Chapter 109 I’m afraid the regent has other plans

When Song Baichuan was approaching the capital, Jun Tingsheng happened to arrive to join him. After ordering the team to stop and rest, the two came to a quiet and uninhabited place to talk.

"What? The Holy Emperor and the Regent went to the Song Mansion?"

Jun Tingsheng nodded with a heavy expression and continued: "From the look of the Holy Master, it seems that he does not know what is going on. I think it is probably Jun Tianlin who instigated it."

"But Jun Tianlin seemed to know that Ling'er was pretending to be injured, and he also deliberately tested him during this period. Although Ling'er was lucky enough to get over it, his doubts must not have been dispelled. I'm worried..."

At this point, Jun Tingsheng paused. Song Baichuan looked at him and continued: "I'm afraid the regent has other plans."

The two looked at each other, and they knew that there would be a tough battle ahead, an overt and covert battle with Song Baoling as the main force, resisting Jun Tianlin.

Capital Palace——

"Your Majesty, although it is a good thing that Song Baichuan has made another military exploit this time, your Majesty cannot help but be vigilant."

Jun Tianlin pretended to be worried and said to Jun Yelan who was sitting on the dragon throne: "When Song Baichuan let go of the enemy general, we still haven't found out whether he rebelled."

"Even though he has not marched or fought in the past five years, the people still praise him constantly. Now that he has made great achievements again, I am afraid that his arrogance will be even greater."

Jun Yelan's face was a little ugly. When he suppressed Song Baichuan's military power, he was worried that his achievements would overwhelm him. This time he successfully suppressed the bandits, which will probably deepen his status in the hearts of the people.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Xuanping and the Crown Prince of Chengyang Palace have entered the palace to meet the Holy One and are already waiting outside the imperial study."

The words of the imperial guard interrupted Jun Yelan's thoughts. He raised his eyes and looked out the door and asked, "Where are the 10,000 elite soldiers he leads?"

"Back to the Holy Lord, after Xuanpinghou arrived, he asked the army to return to the camp in the suburbs. Only he and the Crown Prince returned to the capital."

Jun Tianlin was very surprised that Song Baichuan did not make a big splash. Just now he had reminded Jun Yelan to be vigilant, but Song Baichuan's actions surprised him.

It seemed that his visit to the Song Mansion today had alerted them.

Song Baichuan and Jun Tingsheng walked into the imperial study. When they saw Jun Tianlin, they both frowned slightly.

"Song Aiqing, I really read you right. The water bandits downstream have been entrenched for many years and are difficult to get rid of. Your success in suppressing the bandits this time can be said to have made great contributions."

Hearing this, Song Baichuan bent down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty's words are serious. It is the duty of a humble minister to share His Majesty's worries."

Jun Yelan was very satisfied with his neither humble nor arrogant attitude. He never liked compliments. Compared with other courtiers, Song Baichuan could tolerate this.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to report."

Jun Tingsheng saw his eyes turning to her, and then continued: "Although this bandit suppression was a complete victory, there is something fishy in it."

"Evil Eagle, the leader of the water bandits, was assassinated by a hidden arrow while being escorted back to the capital. Before his death, he happened to have information to disclose, so I think..."

"Are you sure what he was telling you before he died was information?" Jun Yelan interrupted him expressionlessly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Is it possible that he was just acting with you to get away with it?"

"I heard that this man is vicious and vicious, and countless people have died under his sword. It is understandable for someone to seek revenge."

Jun Tingsheng didn't expect that he would think so, and subconsciously retorted: "I hope your Majesty will forgive me, but I feel that there are too many suspicious things about this matter. If there is really someone behind the scenes, wouldn't it be an indulgence of the real culprit?"

Seeing him contradicting him, Jun Yelan frowned in displeasure, "You mean, I don't know right from wrong?"

Seeing this, Song Baichuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty has always been strict in his actions. He would be overly nervous about even the smallest problems, but what he just said did not mean to conflict with His Majesty."

At this time, Jun Tianlin, who had been watching the show, also came forward and echoed: "What Marquis Xuanping said is reasonable. After all, the prince is young and energetic, and he is not comprehensive in all aspects."

Jun Tingsheng originally wanted to argue with reason, but after receiving Song Baichuan's look, he had to bend down and salute: "Just now, Cai Chen was in a hurry and spoke nonsense. Please be punished by the Holy Spirit."

Seeing him lowering his head to admit his mistake, Jun Yelan's expression softened a lot, "The punishment will be waived. From now on, restrain your temper and don't make me angry all day long."

"Yes, I obey."

After the atmosphere relaxed, several people returned to their previous expressions. Jun Yelan suddenly remembered something and looked at Jun Tingsheng unconsciously.

"By the way, you are not young now. I plan to find a match for you after the draft. What do you think?"

Hearing that Jun Yelan wanted to grant him another marriage, Jun Tingsheng's heart suddenly sank. Just when he was about to refuse, Jun Tianlin on the side said first: "If the Holy One cares about him so much, he will definitely not go against His Majesty's wishes."

"Little nephew, is your cousin right?"

Hearing this, Jun Tingsheng gritted his teeth secretly. Under the current situation, if he refused, he would only be charged with violating the holy will, not to mention that Jun Yelan was already dissatisfied with him just now.

"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty."

Song Baichuan did not express this. He knew early on that this was inevitable, even though he knew what Jun Tingsheng was thinking.

After coming out of the palace, Jun Tingsheng was delayed for a while because he met an acquaintance. By the time he arrived at the Song Mansion, Song Baichuan had already gone to see Song Baoling.

"Ling'er."

Song Baoling was leaning on the bed. When she saw Jun Tingsheng come in, she smiled and said, "I heard what dad said, congratulations."

Congratulations?

Jun Tingsheng looked at her and frowned, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "What are you congratulating me for?"

Song Baoling tilted her head in confusion, "Are you kidding me? He said that the Holy One will grant you a marriage."

He also said, "Let me keep a distance from you in the future to avoid making people comment."

Song Baoling didn't say the last sentence. When she was told this by Song Baichuan, she felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

"Why do you want to congratulate me? The marriage is not of my own free will, I..."

Jun Tingsheng stared at her angrily, the expression on his face gradually collapsed, and finally he turned around and left without looking back.

Looking at his angrily leaving figure, Song Baoling felt a little baffled for a moment, but thinking that he was about to be married, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

The second room in the Song Mansion, Li has been busy looking for someone to train her since Song Baochai's name was included in the draft list.

Song Baochai complained all day long, but he always put on airs against Song Baozhu inadvertently, and even bossed her around.

"You stinky girl! How dare you put on airs in front of me? If I hadn't been tricked, who would have let her enter the palace!"

Song Baozhu was so angry that she threw the potted plant on the ground. She could not be suppressed by Song Baochai, she had to find a way to change everything.
