Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 68 part 1

Chapter 68 You are my everything (1)

Situ Yaohua felt resentful in his heart. The sky of dignified Great Liang was covered with one hand by such a person and his actions determined the life and death of others. Was this Great Liang still their Situ clan’s?!

However, what he needed to worry about were not these things. Instead, it was about how to make it appear that he had no relationship with these people!

But what he was worried about happened. When sir Li was dragged away, he suddenly grabbed his (SY) yellow robe and wailed, “Your Highness, please save me. Your Highness, plead for leniency for me. This, this subject will definitely wash my heart and renew my face and go all my way out to serve Great Liang and His Majesty!”

• Wash my heart and renew my face: to turn over a new leaf/ to repent sincerely and mend the mistaken ways

Unexpectedly, Lin Qing who was next to emperor Jinghui deliberately interjected, “Sir Li must be joking. Could it be that you didn’t go all your way out to serve His Majesty before?! If not, then, who did you go all your way out to serve?”

Situ Yaohua’s expression changed instantly. He immediately took a few steps back and said, “Why be like this, sir Li? If you are innocent, emperor father will definitely return your innocence to you!”

Sir Li’s face was ashen. Although, he was not stupid enough to expose his relationship with situ Yaohua, he knew in his heart that this Eastern Palace couldn’t help him. He (L) tried his best to support him with all his heart in the past. Now, he had angered Lin Qing. Who could he blame for not having bargaining chip to let Situ Yaohua help him?

Seeing that Dai Lu also struggled to crawl over here and fearing that he would say something implicating, Situ Yaohua quickly beckoned with his hand to let the guards quickly lead them away.

It was just that no matter if he truly watched on with folded arms or saved them or not, it would let his supporters’ heart chill, but what could he do?

Emperor Jinghui snorted heavily at Situ Yaohua. Although, he didn’t say anything, everyone understood what he meant. He handed the Ministry of Revenue for Situ Yaohua to take care of, in the end, such a thing happened to the Ministry of Revenue. How could he be satisfied with Situ Yaohua?

Situ Wenrui naturally couldn’t let go of this opportunity to hit Situ Yaohua and seized the chance to say, “Eldest big brother, emperor father handed the Ministry of Revenue for you to handle, is this how you help emperor father?”

Situ Yaohua didn’t respond yet when situ Yuanxiao immediately said, “It’s not your turn to worry about this. It’s enough that you take care of your Ministry of Works.”

Some people didn’t pay attention to the dispute of the two princes, minister Lu Mingde of the Ministry of Justice knelt and said, “Your Majesty, shall we continue to discuss what had happened yesterday? This subject asks to pardon Zhao Zhong!”

The minister of the Ministry of Justice was also one of the people who opposed the punishment of Zhao Zhong yesterday. Now that the old matter was brought up again, the other two people also appeared and said, “These subject seconds that!”

The number of people were not too much nor too small. It would not pour oil on emperor Jinghui’s anger and would let people feel that it had some weight. Moreover, Zhao Zhong’s matter was less eye-catching compared to today’s matter. After all, Situ Ningan already belonged to the past.

Emperor Jinghui who had been given the potion of ecstasy by consort Hui and being brainwashed by the officials, already didn’t pay much attention to this matter now. Furthermore, letting Zhao Zhong go could show his benevolence. Emperor Jinghui said with a distracted heart and thoughts in turmoil, “Forget it, you decide!”

Emperor Jinghui obviously didn’t put much importance on this matter. A small Zhao Zhong couldn’t attract the attention of emperor Jinghui. Lin Qing quickly said, “Does Your Majesty mean to let him go?”

Emperor Jinghui said impatiently, “Let him go.”

Lin Qing was overjoyed. A genuine smile appeared on his face. o\Of course, Situ Yaohua thought that it was too piercing to the eyes. This incident had been settled like this by Lin Qing. As the saying goes, one word of the emperor is worth nine sacred tripods. It was not the usual practice to change what the emperor had said.

The court meeting ended in this way. Lin Qing achieved his goal and left satisfied with emperor Jinghui.

Situ Yaohua slowly stood up from the ground. Prime minister Lin walked over, sighed and comforted Situ Yaohua, “Lin Qing is a wily old fox. You are still young. Moreover, this world will be yours in the future. Your Highness should endure this humiliation as part of an important mission.”

Prime minister Lin’s words were simple, but the cost of the loss this time was too great. Two important members of the Ministry of Revenue and an official of the Ministry of Appointments, plus, it was uncertain what more losses there would be if the investigation continues. Furthermore, he didn’t know how much price he had to pay to let Lin Qing be satisfied.

Situ Wenrui would definitely gloat if he was frustrated. Moreover, if the Eastern Palace continued to be crowded out, he (SW) would certainly think up every possible method to seize it. The power that he was able to consolidate after such a long time was lost a few percent in such a short moment.

Situ Yaohua was unwilling to accept that. Only now did he feel regret. For a small Zhao Zhong, he lost so many people. It was not worth it.

People’s psychology was very strange. After doing something, no matter if the decision was right or not, forget it, if the goal was achieved; if the goal was not achieved, the vast majority would regret the decision that was made. Situ Yaohua regretted now, but he didn’t think about his original intention.

Lin Qing stood steady as Mount Tai outside of the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The gorgeous cloak floated along the wind outside of the door. Looking at the silhouette that appeared slowly at the door, a smile appeared on his face.

A handsome and heroic palace guard walked towards him. A faint smile was on his face.

Resisting the urge to pull her into his arms, he took her hand and the two left together.
