Chapter 91

Knowing that he deliberately concealed it, Song Baoling didn't ask any more questions, and continued to eat snacks in a good mood.

In the evening, Song Baichuan came back from the barracks and saw Jun Tingsheng in Song Baoling's courtyard again, although he was unhappy, he didn't say anything.

"Ling'er, you should rest earlier, father will go back first."

Song Baichuan left after staying for a while. Seeing this, Jun Tingsheng also got up, "Master Hou, let me see you off."

The two looked at each other and left together. Seeing that they had something to hide from him, Song Baoling followed secretly out of curiosity.

"I wonder if Master Hou has any news?"

"The Prince Regent's people are watching outside the palace, and his people in the palace are also asking for news."

Song Baichuan sighed heavily, and said worriedly: "If Ling'er's pretending to be sick is exposed, I'm afraid it will only make him more suspicious."

Jun Tingsheng also had concerns, but he still comforted Song Baichuan: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Yesterday I gave Ling'er a medicine that can disrupt the pulse condition, and Imperial Physician Wang didn't notice any abnormalities."

"Jun Tianlin will get news soon, and he will stop staring at Ling'er at that time."

However, Song Baichuan's mood did not improve. In order for Song Baoling to escape Jun Tianlin's torment, he had no choice but to act this time.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Song Baoling finally knew the reason for pretending to be sick. Although she had never met the regent, seeing how vigilant her father and Jun Tingsheng were, it was not easy to deal with them.

The Regent's House—

At this time, Jun Tianlin was listening to a little song. He went to the palace to meet the queen today, and after learning the results of the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he still had doubts in his heart.

"My lord."

His confidant Chai Liang hurried forward to Jun Tianlin's side, leaned over and said in a low voice, "My lord, there's news from the Song residence confirming that Song Baoling is seriously injured."

The spies reported the same news several times in a row, and Jun Tianlin gradually believed it. It was ridiculous to think that he had expected a child before.

"Okay, let's call everyone back."

"What about Song Baoling? Do we need to keep someone under surveillance?"

Jun Tianlin put his chin in one hand and chuckled, "It's just an ignorant child, don't worry about it."

"On the other hand, Jun Tingsheng can send someone to follow him. He has already noticed about the Wuzhou matter, so don't let him ruin this king's affairs."

Chai Liang lowered his head and cupped his fists: "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."

After he left, Jun Tianlin continued to enjoy the little song, and was not affected in the slightest by what happened just now.

This morning, everyone in the court was trembling, and even Jun Tianlin, who always had the right to speak, didn't say a word.

"In the past few days, a large number of disaster victims have suddenly flooded into the city. Please tell me, how should I arrange them?"

The court hall was completely silent, Jun Yelan glanced around, frowned and said in a low voice, "None of you civil and military officials can think of a way?"

After finishing the words, no one took the initiative to speak, Jun Yelan frowned displeasedly, "Okay, let's change another question, can any of you answer me, why these disaster victims suddenly fled to the capital?"

After a while of silence, someone finally came forward, "My lord, I have sent someone to inquire. These victims were all robbed of their property by the thugs on the water downstream. As a result, their wives were separated, and they had to flee here after being displaced."

Jun Yelan's face was very ugly. He already knew these things, and he just wanted to see if there was anyone in the court who cared about this matter.

"There are gangsters endangering the people, why don't local officials report it?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence again. Seeing this, Jun Yelan directly said two names. The person whose name was called turned pale and tremblingly knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"Are you assuming that I don't know anything?"

Jun Yelan patted the desk in front of him vigorously, and said angrily: "This kind of thing happened under my nose, and the victims were driven out of the city at will to cover up the truth. How did you write the word 'loyalty'?"

The emperor was furious, and the courtiers knelt and bowed one after another, and for a while, the entire court was covered with dark clouds.

No one knew Jun Yelan's thoughts, but no one dared to ask for orders to solve the water bandit matter, and the atmosphere was dull and depressing.

"Now it is urgent, but you have nothing to do, what use do I want you to be?!"

"I limit you to think of a solution within three days. If it doesn't work, I will hold you accountable!"

After the morning court was over, all the civil and military officials went home, worried all day long.

This matter is too complicated, and if you are not careful, you will lose your official position. Therefore, everyone is eagerly waiting to show up, but no one is willing to show up.

Because of Song Baoling's feigning illness, Song Baichuan stayed away from court disputes in a reasonable way, and ran between the military camp and the Song residence every day, without caring about other things.

"Uncle, there are more and more disaster victims fleeing to the capital. Today, the Holy Majesty got angry again and ordered the civil and military officials to find a solution as soon as possible."

Song Lianming sat on the chair with a sad face, and continued to complain to Song Baichuan: "Nowadays, everyone in the court is in danger, and even the few civil servants who always love to talk nonsense are afraid to speak out."

"Uncle, the victims of the disaster have fled all the way here, and they are both hungry and cold. If this drags on, they will die. You said that if I volunteered..."

Song Baichuan frowned, and raised his eyes to look at him: "Get rid of your thoughts as soon as possible, there are many people who are more capable than you in the imperial court, so what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Song Lianming felt a little unconvinced, "Isn't it just to suppress bandits? I have fought against my uncle for many years, and it's just a few bandits. I can take 100 people with me and solve them."

Song Baichuan put down the book in his hand heavily, and stared at Song Lianming with a serious expression: "Do you think suppressing bandits is that simple? Suppressing bandits is different from your going to the battlefield. The right time, place and people are very important."

"Furthermore, I guess this matter is not simple. If someone is involved, you will only hurt yourself in the end if you take the initiative to ask for help."

Song Lianming has always followed Song Baichuan and accepted his teachings. Now after listening to his analysis, he also feels that this statement makes sense.

But despite this, Song Lianming still went to Song Baichuan to tell about the suffering of the victims every morning after returning from the morning.

Song Baichuan knew what he was planning, but the regent had already set his eyes on Song Baoling, so he couldn't leave at this time.

What's more, this matter involves a lot, it would be better not to participate in it.

Song Baoling's side is also miserable. Ever since she was seriously injured and bedridden, she was trapped in the other garden and couldn't go in and out. She was extremely bored every day.

"Linger."

Hearing the familiar voice, Song Baoling jumped off the bed excitedly, "I'm here, I'm here..."

When Jun Tingsheng came in and saw her bare feet again, he frowned unhappily, walked over and picked her up.

"How many times have I said, don't walk on the ground with bare feet, what if you catch a cold?"

Song Baoling snorted softly and said, "I'm not that delicate."
