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

"Miss, why is Guard Lu following us all the time?" The palace maid beside Lu Chuyi turned around carefully and glanced at Lu Moyu.

Lu Chuyi turned his head slightly, glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, tightened his grip on the maid's hand, frowned and whispered, "Hurry up!"

"Yes." The maid lowered her eyes and responded, and the two of them quickened their pace to go back.

Lu Moyu accompanied her to the gate of Shou'an Palace, and only felt relieved when he saw her return safely. He stood not far from Shou'an Palace for a long time before leaving.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. She was the concubine of the previous emperor, the imperial concubine in the palace. There were status, rules, and etiquette between them, and there shouldn't be any involvement. But every time he saw her, he felt very painful when he thought that she would have to die in this palace in the future.

Weiyang Palace

Shuang Ning walked forward with a smile on her face, leaned over and whispered in Zheng Xiyan's ear: "Your Majesty, Guard Lu escorted Concubine Lu all the way back to Shou'an Palace."

Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression became subtle. Xiao Shuyue, who was standing beside her, had a tired look on her face. She came forward in a daze and lay directly on her legs, murmuring in a low voice: "Mother, Shu'er is sleepy. When can Shu'er go to bed!"

Zheng Xiyan comforted him softly, "It will be over soon, just be patient. Staying up all night is something we have to do every year to pray for a smooth and peaceful year ahead."

Xiao Chengji, who was sitting next to him, was fine. He was very calm. Although he felt a little sleepy, he did not show it obviously.

Xiao Chengyi was already drowsy, his eyelids were fighting each other, and his body was swaying. Fortunately, the palace servants around him kept keeping an eye on him, so he didn't fall off the chair.

"Third brother, third brother..." Xiao Chengji touched him with a serious face.

Xiao Chengyi opened his eyes sleepily, then closed them again. The palace servant immediately called him, "Your Highness Prince Cheng, wake up..."

"Xiao Chengyi..." Xiao Chengyi called him in a low voice. When Xiao Chengyi heard the familiar voice, he woke up immediately and sat up straight. He couldn't resist the sleepiness that was coming over him, so he could only pinch his thigh hard.

Zheng Xiyan saw this scene, smiled happily, and said in a gentle voice: "Yier, come, come to your mother."

It took Xiao Chengyi a while to react, and he walked up to her in a daze, "Mother..."

Zheng Xiyan touched his head and smiled softly, "Just bear with it a little longer, you will be able to go back and rest soon."

Xiao Chengyi closed his eyes and nodded, "Hmm..." Then he sat down at her feet, just like Xiao Shuyue, and lay on her knees with his eyes closed.

Xiao Chengji looked over, a smile appeared on his lips, he stood up and sat next to Zheng Xiyan, his voice was a bit coquettish: "These two, they can't make it to the end every year!"

Zheng Xiyan's eyes were gentle and loving. She touched his forehead and said softly, "If you feel sleepy, just take a nap. Mother is here. It's okay."

"I'm not sleepy. I'll stay up all night with my mother!" Xiao Chengji shook his head and a childlike smile appeared on his face.

"You! Don't always try to be so strong, and don't take everything on yourself. It makes your mother feel bad seeing this." Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly. Among the three children, he had the hardest life.

"I'm fine, mother, don't worry." Xiao Chengji said with a firm look. He would be a good emperor and would definitely do better than his father.

At this time, the bells rang, and the New Year arrived. "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the New Year has arrived."

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, brilliant and dazzling, very beautiful, "Mother, I have asked someone to prepare fireworks."

The sound of fireworks woke up Xiao Shuyue and Xiao Chengyi. When they heard that there were fireworks to be set off, they woke up immediately. "Fireworks? Where are the fireworks?" Xiao Shuyue asked in a baby voice.

The palace maid came forward to help them both up, and Zheng Xiyan said with a smile: "Okay, let's go out and take a look!"

Biluo and Shuangning brought cloaks, and several people walked out of the palace. The palace servants had already prepared fireworks. Xiao Shuyue ran over directly, and the palace servants immediately handed the fireworks to her, "Princess, please!"

Xiao Shuyue held fireworks in both hands and said happily, "Mother, my brother, look, this is fun!"

"Shu'er, I'm here too." Xiao Chengyi ran over. The two of them stood in the fireworks, with happy smiles on their faces.

Zheng Xiyan looked at this scene and felt sincerely happy. In this life, her relatives, children, and Biluo and Shuangning who had been with her since childhood were all by her side. Compared to the tragic ending of her previous life, she was really too happy in this life.
