Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 134 part 1

Chapter 134 Rescuing the monarch! (1)

While everyone was anxiously waiting for emperor Jinghui to wake up, Situ Yaohua quietly withdrew from the palace and walked to his own palace.

Step by step on the dark bluestone corridor, Situ Yaohua felt that his heart was heavy as he watched the maids and eunuch curtsying at him as he passed.

The only person in this world who could hold him accountable is his emperor father. And his emperor father would wake up one day. By then, what should he do? Not to mention that he originally didn’t do anything wrong, even if he did, who would be willing to just stand here and wait for the death?

Situ Yaohua was unreconciled! This great dynasty should have been his! And the one who caused all of this is Lin Qing!

He looked obscurely at the wall of the Forbidden City in a distance. The imperial city was so majestic that it was captured in his eyes and the ambition in his heart slowly climbed up and finally reached his eyes.

This world is his! Always will be!

He turned around to the empress’s palace. Then, he sent people to summon Lin Xian. And when the empress knew that Situ Yaohua was waiting for her, she would also go back to her own palace.

Situ Yaohua didn’t know how long it would take for emperor Jinghui to wake up, but he knew that this was his  only chance and he had to seize this opportunity and fight for himself!

Bang! The tea cup in front of the empress was swept off by the wide sleeves of her overcoat when she suddenly stood up and made a bang sound.

While she covered her mouth with one hand, she looked at Situ Yaohua in disbelief. Lin Xian’s face also turned pale and his lips trembled and they made a sound as if they were struck by something. His eyes were as in disbelief as the empress’s.

“Your, Your Highness, are you serious?” Lin Xian asked dryly.

Situ Yaohua looked at him painfully and said annoyedly, “Why would I joke with this kind of thing with you? Uncle, you must help me this time! Hua er’s success or failure is in your hands!”

• Er: term of endearment

Lin Xian took a step back blankly. Situ Yaohua continued, “Uncle had always been close to Hua er. If emperor father wakes up, he will not spare Hua er. When that time comes, not to mention empress mother, everyone related to Hua er won’t end well. Therefore, we might as well take advantage of the fact that emperor father hasn’t waken up and use the pretense that we are cleaning evil subjects up for the monarch to remove Lin Qing. The advantageous position to call the shots is in our hands. Even if emperor father wakes up, what can he do? It will be too late then.”

“Hua er, I only want to ask you. How will you explain to your emperor father when he wakes up,” The empress asked sadly. The empress who had always been sweet-tempered didn’t expect such a thing to happen. One is her husband and the other is her son. No matter to whom something had happened, it would be as if a piece of her heart had been gouged out!

“Empress mother don’t have to worry. When the time comes, this son will have my own consideration,” Situ Yaohua avoided her gaze. Then, he looked at Lin Xian and said, “Uncle, everyone at court admires you and respects you. As long as you give the order, they will definitely respond. The imperial army would not dare to move as long as father didn’t leave a will. Hua er is confident that as long as the operation go well, people of the Court of Judicial Review, the Ministry of Justice and the King’s Administration will be on our side. By then, what is a small Prefecture of Arrest? We will be able to catch them in one net!”

Situ Yaohua’s breathing was rushed and his eyes were fierce. The aura radiating from his body made the empress and Lin Xian feel a chill.

Although, Situ Yaohua didn’t point it out, Lin Xian knew that Situ Yaohua didn’t tell him some things clearly. For example, how would Situ Yaohua face emperor Jinghui when he wakes up? Although, Situ Yaohua went around it, Lin Xian knew that things weren’t that simple.

Lin Xian was already a veteran of two reigns. What kind of struggles hadn’t he seen before and how could the dark thing in his (SY) eyes escape him?

The crown prince is planning to be unfilial and revolt!

Having been an official for decades, originally he thought that after he had experienced the wind and rain of the previous reign, he would be able to spend the second half of his life peacefully. He didn’t expect that when he was already old, he would experience what happened to the late emperor again. However, this time he would not stand on emperor Jinghui’s side. Instead, he would be on crown prince Situ Yaohua’s side.

This didn’t mean that he was disloyal, but the situation was such that he had no other choice but to stand behind Situ Yaohua and help him. Emperor Jinghui had gotten old and his thoughts were hard to fathom. Lin Xian felt more and more unable to guess his thoughts.

Obviously the crown prince is the legitimate one, but he doted on eighth prince. Such disregard for the legitimacy would inevitably cause for a disaster of the country.

And if it was really eighth prince who gets the throne, then, what would happen to they, the Lin clan, who has supported the crown prince? What would their ending be? Moreover, the crown prince is his nephew. Only when the crown prince ascends the throne would it bring the greatest benefit to the Lin clan.

So, even if Lin Xian knew what Situ Yaohua wanted to do, he would still stand by his side because he had no choice and it was his best choice!
