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

Outside the Purple Palace, the figure of the eunuch in front of the imperial court appeared particularly nervous in the morning light. He looked at the empress dowager's sedan chair slowly approaching from a distance. The eunuch's voice trembled slightly with fear and resounded in the empty palace: "The empress dowager has arrived!"

Inside the palace, Concubine Yi trembled slightly, and her eyes involuntarily slid to the bed. Xiao Xuanchen was sleeping soundly, and his brows could not hide his fatigue. She forced herself to calm down, slowly stood up, and went to greet the Queen Mother with an imperceptible tremor in her steps.

The door of the Purple Palace opened with a bang, and a majestic aura rushed in. The Queen Mother, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked into the palace with steady steps. Her eyes were as cold as ice, scanning everything around her. Seeing this, Concubine Yi knelt down on the ground, touching the ground with her forehead, and her voice was trembling: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, the Queen Mother. May you be blessed and safe."

The Queen Mother did not respond at all, but just walked around her and went straight to the bedroom. Concubine Yi's heart was in her throat, but she did not dare to stand up without permission. She could only maintain the posture of kneeling and praying in her heart.

In the bedroom, the Queen Mother stared at the sleeping Xiao Xuanchen. Her face looked so pale and weak at the moment, and she was very uneasy. She asked softly, "Where is Doctor Yuan?"

"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Yuan is waiting outside and will be here soon," Nanny Yu replied respectfully.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, then turned and left, unwilling to disturb Xiao Xuanchen's rest any longer. When she saw Yi Zhaoyi still kneeling on the ground, she paused slightly and walked slowly towards her. Every step was like a heavy hammer hitting Yi Zhaoyi's heart, making her feel unprecedented pressure.

The Queen Mother stood still, her eyes as sharp as torches, looking directly at Concubine Yi: "You are so brave." These few simple words were like a heavy hammer, causing Concubine Yi's heart to sink to the bottom in an instant.

"I don't know what I have done wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." asked Concubine Yi.

"The emperor is busy with state affairs, and you, as a Zhaoyi, do not think about assisting him. Instead, you tempt the emperor to become obsessed with beauty and neglect state affairs. This is a great crime!" The empress dowager's words were like a chill wind, which made people shudder.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She cried out in injustice, "Empress Dowager, I am innocent! Last night was the first time I slept with the concubines since they entered the palace. This matter has nothing to do with me!"

"None of your business? Humph!"

Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, Imperial Physician Yuan hurried in, knelt down and bowed, breaking the frozen atmosphere. "Your Highness pays respect to the Empress Dowager and greets the Empress Zhaoyi."

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother quickly ordered, "Doctor Yuan, please go in and check the Emperor's pulse. I think something is wrong with the Emperor."

"Yes!" Doctor Yuan took the order and walked quickly towards the bedroom.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Yi again, with a look of scrutiny and warning in her eyes: "You'd better pray that the Emperor is safe and sound, otherwise, I will never let you off easily!"

"Yes!"

The Queen Mother sat in the main hall, stroking the jade Buddha beads in her hand, with anxiety in her eyes, quietly waiting for the arrival of Doctor Yuan. The incense burner in the hall was emitting light smoke and a light fragrance.

Imperial Physician Yuan hurried out of the bedroom, his steps were hurried and cautious, and he came before the Queen Mother and bowed, "Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother looked at him with a sharp gaze, and asked with some urgency: "How is the Emperor's health?"

Imperial Physician Yuan paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is in good health. It's just that the government affairs have been very busy in recent days, and Your Majesty has been busy at night... so your spirits are a little weak. You just need to rest and recuperate for a few days, and you will be back to normal."

The Queen Mother's tense expression relaxed a little after hearing this. She waved her hand gently and said, "You can leave now. Remember to take good care of the Emperor."

"I obey your order and will take my leave." Imperial Doctor Yuan bowed and retreated. After he took a few steps away, his back was already wet.

Not long after leaving the Purple Palace, just as he was thinking secretly, he suddenly saw a phoenix carriage slowly approaching. Imperial Physician Yuan hurried forward and bowed, "Your humble servant greets the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health."

Zheng Xiyan sat in the phoenix carriage, her face gentle, and said: "Doctor Yuan, please don't be polite, but you just came from His Majesty?"

"That's right, Your Majesty," Doctor Yuan replied, with a hint of respect in his voice.

"How is your majesty's health?" Zheng Xiyan asked, her tone full of concern.

"Your Majesty is in good health, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." Doctor Yuan replied.

"That's good." Zheng Xiyan nodded slightly, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes, "Thank you, Doctor Yuan."

"This is my humble servant's job, so I dare not complain about the hard work." Imperial Physician Yuan bowed again, watched the phoenix carriage go away, then wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, feeling very nervous.

The phoenix carriage slowly stopped outside the Purple Palace, and the eunuch hurried forward and carefully helped the Queen get off the carriage. "Queen! Why is the Queen here?"

"Such a big thing has happened, and I can't come over?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"How is your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is sleeping, don't worry, the Queen Mother is in the palace."

Biluo helped Zheng Xiyan into the Zichen Hall. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw the Queen Mother scolding Concubine Yi.

"You shameless bitch, how dare you take the opportunity to seduce the emperor when he is tired? How audacious!" The empress dowager's voice was filled with anger, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.

Zheng Xiyan's face changed slightly and she quickened her pace and walked into the main hall. Concubine Yi was kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes.

"Your Highness the Queen Mother! I am innocent! Your Highness the Queen Mother, please understand clearly."
