Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 49
Chapter 49 How Can You Forgive Me?
The matter of Song Liqing and the crown prince’s reconciliation was aroused in the court, and the news naturally spread among the common people, with different opinions.
Song Liqing hid in the General’s Mansion for three days to avoid all rumors.
Pei Xingxu visited the door several times, but Song Liqing didn’t see him either, not because he didn’t want to see him, but because he didn’t know how to face Pei Xingxu’s kindness to him.
But when the emperor summoned him, Song Liqing had no choice but to go to the palace.
Song Liqing was led by his father-in-law, the palace was big, and he was sweating slightly.
“The emperor is waiting at the dragon threshold in front of you. Princess, be careful of the uneven gravel road under your feet.” The father-in-law reminded carefully.
“Elder-in-law, just call me by my name.”
Song Liqing wanted to clean up her relationship with Jun Qiyu from the bottom of her heart.
“The slave made a slip of the tongue and forgot to change his words. I always feel that you and the crown prince shouldn’t have come to this day. It’s a pity that you are so well matched…” The father-in-law sighed, “I have served in the palace for most of my life. To say something presumptuous, I have watched the prince grow up, I have never seen him so sad before.”
“Is he sad?”
Song Liqing thought about it, even if Jun Qiyu was sad, it was probably because of being betrayed and abandoned, not because of losing him.
The father-in-law nodded and said: “Yeah, he is like an eggplant beaten by Shuang these few days. He loses his mind every day when he goes to court, his clothes are disheveled and his appearance is not clean. They’re all too young.”
Song Liqing’s face was very cold, but his heart was touched after all.
“It’s okay.” Song Liqing put aside distracting thoughts and said, “He will forget about it in a few days, and he is still arrogant and unrestrained.”
“Well……”
When the father-in-law saw that he was ruthless, he stopped talking and led the way with a dull head.
“arrive.”
After hearing this, Song Liqing knelt down and bowed.
Emperor Xuan hurriedly said: “Qing Li, you are sick and injured, don’t stick to false etiquette.”
The father-in-law supported him and let him sit down.
There was a breeze blowing in front, with a slight smell of water, Song Liqing guessed that this place was probably next to the pool in the imperial garden.
Emperor Xuan was not far away from him. It was the first time for Song Liqing to have such close contact with the emperor, and it was always unattainable before.
“You went back to the General’s Mansion for three days, but have you calmed down? Do you still want to separate from Qiyu?”
Song Liqing actually guessed that Emperor Xuan summoned him, probably because of Jun Qiyu.
Song Liqing only said: “I am determined not to change.”
Hearing that he was so decisive, Emperor Xuan knew that even the words of persuasion could be saved.
“It seems that Qiyu really broke your heart. It’s useless for me to say anything for him. Also, you have always been stable and never do anything impulsively. Since you and Qiyu have nothing to do with each other, I don’t care will force you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment.”
Song Liqing breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that his actions would annoy the emperor, and even implicate his father.
Emperor Xuan said: “You don’t need to say thank you, but I feel guilty for Qiyu, he owes you. I will order someone to return all the wedding ceremony you brought from the Song family to the Qilin mansion. I know it will not help, how about it?” , you choose a position you like, return to the court, and make up for you father and son as Zhen and Qiyu.”
Song Liqing wanted to, but he couldn’t do anything.
“I am blind and physically disabled, and I am not qualified for any official position. I can only live up to the love of the Holy One.”
Emperor Xuan didn’t force him, but just said: “Well, I promise to give you an official position, and you can take office when you recover. Li Qing…”
Emperor Xuan suddenly stopped talking, and he hesitated again and again before asking.
“You are so cruel to Qiyu… Is it simply because you don’t love him, or is it because of your background?”
Song Liqing raised his head, his out-of-focus eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
“You know?”
“Of course I know.” Emperor Xuan said frankly, “And what you know is indeed the truth.”
Song Liqing was moved, with sadness on his face.
Hu Nuer didn’t lie to him.
“You know everything, so do you think it is possible for Qiyu and I to be reunited? Even if we are forced together, I will always have a grudge, and I can’t let go of it. He will always be wary of me, worried that I will be like a Hunu Just the same, forbearance of revenge.”
“I can see your character, and you don’t hate it.” Emperor Xuan changed his subject, “Although that Hu Nuer didn’t lie to you, he didn’t tell you, did he? I ordered Song Qing in private. Secretly raising you and changing your identity, I just want you to put aside the grievances of the previous generation and live a good life.”
Song Liqing opened his mouth in surprise, this was the first time he knew this.
I am a remnant of the previous dynasty, but Emperor Xuan chose not to cut the grass and root out the roots. Song Qing raised him with painstaking efforts, how could I hate them?
Song Liqing has nothing to do with him other than his blood being the former emperor’s.
Song Liqing shed a tear.
“Father… I’m sorry.”
Emperor Xuan, who has always been calm, softened his sharp eyes.
“You are finally willing to call me Emperor Father.” Emperor Xuan said regretfully, “It’s a pity that it’s too late.”
Song Liqing untied a knot in his heart, and walked a little more easily when he left the palace.
But he still ran into Jun Qiyu.
“Mr. Li!”
Jun Qiyu spoke only when she stood in front of him.
Although Song Liqing couldn’t see him, he turned his head subconsciously to avoid him.
“You know that the emperor summoned me, and you specially wait here?”
Song Liqing exposed him when he opened his mouth.
Jun Qiyu said eagerly: “You don’t see me, Li Qing, these days I go to the General’s Mansion every day, but you don’t see me, that’s why I made such a bad plan…”
“See you now? Then please make way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
Song Liqing replied indifferently, then turned to talk to the person who led him.
“Eunuch, I don’t want to stay here, please take me to the carriage quickly.”
Song Liqing passed by Jun Qiyu’s side, and Jun Qiyu smelled a faint scent of medicine on his body, as if…it seemed to have started in Qilin Mansion, but at that time Jun Qiyu thought the smell of medicine was bad, so he Tell him not to bring the medicine to the bedroom.
Only then did Jun Qiyu know that Song Liqing had been drinking so many bitter medicines, which hurt his stomach, and he would retch easily when encountering meat, bitter and spicy food.
“Liqing…” Jun Qiyu chased after him and asked, “Tell me, is what Qi Miao said true? You have a disease called blood exhaustion? Why didn’t you tell me?!”
Song Liqing had no other reason, but when he wanted to tell Jun Qiyu many times, Jun Qiyu used his actions to swallow his words back into his stomach.
What mood should he tell him again?
“I didn’t deliberately hide it from you. I don’t expect to play a game of dying secretly and making you regret for the rest of your life. Jun Qiyu, I’m about to die of illness in front of you, and you didn’t even see it with your eyes.”
Song Liqing spoke harshly, but Jun Qiyu couldn’t refute at all.
“You… don’t mention that word, my heart hurts…”
It was the first time that Jun Qiyu was afraid of life and death, and the word death made him flustered.
“I beg you Jun Qiyu, you don’t need to think that I’m dying, you just need your comfort and pity, I really don’t need it, okay?”
Jun Qiyu denied it: “I’m not pitying you, I’m really afraid of losing you, Li Qing, it doesn’t matter if you hate me or not, but you can’t use your own life as a bargaining chip, I would rather you come here well Hate me for revenge, and I don’t want to see you…”
Song Liqing’s mood surged for a while, and he had to admit that Jun Qiyu could always break his peace of mind, and finally accepted his fate, but was disturbed by Jun Qiyu casually.
“After leaving you, I had a very happy life, so if you want me to live longer, don’t appear in front of me.”
Jun Qiyu looked at his back, couldn’t bear it anymore, strode to catch up with him, and hugged him from behind.
Jun Qiyu never thought that holding him like this would be a kind of happiness that cannot be expected.
Just being so close to Song Liqing, he could feel the warmth of his skin and hear his heartbeat, and he felt a kind of great joy that was lost and found again.
“Jun Qiyu!”
Song Liqing’s reaction was very strong, and he wanted to tear his arm around her.
“You let me go!”
Jun Qiyu refused to let go, but he didn’t dare to use too much force, because Song Liqing’s thinness was beyond his imagination, he only had a small body in his arms, and even the strength to struggle was extremely weak.
The current Song Liqing is as fragile as a grain of sand, which may flow away from his fingers at any time, and he can’t hold it.
Ever since Song Liqing left Qilin Mansion, Jun Qiyu missed him day and night, and hugging him now, just wanted to get closer, he was really moved.
“Liqing, don’t leave me, okay? Let’s let go of the matter of reconciliation. I know that I misunderstood you and hurt you in many things before. I have reflected on it in the past few days. I am willing to correct what I did wrong, okay?”
Fate is as fragile as thin ice, if it breaks, it breaks, how can it be reunited?
Song Liqing couldn’t break free from his hand, and said weakly: “If the world’s affairs can be undone by an apology, it would be too cheap.”
“Then you can hit me, how about it? If you come back ten times and a hundred times, I will accept it.”
Song Liqing’s hand injury has not healed, how could he hit him?
He smiled lightly and said, “You are really strange. When you were by your side, you wanted to drive me away, but you clamored to cherish me when the tea was cold. Jun Qiyu, not everyone in the world is always around you turn.”
A few words made Jun Qiyu realize that he really didn’t seem to be qualified to stalk, so she slowly let go.
“Liqing, on the day we got married… I was too temperamental to be a gift with you, and you begged me to go back. In the past two days, I bought new red candles and put on new window grilles with the word “happiness”. After everything, I want to have a cup of wine with you, can we do it all over again?”
Song Liqing had a sore nose.
This is his regret.
He will only have this one wedding in his life, and he will never be able to drink that cup of wine.
“What’s the point of you doing this?”
After all, Song Liqing walked straight forward, he didn’t want to turn back, and it was impossible to turn back.
Jun Qiyu shouted loudly on the spot.
“Song Liqing! How can you forgive me? I am willing to do everything!”
Song Liqing stood still for a moment and left a word without looking back.
“How on earth can you let me go?”
