Chapter 233: Thunder
Song Xiao's eyes were red, but he continued to grit his teeth and said with a sob, "Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Emperor Qinglong: “…”
Emperor Qinglong really felt a little pain in his head.
But he really couldn't do it and completely ignore what Sui Sui had said before.
Emperor Qinglong was never a magnanimous and wise ruler.
He is a petty person and can never tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.
Regardless of whether Song Xiao had said such outrageous words or whether he really did not take the royal family seriously, he felt uncomfortable when he heard such outrageous words.
But as an emperor, it would be a shame to punish a child for his innocent words.
This is too unreasonable.
But at the moment, Song Xiao's eyes were red and his neck was glaring, insisting that he punish her, so he could only go along with it.
Anyway, with Song Tingchen's personality, he will definitely put all the blame on Su Tan in the end.
It can make him feel relieved, and will not really hurt himself or himself, and it can also gain the favor of his favorite ministers. Why wouldn't Emperor Qinglong do it?
He sighed slightly and made a helpless expression, as if Song Xiao was really a pitiful and ignorant child.
"Since you insist on me punishing you, I will obey you."
"Come here, take Song Xiao out and give him twenty slaps."
Twenty boards can be big or small.
Some people may be beaten to death because they cannot bear it.
There are also people who, after being beaten with twenty boards, still act as if nothing happened.
The people below all look to their superiors to see what they are thinking, so as to guess the severity of the execution.
Song Xiao was taken out.
The twenty strokes of the board were just enough to make him cry out loudly and leave his skin torn and bruised.
But it won't really hurt your bones.
It hurts.
But the pain was only on the surface, not inside.
While Song Xiao was being beaten with a stick, Song Tingchen's eyes were almost fixed on Su Tan.
He tried to see two expressions of regret from Su Tan.
I felt a little reluctant when trying to see Su Tan.
Unfortunately, Su Tan's mood has always been indifferent.
It was as if Song Xiao had never been the child he had conceived and carried for ten months.
Song Tingchen felt a sense of suffocation in his heart. For some reason, he was overwhelmed by an extreme emotion. Su Tan didn't want to have anything to do with him or Song Xiao. He felt that the Song family was a prison.
But he just wanted to drag Su Tan back to the cage.
He would hold the kite string tightly in his hand and never let her go.
No matter whether Su Tan hates him or resents him, he will keep Su Tan trapped in his own world for the rest of his life!
Song Tingchen straightened his expression, then knelt down and said to Emperor Qinglong: "Your Majesty, I have a request. I beg Your Majesty..."
Seeing Song Tingchen so impatient, Emperor Qinglong was speechless for a moment. He raised his hand and interrupted Song Tingchen.
"Okay, Song Qing, I know exactly what you want."
As he spoke, he set his sights on Su Tan.
He couldn't help but ask, "Su Tan, back then, you looked only about the same age as me. When you and your father first entered the palace, I felt that you were incredibly talented, better than many of my children."
"At that time, I was extremely envious of your father for having a daughter as outstanding as you."
"In the blink of an eye, you've grown up to this age and become a mother."
As Emperor Qinglong spoke, a look of emotion appeared on his face.
This was originally just a superficial statement.
But unexpectedly, Emperor Qinglong's thoughts couldn't help but drift away for a moment.
It was true that he had envied Duke Dingguo for having such a good child like Su Tan.
It's just that the time was so long ago that even he himself couldn't remember it.
Su Tan just lowered her head. Knowing that the emperor always liked to say something to move her, she did not expose him. She just lowered her head quietly and waited for the emperor's next words.
"Su Tan, as parents, we often don't understand what our children are thinking."
"Don't look at me now, I am already an emperor, but even at this age, I still feel powerless when dealing with the affairs of my children and grandchildren."
"Nothing in this world goes as planned."
"One has to become a parent themselves before they realize how much pain their mischief caused them."
Su Tan heard this.
Instead, he nodded slightly.
Emperor Qinglong was right. Only when one becomes a parent can one understand how their parents felt when they were a child.
Unfortunately, although she was very naughty, she would never deny her biological mother like Song Xiao, nor would she attack her brother like Song Xiao attacked his sister.
"Now that I have become my daughter's parents, they have not yet sent me dreams. My parents are quite satisfied with my performance as a mother."
"I think my parents have long forgotten the naughty things I did when I was young."
She used her strength to effectively counter the words of Emperor Qinglong.
Emperor Qinglong: “…”
Emperor Qinglong simply chose to close his ears.
If no one smiled and said, "The ancients said it would rather demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage, today I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a loud thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
