Chapter 119
First Show of Strength
On this day, when Jin Wanlin entered the palace and saw the queen leaving, she happened to meet Song Baochai who was admiring flowers in the back garden. She wanted to pretend not to see her and walk away, but the other party took the initiative to say hello to her.
In order to avoid being gossiped about and causing trouble for the queen, Jin Wanlin had no choice but to step forward and salute, but Song Baochai was very easygoing to her and ignored her courtesy.
"Miss Jin and the Empress have a very good relationship. Every time Miss Jin comes, the Empress will be happy for a long time."
Song Baochai smiled gently and touchingly, but Jin Wanlin was already immune to these compliments and just responded casually: "The Queen has a gentle temperament, not to mention that we grew up together, so our relationship is naturally good."
"I heard that Concubine Song had many brothers and sisters in her family, and I was deeply touched by the friendship between brothers and sisters."
Hearing this, Song Baochai nodded in agreement, and then found a few topics that women often talked about, but after a while, he became familiar with Jin Wanlin.
As the two chatted, they unknowingly started talking about Jun Tingsheng. Seeing Jin Wanlin's happy face, Song Baochai continued to praise: "By the way, before I entered the palace, I heard many people say that Miss Jin and
The prince, the talented man, and the beautiful woman are destined to be married by God."
"Now that I have been granted marriage by the Holy One, I think the two of them are a perfect match. When the right time and auspicious day is chosen, the two of us will be married."
Jin Wanlin now loves to hear words related to Jun Tingsheng, and asked excitedly: "Is it true? Does your Majesty think so too?"
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Song Baochai pretended to sigh helplessly, "It's a pity that my maiden's sister has admired the prince since she was a child and always likes to pester him. I just hope that I won't cause you any trouble in the future."
I saw Jin Wanlin's expression suddenly change, "Is the little sister you are talking about your biological sister? Or..."
"Ms. Jin is asking this question. My biological sister has a gentle personality and would not do such a shameless thing."
Saying that, Song Baochai sighed again, "The little sister I mentioned is Ling'er."
"When she was a child, she was withdrawn and didn't like to get close to others. The prince saw her pitifully so he visited her in his spare time. Who knew that she began to admire the prince from then on, and now she even pesters him regardless of the occasion."
When Jin Wanlin heard that such a thing happened, her impression of Song Baoling's intelligence immediately changed.
Thinking back to the time when I was so complacent about her blessing, now it seems that I feel even more fooled.
"I treat her like my own sister, but she is plotting against me like this behind my back. It's really very scheming."
Song Baochai saw that his anger had been aroused, so he continued to add fuel to the fire: "Miss Jin, calm down, this little cousin of mine is indeed not a good person, and you need to be more patient in the future.
"Patience? What a beautiful thought!"
Jin Wanlin slapped the table angrily and stood up. She didn't know before, so forget it, but now that she knows Song Baoling's character, she won't swallow her anger.
Two days later, Song Baichuan returned to his mansion with a solemn expression. After staying alone in the study for a long time, he went to Song Baoling's courtyard to look for someone.
"Execution?"
Song Baoling looked at him in surprise, remembering that Jun Tianlin did send someone to send a message to her to watch Zhan Ping be beheaded. She thought he just wanted to scare her, but she didn't expect that he would actually do it.
"I rejected it in public today in the main hall, but..."
Seeing that Song Baichuan's face was extremely ugly, Song Baoling guessed that he must have been embarrassed in the morning, so he comforted him: "Dad, it's okay, it's just an execution. I've even broken into a bandit's den, this little thing won't scare me."
The father and daughter looked at each other. After a moment, Song Baichuan sighed and stood up, "It's almost time. Get ready and let's go."
"good."
When the two arrived at the execution ground, Jun Tianlin had been waiting for a long time and did not show much surprise when he saw Song Baoling appear.
"Miss Song, this is the position I specially selected for you. I guarantee that you can see every detail clearly."
Song Baoling smiled at him, and then walked over with a calm face. She knew that Jun Tianlin just wanted to take the opportunity to examine her.
"The time has come for execution!"
The executioner picked up the big knife and raised it high. As he watched the knife rise and fall, Song Baoling watched the whole process without blinking and then fainted.
"Ling'er!"
Song Baichuan was so frightened that he quickly supported her and said, "Linger, don't be afraid. Dad will take you back right now."
With that said, he bent down and planned to pick up Song Baoling, but Jun Tianlin next to him stopped him.
"No, Lord Marquis."
"Why not?"
"The Holy One is also very concerned about Ling Qianjin, but as a general, she really shouldn't be so timid. I think she should start to learn to adapt."
Jun Tianlin's words were reasonable and well-founded, and even moved out of the current Holy Emperor. Song Baichuan, who was resentful, could not say anything, but he couldn't bear it when he looked at his beloved daughter in his arms.
"Cough cough cough..."
Song Baoling coughed suddenly, and after a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two people surrounding him, and asked in confusion: "Dad, why do you look at me like this?"
Song Baichuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her waking up. "You fainted just now. How do you feel now? If you feel too uncomfortable, let's go home."
"I'm fine."
Song Baoling straightened up and took a breath, then looked at Jun Tianlin: "Ling'er made the prince laugh."
"Miss Song is serious. After all, this is your first time to see beheading. But as a general, this courage is not enough."
"Yes, the prince's lesson is right. Ling'er will definitely work hard to overcome it in the future."
While the two were talking, Song Baoling accidentally saw that the execution place was uneven and looked vaguely strange.
"Your Majesty, why is the place of execution like that? Does the public have anything to say about this kind of thing?"
Hearing this, Jun Tianlin looked doubtfully at the place she was talking about, and when he saw the ground, he also noticed something was wrong.
"Someone, come and see what's going on?"
After a while, the person who went to check came back and reported: "Go back to the prince, the place where the execution was just carried out has been tampered with, and there is a secret cell hidden underground. It has been found that one of the prisoners on death row has been replaced."
Jun Tianlin was furious when he heard this, "You dare to play the trick of substituting others under my nose. Send an order to investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Yes, my subordinate will do it immediately."
After the arrangements were made, Jun Tianlin's eyes fell on Song Baoling again, but this time it was different from before. Now he admired Song Baoling a little more.
"Although Miss Song is young, she is very alert. No wonder I thought you were extremely smart when I first met you. Now it seems that I have not misjudged you."
Song Baoling smiled lightly when he heard this, "My lord, you are ridiculous. What happened to Ling'er just now is just good luck. I really can't afford the word 'extraordinary intelligence'."
Hearing Jun Tianlin's words, Song Baichuan instantly became alert, and immediately used his internal power to touch Song Baoling to make her fall asleep, and then found an excuse to take her away quickly.
