Chapter 469: Dismal Ending
Su Chenyu looked at Jian Suining and answered seriously: "Jian Suining, there is only one person who can influence my decision."
Jian Suining felt bitter in his heart. He knew who this person was without even having to guess.
"Jian Suining, you actually know that I am the most suitable person to go to the southwest to handle the affairs." Su Chenyu added.
"It is a blessing for the people of Dayu to have a king like Your Majesty." Jian Suining looked at Su Chenyu who was so close to him, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from this person.
Even after standing at the pinnacle of power for six years, Su Chenyu seemed to have never changed his mind and was always able to make the most correct choices.
On the contrary, his own thoughts, compared with Su Chenyu's open and honest appearance, seemed a little shameful.
The piracy incident may be a small matter, but it has troubled local officials in the southwest for many years. Obviously, there are greater interests involved. Moreover, the southwest is adjacent to South Vietnam. If it is not handled properly, there may be a conflict with South Vietnam. Su Chenyu's appearance is the most appropriate.
Jian Suining understood this principle, but she did not expect Su Chenyu to make a decision so quickly.
Su Chenyu shook her head: "Don't think too highly of me. I have said that there is only one person who can influence my decision."
Jian Suining understood the deeper meaning of Su Chenyu's words, but he didn't dare to ask.
At this time, Cai Quan walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from that place that the emperor has passed away."
After hearing the news, Su Chenyu still had no ups and downs in her heart. Over the years, she had long been accustomed to not feeling any emotions: "What's going on?"
"I heard from the palace servants that the body already had a smell when it was found." Cai Quan felt a little emotional. He had already seen Su Lin's body, and it was completely different from what it looked like six years ago. One could imagine how much torture Su Lin had endured in the past six years.
Now that he is dead, perhaps it is a relief for him.
"Let's bury him. There's no need to alert the people in the Ministry of Rites."
Cai Quan asked again: "Will it be sent to the imperial mausoleum?"
Su Chenyu replied expressionlessly: "No need, so as not to dirty the Su royal family's land."
"I understand." After understanding Su Chenyu's meaning, Cai Quan immediately went to do the work.
Su Chenyu looked at Jian Suining and said, "Jian Suining, go to the prison for me and meet someone."
"Yes." Jian Suining agreed.
The deepest part of Zhaoyu Prison was filled with death row prisoners who had committed heinous crimes. Fan Heng was imprisoned in the innermost cell.
"Prime Minister, you don't know that Fan Heng is a weird person. He never talks to anyone. He just stares at the wall every day, and no one knows what he is looking at." The jailer took Jian Suining inside. "But don't worry, someone goes to check on Fan Heng every day. He is still alive."
After walking for a long time, they finally reached the deepest part of Zhaoyu. It was summer now, and standing here, Jian Suining actually felt the chill rising from the soles of his feet.
Standing outside the cell, Jian Suining looked at Fan Heng who was sitting on the ground with his back to him and said, "Fan Heng, we haven't seen each other for many years. Don't you want to see an old friend?"
Perhaps it had been a long time since he had heard such a familiar voice, Fan Heng forgot who it was for a moment. He slowly stood up with the help of the ground, turned around and looked at Jian Suining standing outside the cell.
Having lived in darkness for many years, Fan Heng’s eyesight was not as good as before. It was not until he got closer that he realized it was Jian Suining.
While Fan Heng was looking at Jian Suining, Jian Suining was also looking at Fan Heng.
Fan Heng's hair was already gray, his face was full of old age, and even his body was hunched over.
If Jian Suining had not known Fan Heng, he probably would not have been able to imagine that this man had been so high-spirited and ambitious six years ago.
