Chapter 147
Worrying
"Your Majesty, the regent just sent someone to send a message, saying that the prince...he..."
Seeing this, Jun Fengqing put the tea cup heavily on the table and scolded: "If you have something to say, just say it, why are you hesitating?"
The servant knelt on the ground tremblingly, "The regent sent someone to send a message, saying that the Holy One will give the prince three days to prove his innocence. If the prince cannot give an explanation to the Holy One after three days, the Holy One will punish him according to the law."
Hearing this, Jun Fengqing's expression suddenly changed. Chao Tingsheng was impeached by Leng Yuangui this morning, but it only took half a day to develop like this. I'm afraid someone was behind it.
"Don't let Madam know about this, please step back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
But would Jun Tianlin be so kind as to tell him this? The more Jun Fengqing thought about it, the more weird it became.
The urgent task now is how to prove that Ting Sheng has nothing to do with this matter. That deputy general Wen Jing is Song Baichuan's man. Could this matter be related to him?
On the other side, Song Baoling didn't know what was going on in the court. She was currently accompanying Song Baochai in Baohua Palace to raise her baby, and was waiting for the Empress Dowager to summon her.
"I heard that the Crown Prince of Chao Dynasty was impeached early this morning, and the Holy Spirit made a big fuss."
"More than that, His Majesty just issued an order in the imperial study room, saying that if the prince cannot prove his innocence within three days, he will be punished according to law."
Jun Tingsheng?
Song Baoling hurriedly caught up with the palace officials who were passing by, stopped them and asked, "Did what you just said be true? What mistake did your son... Your Majesty make?"
"Don't you know, Lord Jinling County? It's spread all over the palace."
"I heard that the prince's lieutenant was abusing lynching, and the Holy Emperor sent Leng Yushi to investigate the matter thoroughly. However, for some reason, the prince angered the Holy Emperor, so the Holy Emperor set a three-day period."
"Yes, if the prince cannot prove that this matter has nothing to do with him in three days, the Holy One will deal with it according to the law."
After Song Baoling heard the cause and effect of the incident, she felt bad. No wonder her eyelids kept twitching today. She thought it was because she was not fully recovered, but it turned out that something had happened.
"Where is the prince now?"
"How does this slave know? He is probably... investigating the matter. After all, he only has three days."
Song Baoling returned to the room with a solemn mood. She and Jun Tingsheng had experienced so much together. She didn't believe that Jun Tingsheng would not be able to discover her abilities. But after such a big thing happened, why didn't he come to her?
After the young eunuch who had just spoken to Song Baoling left Baohua Palace, he went straight to a secluded courtyard, where Chai Liang had been waiting for a long time.
"How did she react?"
"The Lord of Jinling County seems to be very worried about the Crown Prince, and has been asking the servant about the Crown Prince, but according to the prince's wishes, the servant did not say much."
"Well done, keep watching and report anything immediately."
"Yes, I will resign."
After Chai Liang watched the young eunuch leave, he turned around and left the courtyard. He needed to report the truth to Jun Tianlin.
At night, Song Baoling tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. According to what the palace official said today, Jun Tingsheng's situation was not good. What if he couldn't find any evidence?
After some tangle, Song Baoling suddenly sat up from the bed. Instead of thinking randomly, it would be better to ask him directly.
"Oh my god... Is this hole too small? Can you get through it?"
Song Baoling squatted on the ground and gestured with her hands. The hole in front of her was probably only big enough for a puppy to get through. Even if she was thin, it would still be difficult for her to get through.
"No matter, let's give it a try first."
Having made up her mind, Song Baoling rolled up her sleeves and prepared to drill the hole. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to lie down on the ground, she heard a chuckle.
"hehe……"
This laughter...why does it sound familiar?
Song Baoling looked up at the sound and saw Jun Tingsheng standing by the bushes, smiling at her, as if she had been watching him for a while.
"You're not...how did you..."
"See how dumbfounded I am?"
Jun Tingsheng walked up to Song Baoling with a smile, looked down at the dog hole, and couldn't help laughing again: "You weren't planning to get out from here just now, were you?"
"Otherwise?" Song Baoling rolled her eyes at him and put her hands on her hips angrily: "You still have the nerve to smile. If it weren't for worrying about you, would I want to dig into a dog hole?"
Hearing this, Jun Tingsheng stopped smiling and asked, "Why are you worried about me?"
"I heard that you were impeached this morning, and the Holy Father only gave you three days to prove your innocence."
As he spoke, Song Baoling suddenly felt aggrieved, "I was worried that you couldn't sleep with worry, and wanted to get out of here to find you, but you still laughed at me..."
Jun Tingsheng saw her aggrieved and pitiful look, and quickly coaxed: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't laugh at you."
"But don't worry about impeachment. I will find evidence to prove myself. Just go back to sleep."
"No!" Song Baoling pretended to be angry and turned her back to him, "Your matter is not settled, I can't sleep, and I'm still angry."
Jun Tingsheng saw that she was losing her temper again, but he was not dissatisfied. Instead, he smiled lovingly and patted her on the head.
"If you can't sleep, I'll take you somewhere."
"real?"
"Whether it is true or not, you will know soon."
After the words fell, Jun Tingsheng gently picked him up. Looking at the face so close in front of him, Song Baoling felt his heart beat faster.
The two left the palace and came to the city. Song Baoling kept asking about today's events on the way, and Jun Tingsheng patiently answered them one by one.
While talking, they came to the famous Xiangqi Tower in the city. As soon as Song Baoling entered, he noticed that there was something inside this building.
"This is not an ordinary place, right?"
Song Baoling looked at the surrounding decoration and the clerks in the store, and found that although they treated Jun Tingsheng like guests on the surface, there was a hint of imperceptible awe in their words and actions.
"Ling'er is indeed smart."
Jun Tingsheng took her to a wing and sat down. After a while, someone knocked on the door and came in.
"Ling'er, this is Lao Bai, he is taking care of Xiangqi Tower."
Shopkeeper Bai's expression changed instantly when he saw Song Baoling, "The prince must have something important to come here at this time. If so, outsiders should not be brought here."
Seeing his hostility towards her, Song Baoling just smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Bai seems to be a smart person, but the people under you don't seem to be smart."
"Miss, what do you mean?"
"When we came in just now, the store clerk treated the prince differently, and they were trained whether they were moving things or walking..."
Song Baoling truthfully informed her of her findings, and also corrected several loopholes in Xiangqi Tower. During this period, Jun Tingsheng held his head in his hands and looked at her, the doting in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
"In this way, no matter how smart you are, it will be difficult for you to detect anything wrong with Xiangqi Tower, and Shopkeeper Bai will not expose your identity."
Shopkeeper Bai suddenly realized what he said after listening to what Song Baoling said. Before he could speak, Jun Tingsheng next to him smiled and said, "Old Bai, Ling'er has been very smart since she was a child. Just do as she says."
"Also, Ling'er is not an outsider."
