Chapter 20 I don’t abhor you
Lin Qing froze and blankly gestured for everyone to retreat. He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. He looked at her. The big purple robe hung down on the bed to the ground. It outlined his slender figure. His dark eyes stared indistinctively at her as if he wanted to look to the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Zimu glanced once at the scrolls on the table. She also didn’t know what she was feeling. Shouldn’t these things be in the study? Now, they were scattered here and there. The ink on the golden inlaid brush was still fresh. It could be seen that he had been waiting for her here while reading the scrolls.
Lin Qing as the Inner Chief Eunuch had the right to supervise the scrolls in the emperor’s stead. All the scrolls that had been submitted had to be presented to him first. After he read them, he would make comments based on the content. The emperor only needed to read the comment to decide according to the recommendation or just put a seal on it as permission.
Therefore, all the scrolls of the ministers would pass through his hands first. It could be said that if they truly wanted to go against Lin Qing, it would be very easy for Lin Qing to trip them.
Now, this person who overturned the court was lying quietly on the bed and waiting patiently for Zhao Zimu. The long black hair was simply bound by a jade crest. There was somewhat a refined elegance on his face, making his ruthlessness not to be seen at all.
Zhao Zimu slowly walked towards him until she was in front of him did she gently call, “Du Gong.”What she called him was Du Gong (督公) which is used to call someone old of authority.
Lin Qing was the commander of the Prefecture of Arrest. It was not wrong to call him that. Lin Qing raised his eyelids and asked a bit coldly, “Am I very old?”
Zhao Zimu smiled and said, “How could that be? If I call you Lord Qiansui (1000 years), wouldn’t that sound even older?”
“You are very eloquent. I don’t see you flatter me usually like this. Is it that you want something? You have to know if it’s not because I’m willing, to want to get something from me, you have to pay a value that satisfy me,” Lin Qing said without care. His fingers gently pressed his temple.
Zhao Zimu’s change was too sudden and too big, making Lin Qing unable to not suspect that she had some other motive. Even if he thought that with her character, it wasn’t very likely, but he still couldn’t help himself from probing.
Zhao Zimu took his suspicion and uneasiness into her eyes. She shook her head gently. If it wasn’t because she lived once more, it would be very difficult to see something from that face of Lin Qing that didn’t reveal any weak points.
Zhao Zimu didn’t want to dillydally any longer with Lin Qing. She wasn’t the patient kind and he was someone that she cared about.
She reached out and gently released the jade crest under Lin Qing’s surprised eyes. She put it aside on the high table. Lin Qing’s hair spread out like black silk. Lin Qing grabbed her hand and looked at her coldly, “I didn’t expect you to be so brave!”
Zhao Zimu looked at him grabbing her hand, smiled a bit helplessly and with a slight indulgence, she said gently, “I have always been.”
“Are you afraid of the death?” Lin Qing asked. Even if he liked her, he still kept his suspicion and was even threatening her slightly.
Zhao Zimu got impatient. The cool look in her eyes clearly showed her current mood. Before Lin Qing could get the idea to probe more, she directly twisted his hand and put it behind his back. Under Lin Qing’s furious eyes, she put her hand on the bed for support and then quickly leaned down to seal his mouth. She nibbled lightly and grinded slowly, but it was with force. She didn’t give him a chance to open his mouth to call someone. Until when Lin Qing’s struggle lessened did she leave his lips. Looking at his slightly red and swollen lips that had been philandered by her, she said tenderly, “I don’t abhor you.”
One sentence stopped all Lin Qing’s resistance in an instant. Only his eyes looked fixedly at her.
