Jiang Xing had seen Song Wu's abilities before, so he naturally didn't think that what she said was a joke.

He stopped playing with the teacup, his stiff expression moved, and his face looked a little ugly.

"Is this king really dead in half a year?"

"Not necessarily." Song Wu shook his head: "Didn't I save your life before? Besides, I am the prince's current princess, I will not stand by and watch you die!"

Seeing how calm she was, he inexplicably put aside his suspicions.

She was obviously a girl seven or eight years younger than me, but for some reason, when I saw her, I felt that she was someone I could trust and rely on.

"I know what you mean, Princess!" Jiang Xing smiled warmly. "When it comes to investigating the murderer who plotted against me, Princess and I both want to know who is behind this!"

Song Wu nodded, "More than that."

She poured tea into both cups. "While I'm investigating the murderer with His Majesty and helping him avoid death, I'll continue to do my own thing. I hope His Majesty won't interfere!"

"Besides, I might find my destined partner while resolving issues for people or souls. At that time, I will reconcile with the prince on my own!"

Her voice was steady and her tone firm.

Jiang Xing felt a little bit of loss in his heart, but he also understood what she meant.

It’s better this way, I’m not that pure anyway!

He curled his lips, took the tea she had poured, and gently clinked his cup with hers.

"Then I hope you and I can have a pleasant cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Song Wu finally smiled softly, and that smile was soft like a spring breeze blowing away the winter snow.

This was the first time he saw her laugh so sincerely. His throat rolled and he swallowed the tea, as if it was a pure covenant between the two of them.

"Then before we get married, Your Majesty, please give me those tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

Jiang Xing: “…”

"Feixing will take you back later, and I'll ask him to take you along."

Song Wu lowered his head and smiled, "Then Your Majesty, please tell me the business you came to see me about today!"

Jiang Xing stood up. "I've found the person who harmed me. It was the medical officer who accompanied me all the way back to the capital. But after being discovered, he committed suicide by biting himself with poison before anything could be learned from him... Moreover, he was the man given to me by General Lu Xuan, whom you know!"

He turned around and said, "Before leaving, it was General Lu Xuan who specifically stuffed him into my team and asked me to keep him with me at all times so I could take care of him!"

Song Wu looked at him suddenly, "Medical officer?"

Then she asked, "What is the doctor's last name?"

"Yes." He drummed his knuckles on the table. "Doctor Yes!"

Song Wu stood there in a daze. Something was wrong!

In the previous life, this Doctor Xu was clearly the miracle doctor who saved Jiang Xing!

She remembered that in her previous life, Jiang Xing also returned to the capital due to a serious illness. Not long after his return, news spread in the capital that Prince Jin had died and was saved by the doctor Xu who accompanied him!

Afterwards, the miracle doctor became very popular in the capital and was said to have made a lot of money.

Song Wu suppressed his inner doubts and asked, "Your Majesty, do you believe my dream?"

Jiang Xing was stunned by his question.

Song Wu continued, "The situation in my previous dream is completely different from the current one. Besides the fact that the prince married Song Chuchu, the second daughter of the Bo family, this Doctor Xu is the miracle doctor who saved the prince and has become famous in the capital for this."

He didn't know why she mentioned the dream twice today. He believed the last dream, but this one was a bit outrageous.

He shook his head and smiled, "Then it really was a dream."

"This Doctor Xu is the murderer who poisoned me. Fei Xing and Xuan Ge investigated for half a month and caught him red-handed. We never imagined that the one who poisoned me would be a doctor who was saving lives!"

It took Song Wu a while to figure out the key.

It seems that in his previous life, for reasons of self-interest, Doctor Xu finally chose to detoxify Prince Jin, but he did not take Lu Annian's soul, causing Jiang Xing to be ill all the time in his previous life!

Song Wu: "That Doctor Xu is actually General Lu's man?"

She found it even more incredible.

General Lu Xuan is Prince Jin's cousin, and the Queen Mother and the Duke's wife have a close relationship. How could they allow someone to harm Prince Jin?

However, it was rumored that this general had died long ago and was not discovered until more than ten years later. It is unknown what happened in between.

Jiang Xing cleared his throat and said, "So I asked the princess to come here because I wanted you to help me take the letter to General Lu Xuan out."

He handed the letter to Song Wu, which was sealed with wax.

Song Wu looked at the letter in his hand and said, "He was able to write to General Lu, which shows that the prince does not completely doubt him."

"I'd rather believe it!" His eyes turned, "I'm someone who always wants to get to the bottom of everything. Even if he lets me down, betrays me, or stabs me in the back, I'll still ask him in person!"

Song Wu met his gaze directly: "Where are you taking the letter?"

"The palace is under surveillance. Miss Song can be taken back to the Earl's Mansion. Someone will come to pick her up before midnight!"

……

In the Cining Palace, the empress dowager was smiling happily.

"Okay, ten days later is ten days later. As long as my son is safe, everything will be fine!"

She stood up and walked over to Xuan Ge, whispering, "Does Yun Ce really like that girl Song Wu? Why is he so impatient?"

Xuan Ge thought for a while, then bowed respectfully and replied, "He must be... afraid that someone will steal his wife!"

The Queen Mother's brows tightened. "What do you mean?"

Xuan Ge quickly told the whole story of the Marquis's proposal.

A chill crossed the Queen Mother's face. "What position does the Earl of Loyalty hold now?"

Xuan Ge replied, "I'll be appointed Chief Clerk of the Imperial Household Department!"

She glanced at the palace maid and said, "Yinpei, I remember Ruhui was the Minister of the Imperial Household Department?"

"Yes my lady!"

"Summon him over!"

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and added, "It's time for the Queen to come to my palace and pay her respects!"

As Xuan Ge walked out of the Cining Palace, he felt the wind was rather strong. He had a premonition that Lord Song might not be well, and that the dispute between the Empress and the Queen Mother, or rather the dispute between the Ji and Xie families, would probably intensify...

……

The next day.

Today is a good day, Song Ming specially checked the almanac.

So after only working half a day in the yamen, he hurried to the marquis's mansion with gifts and visiting cards and his family to pay a visit.

"My Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look more energetic than ever!"

"No, no, Brother Song and his entire family have come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you..."

In the flower hall of Yongping Marquis's mansion, Yongping Marquis Ji Xiangli greeted Song Ming.

The servants put down the gifts they brought in large and small bags in the storeroom, and turned around and couldn't help gossiping.

"Except for the eldest daughter from before, everyone from the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence has come this time! And the gifts they gave are so valuable!"

"I'm afraid he's just trying to save face and win the prince's hand in marriage!"

"It's hard for them to save face. A few years ago, when that eldest daughter kept coming here, Chief Steward Ji said that this was the last generation to inherit the title. When the annual salary is gone, the mansion will become an empty shell!"

Just as they expected, the gifts Song Ming brought this time were a huge expense.

There was no other way, so Song Wu was allowed to choose a concubine without the knowledge of the Marquis. Unexpectedly, he was chosen. It goes without saying that the Marquis and the Crown Prince would be very angry!

He had no choice but to prepare generous gifts and bring his family to apologize, even calling the sick Li and Song Chusi.

Of course, what is more important is to let Chuchu show up in front of the Marquis' Mansion.

But what he saw was different from what he had guessed. Lord Ji was not angry at all. Instead, he looked more respectful and polite than usual.
