All the people in Song Yuanqing's courtyard were standing under the hall, their heads bowed one by one, their faces full of fear.

"Father, what are you calling your daughter to do so late?" Song Yuanqing calmly entered the front hall, and then pretended to be surprised and saluted the third prince, "Why is the prince here?" Yuan Qing didn't know that the prince was here, so he was rude. ”

The third prince smiled gently, and he couldn't see the slightest ruthlessness, "You and I often meet, why are you so angry?" You know, I've never liked that. ”

Song Yuanqing nodded at him and returned a slightly apologetic smile. As for what she thinks in her heart, I'm afraid even the third prince can't guess it.

After Song Yuanqing sat down indifferently, Pingwu Hou asked with a straight face, "Where did you go just now?" ”

Song Yuanqing pretended to be stunned and swept over the people in his courtyard, and explained with "dodging eyes": "My daughter went out for a while. ”

"Where did you go?" Pingwuhou's tone was a little more stern.

"Go to ......" Song Yuanqing deliberately pretended to be spitting out, and he didn't tell the truth for most of the time. In the end, Pingwuhou finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, threw the porcelain cup in his hand to the ground, and shouted at his daughter: "You kneel down for me!" ”

A trace of "panic" flashed on Song Yuanqing's face, and he hurriedly stood up and knelt down in front of his father. The anger on Pingwuhou's face was clear to everyone. I saw him raise his right hand suddenly, as if he was going to teach his daughter a lesson. But after his eyes swept over the people in the hall, he gasped for two more breaths and slowly lowered his hand.

“！ It's so late, you don't rest in your room, what urgent matter did you go to Dingyuan's General Mansion? ”

Seeing that everything couldn't be hidden, Song Yuanqing had no choice but to tell the truth, "My daughter went to find Grandpa Xiao." ”

"Why do you have to go to the old man so late?"

"Daughter...... The daughter also wanted to go again, but ...... But if I go again tomorrow, Lord Lin in the prison will have to suffer one more night, and my daughter doesn't want to. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned. The hall was terrifyingly quiet, and even Pingwuhou didn't immediately follow his own daughter's brain circuit.

"Are you Lin Xiangyuan? He's been arrested and imprisoned, what are you ......" Pingwu Hou stopped halfway through his words. A flash of clarity flashed across his face, and after a few seconds, he continued, "Are you for Lin Yuan?" "Although her daughter has not directly had emotional affairs with her on weekdays, what a shrewd person Ping Wuhou is, she has naturally noticed some of her daughter's thoughts.

"Yes! The daughter is for Lin Gongzi. Song Yuanqing no longer concealed it, and said so loudly in front of everyone, "My daughter is happy with him, and I don't believe that the Lin family will be the mastermind behind the assassination of the monarch, so I want to save him." Father, you don't want to get involved in this matter, I can only turn to Grandpa Xiao for help. ”

Her words were reasonable, and people couldn't find the slightest mistake, and even the third prince was very surprised. Although he didn't fully believe Song Yuanqing's words, he believed at least six or seven points. Seeing this, he also felt that he had no need to stay any longer, so he got up and said goodbye to Pingwuhou, turned around and led people out of Pingwuhou's mansion.

As soon as the third prince left, the rest of the hall were all their own people. Pingwuhou waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat, and then reached out to help his daughter up.

"As soon as the third prince came, the assassins entered the palace, and you seem to be a little involved with the assassins, so you acted like this in a hurry for your father, don't blame your father." Pingwuhou sighed, and for a while his heart was mixed.
