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

Afterwards, Lu Lingyuan followed Zheng Xiyan and Xiao Chengji back to the palace and announced to the public that the Queen Mother had met the eldest daughter of the Lu family on the way back to the palace. The Queen Mother felt that she had a connection with the eldest daughter of the Lu family, so she invited her to the palace to keep her company!

His Majesty personally went out of the palace to bring the Queen Mother back to the palace, so the three of them entered the palace together.

The butler rushed in quickly, his chest heaving violently, as if every breath he took was carrying a heavy weight. He managed to steady himself, his voice intermittent due to his haste: "Reply...Report to the master and the madam, the eldest...the eldest girl..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu's heartstrings suddenly tightened. The tears that had not yet dried in her eyes gathered again, and her voice was choked with sobs and she could hardly speak: "Is there any news about... Yuan'er?" She moved forward slowly with trembling hands.

Seeing this, Lu Yuchen hurried forward, put one hand gently on his mother's shoulder, patted her back with the other hand, and comforted her with warm words: "Mother, don't worry, Yuan'er is a lucky person, and she will be safe and sound."

Lu Xuan sat in the main seat, his face dignified, his eyes flashing with cold light, as if he could see through all the conspiracies in the world. He asked in a deep voice: "Tell me quickly, what happened to the eldest girl?"

The housekeeper took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and said, "It's rumored outside that the eldest girl ran into the Empress Dowager who returned to the palace, and was brought into the palace by the Empress Dowager."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yucheng suddenly jumped up from his chair, his face full of astonishment, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.

Lu Xuan also had a solemn expression on his face and sat down slowly. In the front hall, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only the heavy breathing of the crowd.

The housekeeper secretly observed the expressions of several masters, feeling uneasy in his heart, and his lips trembled several times. Finally, he mustered up the courage and added in a hoarse voice: "And... and, I heard that His Majesty personally went out of the palace to welcome the Queen Mother."

Lu Xuan frowned, thinking to himself that since the Cui family hadn't made any move yet, he was afraid that this marriage had been canceled.

The person behind last night’s incident is most likely Your Majesty!

Lu Yucheng looked at his father, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he finally couldn't help asking: "Father, how...how should we deal with it? How could it be such a coincidence? This matter is clearly..." Lu Yucheng was interrupted by Lu Xuan's cold voice before he could finish his words.

Lu Xuan's eyes were like torches. He glanced at his son coldly and said sternly, "Yucheng, you need evidence for everything. Don't speak without evidence!" After that, he turned to face Madam Lu and said in a slightly slower tone, "Madam, you have to go to the palace immediately and bring Yuan'er back. The incident has already happened. Tell Yuan'er that our whole family is here and will not let her suffer any injustice..."

"I know, then...that Yuan'er's marriage with the Cui family..." Mrs. Lu asked unwillingly.

"Madam!" Lu Xuan raised his voice, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, "This marriage is already invalid!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu burst into tears again. She tightly grasped Lu Xuan's hand and sobbed, "My husband, what about Yuan'er's future?"

Lu Xuan gently patted the back of his wife's hand and said in a cold voice: "Madam, don't worry. The daughter of my Lu family will have her own destination. I will take care of this matter."

Lu Yuchen frowned, clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes became sinister and terrifying.

……

Inside Shoukang Palace, sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of warmth and softness to this solemn palace.

Biluo settled Lu Lingyuan in the east hall, which was quiet and elegant, with green bamboos swaying outside the window.

Zi Rui walked in holding a dose of sedatives. The aroma of the medicine lingered, interweaving with the faint dragon-pattern fragrance in the air, making people feel peaceful and calm.

Lu Lingyuan was a little hesitant at first, but then she let down her guard and slowly drank the bowl of warm medicine.

"Miss Lu, have a good sleep!" Zi Rui said gently.

"Thank you, auntie!" Lu Lingyuan said softly.

"These are what I should do. Miss Lu, you don't have to be polite!" After saying that, Zi Rui put down the tray in her hand and helped Lu Lingyuan lie down gently. In just a moment, she relaxed and fell asleep.

Outside Shoukang Palace, a burst of brisk footsteps broke the tranquility of the palace. Xiao Shuyue and Xiao Chengyi were the happiest when Zheng Xiyan came back. They found a random excuse to skip classes and went straight to Shoukang Palace.

"Your son greets you, Queen Mother. May you be blessed with good health!" The two men walked into the hall. Although their manners were proper, the gleam in their eyes revealed their eagerness and joy.

Before Zheng Xiyan asked them to stand up, Xiao Shuyue could no longer hold back. She took a few steps and leapt to Zheng Xiyan's side. She put her arms around her neck, with a childlike innocent smile on her face. She said coquettishly, "Mother, you have been away for these days, and I missed you so much." After that, she deliberately rubbed Zheng Xiyan's face. The intimacy and dependence made all the palace people present smile knowingly.

Xiao Chengyi stood aside. Although he was not as direct as Xiao Shuyue, the warmth and longing in his eyes were no less. He had a faint smile on his face and watched the scene tenderly.

"Yes! How has mother been doing outside the palace these days?" Xiao Chengyi walked forward and asked eagerly.
