Chapter 442: Court Turmoil
Chapter 442: Court Turmoil
After this night, many people in the capital disappeared quietly. The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel and even the patrol battalion joined forces. Not only ordinary people disappeared, but even officials above the fourth rank had their property confiscated and exiled for certain crimes. After one night, the team in the court was reshuffled, and the old families also suffered heavy losses.
Song Chunlin was completely unaware of the complex situation in the court, but he understood that if those people could do it once, they would do it again, so his mental power was firmly attached to the young master and Gu Fengyun's family all night long. Once there was anything wrong with these people, he would know immediately.
Fortunately, after a night, all these people were safe and sound. But it's understandable that if everyone stayed in a safe place, it would be strange if something happened.
The emperor learned that it was because he often let the young master go out of the city during this period, which attracted bad guys who wanted to make trouble by kidnapping the young master. As long as something happened to the young master, they would have an excuse to sow discord between Linyuan City and the capital. The emperor was angry but also regretted not sending an army to accompany the young master.
Before the kidnapping was settled, the child would probably not have the chance to leave the palace again. In order to appease his emotions, the emperor specially summoned Song Chunlin into the palace and asked him to play with the young master for a few days.
Song Chunlin pointed at himself and confirmed with the eunuch in front of him: "Does the emperor really want me to stay in the palace for a few days? Me? Go to the palace, and stay for a few days?"
The eunuch smiled bitterly, thinking to himself what a crappy job this was, but he still looked very dedicated.
"Yes, Young Master Song, His Majesty is right. Don't worry, he just wants you to stay with Prince Linyuan for a few days. Once he's well again, you can come back anytime."
Song Chunlin couldn't help but complain in his heart, this damn emperor probably didn't know how misleading his actions were.
Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided that he should go and make it clear that staying overnight was out of the question, absolutely impossible.
After entering the palace, Song Chunlin went straight to the prince's residence. The young prince was already full of energy today. After all, the spiritual spring water was not drunk for free. But everyone still treated him like a porcelain doll. They didn't even let him go to the yard and insisted that he stay in the house to recuperate.
When Song Chunlin arrived, he immediately took the child to the yard and took out all the delicious food that Song A'mo and Song Qin had prepared for him.
"This is the sausage bun that my grandfather made for you. This is the scallion pork pancake that my mother made for you. And this is the egg pudding that my sister-in-law made for you. Here, eat it. But you can only eat a little of each, okay? Let the palace servants put away the rest for you and eat it later."
Song Chunlin didn't bring many things, just one of each. The palace maid next to him wanted to say something when she saw this, but Song Chunlin warned her with a look, so she retreated a few steps, lowered her head and dared not speak again.
After spending some time with the young master, Song Chunlin saw that he was eating with relish, and he knew that the kidnapping had not left him any psychological trauma at all. It might not be as dangerous as the last time when he was escorted by assassins to Baita City. The injuries on his body were only bruises and flesh wounds. The empress dowager also sent him some fine ointment yesterday. After applying it twice, the scars had completely scabbed over. In two days, he would probably be back to normal.
After seeing that the young prince was fine, Song Chunlin left the palace directly without meeting the emperor at all. The emperor didn't say anything after he knew about it, but the empress dowager called him over and scolded him, saying that he was confused. How could the emperor privately summon the families of officials into the palace to spend the night? It was not only unreasonable, but also against human nature.
The emperor finally came to his senses after being scolded by the empress dowager. He quickly admitted his mistake to the empress dowager and said that he was indeed confused. The key point was that Song Chunlin was too powerful and his fighting ability was so high that he often forgot that this guy was a real boy and was already married.
After hearing this reason, the empress dowager fell silent. Not to mention that the emperor would forget that Song Chunlin was a boy, many times, even she herself doubted whether this man was a boy after hearing about Song Chunlin. This was too harsh.
