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

"How is this possible? If the Queen really wants to abandon you, how could she plead for you in front of the Queen Mother? You are overthinking it." Caiwei advised.

After all, Yi Zhaoyi was grateful to the Queen. Recalling the scene in the Purple Palace that day, when the Queen stood up and blocked the Queen Mother's anger for her, that kindness made her heart surge with warmth and gratitude. "I can't guess what the Queen is thinking. But I will never forget her kindness to me."

In a flash, anger surged in her heart again. She turned around abruptly, her eyes sharp, "But what is the Queen thinking? This Zhang Mengying is a bitch, she is a disaster, it would be best to take her life when the opportunity arises." Her words were full of determination and hatred, as if she wanted to pour out all her dissatisfaction and anger.

Seeing this, Caiwei hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Madam, please stop talking! If this gets to other people's ears, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble."

Concubine Yi snorted coldly, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Why should I be afraid? Since Zhang Mengying dared to bully me, why should I be afraid to speak out?"

"Miss!"

Concubine Yi's face was ashen, her eyes were blazing with anger. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms without feeling any pain. She gritted her teeth and said, "She and I are irreconcilable. I must eliminate her. Not only for myself, but also for Mu'er."

The next day, the morning light was just beginning to show, and the Minghua Palace was filled with a leisurely scene. Xu Zhaorong and Li Jieyu sat side by side under the carved window lattice, gently waving their round fans in their hands, talking with a bit of laziness and comfort. The palace maids were walking around, some whispering, some playing and laughing, and the fifth princess's laughter was the most crisp and pleasant. She was surrounded by a group of palace maids, playing with colorful kites, and her little face was filled with pure happiness.

Li Jieyu opened her red lips slightly, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and whispered: "Sister, have you heard? The one in Yuhua Palace suddenly caught a cold. It is said that the cold wind at night penetrated his bones and his condition is quite serious."

Xu Zhaorong smiled faintly upon hearing this, but there was a hint of sarcasm hidden in that smile: "She is so fragile. She has been in the palace for only a few months and she is already bedridden. It seems that not everyone can easily endure the days in the palace."

"That's right!" Li Jieyu frowned slightly, looking even more puzzled, "But the Queen's move is puzzling. She actually sent someone as caring as Miss Zi Rui to take care of the sick. The deep meaning behind this is really intriguing."

Xu Zhaorong sighed and shook her head: "How can we guess what the Queen is thinking? Maybe it's for His Majesty?"

"For His Majesty?" Li Jieyu repeated this sentence with a flash of doubt in her eyes.

"Who in the palace doesn't know that Your Majesty favors Concubine Yi? Could it be that the Empress is doing this to show her magnanimity and love for the concubine?"

"In that case, the Queen is really too virtuous." Li Jieyu sneered, revealing a bit of disdain in her words.

"Who knows? We should just live our own lives now. If they want to fight, let them fight."

Upon hearing this, Li Jieyu also nodded in agreement, "Sister, you are right. Concubine Xian, Concubine De, and Concubine Yi are all very troublesome, and they have a prince by their side. There must be fights and struggles in the harem. Although Concubine Yi is favored by the emperor now, if she really has a child, she will inevitably be involved in this dispute. We should just treat it as a good show and watch the excitement."

Xu Zhaorong smiled bitterly, her eyes gently falling on the fifth princess, her face softened a lot: "Yes, we have no prince to rely on, we can't compete, and we can't fight."

Seeing this, Li Jieyu also looked at the Fifth Princess and said with a wry smile: "Sister, at least there is still a princess by your side, this is already very good."

The two smiled at each other. This indifference and detachment was particularly precious in this harem full of intrigues.

In Yuhua Palace, Zheng Xiyan moved lightly with lotus steps. The palace gate opened slightly, and a ray of warm sunlight just fell on her shoulders. She walked into the palace. The air still had the faint fragrance of breakfast, intertwined with the freshness of herbs.

Zhang Mengying was leaning on the soft bed, her face pale but still beautiful, with the occasional chirping of birds coming from the window. When she saw Zheng Xiyan walk in, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she tried to stand up and salute, but was gently and firmly pushed back to her original position by Zheng Xiyan.

"Just lie down and take care of yourself." Zheng Xiyan's voice was gentle but powerful. She sat gently on the edge of the bed and gently covered Zhang Mengying's hands, which were slightly cold.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your kindness. I am very grateful." Zhang Mengying's voice was thin but full of sincere emotion. Tears flashed in her eyes, expressing her gratitude for the Queen's care and her deep longing for her relatives far away.

"You are such a kind person, Queen. Whenever I see you, it always reminds me of my sister."

Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly, "Between you and me, why should I thank you? Although I am much older than you, I can still be your support in this deep palace. Just treat me as your sister."

When talking about her elder sister, Zhang Mengxi's eyes became redder, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. "My elder sister loved me deeply since I was a child, but for the sake of the family, she married far away in Luocheng, and since then we have been separated from each other and will never see each other again."

Zheng Xiyan couldn't help but sigh when she heard this. "Luocheng is indeed far from Shangjing, with high mountains and long rivers, and it's hard to tell when I can return." She sighed softly.

"Yeah! I wonder if my sister is doing well in Los Angeles?"

Zheng Xiyan comforted them: "You sisters will meet again one day."

"really?"

Zheng Xiyan nodded heavily, "I definitely will. I promise you that you sisters will be reunited one day."

Zhang Mengying couldn't hold back her tears after hearing this. She held Zheng Xiyan's hand tightly, and her gratitude was beyond words. "It is my great honor to meet you. Queen, I will never forget your kindness."

Zheng Xiyan patted the back of her hand gently, her eyes full of encouragement and comfort. "Take good care of yourself. Once you recover, you will naturally be free again."
