Reborn, meet you again!

Jun Jiuchen thought about it, looking at Song Wan in front of him with deep eyes.

because of her.

He began to look forward to "tomorrow".

Therefore, he will not put himself in danger easily again.

But it was impossible for him to say such sentimental words. He just collected his thoughts and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Miss Song confidently asked me for a betrothal gift the other day."

"Why, are you scared now?"

Seeing that he didn't answer but asked instead, Song Wan knew that this man probably wouldn't tell her the answer.

Forget it, just don’t say it.

Just listening to his question, he spoke in a straightforward tone as if it was a matter of course.

"Of course. I've died once, so I still cherish my life."

"If I could keep this head, it would be even better..."

Jun Jiuchen was not angry at Song Wan's somewhat cowardly and somewhat disappointing answer.

She knows how to cherish her life.

well.

"Don't worry, Miss Song. His Majesty is still young. Even if Su Jinyue really has some prejudice against me, she may not dare to do anything."

"So your head can stay in your head for the time being."

For now, he only needs to do his duty as the regent, uncover the truth about King Huai's rebellion, and try to keep Su Jinyue away from His Majesty so as not to ruin Shangguan Yu's painstaking teachings.

And if Su Jinyue really believed the slander, was reckless, and showed her power to him, he would make her understand.

The door of the cold palace...

Never really closed.

Thinking of this, Jun Jiuchen suddenly shifted his gaze away from Song Wan and stood up.

"Now that you're here, don't rush back."

"Tonight, I'll take you to see someone..."

After hearing this, Song Wan stopped asking him how he wanted to deal with the Queen Mother.

Just hearing him say that he wanted to take her to meet someone, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Could it be...

……

The waning moon hangs high in the sky.

In late autumn in Beijing, it is a bit hot even at night.

But in the dungeon of the Five Elements Department, the damp air was filled with the smell of decay, and the dim torches cast swaying shadows on the stone walls, which seemed a bit gloomy.

In a dark room, a woman with disheveled hair was tied to an iron frame, her clothes stained with dried blood.

At this moment, the woman was lying motionless with her eyes tightly closed. If it weren't for her clear and shallow breath blowing against her hair in front of her, showing a hint of life, she would have looked like a dead person.

It was not until a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded at the entrance of the dungeon that the woman finally moved, slowly raised her head, and looked towards the approaching source of sound and light.

Then I saw a man and a woman walking down the stone steps step by step, and their footsteps echoed in the empty dungeon.

Then, it stopped in front of her.

When the woman saw the person coming, a glimmer of life appeared in her eyes, and her voice was hoarse from not speaking for a long time.

"You finally came……"

Jun Jiuchen raised his hand when he heard that, and the black-armored guards behind him put down the candles in their hands and retreated, leaving Suifeng alone.

"From the tone of her voice, it seems that the Queen is waiting for me..."

"Why, has Her Majesty thought it through?"

The lit torch reflected on the woman's face.

Song Wan finally saw the person in front of him clearly.

And this person, just as she thought, was Queen Wei who had been given poisoned wine several months ago.

She had also entered the palace to meet the emperor and empress before, but at this moment, Empress Wei's well-maintained face had become thin and withered, completely losing her former dignity and glory.

He just used his already cloudy eyes to sweep over her, and then fell on Jun Jiuchen's face.

"Who are you, and why are you investigating the cause of that bitch's death..."

When he heard the word "bitch", a fierce look suddenly flashed across Jun Jiuchen's eyes.

Suddenly, without warning, he reached out and pinched her jaw, and then the sound of bones dislocating was clearly heard in the dungeon.

There was also a hint of anger in his voice.

"It seems that the Queen has been in this prison for half a year and still hasn't learned her lesson."

"Why? Your Majesty, haven't you had enough of what it's like to be stuck alone in this dark cell for the past six months, with no one paying attention to you?"

Hearing these words, Queen Wei's filthy eyes suddenly shrank.

Compared to the initial punishment inflicted upon me, the countless days and nights that followed were the real torture.

Seeing the look in Queen Wei's eyes, Jun Jiuchen finally let go of his hand and gave Suifeng a look.

Suifeng immediately stepped forward and twisted Queen Wei's dislocated jaw back into place.

Jun Jiuchen looked at Queen Wei who had stopped talking, and then continued speaking.

"Now, I ask you again, who ordered you to poison the late emperor?"

"Why did you attack Shupin back then?"

When Queen Wei heard this question, her eyes were filled with emotion.

"I've already said it before. The one who ordered me to do this was Dingbei King Zhou Chi. This is known to everyone in the world. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it."

"As for... Shupin, she is the biological mother of the Third Prince. I want to adopt the Third Prince, so she naturally cannot survive!"

Hearing this answer which was exactly the same as half a year ago, Jun Jiuchen just chuckled.

"Really? It seems that Queen Wei really refuses to reveal Prince Huai's name no matter what."

"However... I was originally wondering if your Wei family still had some leverage over Prince Huai... It wasn't until recently that someone told me something quite interesting, and I finally understood..."

Jun Jiuchen stopped talking midway, causing Queen Wei's heart to lift as well.

But he just continued to act as if nothing had happened, waiting for Jun Jiuchen's voice to sound again.

"It is truly unbelievable that the Queen of a country...actually had an affair with Prince Huai..."

"But now seeing Queen Wei acting like this, preferring to endure torture rather than betray Prince Huai, I have no choice but to believe her."

When Queen Wei heard this, her heart sank.

Does he know?

how come?

She even hid her relationship with Zizhan from the Wei family after she entered the palace.

How could Jun Jiuchen, who had been fighting in Mobei for many years and had no roots in Shangjing, find out easily?

No, he must be deceiving her...

Thinking of this, Queen Wei continued to speak calmly.

"What does the Regent mean by this? Why don't I understand?"

"Although I'm in your hands now, I won't let you put any accusations on my head!"

Jun Jiuchen stared at Queen Wei carefully, not missing any expression on her face, and continued to press the issue.

"do not know?"

"Prince Huai tricked Zhou Chi into rebellion and allowed him to go on a killing spree at the Prince Huai's wedding banquet. You then helped him eliminate the two princes who came to congratulate him. You then coordinated with him from within and seized the opportunity to poison the late emperor... Once Zhou Chi had established his reputation as a traitor, Yun Zheng, under the guise of expelling the traitor, pursued him all the way to Leiyang and killed him to silence him."

"At that time, Prince Huai's Mansion will be the greatest contributor to the suppression of the rebellion. You will step in to persuade the Wei family and help him ascend to the throne. Combined with his arrangements in Shangjing over the years... the throne will be as easy as taking something from a sack for him..."

"Such a perfect plan, even this prince couldn't help but applaud, how could the Queen not know about it?"

"
