Chapter 94 I will! (2)
Lin Qing shook his head imperceptibly. The princess in front of him was very smart. After she had gotten married, she learned everything she should’ve learned; some things that were not suitable for her to learn, she also learned, and used it so clumsily on him.
“Princess, what are you trying to say?” Lin Qing asked calmly without a trace of panic on his face.
A violent wave flashed in Situ Ningan’s eyes when she looked at his calm eyes and said in a low voice, “Does Qiansui know that your expression of just now looks like someone?”
“Who?” Lin Qing asked. He really didn’t know who he could look like. No one had ever said that before. Hearing it now, it sounded interesting.
A trace of resentment suddenly flashed in Situ Ningan’s eyes, who originally planned to threaten him. A bitter smile appeared on her lips full of irony. She grinned, “Speaking of which, this person should be your subordinate. You shouldn’t have forgotten the day I got married, did you?”
Lin Qing looked at her. The resentment had disappeared from Situ Ningan’s face and she returned to look at him coldly and said, “I know that Chief Eunuch Lin thinks that as long as you betray my emperor father, you will be able to leave this grassland. Maybe, you can really leave, but as long as I am here, things will not be so easy.”
The woman in front of him suddenly laughed, laughed sarcastically. Lin Qing suppressed the anger in his heart and said respectfully, “Then princess, what do you want?”
It wasn’t impossible that Situ Ningan wanted to stop him because she was loyal to the imperial household. Although, she was forced to marry the Xiongnu, she will always be a member of the imperial household after all. Perhaps, her heart may still lean towards the imperial household.
Therefore, Lin Qing wasn’t sure whether she would really cause obstruction at Muke’s side to prevent him from leaving. Then, it would be more difficult for him to return to Great Liang.
Lin Qing was now wearing ordinary gray clothes and the look on his face was a bit tired. The many days of rushing made his long body look a bit thin. Although, he was a bit depressed, but the slanted eyebrows still made him involuntarily carry a somewhat cruel aura. One could still see the shadow of Jiu Qiansui from his body.
But now that he had fallen to this state, everyone knew that as long as he was not careful, this powerful person was very likely to never be able to return to Great Liang. From a god that everyone feared, he become a loess. By then, don’t know how many people would clap and cheer.
Suddenly a few unspeakable meanings appeared in Situ Ningan’s bright eyes. She looked at Lin Qing and said, “As long as you send that subordinate to the Xiongnu, I promise to not make things difficult for you. Moreover, I will help you leave here smoothly. What do you think?
Everyone was selfish. Situ Ningan was the same. The imperial household of Great Liang had raised her for more than a decade and she had repaid it with the happiness of her whole life. Now, it was impossible for her to do anything for Great Liang’s sake. Not to mention that she knew that although she could bring some trouble to Lin Qing, but she still doesn’t have enough bargaining chips to go against Lin Qing or to stop him from leaving.
It was already beyond her expectations to get this result. Situ Ningan wanted to exchange these conditions for something that she could get.
That person had failed her, but even like this, she wanted to get him at all costs. She is Great Liang’s princess, why did he have to let her down?
The long-standing resentment has made Situ Ningan bigotry. That was why she proposed such a condition.
However, what Situ Ningan didn’t know was that Lin Qing’s performance of making a concession was entirely because he wanted to rush back to see someone. That was why he took considered about her (SN), otherwise, what Situ Ningan mentioned to him was worth nothing to him.
But now Situ Ningan’s term was far beyond his bottom line. Lin Qing absolutely couldn’t tolerate this. Lin Qing suddenly changed his respect and coldness and said with smile, “Princess, you are already the main consort of the Xiongnu’s khan. You saying that, are you not afraid to create a misunderstanding? You have to know that although there are only the three of us in the tent, but you wouldn’t have forgotten the idiom that walls have ears, right? It would be no good if you were misunderstood by the Xiongnu’s khan.”
Lin Qing said that with a smile that was not yet a smile. Situ Ningan also smiled, “This princess didn’t say anything. This princess only asked Qiansui for someone. Qiansui wouldn’t be so stingy, right?”
Situ Ningan really didn’t understand. Didn’t she just ask him for a subordinate? Is it worth for Lin Qing to care so much? Could this be more important than his future freedom and power?
She didn’t believe that Lin Qing was such a person who couldn’t afford to sacrifice even a subordinate.
Beneath the people in high positions were all bones. Lin Qing wouldn’t have been able to climb to such a high position without a cruel heart. Therefore, Situ Ningan would never believe that he didn’t have the heart to do that to his subordinate, unless that person was somehow related to him.
Facing Situ Ningan’s probing gaze, Lin Qing smiled and said to Situ Ningan, “Princess, since you have already married the Xiongnu khan, you have to understand your identity. Nothing good will come from thinking about things you shouldn’t think about. Are you not worried that I will tell the Xiongnu khan about this?”
Situ Ningan squeezed her palm, looked him in the eyes, tightened her rosy lips and said, “You won’t.”
Situ Ningan was sure that Lin Qing would not use his future freedom and power to risk her for a little subordinate. Hence, she was sure that he would definitely agree to her terms.
But she didn’t expect that Lin Qing’s faces turned cold instantly and said coldly, “I will!”
