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

"Your Majesty... I am your concubine, I am..." Before the woman could finish her words, she was grabbed by the guards and fell to her knees on the ground in an instant, "Ah..."

"Who is this person?" Xiao Chengji frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look.

"Your Majesty, I think this person's attire makes her look like the late emperor's concubine." The eunuch in front of the emperor was also a little uncertain. After all, the late emperor had quite a few concubines. There were dozens of them with titles in Shou'an Palace, and if you add some concubines of lower status and court ladies, there would be even more.

"Your Majesty, I am Yun'er! Your Majesty..." the woman shouted loudly, her eyes full of joy and desire.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and drag him away!" The eunuch in front of the emperor stepped forward and shouted coldly.

"Yes." The guards quickly took the person away. The woman's eyes were full of unwillingness, and she kept shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you forgotten Yun'er? Your Majesty..."

At this time, Lu Ran rushed over. Three years ago, Lu Ran had been reinstated and was responsible for the security of the imperial palace, while Zhang Sheng had requested to go to the northern battlefield to garrison three years ago.

"I'm sorry for disturbing Your Majesty. Please forgive me!" Lu Ran knelt in front of the imperial carriage, with a beard on the corners of his mouth and a calm face.

Xiao Chengji frowned slightly, his expression slightly dissatisfied, and said in a cold voice: "Who is this person? Why is he here? Lu Ran, as the commander of the Imperial Guards, this matter will be left to you to investigate!"

"Yes, I obey your order!" Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

Afterwards, Xiao Chengji winked at the eunuch in front of the emperor, who immediately understood and said, "Get up!"

"Your Majesty, I respectfully see you off!" Lu Ran quickly made way and bowed to see him off.

Soon, this matter reached Zheng Xiyan's ears. "She is a talented person. She was favored once by the late emperor. She was born as a maid in the Purple Palace. When the emperor passed away, she was just fifteen years old. Now she is only twenty-three years old."

"Years ago, a palace maid came to report that Liang Cairen was not in a good condition. He often sat there alone, dazed and grinning, and said some frightening things. I asked the imperial physician to see him, and he said that he had mental problems. I asked the people around Liang Cairen to take good care of him, but I didn't tell Your Majesty, thinking that Liang Cairen had not caused any serious trouble. I acted on my own, and I hope Your Majesty will punish me!" Biluo looked serious and knelt on the ground.

Shuang Ning stood aside, her expression becoming nervous, "Your Majesty, Biluo didn't tell you because she didn't want you to be troubled by these things. Please don't blame Biluo." Shuang Ning also knelt down directly.

Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly, her face looking a little heavy, "Alright, when did I ever say I was going to punish you? Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up from the ground.

"What else has happened in Shou'an Palace these days?" Zheng Xiyan asked in a deep voice.

After thinking it over, Biluo replied respectfully, "The Concubine Xian has caught a cold, but fortunately it's not serious. The imperial physician said she will be fully recovered in a few days."

"There is nothing else."

"Let the imperial physician check Liang Cairen's pulse again and take a closer look at what's going on. Also, keep a close eye on Shou'an Palace these days. This kind of thing must not happen again. Also give orders that those who know about this matter keep their mouths shut." Zheng Xiyan said with a dignified look on her face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do it right away!" Biluo bowed and retreated.

Zheng Xiyan's eyes drooped slightly, her expression became very solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "There are quite a few concubines like Liang Cairen in Shou'an Palace!"

Shuang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I remember the selection before the late emperor passed away. There were twelve beauties in total, and they are now no more than 25 or 26 years old. There are also a few favored maids in the palace, and they are all around 25 years old."

"It's such a pity that you have to spend the rest of your life in this palace at such a prime time!" Zheng Xiyan sighed.

"Your Majesty has done very well. Over the years, you have never treated them badly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses. Those who have princes and princesses, Your Majesty often rewards them. They are the concubines of the late emperor, and Your Majesty has done the most kindly." Shuang Ning frowned and said in a deep voice.

"They are all miserable women." Zheng Xiyan sighed.

"Oh! By the way, I remember that the previous dynasty had a practice of asking concubines and imperial concubines to go to the temple to pray for blessings?" Zheng Xiyan suddenly said.

Shuang Ning frowned and said, "Yes, there is indeed a precedent in the previous dynasty. Your Majesty means..."

"Alas~ It's not a good idea to set a precedent in our dynasty for this kind of thing. Let's discuss it with Ji'er first!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes."
