Su Renyu was puzzled, but he still knelt down and said, "Please give me a quote from Your Majesty."
The emperor's voice seemed to come from a far away place, "You have always had second thoughts towards me, and you only want to regain the former dynasty. Can you admit it?"
Su Renyu straightened his back and said calmly: "My heart is worthy of heaven, and I am humble to the earth. I serve the country and the people, and I am loyal to the emperor and serve the country. I have never done anything to disgrace your majesty."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Really?"
Su Renyu straightened his back and looked up at the superior emperor, "I was indeed negligent and guilty of Song Huaian's rebellion. However, I never had any dealings with him. Those wordless letters must have been framed by someone sent by him."
The emperor said: "I won't tell you any letters. I'm just asking you, what did you say during the Battle of Xiaolongwei?"
Su Renyu was startled, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled away. That happened more than ten years ago. At that time, Ying'er was not dead yet, and she stayed with him, pretending to be a boy in his army tent, accompanying him.
He shook his head slowly and said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
The emperor hummed: "Let me remind you, have you ever said that you only need to wait for the swords and guns to be stored in the warehouse, and the horses to be released to Nanshan, and we can return to the mountains and forests together, and be happy and free."
Su Renyu squinted his dark eyes, and almost without any pause, he suddenly remembered that he had said that when he and Ying'er were walking by the river after the victory, he hugged her affectionately and said those words
, I hope that I can retreat to the mountains and forests with her, ignore the worldly world, and make up for her well.
At that time, she just smiled coquettishly, shook her head, and said with a disappointed expression, "General, in this current situation, unless you become a king on your own, how can you get a real paradise?"
He couldn't help but trembled, and looked up at the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were heavy and his face was dark, "You have remembered!"
Su Renyu couldn't help but suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He and Ying'er were walking horses that day, but there was no one around at all. Why...
Will the emperor know?
Su Renyu nodded slowly, "I remembered it, it was just a sigh. I and the Su family are loyal to the country and have never had two hearts. I was born in a family of officials, but I was not reused. If not appreciated by Your Majesty, I would be just mediocre.
, I am grateful for His Majesty’s kindness day and night, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. I only wish that the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, and that Your Majesty’s country will be forever solid.”
He kowtowed to the ground and held back his tears. Regardless of the ministers or the traitors, in the end all his achievements were in vain.
It is enough for him to spend half his life repaying His Majesty for his kindness in recognizing people.
