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

"Yong'an, don't be anxious. Calm down and listen to what the Empress Dowager says." Princess Changle spoke softly and gently helped Princess Yong'an up from the cold ground.

Princess Yong'an's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

Lu Lingyuan gently patted the back of Princess Yong'an's hand to comfort her, and said gently but firmly: "Yong'an, although Qingping has been removed from the imperial family's jade book and Tangmu County has been taken back, His Majesty has remembered their old friendship and specially granted her a fine mansion in Shangjing City. She will still enjoy the honor of a county lady every month, and she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

Princess Yong'an's face froze slightly when she heard this, and then ripples appeared on her face. She tightly grasped Lu Lingyuan's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Sister-in-law, is what you said absolutely true?"

"Of course!" Lu Lingyuan said firmly.

Princess Changle felt mixed emotions when she saw this. She bit her lips lightly, frowned slightly, and expressed her worry: "But Qingping's personality, can she... can she accept it?"

"Even if you can't accept it, you have to accept it. You have to pay the price for what you do in life." A deep sigh appeared on Lu Lingyuan's face. She sighed softly and then said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Then...where is Sister Qingping now?" There was a hint of anxiety in Princess Yong'an's voice. She couldn't wait to see her.

"Your Majesty has sent the person to the Zongzheng Mansion for temporary settlement." Lu Lingyuan said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Princess Yong'an bowed hastily upon hearing this. As she turned around, her skirt brushed the ground lightly, creating a slight ripple. Her figure quickly disappeared outside the door, leaving behind only a series of hurried and firm footsteps.

"Hey~" Princess Changle called softly, with a flash of embarrassment and helplessness on her face. Her eyes drooped slightly, and she flashed with a guilty light, "Don't blame me, sister-in-law. Yong'an has had the best relationship with Qingping since childhood, so it's inevitable that I'm a little anxious at this moment."

Lu Lingyuan shook her head slightly, a gentle arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was filled with understanding and tolerance: "Of course I know, how can I blame her. The deep love between sisters is also rare."

"On behalf of Yongan, I, your sister, would like to thank the Empress for her magnanimity." Princess Changle bowed slightly.

"Okay, no need to be so polite." Lu Lingyuan raised her arm slightly, her voice full of tenderness and kindness.

"Where is my mother? I haven't been to the palace to pay my respects to her for some time." Princess Changle suddenly changed the subject. Over the years, she has always been grateful to her mother. After getting married, she often went to the palace to pay her respects, and always remembered to bring some novel little gadgets to honor her mother.

"Mother has been a little upset these days and is resting in the bedroom. Please pay your respects next time you enter the palace!" Lu Lingyuan said directly.

Princess Changle had no choice but to give up after hearing this. "Yes, I will listen to the Emperor's sister-in-law. Then I will leave the palace first."

"Well, go back early and be careful on the road." Lu Lingyuan nodded slightly, her eyes full of concern and warning.

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Princess Changle bowed again, turned around and left, her figure gradually disappearing outside the palace gate.

……

A month later, Princess Qingping finally moved to the house prepared for her by Xiao Chengji.

This house is located in a bustling street, yet it is quiet and peaceful.

Princess Yong'an sent people to help clean the house inside and out, and selected a group of smart and capable people from her own princess mansion to take care of Princess Qingping.

She supported Princess Qingping and walked slowly into the house. Along the way, Princess Yongan racked her brains to comfort her: "Sister, this house is decorated according to your preferences. Take a look. Are you satisfied?"

Princess Qingping glanced at everything around her, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She nodded slightly, her voice weak and low: "Well, not bad."

"If you are not satisfied, I will ask someone to change it until you are satisfied!" Princess Yong'an said hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Sister, why don't you speak?" Princess Yong'an held her hands tightly, with panic and anxiety flashing in her eyes.

"Sister, you still have me. In this world, you still have a sister like me!" Princess Yong'an spoke with tears in her voice. Tears welled up in her eyes and finally couldn't help but slide down, dripping onto the back of Princess Qingping's hand, splashing circles of tiny ripples.

Princess Qingping's originally calm face finally showed a subtle change under Princess Yong'an's insistence. She slowly said, "Yong'an, don't worry about me, I'm really fine."

"Sister..." Princess Yong'an's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string when she heard this, and she choked with sobs.

Princess Qingping gently patted the back of Princess Yong'an's hand, walked into the courtyard, raised her eyes slightly and looked into the distance, with a look of relief and deep meaning. She turned around, looked at Princess Yong'an meaningfully, and slowly said: "In fact, I already knew that Li Jichuan had a mistress outside." Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Sister, you...you knew it a long time ago?" A look of disbelief and surprise flashed across Princess Yong'an's face, and her eyes widened.

Princess Qingping nodded gently, her face still calm: "Yes, I knew it all along. Their every move was under my eyes."
