Chapter 289: Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Seven Section 4
Sun Kui: "..." Your Majesty, is it really good for you to sit back and watch like this?
"Let them argue." The emperor said with a smile, "A little argument is good for health." As he spoke, he glanced at He Lianfang, whose face was flushed with anger, "Fang Fang has been cooped up here for too long, it’s making him miserable. Now, let him argue with Mr. Song to vent his anger and frustration. This way, he won’t get sick from holding it all in."
Sun Kui looked shocked: "Your Majesty, is that why you brought General Song here?"
"Fang Fang gets most upset with Mr. Song. Every time he sees Mr. Song, he loses his temper." The emperor chuckled, "See how considerate I am."
Sun Kui silently complained in his heart: Your Majesty, is this considerate? This is clearly enjoying the show!
The emperor put down his teacup, propped his face with his right hand, and his mouth curled into a playful smile: "I find it quite amusing to watch them quarrel. Let them continue!"
Sun Kui sighed inwardly: Just as I thought!
Your Majesty, you really are terrible!
He Lianfang and Song Dekang were arguing furiously, but neither of them got physical.
Song Dekang disdained to lift a hand against someone in a wheelchair. He Lianfang wanted to hit Song Dekang, but being in a wheelchair made it inconvenient.
He Lianfang and Song Dekang hurled insults at each other. Their insults were incredibly vulgar, leaving Sun Kui dumbfounded.
In Sun Kui’s mind, He Lianfang didn’t seem like someone who would use foul language.
Even though He Lianfang was a military officer, judging by his appearance and demeanor, he seemed more like a scholar.
After listening for a while, Sun Kui found it unbearable.
"Your Majesty, the insults from General Song are terribly crude..." Although he already knew that General Song was a rough person, he didn’t expect him to insult people like this. And none of his insults repeated.
The emperor was unconcerned and said, "This is nothing."
Sun Kui was shocked and asked, "Could it get any worse than this?"
"Yes, indeed." The emperor smiled warmly, "If it weren’t for Fang Fang’s mobility issues, they’d be using their fists already, doing a mutual ’bottom-of-the-sea scoop the moon’."
Sun Kui imagined the scene and was speechless.
He Lianfang and Song Dekang hurled insults at each other for a good hour before they stopped.
Their exchange was evenly matched. He Lianfang choked on his own spit, which finally brought their quarrel to a halt.
The emperor considerately asked Sun Kui to serve them some tea.
"After finishing the tea, feel free to continue your argument. Don’t mind me." The emperor said considerately.
Upon hearing this, Song Dekang realized he had been out of line earlier.
He Lianfang felt like he was being made a fool of and glared at the emperor angrily.
"Why stop arguing?" The emperor propped his face with his left hand, smiling gently, "Lian Fang, you feel stifled inside. Arguing with Mr. Song more would be good for you."
If looks could kill, the emperor would have been torn to pieces by He Lianfang’s glare.
"Mr. Song, Lian Fang needs to release his pent-up frustration and anger, so argue with him some more."
Song Dekang: "..." Boss, when you say it like that, how can I continue arguing with He Lianfang?
Wait a minute, Song Dekang suddenly realized something and quickly asked, "Boss, did you bring me here just to argue with this madman?"
The emperor snapped his fingers, "Exactly, and you’re the only one who dares argue with Lian Fang."
Feeling used, Song Dekang’s mouth twitched fiercely.
"Boss, I’m not a street shrew."
The emperor laughed and said, "Just now, you looked quite like a street shrew."
Song Dekang felt insulted, and he had proof.
"I saw you arguing just now, and you seemed to enjoy it." The emperor said, "It’s been a while since you’ve argued so heartily."
Song Dekang gave an awkward smile, "It really is." He glanced at He Lianfang, "Madman, shall we argue a bit more?"
He Lianfang felt like the emperor and Song Dekang were toying with him. He said gloomily, "Get lost!"
"Tsk!" Song Dekang sneered, "Who do you think you are, asking me to get lost just like that?"
He Lianfang couldn’t be bothered with Song Dekang any longer, giving the emperor a dark stare.
"What are you doing here?"
"I’m here to see you and let you vent your anger." The emperor said cheerfully, "You’ve argued for a bit, feeling better inside now, right?"
He Lianfang coldly said, "If you have something to say, say it."
Knowing he had fulfilled his task, Song Dekang didn’t say anything. He obediently and quietly stepped aside.
"I’m just here to see you, nothing else." The emperor said, feigning grievance, "Why don’t you trust me?"
