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

After staying in Shoukang Palace for about half an hour, Zheng Xiyan returned to Weiyang Palace.

Princess Xuanhua saw Helian Cheng off, and the two were reluctant to part. "I will just stay in the palace for a few days and will go back soon." Princess Xuanhua shook his hand. She knew he was reluctant to leave her, and she didn't want to be separated from him either.

"Well, then take care of yourself." Helian Cheng looked at her reluctantly, but since this was his mother's order, he couldn't object.

"I understand. You should go back quickly!" Princess Xuanhua said shyly, urging him to leave.

Helian Cheng said reluctantly: "Then I'm leaving."

"Ah."

in a few days

Weiyang Palace

Xu Chongyuan and Li Meiren came to pay their respects. They were chatting with Zheng Xiyan when Biluo hurried in, came to Zheng Xiyan, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, "Madam, there is movement in Yong'an Palace."

Xu Chongyuan and Li Meiren both looked confused, but did not ask any further questions.

Zheng Xiyan looked calm and nodded at her, "I understand."

"Yes!"

Xu Chongyuan and Lady Li were also very tactful. Xu Chongyuan stood up and said, "I think the Queen is busy with palace affairs, so Lady Li and I will return to the palace first."

"Kneel down and pay your respects!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

The two men bowed to her and then left Weiyang Palace.

After the two left, Zheng Xiyan asked, "Has the child been taken into the palace?"

"We are already in Yong'an Palace now." Biluo reported.

"According to the time, Shen Zhaorong should give birth soon. What exactly do they want to do?" Zheng Xiyan was in deep thought. Xi Muyao would definitely send the princess born by Shen Aoning to the palace, but at this time, they brought the child from outside into the palace. Could it be that they wanted to...

Zheng Xiyan's face changed slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "Hurry up and order people to keep a close eye on Yong'an Palace. I'm afraid they want to secretly give birth to the child and secretly send it out of the palace."

"Yes! I will arrange it right away."

After Xu Chongyuan and Li Meiren left, they returned to Minghua Palace together.

"I saw Biluo looked a little nervous just now. Could something have happened?" Xu Chongyuan said.

Li Meiren also noticed it and agreed, "It is indeed a bit strange, but what could happen?"

"Maybe it is related to Yong'an Palace." Xu Chongyuan looked in the direction of Yong'an Palace with a subtle look.

"What do you mean, sister?" Li Meiren was a little slow.

Xu Chongyuan said meaningfully, "Ever since the Concubine Chen gave birth to twins, I always felt something was wrong. How could she give birth to twins? I didn't see her belly was bigger than that of an ordinary woman before. Besides, the Third Prince and the Second Princess, one weighed 6.8 jin and the other 6 jin. She's pregnant with two, which adds up to 12.8 jin. How big is her belly?"

"Don't you find it strange?" Xu Chongyuan had suspected it very early. When she was young, she was sent to a farm for recuperation because of her poor health. She had seen women pregnant with twins. Their bellies were much bigger than those pregnant with one baby. Moreover, twins were born with insufficient fetuses and were very weak. They would never be as big as the babies born from the first pregnancy, like the twin children of Concubine Chen.

Lady Li recalled that day in Yong'an Palace, "The Queen said that day that the Third Prince and the Second Princess weighed the same as the Crown Prince when they were just born."

"That's right, but at that time, everyone focused their attention on His Majesty, and no one cared at all." Xu Chongyuan became more and more certain of her guess.

"Sister, you are right. Twins are indeed smaller than normal children when they are born, but the size of the third prince and the second princess is the same as that of normal children. This is really too strange." Lady Li also guessed that Concubine Chen had deceived His Majesty and actually...

"Sister, I am sure that the Concubine Chen is definitely not pregnant with twins." Xu Chongyuan lowered her voice and said firmly.

Lady Li quickly grabbed her arm and whispered, "Sister, be careful with your words."

"If it's not twins, then she can only be pregnant with a princess."

"Sister!" Lady Li looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It must be like this." Xu Chongyuan was very sure.

"Sister! Let's go back to the palace first."

When they returned to Minghua Palace, Xu Chongyuan expected something, "The Queen must have known something, it must be like this."

"Sister, we just need to stand by and watch this matter. With the Queen here, she will definitely not wrongly accuse a good person." Lady Li felt that they must not interfere in such matters, so as not to get into trouble.

Xu Chongyuan has always held a grudge against Shen Aoning. The dispute between her and Murong Yue was caused by her instigation. She has never forgotten that Shen Aoning and Xi Muyao are in cahoots.

"I will expose her in front of His Majesty. She has confused the royal bloodline. His Majesty will definitely punish her severely." Xu Chongyuan didn't think so. She wanted to take revenge personally.

"Sister!" Lady Li pulled her back. "Sister, you are crazy. We don't have any evidence. His Majesty won't believe it."

"Why is there no evidence? The Queen must know something. Yes, I should go find the Queen. Go find the Queen."

Lady Li pulled her back and advised, "Sister, calm down. If the Queen really knows something, she will not sit still and wait for death. We just need to obey her orders."

"Sister, we must not interfere in this matter, so as not to bring trouble upon ourselves." Lady Li looked at her with a serious expression.

Xu Chongyuan calmed down and felt that what she said made sense. After all, this matter concerned the reputation of the royal family. Once it was spread out, it would be a disgrace to His Majesty.

That night, Shen Aoning felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. After being awakened by the pain, she shouted, "Someone come! Someone come quickly."

The palace maid came in quickly, "My queen, my queen, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm about to give birth. Go call my sister and ask the midwife to come over quickly!" Shen Aoning forced herself to calm down.

"Yes!"

When Xi Muyao heard the news, she hurried over from the main hall, "Ao Ning..."

"Sister..." Xi Muyao held her hand, "Don't be afraid, sister is here, nothing will happen."

Shen Aoning bit her lower lip. She didn't dare shout loudly for fear of being heard.

The two midwives had also rushed over. Xi Muyao stayed by her side and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Sister is here to watch over you. Listen to the midwives, don't be afraid."

A palace maid said, "My Lady Consort Chen, I will send someone to inform His Majesty and the Empress right away."

Xi Muyao yelled, “Come back!”

"Empress!" The palace maid was frightened and stood there not daring to move.

"Give the order. No one in the entire Yong'an Palace is allowed to leave. No one is allowed to alarm anyone. If anyone dares to disobey my order, I will never let him off easily." Xi Muyao's face showed a sinister expression, twisted and inhuman.

The little maid was frightened at once, "Yes, slave...slave obeys your command."
