Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 276 The Secret of the Bracelet

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of the Regent's Palace.

However, when she entered the Regent's Palace this time, Song Wan clearly discovered that the servants of the Regent's Palace were more respectful when they saw her than before.

Although they had never neglected them before.

But she could clearly feel that it was different...

After entering Jun Jiuchen's study smoothly, as expected, Jun Jiuchen was still looking down at the memorials. Song Wan thought, it was a good thing that he was not a playful person, otherwise he would be bored to death.

But this time, when he saw Song Wan coming in, Jun Jiuchen quickly put down the memorial in his hand. When his pair of lacquered eyes saw her, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed across them.

"Didn't you go to the Prime Minister's Residence? Why are you here?"

Song Wanzhi stood beside Jun Jiuchen and placed the brocade box in front of him.

Jun Jiuchen glanced at her somewhat depressed face.

"What's wrong? Didn't find anything?"

Song Wan nodded upon hearing this.

"I've tried everything I could think of. This thing really does look like an ordinary bracelet."

But after she finished saying this, she changed the subject.

"But... I do have an idea..."

"Since this bracelet doesn't look unusual from the outside... perhaps there's some secret hidden inside..."

But this thing is an important piece of evidence after all. She couldn't see it. Maybe it was because she was not good enough in academics. Maybe someone else would be able to see it.

If no problems are found after breaking it open, some evidence will disappear.

So, she can't make the decision.

Just as Song Wan's thoughts reached this point, she saw Jun Jiuchen calmly take out the bracelet from the brocade box and place it on the table in front of him. Then, he casually picked up the paperweight beside him...

He decisively smashed the bracelet down...

Then, the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on the table broke immediately.

Song Wan stared at the jade bracelet that was broken into two pieces in astonishment.

"you....."

He, just like that...

Smashed?

Jun Jiuchen simply put the paperweight back on the table with an indifferent expression.

He had already asked someone from the Five Elements Department to check the jade bracelet. If she couldn't find anything unusual, then there was no point in keeping the jade bracelet. Since she had doubts, there was no harm in smashing it.

Thinking of this, he raised his chin towards Song Wan.

"Why don't you take a look?"

Song Wan didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just collected her thoughts, walked to Jun Jiuchen's chair, bent down and lowered her head to check the bracelet on the table.

Seeing this, Jun Jiuchen moved to the side and suddenly pressed her onto his large armchair.

Song Wan was stunned by his action and couldn't help but look sideways at him. She saw that he was calm and composed, quietly watching her check.

She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she turned her head again and looked at the bracelet carefully.

Soon, she caught a glimpse of a very thin crack at one of the broken ends of the jade bracelet.

After the gap was opened, some fine white powder soon appeared inside.

Song Wan took some powder and sniffed it. Then, her heart skipped a beat and she involuntarily turned her head to look at Jun Jiuchen.

"Your Highness... this smell seems to be from snowflakes!"

Jun Jiuchen didn't know medicine, so naturally he didn't know what the Fuxuezi she was talking about was.

"poisonous?"

But this time, Song Wan did not continue speaking. He just stood up quickly, took a white teacup from the side of the room, poured a cup of water into it, and then walked back to the chair, pinched some white powder and put it into the teacup.

However, after the powder fell into the water, it did not melt, but instead quickly condensed into one place.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Song Wan finally confirmed his guess. He turned around and looked at Jun Jiuchen again, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Your Highness, it's really Fuxuezi!"

"Poisonous?" Jun Jiuchen just repeated these two words very patiently.

Song Wan shook her head.

"No, this thing is not only non-toxic, but also very beneficial to women's health. However, this thing is incompatible with mugwort! Especially... red mugwort!"

"And when the prince took me to check on Queen Wei's pulse earlier, the Imperial Physician Qin used only red mugwort! And in a very heavy dose!"

"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 Song Wan spoke, she felt that King Huai's intentions were truly terrifying.

He avoided using drugs such as musk that could directly cause infertility in women, and instead used this roundabout method.

Firstly, medicinal herbs such as musk, regardless of their strong smell or color, would be very easy to be discovered if placed in this bracelet, but the color of the snow-white seeds blends perfectly with the jade bracelet and has no smell at all.

Even if Queen Wei accidentally broke the jade bracelet one day, no one would notice it unless they looked carefully.

Even...even if he noticed it, he could cover it up with clever words.

Because this thing is not only precious, but also beneficial to women's health...

As Empress Wei had a cold body, using mugwort was the most effective treatment. In addition, due to her noble status, it was reasonable for Imperial Physician Qin to give her red mugwort, which was more precious than ordinary mugwort. No one could find fault with him!

Thinking of this, Song Wan felt a chill in his heart.

That day in the dungeon, she saw how Queen Wei believed in and protected Prince Huai, and she even thought that there might have been some true love between the two of them.

But now it seems.

Prince Huai actually started plotting against Queen Wei when she first entered the Eastern Palace...

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuchen fixed his gaze on the broken bracelet on the table.

"It seems that we can re-examine Queen Wei soon.

"But the bracelet is broken, and she hasn't had it with her for a long time. If we only rely on this bracelet, with her current thinking, she might just think we've tampered with it, deliberately framing King Huai and tricking her into revealing the truth."

"We still need the testimony of Imperial Physician Qin to be more certain."

Song Wan also understood the meaning of Jun Jiuchen's words.

After all, the last time she met Queen Wei, her attitude was too firm.

She willingly endured the endless darkness in the dungeon that could drive a person crazy, but refused to say a word about King Huai. Naturally, she would not believe their one-sided words.

Only by throwing all the evidence in front of her can we make her mind collapse when she is least prepared.

However, hearing Jun Jiuchen's confident words, Song Wan's eyes lit up.

"Has the prince found the imperial physician Qin?"

Jun Jiuchen just looked at Song Wan, took her hand and sat down next to him again, then slowly and carefully wiped the remaining powder off his hands while speaking in response.

"Yes."

"People are already heading back, and we'll probably be able to enter Beijing in three or four days."

Song Wan couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this.

After waiting for so long, we can finally get hold of something to hold against King Huai.
