Chapter 96 Herding horses (1)
The moment Zhao Zimu came, she saw that Situ Ningan almost stabbed Lin Qing in the heart. She was already lenient on her that she didn’t kill her with on palm. Save her? Zhao Zimu felt that she couldn’t do it.
After inspecting Lin Qing, she found out that he was just hit by something like softening bones powder. Only then had she become relieved.
After she put him in one place, she walked to Situ Ningan. Situ Ningan looked at her with a foolish smile and said dumbstruck, “Did you come to take me away?”
As she spoke, she reached out both hands towards Zhao Zimu. Wei Er blocked in front of her and cried to Zhao Zimu, “Gentleman, my miss didn’t mean it. She, she was only, only…”
“Only doesn’t want to live anymore, right? I can fulfill her wish now!” As she spoke, she kicked in the direction of Situ Ningan. If Situ Ningan was kicked by this kick, she would have no chance of surviving with her original injury. In the end, she only heard the sound of a bone fracture. Zhao Zimu frowned and retracted her feet. She looked at the personal maid standing in front of Situ Ningan.
This maid remined Zhao Zimu of her own maid. She turned her head and looked once at Lin Qing. Then, she casted her gaze on Situ Ningan again.
Wei Er endured the pain of broken bones, hugged Zhao Zimu’s feet and looked at her with pleading eyes. Zhao Zimu squatted, raised Wei Er’s head, looked at her with a faint look and said, “If you could survive this time, tell your miss to not have designs on me anymore because I am different from what you think. I am not a man and I don’t like women.”
When the words fell, silence suddenly fell in the big tent. The master and servant were dumbfounded and looked at her dumbstruck. Their eyes were full of disbelief and confusion.
Zhao Zimu didn’t have the intention to take off her clothes to explain and prove to them. She walked to Lin Qing and saw that he had been looking at her. She smiled distressed, “How can I take you away like this?”
As she spoke, she kissed him lightly on the forehead. Lin Qing blinked again. Zhao Zimu said a bit innocently, “I don’t understand, so, don’t blink anymore.”
Lin Qing was frustrated. This place was so dangerous. He wanted her to go back first. She clearly understood but pretended to be confused. Was it so difficult to let her go back first?!
He closed his eyes and didn’t want to look at her. Zhao Zimu turned around and walked to the master and servant. She squatted and smiled, “Is there an antidote?”
Seeing that the two of them didn’t answer, Zhao Zimu’s voice raised a bit. Wei Er recovered her senses, coughed and said, “This, cough, this is not a poison in the first place. Only using too much will cause this effect. So, there is no antidote.”
At this time, Situ Ningan asked Zhao Zimu with a cry that was not yet a cry and a smile that was not yet a smile, “You like Lin Qing?”
“Princess!” Wei Er stood in front of her nervously again and looked anxiously at Zhao Zimu. Her injured body trembled slightly.
No matter how she didn’t believe it, Wei Er knew that the one the person in front of her liked was not her princess no matter if she was a man or a woman. She could even see the indifference and ruthlessness in her eyes which was aimed at them.
“You lied to me! You lied to me!” Situ Ningan shouted heartbreakingly. The pain on her body and in her heart were all given by the person in front of her. How could she be freed? She had no more way to go.
“Situ Ningan, I don’t owe you anything,” Having said this, Zhao Zimu didn’t want to say more. The tragic fate of this woman was based on what her identity brought her. She was just a passerby, was never involved in her life and never thought of approaching her.
Zhao Zimu approached Wei Er and knocked her unconscious. She had to take Lin Qing away immediately. To prevent these two people from causing trouble, they must be knocked unconscious.
Zhao Zimu’s strength wasn’t heavy. After she knocked Wei Er out, she walked to Situ Ningan. She was about to do the same to Situ Ningan, but she was pecked by Situ Ningan. Zhao Zimu looked at her. Situ Ningan laughed miserably. For a short moment, Zhao Zimu’s pupils retracted, but her hand was still tightly grasped.
Situ Ningan still braced herself with a sorrowful smile and asked, “If you have met me first, would you have liked me?”
“I am a woman!” Zhao Zimu said coldly. She truly felt that this woman was about to go crazy.
“He is a eunuch!” Situ Ningan yelled loudly at her. The injury made her breathing unstable. Her arms seemed to be unable to support the weight of her body and her whole body trembled fiercely, but she still stared fixedly at Zhao Zimu’s eyes. It looked like if she didn’t get an answer, she wouldn’t let go.
Zhao Zimu was dumbstruck for a moment. She looking once at Lin Qing before she said to Situ Ningan, “I might only like such a eunuch in this life, so…”
Zhao Zimu got closer to Situ Ningan and immediately slapped the back of her head. The last moment before she closed her eyes, she was left with desperate and dead eyes.
Now that the people in the big tent had fainted, Zhao Zimu ran out of time. She quickly walked out of the big tent. It didn’t take long for her to walk in with a little soldier who she seemingly was familair with. Although, Lin Qing couldn’t see the situation at the door, he was silent for a while and listened to the fluent Xiongnu language. When he spoke with these Xiongnu, there was always Xiongnu who understood the language of the Central Plains to translate for him.
She was such an able and virtuous woman who could also assist her husband and educate the children and also cross dress as a man to go into battle and achieve goals. So much that she could even freely walk in and out of the camp of the enemy. How could such a person fall in love with him?
Since she was his, she didn’t have a chance to run anymore, no matter who it was.

Thank you so much for translating this!!! It’s an amazing novel and I love the reversal role it’s the first time I read something to this extent
Não acredito que esse romance foi abandonado!? ToT ToT
The feeling that Situ Ningan have for Zhao Zimu is definitely not love it’s obsession
It def wasn’t love. Who would fucking love a person from meeting him twice? It’s just her distorted fairytale belief that the prince who saved the princess will live happily ever after with the princess.
Thank you for translating this so perfectly!! The explanations of the idioms made it easier to understand this. The plot is very good. It is my first time to read a novel to this extent! It is also my first time commenting. This story is very good and I hope you will continue to translate it!
