Reborn, meet you again!

While letting the wind carry me with my random thoughts.

Jun Jiuchen has already shifted his gaze back to Song Wan.

"I'm just using marriage to ward off romantic interests. Who said I'll marry you right away?"

Upon hearing this, Song Wan put down her hand that was lifting the curtain and looked at him with a smile.

"That won't do. I'm a weak woman, and I've been out of the capital with the prince for so long. It's inevitable that my reputation will be ruined. Who would dare to marry me in the future?"

"If the prince doesn't give me an explanation, I won't be able to explain myself to Jiang's parents when I return home today."

Jun Jiuchen just looked at her with the eyes of an ungrateful person.

"I don't know who begged me to leave the capital, but now they're turning the tables and asking me to give an explanation."

"As for reputation... do you have that kind of thing?"

Song Wan just ignored his cold words as usual.

Instead, she stood up, sat down next to him, took his hand and rested her head on his arm, then spoke to herself.

"Of course not. I'm no longer the same 'insane young lady' I used to be. I'm a female healer who's quite popular among the people of Shangjing..."

"As for the betrothal gift, the rest is fine. If Your Highness doesn't have the money, we can just make do with whatever we have. The Jiang family isn't short of money anyway."

"But my brother from the Jiang family has also set off for the capital. He's quite capable. Your Highness, if you can assess his abilities and give him a small official position, it won't be in vain for the money the Jiang family spent on accommodating the Mobei Army."

"After all, when I was planning this, I actually had a selfish motive to help the Prime Minister's Mansion. This was what I promised to Father Jiang..."

Song Wan thought for a moment and said again.

"By the way, these betrothal geese must have been hunted by the prince himself. As for..."

Listening to the chattering in his ears, Jun Jiuchen also turned his head and looked at the woman leaning on his arm, playing with her hair with her fingers.

I thought, she really is...

Shameless.

How could a woman ask for a betrothal gift so blatantly?

But for some reason, the wind tonight seems to be especially gentler than usual...

……

Just as Suifeng slowed down and drove the carriage towards the Jiang family at an extremely steady pace, Helian Qi had already returned to the inn with the national teacher.

But after returning to the room, Helian Qi could no longer hide his anxiety and smashed the teacup on the table to pieces.

Then, he turned around and spoke quickly to the Mobei State Master.

"Immediately pass down the order to withdraw all the secret agents deployed in various countries."

"Remember to have them clean up the mess and not let anyone catch them."

Although he had already given up the Hetao area.

But he couldn't trust Jun Jiuchen.

This matter is in his hands and will become a hidden danger sooner or later.

Therefore, it would be better for him to take action first and cut off his tail to survive.

Thinking of all the hard work he had put in, Helian Qi felt his blood boiling.

The Imperial Master in blue also knew that the current situation was not favorable to the Crown Prince, and he quickly responded with a "good."

But before Helian Qi could calm down and discuss with him how to explain to his father Khan when he returned, the servant beside him suddenly knocked on the door.

"Prince, someone wants to see you."

Helian Qi became a little impatient when he heard this.

At this time, who would be so blind as to come and see him?

But he glanced at the night outside the window and still spoke.

"Come in!"

If you come to see him at this time, there must be something wrong.

After he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

When Helian Qi saw the face of the person who came, his eyes narrowed slightly with a hint of vigilance.

"King Huai, what brings you here so late at night?"

The people of Tianqi are cunning by nature, and King Huai is not a good person either. After what happened today, he has to be more careful.

So as to avoid being plotted against by Jun Jiuchen again.

After all, since he had known about the matter of Yao Gong for a long time, the news he received about the internal struggle between him and King Huai might not be true.

At this time, King Huai slowly walked out from behind the attendant and came in front of Helian Qi.

"Why is the prince so on guard?"

"This prince knows that the crown prince suffered a loss at the hands of Jun Jiuchen today, and I am unwilling to accept this. I have come here precisely to relieve the crown prince's worries."

Then, he shifted his gaze to the broken cup at Helian Qi's feet and continued.

"Judging from the situation, my arrival is... just in time."

When Helian Qi heard King Huai mention this matter without any reservation, he felt a little annoyed, but he forced himself to suppress it, lifted the corner of his clothes, and sat down in the room.

"Speak directly!"

King Huai was not annoyed when he heard this. He walked straight to Helian Qi, sat down, poured a glass of wine, and spoke in a low and slow voice.

"The reason Jun Jiuchen is so arrogant is simply because he relies on his merits in helping the young emperor ascend the throne and the Mobei Army under his command."

"But... this kind of achievement that threatens the ruler is inevitable in every dynasty..."

King Huai said this and took a sip of wine.

"At today's banquet, Jun Jiuchen publicly refused the marriage proposal. Although the Queen Mother complied with his wishes, she must be unhappy in her heart. Isn't this a good opportunity for us to alienate them?"

"Although Jun Jiuchen holds military power, he is ultimately a minister. Unless he rebels, once he loses the emperor's favor, it will only be a matter of time before he falls from this position."

"In this way, the prince can also avenge the humiliation he suffered today."

Helian Qi just snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Does Prince Huai really think Su Jinyue is a fool? Even if she is dissatisfied with what happened today, it has already been put in the past. It is not a big deal."

"Even if she has to endure it, she has to swallow her anger!"

If Su Jinyue really had the courage to challenge Jun Jiuchen.

Today, it would not end like this.

When King Huai heard this, an unfathomable smile appeared on his face.

"If it's just a rejection of the marriage, it wouldn't be a big deal... But what if... I push her further, causing Su Ling'er to commit suicide out of frustration?"

"The Crown Prince said, what will the Queen Mother think then? Jun Jiuchen is not the only one available in the court now... There is also this king..."

When Helian Qi heard this, a light flashed in his eyes.

He saw with his own eyes today how much Su Jinyue valued her as his sister.

if……

Thinking of this, Helian Qi finally looked at King Huai with some interest.

"Oh? Prince Huai is so sure that Miss Su Er will be devastated by something like this?"

King Huai just smiled meaningfully.

"This king has his own way, your Highness, there is no need to worry."

"This Second Miss Su has always been timid. Su Jinyue naturally understands her sister. Moreover, I have a talented person who can imitate human handwriting."

"If we add a moving suicide note, Su Jinyue will definitely believe it."

Helian Qi finally showed a genuine smile when he heard this.

Jun Jiuchen is always a big concern for him, whether today or on the battlefield.

If he could be eliminated, he would naturally be more than happy to do so.

only……

"Then what is King Huai's intention in telling me this today?"

"You can't really think that this is to vent my anger!"

When King Huai heard Helian Qi ask him this question, he did not hide his intention at all.

"Now that I am on the same boat with the Crown Prince, I will speak frankly."

"That position of supreme ruler... I want it, but even if I gradually win over Su Jinyue's heart, I cannot help but be wary of the military power in Jun Jiuchen's hands."

"So, this king wants to make a deal with the prince."

"If the Crown Prince can help this king achieve his wish, then the Hetao region... will naturally return to the Crown Prince's hands!"
