She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

"Yu'er, have you forgotten? Today is the Queen Mother's birthday." Concubine Zhong explained.

"The Queen Mother doesn't hold a birthday banquet, so I send people to deliver gifts every year. This year I'm sending yours as well."

She knew that Chu Tingyu never worried about these things, so she usually helped him deal with them. With Li Jingwan managing the palace in the future, she would feel relieved.

Li Jingwan had heard about Empress Dowager Xiao's affairs, and heard that there was a rift between her and Chu Yin.

Not long after Chu Yin ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Xiao moved out of the palace and lived in another palace. The relationship between mother and son was very weak.

Concubine Zhong continued, "The Queen Mother is now living in Zhaoyun Temple, and your father will go to visit her today. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so I didn't go with them to avoid disturbing their reunion."

She also didn't know what caused the conflict between Chu Yin and Empress Dowager Xiao. The few times she saw them together, they were always cold to each other.

It would be awkward for her to be there, so it would be better if she didn't go.

At this time, the palace maid brought some snacks, and Concubine Zhong said, "Have a try of this sour plum cake, it's the perfect dish for today..."

Chu Tingyu interrupted her, "Mother, Jingwan and I came here today because we have something very important to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Concubine Zhong saw that he looked serious and her tone became worried. "Is it related to you?"

"No." Chu Tingyu shook his head.

She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Chu Tingyu said, "It's related to Jingwan, and it's also related to my aunt."

Concubine Zhong was angry again and looked at Li Jingwan in surprise, "Jingwan, what's going on?"

Li Jingwan said, "My Lady, what we are going to tell you next is absolutely true. I hope you can help us."

Qin Chongxiao, who was standing outside the palace, couldn't hear what they were saying, but when he looked up, he saw that Concubine Zhong's face became confused, shocked and angry.

-

Song House.

After returning home, Zhao Yunying went to Zhong's yard first, but saw that Zhong had changed into a very formal dress, which she usually wore when entering the palace.

Zhao Yunying asked doubtfully, "Mother, are you going to the palace?"

"Yunying is back." Zhong said with a smile, "Yes, you should also change your clothes and come with me to the palace."

"Now?" Zhao Yunying asked.

On weekdays, people usually go to the palace in the morning. Now it is already past noon, so it is a bit late to go into the palace.

"The Imperial Concubine has just sent someone to announce it." The maid was helping Zhong to fix her hair. She waved for Zhao Yunying to come over. "It's about Yan'er."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yunying asked curiously.

"You were not at home yesterday, and the Imperial Concubine and Prince Jing came to visit me. I mentioned Yan'er to her, and she said she would help Yan'er find a good family. As a result, she just sent someone to notify us to go to the palace to discuss it."

"The Imperial Concubine is so thoughtful." Zhao Yunying was very happy after hearing this and finally felt relieved.

She was also worried about Song Qingyan's marriage. Although it was a divorce, it would not be good for her reputation.

With Concubine Zhong acting as the go-between, the chosen family will definitely treat their daughter well.

Zhao Yunying smiled and said, "When Yan'er comes back, I will tell her the good news."

"Yan'er went out?" Mrs. Zhong was curious. "She came back from Zhaoyun Temple yesterday. I saw that she looked unwell, so I asked her to rest in the mansion for the next two days."

"I just came from Yan'er's house. The maid said she went to Zhaoyun Temple and has not finished copying a scroll of scriptures. She will be able to present it at the Dharma Assembly in two days."

"Yan'er is much calmer than before." Mrs. Zhong nodded, "Sure enough, she has experienced things and grown up."

-

The mother and daughter entered the Yikun Palace, and a palace maid stepped forward and said, "The queen is in the side hall, please follow me."

When entering the side hall, Zhao Yunying saw a man who was not dressed as a palace guard standing at the door of the side hall.

The man lowered his head, so she couldn't see his face clearly. She just glanced at him and helped Zhong go in.

After they passed by, Qin Chongxiao raised his head slightly and looked at Zhong's back.

After entering the hall, Zhao Yunying saw Li Jingwan was also there. She felt a little surprised and a little nervous.

After all, he had done that to Li Jingwan, and he felt guilty every time they met.

Li Jingwan smiled when she saw her, "Madam, we just separated this morning, and now we meet again."

For some reason, Zhao Yunying felt that her smile made her nervous, so she forced a smile and said, "Yes, Princess, we meet again."

She turned and saluted Concubine Zhong.

Concubine Zhong's voice was not as enthusiastic as usual, and she said calmly, "Get up."

Zhao Yunying was even more nervous. Were they really asked to discuss Song Qingyan's marriage?

Mrs. Zhong didn't notice anything unusual and smiled, "Sister, I'm sure you have chosen an excellent family for Yan'er, so let's discuss it today."

Concubine Zhong smiled slightly, "You are my biological sister, so I will naturally take special care of your grandchildren, but..."

She paused, "If someone else is trying to take advantage of the situation and replace the crown prince, I will not make wedding clothes for them."

Mrs. Zhong was puzzled. "Sister, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Yunying beside her understood what she heard, and her face immediately changed, turning pale.

Zhao Yunying widened her eyes in horror, glanced at Concubine Zhong, then quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding like thunder.

Concubine Zhong took in her reaction and confirmed that the shocking things Li Jingwan had told her were indeed true, and hatred appeared in her eyes.

"Zhao Yunying, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Zhao Yunying was trembling slightly all over and was too scared to speak.

She thought that the secret of her life experience had been unknown with the death of Lin and the eradication of Wutou, but why did Concubine Zhong know it?

She turned her head suddenly and looked at Li Jingwan.

is her!

Li Jingwan met her gaze without avoiding it, and the enthusiasm in her eyes that she had when she saw her off at the hot spring villa today was no longer there.

Just coldness.

Zhong found out that something was wrong with her, "Yunying, what's wrong with you?"

Then he looked at Concubine Zhong, "Sister, what's going on? What are you talking about?"

"You will know soon." Concubine Zhong did not answer, but ordered the maid next to her, "Close the door."

The side hall door was quickly closed, and Zhong was even more confused, "Sister, what are you doing..."

Concubine Zhong raised her right hand, signaling her not to speak.

She said to Zhao Yunying, "Zhao Yunying, there are only women in the hall. Pull down your right shirt and expose your collarbone."

This sentence hit Zhao Yunying hard on the head like a club. She was terrified and kept shaking her head, "No, no..."

"If you don't have something to hide, just pull it down."

"No..." She put her hand over her right clavicle and still refused, "No, don't..."

Mrs. Zhong was anxious, "Sister, why are you doing this? Why do you want Yunying to do this?"

Zhao Yunying was like a drowning person. She suddenly grabbed hold of something and quickly hid behind Zhong. "Mom, mom, please help me. I can't take it off. I can't..."

Concubine Zhong's patience ran out. She pointed at Zhao Yunying and angrily said, "Zhao Yunying, do you have the nerve to call her 'mother'? You are not her biological daughter at all!"
