Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 60 part 2

Chapter 60 The prelude of the marriage alliance (2)

Lin Qing had been too busy to return to Qiansui’s residence every night. Fortunately, he held the key to the palace gates, otherwise, he would have to stay in the palace every night when the palace gates were closed. Obviously, Lord Qiansui who had been accustomed now to the days of the obscene didn’t want to be alone in the palace’s emptiness, loneliness and coldness.

This night when he was about to rush back to his residence, someone came to report that the princess had fainted. Lin Qing’s face immediately darkened. Since such a thing happened, he would definitely not be able to go back today. He could only send someone to give Zhao Zimu a message and then rushed to Situ Ningan’s palace.

Everyone knew that Situ Ningan didn’t want the Xiongnu, but no one could change the fact. Furthermore, no one would get anything good from her causing trouble at this juncture.

The first thing that Lin Qing did was report this matter to emperor Jinghui. When he and emperor Jinghui arrived, Situ Ningan’s consort mother, the empress and a large number of imperial physicians were already there. Situ Ningan was still unconscious.

Emperor Jinghui looked at the crying imperial concubine and the empress who had tears in her eyes. He also didn’t feel good. Ningan is also his child, but she must do this.

He went forward to understand the situation from the imperial physician. The imperial physician concluded that there was nothing serious with the princess. It was just that her state of mind fluctuated too greatly, suffered from pent-up frustrations, too depressed and had imbalance of emotions. That was why the qi and blood flow in her body went to wrong way, causing her to faint. Moreover, it seemed that the princess didn’t eat or drink these days and thought too much. Her body was too weak that caused her to be unconscious.

After hearing this, emperor Jinghui left with a dark expression. Emperor Jinghui called Situ Yaohua, Situ Wenrui and Situ Yuanxiao to the imperial study and said with a calm face, “You already know about what happened tonight. Think of a way to persuade your little sister. The day that the envoys would arrive is coming soon. We can’t let the Xiongnu see that the princess our Great Liang sends is like this. Otherwise, if they get angry, they will hurt my Great Liang’s frontier again.”

The few people looked at each other in dismay. This matter wouldn’t be easy for anyone to handle. Even Situ Wenrui who liked to grab merit didn’t rush ahead to take on this task. In the end, Situ Yaohua curtsied to emperor Jinghui and said, “Emperor father, we will take rounds to persuade little sister. Besides, the Xiongnu is not a good place at all. Little sister may just be too worried. My Great Liang’s princess is honorable. The Xiongnu would also understand the strong relationship and wouldn’t dare to do anything to Ningan. Moreover, when Ningan married there, she would at least be a princess consort of first rank (wangfei). There should be no one who would dare to treat her wrongly. We should explain these things to her. She would certainly let go of her worries. Besides, Ningan had always been filial. She would definitely not have the heart to let emperor father and empress mother to be worried.”

“Crown prince is right. For Your Majesty and my Great Liang, the princess would certainly take the big picture into consideration,” Lin Qing agreed. There was no way. He and Situ Yaohua stood on the same side on this matter. It was better to push the boat along the river and get the dragon to solve this mess as soon as possible.

“Beloved subject is right,” Emperor Jinghui nodded in agreement. The long-term obsession with sex had made him feel sleepy at this point. There were thick dark circled under his eyes. If he didn’t go to bed at this hour, he would have a headache the next day.

Emperor Jinghui beckoned with his hand and wanted the few people to retreat. Situ Yaohua took a step forward and said, “Lin Qiansui has been in charge of the palace for many years. He certainly knows what Ningan likes and surely knows better than us how to make Ningan happy again. In addition to persuading Ningan, it is better to let Lin Qiansui be in charge of this matter. He certainly wouldn’t let emperor father down.”

The moment Lin Qing heard that a misfortunate was coming to him, before he had time to speak, emperor Jinghui said, “Right, beloved subject certainly wouldn’t let zhen down, right?”

Situ Yuanxiao also said at this time, “Right, this matter is depending on Qiansui! Emperor father can also be worry-free!”

Lin Qing respectfully said to emperor Jinghui, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. This slave will certainly do this slave’s utmost best for Your Majesty!” Emperor Jinghui nodded in satisfaction. Then he reached out to let Lin Qing help him return to his chamber.

Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao looked at each other and left with a smile. Situ Wenrui casted a helpless look at Lin Qing’s back and also left.

Lin Qing who had received a stab could only stay every day in the palace. Presumably, such days wouldn’t end until Situ Ningan is married off.

This day, Lin Qing once again gave Situ Ningan something unusual. When he reached the door, he encountered Situ Yuxuan who came out with red eyes.

Lin Qing bowed to him. Situ Yuxuan suddenly turned his chubby body and said to him, “Lin Qiansui, why does big sister Ningan have to marry the Xiongnu? The Xiongnu is so far away and the people there are so fierce. After big sister Ningan married there, she would definitely not live well. Moreover, I will never see her again. Emperor father likes you so much, I beg you to talk to emperor father, please.”

Lin Qing was stunned for a moment. There was actually a prince who would beg him. Moreover, it was for someone else. Which prince would do this?

Lin Qing’s eyes flashed and said, “Did Your Highness ever heard about the idiom ‘without the freedom to act according to one’s own volition’?”

“I have heard it. I also understand what it means. Just tell me whether you want to help or not!”

It seemed that this little highness also knows that this matter was difficult to do. Moreover, if it couldn’t be done, the anger would be vent on him, a eunuch who everyone hated. Besides, he is a prince, he (LQ) couldn’t do anything to him. He is truly a clever and noble rascal. Lin Qing looked astonished at him and thought.
