Jin Miaomiao's worries were not unfounded, and soon became a reality.
When Song Jue finished the last mouthful of hot soup, he heard a flurry of footsteps coming from outside the Nuan Pavilion. He was so excited for no reason that he almost spit out the soup.
"Be careful, don't choke yourself."
Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng looked at each other with a smirk on their faces. When it comes to sarcasm and ridicule of Song Jue, their two positions are consistent. The only one to blame was Song Jue himself. He was usually too noisy and caused too much trouble for them. If they don't fight back if they seize the opportunity, God will probably look down upon them.
"What are your expressions like that? Isn't it too big a deal to watch the excitement?"
"It's really nice to see you being scolded." Xue Ruitian glanced at Song Jue sideways, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile, "You are also the emperor after all. As for the fear that your subordinates will be like this? Are they two angry again? , I just scold you, but I can’t really do anything to you.”
"I'm not afraid, I respect them both and don't want them to be angry." Song Jue sighed, "If they two get mad at me, I can't explain it to Xiao Lin and Xiao Cha, nor can I explain it to my mother. .”
"Don't you think you meant what you said when you said this?" Bai Meng rolled his eyes, "Why didn't you do it earlier? If you didn't want to make them angry, you shouldn't have come this time. Now you say this... ..." He snorted and pointed to his face, "Do you still want face? I really didn't know before that you are so thick-skinned!"
"..." Song Jue was choked by him and couldn't speak. He couldn't refute if he wanted to. He turned his attention to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, hoping that they could say something for him. "Xiao Lin, Xiao Cha, you..."
"There's nothing to worry about. The two of them are reasonable." Shen Cha stood up and walked towards the door. He stopped after taking two steps, turned to look at Song Jue, and said, "You come here this time. It was approved by the Queen Mother. Master and Uncle Yan only wanted to say a few words to you. They are both angry now. If they say something unpleasant, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"Cha'er is right. Don't argue. Just listen to what they say, so as not to add fuel to the fire." Shen Haolin patted Song Jue, stood up and left, walked to Xue Ruitian and sat down, "The two old men have bad tempers. , once you get anxious, get angry, and get sick again, it will be even more troublesome.”
"That makes sense, but you have to speak for me. You can't watch me being scolded."
"When the time is right, I will speak for you. But..." Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Be careful what you say. Say what you should say, but don't say what you shouldn't."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Song Jue understood what Shen Cha was referring to and nodded slightly. Even if he was scolded, he would not reveal the true purpose of coming here. Clearing his throat and wanting to say something more, he heard Qin Zheng's angry voice coming from outside the door. He took a deep breath and nodded towards Shen Cha, indicating that she could open the door.
"Master, Uncle Yan, Your Majesty declares!"
Shen Cha opened the door and turned aside to let Qin Hao and Yan Bo who were waiting at the door come in. When he saw Jin Jing and the two county princes following them, he cast a questioning look.
"Don't worry, it's done!" Jin Jing walked to Shen Cha, waited for her to close the door, and whispered, "It's okay. I can't fight. If you're angry, you're still angry. You're still very reasonable."
Shen Cha nodded and ordered Mei Lin and Mei Zhu to clear away the dishes and chopsticks on everyone's table and replace them with freshly brewed hot tea. After finishing all this, they saw Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, who were saluting Song Jue, still kneeling there upright, with no intention of getting up.
Seeing this familiar scene in front of him, Song Jue couldn't help but roll his eyes at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. It is true that like a teacher, like a disciple, and expressing his dissatisfaction is the same.
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha understood what Song Jue meant. They touched their noses in embarrassment and spread their hands towards each other. It was purely a coincidence and had nothing to do with them.
"Two old generals, it's cold on the ground, you'd better get up and talk first!" Song Jue stood up from his seat, walked to Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, and helped them up personally, "You two can scold you if you want, I'm listening. That’s right. But don’t make fun of your body, it will make us very worried.”
Qin Zheng and Yan Bo took advantage of the situation and stood up. They didn't really want to embarrass Song Jue, they just wanted to teach the willful young emperor a small lesson. Now that His Majesty the Emperor has given them an excuse, they can go down the slope.
But even so, Qin Zheng believed that what should be said should still be said.
"Your Majesty!" After sitting down, Qin Zheng gave a respectful fist to Song Jue who was sitting in the seat. "Your Majesty just said that I should not joke about my body. This will make Your Majesty worried. I have thanked Your Majesty for your kindness. But Your Majesty Have you ever thought that if you leave Beijing privately, wouldn’t the veterans be worried? Of course, the veteran knows that things have happened and you are already here. It is impossible for you to go back home at this time, but, veteran I still have to say that your approach is inappropriate."
"This is very inappropriate, Your Majesty." Yan Bo followed, "Xiao Jing just told us that the Queen Mother has agreed to your border trip. But the Queen Mother must not know that you only have Commander Bai by your side. You didn’t bring a shadow with you, right? What should you do if something goes wrong on the road? What should the commander-in-chief do? How should the Queen Mother, who agreed to your departure from the capital, deal with it? What kind of chaos will the whole Great Xia fall into? "
Song Jue was speechless when he was asked. He really hadn't thought about this. He was really anxious to get out at that time. He wanted to rush to the border to find out what he wanted to know, but he ignored many details that should be paid attention to.
"This...the two old generals taught you a lesson." Song Jue coughed twice, "This is my fault, my negligence."
"In addition to His Majesty's negligence, it is also the fault of the Commander-in-Chief." Qin Zheng turned to Bai Meng with a very serious expression. "The Commander-in-Chief should think of things that His Majesty did not think of. As the Commander-in-Chief who protects His Majesty's safety, The dereliction of duty this time was too serious.”
"What the old general said was the general's negligence." Bai Meng nodded and said frankly, "For this, the general will personally apologize to His Majesty and the Queen Mother and ask them to punish him."
"Master, everything happens for a reason, and the commander-in-chief also has his own reasons. His majesty is confused because of his concern. It is understandable that he came out in a hurry and did not have time to arrange escorts. He has the commander-in-chief beside him and it is not particularly big. It is enough. Otherwise, still It will attract other people's attention, which is not good. However, it will definitely not be like this when we return. I will send someone to escort His Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief back to the capital. Please rest assured, Master."
Shen Cha knew that Song Jue was worried about the case in the Wuding Hou Mansion, so he rushed from Xijing in such a hurry. Moreover, the details of this case could not be disclosed to anyone except a few of them, including his master and Neither can Uncle Yan. So, she thought about it and took the initiative to defend Song Jue.
"That's what happened." Song Jue and Bai Meng looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "It didn't take long from decision to departure. In fact, it was decided that Xiao Baizi would come alone, but later I decided to come in person. I need to hear some details from Xiao Cha and the military advisor in person before I can rest assured." He looked at Shen Cha and then at Jin Jing, "They... have already given me a very satisfactory answer."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Cha smiled slightly, turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Your Majesty has already made an agreement with us. During the five days he stays here, he must obey our words. Otherwise, we will send him back."
"Well done, you still know the difference between the important and the important." Qin Zheng nodded, glanced at Bai Meng who thought he had escaped, and inserted a knife without hesitation, "Unlike the commander-in-chief, he will only follow your majesty. What a nonsense!”
Bai Meng covered her heart and sighed softly. It was so... frustrating to take the blame!
