Reborn, meet you again!

into the night.

Shangjing, which had been sunny for a long time, suddenly started to rain. The rain was so heavy and fast that the only sound was the sound of heavy rain falling on the eaves.

In Aunt Wen's room, Aunt Wen was holding Song Yan's hand and talking to her.

"Yan'er, how does your uncle treat you after you get married?"

"During dinner today, I noticed he was as attentive to the young lady as ever, yet extremely polite to you. Furthermore... your elder sister and you seemed quite unfamiliar. Are you two getting along well in Prince Huai's mansion?"

Since Song Yan chose to marry into Prince Huai's Mansion, she naturally didn't want Aunt Wen to worry about her.

She just concealed the various oppressions Jiang Wanqiao had inflicted on her in Prince Huai's Mansion these days and comforted her.

"My eldest sister has lost her memory and even forgotten about our father. Naturally, she is not as close to me as before."

"Don't worry, Auntie. My elder sister and I will live under the same roof in the future, and everything will slowly get better."

"As for the Crown Prince... he feels guilty towards my elder sister, so naturally he wants to treat her better. Uncle Fu must have informed my aunt about my elder sister's situation..."

Song Wan's heart meridian was damaged due to the fall from the cliff. Not only will his movements be restricted in the future, but his lifespan will also be shortened. Aunt Wen naturally knew that he would not live long.

Her mood was also extremely complicated.

When she learned of the eldest daughter's death, she felt only pity and heartache for her. However, now that her own daughter had married into Prince Huai's mansion, her mentality had changed slightly...

While feeling sorry for the young lady's experience

I'm worried about my daughter...

After all, she asked herself, if her elder sister were still alive, she would be just an insignificant existence in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and would never have the status and comfortable life she has now.

She knew she shouldn't think this way, but her own daughter...

It's always different.

Aunt Wen thought about it and nodded to Song Yan.

"I'm relieved that you can look at it this way."

"As for your eldest sister's health, although it's a sad thing to hear, her narrow escape from death is truly remarkable...it can be considered a sign of God's mercy."

"But there is one thing I still want to warn you about. The eldest lady has always been strong-willed. You and she are now sharing a husband. Remember not to fight with her in Prince Huai's mansion. Just focus on assisting her in managing the internal affairs."

"After all, the prince and your eldest sister have had a long-standing relationship, which is not something you can compare to in a short period of time. But I believe that as long as you do your job well, the prince will definitely see your good side."

"When the time comes, what belongs to you will naturally be yours..."

The two of them knew what the phrase "when the time comes" meant.

After listening to Aunt Wen's instructions, Song Yan just obediently responded with a "OK".

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that my eldest sister's temperament had changed a lot after she came back this time, my aunt's words would have been a good idea.

But now...

But not necessarily.

……

And at this time the Regent's Palace.

In Jun Jiuchen's study, Shangguan Yu was also frowning, and spoke to Jun Jiuchen with a serious expression.

"Jiuchen, Song Yi is bringing dozens of followers with him, all of whom are his trusted confidants. In addition to the people we sent to secretly protect him, as well as the extraordinary secret guards around him you mentioned, ordinary bandits should not be able to do this."

"This matter...I'm afraid there's something else going on."

Jun Jiuchen naturally thought of the anomaly. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Huo Du.

"Immediately select a team of black-armored guards and leave the city tonight to go to Jingyang County to search for Song Yi's whereabouts."

"A secret guard returned alive from the Prime Minister's residence today. If he has any news, I will send a message to you."

Huo Du listened to Jun Jiuchen's order but hesitated.

"Your Highness, the envoys from Mobei will arrive in Beijing in less than five days...why not have the Ministry of War transfer the garrison troops near Jingyang County?"

Jun Jiuchen did not change his mind.

"After all, this is Shangjing. We already know their purpose for coming here and have made arrangements long ago. You can go with peace of mind."

Seeing Jun Jiuchen's insistence, Huo Du said no more.

He just stood up, said "I obey your order!" and turned around and left in a swift and decisive manner, disappearing into the night.

Shangguan Yu did not leave with Huo Du, but looked at Jun Jiuchen again and continued.

"Jiuchen, according to reports from our spies stationed around Prince Huai's residence, Prince Huai left Shangjing for several days a while ago. In your opinion, could this incident... be related to him?"

Jun Jiuchen responded without much hesitation.

"Although many officials in the court dislike Song Yi, after the warnings he gave them in the past few months, they have become much more restrained."

"At this time, who else can be so generous except him?"

"However, Prince Huai's former subordinates are now almost all under our control. This time, they haven't made any unusual movements, and Yun Zheng hasn't led the Imperial Guards out of the capital..."

As Jun Jiuchen spoke, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"It seems... if King Huai doesn't have some invisible power in his hands, then he... has teamed up with someone."

Shangguan Yu looked at Jun Jiuchen's expression and knew that he had the same idea as him.

"Didn't Fang Zhong say... that the reason he let his daughter marry Xing Zixian a few days ago was part of the price he paid for getting Yao Peng..."

"I heard that Xing Tianming was once just an unknown soldier under King Huai. He was fierce but not very resourceful. King Huai personally promoted him step by step."

"Although he's not exactly a good person, he does have one thing in common... he's always grateful. Ever since King Huai took office as Minister of the Central Secretariat, he's been following King Huai's lead. It's no exaggeration to say he's King Huai's most trusted confidant, aside from Wei Zhixing."

Shangguan Yu said this and looked at Jun Jiuchen, and they both saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

Fang Zhong has a lot of experience, and Mrs. Fang comes from a scholarly family. Her father has many disciples. If he sides with them, it will directly threaten Xing Tianming's position.

But Fang Zhong only has this one daughter, and the couple loves her very much. If their two families marry, the Fang family will be completely on board King Huai's ship.

The people of Mobei are secretly trying to win over the court forces for King Huai...

"It seems that your decision to reuse Song Yi was the right one. Now that some court officials have defected, the fox King Huai is finally able to reveal his true colors."

"I hope Huo Du can bring Song Yi back safely."

Jun Jiuchen listened to Shangguan Yu's words, and paused for a moment while turning the black jade ring on his hand.

Suddenly, the pale face of Song Wan appeared in my mind when I saw her hurriedly leaving the Jiang family's door today.

Even if Song Yi was not there, they could always find other ways to suppress King Huai if they put in more effort.

But to her, Song Yi is unique.

If something happened to him...

The sound of rain outside the window was getting louder and louder. After Shangguan Yu left, Jun Jiuchen couldn't fall asleep for some reason, so he stood in the corridor, quietly watching the raindrops hitting the ground, splashing countless water.

But in the dead of night when everything was silent except for the sound of rain, Suifeng suddenly appeared in front of Jun Jiuchen.

"Your Highness...just now the gatekeeper reported that Miss Jiang is now outside the palace, requesting an audience...I heard that the gatekeeper told her that it was late, and Your Highness had retired, so she should come back tomorrow."

"But she insisted on waiting there. She's been standing there for half an hour now. The concierge had no other choice but to tell me about it."

Jun Jiuchen's heart moved slightly when he heard Suifeng's words.

This time...

Could it be that Song Yi has found his whereabouts?

"Let her in."
