Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 40
Chapter 40 I’m So Cold
Hearing his father’s name, Song Liqing’s eyes froze for a moment. He got up to grab Jun Qiyu, but Jun Qiyu kicked his hand away.
“My father…it has nothing to do with my father! Jun Qiyu, you hate me, hate me…it has nothing to do with my father! What did you do to him?!”
Jun Qiyu looked at Song Liqing with contempt, and said, “Three hundred and seventy-three people in the Song family, including servants, have been convicted and imprisoned.”
Father Song Mansion…why? It became like this overnight?
Song Liqing couldn’t imagine that his father was the brother of Emperor Xuan who lived and died together! How could Jun Qiyu…
Song Liqing was burning with anxiety, his heart was about to burst, and he was in endless pain, but his tears had dried up, and there was a sound of “uh…ah” from his throat, and he had nowhere to vent.
“My father is… a generation of Zhongliang. He made great achievements for Jingguo… He and the emperor went through life and death. It shouldn’t be like this. He shouldn’t be treated like this!”
Jun Qiyu was indifferent to his petition.
“They are all accomplices of your henchmen! It’s a crime… to kill everyone!”
Song Liqing’s heart stopped suddenly, his eyes went dark, and the buzzing sound in his ears went straight into his head.
For a moment, he could not see or hear, as if in chaos, he was a stone, sinking forever, submerged in the abyss of the sea, completely cold.
In the darkness, Song Liqing heard Jun Qiyu’s sound like a bell, “Chop all over the house”.
Slash all over the house…
Song Liqing hated himself. His father raised him, but in the end he would drag him down and kill him all over the house?
But he couldn’t figure it out, how did he fall into this abyss step by step?
Is it his doom? Or does he deserve it?
Jun Qiyu saw him weeping silently with his mouth open, this painful look didn’t look like a fake.
“Song Qing is just your adoptive father, and you still know that you are in pain. Father is my blood relative, and I can do anything for him!”
Song Liqing heard the sound of Jun Qiyu walking out of the prison.
“Wait…Jun Qiyu! I plead guilty! I plead guilty!”
Song Liqing grabbed the ground and crawled towards Jun Qiyu.
“It was me who poisoned… My father has nothing to do with the Song family! If you want to punish me, kill me… I am the chief culprit! I deserve to die! You let my father go, I beg you… I Kowtow to you!”
How could Song Liqing kneel up, he could only raise his head, kowtow heavily to the ground, kowtow again and again.
“Song Qing will ask Zhan three days later. If you want to save him, just before that, tell me what kind of poison the emperor has.”
Jun Qiyu left the dark sky prison, the door closed with the sound of iron locks hitting.
“Jun Qiyu…Jun Qiyu!!!”
Song Liqing’s hoarse roar was hidden in the darkness…
…
When Jun Qiyu returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the officials were waiting in the hall.
“You don’t abide by your duties, why are you all gathered in the palace?”
Jun Qiyu walked through the crowd and walked to the dragon chair.
The old minister took the lead and said: “The ministers are worried about the safety of the Holy One…”
“Hmm.” Jun Qiyu said to the ministers, “Everyone has a heart. Father is the Son of Heaven. With God’s blessing, he will surely turn evil into good fortune. … Is there anything else?”
The old minister knelt down and said, “His Royal Highness, the real culprit of the murder of the Holy Majesty has not yet been identified. After all, the Crown Princess is only a suspect. There is no evidence, but General Song was convicted because of this. You also ordered to be executed in three days. I thought it was too hasty. Cause grievances…Should we wait for the Holy One to recover before making a long-term plan?”
“The most urgent thing is that the father is safe and sound!” Jun Qiyu sternly said, “The father is not out of danger, you can’t wait to plead for the Song family! Or do you think that the father is not here, and I am not worthy of being the master?”
“I dare not wait!”
Everyone in the hall knelt halfway, and no one dared to intercede.
Jun Qiyu looked at the other half and said, “What about you? You also came for Song Liqing?”
“Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, three days ago, the excerpts presented by the minister… Uh, Your Majesty has not reviewed it yet.” The number one scholar in the same class as Song Liqing held up the tooth wat to start the memorial.
Jun Qiyu asked: “What’s on the script?”
“Arrangements for the Autumn Festival and…the amount of funding.” The champion replied.
Jun Qiyu scolded impatiently: “It’s just a trivial matter, just let your Ministry of Rites decide, do you need to bother me?”
The champion retreated back in a muffled voice.
Several ministers came up to play one after another, and the incidents were varied, big and small, and Jun Qiyu was dizzy for a while.
“Okay, okay, I will finish reviewing your memorial tonight on behalf of my father, let’s go!”
The courtiers withdrew from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and several veteran officials looked at each other and stayed behind.
“Your Highness, you may not like to hear what our old men say, but as the saying goes, a family cannot be without a master for a day, a country cannot be without a king for a day, the life and death of the Holy One is uncertain, and you will eventually carry this burden on your shoulders. How can a country be ruled by arrogance? If you still get rid of greed…Jing Guo is afraid that he will never regain the prosperity of Emperor Xuan, this is what the old minister said from the bottom of his heart.”
Jun Qiyu was at a loss for a moment, he hadn’t thought that Emperor Xuan would fall, so under the wings of Emperor Xuan, he could be unscrupulous.
When Emperor Xuan fell down, he seemed to be alone. For the first time, he understood why Emperor Xuan always forced him to read historical and academic articles.
“I see.”
Jun Qiyu didn’t get angry, and agreed.
He looked at Emperor Xuan who was unconscious, and looked at the memorial on the table where people could be buried, and he was devastated.
He settled down and flipped through the books.
But he was restless and always distracted, not worried about Emperor Xuan’s safety, but Song Liqing.
“Qiyu, when you become an emperor in the future, you must learn how to deal with political affairs. You can’t always let people do it for you. This is a stupid way.”
“Qiyu, people’s affairs are not big or small. Maybe you think disaster relief funds are trivial, but to the people, it may be the life of the whole family.”
“Qiyu, don’t be impatient. To you, these memorials are nothing more than words, but it is these trifles added together that make up the world.”
“Qiyu…”
The more Jun Qiyu read the memorial, the more he thought about the voice in his heart. In the end, he even had auditory hallucinations. He always felt that Song Liqing was in the palace, beside him, telling him over and over again…
Jun Qiyu’s comments became more and more sloppy, and he couldn’t figure out how to reply to the memorial.
“Drought in the south, Jiangnan, known as the world’s granary, is afraid that taxes will be halved this year, but the Ministry of Household Affairs said that the national treasury is in a hurry. It has only been a few years until autumn, and the expenditure has already been the amount of last year…” Jun Qiyu subconsciously turned her head, “Liqing, do you think…”
There was nothing around me.
Jun Qiyu’s hand froze in the air, and he was at a loss for a moment.
Song Liqing is no longer here, and he has already been thrown into the prison.
Jun Qiyu tore off a piece of rice paper in frustration, and threw it on the ground as if to relieve her hatred.
“You are not the only one who has studied in this world. Without you, I can’t be a good prince?!”
Jun Qiyu was angry, but she didn’t know what she was angry about.
He tried his best to focus on the memorials, but Chengshan’s memorials were endless. He had just finished reviewing halfway, and the sky was already bright, and his eyes were a little dazed by the sunlight outside. Stack memorials.
“Why are there so many things?!” Jun Qiyu supported her forehead with her palm, “When will you be tall?”
“Your Highness.” The eunuch comforted me kindly, “You haven’t closed your eyes for three days, why don’t you rest for a while, I’m worried that you’ll be unwell.”
Jun Qiyu suddenly turned her head and stared at the eunuch. The eunuch thought he had said something wrong again, so she knelt down in fear and gave herself a slap.
“The slave is talkative.”
“I don’t blame you.” Jun Qiyu asked nonchalantly, “Song Liqing… I mean, do they suffer so much day and night as scholars?”
The eunuch felt relieved, and said with a smile: “Chiefing the wall to steal light, hanging the beam to stab the buttocks, they are not only suffering, the most difficult thing is to study for a lifetime, and they don’t know if they can succeed. Why do you ask such a question?”
“fine.”
Jun Qiyu felt very sad, but she didn’t want to admit it.
“Go down.”
The palace was empty, and Jun Qiyu’s eyes were blurred. He closed his eyes and rubbed them, and suddenly a voice sounded in his ear:
“Jun Qiyu… I don’t love you anymore!!”
Jun Qiyu shuddered, came to her senses, grabbed her fist, and snapped a Langhao brush.
“It’s really lingering…”
…
The door of the dungeon was pushed open, and a man in a black cloak was ushered in by the head of the cell.
“Hurry up. Your Highness has ordered Song Liqing not to allow anyone to visit. If you hadn’t got a token from the emperor, I would never have let you in at the risk of beheading.”
“Thank you, my lord.”
Pei Xingxu took off his cloak, took out a gold ingot and stuffed it into the hands of the jailer.
The cell leader received his pocket without a trace: “He’s in the innermost room.”
Pei Xingxu didn’t delay any longer and went straight to the final prison.
When he saw Song Liqing, who was ruined like a willow, his breath froze for a moment.
“Mr. Li…”
Pei Xingxu didn’t even dare to make too much noise, he was afraid that the slightest movement would kill Song Liqing.
He opened the cell door, knelt beside Song Liqing, couldn’t hold him lightly, and held him in his arms.
Everywhere you look, there are wounds.
Pei Xingxu held back, but he couldn’t stop the two lines of tears from falling. The person he dreamed of protecting well was lying in his arms covered with bruises.
“Li Qing…” Pei Xingxu couldn’t say anything else, only howled in his chest, “Woooo…”
Pei Xingxu wanted to hug him tightly, but he didn’t dare, he could only caress his body lightly, his shoulders were so thin that he could barely touch his bones.
His face, when Pei Xingxu saw him for the first time, was startled to heaven, but now his cheeks are sunken and his cheekbones are distinct. Just looking at his appearance, no one would believe that this is the current princess !
The face of peerless beauty was covered with a layer of death…
“Well……”
Song Liqing moved in his arms, like a cat with weak breath, he didn’t have the strength to open his eyes, but frowned and shrank his body, trying to hide himself.
“I’m here, Li Qing, don’t be afraid.”
Maybe Song Liqing recognized his voice, and then gradually relaxed his brows.
“Xingxu…I’m so cold…”
Song Liqing murmured.
The author has something to say:
woo woo woo…
