Chapter 95 Rub someone the wrong way (2)
Situ Ningan staggered because of being pushed. She supported herself with the chair. The lowered head was filled with pain and bitter resentment that no one could see.
Dali humphed once and left. This woman was so not tactful, how could she be worthy of being their great khan’s woman? He must report all the things to great khan. By then, great khan must deal with her fiercely. They already had a fall out with Great Liang anyway. What was a princess of Great Liang?
After Dali left, only Situ Ningan, Lin Qing and her personal maid Wei Er was left in the big tent. Situ Ningan smiled weirdly at Lin Qing and said, “Are you satisfied now? Muke won’t let me off. Are you very happy seeing me like this?”
“Princess,” Lin Qing said. That the things had turned like this, who else could she blame besides herself? If Situ Ningan obediently endured being a princess consort, her life may be miserable, but there was still the possibility to live on. What she did today was very unwise and ruined everything she has now. Lin Qing couldn’t imagine how Muke would treat her in the future, but it would definitely be not letting her live well.
Situ Ningan suddenly ran to the front of Lin Qing and raised her hand. A handful of powdery things fell in front of Lin Qing. Lin Qing was surprised and wanted to cover his mouth and nose, but he was too late. He involuntarily inhaled a large amount. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but found out that he couldn’t speak at all. Also, his whole body became numb and he fell straight to the ground.
Situ Ningan smiled at Lin Qing who had fallen on the ground. The beautiful face looked distorted and hideous. She had unintentionally heard the herdsmen of the grassland talk about this thing and then let Wei Er go pick it secretly. Originally, she wanted to use it on Muke if she couldn’t bear it anymore one day. She didn’t expect to use it here today.
Situ Ningan’s face was full of weird expressions composed of smiles and tears. She slowly stepped on the soft carpet, walked to Lin Qing, squatted and looked at him. Her beautiful eyes were full of thick darkness, “Chief Eunuch, Qiansui, do you know the feeling of being alive is more painful than death? Have you ever experienced the feeling of being touched by that kind of disgusting beast-like person every day, being unable to resist and could only let him defile recklessly? Otherwise, the treatment would only get worse. You can’t. You’re not a man anyway.”
Situ Ningan looked mockingly at Lin Qing on the ground and said, “Say, if I kill you at this time, will it be considered doing a meritorious service for that emperor father of mine? Will he send someone to rescue me due to this? Uhm, your eyes moved.” Situ Ningan looked at Lin Qing’s eyelids that had moved and smiled nervously, “I know that you are jeering at me. He won’t. I know even if you don’t say it. He doesn’t have to guts to take the initiative to start war against the Xiongnu and also wouldn’t sacrifice such a high price for me.”
Situ Ningan showed a devilish smile and said, “Chief Eunuch Lin, you probably think that you are poisoned. You aren’t.”
Situ Ningan shook her long and beautiful finger in front of his eyes to express denial, but in Lin Qing’s eyes, this woman was like a beautiful, crazy and poisonous snake, waiting to bite him.
Situ Ningan reminisced again and said, “I made this from the flower that the herders called Nielou. I heard that this kind of flower was originally used to relieve pain, but if a person takes too much of this flower, he may never be able to move again or become a living dead. Just a small amount could make the limbs stiff and immobile. I threw a lot at you just now, right? But don’t worry, you have inhaled a relatively small amount. At most, it will only make you unable to move today…This is also enough for me to kill you.”
Situ Ningan slowly squeezed the sharp jade hairpin in her hand, smiled bitterly and frantically at Lin Qing and said, “Chief Eunuch, I can’t continue to live such days anymore. Since I may die too, then, what baout you keep me company? I’m unwilling to watch you go back and I have to stay here forever.”
She didn’t wait for Lin Qing to respond. The slender fingers like white jade sculptures tightened their hold on the hairpin and the sharp tip touched Lin Qing’s chest. As long as she exerted force, the hairpin will pierce Lin Qing’s heart. By then, he would have no chance of surviving.
Lin Qing felt bitter in his heart. He had survived many storms and waves in this life, but never expected the boat to be overturned here. He still had someone he couldn’t let go off. Could it be that he would just end like this?
Unreconciled, he turned his gaze over Situ Ningan to the entrance of the big tent, hoping that someone would discover the situation here.
Situ Ningan also glanced once at the door of the big tent and then mocked, “Chief Eunuch, stay to keep me company. You are originally a servant of our imperial household. It could also be considered your appointed place to die with me.”
However, Lin Qing’s gaze that passed her suddenly shook violently. His body that couldn’t move shook even more violently.
Situ Ningan’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t turn her head. Her eyes fiercely directed at Lin Qing’s chest. As soon as she tried, the hairpin in her hand was about to pierce down.
However, the web between the thumb and the forefinger became numb. The hairpin was ejected too far away by something. Her body also flew a distance away because of a palm. A mouthful of blood was vomited. Wei Er screamed and ran towards her.
A thin soldier adorned in a Xiongnu costume rushed to Lin Qing’s side, picked up half of his body and checked his condition nervously.
Situ Ningan said with difficulty and fierceness, “Without great khan’s order, you dare to touch me? Are you not afraid that khan would kill you?”
Dali just left. Muke couldn’t have sent someone over so quickly. So, this must be just an ordinary Xiongnu soldier.
After hearing Situ Ningan, that little Xiongnu soldier who had been looking down at Lin Qing and one couldn’t see his face, finally raised his head to look coldly at her.
For a moment, Situ Ningan felt that she was struck by thundering. It was as if the person who had appeared in front of her was an illusion. She had also become dumbstruck and her throat seemed to be stuck with something. She could no longer speak.
“Ah!” Wei Er screamed once. She immediately ran to the person, knelt and wept, “Gentleman, I beg you to please save us. Wei Er begs you in miss’s stead!”
The person in front of them just looked at them silently with a cold expression. There was even a strong killing intent in overflowing in her eyes.
Save them? Are you kidding? She wanted to kill them now!

thanks for the chapter!
wow I pity the princess but also she’s misdirecting her anger. only a bad ending is left for her now that she dared to harm LQ.
Our MC… is not a good person. Daring to kill LQ, the princess’ end won’t be good. Besides, even if she was brought back, her hate for the MC will just drag them down with her.
I don’t get anybody that’s pitying her. She had no worth to begin with because she lacked in all department as a person, she couldn’t even behave properly as a lady. She didn’t strive for anything than a pampered spoiled kid. The minimal worth of hers was her lineage. She’s enjoyed her status and wealth at a cost. Even the princes work and have to prove themselves at a daily for their worth and she can just sit back and enjoy a fairy tale dream? Yeah, no.
I agree! She turned a blind eye to her imperial brothers who are scheming and fighting to get the throne. Because that was their obligation as a prince. To prove that they are worthy and to live. She really did think being a princess only meant to be living in a fairytale. She chose not to know her responsibility. A princess life in ancient times were always to be sent away to stabilize the country or their courtiers. They will be extremely lucky if they could be with the person they love. Smh. She chose not to know the obligations of a princess.
That princess is so ignorant, I hate her to death
with fl’s mindset towards r*pe i doubt she’ll ever have any sympathy for other woman.
