Reborn, meet you again!

I heard the three words "Lone Goose Picture".

The hint of joy that had just surged in Song Wan's heart disappeared instantly.

If it were any other famous painting, the more valuable it was, the easier it would be to find. If she thought of a way, there would always be hope of getting it.

But it happened to be this pair...

This is Mr. Yu Bai's painting of a lone goose.

Of course she knows it too!

It is precisely because I know this that I realize how difficult this matter is.

Because she knew that the painting had been burned by the late emperor...himself!

But Jun Jiuchen had already said so. Regardless of whether he was deliberately making things difficult for her or really wanted to, should she tell him the truth now that the painting was impossible to find?

Not to mention that she couldn't explain how she knew about this. After all, this was a matter within the palace and had not been spread outside.

If she confessed, would this last bit of hope be gone?

She doesn't want to give up!

Song Wan thought about it, and seemed to have made up her mind. She straightened the smile that was about to break on her face and said it in a relaxed manner.

"It's just a painting. I will do my best!"

When Jun Jiuchen heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, then I will wait and see."

"However, the last batch of wounded soldiers from Mobei will arrive in Beijing in less than two weeks. This matter cannot be delayed. Miss Jiang doesn't have much time left..."

"If Miss Jiang still hasn't found the whereabouts of this painting within seven days, I will send a letter to Jinling."

Song Wan swallowed the urge to curse and gave a respectful smile.

"I know."

"By the way, didn't the prince say yesterday at the Prime Minister's residence that he had an old illness and wanted me to treat it?"

"Later, a misunderstanding occurred, and the prince left in a hurry. I wonder if he really meant what he said? If so, since I'm here, why don't I take a look for him?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuchen looked at the woman in front of him thoughtfully, and a trace of alertness arose in his heart.

He took her away yesterday, obviously to force her to tell him about the letter, she couldn't fail to see it.

Everything is fine, why is she bringing this up at this moment?

"No need, the king is fine."

"What you said yesterday was just a cover!"

Song Wan was not discouraged either.

Although the pulse check in the carriage that day was a bit hasty, she herself was still a little unsure.

But at the moment, she could only hold on to this glimmer of hope.

"Your Highness has been fighting in Mobei for many years. The climate there is harsh, so I imagine his health has suffered some damage."

"Last time in the carriage, I accidentally felt that the prince's pulse seemed to be a little abnormal."

"Your Highness is now the pillar of Tianqi. We must not be careless. It is better to let this humble lady confirm it."

Jun Jiuchen's mind quickly flashed back to the moment of doubt in Jiang Wanqiao's eyes when she tried to use the beauty trap to grab his wrist in the carriage yesterday.

Her medical skills do have some real talent...

So... she felt that finding the map was too difficult, so she wanted to seize this opportunity and use it as a bargaining chip instead of the map?

Since Song Wan might still be alive.

The hatred he has carried since childhood has recently developed some complications.

Of course, he has to keep this life well.

But his old illness has been around for a long time, so there is no need to rush.

At the moment, forcing Song Wan out was obviously more important to him than whether there was anything wrong with his pulse.

About seven days.

In his heart, he had actually already accepted Jiang Wanqiao's proposal. After all, he didn't want to delay the military operations in Mobei.

He brought up the picture of the lone goose simply because he wanted to use these seven days to exchange for a possibility.

Jun Jiuchen thought about it and stood up, saying quite firmly.

"The doctors at the Imperial Hospital have examined my health and found nothing amiss. Miss Jiang, please don't worry about it."

"Miss Jiang, do you have anything else to say?"

Song Wan didn't expect Jun Jiuchen to refuse so decisively and even tried to drive her away. She felt a little troubled.

Could it be... that I am really overthinking it?

But if an ordinary person hears a skilled doctor say that the pulse is unusual, he should confirm it no matter what.

Why did he...

Song Wan gritted her teeth secretly as her thoughts turned.

"I see."

"Now that we have concluded our discussion today, it is time for me to take my leave."

As Song Wan spoke, she followed Jun Jiuchen's movements and stood up slowly, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she raised her hand and poured herself a cup of tea.

Then he picked up the teapot, walked to Jun Jiuchen, filled the cup in front of him, and handed it to Jun Jiuchen.

"I had a very pleasant conversation with the prince today, and it was thanks to the prince's willingness to give the Jiang family this opportunity to prove themselves. I will definitely ask my father to do his best to find the painting for the prince and fulfill the wish of his friend."

"I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine, Your Highness! This is also a way to thank Jirentang for your help that day."

Jun Jiuchen looked at the wine glass handed to him, his eyebrows raised involuntarily under the mask, and he reached out to take it.

Then, just as he expected, when the cup was about to touch him, the woman's hand suddenly shook, and the water in the cup was about to spill onto his hand.

Is this really the idea? Jun Jiuchen thought about it and suddenly turned his outstretched hand to hold Song Wan's hand firmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Miss Jiang, please hold on tight!"

Song Wan, who was about to take out the handkerchief and exclaim "carelessly", and then take the opportunity to wipe him to check his pulse again, stiffened slightly for a moment.

As expected...it doesn't work?

But, this is not the only preparation she has!

Thinking of this, Song Wan suddenly poured the cup of tea that was being held steadily towards the person in front of him, and with the help of his other hand, he suddenly stretched out from his sleeve, and suddenly a silver light appeared.

A slender silver needle went straight to an acupuncture point on Jun Jiuchen's neck...

She knew that the Regent's Palace must be heavily guarded, and if she acted like this, someone would surely come over immediately.

But after this injection, Jun Jiuchen will be temporarily weak, and that short period of time may be enough for her...

As long as she confirmed that his pulse was indeed as he thought, he would not be able to pursue her rude behavior any further.

Unfortunately, just as Song Wan's hand was about to move, Jun Jiuchen quickly dodged the tea that was splashed towards him and accurately grabbed her hand that was holding the needle.

He exerted force on his hand, and the slender silver needle slipped from between her fingers that were forced open.

A hint of strange emotion flashed across Jun Jiuchen's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"So Miss Jiang came here today to assassinate me?"

Song Wan felt pain in his hand, and then a feeling of frustration suddenly surged into his heart.

She put away the smile on her face.

He said this with some gnashing of teeth.

"Since Your Majesty has seen through my intentions, why bother asking questions when you already know the answer?"

"I also have good intentions, for the sake of His Majesty's health."

Luoluo and Hongshang were frightened by this sudden change.

The young lady was fine, why did she start a fight with the Regent?

The two of them hurried forward and knelt on the ground together.

"Your Highness, how dare my young lady assassinate you? There must be some misunderstanding!"

"Please, Your Majesty, spare my young lady!"

Jun Jiuchen's eyes did not fall on the two girls.

He just stared quietly at the woman in front of him, whose expression became much more lively than before because of her exasperation. Suddenly, he was distracted for a moment.

Such an expression...

Such a sneak attack...

Too familiar, and... too much like that person!

Is this also what Song Wan taught her?

It seems that there is a reason why Song Wan gets along well with her.

All to achieve the goal, no matter the means!

Thinking of this, Jun Jiuchen's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and even the hand that was pulling Song Wan's wrist couldn't help but use a little more strength.

The voice was as cold as ice.

"Miss Jiang, there's no need to waste your time. What I hate most in my life is being schemed against!

"So, even if Miss Jiang really finds out what serious illness I have, I will not withdraw the conditions I just stated!"

"Even if it means death!"

"If Miss Jiang still wants to do this deal with me, then she'll have no choice but to go after the painting! If you have any other plans, I'll take back what I said today!"

"Miss Jiang... do you understand?"
