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

On this day, news came from Shou'an Palace that Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi had a quarrel, which alarmed Zheng Xiyan.

The cause of the incident was that when the palace maids around the two went to the imperial kitchen to get meals, the palace maids around Concubine Yi took away the meal that was supposed to be prepared for Concubine Xian.

This kind of thing happened frequently in the past, but at that time Concubine Yi was in favor, and with Xiao Xuanchen's favor and support, Concubine Xian could only swallow her anger.

But now, Xiao Xuanchen has passed away. The two of them live together in Shou'an Palace. They are both concubines with princes. Not to mention that when Xiao Xuanchen was alive, she was one of the four concubines. Moreover, in terms of seniority, Concubine Xian has the longest seniority and is naturally above Concubine Yi.

In a fit of impulse, Concubine Xian came to argue. Concubine Yi, who had been feeling uneasy for days, started by apologizing.

Seeing that she had no one to support her and was being bullied by others, Concubine Dowager Xian felt a little proud for a moment and made a few sarcastic remarks to her.

"I didn't expect it! You would have come to this day. So what if you were favored when the late emperor was alive? Now, you still live in this remote Shoukang Palace. You can only grow old and die in this palace in this life." After the death of Xiao Xuanchen, Concubine Xian seemed like a different person. She was not as cautious as before. She thought she had the most seniority in Shoukang Palace, so she acted superior everywhere!

"You..." When Concubine Yi heard this, she could no longer sit still and angrily retorted, "You are not like others. When the late emperor was alive, I may not have slept with him once in a year or two. I could only watch others being favored and jealous."

"You're talking nonsense..." Concubine Dowager Xian's expression changed instantly, her face turned red with anger, and the two of them started arguing, and even started fighting. If the palace servants hadn't pulled them apart in time, I'm afraid the argument would have never ended.

When Zheng Xiyan arrived at Shou'an Palace, everyone knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness the Queen Mother, I pay my respects to you. May you live in peace and happiness!"

"An? How can I say An?" Zheng Xiyan's eyes swept across everyone, and finally her sharp gaze fell on the two of them.

Concubine Xian was very upset. She shouldn't have been so impulsive. Now she has angered the Queen Mother. I'm afraid...

"Empress Dowager, please calm down!" Everyone apologized quickly.

"I have already understood the whole story on the way here. Concubine Xian, Concubine Yi, do you two know your mistakes?" Zheng Xiyan had a dignified look on her face and stared at them both with deep eyes.

"I know I was wrong, please calm down, Your Majesty!" The two of them kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Hmph~" Zheng Xiyan sat on the chair that Biluo brought. She exuded a cold air all over her body, which made people shudder.

Concubine De acted as if she had nothing to do with it. She sneered at these things and looked down on them. "Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell. I will return to my own palace first."

"Go!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice, willing to give her this face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Dowager De bowed and withdrew.

After Concubine De left, the place immediately fell into deathly silence. Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi were so scared that they trembled with fear and their faces turned pale.

"Have the people from the imperial kitchen arrived?" Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows, her eyes as piercing as a knife.

"Your Majesty, we're here. Someone, bring him up." Biluo said in a low voice.

"Yes."

The eunuch who came from the imperial kitchen was a young eunuch, who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. He knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, "Your servant... Your servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager!"

"It was you who allowed the people around Concubine Yi to take away Concubine Xian's meals?" Zheng Xiyan's expression was very serious, which scared him directly.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please forgive me. Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please spare my life..." The young eunuch was so scared that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"He failed in his job properly and will be fined one month's salary. Take him away!" Zheng Xiyan could actually guess that today's incident had nothing to do with this little eunuch. He was just taking the blame for someone else.

"Ah..." The young eunuch collapsed directly to the ground, his face full of despair. He had just entered the palace not long ago, and his parents had no choice but to send him to the palace because they were too poor. They were counting on his salary in the palace to send money back home?

Zheng Xiyan then gave Biluo a look, and Biluo immediately understood. He waved his hand and someone came forward to take him away. Then he followed and left.

"Who went to the imperial kitchen to get Concubine Yi's meal today? Come out!" Zheng Xiyan's eyes were cold and her face was full of majesty.

Concubine Yi was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe and her heart was beating very fast.

“Yes… yes, it’s me!” The maidservant beside Concubine Yi knelt down and came forward, crying and begging for mercy, “Please spare my life, Empress Dowager! I was wrong, please forgive me this time!”
