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

Zhang Sheng didn't know whether to move the knife in his hand or put it down. His eyes fell on Zheng Xiyan with confusion.

Zheng Xiyan took a deep breath, her eyes turned sinister, she slowly turned around and said coldly: "Choose! Don't let me take your life!"

Xiao Xuanqi ignored her back, but there was still a faint light flashing in his eyes. He smiled slightly, picked up the poisoned wine beside him, and drank it with a determined look on his face.

"You win, Zheng Xiyan, I wish you a safe, prosperous and secure life!" Xiao Xuanqi's eyes were full of relief, and he sincerely hoped that she would be happy.

Zheng Xiyan opened her eyes, took heavy steps, and walked away with a cold expression on her face.

Xiao Xuanqi had tears in his eyes but a smile on his face, until his vision darkened and he fell to the ground with poisonous blood flowing out of his mouth. He could clearly feel his life slipping away bit by bit until death came.

"Prince..." Soon, the miserable cry of Princess Xiang was heard from the prison, and Zheng Xiyan returned to the palace in a carriage.

On the way, Zheng Xiyan had no expression on her face. She just felt empty in her heart. She didn't know why it was like this. Xiao Xuanqi was dead. She should be happy, but it seemed that she was not so happy.

Biluo sat aside, frowning slightly, looking a little worried.

Shuang Ning quietly lifted the curtain and glanced at Zhang Sheng. Shuang Ning was already 25 years old and according to palace rules she could leave the palace and get married.

Since Zhang Sheng became the commander of the imperial guards, the contacts between the two have become closer, and Biluo has developed a certain liking for him. Biluo has seen all of this.

As early as three years ago, the Empress had asked them if they wanted to leave the palace and get married. She would arrange everything and even choose husbands for them personally. At that time, they all refused.

Leaving the palace and getting married is not as good as staying with the Empress. But now, she thinks Shuang Ning may be thinking about getting married.

Soon, the news that Xiao Xuanqi committed suicide in prison spread, and with the testimony of Princess Xiang, Xiao Xuanqi was stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner. However, because Princess Xiang had made a meritorious report, the Xiang Palace was not implicated, but they had to move out of the Xiang Palace and were not allowed to set foot in Shangjing City for the rest of their lives.

Half a month later, everything was settled.

……

That day, Biluo saw Shuang Ning Xinxing coming back in high spirits, and she knew without a doubt that she was going to see Commander Zhang again.

"Come with me!" Biluo had a sullen face and his tone was cold without any warmth.

Shuang Ning's expression changed slightly, and she followed with some worry.

When the two returned to their residence, Biluo's face looked very ugly, and he asked in a cold voice: "Shuang Ning, where did you go just now?"

"No... I didn't go anywhere. I just went to the Clothing Bureau and brought back some new clothes for the Empress." Shuang Ning looked guilty and lowered her head, not daring to look up at her.

Biluo's eyes were somewhat creepy. Having been with the Empress for so many years, she had gained a bit of dignity. "Do you think you can hide this from me?"

"I..." Shuang Ning rubbed her hands, feeling a little ashamed.

"Do you like Commander Zhang?" Biluo pointed it out directly. In the past few days, Shuangning often found excuses to leave Weiyang Palace, and eight out of ten times she went to find him. These were not difficult to find out if anyone paid attention.

"I... I like him. Is that not possible?" Shuang Ning asked back. Commander Zhang is handsome and gentle. He is a rare and ideal husband. The queen treats them very well, but now she does have the idea of ​​getting married. There is nothing wrong with being respected in the palace, but she also wants to live a stable life.

"What about him? Does he like you?" Biluo asked directly.

"I... I don't know yet?" Shuang Ning was instantly deflated. She was not sure whether Zhang Sheng liked her or not.

Biluo looked very disappointed with him and said angrily, "You! You are so eager to help me. What can I say to you?"

At this time, a little palace maid came over and bowed slightly, "Aunt Bi, Aunt Shuang, the queen has woken up and is calling you two aunts."

Biluo walked out immediately without saying anything else.

Shuang Ning quickly followed.

In the bedroom, Zheng Xiyan sat in front of the dressing table, closed her eyes, and gently pressed her forehead. Her face still looked a little tired, "My Queen!"

"Why don't you two see me when I wake up? Where have you been?"

Shuang Ning lowered her head, picked up the comb on the table and began to comb her hair.

Biluo glanced at Shuangning and chose to hide the truth for her. "It's nothing. I was just discussing with Shuangning that the queen's birthday is coming soon. What should we do to please the queen on her birthday?" Biluo's face was full of smiles.

Shuang Ning lowered her head, and agreed with a guilty look: "Yes! I have already thought about what reward I would like to ask for from the queen."

Zheng Xiyan looked at the two of them. They had been serving her since they were young, and their every move could not escape her eyes. She also knew that Shuang Ning had often gone out in the past few days.

"Shuang Ning, let me guess what reward you want today..." Zheng Xiyan raised the corner of her mouth and looked at her with a smile on her face.

Shuang Ning suddenly raised her head and became very nervous for some reason.
