Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 144 part 2

Chapter 144 Mercy and evil (2)

Situ Yuanxiao fell into a coma due to the poisoning. After all, the poison that Situ Yaohua specifically prepared for Lin Qing must be abnormally fierce. Hence, even if Situ Yuanxiao had taken the antidote, he would still be in a coma for a short period of time.

This actually saved Lin Qing a lot of trouble. If Situ Yuanxiao was awake and threatened to use Zhao Zimu’s identity against him, then things would become troublesome.

Situ Yaohua was not dead yet. Lin Qing would never let any accident happen during this period. Even if Situ Yuanxiao could wake up, Lin Qing would not let him wake up so soon.

On the second day that emperor Jinghui had returned to the palace, Situ Yaohua was imprisoned and what was waiting for him was inevitably a silk about three Chinese foot long or a jar of wine. Such an important matter as ordering a crown prince to commit suicide was something that would make the imperial household lose face. Emperor Jinghui would definitely choose someone he trusted the most now to go handle this matter. And this person would undoubtedly be Lin Qing.

• Chinese foot is one third of a meter.

Sure enough, seven days later, Lin Qing received the order from emperor Jinghui to give Situ Yaohua three things. A long sword, the white silk and poisoned wine, leaving only one sentence to Lin Qing, “Let him go peacefully.”

This was really the most benevolent way to die in this world. There was actually so many choices. It was like putting a table full of dishes and let you choose which one is your favorite. However, no matter which one you choose, there would only be death.

This was the kinship of the heavenly family. No wonder Situ Yaohua wanted to sit in that position so much.

After Lin Qing received the order, he didn’t hesitate to take Zhao Zimu with him. Jiu Qiansui’s thought was quite funny. Taking his madam with him was only to show off. After being sullen for so long, he wanted to retaliate all he had suffered back to Situ Yaohua.

Zhao Zimu naturally followed him docilely and restored to her original face when she appeared in front of Situ Yaohua with Lin Qing.

In the dimly lit cell, only Lin Qing, Zhao Zimu and Situ Yaohua were left. When Situ Yaohua saw Zhao Zimu, his eyes were a bit sluggish. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t find the person he had searched so long for, but Lin Qing seemed to be with her at all times. However, if she really was with Lin Qing at all time, how could she be hidden from him?

Now, that he had ended up like this, there was nothing more to hide and he directly asked Lin Qing his confusion.

Lin Qing didn’t answer him immediately. He just put the things bestowed by emperor Jinghui in front of Situ Yaohua first. He looked at him and said, “Your Highness, this is His Majesty’s intention.”

“And also yours,” Situ Yaohua laughed.

Lin Qing didn’t care. Instead, he pulled Zhao Zimu who was standing at a side, hugged her and said, “Your Highness, I know that you loathe me, hate me and wanted to kill me. You look down on me. In your eyes, I am only a disgusting old eunuch. You feel happy to humiliate me. If you can kill me, it may become the happiest thing of your life. However, I am standing here now. What I want to tell you is…”

Lin Qing paused. A crazy look suddenly appeared in his eyes and he said, “Although, I am a eunuch, but I am no different from you except for one thing! Why can you attack me unscrupulously and persecute me?! I am a eunuch, but I didn’t do anything to you! In all fairness, when had I taken the initiative to become your enemy? What I did what I should do, I didn’t do anything wrong! But all of you want me dead! Why?!”

Lin Qing yelled at Situ Yaohua. He was full of unwillingness, sorrow and resentment. He is different from others, but why should he deserve death. He had served emperor Jinghui for almost twenty years. He had never lead emperor Jinghui astray to do something that shouldn’t be done, but why did everyone think that he deserved to die?!

When had he done something that deserved death?

Fighting all the levels of the court and acting on the command of the emperor, he couldn’t be blamed for those.

He had also never done anything unfavorable to Great Liang and also didn’t torture the civilians for no reason. Besides, every time something important happened to the civilians and no one bothered with it, when wasn’t it he who pressured those people of the Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Works to provide financial and physical resources to quell down the calamity? He even bore with the people in the northwest who despised and disrespected him. However, he was infamous all over the world. How could he not feel hate?!

“It was said that eunuchs could only die alone, but I also want someone to love. Why do you all come to covet my people?! Why? Now, I got what I wanted,” Lin Qing said slowly to Situ Yaohua.

He calmed down his emotions and continued, “You are about to die. I am better than you.”

That was right, Lin Qing won. So, he got what he wanted and would go on forever with the person he loves. And Situ Yaohua lost. He was about to face death.

His ending was better than his (SY). He (SY) was not as good as him. This was what Lin Qin finally wanted to say to Situ Yaohua.

What about being a eunuch? What about being hated by everyone? He was still better than them.

Situ Yaohua was silent and didn’t spoke. Zhao Zimu grabbed Lin Qing’s clothes, pulled his head down and rubbed his lips lightly. She whispered, “Sorry, I let you suffer so much grievance. If we can start over, I will love you more.”

All kinds of grievances, sadness, anger, pain and helplessness of the world turned into nothingness with this sentence. Because there was her, it would be fine no matter how his life is.

The heaven was like a wicked child. After he snatched your candy and let you be inconsolable heartbroken, he gave you a piece of panna cotta that you love the most. And no matter how heartbroken you were before, you would only accept it with a smile.
