A bunch of people behind the scenes who are adding insult to injury

As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkeys will scatter. However, the Song Baichuan matter has not been finalized yet, and there are already a bunch of people behind the scenes who are adding insult to injury.

Jun Tingsheng knew what Qiao Xu meant and agreed with a smile on his face: "What Qiao Shangshu said makes sense. I will consider it carefully when I get back. Thank you very much."

However, in Qiao Xu's view, Jun Tingsheng is still entangled with the Song Dynasty and is obviously not a smart person, so he has no intention of letting it go.

"This matter in the court is particularly complicated. If the prince doesn't know the stakes, it would be better to inform King Chengyang of what I just said."

"I think King Chengyang has been an official in the court for many years. It is easy to see the pros and cons of things clearly, and he will naturally make correct judgments."

Jun Tingsheng knew in his heart that he was trying to win over the Prince of Chengyang. To put it bluntly, he wanted to cut off Song Baichuan's retreat.

"What the Minister said is that in this case, I will tell my father exactly what I just said."

After finishing speaking, Jun Tingsheng saluted him again, then turned around and left quickly.

Jun Tingsheng was worried that Song Baoling would be angry because he could not find him if he left for too long, so after returning to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, he immediately went to look for her.

At this time, Song Baoling was immersed in drawing in the room. The table and floor were covered with drawing paper, and even her face was stained with ink.

Jun Tingsheng came in and was stunned when he saw this scene, "Ling'er, what are you doing?"

Looking up and seeing the person coming, Song Baoling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stumbled up to him with a stack of drawing papers she had drawn, "Little uncle, look at what I drew."

Jun Tingsheng took the drawing paper, looked through it, and asked, "What are these?"

Song Baoling tilted her head and thought for a while, then answered intermittently: "When I was taking a nap, I dreamed of a very dilapidated house. There were people lying on the ground unable to move, and their bodies were covered in blood."

"There were a lot of people searching for things in the house. I seemed to know where the things were, but I was afraid I would forget them later, so I drew them all."

After hearing this, Jun Tingsheng didn't pay much attention. He only felt that Song Baoling was relieved that Song Baoling was not too worried about the accident at home. When he put the drawing paper on the table, he accidentally saw a piece of drawing paper that he had left behind on the ground.

There were a few big words written on the drawing paper, but the writing was crooked and a little unclear. When he picked it up and held it in his hand, he was shocked.

Yao’s secret letter!

"Ling'er, how could you write these four words?"

Song Baoling stood on tiptoes to look at it and said, "I saw it in my dream."

"In a dream? Why are there these words in a dream?"

"I...I can't remember clearly."

Jun Tingsheng realized the seriousness of the matter. He held Song Baoling in his arms and asked her to read the words on the drawing paper carefully.

"Ling'er, think about it carefully, where did you see it? What exactly did the house in the dream look like?"

If his guess was correct, Ling'er's premonition might have come into play again.

Seeing how nervous he was, Song Baoling guessed that the matter was important to him, so she immediately lowered her head and recalled the scene in the dream.

But as I thought about it, my head started to hurt violently, and the more I thought about it, the worse the pain became.

"Uncle, my head hurts so much..."

Jun Tingsheng couldn't bear to see her miserable look, but he had a premonition that Ling'er's dream was related to Song Baichuan's imprisonment. If he wanted to save Song Baichuan from the predicament, he would probably...

"Ling'er, my uncle knows that you feel uncomfortable, but this matter is really important. Can you think about it again?"

Looking at his expectant eyes, Song Baoling had no choice but to endure her headache and continue to force herself to recall her dreams.

Royal Palace Baohua Hall——

"Marquis Xuanping let go of the enemy general without permission, which is clearly a violation of military discipline and must be severely punished by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty agrees with Mr. Zhao's words. Although Marquis Xuanping is far away on the border and can make decisions on the battlefield at critical moments, his actions are really suspicious. I think this matter should be investigated immediately!"

"Do you have any evidence that Marquis Xuanping acted suspiciously? That he let the enemy general go is just a baseless argument. I think someone wants to frame Marquis Xuanping."

In the court hall, the civil and military officials were quarreling over Song Baichuan's affairs. The little emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt a little headache when he saw what the ministers said to each other.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The little emperor looked at the person kneeling on the ground, his eyes changed slightly, "If Zhou Aiqing has anything to say, just say it."

Zhou Qi straightened his back and knelt in the center of the hall, clasping his fists with his hands and saying: "As we all know, I and Marquis Xuanping are close friends from life to death. Based on my understanding of him, he will never do anything detrimental to our country."

"Marquis Xuanping has been guarding the border for so many years and has achieved numerous victories. How can we doubt his loyalty to the Holy Emperor just because an enemy general escaped in a small battle?"

Having said this, he bent down and kowtowed: "The loyalty of Marquis Xuan Ping can be seen from the sun and the moon. I hope the Holy One will see clearly and give him justice!"

There was silence in the main hall. The little emperor looked at Zhou Qi and frowned, "Zhou Aiqing, since you know that you are close friends with Marquis Xuanping, why do you still speak for him? Do you know the consequences of doing so?"

Zhou Qi was silent for a moment, then straightened up and looked at him, "I know, but I believe in his character, and I hope the Holy One will see clearly."

The surroundings fell into silence once again, and at this moment, Qiao Xu suddenly walked in from outside the hall.

"Lord Zhou knows a saying: you know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts."

Qiao Xu walked straight to Zhou Qi, looked at him with a mocking look, turned around and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have evidence that Marquis Xuanping colluded with the enemy."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall booed, and Zhou Qi's face became very ugly.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qiao Xu stood up straight, looked at the little emperor and said: "The battle of Yaoshan was chosen by Marquis Xuanping himself, and the reason why he chose this battle was because the enemy leader was the one who led the troops.

The third prince of Yao Kingdom, Fei Zhennan."

"According to the news, Fei Zhennan is not only wise, but also very brave and good at fighting. He is a prince who is particularly valued by King Yao."

"This battle is Fei Zhennan's first battle. He needs his achievements to prove his strength to the people of Yao. This is why Xuanping Hou colluded with him so that he can gain prestige in Yao."

"So, Marquis Xuanping was not wronged, he betrayed the Holy One!"

After the words fell, whispers suddenly sounded in the hall. Zhou Qi looked at Qiao Xu with a gloomy face: "Qiao Shangshu, in the final analysis, these are just your conjectures."

"Marquis Xuanping has been fighting for the country for many years, and countless enemies have died under his sword. Now you just say that he betrayed the Holy Emperor with just a few words. This is simply ridiculous!"

Hearing this, Qiao Xu smiled instead of getting angry. He turned to look at Zhou Qi, curled his lips and said, "That's ridiculous? I think it's Mr. Zhou who's ridiculous."

"After all, I have a letter from Marquis Xuan Ping as evidence of his collaboration with the enemy."
