Chapter 46

There must be something inside

Up until now, the little emperor had not believed that Song Baichuan would betray him, but when he saw the familiar handwriting on the letter Qiao Xu submitted, he felt extremely angry.

"boom!"

The letter was slapped heavily on the table, and all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and leaned over. Zhou Qi clenched his hands with a pale face. He did not believe that his good friend would do such a thing.

There must be something inside of this!

However, with these evidences, it seems that Song Baichuan's collusion with the enemy has been confirmed, and the number of courtiers who were supporting Song Baichuan just now was instantly reduced by half.

After all, the evidence is right in front of them. No matter what their inner thoughts are, one thing is that they don't want to be implicated in this matter.

"I used to think that Marquis Xuanping had done a lot of hard work in guarding the border, and I would find an opportunity to reward him generously in the future. I never thought that he would do such a treacherous thing behind his back. It was in vain that I trusted him so much. I really deserve to die!"

The little emperor was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up. It was obvious that he was irritated by this incident. No one among the ministers dared to speak when they saw this.

At this time, the regent who was the only one standing advised him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter still needs to be discussed."

The little emperor's eyes moved to him, and he held back the anger in his heart and asked: "Uncle Huang means... Isn't Marquis Xuanping's move not enough to punish him with death?"

Jun Tianlin smiled slightly when he heard this, "Your Majesty, Marquis Xuanping has been on the battlefield for many years, and his great achievements can be easily described."

"Now he has only acted disloyally in a small battle. If he is sentenced to death for this, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers."

After a pause, Jun Tianlin continued: "Furthermore, Marquis Xuanping is a rare talent on the battlefield, so it's better not to lose big because of small things."

The little emperor had no intention of killing Song Baichuan. He had been stimulated by the letter just now. After calming down and thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was something fishy about the matter.

Based on his understanding of Song Baichuan, the possibility of the other party collaborating with the enemy and treason is extremely small. There may be some articles in this.

"Then according to the emperor's opinion, how should I deal with it?"

Jun Tianlin was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Since we can't kill him, we should focus on persuading him to win back the heart of Marquis Xuanping, so that he will only be loyal to the Holy Lord in this life."

Zhou Qi on the side was in a heavy mood. He had known that Jun Tianlin was not so kind. Now, on the surface, he was interceding for Song Baichuan. In fact, his words and deeds had confirmed Song Baichuan's accusation of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Moreover, Jun Tianlin's words and deeds today will also plant the seeds of Song Baichuan's loyalty in the heart of the Holy Master, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, with the evidence in front of him, even if he wanted to help speak, he was really powerless.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is of great importance. It is better to wait until the Ministry of Punishment interrogates Marquis Xuanping before making a decision."

After Zhou Qi finished speaking, the few ministers who supported Song Baichuan also bent down and kowtowed, "Master Zhou's words are reasonable. I hope the Holy One will make a decision at that time."

The little emperor looked at them and frowned. After being silent for a long time, he finally said: "Okay, just follow what Zhou Aiqing said."

Hearing this, Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he would find evidence to prove Song Baichuan's innocence as soon as possible before the Punishment Department surrendered.

Song Mansion——

Song Baoling was still painting non-stop. She endured her physical discomfort and painted the scenes in her dreams on paper one by one. However, because she had a severe headache during the period, her progress was very slow.

"Prince."

Cangmu ran in in a panic. After seeing Song Baoling present, his face immediately changed to a calm expression, and he quickly walked to Jun Tingsheng.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the palace."

"explain!"

"Qiao Xu had a letter in his hand indicating that Marquis Xuanping was collaborating with the enemy. The Holy Emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate Marquis Xuanping immediately."

Hearing this, Jun Tingsheng's expression suddenly became solemn. He turned to look at Song Baoling, who was still immersed in painting, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If they can't find evidence, then Song Baichuan might just...

"Uncle, I've finished painting."

Song Baoling walked up to Jun Tingsheng with the painting, "I dreamed of these, take a look."

There are many drawings, and most of them are landscape paintings, nothing particularly iconic.

Jun Tingsheng looked through each painting carefully and found that the tree in one of the paintings was a tree found only in Kucheng County, Lin County, but the specific location was unknown.

"Cangmu, you stay in the capital and continue to inquire about the news. If the situation changes, go find my father."

Upon hearing this, Cangmu became a little anxious and asked hurriedly: "What about the prince?"

"I'll take Ling'er to Kucheng County, maybe I'll find something."

After Jun Tingsheng finished speaking, he picked up Song Baoling with the drawing paper and walked out. Next, they had to buy time, otherwise it would be too late.

"No one from the Song family is allowed to leave the house!"

As soon as they arrived at the door, they were stopped by officials from the Ministry of Justice. Song Baoling shrank in Jun Tingsheng's arms in fear. This move made Jun Tingsheng tighten his grip in distress.

"Linger, don't be afraid, my uncle is here."

Jun Tingsheng comforted him and turned to glare at the official in front of him, "My father is the King of Chengyang, do you even want to stop me?"

The officers and soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and their eyes moved to Song Baoling: "But she is..."

"She is my father's granddaughter, and she is also from our Chengyang Prince's Palace. Why, do you want Prince Chengyang to explain it to you?"

King Chengyang was the uncle of the young emperor, so the officials of the Ministry of Punishment were still wary of this. Seeing that Song Baoling was only a little boy of four or five years old, they had no choice but to let them go.

Jun Tingsheng ordered people to prepare fast horses and take Song Baoling to Kucheng County. They didn't know the location in the painting, so they had to look for it along the way.

"Uncle, are we going to save daddy?"

Hearing Song Baoling's words, Jun Tingsheng was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her: "Do you know what happened?"

Song Baoling shook his head and said in a low mood: "Dad didn't come back, the second brother and the third brother were also taken away. There are many people in the family whom I haven't seen before. Grandma also said that the Song family is going to collapse..."

At this point, she raised her head and looked at Jun Tingsheng's face, "Uncle, daddy will be fine, right?"

Jun Tingsheng touched her head distressedly. It turned out that she had never shown anything before. It wasn't that she didn't know anything, she just kept it in her heart.

"Your father will be fine. As long as we find evidence, he will be able to go home soon."

A smile appeared on Song Baoling's childish face, "Well, Ling'er will find evidence and rescue daddy."

Later, the two rode horses all the way to Kucheng County. When passing through a forest, Song Baoling suddenly felt a force.

She asked Jun Tingsheng to stop and look at it, and said with great certainty: "This is it, this is the place I dreamed about."

Jun Tingsheng did not doubt her words at all, and immediately took her quietly into the woods. The two of them walked deeper and finally found a small wooden house.

And not only them, there is also a group of men in black present, but they are obviously enemies.
