After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

"Your Majesty!" Minister Wen continued to howl, his voice choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, my old mother fainted after hearing the news. We finally woke her up, but she almost fainted again from crying..." This was also the truth, it was really just "almost".

"Your Majesty, Lord Song's pursuit of the murderer in the market is a matter of public affairs. I, a weak scholar, am not in a position to interfere. I only know that Song Wenyuan, who is known for his bravery, could not protect my daughter. It would be better for him to ask for a letter of divorce immediately. As soon as the morning court is over today, I will go and take my daughter back! My Wen family can still afford to raise a girl!"

Who doesn't know that the Wen family is rich? Not to mention raising one girl, it's more than enough to raise eight or ten.

Song Wenyuan raised his eyelids and looked over. Minister Wen was acting very hard, almost crying.

Before that, he clearly saw that Lord Wen, who was watching coldly as usual, took a note from a particularly inconspicuous eunuch while everyone's attention was on the censors, lowered his head and glanced at it quickly before stuffing it back into his sleeve, then rubbed his face and rolled up his sleeves, all in one go. And that eunuch... was his man, so with this inference, the origin of the note was obvious.

The emperor sat there and watched coldly, but nodded in his heart, thinking that the person who was most favored by the whole court was Wen Changling, who always knew how to "cooperate with him and make way for others". He was just an insignificant fugitive, and the matter would be over after a fine of three months' salary. After all, Song Wenyuan still had to investigate the affairs of the Maritime Customs. Could he really dismiss Song Wenyuan for such a person?

But this group of blind people are dancing more happily than each other.

The emperor propped up his chin and coughed lazily, "My dear minister, please stop talking nonsense. How glorious is it for a good girl to be divorced and sent home? After the morning court is over, I will ask the queen to prepare some small toys that the girl likes and send them to the Kejing Marquis's mansion. This will be regarded as a way to comfort the frightened girl on my behalf. How do you think?"

The censor who had just been interrupted finally found a gap and said, "Your Majesty..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cough was heard from the side. In his peripheral vision, he saw Tong Xiang coughing with his fist to his lips. Although he knew what Tong Xiang meant, human life is a life, and now not only has it not been punished, but it seems to have been praised. Where is justice? He paused, straightened his official robe, bowed to the bottom, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Commander Song has exceeded his authority, used heavy punishments privately, and hurt people's lives. He must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

"His Majesty……"

As soon as Yao Yunfeng opened his mouth, the emperor waved his hand to stop him. He turned around and asked Song Wenyuan, "My dear Minister Song, what is your explanation for this?" Those who deserved to be scolded had been scolded, and those who deserved to be punished had naturally been punished. They had been making a fuss for two days over a fugitive, and the emperor was so annoyed that he had obviously lost his patience.

Song Wenyuan bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I have done something wrong, but I did not act beyond my authority, but to seek revenge. At the market, the fugitive kidnapped my wife in order to threaten me to let him escape and continue to do evil. My wife was righteous and would rather die than surrender, so she was seriously injured... As a husband, I can protect the common people but not my weak wife. I am ashamed and angry, so I took this desperate measure and broke into Jingzhao Prefecture to beat the fugitive to seek revenge. But Your Majesty, if I watch my wife's life and death unknown and do nothing, wouldn't I be ashamed of the trust entrusted by the elders of the Wen family, and also ashamed of the reliance and trust of Your Majesty in the imperial decree to grant the marriage?"

In a word, I was just looking for personal revenge, and it was just a fight at most.

The gray-haired censor was dumbfounded, and his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Song Wenyuan, "Sir Song, you are making up stories and confusing right and wrong! If you hadn't taken advantage of your position, how could you have entered Jingzhao Prefecture? Which prisoner in Jingzhao Prefecture doesn't have three or five mortal enemies? How could you, Commander Song, go in and kill people and come out so openly?"

Song Wenyuan was calm and composed. He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. His body language was unusually lively. "Perhaps, those jailers are not capable enough to stop me?" In his reckless attitude, there was a bit of Miss Yuan's shamelessness.

It is true that birds of a feather flock together.

Seeing that the censor was so angry that his gray beard was standing up, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Alright... Injuring someone in the street, especially the daughter of an important official, is a capital crime. However, Mr. Song still needs to be punished for trespassing into the prison and interfering with the investigation of the Jingzhao Prefecture. Just fine him half a year's salary..." Then he thought again and added, "Another ten military sticks - Mr. Zheng, this matter ends here."

Zheng Jixiang, the gray-haired censor, still felt that the emperor was biased after hearing what he said. He raised his hand to say something but was pulled back by his colleagues behind him. Song Wenyuan on the other side had already thanked him calmly and went out to take the military stick. The matter was settled.

The emperor knew that the Ten Military Sticks would not hurt Song Wenyuan, but as a young man, his face was more important than his body. He could use this opportunity to kill his spirit, otherwise, he would be really arrogant... However, it's good to be arrogant, as a young man, you should be arrogant. The emperor sat on the high dragon throne, overlooking the ministers below, with one hand on his temple, not knowing whether he was happy or angry.

As soon as the morning court was over and the emperor had just left, several ministers were about to go to Commander Song's father-in-law to inquire about the situation when they saw that Minister Wen, who had just half-closed his eyes like an old monk in meditation, was no longer there. The only difference was that this time, the figure of Minister Wen left at the door of the hall looked particularly heavy... Perhaps he was in a hurry to visit his seriously injured daughter at the Kejing Earl's Mansion.

……

At lunch time, Song Wenyuan did not reply. He only asked Lin Mu to come back and tell him that there was no danger in the court and that the emperor had shown mercy and only fined him half a year's salary. Now he was dragged by Lord Yao to have dinner and drink, saying that he was going to get rid of the bad luck.

Yuan Ge did not suspect anything this time. He ate his lunch and took a short nap until Wang came with Nanny Sun in a threatening manner.

It was no secret that Song Wenyuan was punished. In addition, the emperor wanted to curb the arrogance of this young commander, so the news reached Wang's ears in a blink of an eye. Wang could not sit still and ran to Luofengxuan. When she saw Yuan Ge sleeping peacefully and calmly under the corridor with a thin blanket, she was even more furious. She pushed away the maid who was blocking the way with an umbrella, walked up the stairs in two or three steps, took the thin blanket and threw it aside, lowered her eyes and sneered, "You sleep peacefully, but my Song family has never had peace since you came into the family!"

"What a jinx!"

Wang was furious and was about to slap him, but she saw the sleeping little girl suddenly open her eyes, her eyes were clear and cold, and she was subconsciously stunned. The coldness came and went quickly, and when she looked more closely, there was only a calm smile in those eyes. Yuan Ge sat up lazily and called softly, "Why is mother here? Is there something wrong?"

Wang suddenly felt powerless, as if she had punched cotton.
