Chapter 59 Another person’s possession (1)

In short, it was already the next morning when Lin Qing woke up. The whole night of passion made him also lose control. When he straightened up, his waist was so sore because his muscles had been too tensed. He wanted to just never move again. Inexplicably, he felt that he had returned to the time when he was a small eunuch. Every day, he felt so tired that he wished to lie in bed forever.

When he thought about what had happened last night, he still felt a bit embarrassed. He also didn’t know where that person went to. He heard Xiao Lianzi’s voice outside the door. After thinking about it, he stood up while enduring the soreness.

Xiao Lianzi was stunned for a moment when he saw Lord Qiansui and moved away his gaze. He felt that there must be something wrong with his eyes. He had to find a doctor to look at them.

Lord Qiansui’s expression was really like a stab to the eyes! It was like a sapling that had dewdrops on it; full of vitality and was unlimited bright like the scene in the spring time of March.

Xiao Lianzi didn’t dare to probe for anything. He only respectfully handed Lord Qiansui a letter from Liang capital. If it wasn’t an emergency, the party in the capital wouldn’t write to Lord Qiansui at such a time.

Lin Qing was silent for a moment before accepting the letter. He opened it, looked at it and his eyes darkened. He crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the charcoal furnace at a side. He beckoned to let Xiao Lianzi retreat.

It happened to be lunch time when Zhao Zimu returned. She brought food. It seemed that she had gone to get food for him. Was it because she had guessed that he wouldn’t be able to get up today?

Lin Qing sat down dejectedly at the table and waited for her. Zhao Zimu tactfully put down the food. Then, she sat down next to him and helped him rub his waist. Lin Qing felt embarrassed because of the rubbing. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate muffled.

Zhao Zimu knew that he was presumably uncomfortable because of what had happened last night. She remembered that his reaction yesterday should be considered happy, right? Well, the thickness of Lord Qiansui’s face had been used to deal with the hundreds of officials at court. There wasn’t enough left when facing her. But it didn’t matter. Looking at the reaction of Lord Qiansui yesterday, his face should become thicker after a few more times.

Lin Qing ate a few bites while holding the chopsticks. Then, he put them down, looked at her and hesitantly said, “The party in the capital had sent me news. We need to go back.”

“What news?” Zhao Zimu frowned. Now, it was the second day of the new year. Even if those princes and officials wanted to do something, they would’ve waited till after the new year. What was the matter that they had to rush back on the second day of the new year?

Lin Qing didn’t answer her. Zhao Zimu’s fingertips gently tapped on the table and made some sound which seemed to hit Lin Qing’s heart repeatedly. She didn’t wait for Lin Qing’s answer and said instead, “You are the husband and I am the wife. You and I share both the honor and the disgrace. We are already like two trees that had grown together as one. Your catastrophe is my catastrophe. Your difficulty would soon become my difficulty if you can’t solve it. So, you don’t have to hide anything from me.”

After being with her for a long time, Lin Qing discovered that if this person didn’t want to bother with you, she wouldn’t even spare you a glance. Conversely, if she had put you in her heart, she would treat you well in a thousand of ways. Pledges of undying love and sweet words would be thrown at you without reservation.

However, she was right. There was no need to hide his affairs from her because his difficulties are her difficulties. He wanted to exclude her and solve it alone, but it was really unnecessary. Moreover, he wouldn’t be able to hide it from her, so, he said, “His Majesty had already agreed to the marriage proposal of Xiongnu’s little prince and is going to marry a princess to the Xiongnu. As soon as the spring arrives, the Xiongnu would come and take the princess away. I am the Inner Chief Eunuch. Now that the princess has to marry, there will be many things to be busy about. So, I have to go back to make preparation in advance.”

Ay, it seemed that they couldn’t stay much longer outside anymore. Originally, she brought him here for him to take a good rest. Suffering two stabs by sword in one year was enough to make her feel distressed. She had never thought that he couldn’t halt and couldn’t even spend the new year well.

Zhao Zimu said, “Okay, we will leave after we bid our goodbyes to master and aunt Qing.”

This action of emperor Jinghui made Zhao Zimu a bit angry. He agreed the moment the Xiongnu proposed. Was the blood that had been shed for so many years at the border in vain? Using a princess to exchange an unreliable promise from the Xiongnu. It was simply a joke. Not to mention that child was still so young.

Things were already like this, so, she had to go back with Lin Qing. Lin Qing nodded. He felt very apologetic. This time, he wanted to spend time with Zhao Zimu, but in the end, he disappointed her.

Lin Qing had no appetite to eat the white rice in his blow. Zhao Zimu glanced over and said, “Eat.”

Lord Qiansui…ate.

After eating, Zhao Zimu intentionally and unintentionally said, “It would be so great if you were just an ordinary person.”

Lin Qing asked, “You don’t like?”

“Afraid that you will die.”

Lin Qing laughed and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t die. I will protect you for the rest of my life.”

Zhao Zimu only smiled and didn’t answer. If you like it, I will let you be.

After bidding goodbye to Qingyu’s master, Zhao Zimu and Lin Qing prepared to go down the mountain. Unexpectedly, they ran into Yang Ji.

After nodding his head at Lin Qing’s group, Yang Ji said to Zhao Zimu, “Junior sister. Can I have a word with you?”

Zhao Zimu thought for a moment. Then, she looked once at Lin Qing and went with Yang Ji. Lin Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at their leaving backs. Did this guy think that he didn’t see the trace of restrained fear in his eyes?

The corners of his mouth made a signature arc that was both ghastly and dangerous.

Xiao Lianzi’s heart trembled and he immediately stood respectfully behind Lin Qing because he knew that once Lord Qiansui showed this look, someone would suffer again.

Lin Qing glanced at Jia Yi and Jia Er. The two immediately understood tacitly and disappeared. As for Xiao Lianzi, the corner of Lin Qing’s eyes shot down and said, “Investigate.” Xiao Lianzi bowed and accepted the command.

At a corridor, Yang Ji asked Zhao Zimu, “Do you know who the person beside you is? How did you come to follow him?!”

That was right. Yang Ji already knew of Lin Qing’s identity. The reason was the servant he sent to invite Zhao Zimu yesterday, had gone to do business in Liang capital before. It happened to be the time that Lin Qing accompanied emperor Jinghui and his entourage to pray for blessings at Spiritual Temple. The servant was fortunate enough to had seen Lin Qing once. Now, the servant had recognized Lin Qing.

This was a major event. Hence, he had urgently reported it to Yang Ji that he is the Jiu Qiansui of this dynasty! He had actually come to this small manor. It was like a fantasy story!

Yang Ji was also stunned. Could it be that the husband Zhao Zimu mentioned was this person? But he is a eunuch!

Although, Lin Qing’s power and evil reputation made him very afraid of the consequences, but he is a eunuch after all. No matter how great he (LQ) is, he wouldn’t be greater than him. He believed that Zhao Zimu was only temporarily led astray by Lin Qing or was threatened by him and only married Lin Qing as a last resort. What she said to him yesterday must be for his own good. She didn’t want him to get involved in trouble. With such a stubborn personality of junior sister, how would she ask for help?

He was careless. For a moment, Yang Ji’s thoughts were in a whirl. He wanted to save Zhao Zimu but was worried that he would anger Lin Qing and cause everyone to be in a dangerous situation. At that time, not only him, but his entire family may have to bear Lin Qing’s anger.

  1. Wow I knew he was scummy (he wants her to marry him as a second wife) but he has a wayyy too high opinion of himself to think it was all for him.
