Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 44
Chapter 44 Into Ashes
It was late at night when Song Liqing returned to Qilin Mansion.
“where did you go?”
Jun Qiyu was actually waiting in the room, and as soon as Song Liqing entered, he questioned him.
“Go out and relax for a while.”
“You should wait for me to come back. I can go with you. You run so far and it’s getting dark. Do you know that I will worry about you? You have limited mobility, what should you do if something happens at night?”
Jun Qiyu talked a lot in a row, and it seemed that she was really impatient.
“Really? Day and night make no difference to me.”
“You…” Jun Qiyu didn’t feel comfortable listening, “Can you not be so mean when you speak?”
“mean?”
Song Liqing didn’t mean to blame Jun Qiyu secretly, he just said it as he wanted.
“Your Highness wants to listen to what you want, but I’m not Hu Nuer.”
Jun Qiyu was speechless.
“Forget it, just go home safely.”
Jun Qiyu chose to accommodate him.
After all, it was my fault first.
“Don’t you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake? I bought it for you. Come on, you have a taste?”
Song Liqing actually had no appetite at all, whether it was meaty or sweet, it would easily make him sick, but if he didn’t eat it, Jun Qiyu would question him for a long time, so he just opened his mouth and took a small bite.
Watching him chewing, Jun Qiyu had a different feeling.
“You are still the same as before. You have to leave a small piece of your mouth. Is it for me?”
Jun Qiyu leaned forward, wanting to lick the crumbs around his mouth like she did when she was a child.
Song Liqing noticed that Jun Qiyu’s breath was approaching, and he dodged back, but Jun Qiyu’s lips failed to touch him.
Then Song Liqing quickly wiped the crumbs from his mouth with the back of his hand.
Jun Qiyu looked at him disappointedly, his desire to resist couldn’t be more obvious, which severely hurt Jun Qiyu’s self-esteem.
“You said it, I bought you sweet-scented osmanthus cakes myself, and let you do what you want, and the past will be revealed!”
Song Liqing wanted to be perfunctory, or if he smiled at Jun Qiyu now and said a few nice words, Jun Qiyu would stop pestering her.
But he found that no matter what, he couldn’t smile.
Before he could answer, Jun Qiyu held the back of his head and brought him to her lips.
Jun Qiyu’s kiss was so sudden and ferocious that Song Liqing had no room to resist.
“Um…no…don’t!”
Jun Qiyu was not willing to stop, but at least he relaxed some movements, trying to arouse Song Liqing’s love with gentle and lingering kisses.
But Song Liqing never responded at all, and the tip of his tongue kept avoiding it.
When Jun Qiyu let him go, Song Liqing was able to breathe, and he couldn’t stop panting.
Song Liqing was picked up by Jun Qiyu in the air, put him on the bed, then leaned over and kissed his forehead, then kissed his cheek, chin, and wanted to continue to open Song Liqing’s collar, Song Liqing grabbed his neckline .
Jun Qiyu was useless this time, he whispered into Song Liqing’s ear.
“Liqing… we don’t care about past suspicions, do we?”
“What does your Highness mean?” Song Liqing asked.
“I’m willing to let go of my prejudice against you and start to understand you again. Don’t be obsessed with the previous misunderstanding, okay?”
Song Liqing had mixed feelings in his heart.
If only Jun Qiyu had said this earlier.
If he hasn’t completely died. .
If he didn’t know that he was the former prince.
It’s a pity that things are impermanent, and there is no if at all.
The knot between them cannot be untied by a simple misunderstanding.
“Why?”
Jun Qiyu said in a slightly awkward tone: “I may be… I like you a little bit, Father is right, you are the most suitable to be my princess.”
His liking is simple and naive.
Song Liqing heard it, but there were not too many disturbances in his heart.
Song Liqing always felt that Jun Qiyu was a spoiled child, but sooner or later he would know that no one would wait for him to grow up.
“Your Highness, rest early, don’t oversleep and miss the morning tomorrow.”
After Song Liqing finished speaking, he turned sideways.
Jun Qiyu also lay down and hugged him from behind.
“You said you would never leave me, right?”
“I said so.”
But sorry, this sentence is going to break my promise.
Song Liqing thought to herself.
It’s not that hard to not love someone, is it?
Jun Qiyu got the answer and fell asleep satisfied.
“I knew that you couldn’t bear to leave me, and you couldn’t leave me.”
Jun Qiyu put her arms around Song Liqing and whispered.
He has always been so confident.
…
Song Liqing woke up earlier than Jun Qiyu, and now it is inconvenient for him to help Jun Qiyu change clothes as before, so Xiaodi will do it for him.
Song Liqing sat aside.
“Your Highness, the clothes I asked them to make are more gorgeous than before. Do you like it? Does it fit?”
Jun Qiyu happily put on her new court clothes, looked down, and it was all in his favor.
“The fit couldn’t be better! How do you understand my mind so well?”
Song Liqing smiled.
“I taught Xiaodi all the snacks you like to eat. If you want to eat in the future, ask her to cook for you.”
Jun Qiyu looked back at him.
“You didn’t make it yourself, it must taste bad.”
“I can’t do it anymore.” Song Liqing replied.
Jun Qiyu thought he was talking about his injury.
“Don’t worry, your eyes will be healed, and your hands will be healed soon.”
As if comforting, Jun Qiyu walked over and kissed Song Liqing on the forehead again.
“I’m leaving, you wait for me to go home.”
“Um.”
Jun Qiyu strode to the door, but was suddenly stopped by Song Liqing.
“Your Highness.”
“Is there anything else?”
Jun Qiyu stopped.
“fine……”
Song Liqing seemed to have a lot to say, but kept it in his heart.
“And the ink you like to use, put it in the bottom book box, use a cinnabar pen for reviewing memorials, don’t use it in a mess again.”
“Oh.” Jun Qiyu said strangely, “I want to use you to help me get it?”
He still felt that Song Liqing was a little strange, he kept giving orders, although he usually babbled, always explaining some minutiae, but today, all he said were words that didn’t make sense.
Jun Qiyu was a little surprised, so she turned her head several times when she left.
At this time, it was a clear autumn, and Song Liqing was sitting there, the morning sun was warm, and the shadows of bare branches fell on his plain robe. Song Liqing’s face was calm and calm, and his body seemed to have a halo.
This is an unusual day.
So Jun Qiyu never thought that this would be Song Liqing’s last day in Qilin Mansion.
…
Song Liqing sat quietly for half an hour.
“Xiaodi, move the charcoal basin to the yard.”
“Okay.” Xiaodi followed suit, and just asked, “Do you want to bask in the sun in the yard?”
“Call a few more people to help me lift my suitcase out.”
Although Xiaodi was puzzled by Song Liqing’s order, he never questioned it.
Although Song Liqing brought a lot of clothes from the General’s Mansion, he usually took these foreign things lightly, so he often wore only a few.
“Here is your favorite cloak.”
Song Liqing took it over, put it on his lap and stroked the fluff on it, just when Xiaodi thought he was wearing a cloak to keep warm, Song Liqing threw it on the burning charcoal fire.
“Ah!” Xiao Di exclaimed, “My lord, what are you doing?”
“It won’t be needed in the future.”
Song Liqing said flatly, picked up another piece of clothing, and threw it into the charcoal basin.
In late autumn, things are dry, and as soon as the clothes touch the charcoal fire, they ignite quickly, and the fire snake rises.
Xiaodi was startled, she just watched Song Liqing’s expensive clothes thrown into the flames.
Song Liqing reached out and touched an object in the suitcase.
He took it out and groped in his hand for a moment, it was the kitty red envelope, which contained the jade engraved with his and Jun Qiyu’s names, and two locks of hair that were connected together.
When Xiaodi saw it, she panicked and said, “Young Master, this… this cannot be burned, you regard it as very important, and it has been hidden at the bottom of the suitcase!”
Song Liqing remained indifferent, and threw these things, together with his hair, into the brazier.
“My lord… this is the hair knot between you and His Highness, it will really be gone after burning it!” Xiaodi said regretfully, “Even if you don’t love His Highness anymore, this is also a testimony of your bond, don’t you leave a memory for yourself Want to?”
“I won’t stay anymore. We have never been suitable. It’s my wishful thinking that has been supporting me.”
Song Liqing’s face was illuminated by the fire, and his heart was not as calm as his surface.
Xiaodi didn’t object anymore, even she didn’t expect Song Liqing to be so resolute, she stood beside Song Liqing, accompanying him.
“My lord.” Xiao Di unknowingly shed tears, “You were so kind to His Highness early in the morning, I thought you forgave him and reconciled with him as before.”
“How come? There is no reconciliation in the world. No matter how well sewn the clothes are torn, they will still be scars. I don’t hate him, but I don’t love him anymore. He’s not worth it.”
Xiao Di retorted: “You are lying to yourself, you clearly hate His Highness, otherwise why would you burn all your own things?”
“I, I want to burn all traces of me, so that for the rest of his life, no, he won’t be able to find me or see my things in the next life.”
Although Song Liqing spoke softly, his unwillingness and regret, anger and reluctance were hidden in his words.
Feeling the heat of the flames, Song Liqing slowly untied the tassels on his waist.
Xiaodi grabbed his arm and begged: “My lord… this is something you value more than your life, are you really willing?”
Song Liqing put the tassel in his hand and stroked it over and over again.
This is his passion, his obsession, and his heart knot.
“Xiaodi, help me see if the tassels have lost all their color?”
“Hmm…” Xiaodi choked up, “The color has faded.”
“good.”
Song Liqing nodded, the tassel tassel drew an arc in the air, and was finally engulfed in the flames. The flames in Song Liqing’s pupils jumped, as if paying homage to the last love.
Song Liqing sat in front of the copper basin and guarded it, and the fire was slowly extinguished.
His past is buried here.
He reduced his love to ashes with his own hands.
“Xiaodi, let’s go.”
Xiao Di helped him up.
“My lord, where are you going?”
“Go to the court.”
Song Liqing replied.
