After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Song Wenyuan glanced at the shameless Xu Chengjin, his slightly pale face showing a faint smile, "When did you make up the truth?"

"When Dean Zhang came..." Xu Chengjin had almost finished speaking when he realized that he had been tricked by the other party. He quickly tried to cover up the truth, "Bah, bah, bah, what do you mean by made up? That was the truth! The truth! When did the truth have to be made up? You know your own physical condition very well. Don't you notice that you are not the same as before?"

"It's quite different." Song Wenyuan raised his eyelids and responded indifferently. Just when the other party was quietly relieved, he suddenly spoke again, "This feeling... is the same as the last time after Ciguang Temple. I asked you at that time, but your answer to me was almost the same. So, Xu Chengjin, my poison was cured at that time, right? You were not in Ciguang Temple at that time, and the poison was cured by her alone. She didn't want me to know, so you kept it from me and only used words like 'almost the same' to evade me, right?"

Xu Chengjin hid his fear that his heart almost stopped by lowering his head to drink tea. He racked his brains to figure out how to justify himself. Song Wenyuan was already analyzing, "If it weren't for the fact that Dean Zhang couldn't get away with it this time, you would still use the same trick again and pretend that nothing happened. Then when I found something unusual and asked you to feel my pulse, you would continue to tell me that it's just about the same, right?"

Master Xu scratched the back of his head and smiled perfunctorily, "How could it be... How could I help her hide it from you? Between you and her, I must be on your side! How long have I known her, right? Haha..."

"Really?" Song Wenyuan smiled with his eyebrows lowered. His smile was pale and weak, and a little lonely. He said, "Do you remember that day when we went to chase Liu Mazi, she said two words before she fainted in my arms. At that time, I asked you what she said, and you told me that you didn't know, and that it was just nonsense... But Xu Chengjin, at that time, she called someone's name, Nanyin... If I remember correctly, that was your alias on Zhixuan Mountain, right?"

"Haha... Really? That's true? Why don't I remember it?" For the first time in his life, Master Xu felt so guilty that he couldn't even hold the cup steady. The smile he forced out of his mouth was uglier than crying. He stammered and evaded the question, "Maybe, maybe I told her about it accidentally?"

Even he himself did not believe this. If he was such a casual and "careless" person, the identity of "Nan Yin" would have been known to the world long ago.

But what can be said now? Xu Chengjin lowered his head and held the teacup in both hands. He wanted to jump up and rush out to yell at Yuan Ge: What did he say? He said he couldn't fool Song Wenyuan, right? What should I do now? Tell him that your wife is not your wife, or continue to rack his brains to make up some lies that may be full of loopholes in Song Wenyuan's eyes?

As for whether you can get away with it, it all depends on whether the other party is willing to pretend to be confused and be evaded.

Finally, with the other party's expression of "I'll just wait and see how you explain it to me", Master Xu decided to adopt a roundabout policy, "None of this is the most important thing right now. The most important thing now is how to deal with Dean Zhang... Don't blame me for not reminding you, he's probably been dreaming about how to dig out some treasonous things from you and report them to the emperor these days."

Song Wenyuan lowered his eyebrows and looked at the purple blood vessels under the almost pale skin on the brocade quilt, and suddenly smiled, "I heard that Dean Zhang has the intention to retire and return home recently..."

"That's what happened." Xu Chengjin knew a little bit about the news from the Imperial Hospital. "I heard that the memorials have been submitted several times, but they were all rejected by His Majesty. But this time the old man has made up his mind to leave, and he will probably leave after the New Year. If you want to do anything, just hurry up." Although Zhang Yuanshou also followed orders, when did Song Wenyuan become so reasonable? Everyone involved in this matter, probably no one can expect to have a good life...

Thinking of retiring after success? What are you thinking about?

Song Wenyuan sat on the bed and twirled his fingertips gently, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle and calm, "Well... since we have been discovered, let's take this opportunity to deal with this old guy first."

The tone of his words was somewhat casual, as if he was saying, "Since the weather is nice today, let's go fishing in the suburbs." However, Xu Chengjin felt a chill on his back for no reason. He vaguely felt that the Imperial Hospital would not be peaceful this winter... He tightened the teacup on his fingertips. The tea had already cooled down. The coolness of the cup was transmitted to his body through his palm. He sighed softly, "What do you want to do?"

He himself had no grudges against the Imperial Hospital, and even had many opportunities to interact with them because of their expertise. He also plundered a lot of treasures from the Imperial Hospital in a joking manner. Dean Zhang was usually strict and had a bad temper, but to Xu Chengjin, he had a relationship of both teacher and mentor... But he would not speak to persuade Song Wenyuan because of this. After all, the Nine-Turn Heartbreak Powder was indeed fed by the old man himself, and the bowls of poison were also handed to Song Wenyuan by Dean Zhang himself.

The poison was not applied to him, so he had no right to stop it. He just couldn't help but sigh.

Song Wenyuan glanced at him and brought the subject back to the topic, "Since she was the one who detoxified me, why didn't she want to tell me? Chengjin, since you still consider me a friend of many years, you shouldn't hide such an important thing from me... Is this poison harmful to herself?" The last speculation rolled in his throat again and again before he said it out loud. He didn't want to be kept in the dark, but he was afraid that the answer would be yes.

When Lord Song gets serious, he always likes to call people by their full names. At this time, unless it is necessary, it is best to tell the truth.

Xu Chengjin glanced at Song Wenyuan and slowly put down the teacup in his hand. "Tell me the truth." "No, she was just worried that you didn't trust her medical skills and would not cooperate with the treatment after knowing it... In fact, her medical skills are indeed average, but her acupuncture skills are very good, better than mine... But she can't do the detoxification alone, so what I said at first was not a lie to you. She had no choice that time at Ciguang Temple, so she took the risk. The reason why she didn't tell you was because she was afraid that you had just woken up and your mind was not clear. You were confused after listening too much, and then said the wrong thing in front of Dean Zhang."

Seven parts true and three parts false. This time, Mr. Xu had his hands in his pockets, his brows lowered, and his voice was very steady.

Even Song Wenyuan almost believed it...
