Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 308: Handing over the Tiger Talisman

The originally bustling Mingde Hall suddenly became extremely empty.

Jun Jiuchen looked at Su Jinyue and Prince Huai who remained in the palace, with a hint of sneer on his lips.

"Looking at the Queen Mother's expression, she doesn't seem to be worried about His Majesty being poisoned..."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyue flicked her wide sleeves and stood up slowly from the phoenix throne. The hem of her skirt embroidered with gold thread dragged on the floor tiles, making a rustling sound, and finally stopped in front of Jun Jiuchen's chair.

"Prince Regent, there's no need to be sarcastic. You forced me to take this step."

"Now, what else do you want to say?"

Jun Jiuchen did not comment on Su Jinyue's words.

"Instead of asking me if I have anything else to say, Queen Mother, why not just tell me what I want in exchange for letting my princess go?"

"Or...what does the Queen Mother want?"

At this point, Su Jinyue didn't beat around the bush with him.

A straightforward way.

"What I have always wanted is the Mobei Army Tiger Tally."

"You guessed it, didn't you?"

Jun Jiuchen couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

"I guess so."

"But I never thought that the Queen Mother would poison her own son just for the tiger talisman... It's truly remarkable..."

Jun Jiuchen said this, looking at King Huai meaningfully.

"Such a ruthless and inhumane idea, as expected... must have come from King Huai."

Seeing Jun Jiuchen shift his gaze to him, King Huai said without moving his brows.

"Why must the Regent speak so harshly? I am doing this for the sake of Your Majesty's country and people."

"If you hadn't relied on the military power in your hands to disrespect His Majesty and disobey the Queen Mother, this day wouldn't have come to this."

The smile in Jun Jiuchen's eyes slowly faded after hearing this. She glanced at Song Wan beside her before speaking with a cold gaze.

"Are the Queen Mother and Prince Huai so sure that I will surrender my military power and let you do whatever you want for a woman?"

"Of course I can't be sure." King Huai took a step forward and stopped not far behind Su Jinyue.

"But we have to give it a try, don't we?"

"Furthermore... the Prince Regent wouldn't think that your princess poisoned His Majesty in public, and that you and your Prince Regent's Palace could escape unscathed..."

As King Huai spoke, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Today, all those outside Mingde Palace are the Queen Mother's men. All of your Mobei troops in the Imperial Guard have been transferred away, and your Black Armor Guards... should also be under my son's control by now."

"As for Huo Du and your generals, Minister Xing has already mobilized his men and taken control of their families while they were in the palace for the banquet. They will certainly not come to rescue you..."

"So today, you have no choice but to surrender your military power."

Listening to King Huai's words, Song Wan seemed a little frightened.

With some nervousness, she leaned towards Jun Jiuchen.

The slender white fingers tightly grasped Jun Jiuchen's sleeves, and the knuckles turned white.

When King Huai saw her like this, his smile deepened.

"But don't worry, Prince Regent. The Queen Mother is kind and has specifically instructed that if you surrender your military power today, she will spare both of your lives in consideration of your past service to the Emperor."

"He who understands the current situation is a hero. This is such a simple truth, the Regent should understand it..."

Jun Jiuchen's expression seemed to turn ugly at this moment because he heard that his people were transferred away.

Upon seeing this, King Huai immediately added fuel to the fire.

"The Regent must think carefully."

"Your decision today... not only affects you, but also the lives of those who followed you in Mobei and their families..."

After hearing this, Jun Jiuchen finally stood up with an angry look on his face.

"How dare you!"

King Huai just smiled.

"If the Regent doesn't believe it, you can give it a try..."

Jun Jiuchen looked directly at King Huai, his chest heaving.

At this moment, Song Wanze tugged at his sleeve with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty...I don't want to die..."

Seeing Song Wan's appearance, Su Jinyue couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

This is the woman Jun Jiuchen would rather reject than marry...

It's really ridiculous.

Jun Jiuchen stared at Song Wan's tearful eyes, emotions surging in his eyes.

After a long time, he suddenly took out a bronze tiger talisman from his arms, gritted his teeth and threw it on the table, making a crisp "clang" sound.

"Since the Queen Mother wants this tiger talisman, just take it."

When Su Jinyue saw this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she couldn't wait to reach out to take the tiger talisman. However, just as her hand touched the tiger talisman, Jun Jiuchen's voice rang in her ears again.

"I hope the Queen Mother can bear the weight of this tiger talisman!"

Su Jinyue's body stiffened slightly when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure.

She stood up, put the tiger talisman back into her sleeve, and raised her chin slightly.

"The Regent will not have to worry about that."

"King Huai, take everyone away!"

Upon hearing this, King Huai immediately shouted outside the palace: "Come here, take the Regent and the Princess away and await their fate!"

Xing Tianming immediately led the imperial guards in a line.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Xing Tianming took Jun Jiuchen and Song Wan away, the door of Mingde Hall was closed again in front of Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue's tense body suddenly relaxed.

She took a deep breath before taking out the tiger talisman from her sleeve. Her trembling fingers stroked the cold patterns on the bronze tiger talisman, and her eyes were filled with irrepressible joy.

She finally...

Won this game for Ye'er.

From then on, Ye'er's throne was secure...

When King Huai saw Su Jinyue's appearance, he hurried forward and bowed to Su Jinyue.

"Congratulations, Queen Mother, for getting what you wished for."

Su Jinyue finally came back to her senses from her joy and put the tiger talisman back into her sleeve.

"Thank you, King Huai, for making today's event possible."

"Don't worry, Prince Huai. You are Ye'er's uncle. Ye'er will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future..."

"But Jun Jiuchen has done us mother and son a favor. Prince Huai, remember to follow my instructions and spare his life! But Jiang... doesn't need to live..."

King Huai bowed deeply, concealing the dark light in his eyes, and responded respectfully.

"In that case, I will go check on Ye'er. He should have woken up after taking the antidote."

"The rest of the matters will be handed over to King Huai."

King Huai still lowered his eyes and maintained a bowing posture.

"Yes! Queen Mother."
