What’s the secret behind this?

The atmosphere cooled down instantly. Song Baoling lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, knowing that Jun Yelan most likely wanted to use her for something, so she must not agree.

Furthermore, Jin Wanlin also mentioned the Crown Prince of Jin Kingdom yesterday. It seems that the target person is this Crown Prince, so it cannot be related to him.

"Miss Song, you also know that receiving guests from all over the world is a big deal. If the Holy One can entrust you with this matter, it means that he knows that you have this ability."

I saw Jun Tianlin staring at Song Baoling with sharp eyes. After a pause, he continued: "You refuse so firmly, is there something hidden in it?"

Song Baoling's face did not change when she heard this, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. My daughter just knows that she is not capable enough and is worried that she will miss the important event of the Holy One. There is no hidden secret."

"Do you really think so?" Jun Tianlin asked back. Before Song Baoling could answer, he pretended to suddenly realize: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that Marquis Xuanping was reported to be treasonous and treasonous twice, both of which seemed to be related to Jin Guo.

related."

"Now that Miss Song refuses to receive envoys from all over the world, is it because she is worried that getting involved with Jin Guo will put your father in an embarrassing situation?"

Song Baoling's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't expect Jun Tianlin to threaten her with the fact that her father was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy. Those two false accusations were dismissed hastily. Now that the old matter is brought up again, I'm afraid...

Furthermore, Jun Yelan seemed to agree with Jun Tianlin's approach. It is possible that they had already discussed this matter to blackmail him.

"My little girl's father has lived an upright life. He was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and has been found out by the Holy One. Why does the prince need to bring up the old matter again."

After saying that, Song Baoling bowed deeply to Jun Yelan: "Your Majesty, my daughter is willing to be responsible for receiving envoys from various countries. Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity."

Seeing this, Jun Yelan's expression softened, and then he opened his thin lips slightly: "I have high hopes for you, you must handle this matter well."

"Yes, my little girl will certainly live up to her expectations."

After the matter was settled, Jun Yelan had no reason to keep Song Baoling anymore, so he asked her to go back and continue to accompany Song Baochai.

I thought I would be able to calm down for a few days after this incident, but unexpectedly, another big event happened next, leaving Song Baoling without any time to breathe.

The next morning——

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

A man in official robes came to the front of the palace. Jun Tingsheng took a quick look and recognized him as the imperial censor Leng Yuangui. This man was Concubine Leng's cousin and was good at calculating. Many people in the court were in the same party with him.

"Today I am going to meet with Vice-General Wen Jing. He abused lynching in the army, which caused panic among the soldiers in the army. It is very likely that he was instigated by the Crown Prince of Chengyang."

Jun Tingsheng frowned when he heard this. The Wen Jing mentioned by Leng Yuanqi was previously Song Baichuan's subordinate and later followed him. Although this person has a stubborn personality, he is not a ruthless person who does not distinguish between right and wrong.

"Is what you said true?"

"Your Majesty, if this matter had not been groundless, I would not have mentioned it to Your Majesty today."

Upon seeing this, Jun Tianlin turned to look at Jun Tingsheng and angrily said: "Life in the military camp is already difficult, and soldiers have to train every day, not to mention risking their lives on the battlefield."

"As a general, not only is he not considerate of his subordinates, but he also abuses lynching. This is against the style of a general. It will also chill the hearts of the soldiers. Once on the battlefield, how can we still win?!"

The courtiers in the main hall were talking a lot, and Jun Tingsheng walked to the front of the hall and saluted, "Your Majesty, I don't know that this happened in the army because of my negligence, but I think it is impossible for Vice General Wen Jing to do this because of his character."

When Leng Yuanqi heard this, he immediately sneered: "The deputy general is your subordinate, so you will naturally speak for him, maybe... or you will acquiesce in his abuse of lynching."

"No matter what, since something like this happened in the army, as a general, you can't escape the involvement."

Jun Tianlin also insisted on this matter and teamed up with Leng Yuanyan to question him in public: "Since he is your subordinate, how are you going to deal with this person?"

Jun Tingsheng saw the intention of the two men and did not answer them with a cold face. Instead, he saluted Jun Yelan on the high platform: "Your Majesty, there is currently no evidence to prove that Wen Jing abused lynching, and there are many doubts about this matter."

"I hope that Your Majesty will have mercy on me and allow me to investigate this matter thoroughly. I promise to give an explanation to Your Majesty and the soldiers."

After Jun Yelan was silent for a moment, he directly ordered: "Leng Yuangui, I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly. As for you..."

Having said this, he turned away and looked at Jun Tingsheng, "This matter will be handed over to Leng Yuanqi for investigation. I allow you to investigate together. If there is any malpractice for personal gain during this period, I will definitely punish you."

Jun Tingsheng clenched his fists and bowed his head resignedly: "I thank you, Your Majesty."

After going to court, all civil and military officials left the palace and returned to the palace. Jun Tingsheng was stopped by Leng Yuangui at the palace gate.

"I was just discussing things in the palace. Your Majesty, please don't hate me for this."

"Leng Yushi is serious. Wen Jing is my subordinate. Naturally, I will not stand by and watch this matter. If he really abuses lynching, I will act in accordance with the law, but I will not let him be framed."

After saying that, Jun Tingsheng turned and left. He had to go to the military camp first to understand the situation.

"The Crown Prince is finally here. The Marquis has been waiting for a long time."

When Pei Qi saw Jun Tingsheng, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The Marquis knows what happened in the morning and is waiting for you to discuss countermeasures together."

Jun Tingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, because this matter had nothing to do with Song Baichuan. Given how much he hated himself, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to help.

The two of them came to the house while talking. Pei Qi stopped at the door and said, "Your Majesty, please go in. My subordinates will guard here."

Jun Tingsheng entered the room and saw Song Baichuan. He was about to say thank you, but the other party waved his hand to stop him: "No need to say more, I already know everything. Sit down."

The two sat opposite each other at the table, and Song Baichuan continued: "I briefly understood before you came that Wen Jing has been caught now, and you may not be able to see him for a while."

"In addition, I suspect that this move was deliberately targeted at you by the Leng family. Of course, I don't rule out the possibility that someone will interfere with it."

Jun Tingsheng nodded in agreement, thought for a moment and then asked: "Who was the person who was lynched?"

"That man is just an ordinary soldier in the army. His name is Sun Qiang. I asked Pei Qi to inquire about it. It seems that he was seriously injured and may be disabled."

"Did you say that Wen Jing gave the order?"

"Sun Qiang himself said so, and several soldiers have seen it, but they were all vague and couldn't explain the cause."

Song Baichuan sighed solemnly, "The key to this matter still lies with Sun Qiang. As long as he insists that Wen Jing abused the lynching or was instigated by you, then your crime will be confirmed."

"Now the Holy Emperor has handed over this matter to Leng Yuangui for investigation. You must act quickly, otherwise once he destroys the evidence, you will not be able to prove your innocence."

Jun Tingsheng understood what he meant, and without further delay, he stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your advice. I'll go find Sun Qiang right now."

Only those who meet the person involved will know what happened, but it is difficult to say whether Leng Yuanqi did it alone or in collaboration with others.
