Chapter 115: The Princess Who Was Forced to Die for Her Country by an Ungrateful Man (7)
"The whole family was executed? The whole family was executed? How is it possible?" Song Zichen muttered to himself in confusion.
Didn't he already destroy the Chu Kingdom and bring his exiled parents and entire family back to his side? Why would he be beheaded?
what happened to him?
I still remember that year when I prayed in front of the Huanyu Palace of the Emperor of Chu because the Emperor wanted to execute my entire family.
It was Princess Changle who begged for favor on my behalf!
However, he has always been bothered by the disgust she blurted out when he was trying to suppress his self-esteem and beg her for mercy.
From that moment on, he planned to pull her down from the clouds and let her taste the feeling of humiliation!
And I finally did it!
But, what is happening now?
Is the present a dream, or was he just a dream in the past?
If it is real now, why has he forgotten what happened in the past six months?
This must be a dream!
Song Zichen closed his eyes, deceiving himself by thinking that when he woke up again, he would become a great general of the State of Qi.
However, the burning wounds on his right leg and back reminded him that this was not a dream!
No, he wanted to see Princess Changle and ask her, didn't she love him? How could she let herself fall into this situation!
"Someone come! I want to see Princess Changle! Someone come, I want to see Princess Changle!" He shouted at the top of his voice while lying on the wooden board in the stable.
"Why are you shouting? Are you worthy of seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess? If you make trouble again, I'll break your other leg!" The scolding voice of the stable manager came from not far away.
Because of his involvement, I lost half a year's salary, and he still dared to make a fuss?
Seeing that Song Zichen had stopped moving, the stable manager returned to his bed holding a candle.
Su Li, who sensed something, flashed and disappeared on the bed.
She appeared in the stable invisibly, and with a wave of her hand, the entire stable was wrapped in a layer of barrier, and others could not see any clues.
She then appeared in front of Song Zichen, "Why, I heard you were looking for me?"
"Changle? Changle, let me ask you, shouldn't I be your study partner? Why did I become a eunuch and your horse slave? Why did I clearly remember that my Song family was exiled, but how come they were executed? Tell me!"
"Heh! It seems your past memories have been awakened?"
Su Li curled her lips, "Yes, you were indeed a study partner, and your whole family was indeed not dead! It was Chu Liuli who saved you, but what did you do to her? You trampled on her sincerity, and you gradually turned her into a girl who was as stupid as a pig in the eyes of the world!"
"Chu Liuli? You are not her? Who are you?"
Song Zichen asked in surprise.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that the real Chu Liuli was killed by you a long time ago! I just want you to see what kind of person you will become without Chu Liuli's love for you!"
Su Li's eyes were filled with coldness. "Without her, you are nothing more than someone who can be bullied by anyone. No matter how wild and unruly you are, you are nothing more than that!"
Song Zichen looked at the coldness in Su Li's eyes with a panicked look on his face, "So, you turned back time and let me go back to the year when the Song family was executed?"
"That's right! It seems that your memory of more than half a year has been burned away by the high fever, but your previous memories have been awakened. Then I will help you recover your memories of the past six months!"
Su Li pointed at his forehead, and Song Zichen immediately recovered all his memories.
"Ah!!! Why? Why?"
He held his head, "I have obviously succeeded! I have obviously pulled her down from the clouds, why do I have to go through all this!"
"Oh! Why? I tell you, this is retribution!"
Su Li said calmly, "She was kind enough to save you and your family, but what did you do to her? You gave her weight-gaining drugs, and what did you say when Li Xiurong stole her paintings, which were her own works?"
Song Zichen slowly raised his head and recalled every detail of the past.
That year, Li Xiurong stole the painting of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix which took Chu Liuli three days to paint, and lied at the Spring Banquet that it was her own painting.
At that time, Changle was so angry that he slammed the table, pointed at Li Xiurong's nose and called her a thief.
At that time, Li Xiurong's eyes were red and she looked aggrieved like a frightened little white rabbit.
He knew clearly that it was Li Xiurong's disguise, and that she had been instigating Chu Liuli to be ignorant and unlearned in private.
But for Song Zichen, Li Xiurong is his great assist!
So, when Princess Changle asked him to testify who painted the painting, he said, "Your Highness, it is not shameful to make mistakes. You must learn to take responsibility!"
Changle was completely dumbfounded at that time. Facing the whispers of civil and military officials, her face turned pale.
From then on, Princess Changle became known as a fat princess who was unruly, domineering, and unlearned!
Afterwards, he coaxed her and said, "Your Highness is a daughter of gold. Even if she makes a little mistake, no one in the world dares to criticize her. But if Miss Li really finds out who stole the painting, then everything she has will be ruined!"
Changle asked him crying, "What about me? Will I not be ruined?"
Song Zichen smiled and touched her head and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to think about that. I will always be with you, forever!"
When Changle heard the words "for a lifetime", she became gentle and shy and no longer cared about Li Xiurong's theft of the painting!
He also personally handed Changle bowls of the weight-gaining medicine, "Princess, this is the beauty-enhancing medicine I found especially for you."
"Achen, I don't know why, but after taking this medicine my appetite has increased and my weight has increased. I don't want to take it anymore!" Changle once tried to refuse.
"Princess, this medicine is for your beauty. Your large appetite is just a sign of your growing age. But don't worry, princess. No matter what you look like, you are the most beautiful in my heart!"
Song Zichen raised Chu Liuli into a fat girl with his sweet words that were filled with poison.
"Do you remember?" Su Li looked at him with complicated eyes and asked in a calm voice.
"Where's Liuli? Where did Liuli go? I believe she wouldn't do this to me, let her out!"
Song Zichen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again and asked, "She loves me so much, how could she bear to let me suffer so much! You witch, you took her identity, give her back to me!"
"Oh! You also know that she loves you! Then you killed her father and her elder brother in front of her, and forced her to jump off the city wall. You still have the nerve to say that she loves you!"
Su Li sneered, stretched out her fingers, lifted Song Zichen's collar into her palm, and looked at him closely, "Give it back to you? Do you deserve it?"
"What are you going to do? Let me go! Is Liuli's soul still in this body? Let her out, I have something to say to her!" Song Zichen struggled hard.
