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

"Over the years, she has been using me, my father, and my grandfather to help her secure the throne. At the same time, she has always been wary of me and fearful of my father and grandfather. She has never trusted me for a single moment."

"Ji'er is the eldest son, so it's only natural for him to be crowned as the crown prince. But how did he do it? If it weren't for the pressure from the court officials, would he have compromised? How has he treated Ji'er over the years? How did he favor the fifth prince? He even thought about abolishing Ji'er's position as crown prince and appointing the fifth prince instead."

"Xuanhua, tell me, what can I do? It was Xiao Xuanchen who was so cruel and unjust. If I just keep giving in, what will happen to the four of us, mother and children, as well as the Zheng family and the Prince of Chu's Palace? Do you think he didn't have a hand behind the Feng family, the Murong family, and the Li family back then?" Zheng Xiyan frowned, her eyes full of hatred.

"Impossible! How could my royal brother do such a thing?" Princess Xuanhua subconsciously began to refute, her expression becoming nervous.

Zheng Xiyan laughed and said coldly: "Xuanhua, you really don't understand him. Your royal brother is a wise ruler praised by the world? Haha... It's really ridiculous!"

"You are right. Concubine Yi is indeed my person. I sent her to your brother, but I did not let him indulge in music and dance every day. If he didn't want to, how could I force him? In his bones, he is a man who covets beauty. Do you want me to list all the ridiculous things he did in private?"

Princess Xuanhua frowned and shook her head, still unable to believe it.

"Why do you think he suddenly fell ill? It was because he didn't take care of himself, lived a frivolous life every day, and indulged himself too much, which damaged his body. As a result, a mere cold could easily take his life! All of this is his own fault!" Zheng Xiyan's face was full of disgust, and she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt when she said this.

When Princess Xuanhua heard this, she broke down and collapsed to the ground, her face filled with grief.

Zheng Xiyan looked at her, feeling a little sorry for her. She walked over and squatted beside her, saying softly, "Xuanhua, I won't blame you and mother for what your brother did. Believe me, I won't harm you."

"Over the years, you are the only person in this palace who has treated me sincerely. I am very grateful to you, and I pray that you can have peace and happiness in your life." These were her true words. Even though she had really hurt her, she really hoped that she could live a good life.

Princess Xuanhua looked at her with tearful eyes. Her vision was blurred. She couldn't see her clearly, nor could she see her own heart.

……

The next day, the imperial edict conferring the title of Grand Princess arrived at the Princess's Mansion, along with the imperial edict conferring the title of County Princess on Helian Jun.

"I have received your order. Long live the emperor!" Xuanhua said in a deep voice, with a very cold look and no expression on his face.

"Congratulations, Grand Princess. Congratulations, Grand Princess." The chief eunuch who delivered the imperial edict congratulated with a smile.

"Thank you!" Xuanhua said coldly.

After sending the messenger away, Xuanhua sat alone in the main hall, looking at the two imperial edicts. She fell into deep thought. Until now, she didn't know who to trust. Could she believe what Zheng Xiyan said? Should she believe it?

But the answer to her is always "I don't know".

"Mother, they said that I am a princess now, is that right?" Helian Jun ran into her arms with a smile, very happy.

"Yes, Jun'er is a princess now." Xuanhua smiled and looked at his daughter tenderly.

Helian Jun clapped his hands, very happy, "From now on, Xue Yaoqing and the others will have to salute me when they see me?" Helian Jun was still young, and he only knew that the princess was one level higher than those girls, and they had to salute him when they saw him.

Xue Yaoqing is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works and often plays with Helian Jun.

"You can say that, but Jun'er, Miss Xue and the others are all your friends. Now that you are a princess, you are not allowed to bully them! Xuanhua warned her worriedly."

"Well, of course Jun'er knows. Jun'er will never bully them and will not cause trouble for her mother." Helian Jun is very sensible. Although she is still young, she is old enough to be sensible. Naturally, she also knows that a lot has happened in these days. Her mother is in a very bad mood and always cries secretly alone.

"Jun'er is so good!" Xuanhua's face was full of relief. She hugged her in her arms. A tear fell from the corner of her eye and dripped onto Helian Jun's clothes.
