Chapter 239: Su Tan Faces Off
Even though the person Su Tan was scolding was not Emperor Qinglong, Emperor Qinglong still felt like he had been slapped hard in the face.
Maybe Song Tingchen is his favorite minister.
And he and Song Tingchen are men.
It seems that men and men have always been natural allies.
Even though Emperor Qinglong was the high and mighty emperor, and he clearly needed Su Tan to say something that would not affect his plans for the throne, when he heard Su Tan insulting Song Tingchen, he would subconsciously stand on Song Tingchen's side.
Perhaps men and men are like the yellow-eared mushroom. No matter what their status is, they take root together, as if they are born to stick together.
Su Tan's insult to Song Tingchen here is equivalent to insulting him as the emperor.
Even if Su Tan was once a noble lady and her father was once a loyal minister of Emperor Qinglong, so what?
The person he trusts most now is Song Tingchen.
Even if Su Tan is good at fortune-telling, even if she needs something from Su Tan, as long as he, the emperor, issues an order, Su Tan will have to regard her husband as her heaven.
Instead of saying some outrageous and crazy things here!
Emperor Qinglong's forehead was bulging with veins. "I will issue an edict now, allowing you to go with Song Qing..."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was another loud thunder outside, followed by bursts of crying, as if Chengzhao Palace had been struck by lightning again.
Emperor Qinglong's eyes suddenly widened.
But this was not the end. Suddenly, a white light flashed before his eyes, and the table in front of him was smashed into pieces. All the delicious delicacies on the table were scattered all over the floor, leaving the room in a mess.
As early as when the first thunder sounded, Lu Zhiheng had already reached out and covered his daughter's ears.
Suisui is not afraid of these.
She just widened her eyes and said blankly: "...Grandpa Emperor, it seems that another palace has been struck by lightning. This time, it seems that even your own palace has been struck by lightning."
"Is this... is God angry?"
How many sins must one have committed to cause the heavens to be displeased and strike down the emperor's palace!
Emperor Qinglong was so frightened that he almost lost control of his imperial dignity and sat down heavily on the ground.
But the next moment, his face was filled with anger and murderous intent.
He stared at Su Tan with a serious look. He had just been about to grant Su Tan and Song Tingchen a new marriage when thunder sounded in the sky, and the second thunder struck right in front of him.
How could such a coincidence happen!
"Su Tan, I ask myself, have I been too kind to you, allowing you to go so far as to commit such an evil act that is beyond the reach of Heaven?"
Emperor Qinglong's eyes were gloomy, as if he was going to kill all nine members of the Su family in the next moment.
But Su Tan just raised the corners of his lips slightly to smile, and looked at Emperor Qinglong calmly, with an expression that was particularly innocent and bewildered, pretending to be confused even though he knew the truth.
"Your Majesty, I really don't understand what you're talking about. If you want to talk about insubordination, I've already spoken to General Song Heli about my feelings. How can that be considered insubordination?"
"If I, a humble servant, were to deliberately curry favor here, concealing my true thoughts and only speaking well of General Song, I wonder if this would also be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
As long as Emperor Qinglong didn't tell her how she had committed the crime of insubordination, she would pretend not to understand.
Now she just wanted the thunder to strike the palace.
If Emperor Qinglong continued to ignore his wishes and forced her to marry Song Tingchen, forcing her to return to the place that she found disgusting and an eyesore, she couldn't guarantee who would be struck by the next thunderbolt.
Song Tingchen's face shattered inch by inch.
He really didn't expect that Su Tan would commit such a heinous crime of treason just to avoid being with him. Not to mention that the lightning struck Chengzhao Palace, she even made the lightning strike in front of His Majesty!
How dare she!
How dare she!
"Su Tan, don't you think you've gone too far? Why don't you apologize to His Majesty?"
Su Tan slapped Song Tingchen in the face with his backhand.
A smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe the hand that she had used to slap Song Tingchen.
"Since General Song feels that my scolding you is an act of insubordination, then I might as well make this act of insubordination more thorough, so that I can bear this false reputation in vain."
After saying this, Su Tan did not hide the disgust between his brows at all. He knelt down straight and apologized to Emperor Qinglong.
"Since Your Majesty also feels that my dislike for General Song is an act of disrespect, then please punish me."
"It's been a long time since this subject has disliked General Song. This slap is just my way of getting back some of the interest I owed General Song."
Emperor Qinglong almost vomited blood.
He stared at Su Tan intently.
"You clearly know that General Song and I are not talking about this."
Su Tan blinked his eyes. Although he was kneeling, his back was straight and his face showed a bit of confusion.
"I really don't understand what Your Majesty is talking about. If it's not about this matter, then why are you accusing me of insubordination?"
