Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 39

Chapter 39 I Don’t Love You Anymore!

“A scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken can’t pry his mouth open. Are you showing mercy because of his status, or is it that the entire prison is useless?!”

Jun Qiyu scolded sharply, and the jailer lowered his head in fright.

“Your Highness, we don’t dare to show favoritism. No matter whether he is the son of the general or the concubine, he is still a prisoner in the prison. It is Song Liqing who has a tough bone and survived the punishment…”

“Okay, I don’t want to hear excuses… Open the cell door, I’ll do it myself!”

The jailer obeyed him, opened the lock, and Jun Qiyu walked in.

Song Liqing was lying on the wet haystack, his life and death unknown.

A head of black hair was messed up at this moment, stained with blood, Jun Qiyu brushed his hair away and looked at his face.

Jun Qiyu only moved slightly, but Song Liqing woke up in pain.

He was in pain everywhere, even a slight touch could involve his injuries everywhere.

“Well……”

Song Liqing made some noises. He hadn’t drank water for a long time, his lips were dry and wrinkled, and his throat was dry and hoarse.

“I don’t…I don’t.”

Song Liqing’s first reaction after waking up was to deny it, thinking that he would continue to be tortured.

But when he opened his eyes, he saw Jun Qiyu’s face.

Song Liqing shuddered subconsciously, he had never thought that this face he had been thinking about day and night, now every time he saw it, it made him tremble with fear!

“Qi…” For some reason, Song Liqing could no longer utter the word Qiyu, “Prince… Your Highness.”

Jun Qiyu didn’t speak, his lips were as thin as a knife, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes, his fingers wandered on Song Liqing’s body.

There was a whip wound on his shoulder, a cut on his arm, his finger… Jun Qiyu pinched his finger and looked at it carefully for a moment.

The ten fingers, which were originally slender as green onions, are now all swollen and distorted.

Jun Qiyu rubbed it lightly twice, but Song Liqing got his stomach twitched twice, almost wanting to vomit.

“It hurts…” Song Liqing begged weakly, “His Royal Highness…”

“Father always praises you for your good handwriting.”

Jun Qiyu let go of his hand, Song Liqing could only keep his fingers in the air, not daring to touch anything, otherwise he would be in pain.

“You must have spent a lot of time practicing calligraphy, right? Is it a pity that you will no longer be able to write flamboyant articles?”

Song Liqing didn’t dare to think about it. At that time, in order to write well, his hands were callused. In summer, he always held the pen, and his palms peeled off due to sweat, and in winter, he was covered with festering chilblains.

“Your Highness!”

Song Liqing grabbed Jun Qiyu’s clothes.

“I… I have been tortured, and I can’t write with my hands… It can be proved that I am innocent. I did not poison, I did not harm anyone, do you believe me?”

If he hadn’t learned of Song Liqing’s life experience, Jun Qiyu might not have doubted him so much.

But after all, he is the evil seed of the former emperor…

They are destined to be the kind who hate each other deeply and cannot tolerate life and death!

Because Emperor Xuan took the land of the previous dynasty from Emperor Xiao, Jun Qiyu didn’t believe that Song Liqing was the posthumous son of the former royal family, so he had no hatred in his heart.

He firmly believed that Song Liqing had poisoned Emperor Xuan to death and avenged his biological father!

So Song Liqing’s tenderness and affection in front of him were just his disguise. He had planned this marriage with all his heart, just waiting for today.

“I want to hear the truth from you.” Jun Qiyu asked, “Song Liqing, you keep saying you love me, have you really loved me?”

Song Liqing’s hand gradually loosened.

He suddenly felt that he was very ridiculous.

What he wanted in his life turned out to be a question.

“Ah–”

Song Liqing let out a hoarse laugh.

“Hehe…hahaha!”

Song Liqing’s smile hurt him, he coughed violently, coughing up tears.

Jun Qiyu didn’t understand his smile, she had been deceived by him all the time, so what right did he have to laugh so sarcasticly? It seemed that he was the one who was let down!

“Shut up!”

Jun Qiyu couldn’t hear his laughter.

“His Royal Highness… What did I do to make you still ask me such a question? Why do you think I want to poison your father?”

When Song Liqing said the rest, he was almost exhausted, he retched twice, and finally spit out a small mouthful of blood.

He knew that he had lost so much blood that he couldn’t vomit much blood at all.

“You just have to answer me!”

Song Liqing took a few breaths before he stopped retching. He had long since ignored any elegant gestures, and wiped the blood off the back of his hand at will.

“I… really love you so much, when did it start? It’s been a long time, long before you met me in the academy when you were five years old, I don’t remember… maybe my father joked to me, Prince Your Highness hugged me on the first birthday, and I thought it was a predestined fate. So if you have a domineering personality, I will tolerate it. If you are playful, I will indulge it. Even if you like meat and meat, I will tolerate it. Let me leave it to you… I like all your advantages, and I have tolerated all your flaws as a habit, and I almost engraved you in my bones… I have never believed that childhood sweethearts can also become strangers…”

Jun Qiyu’s head went numb.

After all, he was young at that time, and he only regarded Song Liqing as a good playmate and a follower who could be ordered around.

There is indeed a bit of childhood affection, but Jun Qiyu has experienced so many people and things later, how could he take the feelings during that time seriously?

“Later, the emperor bestowed the marriage, and I really thought I was the luckiest person in the world. When I was named on the gold list, and at the wedding night in the bridal chamber, how could I take the difference? I took your arrogance as immaturity, and your flair as temperament… I always thought that one day you would grow up and the misunderstanding between us would be cleared up. I waited and endured. Have you ever thought that I am a body of flesh and blood and will be injured? No matter how hot people are, they will also be cold?… Looking back and thinking about this period of time, it turned out that I loved the wrong person, and I was really worthless for myself. Jun Qiyu…you come here, I…now tell you.”

Inexplicably, Jun Qiyu followed suit, shortening his body so that he could hear what Song Liqing was about to say.

Rather than saying that Song Liqing was announcing to Jun Qiyu, it was better to say that he was notifying himself.

“I… don’t love you anymore… I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore!!”

He repeated these five words, each time with more force.

Song Liqing finished speaking with holding his breath, gasping for breath, his body softened, his face was pressed against the dirtiest floor of the cell, half of his eyelids were covered by his wet hair.

He no longer has the strength to fight for it, and he accepts his fate.

Jun Qiyu has been worshiped and flattered since he was born, so he has always been one-sided and self-centered.

But at this moment, he actually felt a little guilty, and he was not so sure…

Song Liqing said he didn’t love him anymore.

Is this something important? Jun Qiyu didn’t think so.

Jun Qiyu should not care whether Song Liqing loves him or not! Even as early as the day was right.

But why is his heart disturbed?

This Song Liqing was obviously weak, but Jun Qiyu always felt that he had slipped away and was no longer under her control.

Jun Qiyu had an inexplicable fluster, but because of his personality, he convinced himself after a while that he would never make mistakes, and he will not make mistakes now.

“Song Liqing, is it now that you don’t love me? You just can’t pretend and you’re showing your true heart.”

Jun Qiyu became cold again.

Song Liqing’s eyes were blurred, and Jun Qiyu’s face gradually blurred, as if a dark cloud was covering his eyes.

He let go completely, so no matter what Jun Qiyu said, he didn’t bother to explain and refute, not to mention, where does he have the energy to argue now?

“Song Liqing! Answer me, you are only injured, don’t pretend to be dead!”

Jun Qiyu couldn’t get an answer, and was impatient and full of hatred.

“Do you dare to say that you are not scheming? You are trying to please the father, is the father not good enough for you? How do you repay him by hand-picking you as a prostitute, supporting you, and bestowing you with honor? His life and death are uncertain now, are you happy? Already?! This is what you want!”

The sound of Song Liqing’s tinnitus occupied his head, and his head was about to burst from the pain. He could only hear Jun Qiyu’s intermittent roars, and Song Liqing couldn’t understand what he said.

He and Jun Qiyu seem to be people from two worlds.

They are all talking to themselves.

Song Liqing remained motionless, and Jun Qiyu gritted his teeth with hatred.

Furious, Jun Qiyu picked up the iron rod used for searing in a charcoal stove, with the red-hot character “Jun” on the end of the rod.

“Tell me, what poison did you poison your father!”

Song Liqing did not respond.

There were blue veins on Jun Qiyu’s forehead: “Song Liqing! Don’t provoke me! Do you really think I don’t have the heart to do it? If this imprint is branded on you, you won’t be able to wash it off for the rest of your life!”

“I don’t……”

“If I had known that you were a scoundrel from the previous dynasty, I should have cleared you up…Father has treated you well, you are ungrateful!”

“ah!!–”

A shrill scream echoed in the dark sky prison, and even the mice hunting for food heard it, squeaking and crawling into the mouse hole.

Jun Qiyu dropped the torture tool and looked down at Song Liqing who was writhing on the ground.

A brand mark appeared on Song Liqing’s arm, his flesh was scorched black, and white smoke was still coming out, his whole body trembled and twitched unconsciously.

After being branded, Jun Qiyu regretted it a little, he just lost his mind for a while… But the matter has come to this point, there is no room for turning around, if he is not cruel, he will not be able to find out the way to detoxify!

Song Liqing slowed down, his body was curled up into a ball, his face was full of tears, and his hair was sticky.

Jun Qiyu saw his lips move, but there was no sound, she didn’t know what he was talking about.

“what are you saying?”

Jun Qiyu leaned down and got closer, but still couldn’t hear clearly.

When he got closer, Song Liqing suddenly bit his shoulder, as if desperately trying to bite off a piece of meat.

“hiss–”

Jun Qiyu felt the pain and kicked him away.

There were two tooth marks on his shoulders. Fortunately, Song Liqing was not strong enough. Even if he exhausted his last strength, he just bit the skin and bled.

“Song Liqing…”

Jun Qiyu didn’t expect that there would be a day when he would rise up and resist.

“I’ll give you one last chance… Murdering the monarch should have implicated the entire family! Don’t you think about your adoptive father Song Qing, are you going to implicate them and kill them all?!”

The author has something to say:

Let me scold first: Jun Qiyu is a sb with cerebral hemorrhage…
