Chapter 450: Ex-husband's sudden death
"I'll say this one last time, get out of the way!"
Su Tan's eyes suddenly became extremely cold at that moment.
It was even filled with murderous intent.
Song Tingchen's heart sank when he was shocked by her look.
He looked at the sword in her hand, his heart clearly bleeding as if it had been stabbed by the knife, but he still said with pain: "No."
"Su Tan, His Majesty is definitely not what you think. There must be a misunderstanding!"
"At least I want to ask His Majesty in person!"
"Before I know the reason why His Majesty did this, you and Lu Zhiheng must not spread this matter!"
If they do so, where will Your Majesty be?
Song Tingchen knew very well that Emperor Qinglong was not a perfect monarch.
But over the years, loyalty to the emperor has become an indispensable part of his life.
Even though he already knew that Emperor Qinglong was not a good person, and even knew that Emperor Qinglong might be the culprit who caused so many children's tragedies.
He still retained a shred of trust in Emperor Qinglong.
I always feel that maybe there is still room for everything to turn around.
Maybe there really is some hardship involved that he is unaware of.
He always has to ask.
Su Tan's face was already gloomy, and he threw a pill hard at Song Tingchen's face.
"Do you think we're like you, blindly believing everything without a shred of evidence, and firmly believing that all evil deeds must have been done by Emperor Qinglong?"
"Smell this pill for yourself, smell the bloody smell inside! Song Tingchen, this is the good emperor you trust!"
"This is the Lord of the World, who is high above us!"
It was no secret that Emperor Qinglong took elixirs.
When Su Tan asked Lu Zhiheng's people to do something, he still had a trick up his sleeve.
Now that she has doubts, she will not just stay at the level of doubt.
She should find out whether Emperor Qinglong is really related to this matter.
At least she should check what is hidden in the pill that Emperor Qinglong often takes!
Lu Zhiheng is not a good-for-nothing. Even if it is not easy to exchange the pill that Qinglong was going to take that day, it is definitely not an impossible task.
The pill was delivered to Su Tan.
She only needed to sniff lightly to smell the disgusting, strong smell of blood.
The bloody smell was so strong that it was almost hard to breathe.
But Su Tan recited a string of mantras without giving up.
Wait until she releases the wronged souls hiding in her space.
He cast another spell on the pill.
If Emperor Qinglong was not the real murderer, if there was nothing wrong with the pill, and the so-called bloody smell was nothing more than the blood of other animals, then at this moment, the children in front of him would at least not have any reaction.
But unfortunately, Su Tan was destined to be disappointed.
Just as she chanted a string of spells, wisps of white light continued to spread from the pill to the children.
And at this moment, something strange happened.
The souls of some children were actually partially repaired.
The souls of those missing children originally maintained their last appearance before death, but their organs were hollowed out.
But now, some children’s organs have been partially repaired!
Even this scene, she and Lu Zhiheng had seen it once before.
When he saw it again at this moment, Su Tan couldn't help but tremble in his palms.
She stared at Song Tingchen expressionlessly.
Look at this foolishly loyal person coldly.
"Song Tingchen, what else do you have to say now?"
"Are you still going to continue to argue for the so-called monarch in your mind?"
"Why, do you still think that Emperor Qinglong has his own reasons? You've seen every step of his journey, and you still think he's not a sinner?"
Song Tingchen's body shook suddenly, and he took several steps back in a daze.
He stared straight at the scene in front of him, feeling so depressed and uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe.
Song Tingchen listened to Su Tan's cold and sarcastic voice.
"Song Tingchen, you should have woken up a long time ago."
"Emperor Qinglong was never a wise monarch. He was selfish and cold-hearted, only caring about himself. He killed so many children."
"Whatever happens to him, he deserves it."
As Su Tan spoke, he drew his sword and pointed it directly at Song Tingchen's chest.
"I'm giving you two choices now."
"Or join us in exposing the true face of Emperor Qinglong."
"Or, you can go to the underworld first and wait for the emperor you have always been loyal to."
At this point, Emperor Qinglong must die.
As for whether Song Tingchen can survive, it all depends on his choice.
But Song Tingchen closed his eyes tightly.
He saw his hand tremble.
"Su Tan, it's not that I don't want to believe you."
Of course, he had seen the results.
He even knew that the monarch he had always relied on was actually a cruel and evil person.
But he absolutely couldn't let Song Tingchen and Su Tan kill the king together.
He just looked at Su Tan painfully and said, "Everything I have is given by Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"I know you've been brooding over Changle's matter, but Su Tan, can you——"
He wanted to ask if he could give Emperor Qinglong a chance.
At least, Emperor Qinglong was the ruler of the world. Even if he did something wrong, all of his past achievements should not be erased just because of one thing.
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Su Tan had already pierced his heart with an arrow.
Su Tan's eyes were extremely cold, and the expression he gave Song Tingchen was as if he was looking at a dead person.
Her voice was dull and obscure, and the sword tip penetrated two inches deeper.
"Since you are so stubborn, then go and die."
"Song Tingchen, we gave you a chance, but you didn't want it."
If she and Lu Zhiheng had not given Song Tingchen a chance, Song Tingchen would not have been able to stand here and listen to them say so much.
Otherwise, were he and Lu Zhiheng fools? How could they let Song Tingchen eavesdrop on such a big discussion?
What a pity.
Su Tan shook his head, his tone very cold.
She drew her sword and thrust it in again.
"Song Tingchen, you have never disappointed anyone."
This time, Su Tan's eyes were filled with determination.
I will never stop until Song Tingchen is completely dead.
Lu Zhiheng's eyes suddenly changed.
He suddenly remembered that Sui Sui had told him that a mystic could not kill people, as this would result in serious consequences.
He immediately grabbed Su Tan's wrist.
"Su Tan, don't forget what you want to do!"
"You want to ascend to heaven. If Song Tingchen dies in your hands like this, and you are contaminated by karma, all your plans will be wasted!"
"Su Tan, don't be impulsive. It's not worth it for him!"
Su Tan pulled out the arrow with force.
Song Tingchen was exhausted and fell forward. Only one leg was still supporting him, while the other leg had hit the ground hard.
He just looked at Su Tan in a daze, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound.
But he was still unwilling to lower his head and just stared at Su Tan.
Song Tingchen couldn't believe it, his eyes filled with pain, "You...you want to kill me?"
Su Tan, expressionless, stabbed him in the heart with another arrow.
"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second and third time!"
She said coldly: "Song Tingchen, I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."
"It's not my fault."
He is a father himself.
If he had any conscience at all, he would know how much of a blow losing a child is to a family.
But Song Tingchen didn't care. He had clearly seen the miserable plight of these villagers, but he still resolutely stood on the side of the murderer.
How can such a foolishly loyal person have the right to live?
As for whether it would involve cause and effect - Su Tan had no expression on his face.
Her eyes fell on Lu Zhiheng, and her tone was surprisingly calm.
"Your Highness, if it is simply because we cannot be involved in karma that Emperor Qinglong has supporters like Song Tingchen, then that would be a real disaster for the people."
That was when she would really have to bear the huge consequences.
Of course, even putting all these aside, Su Tan still has a reason why he has to do it.
She dreamed of Changle again last night.
Changle said that if she dreamed of children who looked like her, she must stand behind those children forever at all costs to protect herself and those children.
Maybe there are some things that Changle is not convenient to say in her dreams.
But as a mother, Su Tan has already understood the hidden meaning of Changle's words.
But even if Changle didn't say so, she would choose to do so.
She is a human first, and then a mystic.
"If I, for my own selfish desires, watch someone like Emperor Qinglong rise again, perhaps even continue to hold power and enjoy the love of the people, then what is the fundamental difference between me and Emperor Qinglong?"
"So Song Tingchen must die today."
Su Tan had no expression on his face and stabbed Song Tingchen in the heart with another sword.
Perhaps he was afraid that this person's heart would be on the right side, just as it was written in the storybook.
Su Tan drew out his sword again and pierced through his right side.
This is not enough.
Su Tan raised his sword and slashed his throat.
Song Tingchen suddenly fell to the ground.
Before he completely closed his eyes, he heard Su Tan say, "You and I were once husband and wife, destined to be an ill-fated relationship that will entangle us endlessly."
"In this life, you will still die in my hands."
The moment Song Tingchen breathed his last, Su Tan suddenly felt that most of the anger in his heart had dissipated.
It turned out that in this life, she had never truly reconciled with Song Tingchen.
She wanted to dissipate the resentment in her heart, and the only way out was for Song Tingchen to die.
Song Tingchen is dead.
Died at Su Tan's hands.
In his previous life, he was determined to protect Liu Qingyin.
In this life, he was determined to protect Emperor Qinglong.
Su Tan said in a cold voice, "Next, it's the turn of the culprit in this matter."
