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

There was silence in the study for a while before Chu Tingjue said, "Chu Tingyu has no shortage of doctors."

Jiang Micheng said, "It can only delay her death. She will not live long."

These words reduced Chu Tingjue's anger a little, but his voice was still full of anxiety.

"The two chess pieces I finally planted were both removed by Chu Tingyu. Do you want me to watch him return to the capital victoriously?"

"Tell me, what else can I do? He has wrapped the tower city like an iron barrel, how can I reach in?"

This time, Jiang Micheng hesitated, and after a while he said, "I think it is best to...keep the troops in place..."

"What?!" Chu Tingjue said angrily, "You also think that I will definitely lose?"

"I have absolutely no such idea." Jiang Micheng explained quickly.

"Your Highness, I just think that although Wen Da was punished and Qin Lingyun was arrested, it will not implicate Your Highness, but it will also arouse Chu Tingyu's suspicion."

"So, don't act rashly now." Jiang Micheng lowered his voice a little, "Your Majesty, as long as the emperor doesn't appoint a crown prince, you have a chance."

"Moreover, even if Chu Tingyu pacifies the northwest, it is a long journey from Tacheng back to the capital, and anything could happen. Qi Yuan's second son is the county magistrate in Li County, and Li County is the only way back to the capital..."

"You mean..." Chu Tingjue paused for a moment, "Okay..."

Both of them lowered their voices a lot. Song Qingyan was afraid of being discovered, so she quickly left quietly.

Her heart was still beating fast until she returned to her own yard.

She called Lian Ye, closed the door, and whispered to her to do something.

After hearing this, Lian Ye's eyes widened, "Miss, who is this for?"

"Myself."

Lian Ye was even more surprised, "Miss, this thing has an impact on your body, you..."

Song Qingyan raised her hand, motioning her not to say anything, "Just do as I say, don't ask any more questions."

"Yes." Lian Ye agreed, and just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by Song Qingyan again.

She picked out some jewelry from the makeup box on the dressing table and handed them to Lian Ye.

"Take two more pieces of Shu brocade from the warehouse and send them to Qi Xinyou together with these. Tell her that there will be a flower-viewing banquet held at the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion the day after tomorrow and ask her to go with me."

After Lian Ye left, she was still upset.

On the one hand, it was because he overheard Chu Tingjue's plan.

On the other hand, she became more and more worried that Chu Tingyu might really become the emperor in this life, so she had to start to cut ties with Chu Tingjue.

Fortunately, she was not pregnant yet, so she asked Lian Ye to prepare contraceptive soup.

In this way, even if Prince Ning falls, she will at least be less involved with him and have a chance to get away with it.

Of course, the key to retreat lies in Qi Xinyuo.

-

Among all the flower-viewing banquets in the capital, the one that attracts the most attention is naturally the one held in the Princess's Mansion, but it is only for unmarried women.

There are no requirements for the flower-viewing banquets held by other noble families. They are mainly used to invite female relatives to get together and keep in touch with each other.

When Song Qingyan and Qi Xinyu walked into the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, everyone hurriedly bowed and greeted her.

She took the hand of the wife of the Marquis Xuanping in a very kind manner and said, "Madam, you are too polite. I am also a guest today, and I should follow the host's wishes."

Although Prince Ning was currently at a disadvantage, she was also a relative of Prince Jing, so the Xuanping Marquisate did not dare to neglect her and quickly invited her to take a seat.

Song Qingyan glanced at the crowd, then turned to look at Qi Xinyuo, who had been ignored since she came in.

"Xinyou, I see your sister-in-law and younger sister are here. You don't have to accompany me. Go and talk to them."

Qi Xinyou didn't want to go, but had to obey, "Yes, thank you, Princess, for considering me."

However, even if Song Qingyan did not remind her, as a member of the Qi family, she had to go and say hello and face her mean sister-in-law and sister.

Liu was Qi Lingjun's first wife. She usually had a bad temper, especially after Qi Lingjun was dismissed and became a white queen, she became even more disgusted with Qi Xinyou. When she saw Qi Xinyou coming, she just stood up and walked out.

Qi Xinyu held her breath and chased after him, thinking about just saying something and leaving.

Liu stopped in a place with few people and saw the fire in her eyes and her unfriendly tone.

"Why are you following me? The Xuanping Marquis's Mansion is so big, and you have to be so annoying and get close to me. It's bad luck!"

Qi Xinting, the youngest daughter of the Qi family, was born out of wedlock and had always been at odds with Qi Xinyuo. She snorted at this moment.

Qi Xinyou used to have a bad temper, but after entering Prince Ning's mansion, she restrained herself a lot. She said coldly, "The princess asked me to come over and say hello."

"No need." Liu looked at her with disgust. She was so angry when she thought of her husband who was unemployed at home, and her voice was sarcastic.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Qi family, but you married to be a concubine. It is a disgrace to the family. From now on, when we meet, we will pretend that we don't know each other."

Qi Xinting was usually looked down upon by Qi Xinyuo because she was born out of wedlock, so she naturally would not miss this opportunity to make some sarcastic remarks to her.

"My eldest sister likes to be proud of being a legitimate daughter. I thought I could marry into a noble family and become the mistress, but she is willing to be a concubine. I really didn't expect it."

"Sister, although I can only marry the son of the Minister of Rites as his legal wife, at least I can enter through the main gate."

"Qi Xinting, you..." Qi Xinyuo felt hurt and felt even more unwilling.

Why can Qi Xinting, a concubine's daughter, be the legal wife, while I, a legitimate daughter, have to be a concubine?

Qi Xinting's eyes were full of sarcasm. She deliberately took Liu's arm and said affectionately, "Sister-in-law, it's because you and brother love me that you picked a good family for me."

"Of course I love you." Liu patted her arm, but spoke to Qi Xinyuo.

"Your eldest brother has a clear distinction between love and hate. Anyone who harms him will have no chance of getting away with it. Even if she is the eldest daughter, he can still make her a concubine."

Qi Xinyou was shocked, "What do you mean?"

Liu raised her chin, "It was your eldest brother who suggested that you become a concubine. He wants to inherit the Qi family, so the old man will naturally listen."

Qi Xinyuo always thought that Qi Yuan forced her to go to Prince Ning's Mansion in order to win over Chu Tingjue, but she didn't expect that it was Qi Lingjun who made it happen.

Qi Xinting followed suit and flattered him, "Big brother is the head of the family now, and Dad has to discuss everything with big brother."

Qi Xinyuo's eyes were red.

She has always felt guilty for indirectly causing Qi Lingjun to lose his official position, so she was willing to take the risk to do things for them on the day of the Wanshou Festival and designed to make He Bingshu fall into the water.

As a result, Qi Lingjun, who was her half-sister, was still dissatisfied, and to vent his anger he even made his own sister a concubine.

She clenched her handkerchief in anger and gritted her teeth, "Qi Lingjun is incompetent. He was dismissed from his post, so I am more responsible. But he puts all the blame on me."

Liu was stunned, then pointed at her and cursed, "Qi Xinyu, you are rebelling. If you don't kneel down and apologize today, I will tell your eldest brother when I go back and let him..."

Another voice took over the conversation, "What do you want him to do?"
