On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent

Xiao Yinnan learned about his life experience from his mother, and now he comes to seek revenge. The queen has no complaints.

But she was worried because she didn't see Prince Yan return safely.

The Queen took Concubine Xian's hand and said, "Sister, you are obviously the elder sister, but you usually act like my younger sister. You even have to compromise yourself for me and you can't even recognize your own son. Sister, you have suffered."

The virtuous concubine smiled and shook her head: "Where did you go when you were a child? We are family. You protected me back then, and now it's my turn to protect you."

The queen's eyes were red, and she leaned on the virtuous concubine's shoulder and cried silently.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

A high-pitched voice broke the silence in the hall, and the queen quickly wiped away her tears and stood up.

Emperor Jianning's face looked bad, but it finally eased a little when he saw Concubine Xian.

Emperor Jianning said as usual: "I have something to say to the Queen, Concubine Xian, please go back first."

The virtuous concubine bowed, turned around and walked out of the hall, but she didn't leave because she was worried.

The queen in the hall quickly asked the palace maids around her to serve tea.

Emperor Jianning slowly sat down and remained silent for a long time. The Empress asked, "Your Majesty, is there something you need today?"

Emperor Jianning did not answer, but asked: "Back then, I gave up your child for the child of Concubine Xian. Do you blame me?"

The Queen was startled, then lowered her eyes and said, "I dare not."

"Don't dare?" Emperor Jianning chuckled, "Then it seems you are blaming me."

"Queen, I've made you the Queen for so many years, isn't that enough? Your son has become the Crown Prince, what more do you want?"

The queen raised her eyes, which were originally as calm as a dry well, now filled with coldness.

"Queen? Crown Prince? Your Majesty, do I have a choice?"

If there were a choice, who would be willing to be the queen? Who would be willing to enter the palace?

If possible, she would like to stay away from it.

Emperor Jianning talked about the past: "Back then, it was not me who killed Chen'er, it was the Crown Prince who did it."

Is there a difference?

"I know that you have been lukewarm towards Prince Yan for so many years, and you have a knot in your heart. If it weren't for making room for Prince Yan, Chen'er wouldn't have to die."

The Queen turned her head and looked away: "Your Majesty, you killed my son, and you asked me to help you raise someone else's son. I didn't torture him, which was already a mercy."

Emperor Jianning sighed. That was Concubine Xian's child, and he didn't want to wrong her. But at that time, the child couldn't be without an identity, so he thought of this solution.

Let Prince Yan replace the Queen's youngest son.

The compensation that Emperor Jianning gave to the empress was that her eldest son could become the crown prince, and as long as he did not commit any serious mistakes, he would not be deposed.

The queen naturally disagreed, but her youngest son died the next day.

Qi Junmo, knife in hand, stood in front of his brother's body, covered in blood. Seeing Emperor Jianning walk in, he grinned strangely: "Father, I have killed my brother. The position of Crown Prince is now mine, right?"

Emperor Jianning originally wanted to send the queen's youngest son out of the palace, but the prince found out about it and took action first.

The Queen and Consort Xian immediately knew that this eldest son was the one who looked most like His Majesty.

From then on, the queen stayed indoors and did not go out. Her health was much worse than before, and she gradually stopped caring about the affairs of the palace.

From then on, he became estranged from the prince.

Qi Junmo did become the crown prince, but a few years after entering the Eastern Palace, he accidentally broke both legs while going out and never stood up again.

The Prince of Yan was raised as the Empress's youngest son and was favored by Emperor Jianning. He was envied by many of his brothers since he was a child.

The Queen's attitude towards Prince Yan became cold from then on, and even the Queen Mother disliked Prince Yan very much.

But this result was what Emperor Jianning wanted.

If you want to throw someone down hard, you must first hold them up high, so that you can smash them to pieces and make them unable to stand up again.

When the time is right, the King of Yan will fall down naturally without him having to do anything himself.

So what if he doted on him when he was little? After all, the Prince of Yan...wasn't his son.

He promised Concubine Xian that he would treat the child well, but he was the king of a country, how could he allow someone else's child to be raised in the palace?

Since he couldn't do it himself, he let someone else deal with King Yan.

The Crown Prince hated the Prince of Yan, and the Prince of Jin also disliked him very much.

Xiao Yinnan had a grudge in his heart, but he actually fell in love with the same person as King Yan. It was really a pleasant surprise.

Although the King of Jin did not play a big role, as long as there was one more person in this world who hated the King of Yan, it would be difficult for the King of Yan to turn things around.

Emperor Jianning couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Only when Prince Yan died could he be completely relieved.

"So this incident was also done by the Queen?"

The queen paused and said nothing, but her palms were already sweating.

"I never meddle in other people's affairs. I wonder what your majesty is talking about?"

Emperor Jianning looked at the empress's indifferent expression and did not ask any further questions. He didn't know whether she believed it or not. He held the teacup and said something unknown.

The Queen pinched her forehead and said slowly, "I am tired. If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, please leave."

Emperor Jianning's eyes flickered slightly, and his lips formed a displeased curve.

"Wanyun."

This was the second time in all these years that Emperor Jianning called the Queen's name. Unfortunately, it was not her name.

"Your Majesty, please leave. We have lived in peace for so many years. I hope it will be the same this time."

Some things are known to everyone, and she doesn't want to say more, also considering the face of the royal family.

There was also a queen mother, and she didn't want to make her sad.

The Queen sneered, "Your Majesty, my Su family has been destroyed, isn't that enough? Do you still want to kill me? If Your Majesty wants my life, you can just say so directly. There's no need to test me like this."

Although Emperor Jianning did not like the empress, the empress's son was also his son, and he was sad when he died.

In this matter, he was the one who let her down.

"You better take a rest. I'm leaving first."

The virtuous concubine was waiting outside, and when she saw someone come out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without even having time to salute, he immediately went into the inner hall to see the queen.

Emperor Jianning gave a bitter laugh and asked the eunuch Feng beside him, "Does this disgust her?"

How could Eunuch Feng dare to speak? This virtuous concubine has been like this since she entered the palace, and he dared not say anything.

When the queen saw the man come in, she immediately said, "He is suspicious."

The virtuous concubine made up her mind: "If he wants to investigate, I can just step in."

The queen burst into tears and said, "Sister, I am sorry for you."

The virtuous concubine patted her hand and comforted her, "What are you talking about? Didn't we agree on this? There's nothing to be sorry about. It's not your fault."

The virtuous concubine understood everything.

People outside just thought that the queen was in poor health and rarely appeared in public, but in fact, it was she who was in poor health.

It's ridiculous that Qi Yan likes Wan Qing. They have exchanged identities as sisters for so many years, but he can't even recognize his beloved.

The two sisters look alike, so they can deceive outsiders by just putting on some disguises.

They used to do this often in the past. For twenty years, they actually kept it a secret from Qi Yan.

She is the queen.
