After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn
Chapter 362 A Gamble
"Mother, you are really worrying too much. The Queen is not that kind of person." Xiao Xuanchen said with a heavy expression. Even if the Queen has selfish motives, she is kind by nature and would never do such a thing.
The Empress Dowager frowned, her pupils locked, and her expression became extremely stern, "Emperor, you must be on guard against others. If it weren't for this time, I wouldn't have known that the harem is already under the control of the Empress alone. This cannot but make people think too much."
When Xiao Xuanchen heard this, a layer of frost formed on his face, which was very creepy. He began to ponder deeply about his mother's words.
"Son! The Queen's thoughts have become more and more serious in the past few years. Even your mother can't see through her. The Queen has to be on guard." A serious look appeared between the brows of the Queen Mother. She held Xiao Xuanchen's hand tightly and said in a low and cold voice.
Xiao Xuanchen thought back to what Zheng Xiyan had done in the past few days, and his suspicion and distrust of her grew stronger.
In the Weiyang Palace, Biluo and Shuangning knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, it is because of this servant's incompetence and betrayal of Your Majesty's trust. This servant is willing to be punished, please calm down."
Zheng Xiyan's face was solemn and filled with anger, but it was not directed at them. Seeing the two of them kneeling, she immediately stepped forward, bent down, helped them up, and said slowly, "Stand up! The Queen Mother can hide it for a while, but not forever. She will find out one day. It's good enough that we can hide it until now."
"Thank you, ma'am!"
"Then your Majesty, what should we do next?" Biluo said with a heavy face.
Zheng Xiyan slowly turned around and sat on the couch, her brows slightly furrowed, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face. After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind, her eyes became unusually firm and she said, "According to the current situation, we have to take the initiative. Go and quietly tell Doctor Yuan that we can start now."
A trace of shock and fear flashed across Biluo's face, but she still nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."
Shuang Ning watched Biluo leave, feeling a little uneasy. She slowly stepped forward and said in a trembling voice, "My Lady, are you...are you really going to do this?"
"Shuang Ning, we have no way out. The Queen Mother has already begun to doubt me, and maybe Xiao Xuanchen is the same. While we still have the initiative, we might as well take a gamble!" Zheng Xiyan clenched his fists, his face hard and cold, revealing his ruthless side.
At this time, Zi Rui rushed in and said anxiously: "My queen, there is news from the southern border. General Helian unfortunately died in the battle with the Rong tribe."
Zheng Xiyan's eyes widened instantly, but she remained calm. She hurriedly stepped forward to confirm, "Is the news true?"
"It's absolutely true. The news sent by the Duke has been known to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager. I heard that Princess Xuanhua fainted after learning the news. The Empress Dowager is worried about the princess and is about to leave the palace to visit her." Zi Rui continued calmly.
"The Queen Mother left the palace?" Zheng Xiyan grabbed Zi Rui's arm, his brain working rapidly. Suddenly, his eyes fixed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Tell father and grandfather to find a way to keep the Queen Mother in the Princess's Mansion. Also, let father and grandfather be prepared tonight..."
Zi Rui's expression trembled slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, "Yes, I will go right away."
"Then... Your Majesty, would you like to send someone to inform Prince Xiang?" Shuang Ning asked carefully.
Zheng Xiyan fell into silence. After thinking for a while, she said with a sharp look in her eyes, "No need. Call Lu Ran quietly."
"Yes."
……
In the evening, Zheng Xiyan dressed up beautifully, with bright makeup on her face and a proud look on her face.
At this time, Xiao Shuyue trotted in, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Mother, you are so beautiful today!"
Behind Xiao Shuyue were Xiao Chengji and Xiao Chengyi, "Mother, where are you going?" Although Xiao Chengji was still young, he had a deep mind and felt that his mother was very different today.
Zheng Xiyan walked forward with a gentle smile on her face, squatted down, looked at her three children, and said softly: "Mother is going to the Purple Palace to see your father, and may not come back tonight."
"Mother wants to see father, and I want to go too. I haven't seen father for several days." Xiao Shuyue grabbed Zheng Xiyan's hand and begged.
"Good girl, Yue'er, your mother has something to discuss with your father today." Zheng Xiyan's eyes fell on Xiao Chengji. She walked in front of him, with a gentle and serious look on her face. She said in a deep voice, "Ji'er, you stay with your brother and sister tonight and wait for your mother to come back, okay?"
Xiao Chengji stared at his mother without blinking, and suddenly had a bad feeling. He was no longer a child. His father had been ill for quite some time. His mother had been in frequent contact with his grandfather and great-grandfather, and even sent someone to send an invitation to the head of the Fanyang Lu family. His grandmother was not in the palace tonight, so he could probably guess...
