Chapter 48 Stay in the house and wait for him to come back

"Brother, why do you suddenly ask this? Nothing happened at home."

Song Baoling withdrew her hand and said with a serious face: "Dad has not come back since he went out. Before leaving, he specifically asked Uncle Qin to stay and take care of you. Didn't uncle say that?"

Song Lianze looked at her with disbelief, "Uncle Qin did say that, but I think the house..."

"Don't worry, brother, daddy will be back in a few days, but daddy said that you won't be allowed to go out before he comes back, so as not to be discovered."

Song Baoling's face was full of seriousness. Despite this, Song Lianze was still full of concerns about her words.

Seeing what the other party was thinking, Song Baoling had no choice but to continue lying: "Dad said he had a plan, but brother must cooperate and must stay in the house and wait for him to come back."

"I won't tell my brother anymore. My uncle is still waiting to take me out. I will bring him delicious snacks later."

After Song Baoling finished speaking, he was worried that Song Lianze would continue to ask questions, so he immediately turned around and ran away. When he came to the gate of the courtyard, he told the guards that they must not let anyone inside come out.

When he rushed back to the room, all the injuries on Jun Tingsheng's body were taken care of. Fortunately, apart from his physical weakness, his life was not in danger.

"Uncle, please go back first."

Qin Shi knew that Song Lianze was already suspicious, so he told him to take medicine and left in a hurry.

"Uncle, are you okay? Does it still hurt?"

Jun Tingsheng smiled and touched Song Baoling's head, comforting him: "It doesn't hurt. This injury will heal in a few days."

"It's just that I have to give this letter to Zhou Qi as soon as possible. He is your father's best friend. Only he can save the Marquis."

Hearing this, Song Baoling immediately stood up and volunteered: "I can deliver the letter."

"no!"

Jun Tingsheng refused without hesitation and stuffed the letter under his pillow, "This matter is too dangerous, I can't let you take the risk."

"Besides, the Xuanping Hou Mansion has been targeted for a long time. If you and I are exposed, I'm afraid things will get worse."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Song Baoling said nothing more and stayed by the bed to take care of him.

Perhaps because he was too tired and the medicine took effect, Jun Tingsheng fell into a deep sleep not long after.

"Little uncle..."

Song Baoling shouted tentatively, but when the person on the bed didn't respond, she reached out and poked his face. After confirming that the person was asleep, she secretly took the letter from under the pillow.

Now that my father is in danger and my uncle is seriously injured, I leave the rest to her.

Song Baoling climbed out of the dog hole in the backyard while the guards were not paying attention. She hid all the way and finally arrived at the door of Zhou's mansion.

She kept in mind what Jun Tingsheng said not to expose herself, so she hid at the entrance of the alley opposite Zhou Mansion and waited for a long time before seeing a boy come out.

Zhou Qi’s son, Zhou He.

Song Baoling had met him once, and although he had not spoken to him, Zhou Qi was an upright man, so his son would not be a bad person.

"Okay, it's him!"

Following Zhou He all the way to the street, Song Baoling dressed up as a beggar and came to Zhou He's side when there were few people around.

"Sir, please give me some money..."

Although Zhou He was born into a noble family, he was different from other rich men in that he was very kind to the common people.

He took out a few coins and handed them to Song Baoling, and expressed his kind concern: "It's getting dark soon, go back early."

Seeing this, Song Baoling felt that the time had come, so she immediately grabbed his hand and said loudly: "Thank you, Master, for the money."

At the same time, she took the opportunity to put the letter into Zhou He's hand and whispered: "This thing can help your father get promoted."

Zhou He was startled when he heard this, and looked down at the letter in his hand. When he came to his senses, he realized that the little beggar had disappeared.

Promotion?

"Can this thing really help my father get promoted?"

Zhou He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. After thinking about it, he turned around and went home, intending to hand the letter to his father.

When he saw Song Baolington returning home and hiding in the dark, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned the same way.

Zhou Mansion——

"Who gave you this letter?!"

Zhou Qi grabbed his son and asked again emotionally: "Tell me, who gave it to you!"

Looking at his frightened father, Zhou He was a little frightened and quickly told the story of his encounter with the little beggar.

After hearing this, Zhou Qi couldn't calm down for a long time. He told Zhou He not to mention the matter to outsiders, and then he rushed to the palace with the letter to meet the saint.

As long as he has this thing, his good brother Song Baichuan can redress his grievances.

Royal Palace——

The little emperor has been extremely depressed these days. Because of Song Baichuan's treason, there were quarrels in the court every day. Now that he is able to be clean, some unscrupulous people get involved again.

Looking at Zhou Qi kneeling in front of him, the little emperor sighed tiredly, "Zhou Aiqing, I know that you have a good relationship with Marquis Xuanping, but I have handed this matter over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. You have heard this with your own ears.

.”

"Now that you are persecuting me like this, do you want me to punish you too!"

Zhou Qi bowed respectfully and held the letter in his hand, "Your Majesty, I dare not force you, but I have evidence to prove that Marquis Xuanping was framed."

"The content of this letter is the real content, and the letter in Qiao Shangshu's hand is obviously a forgery."

The little emperor stood up excitedly, walked straight to Zhou Qi, took the letter from his hand and opened it. Although there were only a few words in it, he was almost certain that it was true.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Xuanping is guarding the border for the country. Now he has just returned to the capital and this happened only a month ago. It is obvious that he was deliberately framed."

"This letter has shown Marquis Xuanping's loyalty to the Holy One. I hope that the Holy One will think twice about it and don't chill the hearts of all the soldiers."

Zhou Qi's words made the young emperor think deeply. Now that he had just inherited the throne, his foundation was still unstable. If he lost the general Song Baichuan, I'm afraid...

"Here comes the Prince Regent."

Zhou Qi's heart sank when he heard that the young emperor was looking for Jun Tianlin again. There was probably no one among the civil and military officials in the dynasty who didn't know that Jun Tianlin and Song Baichuan were not compatible.

If we let him come, we don't know how the situation will develop.

Sure enough, after Jun Tianlin learned what happened, his first reaction was not whether the letter was true or false, but how Zhou Qi got the letter.

"My lord, when it comes to the origin of the letter, it's quite thrilling."

Jun Tianlin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Oh, Lord Zhou, let me tell you, how thrilling was it?"

The little emperor next to him was also staring closely at him. Zhou Qi had never felt so nervous before, even more nervous than when he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Because what he is going to say next is related to the life and death of his friend. If he is not careful, not only will he not be able to save others, but he will also be implicated.
