Chi Yu followed the evidence written down by the empress dowager and traced back to the real person, and arrested most of the people in the court who were involved in the incident.
As Tang Wan said, he is actually a kind and honest person who doesn't hold grudges.
But he cares about Xiao Ai. They can hurt him, but they cannot hurt his relatives, let alone his lover.
He didn't dare to think about what would have happened if Tang Wan had not made preparations in advance that day.
What would have happened if he had arrived a step later that day and the Queen Mother had not killed Marquis Wu'an?
"Aunt, do you regret it?" His pair of black and white eyes looked at her like a deep ancient well, making people inexplicably feel a little fear.
Chen Pingting spat at him: "Bah, I don't regret it. You and your mother are both as mean as a bitch."
Chi Yu looked at her in confusion: "Is she not good to you? Why do you say that to her?" Chen Zhaoyi was obviously so good to the woman in front of him that he wanted to give her his heart.
But what about her? How did she repay him?
Chen Pingting's eyes were filled with burning hatred: "Don't think I don't know what she's up to. Isn't it just that she's from a higher family and likes to show off in front of me?"
"She has the favor of His Majesty, who is so wise and powerful, yet she is still not satisfied and wants to steal my husband. Isn't this a slut?"
"Every time, every time she gives me charity in such a condescending way, I feel disgusted. It's just some junk she found and didn't want anymore, but she turns around and gives it to me, calling it something of the highest quality."
"What does she mean by this? Doesn't she think I don't know? Isn't she just mocking me as a low-class person who is only worthy of using things she has used?"
Chi Yu frowned: "You are really hopeless. No wonder, no wonder Wu An Hou doesn't like you. Who would like such a jealous woman?"
"What did you say?!!" She rushed over like crazy, trying to reach out and grab him, but she only fell on a cold fence: "I don't believe it, it was that bitch who seduced him, he loves me! He loves me!!!"
"Aunt, he's dead. I don't know whether he loved you or not. But if you don't tell me, your two children will be very cute and lovely."
"Chi Yu! What do you want to do?!" Her eyes were red and bloodshot: "Don't touch my Huan'er and Yu'er! They are innocent!"
Chi Yu looked down at her with a cold expression, "They are innocent? Am I not innocent? When you provoked my mother, did you not think that this day would come?"
Chen Pingting was stunned for a few seconds, then she sat down on the ground in a daze, unable to help but covering her face and crying.
"What can I do? If I don't do what he says, he will strangle my children to death. I'm just a weak woman, what can I do?"
"You have legs, don't you know how to run? Do you really have no heart? Can't you feel how good the Queen Mother is to you?! If you beg her, will she not help you?" He roared this angrily and held the iron railing tightly.
Chen Pingting's eyes widened as she gritted her teeth, "Why should I ask her for anything? It's because of her that I can't ask her for anything. I just want to prove that I live a better life than her, that I live a happier life than her! In my entire life, I, Chen Pingting, have never lost to her, Chen Zhaoyi!!"
She was breathing rapidly, and a ferocious expression appeared on her originally pretty face.
"Aunt, please calm down. Huan'er and Yu'er, come and meet your mother."
Two children, about six or seven years old, were caught and placed in front of the prison door, neither too far nor too close to her, just enough that she could see but not touch them.
"Huan'er! Yu'er!"
"Mommy, mommy, I'm scared, mommy, please don't stay here, okay..." The little girl was crying with her face full of snot and tears, and she looked so pitiful.
Chen Pingting loves her youngest daughter the most. Seeing her crying so miserably, she felt her heart was broken.
Huan'er is the younger sister who grew up under everyone's love. She knows that her mother has always been beautiful and dignified, and has never been like today, with messy hair and a gray face.
"Huan'er, my mother's Huan'er, my sweetheart." Big tears flowed from her eyes. She wanted to reach out and touch her child, but the distance was too far and she couldn't even touch a corner of her clothes.
"Chi Yu, no, Your Majesty, please let my child go. I beg you." As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. At this moment, all dignity and love and hatred were thrown away by her.
That's her child! She feels bad!
Yu'er knew what his brother, the emperor, wanted to know. He took the initiative to step forward and held Chen Pingting's hand. "Mother, please tell me. This matter has nothing to do with my grandfather."
"Mother, Huan'er is still young. She has lost her father and cannot lose her mother again."
He was small and clearly very sad, but he clenched his teeth, not letting his tears flow, and tried to comfort her.
But the little hands holding her were particularly cold.
She looked at the child who was poorly dressed due to lack of care, and finally nodded to Chi Yu: "Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything else."
Chi Yu still let them go and gave them a sum of money, enough for them to live the rest of their lives in peace.
"Yu'er, kowtow to your brother, the emperor."
"Thank you, Emperor brother." The little boy put on a stern face and saluted respectfully.
"No need. I have a house in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. If you and your two children don't mind, you can live there."
