Chapter 76 Want to always follow you (2)
Lin Qing might do everything possible to please emperor Jinghui, but when had he bowed his head to someone other than emperor Jinghui? Not to mention that he wouldn’t tolerate Chen Jing showing off his military prestige, that other person also wouldn’t allow Chen Jing to show off by using her maid.
She turned over and went out of the carriage. Her foot raised a bit and a gray stone swiftly advanced to Chen Jing’s arm. Then, she flew, reached out, pulled her maid into her arms and threw her inside Lin Qing’s carriage like a puppy.
Just when she wanted to turn around, she heard a gust of wind coming from behind her. She turned over to one side and avoided the sneak attack by the person coming at her. While she was at it, she kicked and the yellow sand flew bossily at the forehead of the dignified person and let him truly eat a face full of sand.
“Miss, ah, young master is mighty!” Ling Er screamed excitedly, attracted the weird gazes of everyone.
“Third prince!” Chen Jing hurriedly went to Situ Yuanxiao. Situ Yuanxiao ignored him and only glared at that hateful guy.
This guy had saved Situ Ningan before. He thought that he was just someone who pretended to be haughty and arrogant, but he had never thought that he was one of Lin Qing’s people. Maybe, he got close to Ningan with a purpose and let Ningan act like that on the day of the setting off for the marriage. A small guard had such deep scheming. He couldn’t teach Lin Qing a lesson, could it be that he also couldn’t teach him a lesson?
Situ Yuanxiao had decided to humiliate Zhao Zimu. That was why, he seized the opportunity and attacked just now. He didn’t expect that Zhao Zimu’s skills were so outstanding and kicked a face of sand at him. How could Situ Yuanxiao not get angry?
He glared fiercely at her. Zhao Zimu raised an eye brow and smiled slightly at him. She chuckled, “Fifth Highness’ expression is so terrible. This subject had been frightened. The place where we are going is dangerous. It is better for Your Highness to be happy, otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for the morale.”
When the hateful words were spoken with a smile, Ling Er couldn’t help but snicker. However, Zhao Zimu frowned and said, “What are you laughing for? You are laughing like a girl and made people laugh at our Lord Qiansui for nothing!”
As soon as this was said, Ling Er immediately looked like a little hen whose neck was strangled. Her eyes were wide opened and her mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out.
Both Situ Yuanxiao, Chen Jing and the surrounding soldiers felt that it was reasonable. This little fair face indeed looked like a girl. Is Lord Qiansui taking such a person to the frontier? Wasn’t this increasing the morale of the enemy’s army?
- Little fair face is a derogatory term for a pretty boy.
A laughter came from inside of the carriage. Everyone naturally knew who the owner of this laughter was. Their expression stagnated and they put away their face of guessing his thoughts. After all, the one inside of the carriage was temperamental. They may be killed before they arrived with him to the frontier. It was better for them to be cautious.
The gaze Situ Yuanxiao looked at Zhao Zimu with was very unkind. However, before he could condemn her, Lin Qing called her to his carriage and she took that little fair face with her.
Looking at the person’s back, Chen Jing wanted to comfort Situ Yuanxiao aloud. After all, he is a prince and had suffered a grievance because of him (CJ). How could Chen Jing who followed him faithfully not say a few words to comfort him?
However, before he could say anything, Situ Yuanxiao sneered and stopped him from speaking. He said, “No need to say anything. Let him be arrogant for the moment. We will have plenty of opportunities to clean him up in the future.”
Chen Jing immediately clasped his fists and said nothing. No matter what Situ Yuanxiao wanted to do, he would stand by Situ Yuanxiao’s side.
Inside the carriage, while Lin Qing looked at the documents, he glanced at the two people from time to time. He wanted to see how Zhao Zimu would handle this little girl.
She was no longer a four-year-old child. Lin Qing felt that Zhao Zimu didn’t have to let the little girl follow, but he would let her take this decision herself.
Looking at the pitiful person in front of her, Zhao Zimu said helplessly, “Don’t you want to think about it more?”
Ling Er nodded solemnly, “Wherever miss is, is wherever I will be. I will never go back no matter how miss persuades me. If you must send me away, I will come back by myself. So, miss, let me follow. I can take care of myself and won’t hold you back.”
Zhao Zimu was silent. After a long time, she lowered her eyes and said, “I won’t stop you from following. However, if you die, I won’t recognize you as my maid anymore.”
“Miss…,” To be able to say such weak and helpless words, Ling Er knew that Zhao Zimu was really angry. She (ZZ) was like this because she didn’t want to vent on her. She had also never saw Zhao Zimu vent her anger on her. This was the first time that Zhao Zimu used such a cold tone to speak with her.
But even so, she still heard her (ZZ) worry for her from her tone. Like this, she can’t leave her (ZZ) even more.
Ling Er had already regarded Zhao Zimu as her only relative in this world. how could she stay in a safe and watch her go through life and death?
Ling Er couldn’t do it. No matter where, she wanted to follow the footsteps of her miss and watch her from behind all the time. Ling Er felt that this was her own happiness.
