Reborn, meet you again!

Yun Zheng also came back to his senses from that moment of distraction at this time, shifted his gaze away from Song Wan, and met Jun Jiuchen's somewhat unfriendly gaze.

"Your Highness, your words are too kind. It's just a matter of reciprocity, a common human behavior."

Jun Jiuchen curled his lips.

"Oh? Really? Reciprocity? I thought the Crown Prince had other intentions."

"I have heard that Prince Huai has been bringing his son to the Queen Mother to show his loyalty recently."

"Even the censor who had been investigating Minister Pei's personal conduct for over half a month was easily dealt with by King Huai."

"The Crown Prince has come to the Marquis' Mansion in person again today... Prince Huai and the Crown Prince's loyalty to Your Majesty is truly moving."

Yun Zheng naturally understood what Jun Jiuchen meant. He knew that Prince Huai's Mansion was trying to win over the Queen Mother and the young Emperor, but he did not show any sign of panic. He just spoke calmly.

"Sharing the worries of His Majesty and the Queen Mother is the duty of a minister."

"The Prince Regent has worked so hard to assist His Majesty, and we can only help with these minor matters."

Jun Jiuchen did not comment on Yun Zheng's words.

"I see."

"However, I see that the coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin. Why don't you go in first, so as not to miss any opportunity to "fulfill your duties"?"

Yun Zheng only felt that this person's attitude towards him and Prince Huai's Mansion was indeed a little unusual, just as his father had said.

However, my father has sent people to investigate for several months, but has not been able to find out this person's background. The Mobei Army and the Five Elements Bureau are like an iron barrel, making it impossible to find a breakthrough.

I don’t know what the inside story is.

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng looked thoughtfully at the black ghost mask on Jun Jiuchen's face, hiding the expression in his eyes.

"Okay, then I'll go ahead."

……

After Yun Zheng left, Jun Jiuchen turned his attention to Song Wan.

Seeing that she still had the same beautiful smile on her face as when she was staring at Yun Zheng just now, Jun Jiuchen felt that it was very annoying.

"I wonder what Miss Jiang said to Prince Yun just now. They were so happy. I saw that Miss Jiang's mouth was almost curled up to the sky."

Jun Jiuchen was wearing a mask today. Although Song Wan couldn't see the expression on his face, for some reason, she seemed to be able to see through the mask in her mind and see his face with a forced smile underneath the mask.

My heart suddenly shuddered.

It seems that he really hates Prince Huai's Mansion.

Even when she spoke a few words to the people in Prince Huai's Palace, she was so unhappy.

Also.

He said that King Huai and he had a feud over the murder of his mother, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were sworn enemies.

Song Wan thought that this person always liked to dwell on trivial matters, and hurriedly swore to the heavens to distance herself from Yun Zheng.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? I was just angry about the time King Huai falsely accused me."

"And seeing Prince Yun act like nothing happened when he saw me, saying one thing to my face and another behind my back, it's really disgusting. I couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks about him."

"Your Highness also knows that there is a difference between this smile and laughter."

When Jun Jiuchen heard Song Wan say the word "disgusting", the inexplicable irritation that had arisen in his heart when he saw the two of them standing together and smiling at each other finally subsided a little.

He leaned over, seemed to be studying her face carefully, and spoke.

"Oh? It turns out Miss Jiang's smile has so many tricks."

"Then I wonder how you interpret this smile you're showing me now?"

Song Wan was busy showing off his skill in smoothing the fur.

"That's naturally three parts admiration, three parts worship, and four parts sincere submission."

Jun Jiuchen just glanced at him.

"Really? Then why does it seem to me like you're three parts flattering, three parts guilty conscience, and four parts fawning?"

Song Wan's secrets were exposed, but she still spoke firmly.

"Then the prince must have seen it wrong!"

Then he immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, according to what the prince said just now, was it Prince Huai who instructed the censor to impeach Pei Qingyan?"

Jun Jiuchen straightened up upon hearing this and said nonchalantly.

"It can't be said that they instructed it. Those people in the Censorate still have some integrity."

"King Huai was simply using the good reputation of the Huai Palace to persuade them to surrender with reason."

Song Wan listened to Jun Jiuchen's disapproving tone and asked curiously.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that if this continues, the Queen Mother and His Majesty will truly trust Prince Yu Huai and alienate you?"

Although the young emperor was able to ascend the throne thanks to the military power in his hands.

But he will grow up one day.

Supreme power always makes people lose their minds easily, especially those who sit on the throne. Just look at how Yun Zheng and King Huai are scheming, and you can get a glimpse of it.

Perhaps when the young emperor grows up, the military power in Jun Jiuchen's hands will become a sharp sword, stabbing him.

Jun Jiuchen's expression remained calm.

"In this world, there are always thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there are no thieves who can guard against them for a thousand days. He is now the Minister of the Central Secretariat and your Majesty's uncle. I cannot prevent him from entering the palace to meet you."

"I have already explained the interests involved to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty. The rest is beyond my control."

"After all, human hearts... have always been the most unpredictable thing in this world..."

"What do you think, Miss Jiang?"

The last sentence, however, seems to refer not only to the empress dowager and the young emperor.

Song Wan didn't notice the hidden meaning in his words and just nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense."

"Then Your Majesty, are you going in now?"

Jun Jiuchen did not answer Song Wan's words, but turned around and walked towards the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Song Wan felt a little puzzled when she saw this.

As far as she knew, this person had never participated in any banquet since coming to Beijing. Why was he willing to join in the fun today?

According to his original arrangement, shouldn't he wait until everyone is present before leading the Black Armored Guards to rush in and arrest people?

But no matter what he thought, she seemed to have no control over it, so she just lagged behind him a little to avoid suspicion, and then walked into the mansion.
