Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 7
Chapter 7 Why did His Highness beat you?
“It would be great if I could go back to how I was before. But I know, you can’t be a child forever, and I can’t never grow up.”
Song Liqing said a few words to himself, feeling sad.
He was at a loss, from now on, he was Jun Qiyu’s man, and there would never be another one in this life.
But Jun Qiyu’s acceptance of him may be far away.
Song Liqing could only swear in his heart that he would do better in the future, that Jun Qiyu would fall in love with him sooner or later, and he waited for the day when he regained his affection.
Song Liqing got off the bed lightly. Every step he took, he felt his wound open again. He endured the pain to deal with the remaining filth on his body, combed his messy hair, and put on clean clothes.
From the bronze mirror, one can see that his appearance is haggard, and his eyes are black and blue.
It’s only been one day and one night, and he seems to be exhausted physically and mentally.
Song Liqing’s temples throbbed violently, and the pain was unbearable. Fortunately, the eye disease came and went again and again, and now he was clear again, so Song Liqing didn’t care about it anymore.
According to the rules, he was going to meet the two saints in the palace today, and now the Empress Xuandi is his in-law elder.
But with his dirty appearance, he dare not enter the palace to face the saint.
The blood on the cut on his head dried up, and after he wiped it with clean water, he couldn’t cover the scar, so he had to borrow Xiaodi’s rouge powder to cover the scar.
Song Liqing couldn’t do anything with the gadgets of this daughter’s house, so he had to ask for help desperately.
“Xiaodi, can you help me?”
Xiao Di took the gouache with a skin color similar to Song Liqing’s and dabbed it gently.
“My lord, you are so white, even whiter than the ladies in the boudoir.” Xiaodi exclaimed.
Song Liqing didn’t take it seriously, he said: “Whether a man is white or not, what does it matter?”
“It’s so enviable. If the young master gets married and gives birth to a baby, he will definitely be as beautiful as a white porcelain doll…”
Xiao Di sensed a slip of the tongue and hurriedly stopped, Song Liqing knew she was unintentional.
“Xiao Di, help me find some ointment for bruises and hemorrhage, don’t let others know.”
Xiaodi was concerned, and asked, “My lord, did you hurt anywhere else?”
Song Liqing was having a hard time opening his mouth.
“No, no, just in case.”
Xiaodi shouted: “No, your complexion is very bad, you must be injured. Look, your neck is injured!”
Song Liqing pulled his collar to cover his neck.
When Jun Qiyu was in love, he didn’t care whether Song Liqing would get hurt or not. He did not strike lightly or hard, and Song Liqing was covered in bruises all over his body.
He hissed, “You whispered…”
Xiaodi was in tears.
“Little girl, why are you crying again?” Song Liqing patted her hand and asked.
“I feel sorry for you son.” Xiaodi sobbed, “Aren’t you really going to complain to the emperor? Why did he hit you at night, Your Highness? And he hit you so hard!”
Song Liqing was momentarily at a loss for words in embarrassment, extremely ashamed.
“No…” Song Liqing didn’t know how to explain it.
“Isn’t it? That’s the reason why you asked me to take the medicine. You are really serious. I will rush in to protect you, at least to persuade you to fight. Next time I will never stand by…”
Song Liqing had no choice but to cover her mouth. This girl is ignorant of world affairs, which makes people laugh and helpless.
After making up excuses for a long time, Song Liqing sent Xiaodi away.
Jun Qiyu refused to wake up for a long time, Song Liqing waited by the bedside for a while, only to realize that the jade pendant she was wearing around her waist could not be found.
The jade pendant is not important, but the tassels on it cannot be lost.
Song Liqing was so anxious that he searched the cave and rummaged through the messy clothes. In the end, he almost dug the whole room, but he couldn’t find it.
“She doesn’t know how to take the flute, and there’s no one else in the room…” Song Liqing thought about it, “I haven’t been to other places, unless I lost it on the way back from Xinglezhai last night…”
Song Liqing was thinking of the fringe tassels, so he went out to look for them, bowed his head and bent down to look for them, and never missed the bushes and flower beds along the road, and asked everyone he met, but no one picked them up.
“Where did you go?”
Song Liqing was sweating anxiously, and his heart was heavy. This was the only bond between him and Jun Qiyu, and it was the testimony of their previous love.
If the tassels are lost, Song Liqing really doesn’t know, what else can prove Jun Qiyu’s feelings for him?
He was terrified.
Song Liqing’s tears had already accumulated in his eyes, he wiped away the tears, looked up and found that he had arrived at the gate of Xingle Zhai.
“Perhaps it was when Qiyu got involved last night and fell into Xingle Zhai…”
Song Liqing knocked on the door of Xinglezhai, and the person who opened the door was a maid assigned to serve Hu Nuer, who was only one or two years older than Xiaodi.
“I’ve seen the Crown Princess.” The maid’s eyes twitched.
Song Liqing explained his purpose: “I’m looking for Hu Nuer.”
“Please excuse Xiaoqin’s offense.” The maid kowtowed, “Your Highness has ordered that the Crown Princess is not allowed to enter Xingle Zhai alone, lest you make things difficult for Hu Nuer…”
“Make things difficult?”
Song Liqing smiled wryly, not because in Jun Qiyu’s heart, he was a mean and savage person, but because Jun Qiyu put more effort into protecting Hu Nuer than protecting him.
“I just dropped something in Xing Le Zhai, so I won’t embarrass him.”
Song Liqing must find tassel tassels, he insisted on going in, Xiaoqin was frightened by his identity, after all, he didn’t dare to forcibly stop him.
Hu Nuer has already woken up. He is wearing flimsy and gorgeous clothes, and he is sitting in front of a table of eight immortals. On the table are some dairy products unfamiliar to Song Liqing, which should be food from the Western Regions.
Hu Nuer raised her eyes to see him, with disdain in her eyes.
“I don’t know who it is. It turns out to be the honorable Crown Princess.” Hu Nuer yawned, “Hu Nuer didn’t sleep well last night and was out of spirits, so I won’t greet the Crown Princess.”
Song Liqing didn’t take it seriously, Hu Nuer had his own proud capital, his blue gem-like eyes seemed to be able to scratch the eyelashes of the heart, no matter where he went, he was an eye-catching stunner.
Jun Qiyu likes novelty, so it is reasonable to be fascinated by him for a while.
“You’re not a Han Chinese, so it’s understandable that you don’t understand the etiquette of the Central Plains, Hu… I don’t know what to call you?”
Song Liqing is not good at communicating with people, especially when the other party is Jun Qiyu’s favorite slave.
Hu Nuer was surprised instead.
“Since I became a captive to today, everyone has spurned me and treated me like a kitten or puppy, but you are the only one who asks my name.” Hu Nuer smiled meaningfully, “But I don’t accept your favor, the prince called me I am a Hu Nuer, I am a Hu Nuer.”
Song Liqing stopped talking, and asked straight to the point: “May I ask if you have seen my jade pendant? It is tied with yellow tassel tassels, and there is a concentric knot on it.”
“Yes.” Hu Nuer replied quickly.
Song Liqing was overjoyed, it was the joy of finding something lost.
“Can you give it back to me?”
Hu Nuer put down a piece of milk tofu and wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief.
“But why should I give it to you?”
