Chapter 140 His request (1)
Her voice was the hope every time Lin Qing dreamed. And her kiss on his forehead truly indicated the existence of this person. She came back and said that she would take him home.
He leaned his entire body on her because he was so tired.
Zhao Zimu quietly let him lean for a while and then changed him into the jailer’s clothes. When she saw the wound on his back, her hands shook. She quickly changed his clothes while taking something out from her body and smeared it on Lin Qing’s face. Before long, Lin Qing’s face became like the jailer lying on the ground.
Time was too tight. Zhao Zimu didn’t have the time to delay longer. She supported Lin Qing walk through the dark corridor. From time to time, there were apathetic and lifeless eyes looking at them from both sides. When she encountered jailers who asked about Lin Qing who was her shoulder, Zhao Zimu would say with a worry expression, “He has stomach trouble. Hasn’t it been too nervous these days. The sirs don’t allow us to have a bit of rest. This buddy didn’t pay attention and got sick. I will take him now to have a look.”
The other jailer nodded and stopped asking. It didn’t take long for the two of them to leave the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Zhao Zimu helped Lin Qing go out through the small door. They didn’t walk for long when they saw a carriage waiting for them. A chubby boy and a scholar-like person greeted her immediately when he saw her.
Zhao Zimu waved her hand and motioned that the two of them don’t need to help. She personally helped Lin Qing on the carriage step by step. She didn’t know why she wanted to be alone with Lin Qing now. In the past, she felt like they always have a long journey to go. However, now, she felt that every step was so cherished.
The chubby boy and the scholar were naturally Zhao Zimu’s disciple Liu Dejin and Zhang Yong. She hasn’t used these people. Now, they came in handy.
One of these two people was already an extremely rich merchant of the north and south. The other was now a disciple of a senior member of the Imperial College. Now, the Imperial College was still waiting for an edict from the emperor. From time to time, they would give advice to eighth prince. That they could rescue Lin Qing this time, these two have played a huge role.
Liu Dejin’s money could be considered to be able to enter any hole. Not only ordinary families, but even some government office would look for him as comprador for some goods. Hence, his tentacles could enter everywhere. The cleverness of Liu Dejin was that he had always positioned himself as a merchant. And the news that he had collected happened unintentionally. In the eyes of everyone, he was a merchant, a merchant a little more informed than ordinary people. Liu Dejin’s influence infiltrated every corner silently. No one found out that this chubby, rich and harmless looking boy actually controlled a huge intelligence network.
And Zhao Zimu had not made use of them. Therefore, he didn’t attract the attention and suspicion of others. At the critical moment, he was precisely the person who could play the most important role. That Zhao Zimu could successfully get into the prison of the Ministry of Justice this time was all thanks to him.
As for Zhang Yong, he was the one who sent the letter to Zhao Zimu.
The two watched intently as Zhao Zimu entered the carriage with Lin Qing. Chubby Liu poked Zhang Yong’s waist and said, “Senior brother, do you still dare to say that our master alienated herself form the worldly affairs?”
Zhang Yong said with a sigh, “Master…” He also didn’t know what to say. When it became clear for what reason Zhao Zimu asked him to go assist eighth prince, it took a long time for Zhang Yong to process it.
After witnessing his master’s gentleness towards Jiu Qiansui now, Zhang Yong felt that everything made sense. Everything different about his master was for the person in front of him.
The two exchanged a glance. Liu Dejin shrugged his shoulders and ran to the carriage. From a distance, he dropped smilingly a “Thank you, senior brother!” Then, he twisted his chubby body got in.
Zhang Yong, “…” Although, his name was Zhang Yong, but that didn’t mean that his is mediocre. Why did he had to drive the carriage every time?!
- 庸 (yong) means mediocre.
There was no other way. For the sake of caution, they dare not to let anyone else know about their whereabouts. They didn’t even dare to use the most loyal servants. Because if something goes wrong, they would all be over.
Challenging the imperial power, if it was discovered, it would definitely be a bloody end.

The little chubby man in the carriage tried his best to make himself nonexistence for the two people in the carriage. There was no other way, the ambiance between the two was really too intimate. He felt so awkward…
“Who is he,” Lin Qing asked Zhao Zimu with his eyes.
“Disciple,” Zhao Zimu said while she rapidly helped Lin Qing treat his wound. When the little chubby brother heard his master mention him, he immediately stood up and straightened his fat chest. He said to Lin Qing with a voice full of energy, “Master, my name is Liu Dejin.”
The chubby Liu Dejin was a bit shy, but there was never a trace of fear on his face. Really don’t know if he was too big-hearted or that he didn’t know who was in front of him.
Lin Qing’s brows eased. He relaxed and let Zhao Zimu toss him around, but he could no longer prop his body up because of the wound. Lin Qing still stared at Zhao Zimu and said, “Why did you appear here? Do you already know what had happened in the capital? Did you come back because of me? Or is it that something had happened in the northwest?”
Looking at the person who was looking at her with confused and complicated eyes, Zhao Zimu pulled out a helpless smile. He was still worried about her. Zhao Zimu said, “Naturally it is because of you.” After thinking about it, she added, “I care about you the most.”
