Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 283 Retrial of Queen Wei

Song Wan stayed in the mansion with Jun Jiuchen for a long time that day. She also went through the secret passage with him and went directly to her father's study.

Song Yi knew that the misunderstanding was resolved, so he didn't make things too difficult for Jun Jiuchen because of his previous disrespect to his future father-in-law.

After all, in his opinion, this matter was not done by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But this matter was caused by Song Yan, and it is also related to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Just like that, two days later, Jun Jiuchen brought Song Wan another good news.

Imperial Physician Qin has already arrived in the capital.

Let her accompany him to re-examine Queen Wei.

……

It is still a dark dungeon.

However, because it was early winter, the prison seemed increasingly damp and cold, and the coldness seemed to penetrate into people's bones. As soon as Song Wan stepped into the prison door, he shivered at the damp and cold breath that hit him in the face.

Then, a black cloak with body temperature and the scent of agarwood wrapped her whole body.

Jun Jiuchen pulled her over, tied her cloak with his own hands, then took her hand very naturally and walked in with her.

The iron door of the dungeon was pushed open, and the harsh creaking sound woke up Queen Wei who was curled up in the corner.

The darkness in the room was dispelled by the torches, and the flickering flames cast changing shadows on Queen Wei's face. Beneath her messy hair, she revealed a face that looked a little older than last time.

She looked at Jun Jiuchen who was walking in front of her, and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Isn't it annoying for the Regent to come to this dungeon in person again and again?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuchen simply signaled the servants behind him to bring a chair, and he sat down calmly with his robe fluttering.

"I know that Queen Wei does not want to talk to me."

He slowly turned the black jade ring on his hand, tilted his head to look at Song Wan beside him, his eyes softened a little.

"Look, I brought my princess here today."

"The last time she came to see you with me, she discovered something interesting... This princess has always been well-liked. Today, I will let her chat with Queen Wei."

"You are all women. I'm afraid that what Queen Wei doesn't want to say to me, she might not be willing to say to my wife..."

Seeing Jun Jiuchen's unusually calm appearance today, Queen Wei couldn't help but frown slightly.

She could feel that since the first time Jun Jiuchen saw her, there was undisguised hatred and murderous intent in his eyes.

She had never seen him so calm and composed, or even in the mood to "joke" with her.

But because of this, she suddenly became alert.

Because based on her many years of experience in the harem, if someone suddenly changes like this, it means he is either bluffing or... he has enough confidence.

Thinking of this, Queen Wei couldn't help but shift her gaze to the woman in front of her who was wrapped in a black cloak, with only her fair face exposed.

She naturally had an impression of this woman, but last time, she just followed Jun Jiuchen silently. Apart from taking her pulse before leaving, she did not make any other movements. She thought she was just a female doctor accompanying him.

Even though she thought so, Queen Wei still spoke with a hint of ridicule.

"Princess Regent?"

"It seems that the Regent's Five Elements Department is truly out of people to use. He actually sent a woman here to question them?"

As Queen Wei spoke, she looked at the wooden brocade box that Song Wan was holding in her hands clasped in front of her.

"Could it be that this princess possesses some torture instrument more powerful than the Five Elements Division's?"

She had heard of things like acupuncture in the palace before.

Since this woman knows medicine, it is not surprising that she knows these methods.

Song Wan looked at Empress Wei as she was looking at him, and walked slowly to a place not far in front of her and stopped.

"Don't worry, Queen. We know you are not afraid of death. We are not here to torture you today."

"There's just something I want to show the Queen."

As Song Wan spoke, she gently opened the wooden box in her hand. The hem of her black cloak swept across the wet ground and spread out as she squatted down.

"Does Her Majesty recognize this?"

Queen Wei looked at the gold and jade bracelet that was broken into three pieces in the black brocade box, and her cracked lips trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

This……

Isn’t this the token of love that Zizhan gave her?

What were they doing with the bracelet? Could it be that... they already knew the bracelet's origins?

However, she had worn this bracelet for more than 20 years, so she naturally would not argue with them about whether it was hers or not. She just suppressed the emotions that surged in her heart when she saw the bracelet and spoke calmly.

"How did my things end up in your hands?"

"It's good that Queen Wei recognized it. We knew this thing was extremely important to you, so we went through so much trouble to find it."

Song Wan picked up one of the pieces and placed it in front of Queen Wei. The white powder at the broken end gleamed in the firelight.

"Who would have thought that by chance I would discover the secret behind this bracelet, and that is why I had to come and ask for your advice, Your Majesty."

Queen Wei looked at the white powder pouring down with Song Wan's movements, but she just sneered.

"Do you think that by tampering with this bracelet, you can get me to speak up and frame Prince Huai for you?"

Song Wan blinked when she heard that, a look of just the right amount of confusion on her face.

"What do you mean, Queen?"

"Wasn't this bracelet a gift from Lingci? Even if there's something inside, how can it be related to King Huai?"

Queen Wei realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, but she continued speaking calmly.

"You keep asking me questions, aren't you just trying to get me to implicate Prince Huai? I know without having to guess!"

Song Wan was not surprised by Queen Wei's attitude.

"I see."

"But don't worry, Queen. Even if we did tamper with this thing, and we went to so much trouble to find it, you have to listen to me, right?"

Song Wan said this, looking at the broken jade at his fingertips.

"This white powder is called Fuxuezi. It's not a poison, as the Queen thinks. It's just a rare herb."

"And... it's not only non-toxic, but also beneficial to women's health..."

Queen Wei listened to Song Wan's words, but for a moment she was unsure of what she wanted to do.

Very good.

Of course, they were not trying to tell her how good the intentions of the person who gave her the bracelet were.

And just as she thought, Song Wan paused after saying this, and then suddenly changed the subject.

"But this thing is incompatible with mugwort! Especially... red mugwort!"

"If Empress Wei carries this with her at all times and constantly takes medicine containing red mugwort, over the years, her cold symptoms will not only not be alleviated, but her health will become increasingly damaged, leading to infertility."

"As far as I know, you take a special prescription from the Imperial Hospital every day to maintain your health, and red mugwort is the most important ingredient."

After hearing what Song Wan said, Queen Wei suddenly chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her laughter.

"After all this talk, aren't you trying to say that this bracelet was used by someone to harm me?"

She raised her skinny hand and tucked the scattered hair behind her ear.

"It's hard for you to come up with such a wonderful story with so many twists and turns!"
