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

Yong'an Palace

Xi Muyao learned that His Majesty did not return to the Zichen Hall but went to the Weiyang Palace, and she was furious in the palace.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The palace maids all knelt on the ground, trembling. Their queen has always been the most tolerant, and no one expected that she would be so angry today.

"Queen! I really underestimated your methods. You seemed to be indifferent, but you still managed to seduce His Majesty." Xi Muyao had always thought that Zheng Xiyan would not use such methods, but she didn't expect that she would actually...

After Shen Aoning heard about this, she hurried to Yong'an Palace and happened to see her losing her temper.

The palace maid came to her and begged, "Empress Zhaorong, please persuade our queen!"

Shen Aoning ordered: "All of you retreat!"

"Yes!"

Shen Aoning walked over and saved the porcelain bottle that was about to break. "Sister, what are you doing?"

When Xi Muyao saw that it was her, she calmed down and sat down.

Shen Aoning put the porcelain bottle back into the cabinet, came to sit next to her, and said, "Sister advised me to control my temper, why can't I control my temper now?"

Xi Muyao only discovered today that when she wants to lose her temper, she really can't control it, and no one can persuade her otherwise.

"Now I finally understand what it means to judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. The queen appears to be kind and generous on the surface, but she is just a two-faced person behind the scenes." Xi Muyao snorted coldly. No matter what kind of people they are, once they enter the palace, they are all the same. They all want to win the favor of His Majesty and use any means necessary.

"She is the queen. If she doesn't have any scheming and cunning, how can she sit firmly on the throne of queen?" Shen Aoning said in a deep voice.

"Now she has everything. She is the queen and gave birth to your majesty's eldest son. Why does she still want to compete with us for favor?" Xi Muyao said indignantly.

Shen Aoning comforted her, "Sister, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry about this."

"These days, His Majesty favors us two the most. In fact, you and I both know very well why." Shen Aoning reminded.

Shen Aoning also realized that the favor he showed these days was just an act.

At first, she thought that His Majesty had finally noticed her, and she thought that her days of honor and favor were coming, but what was the reality?

"Sister, do you want to gain His Majesty's true heart? In this palace, what does true heart mean? Pregnant with the heir of the dragon, this is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"Sister, wasn't you always sober before? What happened these days?" Shen Aoning grabbed her hand and shook her hard.

Xi Muyao certainly understood, but these days, perhaps because he acted too realistically, she was actually somewhat immersed in it. She even wanted to believe him, and that he was sincere to her.

"You're right, conceiving a dragon heir is the most important thing. As for sincerity? That's the most unimportant thing." Xi Muyao's eyes were cold and her expression gradually became distorted.

"Sister is right." Shen Aoning said in agreement.

"We have been in bed with each other these days and have taken a lot of pregnancy-preserving medicine. I hope that good news will come in the next few days." Shen Aoning stroked her belly and prayed in her heart.

"I hope so!" Xi Muyao looked forward to it.

On this day in the Zichen Palace, Xiao Xuanchen ordered someone to go to the Weiyang Palace to tell Zheng Xiyan to come to the Zichen Palace for lunch and have lunch with him.

Zheng Xiyan came to the Purple Palace in a phoenix carriage, and it happened that King Xiang had just come out of the Purple Palace.

The moment Zheng Xiyan saw him, her face suddenly changed and her heart couldn't help but become nervous, but the next second, she pretended to be calm.

Thinking back to what he said to me that day, I felt that one day he would do something bad to me.

Prince Xiang stepped forward and saluted, giving a meaningful look, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Queen."

"No need to be so polite, Prince Xiang." Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Queen." Prince Xiang raised his eyes and looked at her tenderly.

Zheng Xiyan noticed his gaze and quickly looked away.

When the King of Xiang saw her, he was very happy and asked, "Your Highness, are you here in the Purple Palace to accompany His Majesty for dinner?"

"That's right!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

The eunuch in front of the emperor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are here. His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in, Your Majesty!"

"it is good!"

A trace of desolation flashed across the eyes of the King, and he said in a deep voice: "I will take my leave."

Zheng Xiyan walked around him and then entered the Zichen Hall.

King Xiang turned around and looked at her back. He stood there for a while, but didn't want anyone to notice anything, so he left.

On the way out of the palace, he kept thinking, "Since you want to seize the throne, I will certainly lend you a helping hand. I can't seize the world, but I hope that the one who seizes the world will be your son."

After having lunch in the Zichen Hall, Zheng Xiyan left. On the way back to the Weiyang Palace, she sat on the phoenix carriage and recalled carefully what he had said to her on the night of Ji'er's hundred-day banquet: he would help her.

"If I have his help, it may be more beneficial to me. After all, he holds military power and has always been a thorn in Xiao Xuanchen's side."

"But if I get too involved with him, I'm afraid I'll be implicated if the truth comes out in the future."

"No! This matter needs further consideration!" Zheng Xiyan thought calmly.

Returning to Weiyang Palace, Zheng Xiyan saw her son sleeping in the cradle and murmured, "Mother will definitely take this world and send it to you."

"It's just that mother's power is too weak now, and she is no match for your father. But there is no rush now. Take it slow. One day, mother will be stronger than him." Zheng Xiyan looked at her son with loving eyes.

A few days later, Murong Yue was out of confinement, and that day was also the day when all the palaces came to Weiyang Palace to pay their respects.

The concubines from all palaces gathered in Weiyang Palace. Zheng Xiyan had not woken up yet. Everyone walked into Weiyang Palace and stood outside the palace waiting.

Shen Chongyuan was very low-key. Even when she was pregnant with the emperor's heir, she never made a fuss about it. She always kept to herself and never went out.

On the contrary, Concubine Xu has been taking advantage of her favor since she became pregnant. She says she is not feeling well every now and then, and then sends people to invite His Majesty.

Concubine Xu walked up to Shen Chongyuan and asked, "Sister Shen, how is your appetite these days? I have been vomiting these days, I have no appetite at all, and I can't sleep well, but I still have to force myself to eat. I can't let the prince in my stomach starve."

Shen Chongyuan looked at her as if she were a fool. This person really wanted to create chaos in the world.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Aoning mocked her, "You haven't even shown your pregnancy yet, how do you know you're carrying a prince? You're really amazing."

"Empress Zhaorong, the imperial physician said that this baby of mine is most likely a prince." Concubine Xu looked smug and stroked her belly in a pretentious manner, which was too ostentatious.
