Chapter 177: Arrival in Chongzhou
Song Tingchen touched Song Xiao's still hot forehead, feeling sorry for him. He squatted down and explained to him, "Xiaoxiao, you are still sick now, you can't run around with me."
"Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Chen and I are going here to provide disaster relief."
"After a great disaster, there will always be a great epidemic. We don't know if the victims over there have been infected with the plague. You are in great danger going there."
"Xiaoxiao, be obedient. Stay at home and wait for daddy to come back."
Song Tingchen slowly touched Song Xiao's head.
"Don't worry, Dad will definitely ask your mom to bring him back this time."
"No matter what is said, our family will stay together."
Song Tingchen had a premonition that he would definitely meet Su Tan this time.
He humbly asked Emperor Qinglong for an imperial edict.
As long as there is an imperial decree, Su Tan has to marry him even if she doesn't want to.
Song Tingchen knew that he was extremely despicable.
Perhaps in Su Tan's eyes, he has always been a despicable person.
He didn't care what Su Tan thought of him.
It doesn't matter even if you hate him, resent him, and want to kill him day and night.
As long as Su Tan can stay by his side.
It doesn't matter even if everyone in the world calls him shameless and a despicable rat.
Complain if you want to complain, hate if you want to hate.
This time, he would never let Su Tan leave again.
Even if he has to use all means, he wants to keep Su Tan by his side.
He had already lost Su Tan once.
I don't want to lose her a second time.
Song Xiao shook his head and just held Song Tingchen's sleeve tightly, "No!"
"Dad, I want to go with you!"
"I'm going with you!"
"I don't want to be alone anymore!"
Song Xiao's tears fell down and he cried out of breath. He was still ill. During this period, he kept dreaming that Su Tan wanted to kill him. He would not be happy until he saw Su Tan with his own eyes and heard her say in person that she forgave him.
"Father, I don't want to stay in the General's Mansion!"
"I don't want to stay in the General's Mansion!"
"The last time you went away, Grandma became paralyzed. Then you went away again, and that wicked woman Liu Qingyin killed Grandma and put the blame on me!"
For Song Xiao, Song Tingchen's trip away was like a nightmare.
Even a long time ago, Song Tingchen went on a long trip and brought back Liu Qingyin.
As a result, his originally happy family suddenly fell apart and was completely destroyed.
Song Xiao cried so hard that she could hardly breathe. She just held onto Song Tingchen's sleeve tightly and refused to let go. "Dad, I want to go with you! I want to go with you?"
"Dad, please, take me away!"
If he continues like this, he will go crazy sooner or later.
Looking at Song Xiao's red and pleading eyes, Song Tingchen couldn't say no no matter what.
He knew that Song Xiao's spirit was almost on the verge of collapse.
Take Song Xiao with you. As long as he guards the place closely, maybe nothing will happen.
But if I don’t bring Song Xiao…
I'm just afraid that this child might lose his composure and do something extreme.
Song Tingchen finally relented, "Okay, I'll take you with me."
"But you must take your medicine well. If you run into your mother again, remember to apologize to her and don't call her a bad woman anymore."
Song Xiao nodded obediently, "Okay."
He would never say that A Niang was a bad woman again.
He already knew he was wrong, and he only now understood that in this world, his mother was the only one who loved him the most.
From then on, he never believed that anyone would treat him better than his mother.
Before leaving, Song Tingchen finally took Song Xiao with him.
Coincidentally, Lu Zhiheng also brought Suisui with him.
Song Tingchen frowned. Song Xiao was several years older than Princess Zhaoyang Lu Sui Sui Nian Nian, and he was still prone to illness. Sui Sui was only a three-year-old child.
Song Tingchen looked at Lu Zhiheng. As a fellow father, he finally spoke, "Your Highness, we'll be passing through Chongzhou and Yingzhou. I heard there are corpses and bones everywhere along the way. The princess is still young, so it's really not appropriate for her to go with us."
Lu Zhiheng held Sui Sui in his arms, gently waving a folding fan, slightly raising his eyebrows, with a graceful posture.
"General Song, don't judge people by their appearance. Although Suisui Nianniang is young, she is more useful than a father like me."
When Song Xiao saw Lu Suisui, he remembered the scene where Su Tan protected him and said that he was the child who was unwanted by his mother.
For some reason, I suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
He pursed his lips and couldn't help but say, "That kind of place is very dangerous. I don't know if there are wild beasts or even monsters."
He looked at Lu Suisui and puffed his cheeks. "I heard that monsters like children like you the most. You'd better not go with them."
And to be honest, if Su Tan saw Sui Sui, there would only be Sui Sui in his eyes, not him.
He didn't want to have another person take away his mother's attention.
Especially...
Especially when Song Xiao saw Lu Suisui, he would inappropriately think of Changle who had come to claim his life in his dream.
Sui Sui held in his mouth a piece of candy stick specially made by the cook in the mansion, suitable for children to eat.
She bent her head and took the candy stick in her hand.
"I'm not afraid of monsters and demons."
She turned her short hand and pointed at a place behind Song Xiao. Her eyes, like big grapes, rolled around and said, "Fire!"
Song Xiao thought that Lu Suisui's move was aimed at him and quickly dodged it, but he saw a poisonous scorpion behind him suddenly caught fire.
"Destroy!"
Sui Sui turned her fingers again, and the poisonous scorpion was burned to ashes.
She glanced at the dumbfounded Song Xiao and snorted softly, "You'd better protect yourself."
She is a big kid.
The master said she was amazing.
She doesn't need anyone's protection.
She can fight off the monsters by herself.
"If any beast dares to come near me, I will set it on fire!"
Sui Sui raised his chin proudly as he spoke, "Master once said, no matter how good your kung fu is, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife!"
“No matter how fierce a beast is, it is afraid of fire!”
Song Xiao: “…”
Song Xiao was a little dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that Princess Zhaoyang Lu Suisui, who was only a three-year-old child, had such ability.
Mother originally liked Lu Suisui more than him.
Now... now that you see how powerful Lu Suisui is, will you dislike him even more?
Song Xiao was a little uneasy, and tugged at Song Tingchen's sleeve with a bit of loss and sadness, "Dad."
Song Tingchen didn't say anything, just patted Song Xiao on the shoulder.
Lu Suisui stopped dwelling on this question and turned to look at Lu Zhiheng. She looked at him with her head held high, and stars seemed to appear in her eyes. "Father, will I meet the fairy sister this time?"
Lu Zhiheng threw the fan to the attendant beside him and touched the broken head, "It should be okay."
"But you can't cause trouble for your fairy sister, understand?"
Suisui nodded his little head.
"No, I'm a big kid now. I'm very powerful. I can fight alongside the fairy sister!"
Lu Zhiheng curled his lips and smiled, "Okay, when the time comes, you will fight side by side. Remember to protect your father."
Lu Zhiheng’s main theme is that a father’s status depends on his daughter.
"Okay!" Suisui nodded his head happily, and raised his chin proudly, "Don't be afraid, Daddy, I will protect you!"
Song Xiao pursed his lips. Seeing the heartwarming scene between the father and daughter, for some reason, he seemed to feel even sadder.
Obviously Su Tan is his mother.
Why can we see each other whenever we want?
He himself couldn't see it.
Song Tingchen also felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
After all, Lu Zhiheng didn't do it on purpose.
He couldn't argue with a little kid like Sui Sui.
He couldn't expect a three-year-old child to be sensible and considerate enough to take Song Xiao's feelings into consideration.
This little episode soon passed, and the group set off again. When they arrived at Chongzhou City, Lu Zhiheng indeed saw Su Tan at the gate of Chongzhou City.
He came with the imperial edict, and the soldiers guarding the city had no choice but to open the city gates, but they did not dare to let the people in.
The victims waited for a long time and finally saw the people from the imperial court. At this moment, they no longer clamored to go in.
It's not that they finally got hope.
But they were really scared.
After all, there were so many precedents in front of them. The consequence of forcing their way into the city was that they would be stabbed by the spears of the soldiers defending the city, with blood all over the ground.
In the first month of the year, everything will have a new beginning.
People still hope that they can survive this New Year.
When spring comes, perhaps all the suffering will be solved?
The moment he saw Su Tan, Song Xiao's eyes immediately turned red, "Mother!"
