Chapter 46 The injury
Zhao Zimu spoke calmly and powerful. There was firmness in her voice which made people know that she was being serious. Zhao Zimu rarely took things seriously. Once she got serious, even ten cows wouldn’t be able to pull her back.
Lin Qing took the initiative to hold her hand. Although, he was not confident, but he knew that at this moment, he should stand by her and face the pressure of the person in front of them together. Before attacking the person, one should attack the heart first. He must let aunt Qing know that no one could separate them.
Aunt Qing looked angrily at Zhao Zimu and said, “Do you have to be with him? Does he deserve it for you to be like this?”
Zhao Zimu nodded. This time, aunt Qing said sarcastically to Lin Qing, “What about you? What qualifications do you have to love her? What ordinary people can give here, you can give none. Do you want her whole life to be destroyed by your hand? Being spit on, cursed, mocked, looked down on and then die with you and have her name go down in history as a byword for infamy?!”
Every word of aunt Qing stabbed the heart. Lin Qing couldn’t refute anything she said because it was the truth. Although, there weren’t many people who said bad things about Zhao Zimu now, but if his relationship with her is known to others or if one day he wants to marry her, by then, it would attract countless infamy for her. Even if no one would dare to reprimand her in his face under his suppression, but behind his back, they would scold her till she was full of cuts and bruises. By then, would she be able to stand the scolding and strange looks of ten thousand people?
Lin Qing didn’t care about being scolded and didn’t care about others being scolded. He had immersed in the trickeries of the palace for so many years. If he was even afraid of these things, he would’ve long been drowned by the saliva of the civil officials at court and the world.
But this person is Zhao Zimu. It was the person who said to him that she likes him and it was also the person he had wanted for so many years. He couldn’t bear to let her suffer, but he couldn’t bear even more for her to leave him. He would go crazy. If Zhao Zimu left, he didn’t know what kind of crazy and terrible things he would do because he was originally not a good person.
Lin Qing’s pale face was white like paper, but he still used a gloomy look to look at aunt Qing and say, “Except for what I can’t give her, whatever else she wants, I will give. It is even fine if she wants my life.”
Aunt Qing obviously didn’t believe him. She sneered and looked at him. Suddenly, her sword pierced at him. The glimmer of the sword was like rainbow. It could be seen how fierce this stab is. It had the meaning of taking Lin Qing’s life.
Zhao Zimu’s eyes turned stern and pulled Lin Qing over. She greeted aunt Qing with one hand. Even if she didn’t have a sword, she still dealt with aunt Qing at ease.
Aunt Qing was so angry that she wanted to chop Zhao Zimu. She also knew that Zhao Zimu often roamed the Jianghu alone in her early years, but she never knew what Zhao Zimu had experienced because Zhao Zimu never let anyone follow her when she went out.
She never expected that Zhao Zimu’s martial arts were already so high. Zhao Zimu’s martial arts had been obviously taught by her, but Zhao Zimu had made many changes and the strokes were more diligent and fiercer than her. Now, Zhao Zimu used it against her!
How could aunt Qing not get angry?! When she attacked, she didn’t have any scruples. Because Zhao Zimu didn’t have a sword and because the person she was facing was someone who was like a mother and teacher to her, she could only dodge. A short while later, the house became a mess. The table, chairs, tea cups and vases were all over the floor. The two were almost about to fight from the room to outside. Lin Qing had long sent the people of Qiansui’s residence far away. So, even if there was such a big disturbance, no one rushed over.
Zhao Zimu didn’t want to fight anymore and deliberately put a flaw in front of aunt Qing to let aunt Qing stop after a stab. However, Lin Qing saw this behavior and panicked. He blocked it without thinking.
Although, Lin Qing was mediocre at martial arts, but he was able to barely come in between the two. The sword that aunt Qing used to stab Zhao Zimu was instantly pierced into Lin Qing’s body.
Under the startled eyes of the two, the long sword pierced in Lin Qing’s chest. The blood immediately dyed the silver-patterned clothes of Lin Qing’s, making it appear dazzling.
Zhao Zimu immediately caught Lin Qing’s body that was about to fall and screamed. The voice was stern and trembling and her eyes had turned red.
Aunt Qing was dumbstruck for a long time. Finally, she gave Lin Qing a complicated look, turned and then left.
Lin Qing leaned against Zhao Zimu’s arms and grabbed her clothes tightly. He looked at Zhao Zimu’s eyes that was a bit wet and said in a low voice, “I hurt.”
Zhao Zimu quickly hit a few meridian points. Her panicked expression didn’t calm down at all. She coaxed Lin Qing tremblingly, “Be good, it won’t hurt soon. It will be okay.”
If aunt Qing’s sword had stabbed Zhao Zimu, it wouldn’t been very deep because she wouldn’t be able to bear to hurt Zhao Zimu, someone who she loves dearly. The sword had already stopped before it stabbed her. If it was Zhao Zimu, aunt Qing would’ve stopped as soon as the sword touched her. Unexpectedly, Lin Qing blocked midway and the force of the sword had all been taken by Lin Qing. Naturally, the wound would be deep.
Aunt Qing wouldn’t attack Zhao Zimu’s vitals. However, the one who received the attack was Lin Qing. Their heights were a bit different, so, the sword that was originally not fatal was stuck in Lin Qing’s chest. The blood flowed out so much that it let Zhao Zimu be at loss about what to do.
Soon, the people of the residence arrived. After the panic, they immediately called the doctor at the residence. After the doctor of the residence took a look, he almost lost all his courage. In fact, it wasn’t just him. Everyone here were so scared that they lost their courage. If Lin Qing dies, then they, those who had followed him would also not have a good ending and would soon become stray dogs that everyone could bully.
Xiao Lianzi was so scared that his soul almost left his body. If Lin Qing dies, regardless of how the court would react, the sky of the inner palace would definitely change.
Lord Qiansui definitely can’t die. After Xiao Lianzi regained his senses, he immediately let Jia Yi and Jia Er who had returned after they were healed, to go to the palace and invite the imperial physician over. The skilled imperial physicians were usual aged. Even if they had to carry the imperial physician, they had to bring him.
Zhao Zimu carried Lin Qing to the soft couch in the room. She quickly untied his clothes and looked at the wound. The panicked expression suddenly calmed down.
Zhao Zimu had high martial art skills and naturally had some understanding of the human body. She saw that aunt Qing’s sword was a bit off, but if Lin Qing moved a few inches, he would’ve been dead.
Zhao Zimu’s expression was dark, Lin Qing’s face was pale. The pale-faced person said to the dark-faced person, “Why does it seem like you are angry with me? I obviously blocked the sword for you. Could it be that you really don’t want me anymore?”
Zhao Zimu, “Are you very proud?” Zhao Zimu looked at him gloomily while she took out the Gold Sore Medication and put it on his wound. The Gold Sore Medication made by the palace was squandered by her like cheap flower.
Looking at the two centimeters deep wound, Zhao Zimu’s brows and eyes twitched unconsciously. Lin Qing felt a bit aggrieved in his heart. The one who was wounded was obviously him, but she threw a temper at him.
Zhao Zimu continued to say somberly, “There is something you don’t know.”
Lin Qing looked at her suspiciously. What did he have to know now? Zhao Zimu looked at him fixedly and then leaned and whispered in his ear, “If you die, I also won’t be able to live on.”
Lin Qing was stunned and looked blankly at Zhao Zimu. The simple pain in his chest turned into soreness, making him feel that he had to vent.
“Kiss me,” Lin Qing said impatiently. His eyes were filled with urgency and desire. Zhao Zimu kissed him. This time the one taking the initiative was not Zhao Zimu but Lin Qing. He was like a beast that had gone hungry for a long time. He grinded fiercely on the mouth of the person in front of him as if he wanted to swallow the whole person bit by bit.
The space in his heart that had been empty for a long time was filled with something, but it was not enough! He wanted more!
Lin Qing was like a fox that had premediated for a thousand years and was tempting the person in front of him to step into his trap willingly. Now, his purpose had been half accomplished.
The old imperial physician in the palace who had originally been rushed over to here by Jia Yi and Jia Er and who was panting, was now flushed with anger because of the scene of the two people in the room. He almost couldn’t breathe the remaining breaths. Was this letting him come treat a wound or something else…?
The doctor of the residence who had been unable to advance or retreat and stayed silently at the door, quickly fled after seeing the old imperial physician. The scene was too hot. He couldn’t handle it. It was better for the more respected veteran old imperial physician to handle it!
Xiao Lianzi who brought the imperial physician in was also speechless after he sent Jia Yi and Jia Er away. It seemed that Lord Qiansui’s wound was not as serious as they thought. However, after suffering such a serious injury, he could still do this kind of thing. He really was a role model of all the eunuchs in the palace. Xiao Lianzi felt very moved and his eyes were wet. This was winning honor for all the eunuchs in the world!
Zhao Zimu’s who had put her hand on Lin Qing’s head left his lips. She respectfully invited the old imperial physician whose face had turned red and was bewildered.
After the old imperial physician looked at Lin Qing’s wound, he carefully bandaged with medicine and prescribed the next medication for Lin Qing. After he gave some reminder, he left.
The news that Lin Qing was wounded had spread because they entered the palace to invite an imperial physician. Within a few days, there was an endless stream of people Lord Qiansui’s residence. There were people who wanted Lin Qing to live, naturally, there were also people who wanted Lin Qing dead. Those who wanted him to live naturally went back in joy and rejoiced in their heart. At the same time, they wished that Lin Qing could truly live to a thousand years. Those who wanted him dead hated it so much that their teeth hurt and cursed him in secret to die sooner.
Even Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao came to visit, but they came under the name of emperor Jinghui. How could he not be worried about a subordinate who was loyal and shared his worries for him? A lot of government affairs had not been dealt with yet. His pills also needed Lin Qing to find him a lot of Taoist masters. His beauties also needed Lin Qing to collect more and etc. Emperor Jinghui really couldn’t do without Lin Qing.
In just a few days, two decrees of expressing sympathy were made. The precious medicinal herbs of the Imperial Hospital were moved box after box into Lord Qiansui’s residence. Now, he even sent Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao. The importance of Lin Qing in his heart could be seen.
Enough people had come to visit Lin Qing in the past few days. In order to let Lin Qing recuperate better, Zhao Zimu had already sent many people away. However, although Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao were hateful, but they couldn’t be easily dismissed. So, they had to be invited in.
However, Zhao Zimu was very upset. Since she was upset, she didn’t want the people who made her upset be happy.
