He treated Lin Su like this, so how could others be the exception?
Su Wenxuan bowed his head and pleaded, "Your Majesty, this is all I ask. You love the people like your own children. Please grant my request."
"Okay, you beg him. As long as he is willing, I will never stop him." Xiao Tang looked at Lin Su, who had not spoken from beginning to end.
Su Wenxuan had only dared to look at him quietly before, but now he was completely mesmerized: "General..."
Xiao Tang clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves. As long as Lin Su dared to show any mercy to this man, he would, he would... He couldn't lock him up!
Lin Su responded indifferently: "I have no interest in you."
He was so indifferent, but Su Wenxuan couldn't accept it: "General, if you didn't care about me, why did you save me in the first place? And why did you send someone to send me back, and not allow others to spread gossip? I know it's hard to talk about your current status, but Wenxuan only wants to stay by your side..."
"If anyone else had been there, I would have saved them." Lin Su glanced at him. "I just hate people who humiliate others. It has nothing to do with who you are. Young Master Su, please don't be so self-indulgent. As for why I sent you back without saying anything, do you want everyone to know? I'm protecting your reputation because you suffered because of me. Since I'm sending you back, I naturally have no intention of you."
His words were so cold and indifferent that Su Wenxuan even forgot about the trembling tears. "Then why did you chase me so hard in Southwest City?"
"It's just a necessary part of playing the dandy role. Since you haven't responded, there's no reason to condemn you now." Lin Su looked down at him and said, "You are so fearless now. It's a blessing that His Majesty hasn't punished you. Go back to where you came from and let go of things that you shouldn't be thinking about."
"If you could let it go, why would Wenxuan come all the way here?" Su Wenxuan looked at him and said, "Wenxuan's dreams are filled with the silhouette of the general. You saved my life that day, and you are the only one in my heart. Even if you are ruthless to me, I just want to watch over you and protect you. You said you would save someone else, but that person is me. How could anyone else be saved by you among thousands of troops?"
Xiao Tang looked at Su Wenxuan. This man was indeed not a completely innocent person. He was even capable of such divisive tactics.
"If I fall into the arms of thousands of soldiers, will you save me?" Xiao Tang asked.
Lin Su's gaze softened as he looked at him. He patted his cheek and said, "How could I let you fall into such a situation where you could be bullied and humiliated by others?"
Xiao Tang's pupils dilated for a moment, and he inexplicably felt that Lin Su's previous rescue of Su Wenxuan was no longer important. Lin Su ascended the throne for him, and conquered the vassal kings for him. The fact that he allowed Su Wenxuan to fall into that situation and save him showed that he had no feelings for this man before.
The atmosphere between the two of them was obviously different. Su Wenxuan had never seen Lin Su so gentle before, and his heart was almost filled with jealousy. He just wondered if he had agreed to this man in Southwest City, would all this tenderness belong to him alone now?
"Ignorance is bliss, but too much talk leads to mistakes. Do you know that speaking out against your superiors will bring consequences to your family?" Lin Su looked at him and said, "The prefect of Wenzhou will be promoted after completing his term this year, but the highest position he can hold in his lifetime is probably prefecture. He will be demoted to magistrate. You should leave."
Being demoted from the fourth rank to the sixth rank is a huge drop.
Su Wenxuan wanted to say more, but heard Lin Su say, "When I saved you, I thought of you as a Shuang'er. If you were insulted, you might not be able to look up at people for the rest of your life. If you can avoid those consequences, you can marry into a good family. Now... don't make me regret saving you."
Su Wenxuan looked at him, but this time he was stunned on the ground, as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head and he felt completely chilled. All the enthusiasm in his heart was cooled by such words. It turned out... he was really wishful thinking.
He wanted him to love him, but if he regretted saving him, it would be equivalent to burying him on the city wall. He risked his life to save him, but such kindness was so badly treated by him. He would probably be really disappointed.
Su Wenxuan lowered his body and crouched down: "General, Wenxuan knows he was wrong."
Lin Su glanced at him and said, "Let's go."
"I just want to ask one last question." Su Wenxuan looked up and said, "Are you interested in His Majesty's marriage or is it because..."
"I was the one who arranged the marriage. Of course I like him sincerely. He is the only one in my eyes and heart." Lin Su said.
"Wenxuan understands." Su Wenxuan knelt again, "I will take my leave. Thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen, for your forgiveness."
He stood up and left, still staggering a little with the help of the child.
After the people left, Xiao Tang stood up silently and said, "Return to the palace."
He suddenly did this, obviously intending to settle scores later. Even though the fault lay with him, jealousy was sometimes unreasonable. Lin Su followed him onto the carriageway, asking, "Are you angry?"
Xiao Tang's expression was indifferent: "The Queen rejected me so decisively and simply, why should I be angry?"
Lin Su: “…”
06's recording never stopped.
It was already night when they returned to the palace. The lights were on and Xiao Tang ordered a table full of dishes to be served. After Lin Su took a bath and changed his clothes, he invited him to the table to enjoy the food.
Pickled fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, hot and sour soup... The vinegar in each dish was generous, even the rice was added with vinegar. Lin Su ate it of course, and there was a fruit plate after the meal.
Lin Su looked carefully and saw hawthorn, lemon, unripe plums, apricots...all of them could make one's teeth sore.
"I think the Queen is a little full just now. Eating some fruit is just right for digestion." Xiao Tang poured water into his mouth, secretly thinking that he shouldn't have accompanied him to eat just now.
Lin Su picked up a hawthorn and put it into his mouth. The core of the hawthorn had been removed, but even though the fruit was bright red, it was still so sour inside that people couldn't help but blink.
But Lin Su just kept putting them into his mouth one by one, even eating the sour lemon without frowning.
Xiao Tang originally watched him eat, and with some doubt, he picked up a fruit, put it in his mouth and took a bite. Suddenly, his facial features wrinkled up because of the sour taste: "Don't you have a sense of taste?"
"Mine is sweet." Lin Su said, holding the red fruit in his hand.
"I don't believe it!" Xiao Tang said he didn't believe it, but he took it and tasted it directly. His eyes narrowed immediately, and there were even some tiny tears on his eyelashes. "You lied to me again!"
"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Su leaned over and kissed him on the lips. Xiao Tang subconsciously licked his own lips, and was a little confused when he found that they were indeed sweet.
