Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 56 Testing

As soon as the servant finished speaking, before anyone could react, a tall figure appeared at the main entrance.

Behind him followed a group of guards holding swords but afraid to step forward.

Jun Jiuchen was standing with his back to the light, and the ghost face on his face looked a little scary. The pair of eyes exposed outside glanced lightly at the house, and then he walked into the house on his own.

It feels like strolling in your own home.

Then, he stood in front of Song Yi.

"Prime Minister Song has been absent from court for a long time due to illness... I didn't expect the palace to be so lively."

Song Yi looked at the uninvited guest in front of him.

He had originally planned to meet him after he recovered from his illness, but he didn't expect this man to come to him on his own initiative.

It's just the unkindness in the tone...

It was more obvious than he had imagined.

As expected, they are coming for the Prime Minister’s Mansion?

This is not a bad thing. It saves you from the temptation of false flattery and saves you trouble.

Song Yi thought about it, stood up, coughed a few times, and waved to the guards outside the door.

"The Regent has arrived. What are you doing? Stand down!"

The guards outside the door received the order, put away their swords and retreated.

Song Yi then looked at Jun Jiuchen with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"The servants in this mansion are ignorant. If there has been any offense, please forgive me, Your Majesty the Regent!"

Jun Jiuchen did not respond to Song Yi's words immediately.

Instead, he walked unceremoniously to the main seat on the other side of Song Yi and sat down, looking at Jiang Zheng and Song Wan standing in the hall.

"These two are..."

Song Yi was not annoyed by his uninvited arrival and arrogant behavior.

He spoke simply and concisely.

"He's just a doctor invited by the mansion."

Then he looked at Uncle Fu who was standing beside him.

"Uncle Fu, now that you've finished examining the old lady, please take her away!"

Jun Jiuchen saw that the people who came today had bad intentions, and he didn't want to affect irrelevant people.

Unexpectedly, before Uncle Fu could make any move, Jun Jiuchen suddenly spoke up to stop him, his eyes seemingly looking towards Song Wan and Jiang Zheng unintentionally, and he said casually.

"Wait a minute."

"Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Jiang Zheng felt a chill down his spine when he was swept by this gaze.

What luck he had today.

I finally had the chance to say goodbye and go back to digest what I learned today, but I ran into this murderous regent again.

Although he had been in the capital for less than a month, the news that the Regent often led people to confiscate properties and exterminate families had already spread throughout the capital. How could he not know about it?

My day is really...

It's too much to bear...

Jiang Zheng thought with some resignation, lowered his head and knelt down.

"I, Jiang Zheng, and my daughter Jiang Wanqiao, have come to see the Regent."

Jun Jiuchen glanced at Song Wan who was kneeling with Jiang Zheng.

"Doctor? Is she the 'female doctor' that people in the market have been talking about a few days ago?"

Song Wan lowered her head and responded.

"Your Highness, it is my daughter!"

Jun Jiuchen hummed and casually turned the jade ring on his hand.

"That's quite a coincidence. I was just thinking of asking Miss Jiang to come over and treat some of my old injuries."

"Since we happened to meet today, don't rush to leave. Just sit aside and wait."

"After I finish discussing business with Prime Minister Song, then follow me back to the palace!"

Song Wan was a little confused, and responded with just the right amount of respect.

"As you command."

Jiang Zheng spoke nervously at this time.

"Your Highness, since you have important matters to discuss with the Prime Minister, I'm afraid my daughter and I might be in the way."

"Why don't we go down and wait first?"

These two important figures are talking. They dare to speak, but they may not be destined to listen...

Try to stay away from trouble. This is the truth he has learned from his years of doing business.

Unexpectedly, Jun Jiuchen chuckled and looked at Song Yi with a distracted look.

"No problem. I came to see Prime Minister Song today just to ask about some trivial matters."

"Prime Minister Song is upright and honest, and a trusted minister of Tianqi. I don't think there's anything he needs to avoid."

"Prime Minister Song, do you think... what I said is correct?"

Jun Jiuchen's voice was already very low, and now the elongated ending tone carried a hint of sarcasm, making people feel depressed.

Fortunately, Song Yi was not disturbed by his few words which were full of profound meaning.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense."

"Since the prince has said so, you two can stay here with peace of mind."

Seeing that both of them had spoken, Jiang Zheng, no matter how depressed he was, had no choice but to take Song Wan to sit in the back seat on one side.

I thought that since I couldn't leave, it would be good to reduce my presence as much as possible.

Seeing the two of them sit down, Song Yi looked at Jun Jiuchen and continued.

"I wonder what the prince meant by 'trivial matters'?"

Jun Jiuchen also fixed his gaze on Song Yi and said with interest.

"I have received news that a spy from Mobei sneaked into Shangjing with a secret letter over twenty days ago. However, when I apprehended him, the letter...was missing. No matter how hard I pressed him, he refused to reveal it."

"However, my people discovered that he had been... wandering around the Prime Minister's Residence for some time..."

"I wonder if Prime Minister Song has received any unidentified letters recently?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Wan felt his eyebrows twitch.

For some reason, a bad feeling arose in my heart.

Twenty days ago.

letter?

should.

No way……

Song Yi, who was completely unaware of the situation, just curled the corners of his lips without moving a muscle.

Mobei spy? Song Yi wasn't raised to be intimidated.

"Your Highness, do you suspect that I have some connection with Mobei?"

Jun Jiuchen raised his eyes.

"Of course, I am willing to believe in Prime Minister Song's innocence. However, since this matter has come before me, I must investigate it. What do you think, Prime Minister Song?"

Song Yi looked at Jun Jiuchen without flinching.

"The Regent has worked tirelessly for the Tianqi Empire, so naturally I should cooperate. However... I'm afraid I'll disappoint His Majesty today."

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has not received any unidentified letters recently."

"Or... Your Majesty wants to bring someone to search it personally?"

Thinking of the master who sneaked into the mansion that day, Song Yi had some vague guesses in his mind.

Is he targeting the Prime Minister's residence and wants to use this fabricated secret letter as an excuse to openly search the Prime Minister's residence?

Jun Jiuchen just smiled faintly.

"No unsolicited letters? That's strange!"

"After all, I have found out that a few days ago, a street scoundrel named Hu Liang delivered a letter to the Prime Minister's residence on behalf of a mysterious person."

"Today, by chance, I have brought someone here. Since Prime Minister Song says there is no one, why don't we call him up and ask him together?"

Since Jun Jiuchen said so, Song Yi naturally couldn't say no.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling.

"Alright, I'll trouble you then, Your Highness."

Hong Shang, who was standing behind Song Wan, looked a little pale at this time.

Hu Liang...

This was the person she was looking for, the one who delivered the letter for the young lady...

but……

How is this matter related to the Mobei spies?
