Xuanchen recalled the scene just now. She said that she was not jealous anymore, and her expression did not seem like she was acting. She really was not jealous anymore.

But why did he feel so sad? Why was that? What happened to him?

That night, when Xiao Xuanchen was having dinner, someone from the Jingshifang came and brought the green cards of the concubines in front of him. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards."

Xiao Xuanchen remembered that during lunch, Zheng Xiyan said that she was no longer jealous, and he felt a little angry.

He scanned the green cards and his sight fell on Xi Zhaoyi's green card, then said, "Tonight, Xi Zhaoyi will serve you in bed."

"The slave obeys."

The eunuch in front of the emperor saw the people from the Jingshifang off and said, "Eunuch Li, I see that His Majesty is not in a good mood. What happened today?"

"I'm wondering too. His Majesty has been unhappy since he came out of Weiyang Palace. Everyone in Zichen Hall has been in a state of panic this afternoon." The eunuchs in front of the emperor were all terrified and did not dare to relax for a moment.

"Fortunately, His Majesty turned over the cards tonight."

"Then I'll get ready first."

"Go!"

Xi Zhaoyi lived in Yuhua Palace. Someone from Jingshifang arrived at the palace and congratulated Xi Muyao, "Your Majesty, people from Jingshifang are here." The palace maid walked in happily.

Xi Muyao was having a meal. When she heard that someone from the Jingshifang had arrived, she was very surprised. "Jingshifang?"

"Your servant greets the Empress Zhaoyi and congratulates her. His Majesty has summoned you to sleep with him tonight. Please get ready quickly, Empress Zhaoyi!"

Xi Muyao showed a look of joy, now it was her turn. She thought Murong Yue would sleep with her tonight, but she didn't expect it would be her.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Xi Muyao gave a look to the maid Wan Zhu beside her, who immediately understood and stuffed a thick purse into his hand, "You are so polite, Empress Zhaoyi. Thank you very much, Empress Zhaoyi."

After Xi Muyao dressed up, she took a sedan chair to the Purple Palace and was invited to the bedroom. The eunuch in front of the emperor came in and said, "Please wait patiently here, Empress Zhaoyi. His Majesty is still dealing with memorials."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

"It's what a slave should do."

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan was sitting in front of the dressing table removing her makeup when she asked, "Who's sleeping with me tonight?"

"Your Majesty, it's Xi Zhaoyi."

Zheng Xiyan sneered and said, "I knew it." He came to Weiyang Palace at noon and acted like he was deeply in love. Fortunately, she didn't believe him and saw through him at a glance. His acting skills are getting more and more superb.

"Okay, all of you may leave now! I'm going to sleep. By the way, go pick out some decent jewelry from the storehouse. The concubines in other palaces don't need to come to pay their respects tomorrow morning, but Concubine Xi will definitely come to pay her respects. You can give the jewelry to her then." Zheng Xiyan ordered.

"The servant understands."

"Well! Back off!"

"The slaves retire."

After Zheng Xiyan lay down, she had a comfortable sleep.

Princess Shion

The eunuch in front of the emperor had urged him several times, but Xiao Xuanchen was still reading the memorials. "Your Majesty, it's already midnight, and the Concubine Zhaoyi is still waiting for you in the bedroom."

"Has the Queen rested?" Xiao Xuanchen raised his eyes and asked.

"The servants I sent back said that the Empress has gone to bed." The eunuch in front of the emperor said. He couldn't understand His Majesty now. It was obvious that His Majesty was concerned about the Empress, but why did he still...

"I understand."

Xiao Xuanchen then stood up and walked into the bedroom.
