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

When they reached the majestic gate of Weiyang Palace, they stood there in silence. Only the occasional footsteps of palace servants in the distance broke the silence. Not long after, a series of light footsteps sounded from the palace, accompanied by a wisp of elegant incense. Biluo, dressed in a light green palace dress, walked out gracefully with a gentle smile on her face. She bowed and said, "Greetings to Commander Lu, and to Madam. The Queen invites you."

"Miss Biluo, you are too polite. Please lead the way." Lu Ran said with some respect in his tone.

Inside the Weiyang Palace, the light gauze danced gracefully, the air was filled with fragrant mist, creating a peaceful and solemn scene. Zheng Xiyan sat on the phoenix throne, wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, looking very noble. Seeing the two people approaching, she gently raised her hand, indicating that they did not need to be polite, with a gentle arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health." Lu Ran and Zheng Wanyan stepped forward together, knelt down and saluted, showing their respect in their movements.

"Get up quickly. There's no need to be so polite." Zheng Xiyan's voice was gentle but powerful.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them stood up.

Zheng Xiyan gently signaled to Shuang Ning, who understood and came forward with an exquisite tray in her hand. On the tray, a pair of bronze peacock lamps shone brightly, and the craftsmanship was so exquisite that it was breathtaking. Seeing this, Zheng Wanyan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Thank you, sister, these peacock lamps are really beautiful."

"As long as you like it, I hope you two can be as affectionate as this peacock, and weather the ups and downs together." Zheng Xiyan's smile was as warm as before, and her words were full of blessings.

Hearing this, Lu Ran replied solemnly, "Thank you, Queen."

"Commander Lu, Wanyan is my only sister. You must treat her well. If you let her suffer any injustice, I will not let you go."

Lu Ran forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Queen, I will treat you well and will never let you suffer any injustice."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Zheng Wanyan's lips curled up with a smug smile. She walked forward, took Zheng Xiyan's hand affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Sister, I am your biological sister. Who dares to let me be wronged? Don't worry."

Zheng Xiyan scratched Zheng Wanyan's nose lovingly and said with a smile, "You!"

"Anyway, if the Lu family makes me suffer any injustice, I have my sister to back me up, so what should I be afraid of?"

"Yes! You are very confident and your words make sense, but remember, don't use my name to bully others." Zheng Xiyan's words were a bit joking, but also contained some sincere warnings.

Hearing this, Zheng Wanyan curled her lips slightly, a hint of stubbornness flashed across her brows, and she responded softly: "Of course not, if he treats me with courtesy, I will repay him with sincerity and will never bully him."

"Okay!" Zheng Xiyan nodded approvingly.

Soon, Zheng Wanyan and Lu Ran bid farewell to Zheng Xiyan and set out on their journey out of the palace.

When they walked to a place, two huge peacock lamps came into view, with colorful feathers, lifelike, as if they were about to spread their wings and fly. Zheng Wanyan's eyes were instantly attracted. She stopped and stared, with joy shining in her eyes, and whispered: "It's so beautiful. Sister understands me best and knows that I like peacocks."

Lu Ran was standing aside, his eyes casually passing over the peacock lamp, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "It seems that the Queen is really fond of you."

"Of course. I'm her only sister. If she doesn't love me, who else can she love?" Zheng Wanyan's words were filled with a bit of pride and a bit of coquettishness of a little girl.

Hearing this, Lu Ran shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Your words are so sharp that I have no way to refute them."

"What I said is the truth, why can't I say it?" Zheng Wanyan raised her eyebrows and asked back, her eyes flashing with confidence and persistence, "If a person lives a lifetime and doesn't even dare to speak out what's in his heart, then what's the point of living? Besides, you have a mouth, so just say whatever you want to say. Otherwise, what's the point of having a mouth?"

Lu Ran was choked by her words and was speechless for a moment. He could only shake his head helplessly again and admitted defeat: "Okay, okay, you are right. I admit defeat."

Seeing this, Zheng Wanyan smiled smugly, "I was right! You are such a boring person."

"I'm quite boring, so you have to be prepared. Being my wife, your life will be even more boring."

Zheng Wanyan's smile froze instantly, and she said coldly: "Who cares? I don't live for you. Just because your life is boring doesn't mean mine is boring. Anyway, we don't interfere with each other. If you don't like me, then don't bother me. I can live alone."

When Lu Ran heard this, a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes. He stopped and looked deeply at Zheng Wanyan. After walking a few steps, Zheng Wanyan noticed his stagnation and also stopped. She turned around and looked back, frowning slightly, and asked, "Why did you stop?"

"Where did you hear these words? Who told you these?" Lu Ran asked anxiously.

Zheng Wanyan smiled softly, "Why should I listen to others? I am not stupid. Can't I think of it myself?"

For some reason, Lu Ran's heart was suddenly touched, and he was deeply attracted by Zheng Wanyan's unusual figure. Her words and deeds were full of an indescribable charm and profound thoughts, which were completely different from the women around her who followed the rules and were content with the status quo.

"You... are somewhat similar to Chu Yi." There was a hint of tenderness in Lu Ran's words that he had not noticed.

Zheng Wanyan frowned slightly when she heard this, with a hint of confusion and curiosity in her eyes, "What? Why are you saying this?"

Before he finished speaking, a breeze blew by, carrying a familiar and hurried breath. Not far away, a crisp voice broke the silence: "Brother, sister-in-law."

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Chuyi wearing gorgeous clothes with her hair slightly messy. She had obviously come in a hurry with a look of joy on her face.

"Lu Chuyi?" Zheng Wanyan had met her several times and recognized her at first sight.

Lu Ran's face darkened slightly the moment he saw Lu Chuyi. When she approached, his tone was reproachful: "How could you come here? How can you behave like this?" They were about to reach the palace gate, and as a concubine, Lu Chuyi could not move around freely.

Lu Chuyi panted lightly, but with a warm smile on her face, she explained, "I wanted to go to Weiyang Palace to meet you, but it was too late, so I had to come here to chase you."

Seeing this, Zheng Wanyan quickly bowed according to etiquette and said in a gentle voice: "Greetings to Concubine Lu, Concubine Lu is well and safe."

Lu Chuyi hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. We are family, so why should we be so polite?"

Lu Ran's brows were still furrowed, and his words were harsh: "Go back to the palace quickly. If people know that you left the palace without permission, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble."

Hearing this, Lu Chuyi's eyes flashed with a trace of grievance. She bit her lip lightly and said, "What's wrong with me? It's all for the sake of seeing Big Brother. Big Brother is going too far."

Zheng Wanyan saw this and couldn't help but feel a little unfair. She said bluntly, "You are such a hard-hearted person. My sister finally came to see you with great joy, but you only blame her. What kind of brother are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran did not refute, which was rare. He just glanced at Zheng Wanyan.

Lu Chuyi looked at this scene, and besides being surprised, she also felt a little warm. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are really amazing. Look, my eldest brother didn't even dare to refute a word. This is the first time I've seen him suffer a loss."

Zheng Wanyan chuckled, her eyes firm: "Don't worry about him."
