Chapter 425: What did he ask you to do?
After all, the remains of those children have not been found today.
Perhaps, it is impossible to find them all.
After all, the bodies of those children had long been burned to ashes.
Their bodies were already incomplete, and something was missing from them before they were burned to ashes.
Lu Zhiheng held Suisui in his arms, not allowing her to struggle, and just walked forward without saying a word.
Sui Sui's eyes are red.
"Dad, why won't you let me go?"
"I can protect myself."
Lu Zhiheng, who always doted on Sui Sui, got angry with his daughter for the first time. "Do you think you are the best in the world just because you know a little bit about academics?"
"Didn't you see the plight of those children?"
"The youngest ones were only about your age. Did you see what happened to them?"
"Who knows whether the culprit is a human or a ghost? If you act so recklessly and really lose your life, you won't have time to regret it!"
Not to mention the older children.
The death was even more tragic.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Zhiheng and Su Tan saw how vicious this person's intentions were and how cruel his methods were.
Lu Zhiheng and Su Tan are human beings. As human beings, they will have selfish desires. How could they allow Sui Sui to put himself in danger like this?
Sui Sui shook his head.
Her eyes were red.
"But--"
"No buts!"
Su Tan's face suddenly darkened. "Sui Sui, you are still young. These things shouldn't fall on you, and you shouldn't be asked to take care of them."
What are other people doing at Sui Sui's age? Sitting in the arms of their parents and acting like a spoiled brat.
Still playing tricks on kids of the same age.
Maybe they will bring trouble to their parents from time to time, and their parents will have to hold their noses to feed them and clean up their messes.
Children like Suisui's age should be carefree.
No matter what, you shouldn't get involved in these disputes.
It is even more inappropriate to lose a life for this.
Sui Sui pursed her lips tightly. She knew that whether it was Su Tan or Lu Zhiheng, they both said these things for her own good.
But Sui Sui's body trembled.
"But I do."
Sui Sui raised her head, her small and tender face was covered with traces of tears, but her eyes were full of determination, maturity and understanding, not at all like a three-year-old child.
“I just want to do something for them!”
"Even though I know the consequences of doing this may cost me my life, I'm not afraid!"
She is not afraid, she is really not afraid!
She was even prepared to die!
She was not afraid of death, she was just afraid that once she closed her eyes she would dream of the miserable deaths of those children and the painful faces of those uncles and aunts.
"It doesn't matter if I die, as long as I can catch those murderers and give them justice."
She is not afraid of death, she really is not afraid!
Whether it was the things she experienced during the snow disaster in Yingzhou or the things she saw now, they all made the young Sui Sui understand a profound truth.
Sometimes death is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is living.
It would be better to die than to live in hell like this.
It’s better to die!
Sui Sui whimpered in pain.
Su Tan sighed deeply.
She reached out and took Sui Sui from Lu Zhiheng's arms.
A tear fell on Suisui's face.
Sui Sui looked up in surprise.
At this time, Su Tan asked her, "Sui Sui, we all know that you are a very capable child. We know that you are very brave. We know that you care about the people of the world. We know that you cannot bear to see the people of Dawn suffer even the slightest injustice."
They also knew that Suisui was a child with a heart full of love, and that he would even risk his own life to give justice to the people of Liming.
"But have you ever thought about what would happen to your father if you passed away suddenly?"
"What should I do?"
Su Tan reached out and used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from Sui Sui's face.
"Don't worry if you laugh at me, I liked you the first time I saw you. I wanted to be close to you, and before I knew it, I treated you like my own child."
"Sui Sui, do you want your father and I to endure the pain of losing a child?"
Sui Sui lowered her head and tears suddenly fell.
Su Tan's question was very cruel.
She didn't know what to say.
She just hugged Su Tan's neck and suddenly burst into sobs.
Lu Zhiheng lowered his eyes.
"I know you just want to catch the real culprit behind this, so you're willing to sacrifice your life for it."
Lu Zhiheng has always admired people like this.
But he doesn't want his child to be such a person.
He himself is petty and selfish. Although he is a nobleman, he is just like the common people.
I just want my children to be well.
If his own child could not be well, he would rather turn a deaf ear to the situations outside, just like Emperor Qinglong, who would pretend not to see anything until the matter reached his ears.
At this moment, Lu Zhiheng was shocked to realize that he was as selfish as Emperor Qinglong in his heart.
They are the same, they only have themselves in their eyes.
They seem to have great love in their hearts, but when it comes to making real choices, they always only care about their own interests.
Lu Zhiheng said in a self-deprecating tone, "Sui Sui, just be your father. I am just like your royal grandfather, an out-and-out bad guy."
"You can blame me or blame me, but I can't ask you to die."
He can go to his death himself, but he cannot ask Suisui to go with him.
Sui Sui opened his mouth and was about to answer when he heard a heart-wrenching cry from his mother in the distance.
Sui Sui turned her head subconsciously and saw Song Xiao with red eyes, being held by Song Tingchen, looking at Su Tan with a sad face.
He saw A Niang hugging someone else again.
The person that A Niang was holding was Sui Sui, who looked somewhat similar to Chang Le!
Song Xiao's tears fell down, and he felt as if his steps were filled with lead, and every step was extremely heavy.
He stared at Su Tan with a wronged tone, "Mother, even now, you still won't forgive me?"
"Mother, you haven't hugged me for a long time!"
Why would A Niang rather hug someone who has nothing to do with her than hug herself!
Am I not the child that my mother gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy?
I just did one thing wrong. Is my mother going to hold a grudge against me for so long?
Su Tan turned around expressionlessly, and seeing Song Xiao's expression like that, he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.
"That's enough, Song Xiao. I'm very busy now and don't have time to fool around with you."
"I don't have time to be your mother."
His mother had died in his previous life.
She was not so vicious and cruel as to kill her own sister's son.
Song Xiao's body shook, but his eyes became even redder.
It was Song Tingchen who shook his head.
He stared at Su Tan, at Sui Sui who was in his arms, and inappropriately thought that he was holding Chang Le in the same way in his dream.
However, Changle in the dream had not grown up to be a year old and had died when he was this old.
Song Tingchen felt a dull pain in his heart.
He pursed his lips and looked at Su Tan with a pale face.
"Are you busy with the refugees coming to Beijing?"
Song Tingchen asked this.
Su Tan paused, his eyes fixed on him.
"You are well-informed."
"But why are you asking about these things? It's none of your business anyway."
Lu Zhiheng sighed inwardly.
When did he and Su Tan become like this? When they faced each other, they only had bad words to say or nothing to say.
He remembered that it wasn't like this before.
A good family was eventually destroyed by his own hands.
Song Tingchen closed his eyes, feeling the pain of his heart being torn apart.
His voice was a little muffled after all.
"Your Majesty sent for me."
"That's what your Majesty told me."
Su Tan laughed twice sarcastically.
"From this perspective, Your Majesty is truly well-informed. I just wonder how the people at the Dali Temple who Your Majesty has instructed to investigate this matter are progressing."
"Your Majesty, what did you want to tell me by calling you here? Could it be that you want me to take full responsibility for this matter? To find the real culprit?"
If this is true, Emperor Qinglong was not too derelict in his duty as emperor.
In his heart, he didn't take his people too seriously.
Perhaps Emperor Qinglong's intention was to bring her head to him if she failed to handle this matter.
But at least, it can be indirectly confirmed, and now he still has some weight in his heart.
Unfortunately, Song Tingchen's answer ultimately disappointed Su Tan.
