Chapter 46
Until now, the little emperor didn't believe that Song Baichuan would betray him, but when he saw the familiar handwriting on the letter Qiao Xu presented, he felt extremely angry.

"boom!"

The letter was slapped heavily on the table, all civil and military officials knelt on the ground and bent over, Zhou Qi clenched his palms with a livid face, he didn't believe his friend would do such a thing.

There must be something inside!

However, with these evidences, Song Baichuan's collusion with the enemy country seems to have been confirmed, and the number of courtiers who supported Song Baichuan just now fell by half in an instant.

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

"Before, I thought that Marquis Xuan Ping had done a lot of hard work in guarding the frontier, and I would find an opportunity to reward him a lot in the future. I never thought that he would do such a rebellious thing behind his back. It was a waste of my trusting him. I really deserve to die!"

The little emperor was so angry that he slapped the table, it could be seen that he was stimulated by this matter, none of the ministers below dared to speak up.

At this time, the only standing regent spoke to persuade: "The Holy Majesty calm down, this matter is still to be discussed."

The little emperor shifted his eyes to him, holding back the anger in his heart and asked: "What does the emperor mean...isn't this move of the Marquis Xuanping enough to grant him death?"

Jun Tianlin smiled slightly when he heard the words, "My lord, Xuan Pinghou has galloped on the battlefield for many years, and his great achievements are believable."

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

After a pause, Jun Tianlin continued: "Furthermore, Marquis Xuan Ping is a rare talent on the battlefield, so it's better not to make big mistakes because of small losses."

The little emperor didn't want to kill Song Baichuan at first, but he was stimulated by the letter just now. After calming down and thinking about it carefully, there is something strange about this matter.

Based on his understanding of Song Baichuan, the possibility of the other party collaborating with the enemy and treason is extremely small, and there may be something in it.

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

Jun Tianlin was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Since you can't kill him, then we should persuade Xuan Pinghou to return his heart, so that he will only be loyal to the Holy One in this life."

Zhou Qi on the side was in a heavy heart. He had known that Jun Tianlin was not so kind, and now he appeared to be pleading for Song Baichuan, but in fact, his words and deeds had confirmed Song Baichuan's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

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

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

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is of great importance, and we should wait for the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate Marquis Xuan Ping before making a decision."

After Zhou Qi's words fell, the few ministers who supported Song Baichuan also bowed and kowtowed, "Master Zhou is justified, and I hope the Holy Spirit will make a decision at that time."

The little emperor looked at them and frowned. After a long silence, he finally said, "Okay, just follow what Zhou Aiqing said."

Hearing this, Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step is to find evidence to prove Song Baichuan's innocence as soon as possible before the Ministry of Punishment can torture him.

Song Mansion——

Song Baoling was still drawing. Enduring physical discomfort, she drew the scenes of her dream on paper one by one, but because of the severe headache during the period, the progress was very slow.

"Sir."

Cang Mu ran in in a panic, and when he saw Song Baoling present, his face immediately changed into a calm expression, and then he walked quickly to Jun Tingsheng.

"My lord, there is news from the palace."

"Say!"

"Qiao Xu has a letter from Xuan Ping Hou in his hand. The Holy One was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate Xuan Ping Hou immediately."

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

If they can't find evidence, then Song Baichuan may be...

"Uncle, I'm done painting."

Song Baoling walked up to Jun Tingsheng with the painting, "These are all my dreams, take a look."

There are a lot of sketches, and most of them are landscape paintings, nothing particularly iconic.

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

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

Hearing this, Cang Mu became a little anxious, and hurriedly asked: "What about Shizi?"

"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.

"People from the Song family are not allowed to leave the mansion!"

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

"Ling'er is not afraid, little uncle is here."

Jun Tingsheng comforted him, then turned his head and stared 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 the words, and their eyes shifted to Song Baoling: "But she is..."

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

King Chengyang is the little emperor's uncle, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment still have scruples about this, and seeing that Song Baoling is only a four or five-year-old baby, they had no choice but to let them go.

Jun Tingsheng ordered people to prepare a fast horse, and took Song Baoling to Kucheng County. They didn't know the location in the painting, so they had to search all the way.

"Little uncle, are we going to save Daddy?"

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

Song Baoling shook his head, and said in a depressed mood: "Daddy didn't come back, and the second and third elder brothers were also taken away. There are still many people in the family who have never seen each other. Grandma also said that the Song family is going to collapse..."

Speaking of which, she looked up at Jun Tingsheng's face, "Little uncle, Daddy will be fine, right?"

Jun Tingsheng patted her head distressedly. It turned out that she hadn't shown anything before. It wasn't that she didn't know anything, but she just kept it in her heart.

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

A smile appeared on Song Baoling's immature face, "Well, Ling'er will find evidence to rescue Daddy."

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

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

Jun Tingsheng didn't doubt her words at all, and immediately led her into the woods quietly. The two walked deep all the way, and finally found a small wooden house.

And it wasn't just them, there was also a group of men in black, but they were obviously enemies.
