Chapter 185 No Promise
Chapter 185 No Promise
The crime of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was soon proven to be irrefutable under investigation by the Five Elements Department.
Pei Ming and several deputy generals who helped him poison the enemy were all sentenced to death and executed in the autumn. Pei Qingyan and her mother and son were temporarily detained in Jingzhao Yin and would be exiled after Pei Ming was executed.
Although Shen Jiahe finally received the divorce letter that Su Ziyao obtained for her, the empress dowager and the new emperor did not object to Jun Jiuchen's decision to keep her in solitary confinement until she gave birth to her unborn child.
All of Ningyuan Hou's properties were also sealed off, including Zuixianlou, of course.
It was at this time that the Jiang family's pharmacy finally opened.
Early in the morning, many people gathered in front of the drugstore, and it was very lively.
It’s because Jun Jiuchen said that he would come in person today to write an inscription for the Jiang family pharmacy.
At this time, the news that the Regent was in love with Miss Jiang and that he was not disfigured at all was also spreading.
Jiang Zheng and Liu Shi were relatively calm when they saw this scene and listened to the congratulations and discussions of the people around them.
After all, my daughter said that the Regent was not really interested in her, but had to put on this show for some reasons, so they could rest assured.
Not long after, Jun Jiuchen's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Song Wan looked at him from afar and saw that he was wearing a brand new jet-black robe embroidered with gold. The tassels on the lapels swayed lightly. Upon closer inspection, the dragon pattern embroidered with gold thread was lifelike, as if it could take off into the sky at any time.
And what he wore on his face...
It was the golden mask she had given him at first, revealing his angular jaw and half of his face.
It made him look extremely noble and dignified, and compared to the terrifying ghost face he had before, he seemed like a completely different person.
Song Wan felt that his vision was really good. This mask seemed to be tailor-made for him.
only……
Thinking of the hand that held hers in the carriage that day, she felt her palms getting slightly warm...
Amidst the commotion, Jun Jiuchen quickly wrote the three characters "Mingxin Hall" in person under the gaze of everyone.
This name was chosen by Song Wan. After all, the prescription came from the old man Lu Ming. She felt a little guilty, so she used the "Ming" in his name.
Although the people were disappointed that they did not see the true face of the Regent, many people soon flocked in because Mingxin Hall announced a half-price offer on the first day of opening.
This caused many drugstore owners who came to watch to become red-eyed.
"This is truly bizarre! Why would you buy medicine when you're not sick? You think it's some kind of food, and you're not afraid of bringing bad luck!"
"That's right. This Mingxin Hall has just opened, and the efficacy of the medicine is still unknown. It's ridiculous to blindly pursue cheap prices!"
"The Mobei Army has already been tested, and now the Regent has personally appeared to guarantee it, so they naturally feel at ease..."
It's just jealousy.
Seeing the grand opening of Mingxin Hall today, not only the Prince Regent came in person, but also several dignitaries including the Minister of War and the Vice Minister of War, also asked the servants in the mansion to send gifts for congratulations, so no one dared to have any other thoughts.
At this time, after the pharmacy was officially opened, Song Wan got on the carriage of the Regent's Palace and left with Jun Jiuchen.
After just a few days of not seeing each other, Song Wan found herself feeling a little uncomfortable when she was alone with him in the same space again. She could only look at Jun Jiuchen as if nothing had happened and make small talk.
"Your Highness has come here in person today, giving the Jiang family enough respect. Thank you very much, Your Highness."
Jun Jiuchen only glanced at the way she sat too straight, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Miss Jiang, it seems a bit strange to say that... After all..."
Jun Jiuchen paused and looked straight into her eyes until he felt that she was sitting more upright, then he continued.
"Your father paid so much money, this... is what your Jiang family deserves."
Song Wan felt a little relieved when she saw that he didn't say anything else that could spark people's imagination.
No matter why Jun Jiuchen suddenly became interested in her, for her now, maintaining a purely cooperative relationship with this person is actually the safest thing to do.
But... looking at the face in front of her, she suddenly regretted picking this mask for him.
because of this……
It's completely in line with her aesthetic point...
Song Wan felt that she might need to stay away from this person, because her intuition told her that this person... was somewhat dangerous.
If she allowed herself to fall, who knew if she would be inexplicably shot again...
Song Wan thought about it, suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind, forced a gentle smile that belonged to Jiang Wanqiao on her face, and said with lowered eyebrows.
"Then the prince must give the Jiang family a chance."
"By the way, Your Highness's physical condition is much better than I had hoped. Now that most of the toxins in his body have dissipated, it will only take a month at most for Your Highness to no longer need acupuncture and moxibustion. He can just take medicinal baths supplemented with decoctions."
"I will prepare the medicine and have it delivered to the Regent's Palace on time. Your Highness can take it on time."
Jun Jiuchen raised his eyebrows when he heard what Song Wan said.
End acupuncture early?
Is she scared by him and planning to hide from him?
I didn’t expect that…
She is so useless now.
Wasn't she quite bold in matters between men and women before? She was good with him, and with...
Yun Zheng too.
Now, look what she did, just because of a few ambiguous words.
Could it be... that he was bitten by a snake one day?
It seems that even with all the understanding he had of her, it would be difficult for her to open her heart to him...
We need to put in more effort.
Thinking of this, Jun Jiuchen just continued with a smile.
"The king knows."
……
In the following days, Song Wan went to the Regent's Palace every five days to give Jun Jiuchen acupuncture, and stayed in the palace to concentrate on studying the "toxicity" of Yao Peng.
Song Wan actually had a selfish motive in this matter.
What happened in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion that day, whether it was Song Yan's refutation of her words in a few words, or Su Ziyao's false accusations against her without any evidence, made her understand one thing more and more.
That is... she has to find a higher status for herself.
And this Yaoping is a good opportunity.
As for Chen Tai, he has been recuperating at home since he was rescued by Song Wan. Knowing that he has caused trouble for Song Wan again, Chen Tai feels quite guilty. If he chose to be loyal to Song Wan in order to redeem Shuangshuang, now he is completely devoted to Song Wan.
But Song Wan felt a little guilty towards Chen Tai because she still couldn't tell him the truth about Nie Shuangshuang.
After all, Jun Jiuchen said that the envoys from Mobei were already preparing to set off for the capital. If Chen Tai became worried and panicked, and then revealed the fact that they already knew the current situation because of a momentary impulse, then Jun Jiuchen's deployment would be ruined.
Besides, Nie Shuangshuang can't live without Yao Peng now... Even if she told Chen Tai, it would be of no use.
She could only hope that she could develop an effective prescription to relieve Yaoping's addiction symptoms as soon as possible.
But maybe plans cannot keep up with changes.
Song Wan had just figured out some clues when a piece of news came.
Su Ziyao and Nie Shuangshuang are dead.
They died together in Hongxiuzhao.
