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

Xiao Chengji's mood was very complicated. He knew that his mother did all this for him, so that he could ascend to the throne smoothly. But as a son, he didn't want to see his father and mother come to this point.

"Mother, do you really want to go to the Purple Palace?" Xiao Chengji asked her expressionlessly.

Zheng Xiyan was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she gently touched his head the next second, "Ji'er, when mother comes back, she will explain everything to you. Trust mother, okay?"

Xiao Chengji did not hesitate. He believed that his mother must have her reasons for doing this. His father did not like him and did not necessarily love his mother that much. He should not hesitate at this time.

"Okay, I will wait for you to come back. I will take good care of my brother and sister. You can go with peace of mind." Xiao Chengji held her hand, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he looked at her with bright eyes.

Zheng Xiyan smiled with relief, "Okay, Ji'er, don't worry, everything will go well. Mother promises you."

"Yes, I believe in you, mother." Xiao Chengji nodded vigorously, tears in his eyes.

Zheng Xiyan slowly stood up, her eyes became firm, and she strode out the door. Xiao Chengji turned around and looked at her back with moist eyes.

Zheng Xiyan arranged everything, leaving Shuang Ning and Zi Rui behind, and summoned Zi Luo back, the three of them would stay in Weiyang Palace. She took Bi Luo with her and headed resolutely towards the Zichen Palace.

In the princess's mansion, Princess Xuanhua has woken up. She is leaning on the bed, her eyes dull, she is hopeless, her face is covered with tears, and she looks like she has lost all hope in life.

The Queen Mother sat on the bed, worried, and comforted her: "Xuanhua, I know you are sad, but you have to take care of yourself! If something happens to you again, what will happen to Jun'er and Sheng'er!"

When mentioning her two children, Princess Xuanhua finally couldn't help crying, "Ah..."

The Queen Mother had tears in her eyes and a look of heartache as she held her in her arms.

Outside the princess's mansion, Zheng Xiyan's eldest brother directly surrounded the mansion and then took control of it.

When the news of Helian Cheng's death came, the princess's mansion was in chaos. With the sudden marriage of the Empress Dowager, the mansion was even more panicked. The guards of Duke Zheng's mansion were all secret guards who were worth ten times their strength. In just over half an hour, they took control of the princess's mansion.

The Empress Dowager's mind was all on Princess Xuanhua, so naturally she didn't notice what was going on outside.

……

Outside the Purple Palace, Lu Ran saw the Queen's phoenix carriage arrive, and he immediately knelt down to pay his respects, "Your Highness Lu Ran, pays respects to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with good health!"

Biluo helped Zheng Xiyan get off the phoenix carriage. She lowered her eyes slightly, the corners of her mouth slowly raised, and said softly, "Commander Lu, please don't be polite."

“Thank you, Queen.” Lu Ran stood up, and the two of them looked at each other. The next second, he made way and said in a deep voice, “Queen, please!”

Zheng Xiyan's eyes were firm and powerful, and she stepped over the threshold with heavy steps. Lu Ran followed behind her with an expressionless face. His eyes would fall on her from time to time, but would then quickly look away.

When the eunuch in front of the emperor saw this scene, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness. Just as he was about to bow and greet, he was stopped by Zheng Xiyan, "No need to be polite. Where is His Majesty?"

"Thank you, Her Majesty. Your Majesty, has just finished his dinner and is now reviewing memorials. Is Concubine Yi in there?" the eunuch in front of the emperor said respectfully.

"Oh? Concubine Yi is here too?" Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending to be a little surprised.

Tonight, all the meals Xiao Xuanchen ate were delivered by Zhang Menghan, and some of the ingredients in those meals were made by Imperial Doctor Yuan.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go in and report." The eunuch in front of the emperor paid his respects and was about to go in, but Zheng Xiyan didn't even look at him, but waved her hand. Then two imperial guards came forward and took him down.

The eunuch in front of the emperor was panicked and asked in a trembling voice: "What is the Empress...doing?"

"Shut his mouth and take him away." A hint of impatience flashed across Zheng Xiyan's face.

"Yes."

The eunuch in front of the emperor had a look of fear and terror in his eyes, and was dragged away like that.

Zheng Xiyan's eyes turned cold, she looked at the door and said coldly, "Open the door."

"Yes."

After the door opened, Zheng Xiyan took Biluo in. Lu Ran did not follow them in, but waited outside, waiting to be summoned.
