Reborn, meet you again!

In a bedroom in the east courtyard of Prince Huai's palace.

A ray of slanting sunlight shines through the window lattice onto the mottled ground.

Prince Huai Yunxiao stood in front of Yun Zheng's bed, staring motionlessly at the imperial physician who was taking his son's pulse, his brows slightly furrowed, showing a bit of anxiety.

Yun Zheng injured himself in front of the Prime Minister's residence that day, fell unconscious and was carried back. He did not wake up until the next day.

After all, although the knife was not fatal, it penetrated very deeply.

It was obvious that he showed no mercy to his men when he took action, so he stayed in bed and rested in the mansion for the next few days.

After seeing the imperial physician finish taking the pulse, King Huai couldn't wait to take a step forward.

"Doctor, how is my son's recovery going?

The imperial physician bowed respectfully to King Huai.

"Don't worry, Your Highness! Although the Crown Prince was seriously injured this time and lost a lot of blood, fortunately, his physical foundation is very good, and his injuries have stabilized now!"

"However, the wound is too deep and close to the vital part. For the sake of safety, it is best for you to continue to rest in the mansion for a month and not get out of bed!"

"I will prepare a new prescription. Your Majesty, have someone change the prince's medicine regularly and use some blood-tonifying medicine to nourish him."

King Huai was over forty years old, and he exuded the elegance, composure and dignity of a gentleman.

Hearing the imperial physician say that his son's injuries were no longer serious, his tense body seemed to relax a little.

"That's good. I'll have to trouble the imperial physician to come today."

The imperial physician naturally did not dare to take credit for it.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. The Queen Mother has ordered that the Crown Prince lead the troops to eliminate the rebels. He is a meritorious official of Tianqi, and everything he does is as he should be."

King Huai looked grateful.

"The Queen Mother is so thoughtful. Please ask the royal physician to convey my gratitude to the Queen Mother on your behalf."

"When my son recovers, I will personally bring him to the palace to thank the Queen Mother."

The imperial physician looked at King Huai, who had a kind face and was not at all arrogant, and nodded respectfully.

Although he always knew that the Huai Wang Mansion was upright, Huai Wang was unemployed at home in the past, so it was fine for him to be an idle prince.

Now, with the unanimous recommendation of all the officials in the court, he has become the new Minister of the Central Secretariat, in charge of the six ministries. Prince Yun has also completely taken over the Imperial Guard. It is really not easy for him to be as humble as before.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will return to the palace and report immediately. I will definitely convey Your Majesty's words."

The imperial physician bowed to King Huai again, asked the medicine boy to carry the medicine box, and turned to leave.

He just watched the imperial physician leave.

The humility on King Huai's face slowly faded.

He walked slowly to Yun Zheng's bedside and looked at his son, whose face was still pale due to excessive blood loss. There was no trace of worry in his eyes anymore.

Just looked at him with a little indifference.

"Those who achieve great things don't dwell on trivial matters. As a father, I hope this will be the last time."

Yun Zheng sat up, as if he was already accustomed to his father's appearance.

"Father, you misunderstood. Regarding the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion...I just wanted to give an explanation to the world."

"Father once said that the human heart is the most important thing for a superior. I will always keep it in mind."

"After all, Song Wan was the Crown Prince's Consort whom I married in a formal ceremony. I shot him to death in front of so many people. Even though everyone knows now that I had no choice, if someone with ulterior motives were to use it in the future, it would still be detrimental to the reputation of Prince Huai's Mansion!"

"I think it's worth it to trade this little injury for peace of mind!"

King Huai seemed not to believe what his son said at all, and just continued to look down at him.

There was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

"Whether you are trying to give an explanation to the world or to yourself, you know it clearly!"

"Love is the last thing a man needs to achieve great things!"

"You have to remember, if you hadn't harbored such inappropriate thoughts... before the Song family completely collapsed, I didn't want Song Wan to die so soon!"

"It's you who killed her!"

Yun Zheng's eyes were filled with emotions, but in the end he just nodded silently.

"My son understands!"

"Don't worry, father. I've let it go! I won't make this mistake again!"

Yun Xiao turned around without comment, his robe drawing a cold arc in the air.

"The affairs of the court are not urgent for now. Since the imperial physician said you still need to recuperate, you should continue to stay in the mansion for the next month. Once you calm down, reflect on yourself!"

"With the sudden appearance of Jun Jiuchen, everything has to start all over again!"

"You...take care of yourself!"

Then, he walked out of the room without hesitation.

King Huai's footsteps soon disappeared in the empty room, leaving Yun Zheng alone leaning on the bed.

An indescribable dullness suddenly filled the room.

Suddenly, Yun Zheng's eyes fell on the pot of trumpet creeper that had long since withered under the window.

A charming and bright smile suddenly appeared in his mind.

Then, it slowly turned into the last scene of seeing her.

He clearly saw that her eyes, which had once been filled with trust and love, were now filled with doubt and disappointment...

Yun Zheng suddenly smiled bitterly.

Indeed, no one knows a son better than his father.

But...why, after being stabbed, didn't the guilt in his heart diminish in the slightest? Instead, it became even more intense...

Obviously...

At the beginning, it was just a deliberate calculation...

And she must have noticed something.

Yes!

Even though outsiders said that Song Wan, the "daughter of the treacherous prime minister", was a good-for-nothing, arrogant and domineering idiot who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and who chased after him all day long.

But he knows best what kind of person she is, doesn't he?

She is so smart. If he hadn't really fallen in love with her, how could he have deceived her?

only……

So what?

Ever since he followed his father down that path, there was no turning back for him!

She must die!

He just didn't expect that he paid such a huge price and that when great things were about to happen, they would be in vain in the blink of an eye.

However, it is precisely because he has paid such a huge price.

He would continue on this path even more resolutely...

Otherwise all this...

Doesn't that seem too ridiculous!
