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

When Chu Tingyu and Li Jingwan, along with the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and other yamen runners, rushed to Yuanshanju on the back mountain of Zhaoyun Temple, they saw Cheng Deying standing at the gate.

Some of the imperial guards who accompanied Chu Yin were guarding the door.

Upon seeing Chu Tingyu, Cheng Deying breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to greet him, "Your servant greets the prince and princess."

"Eunuch Cheng, why are you standing outside?" Chu Tingyu asked.

"The Queen Mother said that she and Your Majesty will dine alone, so I don't need to go in to serve. Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, Your Majesty will listen to her." Cheng Deying lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, she has been in for a long time."

"Did you see it clearly?" Chu Tingyu asked for confirmation.

Cheng Deying nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if I am wrong, I don't want this pair of eyes anymore."

Chu Tingyu raised his voice and said to a member of the Imperial Guards next to him, "This king and the Junior Official of the Dali Temple are trying to capture the suspect Song Qingyan. Someone saw her escape into Yuanshanju. We are going in to search her now."

The imperial guards did not dare to neglect it, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will notify Lord Chi immediately."

The chief commander of the Imperial Guards, Chi Yanshi, was guarding inside with other Imperial Guards. Upon hearing the news, he came out immediately and checked the arrest warrant issued by the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

He looked hesitant, "Your Majesty, the entire Yuanshan Residence is guarded by the Royal Guards, no one should be able to enter."

"She sneaked in before you arrived." Chu Tingyu said seriously, "Not only did she want to assassinate the princess, but she has already killed someone. She is very dangerous and must be searched quickly."

"Besides, the Emperor and the Queen Mother are both inside. We cannot delay any longer."

Chi Yanshi knew that Chu Tingyu was a steady person and would never say that unless he was sure. Moreover, he was the prince that Chu Yin trusted the most, so she did not dare to stop him and stepped aside.

"Your Majesty, please."

After entering the gate, when Chu Tingyu was about to ask where Chu Yin was, Empress Dowager Xiao came out with the nanny and stood in front of him.

"Grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." Chu Tingyu immediately knelt down and saluted, and the people around him followed closely.

Li Jingwan also said, "See the Queen Mother."

"Are you Princess Leyi Li Jingwan?" asked Empress Dowager Xiao.

The woman who can be with Chu Tingyu must be Li Jingwan, whom Chu Yin ordered to marry some time ago.

Li Jingwan nodded, "It is indeed me. The Queen Mother returned to the capital, but I have not had the chance to pay my respects to her yet."

"Everyone, get up." Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and looked at Chu Tingyu, "Yu'er, you brought so many people to celebrate my birthday?"

Chu Tingyu said, "Grandson congratulates the Royal Grandmother on her birthday, but the reason why I came here now is to capture the fugitive Song Qingyan."

Empress Dowager Xiao's heart moved slightly, "Who?"

"She was the second prince's wife, Song Qingyan." Chu Tingyu knew that Empress Dowager Xiao was deliberately delaying time, so he asked the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple to come forward and speak.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple handed over the arrest warrant with both hands.

"Queen Mother, we have found out that Song Qingyan colluded with the assassin organization Wutou and sent assassins to assassinate Princess Le Yi in Tacheng. She has also killed the former wife of Wu'an Marquis Lin."

"The Dali Temple is arresting her according to the law. Song Qingyan used the excuse of coming to Zhaoyun Temple to burn incense today in an attempt to escape. Some pilgrims have already seen her sneaking into Yuanshanju."

"In order to capture the wanted criminal and for the safety of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, please allow me to lead a search of Yuanshanju."

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at the contents of the arrest and was somewhat surprised.

She didn't expect Song Qingyan to be so bold as to commit the crime of murder.

No wonder Song Qingyan rejected her proposal yesterday but agreed today. She must have known that the matter was exposed.

But she had already chosen Song Qingyan and sent her to Chu Yin.

Even if she killed someone, we can only cover it up now.

"Yuanshanju has always been guarded. It is impossible for a woman like her to escape in." Empress Dowager Xiao explicitly refused, "Song Qingyan is not here. Go look for her somewhere else."

"Grandmother, someone saw her come in." Chu Tingyu said, "Please be flexible just in case."

Empress Dowager Xiao's face darkened slightly, "Yu'er, I said no, then no. I won't allow it, do you still want to force your way in?"

"Grandmother, my father is living in the distant mountains. His safety is the most important thing. I must eliminate any danger."

Empress Dowager Xiao said coldly, "I am the emperor's biological mother. Could I possibly harm him?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li Jingwan was anxious. It was obvious that Empress Dowager Xiao was hiding something, but could she really force her way in?

At this moment, a heavy voice broke the silence.

Then, a woman's scream was heard.

Chu Tingyu's face changed, and he walked straight past Empress Dowager Xiao and headed towards the source of the sound, with the others following closely behind him.

"Stop!" Empress Dowager Xiao said angrily.

But no one listened to her. The emperor's safety was the most important thing.

She followed uneasily.

Chu Tingyu rushed into the room first and saw a screen lying on the ground, and Song Qingyan was lying beside the screen with her face covered.

Chu Yin's eyes were red, his breathing was rapid, and he was full of anger.

"Father!" Chu Tingyu hurried forward, "Father, are you okay?"

Seeing him, Chu Yin put away some of his anger, "Yuer, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty." Li Jingwan also stepped forward and briefly explained, "The prince and I followed the Dali Temple to arrest Song Qingyan. She has committed the crime of murder."

Song Qingyan was so scared that her whole body was shaking, and she quickly denied, "No, I didn't kill anyone."

Chu Yin stared at her, then turned his gaze to the Empress Dowager Xiao who walked in, and said in a cold voice, "Mother, is this the gift you prepared for me?"

Empress Dowager Xiao did not answer. She glanced at Song Qingyan, who was shaking like a sieve, and cursed her in her heart, "Idiot," and said, "Take her away."

"Wait." Chu Yin stopped him, "Prince Jing, Princess Le Yi stay, the others go out first."

Soon, there were only five of them left in the room.

Chu Yin suddenly laughed, but there was a storm in his eyes, "My mother is really thoughtful. She killed the real Yunniang and found someone to impersonate her."

Li Jingwan widened her eyes slightly. Could this be the source of the conflict between Chu Yin and his mother?

"Your Majesty, I didn't kill her." Empress Dowager Xiao refused to admit it. "She chose to drink the poison herself."

"Mother, you didn't kill her, but you forced her to death." A sneer flashed across Chu Yin's eyes as he exposed her mercilessly.

"You asked her to choose between joining you or drinking the poisoned wine. Do you think I don't know?"

"I knew it a long time ago!" Chu Yin roared, no longer as calm and composed as usual.

At this moment, he was just a person who was deceived and hurt by his biological mother, not an emperor who was high above everyone else.

"You want to control me forever and force her to become a chess piece placed beside me, but Yunniang doesn't want to. She is loyal to me. She would rather die than betray me!"
