Chapter 141 Two emperors? (1)
I want you to love me.
The two simple words let Zhao Zimu fully understand what he meant.
Lin Qing wanted Zhao Zimu to love him. No matter what he had done for her or what he had experienced, he only had one objective, one request. He wanted her to love him.
Aside from this, he didn’t need anything else.
“Greedy,” Zhao Zimu smiled with heartache. Although, she knew that this person was not greedy, he was only greedy for her and she was happy to see that.
Lin Qing was bandaged on his back. Zhao Zimu carefully pulled him in her arms and said, “Where is the emperor?”
As she spoke, she touched him gently with one hand. A thin layer of sweat appeared on Lin Qing’s forehead while he grabbed with his hands onto the quilt on a side, “The outskirt on the west.”
“Situ Yaohua wants to become the emperor. The ceremony will be held in three days. Now, emergency measures are imposed in the whole capital! Not even a mosquito can think about doing anything abnormal.”
Lin Qing snorted and said, “He can’t win.”
He knew the situation of emperor Jinghui the best. Emperor Jinghui should’ve woken up a long time ago by now. However, the entire capital was in the hands of Situ Yaohua now. Was there any way to stop him? If they undertake action, they would probably be surrounded by Situ Yaohua’s men before they could do anything.
“I can send a letter and let general Pingxi sent a troop over to provide assistance. It is just that water of far away can’t save the fire at close proximity.”
Lin Qing shook his head and said, “I will send someone to deliver a letter. Because the tiger tally is in my hand, I can mobilize the soldiers of the nearby cities. By then, we will coordinate from the outside and the inside, Situ Yaohua will definitely not be able to sit on that position.”
Lin Qing was not worried. When Zhao Zimu saw that he had everything within his grasp, she couldn’t help but ask puzzledly, “You have schemed so thoroughly, why did you still get captured and sustained an injury?”
Lin Qing said indifferently, “To desire to let him die, I should let him go mad first. I let Lin Jiu go before because I wanted to give Situ Yaohua a chance, a chance to rebel against the emperor. Lin Jiu holds a deep hatred for me and will definitely betray me. And the one who wants me dead the most is Situ Yaohua. He would definitely join Situ Yaohua. But Situ Yaohua is not the kind of person that can be gotten rid of because of a small mistake. So, I must force him to do something rebellious for His Majesty to make up his mind to abolish him and even get rid of him. However, it is impossible for Situ Yaohua do that kind of thing that will make emperor Jinghui to want him dead for no apparent reason. Therefore, I set up a trap for Situ Yaohua to dishonor His Majesty’s woman, arousing His Majesty’s anger, making him want to abolish Situ Yaohua. But I didn’t expect that I tried to be clever and ended up with an egg on my face. His Majesty suffered a stroke first. Lin Jiu is a chess piece that I planted consciously. His role was to give Situ Yaohua a chance for him to do something that will make emperor Jinghui abolish the crown prince. If my plan was successfully originally, there would be nothing for Lin Jiu to do.”
“But you didn’t expect to fail because emperor Jinghui suffered a stroke,” Zhao Zimu continued for him. A hand still randomly stroked his chest.
Lin Qing, “…”
In response to Lin Qing’s gaze, Zhao Zimu very tactfully changed stroking to rubbing…
“And if something really happened to His Majesty, this throne will still be inherited by Situ Yaohua. So, His Majesty must wake up. Situ Yaohua obviously also understood this. That was why there was a little eunuch who wanted to poison His Majesty because as long as His Majesty wakes up, even if the officials oppose the abolition, there would absolutely be no possibility for Situ Yaohua to make a comeback. However, I didn’t expect that Situ Yaohua was so brazen to actually force His Majesty to abdicate and it was using the name of eliminating the evil subject for the emperor. Hence, I can only lead the men to fight on one side and waited for His Majesty to wake up on the other side. As long as His Majesty can wake up, everything will be solved. But during this time, I can’t do anything to Situ Yaohua because he is a prince. Aside from His Majesty, no one can touch him. So, what if I win? If something had happened to Situ Yaohua by my hands, when His Majesty wakes up, he would condemn me in any case. Because no matter what, Situ Yaohua is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace and is his son. No matter how much of a disgrace Situ Yaohua is, I don’t have the qualification to touch him or else, Situ Yaohua’s fate will also be my fate. So, I can only lose and therefore fell into his hands.”
Zhao Zimu had long stopped her rubbing and listened quietly to him. After he finished, she was silent for a moment and then leaned on his body and hugged him.
She knew that everything he did was for her…

LQ is such a clever long-sighted schemer but got in trouble because there are some thing that can’t be controlled 🤨
Fortunately he has ZZ as his partner ♥️
Thanks for the chapter ❣️
The privilege of the enemies was our protagonist’s biggest downfall, to be damned. But that makes a comeback of someone with a servant status even more amazing
