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

Zheng Xiyan gently helped Zhang Mengxi up and whispered, "Mengxi, get up quickly. The ground is cold." She patted the back of Zhang Mengxi's hand gently, and her gesture was full of comfort. "Relax, I will take care of everything."

Zhang Mengying looked up, her eyes slightly red, but she tried hard to force a smile and replied softly, "Yeah." Zheng Xiyan warmed her heart with her unique tenderness like an older sister.

After Zhang Mengying left, Zheng Xiyan slowly sat down, her brows slightly furrowed, her face full of worry.

Seeing this, Biluo couldn't help but take a step forward, and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, do you really want to help Concubine Yi..."

Zheng Xiyan withdrew her thoughts, her eyes fell on Biluo, and she said calmly: "You all heard it just now. This is her own choice."

Upon hearing this, Zi Rui took a step forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I will go and prepare the abortion medicine right away."

Zheng Xiyan nodded gently and said, "Use the best medicinal herbs to make Concubine Yi suffer as little as possible."

"Don't worry, Madam."

Zheng Xiyan nodded slightly, with a hint of tenderness and determination flashing in her eyes, "Go!"

"Yes, your majesty." Zi Rui and Zi Luo accepted the order, bowed, and quietly withdrew.

Biluo looked at the two's backs, and her worries grew even worse. She couldn't help but speak again, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If you really want to get rid of the child in Concubine Yi's belly quietly, this... have you really thought it through?"

Zheng Xiyan smiled gently, with a hint of bitterness and relief in her smile, "Women with her temperament are rare in the world. Since this is what she wants, I will help her. After all, she entered the palace because of me, and I want to help her."

Biluo said, "Forgive me for saying so much, but Concubine Yi did not enter the palace because of you. If Concubine Yi's father had not made a mistake, Prince Xiang would not have been able to... If there was no Prince Xiang, the entire Zhang family might have been... Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Zheng Xiyan's words revealed an unquestionable firmness, as if no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she could bear it all on her own.

"Yes!"

Zhang Mengying walked out of Weiyang Palace slowly, the morning light casting mottled shadows around her. Her steps were slightly staggering, and her eyes were empty and blurred. At this moment, a clear and bell-like laughter floated from afar, breaking the silence around her.

Lu Chuyi, wearing a light and elegant dress, jumped towards her with a heart full of joy. Her face was filled with an innocent smile. "Sister!" She called out happily, her voice full of warmth and care, as if it could instantly dispel all the haze.

Zhang Mengying looked up when she heard the voice, and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood and tried to calm down by wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, trying to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow. But all these subtle movements could not escape Lu Chuyi's sharp eyes. She stopped and looked at Zhang Mengying with concern, her eyes full of doubts and worries.

"Why are you crying, sister? What's bothering you?"

Zhang Mengying shook her head slightly, forcing a bitter smile, "Nothing, I just suddenly missed home and couldn't help myself."

Lu Chuyi frowned slightly when she heard this, but then relaxed. She didn't seem to want to delve into it, and just gently patted the back of Zhang Mengying's hand to comfort her. "Sister, if you have something on your mind, you might as well tell me. Maybe I can help."

Zhang Mengying looked at her gratefully, unwilling to mention it, "Are you going to Weiyang Palace to find the Fourth Princess? I heard that you two have been getting along very well recently."

"Yes, the day before yesterday I promised the Fourth Princess that I would accompany her to fly a kite. She has a childlike nature and is most looking forward to these fun activities." Lu Chuyi said with a smile.

Zhang Mengying looked at her with a hint of envy in her eyes, "That's great! It would be great if I could live a carefree life like you."

"Sister, why do you have to envy me? You have your own style and stories." Lu Chuyi said with a smile, then remembered the business and said hurriedly, "I won't say more to sister. The princess may be waiting for me. I have to go there quickly."

"Okay, go ahead and be careful." Zhang Mengying watched Lu Chuyi's back gradually go away until the cheerful figure completely disappeared from her sight.

"Go back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting at the table, savoring her breakfast. Nanny Yu walked in quietly and reported the news from Weiyang Palace in a low voice. The Queen Mother couldn't help but frown slightly.

"As for Weiyang Palace, Concubine Yi went there early in the morning, but I don't know what she was doing there." There was a hint of caution in Nanny Yu's voice.

The Queen Mother put down her chopsticks, looked deep in her eyes, and asked, "Why did she go to Weiyang Palace so early in the morning?"

"Everyone in Weiyang Palace is very tight-lipped. It is extremely difficult to get anything out of them," explained Nanny Yu.

For some reason, the Queen Mother felt more and more that something was wrong with Zheng Xiyan, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. "This Weiyang Palace is no longer the Weiyang Palace of the past."

"The Queen Mother is probably worrying too much." Nanny Yu tried to comfort the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother shook her head, an indescribable worry on her face. "Don't you think the Queen is becoming more unfathomable now?"

"Perhaps the Queen Mother is overthinking it. This is not surprising, right?" Nanny Yu hurriedly tried to comfort her.

"I'm not afraid that the Queen will do something out of line, but I'm afraid that she will not be on the same page with the Emperor, and that the Emperor and the Queen are not on good terms. This is not a good sign."

"How is that possible? The Queen wouldn't do that." Nanny Yu advised.

The Queen Mother smiled coldly, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes. "People's hearts are complicated, and the world is unpredictable. Nothing in this world is unchanging."

When Nanny Yu heard this, she was startled but could only remain silent.
