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

"Then how will you deal with him?" Princess Xiang's words were accompanied by an unignorable tremor. Her hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched in her sleeves. Her palms were already clammy and cold, and her face was as pale as paper.

"Deal with him? He has committed a heinous crime and deserves the name of treason. Princess, in your opinion, how should such a traitor be dealt with?" Zheng Xiyan raised the corner of her mouth for a faint smile. There was a hint of coldness in that smile. She stared at Princess Xiang calmly.

Upon hearing this, Princess Xiang's face instantly stiffened like a stone, her eyes widened, and she took a half step back in disbelief, as if she was nailed to the spot by an invisible force. "You...you are really so determined? He, he did so much for you, and you..." Her voice was filled with a bit of despair. She didn't expect that there would be such a cruel woman in the world.

Zheng Xiyan stood up slowly, her skirt brushing the ground, making a subtle and crisp sound. She walked steadily towards Princess Xiang, frowning slightly, with a hint of confusion and indifference in her eyes. "Princess Xiang, you should know what the King of Xiang has done over the years. He didn't treat you well, so why are you so heartbroken for him? Did he let you down? Now he has ended up like this. Aren't you happy?"

"As for you and your two children, don't worry. I will plead with His Majesty to ensure that you and your two children are safe and sound! However, you will have to come forward to testify that King Xiang has the intention of treason!" Zheng Xiyan promised with a firm face.

Upon hearing this, Princess Xiang's body trembled slightly, as if a sharp sword pierced her heart. She looked up suddenly, and the tears in her eyes finally burst out, "Unfeeling and ungrateful? Ha, it's so easy for you to say! He treated me so cruelly. He gave his heart to you, the woman he always said he wanted to protect, but you pushed him into the abyss! Zheng Xiyan, you really have a cruel heart. Why did you treat him like this?" Her voice was full of anger and unwillingness. Every word she said was like a sharp blade, piercing people's hearts.

"How dare you! How dare you call the Queen Mother by her name!" Upon seeing this, Biluo's face darkened and she shouted sternly. Her figure appeared beside Zheng Xiyan like a ghost, her eyes were as sharp as torches, staring directly at the Princess of Xiang, and she exuded an inviolable majesty.

However, Zheng Xiyan just raised her hand slightly to stop Biluo from taking any further action. Her eyes were complex and deep. "It's okay, let her speak." Her words were calm and firm, without a trace of fluctuation on her face.

Upon hearing this, Biluo, although reluctant, had no choice but to bow and agree, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then, she stepped aside, but still kept a vigilant eye on Princess Xiang to prevent any accidents.

Zheng Xiyan paced slowly, her brows slightly furrowed, like a touch of sadness in autumn, and she gazed deeply at the Princess Xiang in front of her, with both compassion and determination in her eyes.

"Think about your two children. I feel that Prince Xiang is not that important to you. Can a heartless husband be more important than your two children? You should know which is more important." Her words were like needles, piercing the wavering heart of Princess Xiang.

Upon hearing this, Princess Xiang turned pale as paper, and a complex emotion flashed through her eyes—reluctance, struggle, and deep helplessness. She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all. If she had to choose, she would naturally choose the child without hesitation, but... but she couldn't bear to give up on him like this.

Just as she was immersed in endless thoughts, Zheng Xiyan gently raised her hand, and Biluo immediately stepped forward to help her up. Zheng Xiyan's voice rang out again, with unquestionable majesty: "Once you make a decision, send someone to inform me, and I will arrange everything to protect you and your child." After that, she turned around and was about to leave. Every step seemed so decisive, as if even the air was frozen.

Princess Xiang looked at the figure that was about to go away, and she felt an unprecedented panic and helplessness in her heart. She took a step forward, with a trembling and unwilling voice: "I... Why should I believe you?"

Zheng Xiyan did not look back, but smiled faintly, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you. But now, who can you rely on? I did this just because you and I are both women and mothers, and I don't want to see you fall into despair. If you don't want to accept it, I won't force you."

Princess Xiang looked at the figure walking away, and an unprecedented feeling of powerlessness came over her like a tide, wrapping her tightly. She clenched her teeth suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, and took a few steps forward, almost shouting out the answer in her heart: "Wait! I choose! Everything is up to you, I just hope you can keep your promise and protect the three of us, mother and son!"

Hearing this, Zheng Xiyan finally stopped and turned around slowly. A gloomy and scrutinizing look appeared on her calm face. She stared at Princess Xiang quietly and asked, "What do you want to choose?" Her voice was soft, but it was as cold as ice.

Princess Xiang took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and buried all her hesitation and reluctance in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes had become extremely firm: "I choose the child. From now on, I am willing to obey the Queen Mother's orders and have no second thoughts."

Zheng Xiyan finally showed a satisfied smile on her face, which showed both the pride of victory and the praise for Princess Xiang's courage. "Okay, as long as you do it, I will fulfill my promise and ensure your peace for the rest of your life."

"Farewell, Her Majesty the Queen Mother!" Princess Xiang's expression became numb, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
