Chapter 95 Rub someone the wrong way (1)
Situ Ningan had her eyes widened as if she had never seen him before. Doubts and disbelief were filled in those eyes.
How come? Situ Ningan didn’t believe that Lin Qing actually rejected her offer. This person who everyone said was cruel and vicious, how could he be reluctant to give up a subordinate?
“What is the relationship between you and him?” Situ Ningan asked nervously. A pair of eyes looked fixedly at him.
Lin Qing ignored her, but restored the respectful habit of facing a member of the imperial household and said to her, “Princess, you should go back. You have been at this servant’s for so long. If the Xiongnu knew about it, they would certainly not be happy.”
Situ Ningan looked at him with unwillingness. She didn’t want to leave just like this. In fact, rather than threatening Lin Qing, she hoped that Lin Qing would take her when escaping, but she knew that that was impossible.
The grassland is not her hometown and Muke is not her perfect match, but her happiness had been buried under this seemingly broad but merciless blue sky. She was not reconciled.
“Who is there?!” Wei Er suddenly shouted. She stared fixedly at the cowhide screen and shouted nervously. Lin Qing and the other person also immediately looked there.
Looking at the clothing, the one hiding behind the screen must be a Xiongnu. The few people in the tent became nervous. If this person was someone of Muke’s side, then all the conversation that happened just now would be known to him.
Although, no nervousness could be seen from Lin Qing’s face, but his eyes showed fierceness. Lin Qing could be cruel to himself, so, he could be crueler to others.
Although those words were not life-threatening, not to mention that Muke should know that his main consort had someone else in her heart before marrying, but no matter what he (LQ) didn’t want that person to be involved in danger. He could not care about anyone in this world, but he could not treat her with a trace of neglect.
Situ Ningan was even more nervous. She had already grasped the hairpin hidden in her sleeve. Cold sweat broke out of her palm. The price she paid was great enough to get Muke to pamper her. She no longer wanted to suffer any more torture.
Situ Ningan was still too inexperienced. Although, she had experienced so much, she was still not mature enough. She easily expressed the fear in her heart on her face. Wei Er tightly guarded at her side.
The person behind the screen came out. When the two people saw the person, both of their hearts stopped and an uneasy feeling came to the heart because the person who came was no other than Dali, the left Tuqi king of the Xiongnu khan.
The Xiongnu normally put more importance on the left. There were two kings under the Xiongnu khan; the left and the right Tuqi kings. The left Tuqi king was in charge of the eastern part of the Xiongnu district. The right Tuqi king was in charge of the western part of the Xiongnu district. But in terms of the power, the left Tuqi king was stronger.
Under the Tuqi kings, there were the left and right Guli kings. The left and right Guli kings were in command of the Xiongnu’s left and right general, the military ranking, the head manager, the left and right vice generals and twenty-four leaders. They were called Ten Thousand Mounted Soldier.
Muke wasn’t a simple person. How could he easily let his main consort who didn’t know her place, meet with Lin Qing? Therefore, Situ Ningan’s whereabouts should be in his grasp at all times. Muke promised to allow Situ Ningan to meet with Lin Qing, but Situ Ningan was still too impatient. Muke had just mentioned it to Lin Qing, she had already taken the initiative to go to Lin Qing’s tent. How could Muke be at ease with her being like this?
Therefore, it was only natural for Muke’s most trusted Xiongnu left Tuqi king to appear here.
The left Tuqi king first curtsied to Situ Ningan because no matter what, she was still their princess consort. Then, he said to Situ Ningan with a bad expression, “Princess consort is really free. I will definitely report today’s matter to great khan. I hope that you will remember your identity!”
The identity of the princess consort of the Xiongnu was Situ Ningan’s fatal weakness. After hearing Dali’s words, her face paled. She grabbed tighter onto the hairpin in her hand. She never wanted to be tortured by Muke again!
Lin Qing’s expression had long recovered. Why did he get nervous after he had encountered her (ZZ)? He understood that as long as Zhao Zimu was still in Great Liang, what could the Xiongnu do to her? He didn’t have to shed all pretense of cordiality with them now.
Moreover, if it was a soldier who came out from behind the screen, Lin Qing wouldn’t mind giving it a try. If the soldier was truly killed, then he would say that the soldier was disrespectful to Muke’s main princess consort and was killed accidentally. Just a little soldier, Muke would probably be angry, but he wouldn’t truly do anything to them. However, this person is the left Tuqi king. He has not even a tiny bit chance of winning on martial arts.
But Situ Ningan became crazy. She suddenly rushed forward, raised the hairpin and wanted to pierce it in Dali. She had enough of these days. There had been times where she was better off dead. So, she rushed forward.
Dali naturally didn’t put importance on her. He grasped her wrist and pushed her out. She is the princess consort. Dali couldn’t do anything to her. She could only be handled by the Xiongnu khan.
Situ Ningan smiled sorrowfully. She looked at Dali and Lin Qing and said, “All of you don’t want me to be well. What about being a princess? Am I still not being played with in the palm of your hands? Since you don’t want me to live well, then don’t think about living well!”
This woman had become crazy. This was the thought of Lin Qing and Dali.
Situ Ningan was indeed going crazy. Being tortured by Muke day after day, her body and mind had been in a state of pain and despair every for months. After she finally wanted to accept her fate, she heard the news of Lin Qing’s capture, letting her deeply buried feelings for Great Liang resurge.
If Lin Qing was captured a year later, Situ Ningan might’ve been used to this kind of life; a life of being in fear and without any hope. However, he happened to come at this time and also ended all the hope of Situ Ningan. How could she not resent, not hate?
Situ Ningan understood that all of this had nothing to do with the person in front of her, that she was where she was today was all thanks to the Xiongnu and her emperor father. If it wasn’t because of them, she wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.
However, she had had enough. Lin Qing could go back, why couldn’t she? She, the noble princess of Great Liang was much nobler than a eunuch, right?
But why was the love that the heavens have her so fickle? So, she hated, hated the heavens and hated everyone who had failed her.
