Chapter 187: Su Tan scolds Emperor Qinglong
Song Tingchen lowered his eyes and gently touched Song Xiao's head.
He looked at the sky. The sun was out today, and the sunshine was exceptionally bright. Such a day seemed to indicate to him that everything would become brighter and brighter in the future.
He touched Song Xiao's head and said softly, "Yes, Xiaoxiao."
"Your mother will definitely come back to us."
"Don't worry, your mother is yours, no one can take her away from you."
He firmly believed that no mother in this world would really hold a grudge against her son for a lifetime.
Su Tan is no exception.
Su Tan is angry now.
But as long as he keeps Su Tan by his side and lets Su Tan see his and Song Xiao's sincerity, even if she doesn't forgive him, she will forgive Xiao Xiao sooner or later.
It was just as Song Tingchen thought.
He and Song Xiao were both looking forward to returning to Beijing as soon as possible.
However, due to Emperor Qinglong's poor governance, there were too many victims and countless people became sick.
Su Tan and Lu Zhiheng think every day about how to comfort the victims, how to take care of the victims, and how to reduce casualties.
The return date seems to be a long way off.
Even after the entire New Year was over, Su Tan and Lu Zhiheng seemed to show no signs of returning to Beijing.
On the contrary, Su Tan and Lu Zhiheng became closer because of the affairs of the disaster victims.
Several times, Song Tingchen would catch Su Tan and Lu Zhiheng talking "intimately".
Sometimes Lu Zhiheng would still hold Sui Sui in his arms.
He, his daughter and Su Tan standing together really looked like a family of three.
This scene was so dazzling in the eyes of Song Tingchen and Song Xiao.
No matter how Song Xiao tried to please and get close to Su Tan, he was always met with Su Tan's cold stare.
Song Xiao finally couldn't sit still anymore, even though Song Tingchen had told him many times not to punish others by hurting himself.
He still couldn't help but go to extremes.
Song Xiao cut his wrists.
He endured the pain and cut his wrist.
He just wanted to see Su Tan regret it.
I just want to see if Su Tan will still be as cruel as before now that I am about to die.
Song Tingchen's eyes were about to burst out.
He ordered his subordinates and the imperial doctors to keep a good lookout for Song Xiao, and he personally broke into Su Tan's tent.
At this time, Su Tan was treating an old woman.
Song Tingchen grabbed Su Tan's hand, his expression sad and his eyes bloodshot, "Come with me!"
"Song Tingchen, am I giving you too much face?"
Su Tan's brows furrowed, and he suddenly drew his sword and slashed it hard on Song Tingchen's right arm.
Her brows were cold, and she exuded a gloomy aura. She looked at Song Tingchen with disgust.
"Did I warn you not to cause trouble for me here?"
"Song Tingchen, I don't ask you to be like His Royal Highness Prince Chen, doing everything by yourself, keeping all the people in your heart, running around for the victims, and even wearing out several pairs of shoes."
"But at least don't cause me trouble again and again."
Perhaps it was because Song Tingchen often went out to fight, and he had seen too many dead people. So many people died one after another in front of him, but he still seemed like a hollow man, with no reaction.
Only when Song Xiao's interests were affected would his emotions fluctuate for a moment.
Song Tingchen's pupils trembled violently.
Su Tan compared him with Lu Zhiheng?
Everyone knows that Lu Zhiheng was a reckless person in his past. He was a devil with a terrible reputation. If it weren't for the fact that he was the son of Empress Yuan, he would not have been indulged by His Majesty and would not be able to be so arrogant and domineering until today.
The wounds on his arms were like slaps in the face, one after another.
At this moment, Song Tingchen didn't know what to think. He felt it was very ridiculous and even laughed out loud.
He stared at Su Tan without blinking, "In your eyes, His Royal Highness Prince Chen is naturally perfect. He just puts on a show. He works day and night, so that now everyone knows that His Royal Highness Prince Chen cares about the people even more than His Majesty does."
Song Tingchen had long been accustomed to the intrigues and the back-and-forth in officialdom. Sometimes he saw his towers rise and sometimes he saw them fall.
At the beginning, he was also very sincere.
Later it was discovered that there were countless parasites in the officialdom.
In his eyes, everything Lu Zhiheng did was just a way to win people's hearts.
Perhaps Princess Zhaoyang Lu Suisui was still young and really felt sorry for the victims and could not bear to see them suffer so much.
But as for Lu Zhiheng, it was just an act. I didn't expect that someone like Su Tan would take it seriously.
Song Tingchen originally thought that after hearing such words, Su Tan might refute it.
But who knew that while Su Tan was treating the old woman, he raised his head expressionlessly and looked at Song Tingchen coldly.
"So what if it's just a show?"
"A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. Even if he was putting on a show, even if he was trying to win people's hearts, so what?"
If only the people's voices could be heard by those in power.
I'm afraid the people would rather all the dignitaries in the world were as fond of acting as Lu Zhiheng.
"Song Tingchen, you always used to say I was a noble lady from a high-class family, ignorant of the sufferings of the world, and always looking down on others. Now I realize that you are actually like this. Why don't you just eat some meat porridge?"
"Why, do you think that if His Royal Highness Prince Chen is just putting on a show, he doesn't deserve the gratitude of the victims?"
It is still unknown whether Lu Zhiheng was acting.
Su Tan raised his lip, looked at Song Tingchen with a mocking look, sneered, and said slowly: "At least the high and mighty monarch you are loyal to is not even willing to put on a show."
"If Lu Zhiheng hadn't exposed this matter in the court, do you think these people would still be alive? Would they still be able to wait until the day when the disaster relief food arrives?"
Not to mention that the disaster relief food arranged by Emperor Qinglong was not enough.
Song Tingchen's pupils constricted, and he looked at Su Tan with a very unfamiliar look as if he had never known the person in front of him.
"Duke Dingguo is loyal to his emperor and patriotic. How could you say such outrageous words?"
She actually compared His Majesty with Lu Zhiheng!
He even hinted that Your Majesty is not as good as Lu Zhiheng, that ruthless guy!
It's ridiculous!
Su Tan looked at Song Tingchen quietly. Did he think that by moving his father out of the story, he would unconditionally believe that everything his father believed before was right?
Su Tan raised his lip. "My father was indeed loyal to his emperor and patriotic, but the country is now in ruins, which is enough to prove that the emperor my father loved might not be a wise ruler."
"Besides, he worked hard to govern the country in his early years. There have been many foolish and incompetent monarchs in the past, and it is not necessarily the case that the current emperor is an exception."
Her words and even her expression were full of disdain for Emperor Qinglong.
It seemed that the person who used to enter the Purple Palace and say a few good words about the king was gone.
Song Tingchen couldn't understand.
"Your Majesty is deceived."
"He also doesn't know how much the people of Yingzhou have suffered."
Song Tingchen subconsciously defended his father.
Su Tan chuckled.
She slowly glanced at Song Tingchen, sneered, and then said, "If thinking this way can comfort General Song, then General Song will be happy."
Song Tingchen was shocked.
Now Su Tan is so rebellious that he no longer takes Emperor Qinglong seriously.
So after returning, will she really obey Emperor Qinglong's order and marry him as he wishes?
