Chapter 41 Murderous Rage

Although the New Years passed, the weather was still very cold. Song Song didn't get rid of his cotton clothes.

This day, the frontlines sent back news. The emperor Hong Ren's dragon heart was very pleased and added a cheerful atmosphere to this New Years festival.

According to the nation's tradition, every year around the lantern festival, the emperor would always visit the Tower of Heaven to celebrate with the common people. Therefore, after the 5th day of January passed, Li Xiao started preparing for the lantern festival. Everyday he left early in the morning and returned very late. Other than visiting the shops, Song Song spent his time coming up with all different recipes for Li Xiao to eat. He definitely inherited his cooking skills from his grandfather. It was very good, almost at the point of making Li Xiao a picky eater.

He liked to eat hotpot and Song Song wasn't afraid to use up time and effort. One soup today, another soup tomorrow. The two spent their days enjoying the winter scenery and good wine, eating their warm soups, then conversing and strolling hand in hand back to their room to sleep.

After the new year, madam Song ran off to find the empress again. This time she was finally allowed into the palace. The empress today did not apply makeup. She sat in her chair calmly as she watched madam Song cry. When she finally cried enough, the empress said softly: "I heard of this matter. Why don't you first sit."

After her sister sat down in a chair, the empress said slowly: "As long as the mad king is alive, then there's nothing you can do about Song Song. Trying to target only Song Song is useless."

Madam Song heard her say this and knew she had a plan. Instantly she sat straight: "Then what should I do?"

"I have a scheme here. If put into use properly, then even the emperor can't protect him."

"What kind of scheme?"

"Everyone knows that the emperor loves the mad king, as if he didn't care who the other killed. However, this is only because Li Xiao controls himself very well. Every Time he had an outburst before, it was just perfect. He never caused any real issues."

Madam Song immediately nodded: "This I understand, but I still don't understand what you mean?"

The empress paused for a moment then said: "This scheme of mine is rather dangerous. It's extremely likely that it wouldn't even be able to knock down the mad king, and instead will end up costing you your own life."

Madam Song fell silent for a while. Her two children, one was killed, the other was ruined. She hated Song Song completely in her heart. Naturally she trusted in this blood related elder sister of hers. In her youth, she wasn't as outstanding as her sister and brother, but she's aware that they protected her. Normally when her elder sister does anything, she always has a sure plan. In other words, she wouldn't let her die.

Madam Song said: "Why don't you let me hear it first."

The empress's expression revealed some sympathy: "I just think those two children are really... ... If it wasn't completely necessary, I wouldn't have you do this job. However, I could tell you definitely want to grind their bones into dust personally."

"What you say is extremely true." Madam Song's tears started falling like waterfalls: "Song Song killed my Ah-Shi and then harmed my Ge-er... Even if I die, I'll drag him into hell!"
